Protection Against Tornadoes.

When trying to escape from a tornado
never run to the northeast, east or south
east. Never take refuge in a forest or a
grove of trees, or near any object that may
be overturned by the wind. A frame build
ing is safer than one built of brick or stone
The former is more elastic and holds to-
gether longer; the latter goes down in the
first crash, and the debris is whirled into
a heap in the center of the foundation. In
frame structure the cellar is the safest
place, but in brick or stone building it is
the most perilous. In the former case the
debris is carried away from the foundation,
while in the latter instance the cellar is
filled with it.
The tornado cave offers absolute securi.
ty to life and limb, and no means of pro.
lection can replace it for that purpose. As
regards protection to property no building
can be made sufficiently large, strong, high
or low to resist the force of the tornado's
vortex There is no changing the path of
the tornado by the employment of explo-
sives or by any artificial barrier. To con-
template the dispersion of the cloud by the
use of any electrical continuance is also
idle. All buildings should be constructed
as would be done without the knowledge
of the tornado, and then protected by legit-
innate insurance. Protection must be ac-
complished by organized capital the safe
ty of one being assured by the legitimate
and successful cooperation of many The
writer strongly advocated this method of
protection during his tornado investiga-
tions in the west in 1879, and now several
million dollars worth of property is thus
insured every year.-Lieut. J. p. Finley in

Elevator Etiquette.

The matter of elevator etiquette having
struggled to the top again the views of one
man upon the subject may be interesting.
I'm The first place." said man to whom
the question was submitted, II would say
that under no circumstances should ladies
expert men to remove their hats if there
be the slightest suspicion of q draught in
the elevator and my own experience has
been that they are seldom without it. To
say nothing of lesser and simply annoying
ailments, some of the most serious mala-
dies are traced by physicians to a no more
serious cause than a brief chilling draught.
In the second place the question would be
where the elevator is situated.
IF in a business building, where people
are supposed to go for business purposes,
and where the observation of social forms
and ceremonial etiquette is not important,
and perhaps not even sensible, would say
that men should not be asked to remove
their hats, and do not think that they
are disposed to do so. When we come to a
hotel elevator the question grows finer.
There are hotels where it would be little
pretentious and almost out of place to in
dulge in such "A ceremony. In the smaller
country hotels, for instance, and in hotels
generally where there Is little pretenSlon
to social style, the removal of hats in ele-
vators would hardly seem to be necessary.
I'm some places think it would be even
impolite, on the principle observed by the
German prince, who, when his rustic guest
poured out his coffee in a saucer, did the
same thing himself, that the untutored
fellow might not suffer from his blunder.
On the other hand, in hotels, where there
is general observance of social forms,
think that if, as already said, there be no
draught in the elevator, the hat should be
removed in the presence of ladies, and my
experience is that it is an invariable Gus.
tom for men to do so in such places. 1 may
add. however, that tits a custom which OBJ
tains only in America. In England and on
the continent no gentleman thinks of do
ing such thing. New York Times.

In this position it remains motionless for
forty days, but the bandage is removed

that babyhood is not period which can

would choose to suffer such days of misery

4 Strict Sister.

AS every one knows, in the early days of
Methodism considerable degree of strict
ness was maintained in regard to the wear
ing of jewelry or costly attire. An eminent
divine of that church gives an amusing
incident.
A preacher had just gone to his new
charge, and was in the midst of his first
sermon when woman rose and went out,
slamming the door with unnecessary vio-
lence. OF course he supposed he had said
something which gave offense, but ON
making inquiries he learned that the
woman left because 1.-The ministe. wore a
wicked bosom pin"
The fun of it was that he had dldven to
the service over bad roads, and one drop of
mud had settled on his immaculate shirt
bosom, deceiving the tender conscience of
the good sister.-Wide Awake.

