It would seem clear that the mild
Winter prevelant on the American
continents had extended to the sub
tropical ocean. In an ordinary JAN
uary great waves of high barometric
pressure swept down from British
America over the United States and
then southwark into the Gulf ofMexico
and the Western Atlantic, sometimes
driving back sailing vessels bound
from the West Indies to New York
and delaying their arrival for weeks.
This season, however, there had been
no vessels Overdue from northwest
ers blowing off our Atlantic coasts.
Instead of the continent sending it's
icy winds to chill the intertropical
Atlantic, the latter has furnished
much of it's surplus heat and moist
ure to temper our continental
Winter. The reason for this reversal
of the ordinary Winter process
is found in the absence of the ordin-
airy high Winter pressures in North
America. How long this anomaly
will last, to the annoyance Of would
be ice harvesters. Is the burning

First Tramp, Then Governor.

Washington Corr. New York Press
A number of men and women who
have during the past year or two
lost their positions in the depart
ments through the varied changes
which have been brought about by
the political operations of the party
in power have interesting incidents
connected with their lives. A couple
of days ago your correspondent,
while passing up Pennsylvania
Avenue with bureau officer, passed
a man named Wilkinson, who was
recently turned out of the office of
the comptroller of the currency on
account of offensive partisanship.
The bureau officer, after passing
Wilkinson, turned to ME and said:
"You recognize that man? Yes; well
there was an incident in the early
part of his life which connects him
IN a way with one of the most promi-
nent Democrats in Ohio. A good
many years ago Wilkinson was
moving into a house at Spring
field, now one of the most pros
porous manufacturing towns in the
central part of the Buckeye State.
While his goods were being put into
the house and those belonging to the
outgoing tenant were being put on
wagon, a seedy-looking tramp came
up and inquired if he could get some
thing to eat, offering to assist in the
work if he was accommodated. The
outgoing tenant referred the tramp
to the incoming tenant, and the lat
ter took the wanderer into the house
and gave him dinner. There was
not much attention paid to that
tramp, and for years those who
saw him on that day lost sight of
him. Finally he reappeared, how
ever, entered into the business of the
place and began to grow. Hegrew in
every sphere of life. He became
wealthy and influential. A few years
ago he was governor, and now he
has more property and money than
any man in his section Of the state.
1t is notneccessary for me to mention
his name. He lives otSpringfeld yet
and is very rich man. His name is
a household word throughout Ohio"

A Palace Of Salt,

The people of Salt Lake City are
contemplating the erection of agreat
"Salt Palace" 1t would be struc-
ture that would lay in the shade all
the ice and corn palaces ever con-
structed. The main part of the
structure could be one of the finest
specimens of rock salt to be found in
the quarries, chiseled, carved and ar
tistically arranged; while the interior
fittings should be of crystalized work
from the lake on grand scale. Such
a palace should be permanent ifprop-
erly protected from the winter rains;
it could be made of the most unique
and striking style of architecture; it
could be made one of the wonders of
the world. When lighted by electric
ity the structure would have all the
sparkle and diamond glitter OF the
great ice palaces, and with the differ
ence in the salt palaces favor, the
heat would not melt or dim it's glo-
ries in the least.-Virginia (Nev. En-
terprise.

A New Danger.

The introduction of leprosy into
the United States must be stopped
and the terrible disease stamped out
at once, or it will be the most IN
manageable of all epidemics that
ever visited our land. There is no
longer any question of it's being COM
municable. The lepers have invaded
British Columbia, and had such free
access to the Indians that the whole
race of red men is infected. The an
tagonism to Chinese immigration
viii be more widespread that ever,
and will be based on something be-
sides race prejudice. Itwould be far
better to stop quarantining against
yellow fever and smallpox, for while
the latter kill more quickly, leprosy
devours it's victims with a living
death. When will our authorities
get well aroused to appreciate the
danger that is coming upon us?-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

onest;on oftbe bour which can be

question of the hour, which can be
answered daily by collecting and COM
pairing neurological data from all
parts of the globe. While, unfortun-
ately, these data are not to be had,
we may previse some of the effects OF
the present anomalous season on THE
Atlantic. The unusually high sea
temperature in the tropics, unless
seen greatly modified, must shortly
result in excessive evaporation. This
excess of vapor borne by the winds
into extra-tropical regions must al
so produce storms of abnormal vio-
lence and very heavy precipitation in
the Mississippi Valley. So that We
may look for more than the average
number of tornadoes next Spring and
Summer in and north of the Cult
States, with an early and wet Spring
in the country east of the Missis-
sippi.

A LARGE part of the estate of the
late Edward Richardson Of Vicksburg
consisted of thirty-seven plantations.
There are five heirs to the estate, four

the heirs. Five lists were made out,
with the names of seven plantations on
each List, so selected as to make each

A Night Ride in Kansas.

