The Weather for 1889.

Prof. c. G. Blake, the Kansas wealth
er prophet whose predictions regarding
these regions during 1883 have been so
accurate as to entitle his theories to
more than ordinary consideration, is
now engaged on his almanac and sci
entific tables for 1889. The slmsnacs
and tables can be had by sending to
Mr.. Blake, Topeka, Kan. In his
prospectus for 1889 Mr., Blake says:
The weather next year will be just
what the people generally do not ex
pect. and for which most Of them will
be unprepare'. There will be very
great floods and still more fearful
drouths. We give the most exact
figures possible In our "Tables for
1887 for the information'of all. Our
new book will be much larger than
any almanac We have ever published
and we shall drop the name "Al.
manacn and call il Blake's Weather
Tables for 1883. We would not be
justified in publishing the figures for
1859 as fully as We do except for the
tact that we have tested them for the
past thirteen years and know that
they can be relied upon IN the msin,
though minor details may not always
be exact. More money can be mad
in n bad crop season, If We only man
age with due forethought. In season
OF good ordinary weather everybody
will have good crops and prices will
he very low; hut in year Of weather
extremes the masses will raise very
little and prices will he high. If the
intelligent aud thoughtful wisely lay
tneir plans in accordance with nature,
ana with refersnce TO the coming
weather which nature has planned for
us, they can still raise big crops aud
get big prices, while the slothful will
simply "hold on and growl."

Lightning Capers.

The peaceful village Of Terry was
startled from its accustomed serenity
on Thursday afternoon by a message
from the clouds, which though
unintelligible was sufficiently vehe-
ment 10 attract attention. About
two O'clock in the afternoon
thunder and hail storm Of unusual
severity passed over the town and
while at its height bolt of lightning
struck the school house, in which
there was at the time the teacher, Miss
Annie Howard. and some twenty
scholars. The lightning came down
the chimney flue to where 1t ended
and then separated, part of the charge
passing outside and part going through
the floor Gf the school house. The
shattering of the chimney sent the
rubbish flying around and Miss How
ard was bit on the head with a fraR-
ment, inhicting slight scalp wound.
There were no other casualties inside
the house. though several OF the schol-
srs were rendered nsensible from the
shock. That part Of the bolt that
went outside the house found victim
in a horse belonging TO Mr.. j. h.
Kempton which was tied In the rear
of the school house, right where the
deadly fluild made It's exit. The
horse was killed instantly. The
storm was Of very short duration. aud

Bravery Of Benedict Arnold.

Now, as Burgoyne retreated to the
British "great redoubt." leaving nearly
sll his cannon on the field, Gen. Ten
Brock threw 5000 fresh New York mill

Here the unrestrained ambition of Gen.
Arnold showed itself in a series Of daring
achievements which touch the reader
Of history with admiration and pity. Re
fused command in the morning by
Gen. Gates, he could no longer keep in
the rear. Mounted on fine, brown horse,
he led first a brigade at the right and
then one at the left in impetuous
charges ON the British position.

Rowland. thinks that you are taking

Rowland also praotced legerdemain on

a wonder among them. He fixed up a
trick pistol, and by turning q spring
could take out the bullet lie used TO
mark the bullet, and taking IL cut OF the

Tho Story Of the Ros.s

The name rose comes direTly from
the Latin, and through the Latin Srom
the Greek. In its first form il is sp-
posed to have been derived from the
color red. In its different forms it has
given its name to many lands, Syria or
Suristan is thought TO be derived from
the name d a beautiful and delicate
species of rose, the surf, which grows in
that country. Gulistan comes from the
Persian name, gul. rose, and Rhodes, tt>
island made so famous by the valiant de-
Tense against the Turks by the Knights
Of st. John, means the land or the place
Of roses. The rose has popularity beeh
supposed TO be indigenous to oriental
countries. ''Born in the east, it has been
diifused like the sunlight all over the
world" Esop told the gardener of his
master Xanthus that 'the earth is step
mother to those plants incorporated into
her soil, but a mother to those which
are her own free product"
Where the wild rose aourishes, there
all other roses will grow. And the wild
rose, in spite of so much prating TO the
contrary, seems to be indigenous TO all
the world, in the temperate zones. eN
cept Australia and South America. These
countries are among the youngest con-
tinents of our earth geologically and the
Rosacee are the latest comers in time.

besides roses, most of the hardy fruit

West Indies Finest Mixed Race.