In the West Indies large caterpillar

eggs seem food which no human being
could relish. Not so; the Chinese prefer
stale to fresh eggs, and the Pariahs of Hin

jackals for putrid carrion. They would

etlCuenUs or the leaf are more easily Ca
tracted by the boiling water, thus effecting
a considerable saving in the quantity re-
quired for use. Its great advantages over
loose tea, however, would seem to be its
more portable character, and, in the case of
long sea voyages, or for use in expeditions,
the reduction of its bulk to one-third. The
compression of tea in blocks further, it is
said, constitutes real and important i'm
provement in the treatment of the leaf It
is claimed that trouble, waste and uncer-
tainty are avoided and that eXactitude in

that by compression the aromatic proper

longer period and that it is better preserved

FOR KICKING THE MANAGER.
How Faithful Trainman Got a Var

How Faithful Trainman Got a Var
nished Car and Pie.
A man on the W abash road is now run.
ming vanished cars and eating pie who
owes his success in measure to kicking
the general manager. When a trainman
prospers and gets a passenger train he
speaks of his good fortune as running var
nished cars and eating pie. When he is in
the humber calling of working on freight
train he sometimes calls it eating corn
bread in the dog house.
General Manager Tallmage, of the Wa
bash, was of the old school of railroaders,
who believed in attending to the details of
the line He had been trainman himself,
and he knew the weaknesses of the craft.
He would watch the train sheets, and if a
crew reported delays at a certain point on
about every run he would go down there
quietly and keep an eye out for them. He
took one of these trips on one occasion,
and supposed his movements were un.
known to the crews he wished to watch,
for he went secretly as an ordinary pas
until after dark.
But to use the slang of the men, they
were on to him. He secreted himself on a
gondola loaded with car wheels, and
thought that he was unobserved until a
brakeman, pretending to take him for a
tramp, came along and kicked him most
mercilessly. At every blow Of the foot he
accentuated the action with some orna-
mental profanity very painful to hear.
Mr.. Tallmage did not reveal his identity,
but limped away, and he found out that
the brakeman who had so maltreated him
was really valuable man, and not respon-
sible for the delay
After the kicking the brakeman went
back to the caboose and said to his con-
ductor: "Well, l fixed the old man.
suppose I'll get my envelope at the end of
the run. It's all right, though. This
amt the only road"
Two days later the brakeman was sum.
moned to the general managers office. He
shook hands with the boss, babe him
good-by, pushed his cap over his left ear
defiantly and walked away to the slaugh.
ter.
Mr.. Tallmage asked him how long he
had been braking, questioned him about
various matters pertaining to handling
trains, and then fairly knocked him silly
by informing him that he should report to
the trainmaster, who would give him po-
sition as conductor.
"By the way" said Mr.. Tallmage, as the
astonished man was leaving the office,
"are you bothered with tramps on your
division?'
The brakeman blushed a little, then
summoned all his stOlidity and said: Eyes,

The stnte,s Relation to n1nrrinre.

To the state marriage is a civil contract
between a man and woman. 1t can be
nothing else or more than that. And the
only interest of the state, as state is that
all the rights and duties involved in civil
contract shall be maintained to the end of
public order. The moment that it at.
tempts anything beyond this it is tres
passer on personal rights and works only
mischief. 1t is hardly matter for dispute
that those who have claimed to be acting
for God in political matters in the past
have been authors of cruelty and injustice.
Most writers on divorce reform" as
sumo that the one great end TO be aimed at
is to prevent divorce by any and all means.
Their highest, their one ideal, seems to be
to keep people tied together without re-
gard to consequences.
But it is not question of the ideal. 1t
is as to what the state has a right to do
under present actual conditions Men
should seek the ideal in all departments of
life not in marriage only. But should the
state decide on what that ideal is and en-
force it always by pains and penalties? Is
this not rather a matter for school and
church and individual striving? 1t is not
the right and duty Of the state to force
people either to marry or to stay married.
Neither of these is the end, so far as state
jurisdiction is concerned. 1t is for the
state simply to guard the rights of the in
dividual parties to this contract. precisely
as in the case of any other.-Rev. NJ. j.
