A water famine is threatened in st.
Louis. Only "a feet of water remain in
the reservoir by which q large portion of
the city is supplied for drinking purposes,
and the pumping capacity of the works is
not equal to the requil ements of the pre-
sent warm weather. In consequence of a
communication from the board of public
improvements the mayor yesterday issued
a proclamation stopping all street sprink
ling, the washing of sidewalks and the use
of hand hose.
Washouts occurred on Monday along the
Chicago and Northwestern line in Wiscon
sin. and on the Milwaukee, Lake Shore
and Western tracks near Appleton, and Oh
the Wisconsin Central road at Theresa.
The telegraph lines everywhere ale in bad
condition The Milwaukee river has risen
more than four feet above the danger line,
wholesale stores are flooded in many
places, and lumber is floating from the
yards near the mouth of the river. At
Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, the storm
caused the destl uctiOn of several build
ings.
A tornado demorslized ths house OF
Eugene Henry, near Eaton Rapids, Mich.
on Monday. Mr.. Henry was seriously
injured, and will probably die. Three OF
his children were killed, and his wife sus.
tained severe injuries. but may recover.

4 curious bet which was made by two
New Yorkers one day this week, illus.
tratee, as we'll as possible, the point which
has been reached in dressing at the
Branch. During the afternoon concert At
the West End, the sou Of wealthy banker
appeared in q curious combination of
clothing which attracted attention from
everyone. Not to be outdOne in this re-
spect, another young fellow Immediately
repaired to his room, and shortly after
wards emerged in an entirely different
suit. The coat was seal brown, with
large green collar trimmed with braid full
two inches wide, while the trousers were
"polk dot" but SO large we're the 'dots''
that they might easily be mistaken for
saucers. His appearance created general
laugh among the people assembled on the
varanda, and he Indignantly asked one Of
his friends to explain the cause of it. In
reply the young man offered to bet fifty
dollars that he dared not enter the dining
room that evening in such dress. The
bet was made, and, as it soon became
noised about, everybody was looking fol
him during the dinner hour.
The doors of the dining room bad hardly
opened when he made his appearance
looking somewhat nervous and shsepist,
but nevertheless dressed in the same suit
After gazing anxiOusly around the room
as if trying to gather courage for a fna
effort, he walked boldly down the room
AMI took his accustomed seat in the rear
1t was indeed victory over the crowd
and as he walked from the room two OF
three people applauded him.

FEMININE DEFORMITY.-The extraordin-

the general opinion of what is desirable in
female form, may go far to prove that the
principle of evolution is balanced by that Of
retrogression. Judging of the opinion of
the ancient Greeks as expressed in their
sculpture, modern, ideal, well-dressed
young lady, probably by natures intention
