r N CLIMArE.

Climate is undoubtedly affected some
what BY cultivation Of the soil. In the
Eastern states, where the work OF re-
moving the timber is going on with
alarming rapidity, it is noticed that eli
matte changes are more sudden and VIC
lent, and that storms are far more de-
structive than ever. 1t Is not unfair to
charge much Of the cyclonic disasters of
recent times to this cause in conjunction
with favorable astronomical conditions.
This Isl subject that mankind will
yet find it wise and necessary to inyesti-
gate.
It is even now noticed that cultivation
OF the soil, planting Of trees and the
general Improvement of civilization
have already had q marked influence in
modifying the climate of the southern
sections of Dakota. Old settlers on the
east side Of the Missouri say that within
q few years the changes have been very
decided, and that seeding is now begun
month earlier than formerly.

A Duel i'm ; railway station.

A duel in q railway station is q novel ex-
perience, but two men who arrived in Paris
some days ago from Versailles. and had
fallen out during the trip. treated their
fellow passengers to such a spectacle on
alighting from the train. Each happened
to be provided with q sword umbrella, and
after q hot alteration in the waitine-room
they proceeded to the big hall, drew their
weapons, put themselves in positions, and
began to lunge at each other with all the
energy Of which they were capable. The
bystanders looked ON for q few moments in
utter bewilderment; but soon, q largecrowd
having collected, steps Were taken to separ-
ate the belligerents. The task was effected
with no little difficulty, as the CONTESTANTS
had thoroughly warmed to their work, and
each had received slight wounds.

THE LESSON OF BRAIDwooD.

placed by these thousanl fighting for

as they ere starving when they were

Meantime the clerks and other honest
citizens and infants of the state must
put down their work and hurry to Braid
wood In regiments Of militia to nut down
the insurgents. Italians who learned Init
last year OF the glories of protection will
DO what they can to overcome the COM
monwealth. 1t is not difficult to foretell
outcome, for experience teaches that

It is said that twelve millions of chill

tion in public schools on the influence of
alcohol and other stimulants as well as
narcotics. Total abstinence is favored in
all cases by this instruction, and there Is

come forward with a prejudice against
drinking habits. All the New England

Corporal Tanner has already announc-
ed that there will be a deficiency of at
least $15,OOOyOOO on account of pensions
during the fiscal year beginning July 1,
and he is trying to make it appear that
the late Commissioner Gen. Black is re-
sponsible for it. To anyone familiar
with the rulings of Tanner and of AS
sistant Secretary of the Interior Bussey,
who hears appeals, there is no difficulty
in placing the responsibility for this de-
fciency. VIZ shall be greatly surprised
If 1t isn't nearer $25,OOO,OOO than $751;
100000; and besides it is said there is a
large deficiency for the current fiscal
year, ending June 80, about which Tan
ner has said nothing.

A DEOLINrNa INDUsTRY.

The Bristol, Pa, wooden mill has sus.
tanned a disastrous failure, forced there.
to by the war tariff on wool, declares the
Omaha Herald. Its chief proprietor, a
staunch Republican, wildly declared In
the last campaign that If Cleveland was
elected he would sell his mill at % per
cent. of its cost. The mill has been sold
by assignee for a pittance-only 10 per
cent. Of what it cost to erect and
equip it.
The truth is that while the tariff re-
mains so high on wool, mills for manu-
featuring wo0lens are not desirable
property. In the past nina years it is
closely estimated there has been a shrink
age Of over $1~OO.OOO,OOOi in the capital in
vested in wooden mills In this country,
using the census returns as a basis for
calculations. Scarcely q wooden mill is
ever rebuilt when destroyed by fire or ac-
cident. No new mills are erected. And
those which do remain are Idle from three
to six months In the year.
At the banks wooden mills are not con-
sidered desirable security for loans. The
cause Of this Is that the government
exacts too large a percentage from the
Of the wooden manufacturers en-
terprise. II he imports 100000 medium
grade wools in a year he pays 100000 Of
the amount into the OVERLOOKING public
treasury. This is no exaggerated state
ment, and the Herald" predicts that IL
The present high tariff on wool con-
ten years longer the wooden in
in this country will be entirely
destroyed.

He is Skilled in Poker.

From the Buffalo Courier" Itmay not
be generally known, but America can boast
Of few better poker players than is Robert
Todd Lincoln, minister plenipotentiary and
envoy extraordinary to the court OF st.
james. In this respect he is q worthy sue
cessor OF the famous Robert e. Schenck.
In fact, MIR. Lincoln served q long poker ap-
premiership to Mr.. Schenck. It vas mot
an unusual thing for Mr.. Lincoln, when
Secretary OF War, to approve in the morn.
ing court-martial proceedings against army
officers charged with gambling, and in the
evening to join the venerable Schenck in
studying the fine points OF poker. It must
be- greatgratifcation to Robert e. Schenck,

pupil, Robert T. Lincoln, standing in the

Keystone club is especially called to the
as the relief to be rendered will
be principally to natives Of their own