A young man who lives in Garden
City has a claim in this county and
pays weekly visits to it. On one of
these visits he was awakened by a
eommotion around the house, The
building began to move slowly, and,
suspecting what was up, he lay still
until the peep o. day, when the NOV
ers had proceeded several miles with
him and bis house. Unlocking the
door, he stepped out and bade the
marauders good morning. Ofcourse
the situation was an embarrassing
one to the house stealers. They
offered him 500 in cash and to re-
place the house on it's foundation if
the owner would agree to make no
arrests. This offer was accepted,
and the claim holder went back to
town with his 500 cash, thinking it
was a pretty profitable night after
all.-Scott City (Kas.) Herald.

London Queen.
There is a saying, full of that keen
observation for which the French are
famous, "Chacun a sa bette dams la
figure" Each of us has aresemblance
more or less exact to some animal,
and the lines of likeness to horses,
dogs, monkeys, birds, fishes, snakes,
tigers and mice, as well as to those
of sheep, goats, pigs, cows, cats and
lizards. can be traced in men and
women who yet are purely human
and without any moral likeness to
their antitypes. Some of these re-
semblances make pretty faces enough.
If the horse and COW leave muCir
to be desired on the score of beauty,
the dog gives several fascinating
replicas. We have known spaniels
and settlers Japanse nondescripts, in
frocks and hats, walking erect on
two legs-with human voices to
match their human minds-who were
as delightful in their womanhood as
they were pretty in their personality.
And yet their faces, with only few
strokes of the pencil, could be made
an exact likeness of the creatures we
have mentioned.
Do we not all know the women
who peck like birds when they make
a show OF kissing? They cannot kiss
even their babies like true humans.
but dab and dash and peck at the
soft flower like face like a bird pick

seem as if they must hurt as much

ing sinews of an old woman's
shrivelled neck to the scratching legs
OF poultry? And are not certain
men like eagles? and certain other
Ike secretary birds? and others
again like herons? and yet again,
others like geese? And do we not
all know the dove among women;
and the little brown wren; and the
angry little hedge sparrow, all fuss
and buster and fight and feathers,
with body no bigger than wal
nut underneath those apparently
quite formidable quilts? Surely In
fact birds have nearly as large fol-
lowing as dogs, and we might multi
ply the instances of likeness till we
have included all the species given
by Audubon.

and another said, Father am 60
ing to India" and another, Gather,
am going to seek my fortune where
Ican," and another, "Father I am
going to HeavenI' So, with many
tears at parting, they went, solitary,
down those avenues, each child upon
its way; and the child who went to
Heaven rose into the clouds and van
ished.
Whenever these paintings happened
the traveller looked at the gentleman,
and saw him glance up at the sky
above the trees, where the day was
beginning to decline and the sunset
to come on. He saw, too, that his
hair was turning gray. But they
never could rest long, for they had
their journey to perform, and it was
necessary for them to be always busy.
At last there had been so many
partings that there were no children
left, and only the traveller, the gen.
tleman and the lady went upon their
way in company. And now the wood
was yellow, and now brown, and the
leaves, even of the forest trees, began
to fall.
So they came to an avenue that
was darker than the rest, and were
pressing forward on their journey
without looking down it when the
lady stopped.
"My husband" said the lady, 81
am called"
They listened, and they heard a
voice long way down the avenue
say, Mother, mother!'
1t was the voice of the first child
who had said, II am going to Heav-
enl" and the father said, 81 pray not
yet"
But the voice cried, Mother, moth
er!' without minding him, though
his hair was now quite white and
tears were on his face.
Then the mother who was alrea dy
drawn into the shade of the dark ave-
nue. and moving away, with her arms
still round his neck kissed him and
said. "My dearest, l am summoned,
and / gor' And she was gone. And
the traveller and he were left alone to-
gether.
And they went on and on together
until they came to very near the end
of the wood-so near that they could
see the sunset shining red before them
through the trees.
Yet, once more, while he broke his
way among the branches, the travel
er lost his friend. He called and called,
but there was no reply, and when he
passed out of the wood and saw the
peaceful sun going down upon a wide
purple prospect, he came to an old
man sitting on a fallen tree. So he
said to the old man, what do you
do here?" Aud the old man said with
a calm smile, II am always remem-
boring. Come and remember with
mel"
So the traveller sat down by the
side of that old man, face to face,
with the serene sunset, and all his
friends came softly back and stood
around him. The beautiful child, the
handsome boy, the young man in
love, the father, mother and children;
every one of them was there, and he
had lost nothing. So he loved them
all, and was kind and forbearing with
them all, and was always pleased to
watch them all, and they all honored
and loved him. And think the travel
er must be yourself, dear grandfather.

Small House in Philadelphia.