A population fantastic, astonishine-a
population Of the Arabiar Nights. As
The general tone of the town " Fellow, so
is the general tint Of the peoplt fellow,
in the interblending of all the hues char
acterizing gritfone, mulatresse, metisse,
messive, chahine, capresse, gradroon-
a general effect Of rich brownish yellow.
You are in a population of half breeds,
the finest mixed race of the Antilles.
Tall. supple, straight as palms, these
colored women and men impress you
powerfully by their dignity of carriage
and easy elegance of motion. They
walk without any swinging Of the shoul-
ders; the perfectly set torso seems 10 re-
main rigid; yet the step is long, full
stride. and the whole weight is poised
springily on the very tip of the bare foot.
All, or nearly all, are without sho--; the
passing of all these hundreds Of laked
feet makes a great whispering sound
over the burning pavements.
But what produces the most novel i'm
preston on the stranger is the singularity
and brilliancy of the womens coetumes.
They were developed at least hundred
years ago by a curious sumptuary law,
regulating the dress of slaves and col
ored people of free condition, a law
which allowed considerable liberty as to
material and tint, prescribing only form.
But these fashions suggest the Orient;
they offer beautiful audacities Of color
constrasts; and the coiffure, above all, is
10 strikingly eastern that you cannot
help wondering whether 1t was not firss
introduced into the colony by some No
hammedan negro slave. .-Lafcadio Hearn

The "Home-Maker."

This is the title OF a new monthly
magazine, the November number of
which has been received. When we
remark that Marion Harland is the
editor We say that the publication is
not only excellent, but that it will at
once step into popularity. Mrs. Chris
tian Terhune- Herrick and Grace
Peckham, NJ D., are associate editors,
while the contributors include such
names as Rose Terry Cooke, Harriet
Prescott Spofford, Kate Epson Clark
and Alexander Black. What is also of
importance in this age is the fact that
the magazine appears in presentab'e
dress mechanically and artistically,
the paper being of first quality, the
illustrations good and the arrangement
attractive. Attractive as women are
themselves, as rule their publications
are awkward, inartistic and ugly in ap-
pearance. The Home Maker is well
come departure in. this respect. The
matter is arranged in various depart
ments, as Home Literature, with the
Housewife, Household Health, Arm
Chair and Footstool, etc., there being
one or more contributors in each. We
wish it success and believe it will
have it.

LITERATURE.
Holiday Books,

When one of literary inclination and
artistic taste sees what the publishers
are doing he thinks it worth a good
deal to live in this age; and when he
compares the choice and costly vol
umes of his childhood with the pro-
ducts of to-day, he knows it is worth
much to be here at this time. Compe
tition has done everything for the pub
lie in this matter of fine books, simu-
lating the paper makers, the printers,
the artists, the binders and in fact all
who can be utilized by the publisher, to
extraordinary effort. The holiday
season is the time when the results of
the rivalry are spread before the public.
AS this season recurs, the people regard
perfection as having been reached, and
wonder what will be done next; the
publishers, however, simply do not
know how to stop and be content.
Every year sees the previous efforts
eclipsed, and the holiday volumes of
the last laid in the shade. A glance at
the catalogues and into the book
stores, shows that the publish
ers have been at the same

thoughtfully considered. AS usual the
old Boston house of Lee & Shepard
lead, presenting for the season some in
comparable works. Among these are
"a Christmas Carol" and New Years
both by Dinah Maria Mulock. They
ere illustrated in sepia tints by J. Paul
inc Sumter, gilt-edged and ribboned,
making two absolutely delicious gift
books. A gem in art and daintiness is
calendar. The artist named above has
charmingly illustrated the months in
sepia, and the cards, lined with silk
cord and rings, is suspended by sill
vered chain. Nothing prettier can be
imagined. But perhaps the most lux
urious of Lee & Shepard's holiday vol
umes is "Days Serene" The artist,
Mrs. Margaret Macdonald Pullman,
has illustrated lines from Lowell, Whit
tier, Tooker, Marquand, +. D. Sher
man, Glider, Southey, Goethe, Tenny-
son, Gray and a dozen other of the
poets, selecting such lines as can be
told with flowers, trees, meadows,
lakes, brooks and birds, and these pic
lures, each a gem, have been done in the
masterful wood engraving of the time.
1t was the artist mind which conceived
the idea and the artist hand that exc
cuted it. The publishers have spared
nothing which could add to the luxuri-
BUSINESS of this volume, which comes on
rich paper, with gilt edge and bound IN
cloth and silver.
