AT TOLEDO.


TOLEDO, o., Feb. II, $50 p. m.-Since
the last report, at noon to-day, water has
risen steadily, and at 8 p. m. marks twenty
inches higher than the highest point in
1881, and rising at the rate of three inches
per hour. The gorge below the city
extends two miles below
the Pennsylvania railroad bridge, and is
piled up to a height of twelve to eight
cen feet, preventing the escape of water.
The gorge above the city is still firm. In
addition to the westerly span of Cherry
street wagon bridge and the eastern and
westerly trestles of the Lake Erie &
Western railway bridge, the two central
spans of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge
have been carried away with a portion of
the new draw and two temporary spans
| of the Union railroad bridge.
The water is now above the floor
of the Lake Shore railroad bridge, but the
structure stands firm. The middle ground
from the union depot to the Lake Shore
bridge is covered with water to the depth
of six to eight feet, resting upon which,
and extending across the river is vast
field of broken ice and seven feet of water
on the floor of the Salonia house and union
depot. Most of the rolling stock has been
removed from the depot, and the middle
ground of the gas works is flooded with
but twenty-four hours supply to depend
on. The flats in the upper por-
ton of the city are inundated.
1t is probable that in 800
houses which are OCCUPIED by the poorer
classes, the water stands two to five feet
deep. 1t is estimated that at least 100 of
these are one-story buildings, from which
the families have been obliged to fee.
Considerable suffering must ensue. The
losses by the food have been materially
lessened by precautionary measures taken
by merchants and others who suffered
severely two years ago. They removed
their goods several days since.
Everything possible was done to
guard against loss, the dockage
and buildings along the river front were
damaged somewhat. There is no serious
damage to shipping in the harbor yet re-
ported Hy Miller, employed on Lincoln
bridge, was carried down the river on a
cake of ice,and made the passage from
Union bridge to Cherry5street bridge, a
distance of mile, where he was rescued
from his perilous position. From up river
points late dispatches state that the water
is rising raploIy, aI ferfysourg IL Iose
three feet in four hours, and at
o'clock it was rising foot an hour
Defiance reports the water three inches
higher than ever before, and still rising.
Several gorges still exist between here and
Defiance, all of which, and water held by
them, are still to come. Weather fair anu
freezing.

superstitions Regarding whistiing.
Popular Science.

Captain Burton tells US how the Arabs dis
like 10 hear person whistle, called by them
el sifr. Some maintain that the wlIstlers
mouth is not to be purified for forty days,
while according tothe explanations of Others
Satan touching mans body causes him TO
produce what they consider an offensive
sound. The natives of the Tonga Islands,
Polynesia, hold IL TO be wrong TO whistle, as
this act Is thought to be disrespectful TO God.
In Iceland the villagers have the same objec.
tions 10 whistling, aud so far do they carry
their superstitIous dread Of 1t that "if one
swings about him stick, whip, wand, or
aught else that makes whistling sound, he
drives from him the Holy Ghost" while the
Icelanders who consider themselves free from
superstitions, cautiously give the advice:
"Do IL not; for vino knoweth what Is in the
air?" However eccentric these phases of
superstition may appear TO us, yet 1t must
not be forgotten that very similar notions
prevail at the present day in this country. A
correspondent of "Notes and Queries, for
instance, relates how one day, after attempt
Ing in vain to get his dog to obey orders to
come into the house, his wife tried TO coax IL
by whistling, when she was suddenly inter
rupted by a servant, Roman Catholic, who
exclaimed 10 the most plteous accents: "If
you please, ma'am, don't whistle-every time
a woman whistles the heart of the Blessed
Virgin bleeds" In some districts of North
Germany the villagers say that If one whistles
In the evening Ii makes the angels weep.

Position In Sleep.

A writer to the Christian at Work, insists
that position in sleep Is of great importance.
He says:
The food passes from the stomach at the
right side, hence its passage is facilitated by
going 10 sleep OH the right side. Water and
other fluids flow equally on level, and 1t
requires less power to propel them on level
than upward.
The heart propels the blood to every part
OF the body Of each successive beat, and IL Is
easy to see that If the body Is placed In q
horizontal position the blood will be sent to
the various parts Of the system with greater
ease, with loss expenditure of power, and
more perfectly than II one portion Of the
body were elevated above horizontal line.
If one portion of the body is too low, the
blood does not return as readily as 1t Is car
ried thIther; hence there is an accumulation
and distention, and pain follows:
If person goes TO sleep with the head
but little lower than the body, be will
either soon wake up, or he will die with

