The YOUNGSTERS Servant.

The spectacle Of trim, shapely, well
bred looking young woman walking
down Fifth avenue behind an over
dressed child Of perhaps twelve years Of
age and carrying the youngsters school
books, has been observed by social stu
dents on several occasions lately. It
seems to be the proper thing with chill
dren of the smart set, but it Is not an
altogether cheerful and encouraging
sign of the times. These young women
are not governesses, unless they come
under the English designation of nursery
governesses, for the children go to school
and presumably are taught something
when they get there; nor are the young
women maid servants, and they are very
rarely, it would appear, of foreign ex-
traction. In country like England,
where poor girls of good family consent
to accept positions which, If not mental,
are given mental suggestivenees, there Ii
the Unborn British respect for rank and
money to condone what seems to be rath-
er unworthy service. But In this glori-
Gus republic of independence and equal
ity the sight is not a pleasant one. Times
must be hard when American girls sell
their birthright and self respect for a
mess of pottage. New York Star.

The New Danger Against Which No Human
Skill Can Afford Protection.
New York Herald: The phenomena
of cloud burst, which can only &C.
cur in Il tornado or WhirIwind, ARE not
generally understood, The whirl in
which it forms is not very broad and
shallow disk, but q tall, culumnar mass
of retaining air, similar TO that in
which the Atlantic waterSpOut or The
famous pillar lake dust stormsof India
is generated. While this travelling
serial pillar, perhaps u few hundred
yards in diameter, is rapidly gyrat.
ing, the centrifugal force, as Prof.
Eerrel has shown acts as barrier to
prevent the flow of external air from
all sides intOits INTERIOR. except at and
near the base of the pillar. There
friction with the earth retards the
.gyrattong and allows the air to rush
in below and escape up wards through
the fue-like interior as powerful
ascending currents.
The phenomenon, however, will not
be attended by terrific floods unless
the atmosphere is densely stored with
water vapor, as it was on Tuesday in
the Cayadutta valley and as it was on
May 81 in the Conemaugh valley.
When such is the case the violent
ascending currents suddenly lift the
vapor-laden clouds, several thousand
feet above the level at which they
were previously floating and hurl
them along into rarified and cold
regions of the atmosphere, where their
vapor is instantly condensed into
many tons of water. Could the water
fall as fast as condensed it woald be
comparatively harmless. But the
continuous uprushing currents sup
port this mass of water at the high
'evel, and as-their own vast volun es
of Vapor rising are condensed they add
to the water already accumulated
thousands of feet above the earth s
surface making, so to speak, lake
in high air.

A SENTIMENTAL STRUGGLE.

Admiration for Edgar Allan Poo NhicA
Caused u Youn. Man Some Worry.
The battle between William Fearing
ellis sentimental emotions and his purse,
which have been at odds for two months,
came to q close finish today, with senti-
mentality in the lead by full length.
Gill, who married sister of Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt. has long figured be-
fore the public as great admirer Of
poetry, especially of Edgar Allan Poe's,
and is something of q writer himself.
In April last Gill attended the auction
sale OF q cottage in which Poe once lived
at Fordham. He became excited and
kept bids running high, as he determined
to be tho owner Of the picturesque little
cottage. He finally bid $4,000, and the
bidding stopped Gill made tho remark
that it was almost blasphemy to DO any
thing so rude as to auction Off the home
If the greatest genius that ever lived.
Gill could entertain no ideas that day but
these of sentiment, and having secured
the cottage, he tossed his card to the
auctioneer, and started away without re-
gard to the requirement that 10 per cent.
Of the purchase money should he paid on
tho spot. Two weeks elapsed before he
paid the 10 per cent.
1t was not long before the arrival Of
May 15-tho date for completing the pur-
chase. Then ellis sentimental reveries
were disturbed by a letter from Lawyer
Swanton, stating that If the payment
was inconvenient q mortgage would be
taken on the cottage.
"What" exclaimed Gill, when he
called on the lawyer, "a mortgage on
tho dwelling place Of the great poet
Never. bought the property purely
out of sentiment"
The extension of time was granted
but the lawyers received no further cal
from Gill. Finally Swanton wrote g
heartless letter, saying that if the lucre
was not forthcoming by June IS the sale
would be declared off. The date passed
and arrangements were made for anoth
er auction, when loud voice cried
stop, I'll not allow that sacred proper
ty to be again desecrated. Here is YOU

This tragic scene took ploce in thu

AS the whirlwind weakens or passes
from beneath this vast body of water
which it's ascending currents have
generated and upheld IN the upper
story of the atmosphere, the aqueous
mass, no longer supported, drops
with ever increasing gravitatlonal
force to the earth. In several cloud
bursts the water does not fall as rain
but in sheets and streams; sometimes
unbroken for many seconds. The
cloud bursts of 1888, ut Hollidaysburg,
Pa, eXcavated many holes in the
ground vary Nc from twenty-five to
thirty feet in diameter, and from three
to six feet deep. In q similar but
milder storm, which visited BOulogne
last May, assures were cut III the
streets eight feet deep and openings
made large enough to engulf Il horse
and cart.
1t will be seen that human skill can
afford little or no protection against
such terrific force. We may guard
against ordinary floods, and even cy
clones, but when an immense volume
of water suddenly descends in solid
body from mid-air nothing can stand
against it. The fate Of the two Johns
towns may befall any other town. 1t
is not safe to say that, because a
region has heretofore escaped such
visitatiohs, it will always be exempt.

Area Of Cultivated Land,

Some interesting statements regarding
che extension of the area Of cultivated
land In the United States are presented
in the May report Of the statistician of
the department of agriculture. It APP
pears that the area under the four prin-
cipal arabic crops-corn, wheat, oats and
coAton-increased from 1873, 100000 acres
in 1879 to 159, 900, 900 acres III 1885. This
represents an expansion in nine years Of
the area under these crops Of 81 100000
acres, or an extent of land more than
equaling the entire area Of the three
northern Few England states. The ill.,
crease in the area under corn, oats ana
cotton is greater than the total area Of
the state of Ohio. This striking result
leads the statistician to make the further
calculation that if the increase in all
titled and grass land has been in the
same proportion as that in the four crops
mentioned we have now total area of
improved lands in farms of 356, 900, 900
acres, as compared with 285 ,000. 900 acres
in 1878, or an increase almost equal to
the total surface area of New England
New York and New Jersey, equaling the
entire area Of improved land in 1880 to
the eleven cotton states, with the addi-
ton Of Delaware and Maryland The
figures of the coming census dealing
with the agricultural area should present
some interesting comparisons with those

Building and Loan Associations.

The vast majority Of city jewellers rent
their houses and never have permanent

zion. Building and loan associations have
grown into prominence as remedy, and

Mrs. Sanbury, of the Social Science as
