One of the most remarkable cases Of
the power Of the gale of 1903 in Erg-
land was the removal of a stone of four
hundredweight, which lay sheltered un-
der bank, to distance Of seven yards.
On the Kingsoote estate, in Gloucester,
600 tees, all about eighty feet in height,
were thrown down within compass Of
five acres. The storm was accompanied
by thunder and lightning and water
spouts. A clergyman, writing from Bes-
selsleigh, says:
"0n Friday, November 26, in the af-
ternoon, about four of the clock, coun-
try fellow came running to me in great
fright, and very earnestly entreated me
to go and sec pillar, as he called it, in
the air in field hard by. l went with
the fellow, and when l came found it to
be spout marching directly with the
wind. And can think of nothing can
compare it to better than the trunk of an
elephant, which tresembled-onlym much
bigger 1t was extended to a great
length, and swept the ground as it went,
leaving mark behind. 1t crossed

which should scarce have been induced
to believe had not myself seen it. be-
sides several countrymen, who were as
tonished at it,, meeting with an oak that
stood towards the middle Of the field,
snapped the body of it asunder. After
wards, crossing road, it sucked up the
water that was in the cartruts. Then,
coming to an old barn, it tumbled il
down, and the thatch that was on the
top was carried about bythe wind, Wick
was then very high and in great confu-
sion. After this l followed it no fur

Ohio, l left him to have shoe set, and

Opiuh-E Eating in India.

In almost any village of Juzerat, if
not in ali, you may see among the Hin
docs, the listless, apathetic manner and
dull, sleepy eye of the opium eater.
Anywhere here II is only necessary TO
ask for a Little kasaarnlsa to be offered il
on all sides. The mode of making that
drink is not pleasant to see. A little
crude opium is produced and placed on
small ball of raw cotton. The maker
holds this in tho palm of his hand and
pours a little ssStcr on it. He kneads
the opium into dhe wet cotton and goes
on pouring watdr till the cotton is satu-
rated with Iown fluid. He then
squeezes it out Is from a sponge into the
palm of his hanll and you are invited to
sit on the grou5d while he pours the dir
ty stuff into yolr mouth from still
dirtier hand. The opium cater is always
dirty. These people ask but little food.
Opium caters have no appetite. They
will work just as much as they are com
PEELED to do in order to procure their
dug. Ask them why their fields arc un-
cultivated or half-tillcd, and they say,
Look at the labor we should have to
undertake. They listlessly drag one
foot after another, silent and asleep. In
one village the reply gwen to an in
quirer, who asked if the people were
well off, was, "How could we be when
opium is so dear!a No wonder the ac
tive little Mahrattas walked through the
country. More than half the outlawry
of the province is due to opium snug

aged to keep to certain extent free

reason that we peel a potato. To do
this, previous TO baking, after soaking
the beans as usual over night or longer,

troublesome plan is TO boil the beans in
stead of baking them and rub them
through colander. Beans should be
cooked at least eight hours, and prefer
ably longer" "

Romance Of a Poor Young Man.

In the summer of 1885 Frank c.
Brownbridge, a restaurant cashier, pass
ing through Madison Square, New York
City, late at night, noticed a fine looking
young fellow half asleep on one Of the
benches and looking very much dis.
tressed. Making inquiries he found that
the stranger was Courtney Fielding Law
ton, the son of an English clergyman.
Lawton's father had died and left him
with no legacy but a good education.
He had come to America and had failed
to find employment. Brownbridge pro-
yided for his immediate wants, got him
a situation, and invited him to visit his
home in Brooklyn. The young man fell
in love with his daughter, confded the
fact to him in manly fashion, discontin-
ued the visits, and soon went to Iowa.
For two years he kept up correspond
ence with his benefactor and then
ceased writing, leaving his whereabouts
and fate a mystery. He has just reap
peared in New York, having made fer
tune in lumber at Split Rock, some sixty
miles from Spokane Falls, Washington
Territory, and in a short time Miss Edith
Brownbridge will become Mrs. Courtrcg
Fielding Lawton.

General Harrison an Expert Carver.


This is one Of the pleasantest little
stories about President elect Harrison
When he was a senator here he and his
family lived in modest style at quiet
boarding house, where they were tho
only guests. Ills hostess had heard him
say that he was ford of game, and so
when she one day saw in the market a
lot of plump quail she bought somc
There were just enough, as the good
hostess thought, to go around nicely.
She broiled them to turn, and served
them on toast.
A little while before the dinner hour
Senator Jones and couple of friends
called on Senator Harrison. They were
still there when dinner was announced.
Senator Harrison invited them to 90
down and take dinner with him. They
accepted, and the hostess was in despair.
There were not enough quail to go
around with this unexpected addition,
and it was too late to do anything. Sem
ator Harrison, as usual, did the carving
and supplying. After little, hearing
no complaint as TO an insufficiency of
quail, she ventured to examine the plates
critically. She discovered that while
Senator Jones and his friends had plenty
of quail, Senator Harrison and his FAM
lily had a large supply of toast, with but
mighty little quail. 1t was done IN
such a matter-of- fact way that she alone
noticed it. The invited guests compli-
mented her on her skill in preparing the
birds.- Washington Star.

AYERS
Hair VigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness Of
youth, faded or gray hair to 2 natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stinu-
lates weak and sickly growth to vgor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGOR is unequalled; It contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, ana
silken IN appearance, and il1parts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
