The Variable Wind

One blowing day last week, when the
sidewalks were as slippery as glass, q
woman stood in front of a door on Cliff
ford street, and strewed some ashes from
a pan she held on the icy walk. AS she
did so. the wind blew the coal dust rather
freely over her, and man going past
said:
eff you will turn your back to the
wind it will blow the ashes from you IN
stead of over YOU"
The woman thanked him with her
ewes, but did not move. Indeed, she
could not without losing her balance and
the ashes both.
sLet me show you," said the man,
kindly. as he removed fur glove and
grasped with determined grip the well
filed ash-pan. "You can throw them
over the walk in this way, and not be
liable to put your eyes out. It's as easy
as rolling off log," and he braced his
back against the wind and gave gener-
Gus flop to the ash-pan.
The woman went into the house to gel
the ashes out of her hair and eyes and re-
cover her health. When the police hao
busted the man off and identified him
they took him home. The only remarE
he made was:
"You can't most always tell from wha
quarter the wind will blow when you at
tempt to give advice about emptying al
ash-pan. "
Which it is so.-DetrOH Free Press.

The Hop Situation.

Country shippers are liable to be mis-
lead by the regular hop quotations, un-
less they clearly understand the situa-
ton. Fancy New York are quoted as
high as % cents per pound and fancy
Eastern at "a to 25 cents, but so far as
our market is concerned, very few hops
go over 20 cents, because most of the re-
ceipts are of a medium grade. The
higher grades are now almost wholly in
the hands of few holders, who peddle
them about to the brewers at the extreme
prices. Some lots of Eastern hops were
consigned to parties here few weeks ago
as prime quality, but when offered for
sale they were in every case found to
be quite inferior, and did not realize over
Is to 18 cents. The shipper felt ag-
grieved. but no blame could be attached
to the consignee, who did all he could
to get higher price. There has been
a good demand for export this season,
but it has been confined mainly to the
medium grades. From Boston the ship
ments foot up 1740 bales, against l74
bales for the same time last year, an in
crease of 1000 bales. From New York
the shipments for the season aggregate
81, 500 bales, against $4,000 bales for the
corresponding time last year, an increase
of q, 900 bales. Nobody expects any
boom in hops this year, but the strong
tone of the English market warrants the
belief that the prices will be no lower.
The Cooperstown On. W Journal says:
''Some of the New York dealers who
are heavy shippers on their own account,
and who have several thousand bales In
the London market, are holding up fol
the present, and probably wisely for al
concerned. So the shipments for the
next few weeks may be comparatively
light. American brewers may depend
upon one thing-and SO may city dealers
who have sold hops short-hops are not
gong any lower, with even very mod
crate foreign demand to aid the market.
Holders are not inclined to press their
hops upon the market at the ruling
prices, for they very generally entertain
the confident belief that all will be
needed before the close of the season.

A Palpable Evidence.

The most palpable evidence of polyg-
amy that one encounters here, says a
letter written from Salt Lake City, is
the number of baby carriages that he
stumbles over and swears at on pleas
ant day. 1t is a sight worth seeing,
some twenty or thirty of them in a row
lining the sidewalks. the only variety
being in the color of their eyes or the
pitch of their infantile crow or howl.
You do not see men parading the streets
with their collection of wives tied to-
gether with string, as / dimly ex-
pected; though if you go to the Taber-
nacle ON Sunday you will see an old
farmer come in with his lumber wagon
we'll loaded with femininity of several
ages and nationahties, and it is fair to
presume that they each lay claim to
board. He marches them into the old
adobe building which figures as taber-
nacle here with all the pride of an Off
Ger marshalling his forces on the field oi
battle. When some weazened old repro
bate brings in new wife the religious
fervor of the audience gets the best OF
them at this fresh evidence of godliness
and exaltation, and hearty "Amen !!
ascends to heaven and Joseph Smith,
But even the country Mormons disclaim
polygamy with this living evidence o.
it right before your eyes, and you cam
prove it on them either, for their mar
riages are secret and all of the local Off
GERS of the town are Mormons them
| selves.

What he Found Ont.

We found out lots of interesting things
during the storms of last week. One
was that an occurrence. of low baromet-
rical pressure and the consequent pre-
valence of rain and east winds produces
a singular effect upon the relations of
the travelling public to the horse cars.
An observant and philosophical conduc-
tor pointed out the fact, illustrating it
with his own somewhat wide experience.
eff l didn't know in any other way
that it was a wet, chilly, disagreeable
day, should know it by noticing the
way the women act. On wet days ten
of them come out and signal me to stop
the car on the wrong side of the cross
ings where one would do it on a fair day
and on this trip have had four chase the
the car and get on it between CornhilI
and Boylston street, and then find out
that it wasn't the one way they wanted
And everybody hasn't nothing but big
bills in wet day; in the last hour I've
had to make change for quarters
worth of tickets out of six five-dollar
bills, and how I'm going to change the
the next one / don't know" At this
juncture a young woman came to the
car door. "Does this car go to Corn
hill?" she asked. "No 1T don't" said
the conductor; "we're going away from
it as fast as we can." "Why didn't you
say so before" ?" demanded the youno
woman snappishly as she descended the
platform. "Well, I'm blowed, SAID the
conductor as he rang the bell; chow
should know she wanted to go tc
Cornhill when she didn't saw ANYTHING
about it !? But s'pose it's the weather, )
he charitably added as he went in tc
take up fares.-Boston Journal,
