A certain young lady left the hous
where she boards in this city for a days
visit in the country, and as it was Mon
day she left directions with the lady of
the house to give the washerwoman her
weeks washing when she called. The
washing was done up in newspaper,
and that was the only bundle of the
kind in the room. so there could be no
mistake.
On her return in the latter part of the
afternoon she discovered that her wash

there appeared to be trouble in the
house, and the suiplurous odor of pro-
family pervaded the atmosphere. "A
young man who occupied room on the
floor below her was raving up and down,

RED SNOW IN THE ROCKIES.
A Phenomenon Thought to 60 Toward
Explaining the Crimson Sunset Puzzle.
Denver Republican

explaining the crimson sunset Puxzle.
Denver Republican.
The following is from the Denver Dai,
ly Reporter of yesterday. 1t appears at
first to present facts which illustrate and
confirm the theory that the red sunsets
were caused by meteeric dust. The red
sunsets of sometime ago have at last
been solved. Our reporter returned this
morning from flying trip to Gunnison
county. While there he found the snow
on the tops of the ranges as red as if it
had been sprinkled with red peper. Be-
ing supplied with chemicals and blow
pipe outfit, he was enabled to make a
test and found il to be meteoric iron.
1t could not have been wash from the
mountain, as it was on the top of the
range, as we'll as lower down and only
on the urface of the snow. Upen dig
ging down few inches the snow was
clean and white. The sun shining
through this cloud of red oxide of iron
caused its rays to appear red, giving the
same effect of a piece OF red glass, This
dust fell over the entire earth, but was
invisible except where caught by the
perpetual snow on the mountain top.
Last night reporter ofthe Republican
called at the residence of Professor p.
II. van Diest and handed him the above
article to read. Professor van Diest said
he did not think the theory advanced a
correct one. at could not have been
meteoric iron," said the Professor, "be.
cause iron would by its specific gravity
have sunk beneath the surface of the
snow and, IN addition to this, the color
would not have been red, as it is de-
scribed TO have been, but It would have
been more like ochre. i imagine that
the red substance found upon the snow
was the pollen Of some flower which
had been carried from a distance by the
winds. This has been noticed before,
travellers in the Arctic regions having
spoken of seeing similar appearances
upon the snow. Examinations have
shown it to be vegetable and not miner

Thanksgiving.

The custom of having one day in
the year set apart for national thanks
giving la a happy one. This custom
grew out Of the conviction that the
people of this great nation, whose
God is the Lord, should join their
hearts in grateful acknowledgement
OF His mercies. The time appropri-
ately chosen for the observance of
this national thanksgiving festival
was in the autumn, after the ingath-
ering of the harvests of the field and
the fruits of the orchard. Agreeable
to this beautiful custom, President
Arthur recommends that on to-day
the people throughout the land sus-
pend labor 'Hand with heart and voice
pay reyerent acknowledgment to the
Oliver of all good for the countless
blessings wherewith He hath visited
this nation" So, then, for our peace
full, healthful homes-their delight
full friendships, hallowed associations
and consecrated loves; for our
mountains, grim and grand, with
their exhaustless mines of untold
wealth; for our valleys, fertile and
beautiful, fragrant with rose-beds,
luxurious purple clusters and delic-
ious fruitage; for our rivers and seas
that bear our commerce; for our rail
roads, that afford quick transit for
our persons and our property, and
our telegraphs that flash our thoughts
across oceans and continents for
peace; for civil liberty; for the prog
ress of civilization and the conquests
of the Christian religion; for the
quenchless spirit Of American inven
ton and enterprise; the products of
scientific research and discovery; the
increased appreciation and efficiency
of our schools and colleges and uni
versities, evinced by their more lib
cal endowments and appliances; for
all sweet charities; for all permanent
reforms; for all influences that tend
to refinement, to the elevation of the
people to higher plane of morality
and purity, let God be thanked
Let all the people praise Him; yea,
let all the people praise Him"
