NORFOLK, september II, 1883.
Within the last ten days two and q
half inches of rmn above the normal
average have fallen in this section OF
Virginia.
Further intelligence from the cyclone
near South Mills states that n dwelling
house was lifted from the ground and
carried about fifty yards and demolished,
and a woman named Burns, who was in
the house at the time. was killed. The
storm was from the southwest AMI cut q
swathe through the country not over
ffty yards wide, but threw down and
destroyed everything in Its path.
DAMAGE TO TOBACCO IL LOUISA.
LOUISA c. H., September IL, 1888.
The wet weather still continues and all
the water-courses are swollen to an
alarming extent.
The farmers are complaining much of
the long-continued wet spell, the like of
which has never been seen before in
these parts. Much fear is felt that an
early frost will follow and damage the
tobacco crop, which now gives promise
OF being the best raised in the county
Tor many years.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN 0 M
. ublic Appearance OF Roman Women in
Defense of Their Property.

Defense of Their Property.
On OCCASION the women of Rome
gathered in numbers and made u public
appeal. The circumstances were these:
The triumvirs, Octavianus, Antony
and Lepidus, had prescribed a large num-
Der of citizens, and they coniiscated and
sold their estates in order to meet the eX-
penses of Il war then going Oh. But land
was a drug in the market, and, besides,
people were unwilling > purchase prop
erty exposed to sale IL consequence of
violent acts.
The sum, therefore, obtained f.e..i the
sales fell far short of the amount re-
quired, and the triumvirs had to look to
other sources of revenue. They accord
ingly passed n decree that LEO Of the
richest women in the city should lay be-
fore them an exact statement of their
means, with severe penalties against con-
cealment or undetya.H lion, and they
claimed the power to oInaiar gny I~ortion
of the wealth thus ref.irteti - them for
paying the expenses Of the wal.
The wome1 were thrown into the ut
most PEI, ,,A:ty al distress, but they
coali fuI lao nia:i t~..:int enough to plead
I'll it cause before the triumrirs.
let to their own resources they went
first OF all to the sister OF Octavianus and
tie mother and wife of Antony. The
sister of Octavianus and the mother of
Antony gave them IL kindly reception,
but Fulyia, the wife OF Antony, drove
them from her door.
Thus insulted, thcy turned to tie tri-
bunal of triumvirs. IIortensia, tie
daughter Of the lannon's orator, IU.:ea-
sius, spoke in their name. She delivered
powerful speech, which is highIy praised
by the great Latin critic, Quintiiiian, and
She succeeded in getting the demands of
the triumvirs reduced to 4 comparatively
small sum
These public appearances of women in
Rome were, Of course, only occasional,
but they were frequent enough to show
hat women had interests OF their own
AMI Ind resolution enough to assert them
when 4seii :. course was necessary.

DUTY UNDER DIFFICULTIES.


JOoIihS y SitcTiH ara setting EooieOs
Here arc two stories of Maine sheriifs.
The first was n little Aroostook man,
and one day he vert with q warrant to
arrest II certain farmer. He found him
in the field and made known his errand.
"All right" said the farmer, Il big,
hurly fellow, "I'm ready" and with that
he lay down at full length on the ground.
But you Cont expect me to carry you,
do you?' asked the sheriff.
Certainly; you must take my body,
you know. ;
"Will you wait till I get II team?"
Cant say" and the upshot was that
the sheriff went back without his pris-
oner.
The other sheriff was Franklin county
man, likewise small, but plucky. He was
sent to arrest Il notorious offender, a eco.
FOUNDER, and found him on the hillside.
Grinning at the c%fiear, he lay back on the
grass, saying:
"If you get me you'll have to takeme."
Quick as awink the sheriff grabbed the
fellow by his feet and started down hill
with him as fast as lie could 90; and the
humping the biz MAJ got soon shook all
the fun out Of him, and he begged to be
allowed to walk quietly by the side of the
sheriff.

