characteristics of a Cyclone.
Popular Science Monthly.

All storms, of any magnitude, that
visit the United States, except the
tropical hurricanes which sometimes
touch the southern coasts, have a com
mon origin in or near the Rocky
Mountains. Here the first barometic
depression is felt, preceded by ris-
ing temperature, caused by the warm
winds moving northward over the
sun-heated sands of Arizona, New
Mexico and Western Texas. Those
warm, rarefied currents of air are met
by cooler currents passing over the
snow clads peaks of the north; a cy-
clone storm is formed, usually small
at first, which begins its journey east
ward, gradually developing in energy
and area as it goes. After leaving the
mountain ranges, there is but little
precipitation for the first few hun
dred miles; as it advances, it usually
widens from north to south, but the
line of travel of the storm can
be readily predicted by the Signal Ser
vice observers and its location at any
fixed by the lowest reported reading
of the barometer.

About People Who Use Tobacco.

A tobacconist furnishes the follow
ing as the result of observation Of his
customers to the Pail Mall Gazette:
An even-tempered, quiet man never
goes to an extreme in choosing a to-
bacco; a nervous man wants some
thing strong and furious; mild man
something that smokes and nothing
more. There is a great deal in the
way men handle their cigars. If
man smokes his cigar only enough to
keep it lighted, and relishes taking It
from between his lips to cast curl of
blue smoke into the air, set him down
as easy-going. He has keen percep-
tlons and delicate sensibilties. He
will not create trouble, but is apt to
see it out when it is once begun. Be-
ware of the man who never releases
the cigar from the grip of his teeth,
and is Indifferent whether it burns or
dies. He is cool, calculating, and ex-
acting. He is seldom energetic physi-
cally, but lives easily off of those who
perform the labor. A man who smokes
a bit, rests a bit, and fumbles the ci-
gar more or less is apt to be easily af-
fected by circumstances. If the cigar
goes out frequently the man has a
whole souled disposition, is devil
may-care sort of fellow, with lively
brain and glib tongue. and gener
ally fine fund of anecdotes. To hold
half the cigar in the mouth and smoke
lndifferently is a lazy mans habit.
They are generally of little force, and
their characters are not of the highest
strata. A nervous man, or one under
exciting influences, fumbles his cigar
a great deal. He is a kind of popin-
jay among men. Holding the cigar
constantly between the teeth, chewing
it occasionally, and not caring wheth-
er or not it has been lighted at all,
are characteristics of men with the
tenacity Of bulldogs. They never for
get anything, and neverrelease a hold.
The fop stands his cigar on end, and
an inexperienced smoker either points
it straight ahead or almost at right
angles with his course

Mormon statistics are difficult to OBJ
tain, but Mrs. Paddock is excellent
authority for the statement that more
poiygamy marriages occurred in 1880
than in any year since the formation
of the sect. What significant fact?
AS people we have been content to
close our eyes to the hideous wrong,
and, because 1t was not brought to
our daily notice, believe that it was
dying out. 1t is an unquestionable
truth that the Mormons are to-day
more active, more united, more nu-
merous and more powerful than they
have ever been before. Is it wonder
full that they wax defiant when the
United States Government has seemed
to them powerless from the failure of
the puny efforts it has put forth to
compel them TO observe our national
laws? So radical wrong requ res a
radical remedy, and we do not doubt
that the Government would receive al
most unanimous support if it applied
to the Territory of Utah temporary
form of absolute government, which
would render it impossible for Nor
mon offenders to escape punishment
on mere legal technicalities. The peo-
pie will look to the coming session of
Congress for some sharp and decisive
legislation which shall put an end for
ever to the growing power of Nor
monism, and perhaps meet out pun
ishment for the hundreds of past muir
ders which have gone so long un-
avenged. The Modern Age.

What Gloyes are TO a Woman.

a critical observer makes this sen
sible remark: A woman's glove is
to her what vest is to man" Pre-
cisely. When a man is agitated or
perplexed he at once attacks his vest
buttons, thus giving occasion for a
certain very expressive slang phrase.
A woman's vest does not admit of this
sort of pulling down" but her glove
is always a source OF inspiration and
refuge from any embarrassment. She
smooths on her fingers, rearranges the
buttons, drags out the wrinkles, looks
critically at the fit, aud does dozen
little things with her glove that be-
tray or allay nervousness and quite

Hard-WOrked Bellies.

The life of a belle, writes a cores
pondent at White Sui phur Springs, is
one of continuous hard labor, with
little compensation, and still, unlike
the telegraphers they do not strike.
After late breakfast she begins her
series of engagements, divided by the
hours, and in press of business by the
half hour. At II a. m. she gives A an
hour on the lawn; at IL she has B for
half the morning german and G for
the other half; at l p. m. d has his
hour for a promenade in the great
parlor; E takes her to dinner, + has
dessert with her; after dinner G has
his chance at tenpins; H then takes
her to ride. Following the tide she
takes tea, then comes the german
again; then supper, and then to bed
at 2 a. m. So, from 10 in the morn
ing until 2 next morning she is on a
continual strain, and a girl will have
engagements filling her whole time
in this way for two weeks ahead. Of
course only few reach this pinnacle
Of success, but some do. During a
day a girl who is a success will dance
ten miles and talk ten hours. This is
a great matrimonial market. Here
