Six Hundred TOrDadOeS.
W ashington Post

Gen. Hagen, the chief signal officer, is paying a good deal of attention to the subject of tornadoes, with a view to obtaining so clear knowledge of this class of storms that some of their evils may be mitigated.
 Last year tue signal service is sued, as one of its professional pa pers, very important monograph on the character of the storms of May 29 and June 30, 1879. The paper was very elaborate. and there is now In press another professional paper by the same writer, which contains a tabulated statement of 600 tornadoes and some generaliza tioDs from their facts, with some suggestions as to the method that ought to be pursued in the investi- gation of the storms.
 The 600 storms cover a period Of eighty seven years, and the. whole country. Their examination leads to the conclusion that tornadoes occur most frequently Tn summer, and in the month of June. They have oc cured, however, more frequently in April than in July, and in May and September than in August. Kansas is the State that has been most af- ficted, and that, notwithstanding the fact that the period during which tornadoes have visited it has been comparatively short. The State has had sixty-two tornadoes from 1859 to 1881; Illinois has had fifty-four from 1854 to 1881; Missouri has had forty four from 1874 to 1881; New York has had thirty five from 1881 to 1881; Georgia thirty three from 1S04 to 1881; Iowa thirty one from 1854 to 1881; Ohio twenty eight from 1923 to 1881; Indiana twenty. seven from 1852 to 1880. The States and Territories that have had only one each from l794 to 1881 are Col orado, California, Indian Territory, Nevada, New Mexico, Montana. Rhode Island, West Virginia. Wyo ming. The storms occur most ire quently from 5 to in the afternoon, although there is no hour in the day that has been entirely tree from them.
 The. average width of the path of destruction is l,0S5 feet. and the storm cloud runs with the velocity of from twelve 10 sixty miles. The wind within the vortex sometimes attains velocity of 500 miles an hour, the average velocity being 392 miles.
 Among the most valuable sugges- tions of the paper are those with ref erence to the peculiarity of the move. meats of tornado clouds, containing rules for arriving at their violence. A tornado cloud always has centre, and it always moves forward from west to east. It may, however, sway from side to side in It's progressive movement. Changes in motion are sometimes very sudden. In the event of q sudden change the observ- CT, who is east or south of east of the storm, should move quickly to the south. If he IS northeast he should move to the north. If with Tn very short distance of the clouds the observer should run east, bear. ing to the south. This indicates the character of the directions, which have been given for the avoidance ot the disastrous effect of storms.

A New Era,

The true secret of happiness is per feet health, which enables the individ> ual to enjoy life, and attain competency and contentment. The martyr to dys- pepsia, m continual misery, is without hope in the pursuit of business or pleasure, and realizes that existence yields only failure. But a new era has come, and good health is assured with positive relief from the ills of in, digestion and torpid liver, by the. use of Dr. Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets. They are very nice, try them, Only 25 and50 cents, in handsome boxes. For sale by Jno. TurAer 6s Co.,, at the New Drug Store.

A PhySicianS Opinion.

A physician, writing to the Journal of Health, in speaking of Browns Iron Bitters, having carefully analysed its ingredients, says: "There is no other remedy in existence so harmless and yet so effective. No other compound should ever be used for general i'll health and chronic diseases of the pull monary, digestive, and urinary organs. It is mild, yet sure in It's action, and gradually restores perfect health and strength to every function of the or. gans of lite. It's action is so very mild that there is no room left for relapse, neither will it's discontinuance bring on craving for it's use or renewal of past disorders.

BY THE BEAUTIFUL RIVER,

Or in the Beautiful Room with Fin ley's Patent Rubber Enamel Carpet we sat down and smoked the pipe of Peace and wondered in our souls if the time would ever come when wonders would never cease. Solomon, the wisest Of men, sand, "there was nothing new un- der the sum-" but 1 think he would change his mind were he living. He would say that this process of making a paper carpet at mere nominal price, or at one-fifth the cost of an oil cloth was new to him, and that it took the top persimmon from the highest tree This new carpet is being introduced by John.

A good whitewash for outside work is made as follows; For wood work, slske halt a bushel of fresh lime by pouring over it boiling wa
 ter sufficient to cover it four or five inches deep, stirring it until slacked {; add two pounds of sulphate of zinc (white vitrol) dissolved in water. Add water enough to bring all to the consistency of thick whitewash; it may be colored by adding powdered ether, Indian red, umber. etc. If lampblack is added to colors, it should first be thoroughly dissolved in alcohol. The sulphate of zine causes the wash to become hard in a few days. Another, for brick, ma sorry and rough cast, is made as fol lows: Stake half a bushel of lime as before; then fill barrel two thirds full of water, and add bushel of hy draulic cement. Add three pounds of zinc previously dissolved in water. The whole should be of the thick. ness of paint. The wash is improv- ed by stirring in peek of white sand just before using it. It can be colored as before described.

Fashion Notes.

Persian cloth mantles trimmed with chenille fringe are very fashion able.
 Puf1s of ruches are more stylish than pleatings for edging dress skirts.
 Jersey jackets are preferred tc the masculine English waking jack cts.
 Riding habits skirts barely touch the ground when the bearer stands erect,
 Japanese satines have heads, birds, fans, screens and letters printed up, on them.
 Flannel dresses for seaside and mountains are of soldier blue, or mustard color.
 Cream white grenad!ne is made up over satine and trimmed with flowers cut out of cretonne for sum nor dresses. A bonnet, fan and parasol are made to match these.

The publication of all the names of

The Puppy's Story.

"What am l here under the barn for,
and what am l crying about?"
Well, 1 guess if you'd suffered what I
have, Master Johnny, you'd crawl under
the barn and cry. I've been abused,
that's what l have!
''What did 1 do?" Nothing to be
whipped for. l don't even know what L
Ua whipped for. 1 didn't do any harm,
rs / can see.
''What did / do anyhow" Well, 1
just went into the hen-house. and there
was q box of hay there, and on the hay
there was q lot of the queerest-loOking
things, round and white and smooth. /
don't know what they were, nor where
they came from. / smelled of them and
found they were hard, and l thought it
would be great fun to roll them around.
So l rolled them about with my nose and
paws, and finally one rolled out on the
floor. | went to pick it up, and there
was q crack in it, SO the juice was run
ming out. l tasted of it and found il was
good, so / ate the whole of the thing,
excepting the white part outside; that
was too hard.
Then | rolled the rest out on the floor
and ate them too. l was glad to find
those things were good for something.
I didn't suppose they were of any use
only to play with.
just as 1 had finished eating the last
one, while the hard white parts lay there
all around me, master came in az the
door. looked up and wagged my tail
as usual, and what do you thinkp He
just took me by the collar, and picked
up o stick, and then how he did whip
me! / shall be sore for q week.
l don't know what it was all for; / can
only guess. And this is what / guess
about it. l think he was angry with me
because | didn't eat the white parts too,
instead of wasting them. I'm sorry l
didn't, but / thought L couldn't; they
were so hard and dry.
However, I'll go in tomorrow and
look for some more, and if l find any, I'll
eat the whole, hard white parts and all,
if it kills me!
Then I'm sure he will be pleased, and
l shan't have to take another whipping.
