Mr.. kerkam's Analysis OF the Warmcst
December on Record.


The following scientific criticism and
review of the phenomenal weather Of
last month is from the pen OF the gifted
editor of the Louisiana Weather Jour
nal, Capt. r. f. Kerkam. The article
appeared in The Journal of Janu-
airy 10:
The past month was the warmest
and dryest December on record. De-
cember Of lS4S is reported to have
been an unusually warm month, but
there were a number of frosts record
ed in that month, and an average fall
of rain made it still more unlike the
unparalleled weather of December,
1889.
The coolest days were generally the
LIST and End, although slight cold
wave on the s0th and 3lst In the north
ern section gave temperatures at cer-
tain stations as low as those reported
on the first few days of the month.
The dates of highest temperature
ranged anywhere between the 9th and
S0th. The average maximum temper
ature was from 20 degrees in North

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT nArg
How This Popular Song Was Written
From an Incident in Ireland.

The man who perpetrated that
musical atrocity, "Where Did You Get
That Hat n has been discovered. His
name is Joe Sullivan. He is an actor.
This is the only thing he ever wrote.
AT the present time he Is playing with
a travelling theatrical company in a
distant part of the country, and is
recognized as comedian of no mean
ability. Frank Harding, the New
York music publisher, tells the story
of how and where the author obtained
his inspiration.
Tom O'Driscoll, the harum-scarum
grandson of old Murtagh O'Driscoll. of
Cobbynaul, in the County of Roscom-
mon, Ireland, was famous for bis per.
sonal peculiarities. One of these was
all aversion to wearing "caubeen." 1t
was Toms delight to wander through
the country bareheaded and barefoot
ed. The fact that he wore no shoes
excited no comment, but his refusal to
wear hat was distress to his family.
The fact is that Tom did not really
need hat, for he had been provided
by nature with shock of luxuriant
red hair. He was known for miles
around as the red-headed man, and his
adornment brought down upon Tom
the anger of his grandfather, Murtagh.
Just before his death old Murtagh
conceived the idea which he was al
most certain would bring his erring
grandson to his "siven schmall sinses,"
and few days afterward he died.
Tom refused to wear a hat even at
the funeral. On the return of the
family from the ehurchyard the will
was opened and read by Father
O'IIoolahan, and to the surpise of all
1t was found that Tom inherited every
thing, including the big stock of
"goold" that could be found "bechune
the tick and the boulster in the ould
four-posther," on condition that for the
remainder of his natural life he should
wear his grandfather's hat on all occa-
sions in the open air.
I This was regarded as hard condi-
tion by Tom, but, possessing his share
of good, common sense, he accepted
the inevitable, and presented himself
on the following Sunday at church
wearing old Murtagh's hat. His ap-
pearance was ludicrous in the extreme.
Having neglected to get his hair cut,
the hat was perched on the top of re-
markable crop of bushy and fiery hair,
and the roars of laughter with which
be was saluted made Tom almost wish
he had not accepted the onerous con-
ditions Of his grandfather's will. From
all sides came gibes and cries of de-
rislon, the principal salutation being,
another o. Moses Where did you
get that hatT
From this story the song was writ
ten by Sullivan.-New York Mail and
Express.

NORTHERN PACIFIC EARNINGS

The advance in the prices of Northern Pacific stocks
Is worthy of mention and yet most natural The values
nut upon these shares BY forced sales did not affect
the intrinsic worth of the property and that this iact
was appreciated by investors large and small Is seen
from the very large sales Of preferred and common
durinc the last ten days. Berlin has been heavy
buver as well as a large number of our own small
canitalists The confidence in the property Is well
deserved The increases in the earnings of the North
ern Pacific have been phenomenal. For the quarter
ending September 80 1890, there was an increase In
gross earnings over the quarter of 1850 OF hai
n million dollars, and this was in the face OF an In
crease of more than million dollars in 1883 over
1888 such constant growth has rarely been seen
among our railroads. The net earnings for the Sep
tember quarter suiced to the quarterly dividend
lust declared and leave more than 100000 surplus
These increases gross earnings continue, the month
Of October showing gain OF 100000 over 1851
Evidently the Northern Pacific Is prospering.
If the reason of the present success OF the northern
Pacific asked for the answer seems 10 he that IL Is
de principally to the wisdom and foresight OF Henry
Willard who saw its great future and requirements
and who energeticay and successfully made possible
that prosperity which the road Is now enjoying. IL
was the Investments of German capital which hrsi
gave the Northern Pacific its great start and 1t Is stated
that Mr. Willard has sailed for New York with more
backing from German bankers than ever The re
covcry in prices of Northern Pacific stocks In the MARKER
seems to indicate that the recent decline must be
ascrbed TO other causes than the lack OF intrinsic value
causes really starting IN Europe and which DO not
affect the question of Its wise management.
