Those Earthquake Shocks.

The earthquakes II Sunday and Mon
day, though not very destructiv were
remarkable because of the wide-separ-
ated points on the earth's surface which
were nearly simultaneously affected.
On Sunday evening there was a severe
shock at Agram, and on the same day
the shaking of the earth which has re-
Gently disturbed the inhabitants of Muir
cia was renewed. On Monday afternoon
shocks were felt in New Hampshire, Hi
nois, Michigan and Indiana. The near
coincidence in time of these various
shocks naturally suggests that they were
the result of some common cause. This
idea is strengthened by the fact that all
the shocks, both in Europe and in this
country, were felt in regions where
earthquakes are not infrequent. A year
seldom passes in which one or more
earthquake shocks are not felt in the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys and the
neighborhood of the great lakes, and in
the mountainous portion of New Eng
land. To be sure, these shocks seldom
do any damage, though, as all who have
read descriptions of the earthquakes of
1911 and 1912 in the Mississippi valley
know, they nre not, always destitute of
very destructive effects, at least in that
part of the country. In view Of the ap-
parent connection in origin of the recent
earthquakes, it is very interesting to re-
call that a remarkable earthquake Oc-

ity was aroused by the shalungs that
western Europe and Iceland were then
experiencing

The Cont.

On the anniversary of his late birthday
Gen. James Watson Webb remarked to
visitor that, having had the gout for
fifty-nine years, he had become quite
accustomed to managing it. Describing
his occasional twinges, he said they re-
minded him of the Frenchman's desCrip-
ton of the difference between rheuma-
tism, infammatOry rheumatism, and
gout. He said:
Put your foot in wise and squeeze
it as hard as you can; that's rheumatism.
Give it one more squeeze, with the ald
of friend: that's infammatory rheuma-
tism. But send out into the street and
bring in some strong fellows to put on
the screws still harder; that's the gout. "

A Passport.

1t is related of Gustave Dore that
many years ago, while on a tour in
Switzerland, he happened to lose his
passport Arriving at Lucerne, he asked
to be allowed to speak to the Mayor, to
whom he gave his name.
'You say that you are NJ. Gustave
Dore," replied the Mayor, land l be-
Iieve you ; but, he added, producing a
pencil and a piece of paper, you can
easily prove it. %
Dore looked round him and perceived
some women selling potatoes IN the
street. With few touches, he cleverly
reproduced the hOmely scene, and, ap-
pending his name to his sketch, pre-
sented it to the Mayor.
"Your passport is perfectly in order, "
remarked the official, "but you must
allow me to keep it as a souvenir, and to
offer you in return one in the ordinary
form"

A SnOw-BOund Party.

A Vermont letter says: Something
like the good, old fashioned experience
of being snow-bound recently happened
to party of friends who had assembled
to celebrate the tenth anniversary of
marriage of a Cambridge couple. The
company was a large one, composed OF
old and young, several coming in sleighs
from the adjoining towns During the
afternoon the snow began to fall thickly,
driven 10y fierce wind. By nightfall
the roads were deeply drifted, and the
wind blew a perfect gale.
What was to be done? Several of the
guests started out with their sleighs, but
most of them returned, saying that the
roads were impossible and the storm so
binding that the horses could not keep
the trail.
The result was that thirty-four guests
stayed III the little house all the night,
some sleeping ON the beds and lounges,
and some camping out without ceremony
on the floor. Next morning the world
was buried deep in snow, but, after
breakfast, as everything had been eaten
up by the small army of guests, it was
found necessary to do something, so the
men and boys laid hands on all the shov-
els and brooms and pieces of board they
could find, and proceeded to make tun-
mel out to the road. Then the teams
were all hitched up, and presently
long, slow-moving but merry line of
road breakers went winding across the
wide desolation of snow. 1t must have
been pretty expensive and uncomforta-
bic anniversary for the ten-years' couple,
but then it wasn't their fault, at least,
and they had the satisfaction of knowing
that all these good people were rejoicing
in the thought that they had made them
happy. I do not doubt though that they
and all other married couples, liable to
the same experience, will thank me for
the suggestion to each and every ami
versary guest, that they bring Goldfish
apiece and put pound of butter into
the sleigh

A Boiled Dinner.