The savage uses log of wood or bunch
Of leaves, civilized man pillow, and II this
pillow IL too thick, raising the head too high,
there Is not blood enough carried to the
brain; and as the brain is nourished and in
vigoraied by the nutriment 1t receives from
the blood during sleep, Is not fed sufficient
ly, and the result is unqu.et sleep during the
night, a waking up in WEAKNESS, without re-
freshment, 10 be followed by a day Of dros-
siness aud discomfort, aud general inactivity

Presiden. of the Republic Of Honduras

illustrated Correspondence NeaCNorti- Vest.
Marco Aurelio Soto, President Of Hondu-
ras, who Is now visiting the United States,
was born at Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in 1916,
and was educated at the Guatemala Umiver-
sity, from which he graduated with high
honors. He has been close student, and
has always taken a great interest in public
affairs.
Not long after graduation be was honored
with the appointment Of Sub.Secrctary of
the Interior, by President Barrios, and in
this capacity he vastly improved the coudi.
ton OF the educational institutions of the
country.
President Soto is, without doubt. The most
popular man in the Republic of Honduras;
his election to the presidency having been
accomplished when affairs at Honduras were
sadly demoralized, and when four rival pres
idents were contendng for The supreme con-
troll.
From the chaos which confronted him
upon taking the chair of Office, President
Soto has brought order, peace and prosperity;
the wonderful resources of tie country have
been developed with extraordinary results,
and the postal, telegraphic and educational
institutions Of the country have prospered
under his keen and careful supervision.
1t is o sufficient evidence of his popularity
to state that the Congress of Honduras re-
Gently appropriated 100000 to defray the
expenses of six months visit through Amer.
lea and Europe, for the purpose Of invesLi-
eating the management Of the various public
Institutions.
He was first elected TO the Presidency in
1876, and again in 1880. The probabilities
are that he will be elected again next year.
The credit of Honduras is, to-day, better
than that Of any of the South American
countries, and the Honduran dollar Is worth
more than its face value in U. S. money.
President Soto is highly educated gentle
man and bears the degree ofL.L.D.
His wife and two little daughters, the Min
lister of Public Instruction and several cti-
zens from Honduras will accompany him,
and his visit to this country is a matter Of
much interest, especially to the Central
American gentlemen residing in New York,
who have made preparations for his reccp-
ton.

THE JERSEY cow.
Geo. Hazard In "oI,io State Journal"

Her pre-emlnent utility Is now universal
ly admitted. In some few circles, they are
regarded as the pets of fortune, lovely little
ornaments for tho lawn, giving small guam
tity of very rich milk, cream and butter for
those wealthy enough to afford such extra
vagance.
They are small we admit, beautiful we
grant; gentle and grateful, they command
respect. So gentle are they that the most
timid woman can manage them. Fitness for
the work Is the sail In all, oil the rest is tin
sell" The business Of a Jersey COW is to con-
vert grass and grain into butter. She is not
bred for the shambles, TO be cut up and eat
en-; she IL too valuable as butter producer
for that.
She may be the rich mans luxury; but far
more she II the poor mans necessity, the
farmers best help. For we hold that the Jer-
sey Is the most profitable Of butter cows
yields more butter for her size and the feed
consumed-than any other breed. Few Of
them weigh more than 800 pounds, and yet
IL Is no unconmon thing for them to make
ITDiu DDN w INV pSAhAS vi ih n year
Her milk is richer than that Of any other
breed, six quarts commonly producing
pound of butter. There is less water In the
milk 10 manage. Her butter is better in
color, hrmer in texture, better flavor and
commands higher price. She comes into
profit early, her first calf being dropped
when she Is twenty months old or less, and
II Is not uncommon for these heifers TO make
from eight 10 ten pounds Of butter per
week.
We hear of the cow for all purposes but
she is an idea yet-has not dropped her first
calf In our times the farmer Is obliged 10
choose In a particular line; 10 choose the
animal that will best suit his circumstances,
for beef, or milk, or butter, or cheese, and he
must choose his COW accordingly. This will
determine his success or failure. If he de-
cides for butter, there Is no COW that will |
suit him so well as the Jersey; for she Is the |
only one that has been persstently bred |
for butter only, and che is the result of In |
breeding for this result for hundreds of years. |
Her very structure shows this. When they |
arc fattened and butchered they show by the
fatty deposit how nature puts all her force
into the interior, so that the butter-produciDg
organs are supplied with all the needful heat
and nourishment for this wonderful process.
II Is hard TO believe that SIS, 900 was paid
for Jersey calf only five months old. can
not tell just what a circle of wealthy men
may do 10 crafty taste or ambition, nor how
far bankers, brokers and grocers may 60 in
paying these prices; bnt Of one thing | AIN
sure, that an enterprising class of wealthy
men are doing vast amount of good to the
dairy interests Of our country. In the long
run the farmer will be the richer. Good
stock will be cheaper when there is moro of
