The Earthquake In England.
New YORK lIerAId. April si.l

The earthquake which 30 terrified the
people In the eastern counties oil England
ON Tuesday seems to have beea exoep-
tionnlly severe. The earthquake wave
passed from the south TO the north, and
probably originated in the southwest OF
England. The extensive earthquake
area in that quarter embraces the Mai
vern and Mcndip hills, which point TO n
succession OF geological disturbances,
while the hot springs rising III that soc.
ton Indicate n connection between the
surface aud the heated interior of the
earth. In Sir John Prestwich's list "
Of ifty.nine English earthquakes, the
larger proportion were recorded in win
ter aud spring. While atmospheric
changes cannot bo supposed to directly
cause such seismic convulsions, the fact
that they most frequently occur in the
stormy seasons shows TINT whom the
crust Of the earth is Ia state Of tension
great changes Of air pressure, as It has
been said, 'may destroy the equilibrium
that has previously been barely main.
tainod." Considering the iicxibili'y OF
the earths crust and the fact that the
source Of volcanic disturbance cannot bo
far below the surface in the British
lslands, il is strange that earth shocks
in this storm beaten area aro not more
frequent and severe.
The earthquake, it is reported, has
caused q general feeling of alarm aud
insecurity throughout England. But the
intensity of the shock does not seem to
Justify such fears. Over two hundred
aud fifty live earthquakes have been re-
corded In Great Britain, and in October,
1889, as many as siStythree shocks were
felt In single district, but none OF the
convulsions on record have proved gen.
orally disastrous and very few have been
attended by any fatality. Almost all
very destructive earthquakes originate
in the ocean bed by M eruption of lava
or other submarine disturbance. As
England is more than IL thousand miles
from the great Atlantic volcanic centre
in the Azores and Canary Islands. its
position is a guarantee against nearly all
seismic waves except the minor and local
disturbances which result from the sud
den collapse OF rocks that have been
under great strain. The severe tremors
of Tuesday should, however, be a warn.
ing to English architects against erect
ing lofty buildings and tall church spires
aud chimney stacks in the large cities.

The Sw oct Minded Woman.

so great is the influence Of sweet
minded woman on those around her that
it is almost bonndless. II is to her that
friends come in Seasons Of sickness and
sorrow for hel p and comfort. One sooih-
ing touch of her kindly hands works
wonders in the feverish child; a few
words let fall from her lips in the ear of
u sorrowng sister do much to raise the
load Of grief that is bowling its victim
down to the dust ofanguish. The husband
comes home worn out with tho pressure
of business and feeling irritable with
the world in general, but when he en-
ters the cosy sitting-room aud sees the
blaze of the bright fro aud meets his
wife's smiling face he succumbs in II
moment to the soothing influences,
which act Az balm Of Gilsad to his
wounded spirit. We are all wearied
with combating with the realities OF life.
The rough school boy flies in rage
from the taunts of his companions to
find solace in the mothers smile; the
little one, full Of grief with it's own
large trouble, finds a haven of rest on
its mothers breast; and so one may go
ON with instances Of the influence
sweet minded woman has in tho social
life with which she is connected Beauty
is an insignificant power when compared
with hers. London Truth.

Remnants of the ModoCs.


ivinita H. t letter to st. Louis Globe Democrat
The Modocs last fall were brought
here from the lava beds, and numbered
l57 souls. They have dwindled down
numerically year by year until now but
ninety seven nra borne upon the rolls Of
the agency, although recent aud unreg-
istered births are said to swell the iig-
ures to l03 The old members of the
tribe are rapidly passing away and in a
few years at most none will be left. The
change Of habits, aud particularly that
of climate, has worked upon them fear
fully. Nearly all adult deaths have been
from consumption in lingering form.
Intermarriage is believed to have much
to do with the physical dogencracy OF
the Mudocs, and without M infusion of
fresh blood it is Thought the tribe will
soon be extinct This last seems to
be nm impossibIity. Caste distinction
in the form Of tribal exclusivcness and
seclusiveness is strong with nearly all
Indians. Each is proud of his own tribe
and either fears or desrises all others.
Consequently intermarriage between
tribes is prohibited by the highest law
of Indian public opinion. BY common
consent the Modocs are placed in the
lowest scale of responsibility by all the
surrounding tribes aud no dealings or
communications OF any kind exist be-
tween them. Yet the fact remains that
tho Modocs lead in native intelligence
and capacity to receive instruction, and
that they have actually accompl shed
more in the last ten yeara than any tribe
in the Territory.
