A SOCIAL PARASITE.

Tho Woman Who Shirks RespOnsibil-
tiles and Lives In other Folks
Houses.
[From Harper's Bazar1
tsWhere is her homer asked one of the
women, setting her crochet needle crosswise
between her lips and stretching her work
straight across her knee.
SIN other peoples spare rooms" answered
the other, laughing little; and no further
comment was made. for both knew the type
well. A rolling stone that gathers no more
moss than will comfortably fill one trunk
which will comfortably fill corner in any
guest chamber. It is the woman who has no
sense of acquisitivenees, no feminine ambi-
tion that yearns toward q closet filled with
glossy linen, whence come delicate odors from
lavender bags, and the edges of the shelves
are fluffy with towel fringes. She is human
cuckoo, greedy of the sweet order and peace
of home, fain of the warmth and comfort OF
nests wifely birds have toiled and denied
themselves to create, but unwilling for the
sacrifices by which lost any woman with the
woman's instinct for home may make herself
some personal alcove in the great mansion OF
life.
There are surprising number of these
women parasites who live out their lives in
other peoples houses, partaking of the best
participating in all their comforts and luxur-
les and rendering no equivalent in return. A
busy woman said not long ago: s'If should
accept all the invitations should need no
home at all" and the cuckoo finds it, with q
little management and large circle of ac-
quaintances, AN easy thing to spend her entire
time very pleasantly in spare rooms. She Is
not an Objectionable person, at least in ag-
gressive sense. cheerful. loquacious, not too
exigent, she manages to keep every one in q
good humor with her, and gets invitations,
her hosteeses could not quite tell how. She
| is fairweather bird, for when anything oc-
ours to mar the smoothness Of her borrowed
home-when the cook leaves, or the baby
comes down with the measles-she explains,
with sweet consideration, that she will not
stay any longer just now, she knows that she
is in the way, but she will come back, if you
like, for another week in February; upon
which she takes wing and fits away to more
agreeable quarters. In February she certain
ly returns, if all is going happily with You,
| and the strong oak-fbred women yield Of
their substance cheerfully to the mistletoe.

TOLD BY OLD SOILS FACE.
How the Sum fleets the Weather-Ins
teresting Facts.

How the Sum A fleets the Weather-Ins
teresting Facts.
From the Rochester Democrat
The most pronounced effects of solar
disturbance are felt as it appears by the
suns rotation on its axis and as the distur.
bance crosses the suns meridian. The six
and a half days between appearance by TO-
tation and meridian passage are marked by
storms, auroras, heat or earthquakes. After
meridian passage the storm influence of q
solar disturbance appears to cease. In this
use of the word storm all the other phenom-
ena are included. All are kindred. When
solar disturbances follow each other in rapid
succession the storm period is prolonged.
The effects of solar disturbances which
break out on the SUMS hemisphere turned
toward us produce sudden and powerful ef-
fects in our atmosphere. Storms known a.
cloud bursts have been most frequently
noted in connection with these sudden out
bursts on the suns face. As rule the
marks of solar disturbance cannot be seen
until the storms on the earth cease. The
spots form after the storm-producing erup-
tions.
Tornadoes are more numerous during peri
DDS of violent solar agitation. The number
and violence of tornadoes are directly pro-
portioned to the number and violence of So
lar disturbances. Observations made during
the past winter and spring show that solar
disturbances are in some cases not marked
by spots until a month or two after the
eruptions begin. Fifty-two days after the
great storm Of January 9th and 10th, 1889,
spots appeared by the SUMS rotation. Spots
also appeared by rotation fifty-two days af-
ter the great Samoan hurricane of March
18th and 10Th, 1888, which wrecked several
men-of-war in the harbor of Apis. This
disturbance on the sun was followed upon
reappearance on May Goth and 30th by the
foods which wrecked Johnstown, Pa, and
drowned Wiliiamsport, Pa.
When solar disturbances become obscure
their storm action can be traced by counting
the twenty .six-day period. The solar dis
turbances which ca1sed severe and wide
spread storms during the first eight months
Of 1889 are now obscure, spots being rarely
seen. But there is evidence of some activi
ty at the seat of the disturbances. When
ever violent action is resumed our atmos-
phere will be vexed in proportion to the vio-
lence on the sun.
