THE aFIRsT LADY"
The Reports of oonten,lon Between Iw,

The Reports Of Contention Between Two
Ladies' for the Honor u MYTH.
WARRINGTON, D. O., Feb.ll.-For weeks
past and also during the last session of
Congress, reports were in circulation ai
contention between Mrs. Speaker Carlisle
and Mrs. Frelinghaysen, :he wife OF Che
Secretary Of State. as TO their relative rank
and standing in the social world, the
question being difference Of opinion as
to which was the first lady in the land"
These stories have been greatly magnified
by busybodies, who rellshcd this sweet
morsel OF gossip, and were thus furnished
with q never.ending subject Of conversa-
tian, but there was really no ground Tor
their foundation in the first place. There
were some signs OF petty iealousles on the
part OF q few Of the shortsighted friends
Of thetwo ladies, but neither Mrs. Car
Isle nor Mrs. Frelinghuysen are ladies
who by any exhibition their part would
give rise to any such notions. The fact
that the wife OF President Arthur Is dead,
and the wife OF Senator Edmunds, the
Acting Vice President, is in poor health,
aud not many months ago was called upon
to mourn the death Of daughter; conse.
quentlyS she does not go into society, and
this leaves Mrs, Carlisle. occupying the
nominal position Of first lady Of the
land" Mrs. Frelinghuysen, being the
wife Of the Premier Of the administration,
is called upon to fill q social position that
gives her q leadership In official and diplo-
matte festivities, especially those where
the ladies are supposed TO have any intlu-
ence, and while she is not a lady that
would claim any distinction that did not
belong to her, some Of the friends Of Mrs.
Carlisle may have felt that her preroga.
tives were cncroached upon. As said
above, Mrs. Carlisle Is a lady OF too much
common sense to pay any attention to such
a matter, especially as the Constitution for
which Democratic statesmen have such
veneration recognizes no such rank as first
lady OF this or any other land.

Where the Best. Lobsters are TAX

S11s
Lewiston Journals e Rambler.
The best Holsters in the world are
taken off Monhegan in the winter.
They thrive better in the deep water
out to sea than on the shores; Of the bays
where most Of the Maine lobstermen set
their traps. The Monhegan fishermen
are getting splendid prices for their
Holsters this winter 10 to- $40 30 per
hundred. Think Of that you people
who think You pay high prices for lob
sters! ii The jobber and the retailer
have TO make prof IS on these figures.
But yon probably do not get taste Of
the big Monhegan lobster, but eat shell
fish which are caught at Bristol or
sBoothbay OF somewhere along there,
for, which u. 80 per hundred IS paid.
The Monhegan lobsters are shipped to
New York and Boston. I saw II, 900
of them IN d car in p cortland sharbor; the
other day. The Holsters are kept
alive in these great cars, tied to tile
docks, from the time they are taken out
fof the smacks till they can be shipped.
Vat lobster car looks like a5cattle car flat-
tened ont. It is 8 large box sufficient
~ open to let the water in and keep the
Holsters in. obsters are sociable fell
lows. &c is sport to see them rub each
gotherss; backs and embrace each other,
as if bidding their good bya, when they
are dipped out of the car and leave their
brine for good, They squirm as IL they
had premoniti lions Of hot water.

what u do III 1 q Tornado.

Sergeant Finley, Stenal officer at.
Kansas City, Mo. has published the
following advice with regard to precau-
lions against tornado Ices: z5: s..isS
The inhabitants Of tornado ORE
quented district must be watchful in
the season OF visltations, for he can
never know when the destruction may
come upen him. On the first sign Of
the approaching vortex, he must run
always to the;north, unless by going in
that direction he will have to cross the
entire path. Of the storm. II he is
nearer 70 the southern edge than to the
center Of the probable path, he may 60
south, bearing slightly east; but in no
event should he ever run directly to.
the east or northeast. It is impos-
sible to save any building that
may lie in the path Of the tornado, or
any property that cannot be got
out Of its way. No material, no method
of construction can BIZ competent to re-
sist the raging destruction. Nothing
rising above the ground can escape it.
The most praotical measure of precau-
ton is TOT constrnct a tdugout' at some
-oaAptsIAO ttOA4Up Sthoy uloGhuC6
from the house, to serve as a place of
refuge or shelter. The retreat should
be entirely under ground, with roof
at least three feet thick, not rising above
the surface Of the earth, and entered
from the northern or eastern side. A
scellar-cave' may be constructed from
the cellar, if tho house has one, as q
substitute for q dug out. at should be
excavated from the west wall Of the oel-
lar, toward the west; and should be:
made as complete and secure as the
sdug-out. If, however, the storm cam
not be escaped, if no refuge is OF hand,
or there is not time to get toit, the safest
thing to do is toplace ones self against
the west wall Of the cellar, face forward
or against the south wall, as near the
southwest corner as, possible. The
northeast quarter is in any case fatal
position, and should always be avoided.
# one is actually oyertaken BY the tor
nado, his only resource is to cast him
self face downward upon the ground,
with his head to the east and his arms
thrown over his head to protect it. If
stump or large stone, or anything
heavy that the wind will not blow over,
is near, he may get trife Of protection
by throwing himself to the eastward OF
it. If in 9 house with no cellar, he
should get into the west room, on the
ground! floor, if possible, and away from
all stoves and heavy furniture.

I Hot Water Il Dyspepsia.

From The Youths Companion. KS s8y 3zss}
The internal use Of hot water in vari-$
ous ailments,bu espe cially in dyspepsia
Is exciting 8 good deal Of interest, both
among the people and among physicians.
We are personally acquainted with cases
of signal cure by it, where the indiyid- :!
iuals had long suffered without help.
from other remedies. Most Of onr me-
ical journals. including the London
Lancet, have had articles on the sub.

the New York Medical Record, his own
experience with lit. We give the sub

He had always enjoyed robust health,
never having needed medicine except
once when he was 9 boy. In August,
1883, however, he was Frustrated. to the
verge of Snnconsciou by sunstroke.
With this began trouble with his diges-
tion. There was no pain; no acidity, but
an uncomfo Portable feeling which ended
in the election Of his food from his stom-
ach, and yet without nausea.
This continued for three months.
Meanwhile, he faithfully tried nearly
all the approved remedies and methods
of treatme nt, and regulated and RESTRICT

and invariably rose from the table hun
