When to Wear Rubbers.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter
Much Of the discomfort OF rubber
shoes would be avoided if the wea1ers
Of them were a little more discrimi
mating, Rubbers are of incstimable
value in wet weather, but they should
be instantly removed when the pave
ments become dry. Being water
proof, they prevent the escape of the
natural exhalations OF the skin. Wet
feet resulting from confined prespra-
tion are often more injurious than an
unprotected exposure to the elements
would be. Rubbers, like umbrellas
should be used only transiently.

away to sleep with kindred and friends
in the old family cemetery at Weaver's
in Sullivan county. As the dull, sad
sound of the cold damp clods fell on
his little coffin board, the melting
strains:
ave shall sleep, but not forever
There will be glorious dawn
We shall meet to part no never,
On the resurrection morn"

and resounded on the farther shore.

ALL WE'RE ASLEEP.

The storm struck Brownsville while its
inhabitants slept, and had done its terrible
work before the real situation was realized.
1t came from southwesterly direction, and
was preceded by a rumbling noise, which
lasted a few seconds, and then burst upon
the town in appalling fury. The business
houses that suffered most are as follows:
Kings hardware store, Mann's opera
house, Causes photograph gallery,
kiss & LyIe's dry goods store,
Scott & Lords glass and drug store, Fannie
& Thomas grocery, Winston s. Wilders'
dry goods store, and the cotton compress. The
Jewish synagogue, Methodist church, Bap-
tist female college and court house were
also unroofed and otherwise damaged. The
only life reported lost is that Of Mrs. James
Cooper, wife Of an engineer. A tree fell
across her house, crushing il in, killing her
and badly injuring two Of her daughters.
wHIsKED THROUGH MARIANNA.
At Mariana, Ark, the new Christian
church was completely demolished, Besser's
cotton shed was blown away and roofs of
several other buildings were lifted off.
About three miles west of town a school
with sixty-fve children in it was blown
from its foundation, but no one was hurt.
HIGH WATER AT BATEsvILLE.
The White river at Batesville, Ark, rose
five feet in few hours, washing away cul-
verts and delaying trains badly. Three
houses were blown down near Riverside and
several buildings hattened out in the south
eastern portion of the county.
THE HOT SPRINGS OBSERVATORY GONE.
At Hot Springs the old observatory,
which has stood for several years on the
summit of Hot Springs mountain, and from
whose top thousands of visitors have viewed
the surrounding country, was leveled to the
ground by the gale. The storm played
havoc with the entire country between
Hot Springs and the Oauchita river.
Many farm houses were torn to atoms, and
the path of the storm is one mass of wrecked
timber. Large trees were uprooted, and in
many places the roads are completely block
AIDED by fallen timber. 1t is not yet known
whether any lives were lost, but that there
were is more than probable, owing to the
destruction of so many farm houses.
Considerable damage was done to build
ings and fences at Little Rock, and at Alex
ander, near that place, a school house was
blown down and nine children injured.
The storm in Memphis was severe, but no
material damage was done.
