Wrong IdentiticationS.

1t sometimes happens that bodies arc
wrongly identified at the Morgue. Such
mistakes seldom occur, owing to the
great carefulness of the present Morguc
officials. A woman who lived in Provl-
dence wrote several years ago to her
children in this city that she intended
to spend Thanksgiving with them. She
stated that she was on her way, and
would arrive OH certain day. The day
came. but she did not appear. The
children became alarmed when several
days had passed without hearing from
her, and visit was made to the Morgue.
A body in coffin was identified from the
appearance and clothing us that Of their
mother, and it was placed in charge OF
an undertaken for burial. The funeral
was held, and it was inferred in Calvary
Cemetery. Their door-bell rang two
days afterward, while they were at sup.
per, and in walked the supposed dead
woman. She had missed her train and
had not left Providcncc.-NeW YORK

Is the secret of this modern beauty who
comes to the salt seaside to keep fresh.
Long Branch has always exerted a pc
tculiar fascination upon statesmen, polit-
ical bosses, ring masters, ward magnates
and that ilk generally. Politics needs o
great deal of salt to check dccomposi-
ton. The political leader is not always
what you would think him to bc-some-
thing towering and impressive. Some
of the strongest of them are about as in
significant looking as last years null
leiu stalk. But the Branch is alive with
all sorts of politicians, impressive aud
otherwise, from the real statesman to the
New York saloon Alderman, whose dyed
moustache, diamond pin, flash tie, new
clothes and vulgar manner stamp him at
once as product of rank sofia quick
growth, neither fruit, flower, vegetable,
odorous or edible! What good is he?
Well, he is money spcnder, and great
summer resorts wouldn't be possible with
out him. He drops his money in showers
rs gently as Jupiter did his on the backs
Of the Dame, and quite as generously,
too. Money may be the root OF all evil,
but it is never an unmitigated evil. The
political manager comes here to continue
the game of chance, to bet on the color
of cards as he docs on the complexion OF
parties, for no roulette in Its iolatlon5
ever equaled the fckleness OF tho
eovereign people. Now, where tho
King goes, there goes the jester. That
is to say, the political boss is always at
tended by the political hummer, who
never earns dollar, never pays for any
thing, never does stroke of work, never
drinks glass of water, and yet he is an
important factor in machine politics.
He's the grease.
Every dandy here wears sash. Now,
a sash may look very we'll on slim man,
but to increase rotundity of sixty inches
by adding Gordon sash shows to what
profundity of absurdity men descend
when once infected with craze. They
wear it in place and out of place; at the
races, in church, on the beach, with
evening dress and negligee, all the same.
The only regret seems to be that they
cannot be worn into the water. Thus lar
tho ouests ot the hotels have the sashes
to themselves, but next week is expected
that the walters will don them, and after
that the porters and hotel hands gener-
ally.
The women have their craze, too;
They run to big hats: Brims are re so broad .
that they have ceased to be seli-support-
ing. One very indulgent husband, to
crafty his wife, has invented a brin
supporter. It may be ATTACHED to any
carriage and, so he says, is bound to be-
come very popular.

Cloud Bands Of the Gl0te.

