THE alrlME Is RIPE,


If the people of this section
ever intend to do anything to
secure Northern and Western i'm
migration, now is the time. If
the people of those sections can
ever be induced to emigrate to
the sunny South, ltis now. They
have Just experienced cold wave,
unprecedented in the history of
the country, so severe as not only
to destroy the stock in large
numbers, but even to render life
in that severe climate extremely
uncertain.
The New York Post in an
article on the late blizzard in the
Northwest says:
"Resldents in the Northwest
have always been disposed to rid
icule the idea that they really
ever had any blIzzards in that
country, but the, recent storm was
so widespread and terrible that
there is nothing for them to do
but to 80 to the other extreme
and claim that there is no part of
the world where worse weather
is to be found. This latter claim
would not be unreasonable. Out
side the Arctic circle such arecord
Of suffering as has been made
duriug the past week in Dakota
and the adjoining States is with
cut precedent. The stores of the
fierceness of the storm and the
extent of its rayages would in
deed be incredible if they were
not substantiated by overwhelm-
ing evidence. These dispatches
must inevitably give pause to
many Eastern people who have
been thinking of emigrating to
the Northwest. We have an
occasional hard storm during the
winter In New England and New
York, but the worst on record in
this part of the country seems
hardly more than a summer
zephyr compared with the re-
morseless force of the Western
blizzard"
This IS a rare opportunity for
New England to boast, possessing
as she does a climate of great Sc
verify, in which all business fre-
quently suspends for days, il not
for weeks, at a time. We might
say with equal truthfulness with
the Post, that our seyerest weather
is as an infants breath, compared.

Can any one doubt that, if the

The business men find sloF sales on in

in looking over the stock. remember

eral volumes of books on a line he was
collecting, and sold him 500 worth be-

Two Ways. Choose Which,

There are two usual ways of doing
what Nature sometimes does incom
pletely, namely, to relieve the bowels.
One is to swallow drastic purgative
which evacuates profusely, abruptly
and with pain, the other is to take
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
effect of which is not violent, but
sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grippe the intestines. If the first
is selected, the person employing il
need not expect permanent benefit,
and he cannot hope to escape the
facilitating reaction which leaves the
organs as bad or worse off than be-
fore. If, on the other hand, he re.
sorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon
the restoration of a regular habit Of
body, consequent upon renewal Of
a healthful tone in the intestinal
canal. Besides BEAUTIFULLY relaxing
the bowels, the Bitteis arouse a DOR
mant liver, imparts a beneficial i'm
petus to the action of the kidneys,
and counteracts the early twinges OF
rheumatism, tendency to govt, and
malaria in all its forms.

E1ectrical petectIye Camera.

The relation of electricity to crime,
which began with the invention of bur-

In the shape of an electrical detective
camera, invented by two Newark men.
Their idea is to have the device fixed in
the walls of banking houses behind the
tellers, and so arranged as to photograph
whoever stands at the teller's window, in
case the mans picture is wanted. The
little button that does the work of OPEN
ing the camera shutter, making the ex-
posture, dropping the plate and putting in
new plate, will be under the teller's
desk, so that he can, without betraying
himself, instantly take the picture of any
one who excites his suspicion. This same
camera can be put up in police stations
in the same way, and as the prisoners
are brought In they can be photographed
without knowing it and having a chance
to distort their features when sitting for
the Rocues' Gallery.-New York Sum-.

Sails for the Tricycle..

China, which has got ahead of the
western world in a good many other
things, preceded it in the use of certain
invention, which, In a rather impractical
way, is beginning to be introduced into
Europe. When the first European trav-
elers visited China they found the natives
in certain districts using a kind of wheel
barrow or hand cart which was provided
with a large sail. The sail was spread
when the wind was favorable, and made
the journey of the human propeller much
easier and swifter than it would other
wise have been. These land vessels have
been in use in China from time imme-
mortal.
The use of land sailboats has also pre-
vailed, to a. small extent, in Holland,
where one of the princes of Orange once
won fame for flying chariot" which
he had provided with sails. 1t is the
principle Of these land sailing craft which
an Englishman has lately applied with
great success to large tricycle.. Not
long ago this gentleman and his wife ar
rived at the French city of Rouen on
their winged machine, which excited
great curiosity.
On the front part of the tricycle., which
was an unusually long one, there was
sort of swinging easy chair, made of will
low ware; and in this chair, made very
comfortable by cushions, was the Eng
lishman's wife. Her husband was
seated behind on an ordinary tricycle.
saddle, and was working the treadles
swiftly and easily. Above the two was
spread large sail, rugged to a light but
stout bamboo mast. When the wind
was in his back, the tricycler put up his
his mast and spread his sail; when it
was unfavorable, he took in the sail and
"housed" his mast, placing it length
wise along the machine.
. The Englishman and his wife had
Travelled that day from Honfieur to
Rouen, distance of eighteen leagues.
AS they carried considerable baggage, the
feat would have been impossible without
the assistance Of the sail. The English
man said that for part of the way with
n smooth road and favorable breeze, he
did not have to work the treadles at all,
and found it delightful travelling. The
wheelman believes that sailing tricycles
viii come into general use. He says he
knows no reason why the wind should
not be made to work on the land as well
as on the sea.-Youth's Companion.
