The poet scout. Jack Craw-
ford, rode into Deadwood. one
night during the Black Hills
excitement, and tie boys
bore HIM on their backs to the
nearest saloon. There was
nothing in the camp too good
for Jack. He must take Il
drink. He declined, entreated
and begged to b. excused.
They would not have 1t that
way. He had TO drink.
In that emergency he order

the glass to The :brim he held it
aloft and said:
boys, I love you and l
know you feel a big regald for
me. You SAY | must drink. I
will obey. But first 1 want to

of drinking. When she was

NA prominent gentleman
of Wayne county. while in
St. Louis last week. was enticed
into the boudoir of one of the
demi monde of the City, and
after having partaken of few
potaiions of Gambrinus' brew
ing drifted into the realms of
morpheus and was fieeced of
$3.50 and a fine gold watch. In
other words his 'credulity was
taken advantage of, on the
score of old acquaintance sake
and business, and he was drug
ged and robbed.
EMajor J. B. Dennis of
Cape Glrardeau has this to say
of his little City: We have a
population of about 5000, and
the town is growing. Real es.
tate is going up, but prices are
still very cheap, and there are
chances for good speculation
Arrangements are now being
perfected for the organization OF
a national bank. and we also
expect new railroad connection
either the Iron Mountain OF
the Cotton Belt, most probably
the latter. For many years
the town was handicapped by a
debt of S300,O0o, which was
compromised, and since then
real estate has been going up
and the town generally has
been growing. Taxes, includ:
ing city, county and State are
very light, and these are great
Inducements for real estate
purchasers. During the last
two years the growth Of the
town has been remarkable, anC
present indications are that the
next census will show tha

How much the happiness Of individual
lives is made up Of priceless things, un-
-7'Rble in the coin Of the land, yet found
quhkly when the heart Of the searcher
honestly desires theml Many Of these
real treasures are qualities that simply
diffuse themselves through the moral
and mental atmosphere, and are some
times little valued, because they seem
too vaporous and too Elusive 10 be prac-
tically grasped; but they are genuine
possessions and won by heart service.
Who does not rejoice to have an hon
orable name-not necessarily distin-
guished name, but clean onel Truly,
pride in such an inheritance, which can
not be bought Is justiiable II with II
there are mingled a feeling OF humility
and a desire TO do ones own part 20
transmit the name as unsullied a. Il has
been bestowed. What makes home love
dearer and sweeter than all else, and
treasured while life lastsf Not the tables
and chairs, not the delicacy Of porcelain
or the aesthetic beauty which the loom
achieves.
These minister to the comfort, taste
and artistic nature; but beyond these
there is something which ministers 10
the heart and soul, glorfying plain sur
roundlngs and homely detail
thing Elusive to measure or weight, "
potent TO guide, TO comfort and 10 help.
What is this but the sympathy, the
trust, the spirit Of sacrifice, the gentle
ness, the faith, the readiness 10 DO and
to bear, which, blended together, make
the chain that binds us to our homesS-

Cyclone and Tornado.

A cyclone, properly speaking, .is q
storm covering a vast extent of country
some are one or two thousand miles in
diameter-and having a system of'winds
which really blow spirally round sand
gradually in toward the center of the
storm, although, owing to the great ex.
tent Of the storm, the wind at any par.
ticular place seems 10 be blowing straight
ahead.
Near and around the center, and espe-
cially ahead of it, for the whole storm
advances generally toward the east yor
northeast, rain falls In greater or less
quantities. At the center the air is
lightest or the pressure shown by the
barometer is least, and that is the rea-
son the winds are all drawn in that di.
rection. The spiral motion arises from
the effects Of the rotation Of the earth.
Almost every storm that we have, yex.
cept summer thunder showers, is a cy.
clonic storm.
A tornado is fierce whirlwind whose
path is generally only few rods wide
although it may travel for many miles
destroying everything in its way. A
black, funnel shaped cloud is always q
feature Of the tornado. This funnel Il
formed by condensed vapor and clouds
Of dust and debris in the very core Of
the whirlwind, and wherever it passes
nothing but the solid ground can with
stand it.-Youth's Companion.

