Statistics of Tornadoes.

The tornado, with hardly an excep-
ton, occurs in the afternoon, just after
the hottest part of the day. The time of
greatest frequency is from $50 to
O'clock. The tornado 'season includes
March, April, May, June, July, August
and September, but storms of this nature
may occur in any pant of the year. The
months of greatest frequency, as deter
mined from record of 20S years, are
April, May, June and July. The single
month of greatest frequency is May, April
following next in order. The State in
which the greatest number of tornadoes
has occurred is Missouri, followed next in
order by Kansas and Georgia. A record
of more than 500 tornadoes and "wind-
falls" Il. e, paths of tornadoes through
forests in Wisconsin considerably ey-
ceeds the number from any other State,
but little weight can be given this COM
parison owing to the want of thorough
investigation of the subject of windfalls
in other States. From q careful investi-
cation of the origin of tornadoes and
their geographical distribution, there is
every reason to believe that these storms
were as frequent and violent 2O0 years
ago as now. Moreover, there appears to
be no cause for any unusual change in
the annual frequency CT tornadoes for
like period to come.--[The Forum.

Young people who pnt off becoming
Christians because they think they
have fifty years to do it in, make big
mistake.
Men who aro afraid to give their
wives word of praise, for fear it will
spoil them, make big mistake.
Parents who want their children to
keep out of the church until they are
old enough to understand all the doc
trines and decide for themselves, make
o big mistake.
Farmers who feed their pigs and cat

Women who are overly anxious about
their compilations, and underly anxious
about their salvation, make big mis-

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.

Those who saw much Of Abraham Lincoln

Goc was called to meet, no vessel Of COM

'f hossn Of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
new that carly griefs tinged his whole life

business at Salem, was "Uncle" Billy Green,
OF Ta!luln, ILL.,, who used at night when the
customers wero few, to hold The grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons.
1t was to bis sympathetic ear Lincoln told
tho story Of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidgc;
and he in return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died, and Liucoln's

There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowerins grief, as they think Of o
lost loved one, when 'the rains fallin' on

sometimes Is tho thought that the lost one
might have been saved.

Science in oap-Bubbles.

There is scarcely anything in the world
which seems more utterly outside the
realm OF law than a soap-bubble. The
delicate film, with its exquisite floating
colors, its power of instantly vanishing,
leaving no trace behind, hardly seems as
though it could form link in the mex
orable chain of cause and effect which
we call physical law
The atmospheric pressure on bubble
six inches in diameter is over 1900
pounds, and yet the fragile film lies safe
ly between the opposing forces of nature
the pressure of the outer air, the spring
of the inclosed cushion within it, the
downward pull of gravity, the upward
push of the buoyant atmosphere, and the
molecular forces in the film itself-so
long as the bubble lasts; it is because of
an exquisite adjustment of all the forces,
physical and molecular, concerned in its
existence.
This is, of course, the merest common
place, and yet it is one of the common
places of nature, which, however well we
may know them, never cease to be won
derful when they are in any degree real
lied. There are other Jaws governing
films which are no less wonderful, though
they are less Familiarity known. A heap
or bubbles blown while the pipe is dipped
under the surface of soapy water looks
like chaotic huddle of bubbles of all
sizes and many shapes; but, upon careful
examination, it is found that never more
than three films meet at an unsupported
liquid edge, and never more than four
edges meet at liquid point, and that
the angles are always equal; that is, films
will not meet each other at an unsupport-
ed edge or point at an angle smaller than
100 degrees third of a CIRCLE

tells us, land a lot of Yankees kept
shooting at us from the shelter of a pine

the thicket, and then we had it. Every

load and shoot, taking advantage of the
shelter.

His head was protected, but his back

the thigh, and as he hollered made for
him. But be dropped his gun and

"' j" Pistols may miss-swords can't,
answered the stranger, in tone of such
savage determination that every one who
b card him-even De Villeneuve himself,

shudder. ~ had vowed never to fight
again, save with man who deserved to
die; but you have deserved it well

'' Where both sides were so eager to
fight, there was no need of much pre-
paration. They met that evening, Col
onel De Malet being the strangers
second, and another French officer acting
for De Villencuve.
90 As a rule, De Villeneuve was as cool
on the ground as if he had been at pic
mic; but at this time he was as wild and
fierce as a tiger partly, no doubt, from
having been insulted before so many of
his admirers, but also because he had
found out that the stranger was. an Eng
lishman, and he hated everything English
like poison. But more terrible than all
his fury was the cold, stern, pitiless
calmness Of the Englishman's face, as if
he felt certain of his man.
g They fought for some time without
a scratch on either side, and then sud
denly the Englishman stumbled forward,
exposing his left side Quick as light
ming the Frenchman's point darted in,
and instantly the others shirt was all
crimson with blood; but the moment he
felt the steel pierce him, he made thrust
with all his strength, and buried his
sword up to the hilt in De Villeneuve's
body. Then l understood that he had

of killing him; so he had, for De Viii

The Bishops Mouse Trap.

A good story is told of Bishop Grafton
of the diocese of Fond du Lac, Wiscon-
sin. One of his first visitations was at
Waupun, where there has been much
church dissension in the past, and while
there he was the guest of Mrs. Webster.
After the prelate retired he was ANNOYED
by mouse in the room He did not lie
awake and wonder what could be done to
abate it. He quietly arose, took the re-
mains of luncheon which he had been
enjoying, placed it on the top of a glass
in the centre of a washbowl, filed the
bowl half full of water, leaned a photo
graph from the table to the edge of the
bowl SO as to give the mouse arun-away.
then calmly went back to bed. In few
moments he heard the pattering of the
mouse's feet on the photograph, splash,
few struggles, and all was quiet. Then
the worthy bishop turned over and slept
the sleep of the just. As Mrs. Webster
remarked the next morning: Bishop
Grafton will find no difficulty in govern
ing the diocese if he can so easily handle
mouse.
