Heavens A rfilIarv

The largest rainfall on earth has been
recorded at Chera Punji, on the Bay OF
Bengal, but the most violent thunder
storms ever observed are probably those
OF French Guiana. At Cape Orange,
some forty miles south of Cayenne, Cap
tain Ellert, of the French navy, saw the
rills of the coast hills turned into water
falls by a cloudburstlike storm, while the
crashing of thunder peals was incessant
and often almost deafening, so much So
indeed, that some of the sailors began to
mutter long forgotten prayers--probably
thinking the day of Judgment near at
hand.--New York Telegram

The Scents of Flowers.

In popular acceptation, the soul of the
flower resides in its perfume. But GER
tain loveliest flower souls sometimes ex-
erclse singular repellences for individuals
Of the human family. There have been
those even who could not endure the
fragrance of the rose. To my knowl-
edge one observer finds in the scent of
lllacs an unpleasant reminder of the
odor OF escaping gas. Another makes
no distinction between the breath of
mignonette and the smell of fresh corn
meal. To me the scent of the thistle is
Identical with that of the bumblebee

same had noted in downy chicks and
nesting birds
Besides the qualification which flowers
provide for the sense of sight and the
sense OF smell, there is another and quite
distinct pleasure-that which is CON
veyed IN the contact of flower: as in a
subtle spray OF lilacs brushing against
your face, the dabbling touches of the
SNOWFALL, the tender GOODNESS of apple
blossoms dashed with rain, the. refined
sickness of the lily, which gave an old
time poet countenance in describing his
lady's hand; so smooth, so white, SO soft

Earthworms and Salt Water.

A very important fact in the economy
of earthworms is their susceptibility to
salt water; they are for the most part
soon killed by an immersion in salt
water, and it appears that their eggs are
also incapable of withstanding its infiu-
ence for a prolonged period. However,
the eggs are not deposited singly. but
are inclosed in large numbers in an egg
case OF leathery consistence, which
may be, for time at least, impermeablp
to sea water. 1t is therefore Just con
celvable that the cocoons might cross in
safety narrow sea inclosed in ball of
earth upon the roots of floating tree
But it seems certain that very long
time does not elapse before the eggs in
the cocoon are fatally injured by the
sea-water. The only exception at pres
ent known is an earthworm which is
found in heaps of cast up seaweed On
the seashores of the Mediterranean and
North sea.-Chambers' Journal

A Story of General Logan.

THAT is remarkable story about
Mrs. John A. Logan, remarked gen
tleman to a party of friends the other
evening. "A few months before her
husbands death she had been with
him to New Mexico for his health, and
when they had returned to Chicago a
young girl of twenty, who had been a
favorite with General Logan since her
childhood, came in to see them in the
evening, and he jokingly asked her what
she had learned since he saw her last
She said she had been studying palm
istry, and he held out his hand and
laughingly told her to read his fortune.
Her face became serious at the first
glance and she told him that death
was marked in it, and that unless he
changed his method of living and
working and got rest he would be in his
grave speedily.
"Mrs. Logan, who stood by, observed
that this revelation had disturbing eff
feet on her husband, and with some re-
assuring remark and laugh held out
her hand and told the young lady to
read her hand. The girl took it, looked
at the lines an instant, and burst out
crying. You will be widow within
six months, sobbed the young palmist,
dropping the hand. And in less time
than that the nation was mourning the
loss of Senator Logan and Mrs. Logan
was widow" New York Truth.

Musical Sounds and Noise.

1t is a curious fact that musical sounds
fly farther and are heard at a greater
distance than those which are more loud
and noisy. If we go on the outside of a
town during fair, at the distance of a
mile we hear the musical instruments.
but the din of the multitude, which is so
overpowering in the place, can scarcely
be heard, the noise dying on the spot
To those who are conversant with the
power Of musical instruments the fol-
lowing observation will be understood:
The violins made at Cremona about the
year 1900 are superior in tone to any of a
later date, age seeming to dispossess
them of their noisy qualities and leaving
nothing but the pure tone. If modern
violin is played by the side of one Of
those instruments it will appear much
the louder of the two. but on receding a
hundred PAGES, when compared with the
Cremona, it will scarcely be heard

Two Quick for Him.

The only man who ever was too quick
for Joe Dye, the bad man of Ventura,
was Petroleum Scott, the old Ventura
oil man, tall, wiry, nervous chap, who
would be the terror Of stenographers if
he were a public speaker. Phillips
Brooks is a leisurely drawler compared
to Scott. Scott and Dye had legal con-
test over an oil claim on the Sespe, and,
while the case was pending, Scott pru-
IDENTIFY avoided discussing it with Joe,
whose temper and trigger finger were
VIGOROUSLY quick and apt to act in con-
cert.
One day Scott and Dye met in Santa
Paula and. sitting down at a table to-
gether, chatted about things in general.
Scott carefully abstained from talking
about oil claims, but Joe finally preached
the subject and made some statement
about the records that was not correct
This is the way Scott tells the story:
Without thinking, said, Joe, you're a
liar and as soon as the words were out
of my mouth he yanked his revolver and
stuck it under my nose. But was too
quick for him. | took it all back before
he could shoot. San Francisco Argo-

Piper Legends.

