identified with the Kentucky mission, and
for seven years he was located at st. Mar
tins, Meade county, and at Elizabethtown,
Hardin county, Ky.
About ten years ago he changed the field
of his labors and went to Peoria, Ills. He
served on the diocese of Illinois at Watega
and Danville, and in 1881 he went to Ottawa,
where he filled the vacancy caused by the
transfer of the Rev. Patrick Terry to Chi
cago DIR. Terry's successor filed his place
very successfully, and the church prospered
under his administration.
His appointment as bishop of Alton was
recently announced from Rome.

= A tornado can be foreseen from few

measures can easily be taken to reduce the
danger to a minimum.
J. The tornado, hurricane and cyclone are
radically different, though confused in the
popular mind.
The only cyclones known to the United
States originate in the ocean southeast; they
travel first northwest, then change gradually
to north and northeast, whirling as they 20
The tornado, on the other hand, invariably
travels to the east and north. Now, the one
astonishing fact to the reader who has not
examined the subject, is that the signal
service officer has tolerably full account of
every destructive tornado for 125 years; and
that map of their course and frequency is
made, which is as easy Of comprehension as a
map Of our rivers. Indeed, the reader may
make cur:ously interesting map for him
self if he has the newspaper files for, say, ten
years past. Let him note each tornado re-
ported in that time-and he will be amazed
at the number, often as high as twenty in a
year-and put a black mark on its location
on the map. He will find this somewhat
ominous result: The lines Of black spots will
run out like the arms of an octopus, now mar
rowing and now widening; but from all sides
they will concentrate toward the central Sec
tion Of the Missouri valley-there is the
rioting place Of the tornado.
But even near the center Of the belt there
are limited sections which enjoy peculiar
exemption. The people long ago came to the
conclusion that a high bluff on the east side
of ariver had tendency to ''h'ist the harry
cane'' and make it safer for few miles east
ward, and Lieut.. Finley's map confirms it.

escaped, and nearly all of Piedmont, Va

All the speeches Were Of an intensely patri-

elected loud applause. Some 500 persons
were present, including Gen. Horace Porter,
who made the most humorous speech of the
evening, and many other prominent Yam

welcoming speech, which was responded to
by Mr.. Hugh L. Cole, who touchingly alluded
to New York as the city of refuge to which
many ruined southerners turned their steps

at the late banquet showed that the object

Bismarck the other day talked to the Ger

by putting every one not a cripple in the
RANKS OF the German army, and regarding
tne rest OF the German people as a vast res
ervolr from which to draw military supplies.
Youth has usually been looked upon as a
Diesslng, but in Germany youth simply means
army service for the men and separation
from husbands and sweethearts for the
women. From II to 42 is the period in Ger
many IN which men are either serving in the
army or have served. Three years of active
service is first required. If the soldier learns
easily ne may get away at the end Of two
years, but if he is stupid and treads on the
heels of the '.dle" he s'covers," /" or stumbles or
pokes him with his bayonet, he must serve
three years. He is not entirely free for the
next four years, for he must go back to
service for about four months for each year.
At IS he goes into the landwehr, where he is
let alone, except for some six weeks of each
year. At 42 he is free, and may be con-
sidered in condition to stop drilling and be-
gin life. But beyond the landwehr is the

Foot Rot in Sheep.

Foot rot in sheep is an exceedingly

Infected of its flesh and decreases its value,
though not always, by any means, fatal
The general impression is that foot rot is
contagious. The editor of The Massachu-
setts Ploughman says on the subject:
"Perhaps the ordinary foot rot is not con-
tagious, but the .epizootic foot rot, or
smurrain,' is clninently SO. The foot
rot is found only on low or moist
grounds, and probably arises from the
hoof not wearing down, as it does on
stony ground, but growing to an unusual
length because of the warmth and moist
ure of the soil. In Massachusetts tho
sheep arc kept upon dry, rocky pastures,
which are best fer the shcep;so that cases

fond of children"
sOh, yes; no doubt they are nice, but a
hotel is no place for them unless it be de
voted exclusively to the use of families.
There are not more than half dozen first
class hotels in this city where children are
welcome. In the first place, they are more
trouble than they are worth, and in the sec
Ond place they serve to keep away prOtita-
BILE patrons. Now in every hotel from one
end Of the town to the other notices are
posted in all the rooms to the effect that
children must not make a playground of the
corridors or ride in the elevators for the
sake of enjoying pleasure excursions. 1t
is impossible TO infOrce either rule. With
one or two exceptions New York hotels are
largely patrOnized by business men from
other cities. These are the transient
guests, and they are the most profitable.
They do not, as rule, take their families,
and, although they may be fond of their
own offspring, they decidedly object to put
up at a hotel where other peoples youngsters
are whOoping things up in the corridors,
or upsetting dishes in the dining room.
