Shower Of Solid Matter.

We were informed yesterday of the
occurrence ut Glen Grey, about twelve
miles from Queenstown, of a phenOm-
mon which. while it lasted, nearly ter
rified the white and native population
out of their wits. The afternoon of
Wednesday a thick shower of matter,
presenting a white. sulphurous appear
ance, fell in the valley in which this VIII
lage is situated, and, passing right over
it from east to west, covered the entire
surface of the country with marble
sized balls of an ashy p~aleness. which
orumbled into powder at the slightest
touch. The shower was confined to
one narrow streak. and while it lasted,
we are told, the surrounding atmosphere
remained unchanged and clear as it
had been before. Great noises accom-
panied the shower, and so frightened
the people working in the fields, who at
first were under the impression that it
was a descent of fire-the white sub
stance glistening in the sun-that on
perceiving it they fed into their houses
for shelter. No damage vas caused by
what fell, and upon examination of the
substance afterward it was found to be
perfectly harmless. At first the little
balls were soft and pulpy, but they
gradually became dry and pulverized,
crumbling at the touch. We have be-
fore us a piece of earth on which n of
Them fell, and the mark left behind re-
sembles a splash of lime-wash or SINH
lar matter. 1t does not smell of sui

Health and Success.

A sound body has more to do with
success in life than most persons rear
iZe. There are instances where men il
continued ill-Eealth have achieved en-
inence. but this is not the rule. Alex
ander Stephens, of Georgia. and Thsd-
deus Stevens. of this State. our old
commoner, were considered remarkable
men, because, despite ill-health, they
impressed themselves on the Nation.
There are other cases in distant lands
enough to prove the rule. We do not,
of course, hear of the many failures in
life resulting from ill-health. The fall
urcs, either in speculation or life, are
not paraded. But there are examples
where mOmentary spasms OF lll-health
have clOuded the minds of men of gen.
Jus, and deranged their plans. NapO-
leon lost one Of his great battles be-
cause of a tit of indigestion. And
when the mind must carry the ailments
of a diseased body, and yet do its legit-
innate work, it evidently must perform
double duty. 1t a not always do this
and succeed. Hence a healthy body has
much to do with success in life.
One of the first considerations then
in family training is that which relates
to health, and this is the more impOr.

chiId's life is spent in close school.

intelligently and regularly impaired.
The play-cure for children is far better

cheers the mind. gives healthy tone to
the thought and makes the blood pure

"a all work is not. "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" is q true
adage. Still some work is needed for
its disciplinary influence, and to make
firm the muscles and nerves. This
work should be, so far as possible. out
Of doors, But if this can O be given,
q saw and buck for wood in the cellar
is better than no work at all.
Another element favorable to good
health is pure air when sleeping. Ii
children are accustomed to ventilated
rooms, they will ultimately enjoy them.
and will feel oppressedi in an unventilated
room. And they will sleep sOundly and
BEAUTIFULLY when the cold air of winter
is pouring in-so it does not blow on
them. Sleep under such conditions is
not affected by troubled dreams. o is
it followed by nervous headache.
Healthful sleep is dreamless. And this
supposes pure air and not too much
heat. A cold room is better than an
Overheated room. But one that is suf-
ficiently comfortable for preparations
for retiring to be made without a chill
is best. Children thus reared will grow
up healthfuily: and this good health,
with intelligent, practical education
and self-reliance. will be of more value
than thousands of unearned capital

Paying III Traitor.

Men use treachery and despise the
traitor. Their moral sense revOlts
against the means which their craving
for success ~persuadeS them to Use. The
fact shows that faith in the mOralist's
maxim. Nothing is expedient which is
dishOnOrable," is not strong enough to
remove this moral contradiction. And
40 the world, which makes success a
duty. will continue to pay and despise
the traitor.
The late Count de Chambord's birth
occurred after the assassination of his
father, the Duke de Berri. in 1920. His
mother, 4 woman of great courage and
force of characteristic offered to lead
the royal troops against the revOlu.
tiOnists of lS30IplOtted to seat him On
the French throne, as the only legiti-
mate Bourbon.
In 1882 she landed near Marseilles
and appealed to the French Legitimists
to rise against Louis Philippe. The ap-
peal fell upon deaf ears, and the Ouch
ess was obliged to hide herself. One OF
her suite. named Deutz. agreed to sell
to the Government for fifty thousand
francs the secret of her hiding-place.
n betrayed Duchess was arrested ana
imprisoned.
To NJ. Older, the Secretary of the
Minister of the Interior, vas assigned
the disagreeable duty of paying the
traitor. At the appointed hour, Didier
called his son into the office. and said:
look well now at what passes. and
never forget it. You will learn what a
scoundrel is. and the method of paying
him."
The Secretary spoke to a messenger,
and DeutZ. the traitor, was brought in.
NJ. Didier stood behind his desk. on
which were placed two packages, each
containing twenty-five thousand francs.
AS Deutz approached the desk. the Sec
rotary made a sign to him to stop.
Then, with 4 pair of tOngs, he picked up
the PACKAGES, and dropping them into
the open hands of the traitor. pointed
to the dOOr.-lonth'S Companion.

The husband looked at the coins in
amazement, and then said:
why. my dear. the money is no
good. There is nothing here but lead
quarters and dimes with holes in 'em.
Here's a quarter with Il hole in it. and
the hole is bigger than the quarter.
What ~confounded rascal palmed that

The Peril Of Winter Fishing.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin pro-
nounces the great loss of fishing vessels
during the past season "a horror of the
sea even greater than the wreck of the
City of Columbus" and says there is
''nO need of the annual sacrifice of life
and property which is now made" 1t
furthermore declares that lit is NOR
hazardous to engage in Georges Banks
fishing than to work in a powder-mill."
The high rank of the Bulletin as q
commercial newspaper gives much
weight to its words on this sub
ject, and the remedy it proposes de-
serves earnest consideration. 1t is bet
ter to "abolish winter fishing on
Georges" than to have a yearly loss OF
more than one hundred lives. but it sug-
gests that the use of deeper vessels with
an improved outfit would remove much
of the peril Ct the industry. The city OF
Gloucester is chiefly interested in the
winter-fshing. and of its fleet sent out
in 1888 seventeen vessels and two hun
dred and nine fishermen never came
back. The record for 1884 may
be still more terrible. for already two
vessels are known TO be lost and seven
more are supposed to be.
The Newfoundland seal industry is
said to be the greatest and most profit
able ocean fishery in the world, but the
introduction of steam-vessels for fishing
gives especial interest to the inquiry
whether winter-fishing is necessarily Sc
perilOus that it ought to be prohibited,
for it is thought that steam-tishing
smacks will be extensively used to take
cod in the winter months. Steam
smacks can also be advantageously
used for mackerel-fishing, catching o
fish and taking them to market much
more rapidly than ~sail-vessels. At pres
ent much OF the fish eaten in winter is
taken from the water in the fall and
kept on ice until it passes from the mar
ket. The demand for fish fresh from the
sea is increasing so fast that general in
terest attaches to the discussion OF the
methods by which the perils of winter
fishing can be reduced.-N. y. Mail and
ErDreSS.
