STRANGE SPEENDoRs I'm THE SKY.
The Glow in the Western Heavens That
Appears After Sunset.

iOli LIE New Suu.
The fiery appearance Of the western slsv after
shutdown, which excited much attention and
wondermeut In all quarters Of the world last
year, has recently again become g conspicuous
phenomenon. Last evening i'm particular the
skies glowed with splendid shades of red and
crimson. and 90 brilliant was the display that
some persons thought great fire was raging
Long after the sun had disappeared a lurid red
light hu ng over the western horizon while the
darkening heavens overhead reflected faint
tlnge OF pink. Similar displays have been wit
messed at intervals since last winter and that
they are due to the same cause which produced
tie astonishing red skies Of year ago is rem
dered probable by the persistence OF another
phenomenon which made its appearance at the
same time with the original red giows This is
the halo which eau be seen surrounding the sun
on any clear day. and which has not lost any OF
its intensity during the twelve months that
have elapsed since it was first noticed.
The question has been raised by well-known
sayantS whether these sun pageants really are
unusual phenomena. On this point there can
be no longer any doubt. IL is certain that the
red giows referred to, and the curious appear
ance around the sun in the daytime, are hot Or
binary aspects of the sky.
The explanation which has been most widely
accepted. namely, that the appearances in ques-
ZION are due TO the presence in the atmosphere
OF fine dust thrown out by the volcanic expl0-
sion in the East Indies year ago last summer,
Is open to many objections One OF the most
serious is furnished by the temperance of the
red glows several times after they had almost
or quite disappeared. But whatever the cause
OF the strange sights In the heavens may be
whether 1t is meteOric dust from the star depths
or volcanic dust from the bowels of the earth.
or no dust at all, but the operation Of forces in
herent in the atmosphere itself-it is pretty clear
by this time that it threatens no peril to the
dwellers upon the earth, As has been asserted bV

And years afterward, when Eunice

A Wild Ride.


A patient named Searle at the insane
hospital led his brother and couple of
attendants wild chase on Sunday last.
The brother was visiting at the asylum
and, during the afternoon took the daft
one out for a ride. By some means the
wild man got hold of the lines, ordered
and compelled his brother to get out,
and then putting the whip to the horse
went sailing over the prairie in a most
reckless manner. The brother and at
tendants started after the crazy run
away, and coming up with him as the
horse was making one of the many long
turns, one of them, by climbing over
the buggy top from behind, secured the
lines and soon stopped the horse that
was almost exhausted from his long
race. The patient was driven back as
soon as possible, and it will be some
time before he is allowed to drive alone
again. The buggy was slightly broken,
but no other damage was done.

The Member From Alabama.


Ole Bull while in the pride of his
manhood gave concert at Washing
ton which was largely and fashionably
attended. In the midst of one of the
most exquisite pieces, while every
breath was suspended and every ear
attentive to catch the sound of that
magical instrument, the silence was
suddenly broken and the harmony in
terrupted by the well-known voice Of
Felix Grundy Mcconnell, represen-
tative from Alabama, shouting: "None
of your hifalutin, but give us Hail
Columbia and bear hard on the treble. -
"Turn him out, was shouted from every
part of the house, and the police force
in attendance undertook to remove him
from the hall. "Mac," as he was
called, was not only one of the most
handsome men in congress, but one of
the most athletic, and it was difficult
task for the policemen, although they
used their clubs to overpower him. AS
he was carried from the hall some of
his congressional friends interrupted
and secured his release.

Englishmen Who Have Married Amer.
lean Ladies.

Manchester Letter.
Just few words as to the marriages
of American women among the Eng
lish aristocracy. Beginning with the
present century it appears that in 1900
Baron Ashburton married Miss Anne
Bingham, of Philadelphia. In the
same year Baron Erskine married a
daughter of General Cudwalder, of the
same city. In 1928 the Duke of Leeds
married Miss Cotton, of Baltimore. In
1862 Lord Arbizger married daughter
of Commodore Magruder, of the United
States navy. In 1872 the Hon. Henry
Wadehouse (the Earl of Kimberly's
brother) married Miss King of Georgia;
the lady afterwards, in 1880, married
the Marquis of Angleward. In 1872
Viscount Vaudeville married Miss
Yznaga, of New York, and about the
same time Lord Randolph Churchill
married Miss Jerome, of the same place.
Baronets are not included. IL may,
however, be of interest to know that
Sirs Robert Burnett, Thomas Heskett,
John Lester Kaye, Robert Graham,
John Rose, Sidney Waterlow, and
Charles Wolsely have all married
American ladies'.

Girls Who Are Useful.

| DOslOu 1Iuuocripi-
| The notion that girls are too delicate
to be useful is limited to comparative
ly small part of the globe. Through
out Asia, Africa, and in large portions
even of Europe and America, there pre-
walls an old belief that they are born to
labor. In Turkestan and on the Tar
tar steppes the Kirghese Suitauas and
their daughters, and princesses in
whose veins flow the blood of long lines
of kings, still milk the sheep, COWS and
goats, and perform the menial offices of
the household, as the Sanscrit maidens
did six thousand years ago in the same
localities. They cook, take care of the
younger children, make garments, cure
the skins of the wild fowl, with the
feathers on, for caps, spin cotton, weave
cloth and tan leather by means of ssur
milk. In this delectable region the
mothers wear rich attire, while the
daughters goes in humber weeds, like
Cinderella. If there is piano the
mother plays on it in the front room of
the tent, while the daughter brews the
koumiss, stews the mutton and broils
the camel chops in the back kitchen.
This is the benighted condition
OF patrlarcnal people VINO auhere
to nearly obsolete theory of
flial duty. Similar ideas prevail
throughout India, China and among
the native tribes of Siberia, who have
been driven northward by aggressive
neighbors. The Tungusian girl gath
ers the snow, melts it, makes the tea
and the fish soup, sews, and, being
skillful in archery, helps to keep the
larder supplied with game. The Yakut
and Samovede maidens, and all who
dwell along the Arctic ocean, help in
summer to lay up winter supplies, and
in winter to perform all nscessary do
mestic duties. The Abyssinian girl
grinds corn in the simple mills in use
in that country. The Kaffir girl
weaves baskets and draws water. The
girls in the other parts of the Dark
Continent pulverize the grain, weave
mats, make earthen vessels, and are
the hatters of their tribe. The theories
of the tribes and nations of Asia and
Africa are shared by the Indians of
North and South America, who compel
the young girls to learn the duties and
of life at an early age.

Fans for Ceiling Decoration.

BOstOn BeacOn.
Although Japanese decoration has
been overdone, a new adaptation for
handsome fans on the ceiling of adraw-
ing-room has been tried with much sue
cess. The fans used were of fine quail
ity and of all shapes and sizes, and
were arranged in grotesque figures and
combinations, so as tolook as if strange
birds and creatures had flown up there.
Late productions of Japanese art are
inferior to those brought out several
years ago; but in the matter of fans
they still excel, and In point of richness
of color, remain master of the situa-
liOn.
