WHAT CAUSES RAIN STORMS.


1t is principle Of physics that action
and reaction are equal. II the increased
solar energy actually increased the aver
age temperature Of earth. during tho
past summer and winter, literally burn
ing up the great Island of Australia, it ig
not strange that the reaction chills the
month Of May, and deeply affects human
ity with the unaccustomed dampness.
The unusual cold and rain follow per
force, The sun hns licked up from the
sea an unusual quantity of ynpor. Con-
densing, the air is. robbed Of heat and
there is settled chill On the Atlantic
coast there is special cauee for chill
winds aud fierce storms. The warm and
Omen winter caused IN early breaking
up Of Arctic ice in Bafiin's bay and along
the const Of Labrador, 30 the Northern
Atlantic was as a very early date filed
with vast islands Of floating ice, lowering
the temperature Of both the water and
the air. This lowering Of temperature
occurs before the sun has assumed full
sway, not enabling the earth and ocean
to accumulate any considerable amount
Of warmth The wind from The east has
an icy breath, as though blown from The
ice crags floating in the Atlantic. II will
be remembered that last summer, Eng
land was cold and damp. being fairy del
uged with rain. In the antumn the At
lantic was the scene Of the most terrific
storms on record. Now il seems to be
the lot Of cur continent to suffer from
the great reaction. How long it will con-
time is question of interest. It has
certainly continued long enough to bring
unnumbered ills to suffering humanity.
Our spring was not spring at all, but
as Ritcher says: only a winter painted
green.

LEPRosY-A sEAsoNABLE WARN
ING.

The Sedalia (Mo.) Demcciat notes
that there is being accumulated an
alarming large amount Of substantial
warning against the habit Of cigarette
smoking, and the most startling yet
developed is the danger Of contracting
this horrible disease by tho indulgence.
Upon the Pacific slope, whore Chinese
abound cigarettes Of all kinds are az
the leaves; and the less remarkable
feature about the industry is that there
is to be found a boy for every cigarette
AZ reenlt, there are said to be several
well developed cases Of these youthful
smokers. The victims undoubtedly con-
tracted malady from Monaghan lepers
employed in the native cigar factories
where these cigarettes are made. On
this point, the physicians who have
examined the case unanimously agree, ).
andas leprosy is SO contagious it is rot
remarkable for it to be communicated
in this way. In the cases referred to,
the disease has revealed itself about the
lips and tongue in the form Of sore,
which will rapidly spread, it being in q
very sensitive and susceptible part Of the
human organism.

SALT THE STOCK.

Petersburg Index Appeal.
Do not omit sailing the stock for a sin
gle week at time. at this or any other
season. II is Of the greatest Importance
for all stock. horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs, and especially SO in sections re-
mote from salt marshes and saline soils.
Its action is tonic and medical, impart-
ing appetite and tone to the stomach,
aud vigor to the general system. A hand

ing. or feeding on damaged hay, would
often prevent or cure collie. Mich COWS
need it constantly, especially in spring.
1t improves their milk and reduces it's
tendency to become sour. Hogs often
need it also. This animal gets less salt
from its owner than any other class Of
stock, and this is one reason why cholera
is SO destructive among them Of late
years. BE sue to salt your stock every
eight Or ten days. A better plan is to
keep Jumps of rock salt in troughs with
in their reach AZ all times. They will
lick little daily, perhaps, and fare all
the better for t.sNo animal can go with
out salt great while without injury. A
material so cheap and SO necessary ought
to be allowed them in abundance. Ii Is
doubly important to cattle having access
to abundance Of green and succulenl
food. Give your ANIMALS salt.

EARLY FATTENING OF ANIMALS

II is quite as important TO fatten
and market economically the animal
products Of the farm as ii is to raise
them. A pound of beef, or pork, OF
poultry. can be made much easier in
September and October than later in
the season, when larger part of the
rations must go TO keep up the animal
heat. There is no sleight of baud III
laying fat on an animals carcass. Ii
must come out of good honest food IN
the ratiops fed. The temperature in
the latter part of summer and early
autumn is in favor of the best use of
all the fattening articles of food, while
there is enough of green food to sharp
en- the appetite and keep up good di-
gestion. We have found green corn-
stalks, especially sweet corn, an excel
lent article in the sty, to be fed in con-
nection with the corn on the cob and
corn meal and other rations. We have
never seen pork made more rapidly

ing a little when :Aything is left in the
trough. This viii require a little at
tention, but the pigs viii grow so fast
that one can afford TO linger by the sly

fat accumulate. Corn is high this sea

begin to give extra feed in September,
when they mean TO kill in November
The Thanksgiving market is pretty
sure TO be good one, and brings ready
cash. The small potatoes boiled, and
mixed with Indian meal and hot water,
make an excellent feed for turkeys and
other poultry. This favors growth as
well as fattening. The rations of corn
and other grain, unground, may be re-
served To the last few weeks of life.
TURKEYS should have their liberty all
through the extra feeding. Some poul-
trymen shut UP their geese and ducks,
but we doubt the economy of this
method. With good run they will
have greater variety Of food, and |
thrive better with an access TO pas
ture with pond or brook, while they
are receiving full feed for market All
that the fattening animals will cat up

