A WHISTLING WE'LL.

Albany Argus.
In the town of Great Valley, in Chat
tanooga county, there is an interesting
curiosity known locally as the "whistl-
ing WELL" located on the farm of Col.
Wesley Flint. About forty-five years ago
the well was dug by the Colonel's father
to the depth of forty-five feet, but no
water accumu lated, and the well was
put down fiat failure. A strong cur
rent of air was rushing into the well at
times, and at other times rushing out of
it. A fiat stone with L Inch hole was
fitted over the hole and whistle placed
in it, which changed its tune as the air
was drawn up or down. This whistle
proved reliable weather barometer
In settled weather the whistle was silent,
but an approaching storm was heralded
by warning shrek of the whistle as
the air rushed out of the well, but as
clear weather approached the current of
the air changed and was drawn into the
well and the faithful whistle changed
and told its story by its changed tune.

1t is not probable says the New York
Tribune that the Republicans of the
country will consent to leave protection
of all wool rowing in this country to
depend upon acts of South American
powers. For if Uruguay can grow fine

the Argentine Republic, Brazil or Chilli,
and almost without limit as to quantity
Mr.. Blaine is too accurate an observer
of political events to suppose that the
precise policy upon which President
Cleveland was defeated would now be
accepted by the people, for the uncertain
compensation of larger exports to coun-
tries where all the channels of trade are
in European hands, and where monetary
and political disturbances retard pro-
gress.

WARNING AS TO FORESTS.


Cleveland Leader.
The State Forestry Bureau, Columbus,
submitted its annual report to the Gov
ernor. The members are emphatic in
their protests against the destruction of
trees constantly going on, and some of
them insist that restoration of the
forests should be compelled. The re-
port contains long account of visit
of the Bureau through the counties in
the southern part of Ohio to inspect the
forests. 1t dwells on the destruction of
the forests in general, points out the
dangers to the country from cyclones
and floods by reason thereof, and, in
consideration of these alarming con-
ditions, recommends to the people that
no time be lost in reforesting the denud-
ed regions, and suggests that the eatal-
pa speciosa, properly intermixed with
oaks and chestnuts, be planted in all
such regions, and above all, urges that
the forests be protected against the in
roads of domestic animals"

Children are often capital judges of
human nature. They lay their fingers
by instinct on a persons most character
istic trait. The Spectator had a very
charming friend whose great fault was
that he was never in earnest; he treated
life as a great piece of humOr, and his
entire conversation was made up of
satire, irony, and badinage. The Spec
fdt0r had another friend, aged five, who
was in the constant habit of hearing this
gentleman's conversation, and who was
one day asked by the gentleman what
his ambition in life was. We'll" said
the little fellow, Il do not mean to be q
fooling gentleman. No acute crit
icism could have been made by the most
discriminating adult mind. The sSpeetQ-
tor has another friend, Clergyman of
great repute and many sided usefulness,
who in former times fell into the way of
rather large talking. He used sounding
phrases which meant more to the ear
than to the mind. This clergyman had
a very bright boy whose fifth birthday
fell upon a Sunday, and in the morning
the boy was told by his father that he
would be asked to say grace at dinner
Accordingly after the morning service,
at the diuner table, the little fellow was
requested to ask blessing. He pro-
ceeded Immediately to screw up his eyes
and, initiating exactly his fathers tone,
said: 20 Thou Power and Glory, we
thank Thee for the Evil Spirit Amen. :"
The clergyman in question immediately
withdrew from the table, perceiving at
first only the humor of the situation, but
perceiving later, with great clearness,
the acuteness and point of the uncon-
scious criticism of his own style. Per-
haps, if parents realized more thor
oughly how keen the eyes of children
are and how rententive their memories,
they would receive new incentive to
self control. ol.-[Christian Union.

Discoursing on healthful ways OF
spending vacation, DIR. Lucy NJ. Hall
says in the Christian Union: There is
nothing better for mind and body than
well organized walking trip. A dozen,
more or less, of both sexes: the young
ladies having fathers or brothers in the
party should carefully plan the trip and
arrange details before the start is made.
The ladies should provide themselves
with light weight flannel dresses, simply
made. with hen or facings of mackin-
tosh cloth or leather They should be of
easy walking length, and with an ar
rangement of loops SO that they may be
shortened for mountain climbing or for
very wet days. A divided underskirt,
also of light weight material, of the same
color as the dress, would be desirable.
The shoes should be well broken, low
heeIed, and broad soled. The hat must
be easy to the head, and of very light
weight. A little cap easily carried in
the pocket would often be of service.
A warm jacket for chilly days or even
ings, an umbrella, which can also be
used as parasol, and pair of rubber
overshoes, are the only extras needed.
Everything of this kind should be of the
lightest possible material and make.
Sometimes stout serving man is added
to a party with advantage, especially
where the route necessitates the carry
ing of midday lunches as well as the
wraps of the women. A small trunk OF
valise containing changes of underwear,
ETC., can be expressed from point "a
point at convenient distances along the
route. Such a trip. resolutely carried

The California State campaign
is being conducted ON both sides
on the lines OF lace prejudice.
The acc.sations made against
candidates are for the purpose Of
alternating the votes of the Irish,

Both parties are reaching out in

vote.
An American can curse his own
countrymen to his hearts content.
but il during his whole life he has
ever spoken or written a line
against any foreigner, the charges
are rung in on him during the en-
tire campaign.
No wonder that the foreign ele-
