The Ealth's Cloud Belts.

The researches Of NJ. Teisserenc de
Bort show marked tendency of the
earth's cloudiness throughout the year
to arrange itself in zones parallel to the
equator. A belt OF maximum cloudi-
ness may be traced near the equator,
two bands Of light cloudiness extending
from Is to 81 degs. of latitude north and
south, and two zones Of greater cloudi-
ness between ~ and so degs., beyond
which the sky seems to become clearer,
toward the poles. These zones have a
noticeable tendency to follow the sun in
its change Of declination, moving north
ward in spring and southwark in fall.
The zones Of clear sky correspond with
regions Of high pressure The distribu-
ton OF cloudiness Is direct consequence
Of the course of the winds. --Arkansaw

Count Kalnoky,s One Finger Trick.

Count Kalnoky has been trying the
one finger trick Of his once too often,
and has received lesson which he will
not forget In q hurry. The count has q
very exalted notion Of his own dignity,
especially on official occasions, and has
habit Of extending only one finger to
diplomatists under the first rank. At
Vienna few days ago he met man,
well known in London circles for the
facility with which he has run through
two fortunes, and is now ardently
angling for third. The count had fra
ternixed with Gtis individual on the neu-
trial ground Of London drawing rooms
and had frequently dined with him.
But In Viennese diplomatic circles the
count did not consider it necessary to
maintain the friendship. and on meet
ing his old chum cooliy extended
the stereotyped forehnger. The other
gazed for q moment through the
eyegiass which he always wears,
&c the rigid digit, and then as
cooIIy advanced his own forefnger,
and with it touched somewhat gingerly
that Of the count. The latter blushed
furiously, and scanned the faces Of those
around to see If notice had been taken
oe the greeting. OF course. there we're
smiles, which were checked as soon as
possible; but the lesson was well merited,
and should be taken to heart. London

One Of Pompeil's Victims.

A few days afterwards returned for
another day at Pompeii. The impression
was greater than ever before. The city
and the hill now came into relations with
one another I'm way hitherto unfelt.
There was fearful reality about the
narrowing spectacle In the museum near
the gate of Pompeii. The slender, grace
ful form of that woman who presses her
forehead against her arm as she lies face
downward and gasps for breath; the
untold agony In the features Of the pros
trate man, who seems still gasping for
life, that last figure In a line of charred
human forms which lie before us, rs per-
feet as they were when entombed in the
falling ashes--all these speak to lib and
bring us terribly near to these men and
women of centuries ago. Theirs was
indeed an awful nlartyrdom. But the
Gre, which brought death to Pompeii,
bestowed upon IL Immortality. Today
Pompeii lives, while thousands Of cities
which have been spared have persisted
and passed forever. Cor. Bos-

New York.. Enormous Charities.

New Ymk's charities are something
enormous. That million of dollars are
given to the poor Of this city every year
could easily be shown, but that doesn't
touch the question. This matter IS some
thing that affects cur social structure
from corner stone to cap sheaf. It Ia
employment these people need. Self
support is the first essential in the great
problem Of self respect No man who
lives on borrowed money, no man who is
the recipient of continuous charity, can
respect himself. The meanest and cheap
est man who walks the streets has his
moments OF sober thought. and it is these
moments Of sober thought which will
ultimately breed trouble in this city

Capt. Custer and the Chief.

1t is well known that the treacherous
chief Rain-in-the-Face had sworn that he

Fort Lincoln to bring him in. The
sergeant was compelled to return with
out his prisoner. The general then said
to his brother, Tom, go to Standing
Rock and bring back Rain in hc-F Face or
leave your own body there. The cap.
tain. who never refused to obey orders,
started on his errand with detail of cav
airy.
ut SO happened that the day ne
reached Standing Rock was the day on
which rations were Issued at the agency.
There were fully 5000 Indians at the
place. Capt. Custer placed his detail SO
as to surround the trading post He dis
mounted, and, with q revolver i'll one
hand and sword in the other, entered
the building. When he got inside he

crowded with friends Of the chief. The
captain then told the interpreter TO point
out Rain-ip-the-F Face. This was done,
and stepping up to him the intrepid
cavalry officer placed the muzzle OF his
revolver at the Indians head and said:
g 'Rain-in-th Face, I want YOU. II
you make an attempt to escape I'll shoot
you. II your friends interfere I will
blow your brains out. l have but one
life to lose, and il they shoot me you will