Moro Honorcd in The Ereacl, than in the
Observance"

Observance"
The spiIit Of emulation is one OF the
strongest in the human breast. In obedi-
ence to it men frequently risk life, repu-
tation, and even honor itself.
A tourist in Tyrol watched two hot
headed youths, who, having got into some
dispute over money matters, had agreed
to settle it by a rosor0 to what in that
country is called "Fingerhackeln."
This game, or rather struggle, is a sim
pie trial of strength of arm and biceps.
The table is cleared, and the two compel
itors seated opposite each other, with the
table between them, stretch ont their
right hands so as to let them meet in the
centre. Each, bending the middle finger
into the shape of a hook, intwines it with
that of his rival. At a given signal each
begins to pull, the object being to drag
the antagonist across the board.
Both were ~strapping young fellows,
each eager to show off his prowess, and
the fact that they were well-known adj
epts at il, rendered the struggle doubly
interesting. Victory swayca hither and
thither; the most prodigious efforts were
made to wrest the slightest advantage
from the ZOE, the SuDtie FuseS coming
into play, tAo most impossible contortions
Of the body undergone; and yet the issue
seemed as far from decision rs at the very
outset.
With set teeth, rigid features and heav-
ing breasts, the two young fellows tug
and pull, and neither viii givciD. Their
hands are Of an an angry red, the veins
swollen TO double their usual size. while
drops Of perspiration On their foraheads
tell Of their almost ~superhumaa exer-
lions.
Watching the face Of one, the observer
all at once saw q l0ok Of agon;zing pain
shoot across it. His hand dropped: the
struggle was a. an end. Poor fellow. his
finger is manned FOR life. for the princi-
PAL muscle has been tent il the lierco
struggle.
His antagonist, - q sudden ierk,-ons
Of the numerous stratesenns of finger
hackeln,-has succeeded in unbending hil
adversary's finger.
Onc very frequently sees in fyrol a ;aan
with a finger bent nearly double on the
right hand. If you ask the cause, you
will invariably be told that it happened
while "Fingerhackeln."

Remains of the Eionst.ous Beasts Yet
Found III Quantities.
The existence of ivory in Siberia in g
sub-fossil condition, but still sufficiently
durable to be used for all the purposes to
which recent ivory is applied, has been
known since the middle ages, and formed
one of the earliest exports from Siberia to
China.
The very name given to the gigantic
creature which produced it, mammoth or
mammont-probably Il corruption of be-
hemoth-was introduced by the Arab
traders, who initiaied the traffic in fossil
ivory in the 10th century.
TWAS not, however, urtil the middle of
the 18th century that the trade became
considerable. In or about 1850, Liachof,
q Russian merchant, discovered vast
stores Of elephant tusks and bones in the
northern districts ofSiberia and especially
on the islands off the mouth of the Lena,
which have since borne his name. The
ivory brought thence, says the traveller
Wrangell, is .'often as fresh and white as
that from Africa"
Since Liachof's discovery it has been
computed that the tusks of at least 10000
mammoths have been exported, while an

These buried hccatombs of elephants
abound throughout the frozen soil of ST
IBERIA, but they are more numerous the
further we advance northward, and most
plentiful of all on the islands above
named, and in those termed New ST,
IBERIA.

Starch enters largely iuto the compost
ton of many vegetables, and on the prev
alence of this element depends the diges-
tibility of the vegetable. To free this Gle
ment and have it thoroughly incorporate
itself with the other elements in the veg
etable, Il great uaJput of heat Is neces-
sary, and hence it is that all vegetables
shouhl be put down to cook i'll boiling
water.

tritiyc element, aud that steam is tfeonly
agent that should be employed in Rocking
many varieties, potatoes, for instance.
There are rs nlaIiy a~finions against as
for this method, ;nl whl,itundoubtediy
seems probable. eqHillysood results have
been obtained from the oder iiethod.
Chemists say that potatoes should al
ways be boiled in their let's as there
are various elements detrimental to the
w~holesomencss of tie vegetable that are
absorbed by the skin and that the pota-
toes that are peeled STORE boiling retain
some of these elements.
Those who are accustomed to having
the potatoes peeled before being boiled
think they huyca peculiar taste if boiled
in their skins.
OF course, it is all the effect of imagina-
ton, but no amouut of talking will con
vince them of that fact, so if the potatoes
have to be peeled see that quite Il thick
skin is taken eff, because there is q very
bitter acid lodged in cells quite near the
skin, and You must get rid of as much OF
this as possible. The water, of course,
draws most OF this out, but it is not as
effective as the absorbent nature has pro-
yided.
Soft water should be used in cooking
vegetables, and the only way city ok
can soften water is to add II little salt to
it. Six or eight potatoes will need a
spoonful of salt added to the water; tur-
nips and parsnips require about the same,
that is a ~teaspoonful of salt to Il quart of
water.
