FOUND DEAD.
Perished in the Snow from Ex-
posture.

On Saturday the 2lst of February,
Jerry Harrington, miner employed at
the Mendha mine, came to town on
business, which he transacted, and
about o'clock in the afternoon set out
on foot on his return for the mine, nine
miles distant. That was the day on
which the late storm set in and there
was no communication with the mine for
some time thereafter. Several days
elapsed before it was known Harrington
had failed to reach his destination, and
search along the main road failed to find
him.
Last Monday Ed. Lynch left town on
horseback for the Mendha mine, and
knowing that Harrington was missing,
he took road from the point, s miles
from town, which leads by way of the
brewery. After progressing a mile he
came upon the body of Harrington by
the roadside partly covered with snow.
There were no tracks of any description
about the body. Lynch rode on to the
Mendha mine and team was sent out
which brought the body into town that
evening and it was buried the following
day. Deceased complained for several
days before coming to town of not feeling
well, and he no doubt became exhausted
battling against the storm and gave up
the fight.
A coroner's inquest held on the remains
brought out the above facts and a
verdict was found accordingly.

How Spocls Are Made.

Birch wood is preferred. The wood is
first sawed into sticks four or five feet long
and seven-eight rs of an inch to three inches
square, according to the size of the spool to
be produced. These sticks are thoroughly
seasoned. They are sawed into short blocks
and dried in hot air kiln. At the time
they are sawed holes are bored perpendicu-
larly through each block which is set on
end under rapidly revolving, long shanked
augur. Next, one whirl of each little block
against some little knives that are turning
at lightning speed fashions it into a spool
according to the pattern desired. and that,
too, at the rate of one a second for each set
of knives. A row of small boys feed the
spool making machines by simply placing
the blocks in 8 spout, selecting the best
and throwing out the knotty and defective
stock. The machine is automatic, but there
are some things which it cannot do, hence
the employment of the small boys above
mentioned. After the spools are turned
they are placed in large drum and re-
volved rapidly until they have taken on a
fine polish. For some special purposes they
are dyed yellow, black or red, according
to taste When one sees spool of thread
marked ''200'' or 1900 yards it does not sig
nifty that the thread has been measured,
but that the spool has been gagged, and is
supposed to have that amount of thread
upon it, says The Implement Herald.

The MANCHOT.

ments on land are so clumsy that he is
obliged TO use the cluster of strong feath-
ers forming the tip OF the tail as an addi-
tional means Of support when standing up
right. In the water, however, the limbs
which are of So little use to it on land en-
able it TO move with the greatest swiftness
and ease.
The color of these birds is a pure white
on the under part of the body, and black
or grayish blue above Bands of a yellow
ish color have sometimes been observed on
the breast and the sides of the neck, and
tufts of bright yellow feathers about the
eye. A popularity of the plumage of the
adult male bird is the dark band surround
ing the lower part of the body, as shown
in the illustration. The average length of
the birds is about two feet.
The eggs are laid on rocky islands and on
cliffs bordering the sea. The nest is rough
ly constructed of stones and shells, the
principal object being apparently TO raise
the eggs from he ground and keep them
dry. Usually single egg only is found
in the nest, OF pure white color and
globular in for N, like that of duck. After
five weeks incubation the young manchots
make their apl earance, and are fed from
the beaks of their parents with partially
digested food regurgitated from the stom-
ach. After the responsibility for their
young ceases the old birds commence to
moult, and remain in a sort of stupor
until the new feathers are grown and 1t is
safe for them 20 take to the water once
more.
When removed to the mort bern hemis-
phere the manchot tends instinctively to
delay the nesting season about six months,
to correspond with the difference in the
seasons between thetwo hemispheres. In
termediate types of animals like the bird
described are the strongest witnesses 70

Direction of Wind in Thunderstorms.

a correspondent writes to Science, from
Lyons, y. Y, as follows: 1t has been no.
ticed in connection with thunderstorms in
stance there has been an outflow of air in
every direction from the storm, extending
even beyond the area of precipitation and
cloudiness. For example, in the case of
storm appearing upon the southwestern
horizon and moving due east, and passing
thence three or four miles south of this viii
lage, the weather vane pointed directly to-
ward 1t continuously, veering slowly from
southwest to southeast, showing that the
wind came stes lilly from the storm The
same thing also occurred in the case of
storm which appeared upon the north
western horizon and moved eastward pass
ing three or four miles north of the village.
In this case the vane pointed directly to-
ward the storm throughout, the winds
being quite brisk. In other instances in
which the storms passed directly over the
village the sane thing was manifest, the
yane shifting sharply from west to east IS
the storms passed. In previous years :
have noticed the puff of wind in front of
an advancing thunderstorm moving in the
same direction IS the storm itself and &C.
curing just before the rain began TO fall,
but my attention has never been called to
such an outflow Of air in every direction as
has been apparent in connection with
thunderstorms recently. Whatever may
be its explanation, it certainly is entirely

Keep the Passions in Check.

An old man was once walking with lit
tie boy. They came across four shrubs The
old man said to his youthful companions:
Pull up the least one
He obeyed with ease.
Now the next"
He obeyed, but it did not come so easily
And the third"
1t took all his strength to move its roots,
but he succeeded.
Now the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his strength
He only made the leaves tremble; he could
not move the roots. They had gone strongly
into the earth, and no effort could disIodge
them.
Then the wise old man said to the ardent
youth:
This, my son, is just what happens with
our passions. When they are young and
weak, one may, by a little watchfulness
over self and the help of little self denial
easily tear them up: but if we let them cast
their roots deep into our souls. there is no
human power can uproot them. For this
reason, my child, watch well over the first
movements Of your soul, aud study, by acts
of virtue. TO keep your passions well in
check. '-Goldeu DAYS.

Out of this sum must be taken the

a dangerously small working balance
when the government is spending So

These items make total of Sl46 &c.,

in the debt statement itself. either $685.

bookkeeping. At any rate this is the
fund which congress diverted from its
purpose, and most, if not all, of which
has been expended.
THERE'S already deficiency of at
least S23 900, 900 and no net balance at
all, according to the secretary's official
statement, and no other result can be
reached except by ignoring liabilities and
unavail able assets. Honest business
men never do that"
A short time ago the Chicago Inter
Ocean said the surplus was building up
at the rate of q million day. That was
an assertion. The facts don't bear out
the assertion. The Pittsburgh Post gives
the figures as follows: The receipts OF
the treasury were IS, 4s5. 232 less than in
July of last year, while the payments
from the treasury were So. 462 I'll more

income for the month by the enormous
amount of 50 419, 3O6 1t is interesting
and important to note that this
overwhelming excess of ex-
penditure is not due to any of the causes
which republican apo!ogists are wont to
allege in excuse for the waste of money.
That is TO cay, the pension payments in
July were, by chance. less than in the
same month of 1890. and not dollar has
yet been paid out either for subsidies or
bounties. The second year of republican
appropriations, in short, opens with a
staggering excess of expenditure for
''civil and miscellaneous" purposes, the
fruit of Speaker Reeds legislation 1t is
not easy to see where this will end. At
the present pace, the $4,000, 900 avail
able cash in the treasury will disappear,
together with the bank deposits, before