The general aspect Of the interior Of a

startling and grandly impressive. Here
heat, flame and liquid metal are ever

flashing and flaming, that illuminAtes

black that they suggest the "black fire"
Of Milton, for in such place 1t Is Inn
possible for a shadow to be cool; half
naked, muscular men, begrimed with
sweat and dust, fit about; clouds Of
steam arise from attempts to cool in
some degree the roasting earth Of the
floor; converters roar, vibrate and vomit
flames mingled with splashes of metal
from their white hot throats; at inter
walls the scorching air is filled with a
rain Of coruscating burning iron.
Ingot molds lift mouths parched with
thirst that can only be appeased for a
short time by streams Of liquid steel that
run gurgling into them; the stalwart
cranes rise, swing and fall, loading scores
of tons of red hot steel upon cars Of ironi

suggestive Of the realms Of Pluto than
any other in the whole range of metal.

No other member Of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if its calf is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
intention of killing it, for if this is done
the mother will instantly forsake it, If
alive and struggling, however, the dam
can be easily enticed toward the boatfo
meet its fate, Knowing this, the whale
fishermen always strike calf If posi-
BILE, and thus often make captures that
could not be effected under other cir
cumstances.
As soon as the dam becomes aware of
the snaring Of her young she rushes to-
ward It, encourages 1t to swim away,
and even assists by taking it under her
fin. She seems TO lose all regard for her
own safety, and boldly attacks the boat
containing the whalemen, or circles
about It totally regardless of the har-
poons that are hurled at her and enter

south American Love Making.
An tho love making in South America
must be carried ON through a third per
son. If a youth desires TO marry he
does not speak Of IL 20 the girl whom he
wishes for a wife, but 20 his own father.
The latter if he approves, goes to the
father Of the young lady and the two
discuss the matter together. Each tells
tho other what he win do for the young
folks, and between them contract Is
drawn mp respecting settlements and all
such things.
The intending bridegroom Is not per-
mitted TO see his fnncee Tor a moment
before the wedding As soon as that
event has taken place there Is a wedding
breakfast, and usually without the for
mality OF preliminary tour, the couple
settle down 10 living, either in an es-
tahlishment Of their own or more often
In the house Of the parents Of the bride
OF the groom.
One drawback about marriage In
South America Is that in taking a girl
10 wife it Is apt 30 be considered a mat
ter Of course that the young man mar
ries her whole family also. He has no
occasion for surprise or disgruntlement
/ IT, together with his bride, fifteen or
twenty people come 20 share his house
hold and domestic comforts, including
all her available relatives and their serv-
ants.
These Latins are a very clannish race,
and father is apt 20 be willing 10 adopt
a raft Of sisters and cousins and aunis,
not 10 mention a mother-in-law, rather
than have his son or daughter leave tho
family root It Is due TO the strength

Kahn mentions having seen a rattle
snake "lying at the bottom Of tree on
which squirrel was seated, fixing its
eyes on the little animal, which from
that moment cannot move or escape, but
begins a doleful outcry, comes toward
the snake, runs little bit away, comes
nearer, and finally is swallowed" But,
as if to show that this result Of bewil-
derment is not al to be put down to
the eye alone, Dr, Andrew Smith says:
~ have heard of cases in which ante
lopes and other quadrupeds have been
so bewildered by the sudden appearance
of crocodiles, by the grimaces and con-
tortions they practiced, as to be unable
to fly or move from the spot toward
which the crocodiles were approaching
to seize them"
This power is in the human animal
often developed to a very great extent,
and the part that the eye plays in fasci-
mating fellow creature by mesmerism
thus opening the way to almost in
finite psychical results and unveiling un-
known depths of possibility-is decidedly
great in proportion to the magnetic force
Of the system, or rather the mind, for
which it acts.-Chambers' Journal.
