Magnetic and Aerial Storms.

The interesting problem whether MAG
netlc storms precede cyclones has recently
been studied by Professors Balfour Stew
art and VIM. l.. Carpenter in England
They report to the Royal Society that.
comparing the dates OF about thirty cv-
clonic storms and those OF magnetic dis
turbances registered at the Kew Obsery-
atory, they find that out of these thirty
cases In twenty-three there was a dis
tlnct magnetic disturbance, for the most
part preceding the aerial storm bv some
what more than day. While the results
they arrived at are not final, the fact that
SO large proportion of British cyclones
We're magnetlcally indicated a dav in adj
vance is worthy of notice. Several very
striking analogies between meteorological
and magnetical weather have long since
been pointed out by Professor Stewart
and others. The diurnal ranges OF mag
netlc decllnation and those of atmosnbnr-
lc temperature are easily compared. Both
KINDS OF weather apparently travel. as

mary examination of the two phenornena

is surrounded by q park. OF some $500

scription by Alfred, Lord Tenneyson.
This tower contains some remarkable in
ecriptions, among them is one of the date
OF Hezekiah and Sennacherib; a Coptic
one of the seventh century, and some
pillars from an early Christian church
OF the fourth century. Every
part of Lord Dufferin's country seat
displays taste and elegance, and
is one OF those ideal homes which figure
so prominently in English literature, but
more especially the novels and essays of
the past two centuries. Lord Dufferin
has some seven or eight children, the

The course of his lordship in the con-

VICTOR HUGO.

He whose songs have been sung in
every land, whose power has enchaiped
every nation; he whose name will 90
down the ages until time shall be no
more, is dead. In the death of Victor
Hugo France has lost son, a son whom
she sometimes treated harshly; but the
world has lost a citizen and a poet.
Victor Marie Hugo was born at Bes-
aneon in February, 1902. His mother
and how many great men owe
their success in life to their mothers
was woman OF culture and refinement
and she early saw that her son Uas of ~
common mould. 1t is said that whom
Hugo was a mere child he comnosod
charming verses. On the coronation Of

handed the verses TO Chateau-

THE DIME NOVEL CURE.

Esead Dime Novels,
Boston Herald.

( Boston Herald
A trustee of the Providence public lib
rary has undertaken to cure the small
boy OF his interest in the dime novel. and
can be said to have succeeded He has
met the antecedent with its consequent.
lie has gathered into a scrap-booll the
! adventures of the boys who read dime
novels, and has made it his business in a
quiet way 10 ask the boys one bv one
who are interested in these stories to
spend an hour or two in reading, not the
imaginative story, but the wav in which
the small boy has attempted to realize
Row boys ought to live and what thev
ought to be allowed to do. 1t is said that
The dime novel boy usually reads the
ap-book, which is rapidly increasing
in size as the fresh exploits of the dime
novel adVenturers are added to it, about
two hours. He then lays it down in dis
gust, and nothing can induce him to re-
turn to those stories again. He asks the
person in charge OF the reading-room for
a better class of books
This cure of disease with its own
poison has been so effective in Providence
that the trustee in question is thinking of
taking out patent for the process, lest
other libraries and the heads of families
and guardians of the small bov generally
may appropriate his invention without
due credit. The scrap-book alluded 10 is
called '"The Dime Novel Illustrated and
it is suggested to this gentleman before
he goes much further that he should mt
his scrap-book to press, secure his copv-
right at home and abroad, and stand nm
for honors as the only man in the world |
who has 50 for succeeded in outwittin@
The average American boy, by giving him
a sufficient antidote TO the evil which in
he form OF devilish literature. he is
anxious to take into his mind and heart
o make him abandon these stories in dis
rust
He is the first among moderns to give
'olnt to the old saying: Look on fbis
'lcture and then on that" and it is tho
ther pictnre that is powerful enough to
7lnd up the dime novel business. These
re the days OF realism in literature. and
his man, going further than Mr.. Howells
r Mr.. James, or even II. lola, has sub
ttuted the pastepOt and scissors for the
gathering his horrors and
ragedies from actual life, in the firm be-
et that if truth is not stranger than

Christ'S IntercessiOn.

There arises from all parts of the
world, at the morning and the evening,
and through the labors of the dav,
perpetual incense of alteration and of
petition. 1t contains the sum of the
deepest wants of the human race in its
fears and hopes, its anguish and thank
fulness; it is laden with signs. with
tears, with pepitence, with faith, with
submission; the broken heart, the
bruised spirit the stifed murmur, the
ardent hope, the haunting fear, the
mothers darling wish, the child's simple
prayer-all the burdens of the soul, all
wants and desires nowhere else uttered
meet together in that sound of many
voices which asccnds into the ears of
the Lord God of hosts. And mingled
with all these cravings and utterances
is one other Voice. one other prayer.
their symphony, their melody, their ac-
cord-deeper than all these, tenderer
than all these, mightier than all
these--the tones of One who knows
us better than we know ourselves,
and who loves us better than we love
ourselves, and who brings all these
myriad fragile petitions into one preva-
lent intercession, purified by his own
holiness and the hallowing power of his
work.-ProteSSor II. b. Smith.