The oId-fashioned Now England bev-
eraga cider was mentioned, and Mr..
Whittier stated that he had once derived
much benefit when unwell, ''when moth
ing tasted good, - from the use of cider.
Huntington suggested that without cider
we should not have vinegar.
Well" said Whittier, vinegar is
not of much use, after all. " " Except, !"
replied Huntington, to eat on cabbage
and cucumbers. - "Neither of which
are fit to be eaten, replied the poet. 81
think it would be a good idea to start
prohibition party on those two articles.
As for cabbage, it is not fit to be eaten !;
if you cook it in the house you have got
to burn your house down afterward to
get rid OF the smell it is certainly the
most diabOlical smell that was ever in
vented" and Whittier, who was sitting
near the open stove CRATE, upon the top
of which he had deposited his tall hat,
folded his hands, and laughed hearty,
silent laugh.
"What do you think of onions, Mr..
Whittier ?" asked 1.
"Well," " he replied, "onions are not
quite so bad, for you can get rid of the
smell of those in two or three days. p"
Then, " said Huntington, you would
not approve of the old-fashioned boiled
dinner ?' "No, [ think that is detest-
able dish. [ remember that my father
used to have it, in which cabbage, on
ions, beef, potatoes, turnips and carrots
were all boiled up together and turned
out into great dish all in heap, with
great, greasy piece of meat in the
middle. [ think that is the reason why
the present generation is not so strong
rs the former 1t is owing to the way
the parents lived, eating so much pork
and potatoes. Our last war showed that.

the men recruited in the cities-Port'

Storms at Sea.

The storm which struck the Western
and Northwestern coasts of the British
Isles on Thursday night and penetrated
far inland was, it appears, of the most
terrific description. AT sea vessels were
wrecked and driven ashore, and on land
houses were unroofed, chimneys were
blown down, trees were uprOOted, and
general destruction was wrought. To
add to the terrOrs of the gale, some of
the rivers overfowed their banks. This
recalls the "Great Storm, as it is pre-
eminently called. which ragged over the
British Isles IN November, 1903, and Ill
which twelve men-Of-war fOundered, the
Eddystone Lighthouse was destroyed,
damage amounting to ten million dollars
was done in London, and vast destruc-
ton was wrought, with much loss OF
life, throughout England. Great Britain
has not infrequently suffered from de
structive gales of this kind, several of
which. besides that of 1903, have be
come historic. Both last fall and III the
fall of 1881 great storms ragged on the
British coasts. If we are to believe Prof.
Wiggins, the Canadian storm prophet,

More Than They Asked For.

The Wings of New York and Boston,
wishing to show their appreciation of Mr..
Webster, contributed q large sum to ena-
BILE him to purchase a suitable residence
at Washington and to live there during
the negotiation with Lord AshburtOn III
good stvle. He selected a house facing
the northeastern corner of Lafayette
Square, which had been built by Thomas
Swami, who had been engaged in mer-
camille pursuits at Alexandria and at
Washington, and whose son had been IN
recent years Governor of Maryland and
a Representative in Congress from Balti-
more Moving into this house, Mr.. Web
ster lived in becoming style, entertaining
nearly all of the Senators and many OF
the Representatives. He was not able,
however, to pay for the house, which fell
into the hands of William w. CorcOran,
the banker-benefactor of Washington,
who has since resided there, although he
has greatly enlarged and improved it.
Soon after Mr. Webst had removed
into his new house, Messrs. Moses H.
GrinneIl, Richard NJ. Blatchford and
Simeon Draper, of New York, were one
day his guests at dinner. While linger-
ing at table over the raisins and Ma
diera, Mr.. Grinnell said: 81 have a
great favor to ask you, Mr.. Webster.
''YOu can ask no favor which Will not he
promptly granted" was the reply.
"Wel," continued Mr. Grinnell, "Mr.
Washington Irving finds it necessary to
have access to the Spanish archives III
completing his life of Columbus, and
will soon leave for Spain. As the consul
late at Madrid is vacant, Blatchford, and
myself. without Mr.. Irving's knowledge,
have determined to ask you to appoint
him "
Mr.. Webster, after quite a pause, in
quired: "Do / understand you, Mr..
GrinnelI, as asking the appointment of
Washington Irving as Consul to Madrid?'
Mr.. Grinnell said they had determined
to make the request, and he hoped that
Mr.. Webster would grant it. Mr. Web
ster listened attentively, then, straighten-
ing himself in his chair. said, in his deep,
bass voice: "Whv not Minister Pleni-
potentiary to Spain, sir?" This was
more than the New Workers had thought
Of asking for, and they did not say a
word. The sitting at table was pro-
longed for some little time, hut no further
allusiOn was made to it. The next dav
the appointment of Mr.. Irving as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tlary was announced. He went to Spain
and remained there as Minister for sew
eral years.
