The Illinois Cyclone.

The cyclone record for the year begins
terribly and early. One of the iunnel-shaped
clouds, accounts OF which have become
familiar on Sunday broke and let loose it's
fatal wrath upon the town of Mount Vernon,
In Southern Illinois. Within few minutes
of the time when the sky was clear live
hundred houses had been demolished, twenty
five people killed and many more injured.
Two minutes after the blow fell, II the news
is correct, the sky was cloudless again, and
the ruin wrought alone told the story of what
had come aud gone so suddenly.
There have been many disastrous cyclones
within the last decade, but none have
eaualed this in its dire effects. Precautions
may avail with milder storms, but netting
seems able to withstand the blasting and
whitening touch of one of tile kind that
afflicted Mount Vernon. "Ilouses OF all de-
scrptions," 1t is reported, ".ent down like

cleanup and were ready to prance out
into society.
The cause of this revolution in the art
of horse-cleaning, rubbing down and
currying--all in one-is a simple con-
lriyance, a movable shaft mt one end
of which is q circular brush composed
of fairly stiff bristies. The brush.

by the cleaner. Two of these cleaners

As soon as the brush touches the
body of the horse the dirt and dead

the animal in such condition that q