nigh childless. The tradesman, who
has his shop on the ground floor and
his sleeping-rooms in the fourth or fifth
story, could not keep children without
losing the services of his wife, whom he
wants to help him in his business. If
he kept children his wife would be
obliged to live upstairs, so he sends out
his babies to nurse as soon as they are
born, with the intention of letting them
remain in the country until they are
five or six years old; and the laborer,
who has generally but one garnet room,
up dozen flight of stairs, does the same
thing. The result of this is that more
than fifty per cent of the children born
in Paris die in the baby farmers hands
before reaching their second year" All
that Assistance Pubique has tried to do
toward checking this shocking waste of
life has been of little effect. Forty
crecheS have been instituted, and they
meet the wants of only small number
of mothers. A system for registration
and inspecting the homes of peasant
women who take children to nurse has
been attempted, but the assistance gets
little help from parents of the working
classes in contending against the ra-
pacity of baby farmers. A nurse of
whom no questions are asked gets
twenty-five francs a month for the keep
of baby; those who are registered
and so controlled that they can only re-
ceive one child, demand fifty francs or
more. These find their customers
among the boWgeoiSie, but the work
ing classes cannot afford to patronize
them. " In the last days perilous times
shall come, for men shall be
without natural affection. III. Tim
othy iii: 1-3).-Ercbange.

Prince and Prisoners.

A great English prince on one occa-
sion went to visit a famous king of
Spain. The prince was taken down to
the galleys to see the men who were
chained to the oars and doomed to be
slaves for life. The king of Spain prom
ised, in honor of the princes visit, that
that the prince might choose. SO the
prince went to one prisoner, and said:
My poor fellow, am sorry to see you
in this plight; how came you here?"
All! SIRE" he answered, I" false wit
nesses gave evidence against me;
am suffering wrongfully." Indeed!'
said the prince, and passed on to the
next man. My poor fellow, | am
sorry to see you here; how did it hap
penn" 8 Sire, / certainly did wrong,
but not to any great extent | ought
not to be here" " Indeed" said the
prince, and he went on to others, who
told him similar tales. At last he came
to one prisoner, who said: Sire, am
often thankful that | am here; for
am sorry to own that if | had received
my due ! should have been executed.
| am certainly guilty Of all that was
laid to my charge, and my severest pun
ishment is just" The prince replied,
wittily, to him: 1T is pity that such
guilty wretch as you are should be
chained among these innocent men,
and therefore | will set you free" You
smile, and well you may. How you
will smile if Jesus does the same for
you! Assuredly this is the manner OF
him; he passes by those who think
highly of themselves, and looks upon
those who are self-condemned and plead
guilty before God. He came not to call
the righteous, but sinners, to repent
ance.-Rec. G. II. SpWge0n.

Childless Paris.

Paris is the center of this worlds
taste, fashion, gayety, luxury and
splendor. What is its moral condition?
We know something of its history and
its religion; and religion that neglects
the Bible, leads to a skepticism which
rejects it. And what are the fruits?
What is the harvest? Public statistics
have shown that more than one-third
of the children born in Paris were il
legitimate. In 1868 the bodies of ten
thousand infants were fished out of the
public sewers of the city. In 1888, it
is stated, more than three thousand
children were abandoned by their par
ents, and were adopted and cared for
by the civil authorities. Says recent
writer: "The embellishments of Paris
which have swept away whole streets
of modest shops, connected formerly
with small but comfortable homes, have
had the effect of making the city we'll

Love in Providence.

God shows equal love for his differ
ent children by situating them differ
emily, even as by unlike means he
makes like careful provision for the
bodily wants of all his creatures. The
lions prey is swift and strong; where
fore the lion is furnished with still
swifter feet and stronger muscles, that
he may overtake his food. But the OK
is slow and awkward and clumsy;
therefore his food is the grass, which
can neither fight nor run away. And,
because the oak is firmly fixed and can
not 90 forth to seek its food at all, that
food is brought continually to it by
wind currents in the air above and
water currents in the soil below. The
same divine care is everywhere mani
fest, but its manifestations are every
where different. So in Gods care of
human souls. He places help within
their reach-always remembering that
some can reach farther than others for
it. The aged person, kept by bodily in
frmities away from Gods house, is
not, therefore, deprived of precious
communion with God at home. The
mother whose own little ones. or whose
own family cares, interfere with her at
| tendance at prayer-meetlng or Sunday
school, feels that she is blessed, even
while she remains away. The food is
brought to the oak which the oak can
not seek for itself. The Master seeks
the sufferer when the sufferer canno
seek the Master But right here is the
need of caution. Probably you have
abundant strength to seek Gods house
to teach in Sunday-school, to engage il
Christian work. Do so, then; remem
Der that the food is not brought to the
self-helpful lion -Sunddy-S School Times

BuryiDg Sin.

There are some persons who think it
much easier to bury sin than to repent
of it. But it is a very hard thing to
hide sin. 1t is like hiding seed or a
root in the ground, 1t draws strength
in its concealment, and finally, pushing
up through the soil, brings forth fruit,
thirty, sixty and hundred-fold. Sin
is not dead enough to be safely buried,
1t is like smouldering flame. 1t
is like poisonous seed; it will work
ruin in its concealment and finally
break out into open ungodliness and
destroy on every hand. A sin needs to
be dragged out of its hiding-place and
extirpated. Hiding ii only gives il a
fresh hold. "Whoso covereth his sins
shall not prosper, but he that con-
fesseth and forsaketh them shall have
mercy. "-ChriStim Witness

Limp Christians.

We may live to see men calling them
selves Christians and differing in no
single item from Mohammedans; in
fact, even now there are religionists
among us who are not so near the
truth as the followers of the false
prophet. Oak has given place to will
low; everybody has grown limp. Out
of the generality of limpness has come
an admiration of it. A man cannot
speak plain word without being ac-
cused of bitterness, and if he denounces
error he is narrow-minded; for all must
join the universal admiration company
or be placed under ban and be howled
down. -,SpurqeOn.