Senator HIPS COnditiOn-An Explana-
ton from a Philadelphia Physician.
BALTIMORE, March 1O.-The Sun this
morning publishes dispatch from Phila-
delphia dated yesterday in regard to the con-
dition of Senator Ben Hill, of Georgia, which
says: IA physician who has been intimate
ly connected with the case said last evening
at the Jefferson Hospital that Senator Hill
has suffered for a long time from cancer in
the tongue Neglect and improper treat
ment in New York caused the case to become
serious. The disease is properly epit he
homa, as cancer on any mucous membrane is
technically called. Gu the Goth of July, Drs.
Gross and Pancoast, of this city, performed an
operation for the removal of the cancer, cut
ting away portion of the under surface of
the tongue on the left side. On September
6 a second operation was performed
when the sublingual gland and part of
the submaxillary gland were cut out Seven
weeks ago to-day there was third operation,
when the rest of the submaxillary and few
lymphatic glands about the neck were cut
away. The successive operations were nee
essary because of cells by which cancerous
structure appeared, but afterward made
themselves manifest. The last operation was
merely a precaution, the glands cut out being
slightly indurated. The patient did not
suffer from the effects of the knife, and DR..
Gross received letter from Senator Hill last
week, saying that the wound was healing
rapidly When the Senator left the hospital
four weeks ago DR.. Gross considered him
cured, only the wound made by the knife
having to heal. The cancerous structure
cannot have become malignant SO suddenly,
and even if it should Mr.. Hill would have, in
all probability, several years of life before
him

THE MISSISSIPPI LEVEES.

Disastrous Brenks-The Water Rushing
Over the Surrounding Country-Dam-
age to Property and Live Stock.
NEW ORLEANS, March 1O.--A special says
that the break at Point Ooupee is a thousand
feet wide. The water is rushing through ten
feet deep, and it is useless to attempt to stop
it. The water will join with that from Nor
gan City. The break has already filled
the swamps and overlooked the lower lands
to Placquemin and Grossette counties, where
the lands equal in richness the river lands.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning the levee
at Pushmatha Landing, Miss, one hundred
and forty miles below here, broke in ten
places at once The water rushed through
in great quantities, flooding the plantations
of Messrs. Jenkins, Jones and Simpson, who
cultivate about one thousand acres A
strong southwest wind was blowing at the
time. A large number of men were asleep in
the camp on the fevee, where they were at
work. Eight men were Watching the banks
when the flood broke through. The men es-
capped with great difficulty They were not
aware of their danger until the water had
swept up to them. ALI vestiges of the camp
were swept away, and their tools were Borne
off by the water. The family of Mr.. Per-
kins was with difficulty rescued. It was ia
ken to Lake Charles Ridge, distance of
seven miles, in dug out. About two hun
dred hands escaped from their cabins and
only saved themselves by wading to dry
places on the levee. The stock was made to
swim out to dry places, being led by persons
in dug outs. The steamer Belle of Memphis
came by ten hours after the break and took
the people off, They were wet, sick and
suffering. Between Pushmatha and Concor-

ed by this break, the Ievee is four feet high
and has base of thirty feet. It has a sand
foundation, and much of it is newly made.
The foundation was Slapped by the backwater,
but if the levee had been attended to at the
proper time it would have stood. The levee
is said to have been cut mile above Frears
Point yesterday to prevent the towns from
being washed away.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 10.-The levee has
broken in ten places and one thousand acres
of land are under water. The stock on the

VIcKsBURG, March 1O.-A most earnest ap-
peal comes from the people on the MISSISSIPPI
pi river 1evees. Boats from landowners,
tenants and laborers alike are begging all
steamers not to stock at Island Chute be-
cause the levee at Elleslie about Ben Lomond
is in a most precarious condition, and saying
that this levee protects a vast extent of coun-
try in Issaquena and Sharkey counties which
would be flooded if it breaks and it is now
only maintained by great labor and diligence
and at great expense.

