March Comes In with a Roar and
Deluge.
When the wind changed it's direc-
ton from south to north last night at
11:30 o'clock, the weather-wise hard
ly realized what the sudden change
meant, or what sort of weather would
ensue, but they hurried home any
how, and made everything snug
about their homes. They were care
full and it was well, for those who
failed to secure window shutters
and doors and leave sluice gates open
had the modification of seeing today
that repairs were needed for their
negligence. About 2:30 o'clock light
ming and thunder We'd with
each other in clearing the at
mosphere and distur bling the pregnant
clouds, which soon gave forth
copious rain which in two hours
proved a veritable deluge. Many
inches of rain fell and the streets
were transformed in to mimic streams
and the plazas were made into lakes
The bitches and the river got up on a
boom and added their volume to the
water that rushed through the city.
No serious calamities occurred save
those natural to such freshets. In the
northern part of the city the bitches
flowed into yards and cut the ground
badly, while the ditch on North
Flores street rose above the floors of
some few houses that have been
built across it. On Acequia street the
unstable mesquite block sidewalks in
front of the Berg residence and part in
front of the public high school, were
washed away. At daylight the river
had rose several feet though did not
reach Mr.. Bottoms cellar at Houston
street bridge by about one foot and
did no damage to him or to Mr.. F. +.

The two women of the salvation
army, who occupied an old house on
Mrs. Fry's property on East Houston
street, near the Alamo building, were
reused from their bed by one side
of their house falling in. The wall
for about 20 feet caved in very
suddenly, from the action of the wind
and rain, and falling, the wreck just
missed striking the bed upon which
were the sleepers.
A boat was torn from it's fastenings
in the river and is lodged among the
trees back of the old Central garden,
on Garden street.
No other damage is reported, except
the falling of the plaster in the lower
lobby of the county courthouse.

Young Walter Cook, the Pacific EX-

For instance, d long coat of green velvet Is of princesse breadths entire, the fronts tapping to the left at the waist line falling open below to show the front breadth of skirt of green bengaiine, which is cut out in three deep scolops at the foot, and edged with wide passementerie that ends in kaotted fringe. Taper ing bands of passementerie with out fringe are up the sides of the coat front. and there Is a soft gathered plastron of the bengaline above the waist line.

ON AN ELEPHANT.
How It Feels to Ride the Monster for the
 First Time.

Having had the good fortune to be invited by the maharajah Bir Sham sir, Prime Minister and guardian to the young King of Nepal, we leave Calcutta early in December to join his shooting party. After a couple of com fortless nights ill the train We reach d small terminus. from which tiye-mile ride on an elephant lands Us in what is known as the Nepal.ter The ele- phant on which We ride is a small one, and is supposed to shake the rider as little as possible. but to us novices the shaking is far from being gentle one. At word from his "mahout"- wild looking creature who sits between the elephants ears and bricks him with an iron statf-he goes down on his knees and one climbs on his back as best he can. holding on by his tail with both hands and trying to get footing on his slippery quarters. At last one manages 10 scramble up and one finds ones self on square cushion almost as slip pery as an elephants back The first time. when the great beast rises on his fore legs, then on his hind ones, it is all one can do to hold on by the ropes which are fastened to the sides of the pad; but practice makes per feet and in short time one learns 10 adapt ope's self to the curious motion. A good small elephant will shuttle along easily at the rate of five miles an hour. climbing steep raviues and other Instructions, so that the rider often finds himself hanging on in an almost perpendicular position. No animal Is so sure-footed as an ele- phant. He will climb steep banks and slide down into river-beds with as much ease as an Irish pony but he particularly objects to bog, and let no one attempt to ride him over one; for if he finds himself sinking in his first impulse Is to drag the rider off and put him under his feet, by way of having something to stand on-a pro- sceeding one would hardly approve of.

setting Ideas.

The English anti-sutfrage women have done good service by calling out much comment. The Salem Observer says: In England the cause of woman suffrage has in some respects made greater advances than in this country. Its opponents are in their last ditch. so to speak, and the contest for impartial privileges is well on towards success. The opponents say: Suffrage should not be forced upon women" To this very proper sentiment nearly every body will agree We certainly do not know of any advocate of woman sui frage who could dissent from il. Sut- frage should not be forced upon women. neither should 1t be forced upon men. In this respect there should be equality of exemption as between the sexes. Suffrage should not be forced upon women who do not want it. Good. Now, again. suffrage should not be withheld from women who do want it. Good also. One idea is as good as the other. and both almost exhaust the subject But not quite. for, after all. there are political duties as well as rights; and every man ought to be wiling to help d good government by casting his vote for good men, so wom- en should be expected to take their share of their great responsibility One of these days they Will see it in this light Homan.s Journal
