Phenomenal Ra,nfalls.

In studying the precipitation of the
United States, I find the following ex-
cessiye rainfalls within the past five
years, concerning which do not recol-
lect having seen any figures given IN
the usual news columns. During the
disastrous storm that eliminated in the
destruction of YOUNGSTOWN. a depth OF
rain aggregating &C. inches!fell upon the
drainage basin of Concmaugh River in
thirty-two hours; at Grampian Hills
Station 8-4 inches fell iu the same
length of time. During the storm Of
February, 1886. depth of five inches
fellsin one day upon tho Southern New
England States, and depth of seven
inches in an era of 1oore than 1900
square miles. In May, 1890, 3.9 inches
fell at McC auseland, Iu., in one hour;
at Galveston, Tex, June IA, 1871, 3.95
inches fell in fourteen minutes; at ST.
Louis. sos inches fell IN one hour; and
at Triadelphia, w. Va, July 9, 1888,
s 9 inches were precipitated in fifty-fve
minutes. At Mayport, Fla, 1876 inches
fell in twenty-four hours; at Upper
Maypole, Col. 3l.7 inches fell in five
DAYS. and ut Alexandria, La. 2l.4
inches fell in one day. This. the most
copious down-pour that has ever been
recorded in the United States, has been
surpassed, however. in India, where, IN
Purneah, 35 inches were recorded IN
an equal interval of time.-4imeTtca'e

Too Practical.

Professor Henry w. Blakney, an
English gentleman whose training has
been of so practical nature that to
him sentiment is co Aeeting shadow
that he has never caught sight Of it,
denounces. in London publication,
the foolishness Of the poets. "Their
rantings," says the Professor, "have, by
sensible people. been pronounced harm.
less, hut they are not harmless. The
vaporings of these fellows and weak
minded women have tended to give the
world at large false idea Of everything,
and particularly so Of anatomy. I refer
to the foolish sentiment with which they
have enshrined the human heart. With
them the heart is the seat of all honesty,
all love, all that is noble, when in truth
the heart has nothing to do with q
mans uprightness and nothing to do
with his affections. The heart is a
pumping machine and really feels no
emotion. The true seat of emotion, and
might almost say of all feeling, is the
stomach. The stomach controls the
nerves and therefore is master of the
situation. Let us hear no more of the
good-hearted man, but of the man who
has good stomach. 1t is. we'll enough
for children to be sentimental, but men
aud women should have strict regard
for the truth. This is not On age Of
flowers, but of grainfelds.
The Professor may be man of great
learning, but we do not think that his
cold-blooded theory, or perhaps fact
can possibly tend toward the happiness
of mankind. Absolute fact is an excel.
lent article, and so is corned beef, but q
constant diet of corned beef would
brutalize society. No we cannot sub.
stitute the stomach for the heart Take
the drama for instance. Imagine the
following conversation:
"Inez, ever since I first set eyes on
you, I have loved you. At night. when
alone under the the stars my stomach
has hungered for you." a
"Sir George, you know that I love
you"
@Ah, sweet stomach, I knew it"
That would't sound very we'll, yor
know; and should you like to hear O
The Stomach Bowed Down with Grie
and Care?" You see it won't do to b,
too practical in these matters.-Arkoaa
salO Traveller.

Hale and aeartv at 1oa.

One OF the attractions at the four.
teenth annual reunion of the Army of
West Virginia, in this city last week.
says Parkersburg wv. Va.) letter to
the New York Sssaa, was the oldest per-
son in West Virginia, Mrs. Jane Brun-
gardner. She will be 1O4 years old on
Dec. 25 next. She was born in Georgia
in 1856. Early in her youth she came
to Virginia aud settled in what is now
called West Virginia, neer the Ohio
River. She is most remarkable wo.
man in many respects. She does not
use glasses, even when doing the finest
sewing. She would be taken at casual
glance as woman of 60 years of age. She
uses tobacco, having been accustomed
to it from her youth, her constant COM
panion being a primitive cob pipe. She
says she prefers cob pipe to sany of
the new-fangled notions" Her hearing
is still good. She has eight children.
four Of whom still live. She has forty
grand children, thirty.fve great-grand-
children, and three great-great-grand-
children. This chronological table is
taken from her recollection of ten years
ago. A fair estimate of her descend
ants ut this date would not be less than
$50 people.
The old lady has repertory of sto-
ries of Seminole raids in Florida and of
the aborigines OF this part of the coun-
try almost century ago. She was over
20 years of age when Aaron Burr and
Blennerhassett figured prominently in
the history of the country. She says
she saw Burr and his victim, Herman
Blennerhassett, frequently in their
travels from the historical island to
Marietta and return and frequently con-
versed with both of them. Mrs. Blen-
nerhasett was, and still is, her ideal of
q beautiful woman. In speaking of
Burr she says sue always had natural
dislike for the man. When she settled
permanently at Briscoe, six miles from
Marietta, o., lthe oldest town on the
| Ohio River), that place was nothing
more than a collection of afew log huts.
The fort at Harmar, O., opposite Mari
eta, was the only place for many miles
up and down the Ohio River where the
isolated settler of that day could secure
protection during the numerous Indian
raids, which were common then.
u Mrs. Brungardner's physical condi.
ton is indeed wonderful ut her great
age. She comes to this city unattended
once every three months to sign vouch
! ers for her pension as the widow of 6
J soldier of the war of 1912.