Jubilee supper nd Presentation.


The Ladies' Aid society of the St John
Street NJ. E. church on Thursday evening
gave free jubilee supper to celebrate the
success of the year that has crowned their
labors. Notwithstanding the rainy night the
church parlors were crowded. A capital
supper was served, and excellent music was
furnished by the Choral orchestra, under Mr.
Vishno, who kindly volunteered their SER
vice. The financial success of the church,
when the discouraging circumstances that
surrounded it but few months ago are con-
sidered, is truly remarkable.
The debt has been greatly reduced, all the
current expenses met, and never for years
| has the church been on SO sound financial
basis. The people and their pastor have
great reason to congratulate each other
Among the pleasant things of the evening
was a presentation to Professor Benjamin
Jepson of a magnificent French clock, with
large bronze figure ornaments representing
Art, Science and Commerce. The pastor,
Rev. c. E. Harris, made the presentation
speech. After he reviewed the state of the
church, the sorrows and discouragements
through which it had passed to its now safe
and happy condition, and, referring to the
deep interest taken by Mr.. Jepson in the
church, and the large share of labor he had
bestowed IN bringing about this satisfactory
result, he said to Professor Jepson: 81 am
happy to present this elegant clock to you, in
behalf of the members of the st. John
street M. E. church, as a token of
the love and esteem in which
they hold you, and in recognition
also of your interest in and faithful labor for
our church. 1t can be said of you, not only
by US are you loved, but by the thousands of
children in our public schools in New Haven
We trust you may be long spared to US. and
to them, the earnest friend, the Christian
Iaborer and the efficient teacher"
The present was a complete surprise to
Prof. Jepson, and when he rose to return
thanks every one was assured how entirely
ignorant he had been of the honor contem-
plated him. After few earnest and appro-
pirate remarks he took his seat, the audience
signifying their pleasure and congratulations
with ungoverned applause. The clock will
be on exhibition to-day in the window of H.

The Mechanics Course.

Lecture by General n. l.. Abbott i'm North
Sheffield HalI-The Sea Coast Defences.
Last evening Ell. L. Abbott delivered lee
ture in the mechanics course at North Shelf
field Hall, his subject being Sea Coast De-
fences" In his opening remarks he said
that there was about 5000 miles of sea coast
that needed defence in case of war. There
was, said the speaker, but little danger from
an attack by land, but fortified harbors are
needed whore vessels can run in to escape
cruisers. Foreign war ships might lay our
cities under contribution from Maine to
Florida 1t is necessary therefore to have
coast defences to protect our large cities.
The facts are that we are under very secure
bonds to maintain peace without better meth
DDS of protection. At the present time the
increase of the navy is under consideration
by Congress. It is my purpose to consider
this evening the best method for coast de-
Tense. The speaker then referred to the
former ornaments of the navy eighty years
ago, and proceeding spoke of the gun case
system introduced by a Frenchman at the
beginning of the last century. The attack
of navy on q land battery under these cir
cumstances was extremely doubtful. This
in 1843 screw propeller war vessels were in
trodueed and difficulty apparent in sailing
vessels was overcome. Then came the i'm
provement of guns, among them the Rod
man, -" one of the most powerful in the world
at the time, and at the beginning of the war
in 1861 we stood second to none in guns Or
Notifications.
At this point several views of sea coast de-
fences were thrown upon canvas.
After showing stone forts the lecturer ex-
hibited earthworks which were adapted for
immediate use.
A representation of a European war vessel
was also exhibited, and then followed an ex-
PLANTATION of the torpedo service, which is
with General Abbott favorite method of
defense on our sea coast. Coupled with this
service the speaker said should be the parts
from which the torpedoes could be success
fully operated. The general here exhibited
the plan of operating torpedo boats and the
methods of Blowing up vessels, which was
listened to with much interest by the large
audience in attendance. When General
Abbott concluded he was greeted with loud
cheers

Why does everybody take a spring medi-
cine? For three good reasons, viz BE
cause one bottle of blood-purifier taken at
this season will do more good than two at
any other. II-Because the blood is in a
more impure condition that at any other sea-
son. III-Because the system is SO weak
ened by this impure state of the blood that it
has not sufficient vitality to Withstand the
facilitating effects. of spring weather. Hence,
by common consent, people seek relief in
medicine. The combination of Hoods Sar-
saparilla, commends it to our judgment as a
good spring medicine and blood purifier.
Such things as Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock,
Mandrake, &C., compounded by competent
druggists like Messrs. Hood & Co., warrant
US in suggesting that all in need of a medi-
cine of this kind give Hoods Sarsaparilla a