One family of about five persons
to dwelling is the usual Philadel-
phia rule. Taking that as the aver
age, Philadelphia built dwelling
houses in 1888 for 1878 families, or
3S, 565 people. That the love of
home-a seperate dwelling for each
family-holds it's own in Philadelphia
is shown by the increasing proper
ton of two story dwellings, erected
in 1888, nearly 5000 of these little
houses, provided with modern con-
veniences," having been erected dur
ing the year,-Philadelphia Ledger.

to the residence of the sorrowine

to the residence of the Borrowing
Emiline.
What the meeting was tits useless to
attempt to describe-such scenes
occur but once in generations. Days
and months of wretchedness were for
gotten like some dreadful dream, and
Archie received the admission that a
woman who once loved him could
never forget him. She was once
again his own Emiline, rich, sorrow
ing, repentant and happy. Thus
days passed on. Every day Archie
called. He was rapidly recovering
from his illness, but the travel and
expense had reduced his fortune, so
that now he had none to waste.
One evening they were sitting to-
gether on the portico of the Forster
mansion, enjoying the balmy breeze
that stirred the leaves of the naples
and brought sweet fragrance through
the matted honeysuckle and climb
ing jessamine and arbutus that
shaded the porch from the glare of
the sunlight during the day and
made the spot pleasant and cosy
retreat for the evening. Her head
was upon his shoulder and her face
was as radiant as seraph's. They
spoke but lowly and at intervals,
and the topic was their future home.
''Oh, Archie" said EmiIine, "take
me away from these painful associa-
tions-take me to any place in the
wide world, for Montreal has become
hateful to me-"
The lovers were too intent to no.
tice that a shadow had been visible
passing towards them, but now a
well known and instantly recognized
voice proceeded from it with:
''Is that what you say my pretty
Emiline? My death was merely a
ruse to try your constancy. 1t is a
pity to turn such a pretty comedy
into tragedy, but 1 happen to be
manager here, young man." remark
ed Mr.. Forster, for it was he who
had returned in the flesh, and if you
don't 60 out of this in 20 seconds I'll
blow the whole top of your head
off,"
The revolution produced by the
sudden temperance of Forster
was too startling for nerves
that had borne so much already,
and Emiline tainted, and was car
ried to her room. She survived the
shock but a week, but in that short
time since Archie's return they had
opened up their source of grief only
to regret that they did not bear and
forbear while it was yet time, and by
kindly concession endeavor to repair
the breach that irritation had made,
and that briet word timely put
would have amended.
Archie wandered around the city,
demented, for few days, when, hear
ing of the death of his beloved
Emiline be managed to obtain a
stolen glimpse, which sight unsettled
his reason forever, and he became
hopelessly insane. Old Forster sold
out and went away, but it is said
that he is engaged in one ofthe west
ern cities in his old business of shear
ing the lambs and is now more miser-
ly than ever.-Detroit Echo.

About Headaches.

Probably one of the most com
mon headaches, if not the most COM
mon, is that called nervous. The
class ofpeople who are most subject
to it are certainly not your outdoor
workers. Ifever my old friend the
gardener had had headache it
would not have been one of this
description. Nor does Darby, the
plowman, nor Jarvey, the 'busman,
nor Greatfoot, the granger suffer
from nervous headache, nor any one
else who leads an outdoor life, or
who takes plenty of exercise in the
open air. But poor Matte, who
slaves away her days in stuffy
Diapers shop, and JEANNE in her
lonesome attic, bending over her
white seam-stitch, stitch, stitch-till
far into the night, and thousands of
others of the indoor working class
are martyrs to this form of headache.
Are they alone in this misery? No;
for my Lady Bonhomme, who comes
to have her ball-dress fitted on, has
often a deep fellow-feeling with
JEANNE and Matte. Her, however,
we cannot afford to pity quite so
much, because she has the power to
change her modus vivendi when she
chooses. What are symptoms of
this complaint that makes your
head ache SO? You will almost know
it is coming from a dull. perhaps
sleepy feeling. You have no heart
and little hope, and you are restless
at night. Still more restless, though,
when it comes on in full force, as then
for nights, perhaps, however much
you may wish to, scarcely can you
sleep at all.
"How my poor head does achel"
This you will say often enough; sadly
to yourself, and hopelessly to those
near you, from whom you expect no
sympathy and get none. And yet
the pain is bad to bear, although it is
generally confined to only one part
of the head. The worst of this form
of headache lies in the fact that it is
periodic. Well, as it arises from I'M
natural habits of life or peculiarities
of constitution, this periodicity is no
more than we might expect. If l

Overwork indoors.
Overstudy.
Work or study indoors, carried on
in an unnatural or cramped position
of body. Literary men and women
ought to do most of their work at a
standing desk, lying down now and
then on a sofa to ease brain and
heart, and permit ideas to flow. They
should work out of doors in fine
weather-with their feet resting on
board, not on earth-and under can
vas in wet weather. 1t is surprising
the good this simple advice, if fol-
lowed, can effect.
Neglect of the ordinary rules that
conduce to health.
Want of fresh air in bedrooms.
Want of abundant skin-exciting
exercise.
Neglect of the bath.
Overindulgence in food, especially
of a stimulating character.
Weakness or debility ofbody, how
ever produced. This can only be
remedies by proper nutriment.
Nervousness, however induced.
The excitement inseparable from
a fashionable lie.
Exciting passion, anger and jeal-
ousy in particular.-Cassell's Maya
