Another CyeIOnp.

Last Wednesday a cyclone struck the
town of Odell, ILL.,, doing great damage,
but no lives were lost
The hurricane came from the south
west in the form of two dark funnel
.taped clouds, which seemed to meet
and join directly over the town. rs
though aimed to wipe it out of existence
The air darkened and the sudden swoop
of the storm was followed by a plash of
rain like small waterspout. The fury
of the tempest was over in less than fif-
teen minutes, and was followed bv a
brisk rain-storm, intermingled with
flashes of forked lightning. The cyclone
had been preceded by small storm of
hail, and caught the town so suddenly
that there was little time to flee for
refuge. Vehicles were overturned in the
street and people lifted off their feet and
blown against the shaking buildings.
When people recovered their senses
and got chance to look over the scene
1t seemed as though the town was a COM
plete wreck. The streets were strewn
with the debris of the unroofed and pros
trate buildings, and it seems nothing
short of miraculous that dozens of peo-
pie were not killed and scores manned
and wounded.
The storm did great damage at other
places in Illinois.

Beware of Red Stockings.

The New York Herald saws that bright
red stockings are condemned by DR..
Edison. Several persons who have worn
them have complained recently that
painful sores appeared on their feet and
legs. The doctor purchased lot of the
stockings at different stores and ana
lyzed them. He said yesterday that
they were all found to contain arsenic
and anthony. The arsenic is one of
the ingredients of the dye, and the anti
mony is used to fix the color. The
arsenic can be easily extracted from the
stocking after it is dyed. but it is so
cheap that the manufacturers do not
care to take the trouble.
The poisonous bright red stockings
are all made in Saxony. and were found
on sale in the best retail stores of the
the city. The proprietors have been
directed to take them out of stock at
once. If the order is not obeyed. DIR.
Edison says he viii prosecute any one
selling hose of this kind. The offenders