The Wends, who, we believe, are the
ancestors of the modern Prussians, are
the center of many legends, The Pied
Piper of Hamelin was a Wend; so also
was the piper of the Hartz mountains,
who appeared so many days year, and
played unearthly tunes. and whatsoever
heard at once fell into frenzy, from
which there was no escaping. All these
pied and weird pipers assembled once a
year at the Broken, where there was a
general carnival, tie Arch Fiend lead
ing the concert on violin, witches roll
ing around and fiddling on the skulls of
horses, and the pipers adding the con-
cert of their unholy instrumental Cham

People who Have No Time to Read.

1t is rather remarkable how the thou
sands who patronize the postoffice lack
eyes. A little while ago there were
signs and notices enough about the
building to give any one who looked all
the information necessary about the ar
rival and the departure of mails and the
other matters about which those who
used the building would naturally want
to know. But the clerks had to answer
so many questions that the postmaster
established a Bureau of Information,
where all questions should be cheerfully
answered by clerk with nothing else to
do. And now, although the stamp win
dows are conspicuously placed and plain
ly marked, it has been found necessary
to put up over the window of the inquiry
bureau, in addition to its sign as such, a
sign reading: mo stamps sold here. y
The clerk had as many requests for
stamps as he did for information. New

Earthworms in the New World

It is remarkable fact that in two
kinds of earthworms, inhabitants of the
New World, the little bristles, which are
the locomotive appendages, are greatly
enlarged in the tail segments. In one
Of these, the Diachata windlei, the bris-
ties in question are enormously enlarged
and of hooklike form, so that the
creature must be able to retain a very
firm grip upon the soil. These facts are
surprising, as an earthworm is perhaps
an animal in which we should not ex-
pect much manifestation of intellect;
but, on the other hand, Mr.. Romanes'
discoveries about the intellectual posi-.
bilities of Sally. the chimpanzee, may
be regarded as having moved the whole
animal creation up a peg or two in men

A Curious Palm of South America

One of the most curious palms in the
world is called the. "Ita," and is very
abundant on the banks Of the Amazon,
Bio Negro and Orinoco rivers, In the
delta of the latter it occupies swampy
tracks, which are at times completely
inundated and present the appearance Of
forests rising out of the water The
swamps are inhabited by tribe of In
dams called Guaranes, who subsist al
most entirely upon the produce of the
tree. During the annual foods they sus-
pend their houses from tops of the tall
stems of the palms The outer skin Of
the young leaves is made into cords for
hammocks. and the soft inner bark yields
a nutritious faripaceous substance.-In-
terview in Washington Star.

On the Brides Arm.

Mrs. Gregg had one of the prettiest
weddings that ever took place in the
Massachusetts town in which she lives.
But there was one odd incident Of the
occasion which few of her friends who
are in the secret recall with much an,use,
ment. Although lady of quiet taste,
Mrs. Gregg wore something which GER
. tainly no bride ever wore before.
Her wedding present from her old
friend DIR. Jameson was an exquisite af-
fair of lace, embroidery and white satin
ribbon, which he had brought from
Paris. Itcame just rs the wedding party
were starting for the church.
"What a lovely bagl'' exclaimed the
bride; II am going to wear it. That
will please dear DR.. Jameson" and slip
ping the white satin strings over her arm
she thought no more of it until after the
ceremony.
THAT is beautiful bag, and so odd. :"
II never saw bag like it. The mate
rial is beautiful" commented some of her
friends.
Il suppose the style is new" replied
Mrs. Gregg. "Dr. Jameson brought it
to me from Paris. l am delighted with
it,"
"Did you put anything in it," asked
DR.. Jameson, who had been listening to
this conversation with a smile that was
suspiciously near laugh
"No," replied Mrs. Gregg: "rll put
my handkerchief in. What - why -
why, there's no bottom in it. What is
it, DR.. Jameson"
"Well," replied DR.. Jameson Il
bought it for a lamp shader'
And it was lamp shade, edged with
lace and drawn up at the top with white
satin ribbon.-Youth's Companion.

TWO KINGS.

One was king of ruthless power
no spnrned his peoples trust,
All whiteness from his soul erased
BY tyranny and lust.
one was monarch just to all
Within his kingdoms reach.
His creed of charity and love
Flowered in act and speech.
The tyrant on a sumptuous couch
Outbreathed his final breath.
And his life lapsed all unconsciously
From tranquil sleep to death.
The king beloved by grateful hearts
throughout his prosperous land,

Among the great masses who must
toll for their daily bread, certainly many
have not yet devoted themselves to till
ing the soil, and on this account their
enemies have devised the charge that
Jews are of no use in agriculture, that
they are averse to all hard work. Here
also experience gives a refutation. In
the lands where Jews have been per-
mitted to acquire landed property. where
they have found opportunity to devote
themselves to agriculture, they have
proved themselves excellent farmers.
For example, in Hungary they form "a
very large part of the tillers of the soil,
and this fact is acknowledged to such an
extent that the high Catholic clergy in
Hungary almost exclusively have Jews
as tenants on mortmain properties, and
almost all large landholders give prefer
| ence to the Jews on account of their in
| dustry, their rectitude and their dex-
terity. These are facts that cannot be
hid, and that have force, so that the
anti-Semitic movement, which for a
long time f1ourished in Hungary, must
expire.

rubbed chloroform on his hands expected
to win, but the other happened to know
that male wasps do not sting, and ac-

it suddenly let go his wasp. The other