A Bank Teller's Story.

have met with some odd characters
in my time, and one of them is man
who comes in about twice week, lays
down a dime or two nickels, and asks
for ten bright, new cents. After he had
done this half-dozen times began to
expect him and later to have a curiosity
to know what he did with them, as I
observed that he always placed them
carefully in his fob pocket. One day
my curiosity overcame my politeness,
and I asked him bluntly what he did
with the pennies. He blushed, smiled
in deprecating way and said they were
for the children. But not for his own,
understand; no, for the waits tof the
street. Whenever he met crying or
sorry looking child he tossed it a penny.
Then how quickly smiles chased away
tears! I fell to thinking over the whole
matter, and found myself trying to fig
ure out, in some such manner as we
compute interest, the amount of happi-
ness that man got out Of 10 cents, the
price of an ordinary cigar, and the result
is I always carry aifew bright coppers
myself.

The Referee sprtnted Also.

Two young laboring men stood on the
corner of twenty-eighth street and
Madison avenue the other day and dis
cussed their abilities as sprint runners.
They both had their pals on their
arms, and their clothing was unusually
good. A broken down looking chap,
whose appearance was cross between
well-to-do business man and u tramp,
came along and took part in the discuss

and said that he could not afford to bet
his weeks wages, but he would like
very much to make the race. The
trampish-looking person then made a
su ggestion.
".Ah, what der yer want to bet for 2"
said lie. "Just run race for the fun OF
the thing. Now, I'll tell you what I'll
do. You take off your coats and leave
them here to mark finish line, and
III be Judge, referee and timekeeper Of
this race" the laborers seemed to
think this was good idea, and they
pulled off their coasss and turned them
over to the custody Of the tramp.
@Now," said the latter, "when I count
three you just start OFF. He did so,
ard they started off pellmell for Madi-
son Square. They had not gone half
way when the tramp and the coats dis
appeared down Twenty-eighth street
like q streak OF lightning, and the two
laborers are still looking for the finish
line of their race.-Ne,U York Times.

Brotherly Affection.

Not long ago two brothers lived in
small town in this State. One was a
lawyer and real estate dealer, while the
other was carpenter. In the course Of
business the lawyer induced his brother
to append his autograph to note for
$500 given by him (the lawyer) to q
local bank. The carpenter was told by
his legal relative that the transaction
was a mere matter of formality and
would be all right. All went we'll un-
til the note became due, when it was
presented to the guileless carpenter
for payment, the presenter informing
him that his cautious brother had made
over all his own property to his wife
and the $500 could not be collected
from him. The surprised and indig-
nant carpenter hurried at once to see
his brother about the matter. He found
the lawyer seated in his handsome
Office. reading newspaper and smoking
high-prioed cigar.
aSay, Charley, that note for $500 is
due, and they have come to me for pay
ment," he said as he entered.
well" asked the lawyer, looking up
from his paper, awhy don't you pay
it?"
Il only signed as security and to ac-
commodate you. Besides, I cannot
pay it unless I sell or mortgage my
house and lot. You are we'll fixed and
can easily pay the note" answered the
other.
@Henry," solemuly and slowly said
the man of law, syou should never as
sumo obligations that you are unable to
meet. But I don't want to be hard on
you and I'll tell you what I'll do for
you; if you have to sell your house and
lot 1 will find you buyer for them and
won't charge you cent of commission. .
And the noble-hearted man lit another
cigar and resumed his paper.
The carpenter did not accept the
princely offer his liberal-minded
brother had made him, but went out
and mortgaged his home, paid the note,
and was relieved, as time went on, to
find that his brother did not send him a
bill for $40 for professional advice.

Juneau.

Relative to the bank failure, the all
absorbing topic here, the statement is
made that the liabilities of the juneau
and Hartford banks amount to about
$4,000 with the following assets: In
the. Park National Bank, $1,000; Cash
on hand, $1,000; securities, So 900; the
balance being in the hands ofthe banks.
To this should be added the value of
the real estate, $4,000. Among the de-
positors are nearly every man in bust
ness in Juneau, county officers, treas
urers of cheese factories and cream
cries, many farmers and individuals
who can lily afford to lose the money
left in the bank for safety. Outside of
speculating with the money in Cook s
hands the bank has practically made
no money, selling and buying exchange
free Of charge and loaning but little
money to people here even on the best
of security.
