1t is comforting to be assured that our
/ lake region is in a measure exempt from
attack by destructive cyclones Profes-
sor Elisha Gray, the famous electrician,
wFose theory is that the terrific force ofa
cyclone is due to the fact that the phen-
emenon is one Of electricity rather than
ordinary atmospheric disturbance-a
| theory which is no doubt correct thinks
that large bodies of water, such as Lake
! Michigan, have a neutralizing effect
| which modify the cyclonic conditions,
and that therefore the regions immedi-
ately bordering on great bodies of water
are IN no danger of these visitations.
| A 3 REMARKABLE FAMILY.-Five
brothers and FIVE sisters, natives of New
York County, Me-. their family name
being NOVEL;, had reunion in Boston
on Wednesday with their sons and their
daughters and their brothers-in-law and
sisters-ifl-law, and all to the number of
twenty-five persons. Their father died
at the age of72, and their mother a few
years later, at the age of 79, and these
have been the only deaths of blood rela-
tives in the family for more than seventy
two years. The combined ages of the ten
brothers and sisters is now 677 years, the
oldest being 78 years of age.
PATENT CHEEsE.-Not content with
making coffee out of date stones, the in
ventive genius of the age promises to
produce us cheese which has never seen
the inside of a dairy. For long time
past it appears the Chinese aud Japanese
| have INDUCED; with much satisfaction,
in very remarkable kind of bean which
grows in that region; but some energetic
European has found that this bean, ow-
ing to the greasy matter and the albu-
men which If contains, can be worked up
| into an excellent cheese. The bean is,
therefore, to be imported into the south
of France, and, if it thriyes, we are prom
ised cheese which will rank with Moth
ing less than the very best Parmesan.-

ANECDoTE OF PHGBE CARY.-Mr. La
boyteaux in the Times-Star relates good
anecdote of Miss Phoebe Cary, the author
ess when young lady:
Mr.. Jones once remarked that the Cary
sisters were fond of society, but by no
means could they be called society wom-
en-. Mr. Jones and [ were fond of com.
pany also, and many an evening found
us at the old homestead. These visits
were pleasant and profitable to us, that is
to Mr.. Jones anc myself. On one occa.
sion when conversation began to flag, as
it will sometimes in the best of CON-
pany, Mr.. Jones suddenly assumed a
far-away look, as though he had forgot
ten something that ought to have been
remembered. 1t seemed to strike him at
last, and reaching for the candle and ap-
propriating the melted tallow about the
wick, then Sand there, co0lly and
deliberately proceeded to anoint his nose.
Icaled Phnbe's attention to the matter,
and remarked that Mr.. Jones nose
must be chapped. go no." she re-

AN ESTHETIC DEPARTMENT. "A
Wa hington wri er says: Crushed straw
berry" is the very popular color. 1t bas
taken the place of brick red and candle
wears something in the new hue. The
aesthetic Department Of Justice deter
mined not to get left on the Crushed
strawberry" Accordingly when the
fashion papers announced its appear
ance, the Chief Clerk of the tints, Shades
and Colcrs, Bureau of the Department Of
Justice, was summoned before Brewster
and told to purchase a quantity of the
color and use it somewhere The Chief
Clerk procured keg Of crushed straw
berry" raint, at great expense, and the
next day had a row OF consumptive-lOok-
ing trees in Brewster Park, adjoining
the Justice building, painted from
the ground to the boughs. The trees
may not be very ornamental in their
garb of Crushed straw berry," but they
are useful, for I saw young lady yes
terday with severel dress goods samples
matching them with the national SAM
pie of the new shade on the Brewsterian
trees.
"Gath," in the New York Tribune
thus describes an individual who is just
now notorious Donovan Rossa, the
dynamite Irishman, as be appeared in
the recent Philadelphia convention:
took my first look at O'DonOvan-
KOSSa. his S6uIeIndu WAS vi uIdTkGu
appearance, better dressed than most Of
the convention, well-kneaded, broad,
but not heavy, elastic treading man, OF a
pale "white-Iivered'' skin, and rather
worried, nervous temperament, and ap-
parently neglected by the gathering.
He was not much observed when he
came in, and not at all applauded. He
wore nearly white spring overcoat and
black cloth suit. He.waS attended by
large dark, giant-looking man. Mr..
Rosa, whose real name is said to be
O'Donovan, had not one of the candid,
CHEEKY, self-easy faces of nearly all the
regular delegates. Conspiracy has left
it's wrinkles and twitches. His brown
! hair is brushed back from his temples;
his eyes seem to be hollow and in pain;
the Irish expression came and then
went at various times. His hair is thin
ming, yet but little gray. Reddish brown
mustuche and goatee inclose not very
shapely mouth. [ am told that this man
was chained for years to pillar in Dart
moor Prison, and made to kneel forward