Until recently but little has been done
to determine the distribution of cloudi-
ness on the globe. But, M. Teisserenc
dc Bort, French meteorologist, has
earnestly attempted to supply this def
cheney of knowledge. The results Of
his novel and great labor, published in
the american Meteor01ogicat Magazine, arc
very interesting, and when mapped, en-
able one to imagine how our planet,
with its cloud bands, would appear to m
observer at some remote point in space.
He finds that in all months the earth's
clouds arrange themselves in very Or
dcrly way, as Jupiter's cloud forms, in
streaks or zones parallel with the cqua-
tor, on or near which occurs maximum
of cloudiness. Between latitude Is de-
grees and As degrees north or south the
skies are comparatively clear, but be-
tween the thirty-ffth and fiftieth paral
lels there is a zone of clouded sky, north
of which the atmosphere grows more
transparent. Other things being equal,
clouds are more abundant over the sea
and on elevated sea coasts exposed to a
prevailing sen wind than on the CONT
nents. Over the whole globe November
is the month of greatest cloudincss, and
March the clearest month.
These and other instructive data OBJ
tanned by NJ. Teisserenc dc Bort arc of
great value to metcorology and medical
climatology. on the plateaus and mount
ain ranges Of India (where in winter tho
sky is remarkably clear), when in May
the sun heats up the Asiatic continent,
causing an indraught of air from the In
dian Ocean the multiplication of clouds
announces days beforehand the advance
of the south-monsoon, which rules tho
weather of the entire summer and de-
cides the fate of dl the crops. In the
tropics generally, the equatorial cloud
ring" swinging north and south with
the sun in declination, is the herald of
the rainy seasons. If the laws of cloud
distribution were better known tho
work of forccasting great hot and cold
spells and the course and intensity of
storms would be considerably facilitated.

A Boy Builds a Steamer.

A trim and handsome little steamer
was tied up at the Merrill-Stevens Com
pany's wharf the other day, with gang
of men busy at work on her. She is the
Marmion, of Picolata, owned by N. r.
Fitzhugh, of that place, where she was
built out of Florida timber.
The Marmion is forty feet long, hand
somoly proportioned and strongly con-
structed, and was built by Mr.. Fitzhugh's
con, only eighteen years of age, Isaac by
name. His father is justly proud of the
work, which would do credit to a skilful
shipbuilder, surrounded by every con-
venience. The boat will have q twenty
horse power boiler and a Colt Dice ea-
gine put in her by the Merrill Stevens
Company. She will be usedSin towing

A Jumper's Feats.

Darby, the Irish athlete, goes through
no exceptional training, unless for q
special contest. He keeps himself in
trim by q little boxing, careful dietary
and keeping clear of alcohol almost to the
extent of teetotalism.
He jumps in clogs tipped with steel,
the most unsuitable footgear, the un-
initiated might suppose, for the purpose.
Joseph Darby is advertised as champion
jumper of the world, but this scarcely
conveys an idea of what he accomplishcs,
for most people would suppose that he
did nothing beyond ordinar.! broad and
high jumps.
How mistaken they would be may be
gathered from the following, which are
but fraction of his feats: Standing
high jump, five feet six inches, with ankles
tied; two standing jumps, twenty-six feet
seven aud half inches; three standing
jumps, forty-one feet seven inches; four
standing jumps, fifty feet four inches,
clearing fifteen feet five inches in the last
jump; six backward jumps, ffty-four
feet; jumping from an ordinary brick,
end up, over bedroom chair, on to an.
other brick, end up, thence over bar five
feet six inches; three jumps, clearing
chair standing on table in last jump;
jumping from bfick over two horses /;
clearing twenty.three feet eight inches in
two jumps, jumping over chair on to
mans face without hurting man.
Where arc our "champions," who
scramble over five feet six or eight and
perhaps clear.twenty or twenty-onc feetf
Tho point in the brick and tumbler jumps
is that the jumper must not upset either,
and in this Darby does not fail once

How to Keen Fish When Caught.

The angler should take care of his fish
after he has caught them: 1t is discred-
table to fetch back lot Of sun and wind
dried fish, oil curlcd up and stiff. Put
a handful of grass or ferns in the bottom
of the creel and kill the fish as soon as
caught by hitting them q sharp blow on
the back of the head. If the weather is
hot, clean the morning catch at noon,
and every few hours dip the creel in the
stream. The best way to keep fish to
take home is as follows: Clean them
thoroughly, taking care to remove the
gills and the blood under the backbone,
wipe dry inside and out, but do not wash
them; sprinkle them inside with black
pepper, but on no account use salt.
Pack in cool, fresh grass and keep them
in the shade. If ice is used it should be
