Something About the Weather, Past
Present and Euture-Yankton's Sig.
nal station.
A visit was made to-day to the cheer.
full apartments occupied by Sergeant
Thompson as q government signal sta
tion for the purpose of consulting the
official oracles upon a subject which has
been more talked of to-day than any
others-namely, the weather. Our yes
terday's telegraphic report of indica-
tions from Washington read:
For the upper Mississippi, cloudy
weather, local rains, slightly warmer,
followed during Saturday by slightly
colder, weather; winds becoming variable
and generally shifting to the westerly.
The prediction was being fulfilled,
though Yankton is not located in the
division known as the upper Mississlp-
pi," but contiguous thereto. Colder
weather had ensued, the wind was yarI-
able and the spasmodic efforts of the ar
row on the dial indicator in Sergeant
Thompson's Office was evidence that it
was making desperate efforts to settle
down for a steady blow from the west.
The forecast of yesterday was correct,
but we were interested in the future. 1t
was alreadJ slightly colder, "but would it
become more SO. Sergeant Thompson
thought it would and he based his con-
illusions partially upon the fact that the
mercury in the tube of the thermometer
had been slowly sinking during the fore
poon, while the barometrical column was
rapidly rising. The indications were
that the storm which left US a heavy
rainfall aud a sprinkle of snow had
spent its force and that it was to be sue
ceeded by clearer skies and lower tenn
perature. 1t liz the opinion of the OBJ
server, however, that there will be no
very great extreme of cold and that this
meteorological disturbance will be suc-
ceeded by q period of autumnal balm
mess. Judging from the rule in the
past, and taking no note gof the excep-
tions to the rule, it is yet too early for
settled winter weather in southern Da-
kota.
Sergeant Thompson says yesterdays
barometer was the lowest OF the season,
20 80, which was even lower than at the
time of last summers tornado visitation.
This low barometer is unusual
at this time of the year aud indicates an
extensive storm, of which our locality
has had it's full share.
The cold wave flag has been received
and will be hoisted on the Pennington
block whenever orders are received from
Washington. 1t will indicate that the
temperature will fall within the sue
ceedIng t~weaty-four or thirty-six hourt
probably from about ten degrees tc
twenty or more. The experiment fol
this section is yet untried and the
weather department reaches accurate
results largely from its local experiences
With the flag came e communication
from the head Of the signal service
thanking Governor Pennington for the
use OF his flag staff for signal purposes

The Tyranny Of the Shoe.


Large women. said a well-known artist
and expert. must have feet that to be beau
tiful would lie very ugly on "A smaller
woman. A No. | boot is 10 a large extent a
female hallucination. Ii is to a much larger
extent. perhaps, a female curse, for those
who dare not undergo its miseries grow
sooner or later TO believe that they do. and
fire cannot burn out Of them the conviction
that their shoes are No. !. Nobody but the
woman herself knows what tortures are un-
dergone by the slave with No. , foot who
is chained TO a No. / shoe. Professional
women who exhibit their feet are. Of course,
more subject TO this tyranny of the shoe
than other women, and il may not be gen
orally known that there are emotional and
tragic actresses who, when all other means
of Stimulating agony and awakening pity
fail, rush 10 the No. boot They put that
on and a sad, fsr-away look of unutterable
despair comes into their ewes. neuralgia
shadows play about their mouths. their chins
quiver with unexpressed grief, their temples
throb with indies. ribable woe Then the
spectators are moved.
And here il is worth while 10 remark en-
passant, that the ballet dancers foot con-
trary 10 the popular notion, is not and can
not be small one The development con-
sequent upon continuous physical exercise
settles the conventional idea of comeliness.
A ballet dancer never wears a tight boot,
and when she is dancing she wears shoes
which are models of adaptability and free
dom. But nevertheless the muscles and
tendons of the foot are enlarged The veins
stand out, and there is a general appearance
Of strength rather than of beauty. All this
may be obnoxious TO the fastidious taste of
the Greek sculptor, but there il really moth
ing repugnant to good sense in it. By the
side of the ordinary society foot when barred
TO the light, the ballet dancers is thing of
beauty. There is not one society belle in ten
that dares to bathe at the seaside without
hose on Do you know why! Ask the No.
boot
To find the classic foot in these degenerate
days we shall have to look long way. The
popularity Of the classic foot is the wide
ga between the large toe and its neighbor.
This in the Greek foot was undoubtedly
caused by the thong of the sandal that came
up between the toes and kept them apart.
Mr.. Sarony in determining the fine points of
a models foot is said 10 have doubled up a
ten-dollar bill compactly and inserted be-
tween the toes with the jocose remark that
if il fell out it was the models. And his ex-
rerience is thatit generally stays there until
il is pulled.
The American women as n rule have
smaller feet than the English women. Bat
this is not altogether matter Of tsmpera-
ture. Habit in large measure determines
the size OF the feet. as il win OF the arms.
and the English women use their feet far
more than do the Americans.

Mrs Hendricks the wife Of the vice presi-
dent, is at present an interesting figure in
Washington society. Though of rather
small stature, she has a commanding will, it
is said, which is the principal guide Of her
husband through the mazes of politics. She
is decidedly a woman of affairs, watching
closely the course Of events. on which shs

her individual opinion with tact and grace,
of which she is unmistakably mistress.
She was Miss Eliza c. Morgan before she
married Mr.. Hendricks in is45. Her grand
father, DIR. Stephen Wood, was one Of the
earliest settlers of Hamilton county, Ohio.
Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks have had but one
child, son, who died when three years old.
She has for many years devoted much Of her
time TO charitable matters, being president
of the board of trustees of the Indiana Insti-
tuition for the reformation Of girls for four
years, and while her husband was governor
she inspected closely the affairs Of the various
penal institutions of Indiana. In 1877 she
made with her husband tour of Europe.
which added considerable valuable informa-
tion To her already well-stored mind.

withdrew their privileges on account OF the
humming noise produced by the swinging
wires The most natural way out u the
difficulty. of course, was 10 run the wires
through the sewers. and in 1880. upon the
consolidation Of the principal companies
into a single one bearing the name OF La
Societee General des Telephones" this
method was adopted.
The city Of Paris opened it, sewers q the
telephone company. in consideration OF
rental and the telephone wires found a rest
ing place near the telegraph wires, which
had alreaiy been placed there. TIE city let
out a space thirty centimeters about twelve
inchesl vide, and ten centimeters about four
inches thick along the vault Of the sewer,
which allowed the company TO attach triple
hooks on which fifty one cables Of forty con-
ductOrs each are hung. All telephone cir
cults in Paris are metallic, no grount re-
turns being used, the object being TO avoid
induction. ConSeq uently, every circuit re-
quires two single conductors, AMI these are
twisted together and covered with a LAYER Of
cotton OF the same cllor.
Seven such double wires, covered with
different cotton. in order To distinguish them
easily, are wrapped about with tarred tape
and inclo,ed in n lead pipe, which is reIrawn
after the wires are inserted, in order 10 make
a close-ttting covering. The multiple cables
Of fourteen wires, constituting seven con-
ductors inclosed in leai, have an external
diameter OF eighteen millimeters, and they
are worth from II . francs per meter, ac.
cording 10 the current price of lead. copper,
and gutta percha. The length Of the cable
is about 400 meters and it i only at the clsd
of one of thee sections that the individual
circuits are sodered and lead out into the
buildings occupied by the subscribers. These
single circuits are also covered with lead,
and are carried in a small trench under the
sidewalks into the buildings. The small
cables are eight millimeters in diameter.
