War on Short Trousers,

81 am down on the mothers who per-
sist in rearing their boys in short trou-
sers, and have been making a war on
them-the trousers, not the mothers.
We employ large number of messen-
gers in our office. One of the new ar
rivals came down with his knee breeches
and l asked him if he had any others. He
said he hadn't. l told him to go home
and tell his mother that he couldn't
have the job unless she put him in long
trousers. l saw nothing of him for sew
eral days. Then he came in with a
smile all over his face and he said in
boys triumphant way: i got 'em.
Mother didn't want to get 'em but 1
told her it was long trousers or no work,
and then she got 'em. I'm much obliged
to you for gettin' me into 'em. Hadn't
been for you I'd never had EN- 1t
is my observation that as long as you
keep boy in short trousers he grows
up with sort of notion that some mis-
take was made in his sex and he ap-
pears to resent it by not being worth a
continental. "A Business Man, in Chi
cago Tribune.

THE SUN AND STORMS.
Connection Between Solar Disturbances
and atmospheric Phenomena.

Connection Between Solar Disturbances
and atmospheric Phenomena.
Prof. Balfour Stewart, of England,
and other scientists have long been of
the opinion that the periodic disturb
ances on the sun, called sun-spots, have
a physical or magnetic connection with
the storms on earth. The coincidence
between the solar disturbances and the
terrific storms of the past summer, to
go no further back, is striking, and to
scientists almost forces the conclusion
of physical connection. On the fif-
teenth OF March certain sun spot
showed intense action, and at that time
the great Samoan hurricane occurred.
wrecking the war-ships of the United
States and Germany in the harbor of
Apia. On the twenty-ninth and thir-
tieth of May the solar disturbance re-
appeared, and another series of storms
was reported by telegraph from all
quarters of the globe. brought most
wildly to our recognition by the cloud
burst in the mountains aoove Johns
town, Pennsylvania, which swept away
the South Fork Dam, and deluged the
valley of the Conemaugh, destroying
from eight thousand to ten thousand
lives. On the second of June water
spout flooded the districts of Chan
Ping and Ping-Yuen, China, drowning
six thousand people. A cyclone swept
the coast of New Jersey and Long
Island during the second week in Sep
TENDER, when the revolution of the sun
brought about another period of dis
turbance. A spot of medium size was
then passing over the face of the sum-
which had, when near the edge of the
sun, very pronounced facule. The i'm
preston of some scientific men is that
while sun-spots are connected with
storms, the facuIG are accompanied
with increase of electricity; but only
continued observations can correct or
confirm such impressions.-Demorest's

Over twenty thousand of these mon
sters have been taken in historic times,
mostly from the shores of Siberia and
the New Siberian Islands, which were
evidently a famous grazing place for
them. A number of specimens have
been preserved by the ice so perfectly
that whom the body was weathered out
it was devoured by bears and wolves
and the eyes and brain taken out and
preserved by naturalists. The tissues
of the brain were so perfect that they
could not be distinguished from those
of living forms. One perfect specimen
has been examined within fifty years.

FRIENDS EXTRAORDINARY.
A Fierce Cat and an Ugly Rat
That Play aud Romp Together.


That Play and Romp Together.
A rat and cat may be seen playing to-
gether any day at DE Wits livery
stable in Louisville, at Seventh and
jefferson streets. The cat is big
black Tom, with long whlskers, q
short tail, and yellow eyes. The rat is
a sleek and fat specimen Of the genus
rodent, and has cunning but prosper
Gus and contented look. The cat
is ferceness and savagery itself,
and bears the scars Of innumera-
BILE battles, not alone with rats and
other felines, but with dogs as well. and
he has never been whipped and has
never been known to decline fight.
The rat was caught in wire trap one
night last week. He was so uncOnl-
monty large and looked so ugly as he
stood ND on his hind legs and ratified the
wires of his cage that his captOrs re-
solved to have some sport with him and
Tom. The cat and he were accordingly
taken over to neighboring saloon, the
doors closed. holes stopped up, and
select few gathered to witness the fight.
When the rat was turned loose from
the cage Tom was ready and bounced
upon him instanter. To the surprise
of all, however, he did not hurt him.
His claws were sheathed, and he plainly
invited romp. The rat did not under
stand his advances at first, but was soon
treasured, and would finally run from
the men to the cat for protection. In
short time they became fast friends.
They now play together constantly.
and seem to understand each other per-
fectly. The rat climbs all over Toms
back, pulls his ears and tail, and treats
his big friend with the utmost freedom.
Both spend the greater part of their
time under the stove in The stable Office.
and large numbers of visitors go there
to witness the unusual friendship be-
tween such natural enemies.
