METEOROLOGICAL.

Another Revolving Storm up North
Snow East Of the Rockies.
The Signal Service temperature at 5 A.
NJ. and P. NJ. yesterday was 36o and $50
while the highest and lowest temperature
was $50 and $50, with brisk southerly
winds and partly clouded sky. The
barometrical readings at A. NJ. and P
NJ. were 29.S5 and 29.99 inches, showing &
rapid rise in the past twenty-four hours
sure indication of changeable and un.
settled weather.
The highest and lowest temperature
one year ago yesterday was 460 and $50
with LIS inches of rainfall, and one veal
ago to-day 560 and 3S0, with .96 of an incl
| of precipitation.
There appears to be-judging from thu
weather reports received yesterday-an
other revolving storm approaching the
| land off Vancouver Island. The barom
eter was quite low in Washington anc
Oregon, with an appreciable precipita
ton. The weather up north was moderat
ing. A snow-storm prevailed through
out the Platte Valley, east of the Rocky
Mountains, and also extended Throughout
Iowa and northern Illiuois.

Graybaok's Perpetual SHOWS.

A party of local explorers, among
whom were the Rev. j. II. Cross and
Rev. A. A. Holden, has just returned
from an excursion to the top of Gray
back, a noted mountain that stands
guard on the north side Of San Gorge
MO pass. After spending the night on
the peak the party started to return by
a different route. On their journey they
saw a canyon about 600 feet deep, with
perpendicular walls, and on peering over
the side, snow was seen at the bottom.
Going to the mead of the canyon they
found a place where they could slide
down, and n by one the party took
the risk.
After sliding several hundred feet they
came to a body of ice and snow, which
they followed down. 1t was nearly a
mile in length, and from the cracks it
was a~scertained that the ice was about
25 feet thick by go feet wide. Large
powders a big as a house were lying on
top of the ice. There was no appear
ance of the glacier melting, and the sun
does not reach the bottom of the canyon
more han an hour each day. That the
glacier possessed motion was proved by
the act that immense rocks were pushed
forward out of their beds by masses of
ice and snow.
The bottom of the cracks was of a
dirty %yellowish color and looked very
old. There is n stream of water flowing
from the lower end, probably fed by
springs under the glacier and mass of
ice, which may have benin that canyon
for ages. BY testing the Thermometer
in boiling water Grayback was found to
be exactly IL 800 feet above the sea level.
Water was boiled at 1893 dogs. Fahren-
heit.
The camp was some 5000 feet below
the peak, and one of the party on the top
tried his voice and shouted in the direc-
ton of the camp, and those who re-
manned below stated that they heard the
voice family. The temperature on the
top OF the peak was 80 dogs. at 4 o'clock
in the morning, but small lake up there
was frozen and covered with snow

The sash never obtained much favor
among men who dress particularly well;
there was something about it hat was
too 'dressy" and conspicuous to suit a
quiet taste, and this summer it is con-
sidered almost obsolete. The narrow,
plain russell belt is now declared to be
the thing to wear with flannel suits.
The flannel shirt also seems a thing of
the past and is replaced by cheviots and
Oxfords. These shirts are laundered
without starch, with the exception of
collars and cuffs, which are stiff and are
generally worn with gold studs.
The delicate colors of pink and blue
which seem to be the favorite this
season are very becoming, and look par
ticularly well with white ~fannels.
White flannel trousers with a light gray
homespun jacket, russell belt, and chew
lot shirt look always decidedly good
form, while the narrow striped flannel
suits, with Goa and trousers to match,
still hold their own as general favorites.
In the way of shoes russell leather Ok
fords are worn as much rs ever, but the
colors are rather darker than last year.
In fact a well dressed man is almost al
ways eminently quiet" in his colors,
although the bright red neckties worn
this year with gray and brown suits are
such pretty innovations in the way of
color that they have become very popu-
lar.-New York Tribune.

The Judge FINED HimseIf.

Perhaps the most disguised man in
Somerset county is a justice of the
peace, who is the owner of a fine gar
den, the pride of his heart. The other
day he was informed that an unruly COW
had wrought ~desolation in his Eden, and
ne at once ordered the animal sent to the
pound. Then he went up to view the
wreck, and after noting the vacant
places where the beets and corn had
been, the tranpled down ~squashes and
c~abbages, and the d~emoralized pea vines
and sunflowers, and ascertaining, as he
supposed, the owner of the COW, he
made out a writ against that individual.
containing fourteen different and dis
tinct counts, including trespass, forcible
entry, malicious mischief, nuisance,
riotous and disorderly conduct, and as
ault and battery with intent to kill.
1t was then that he learned hat the
trespasser was his own COW, and his ire
cooled as he meekly paid a field driver
for getting her out of the pound.-Fair-

A practical joke on n large scale has
been perpetrated ut Hernals, a suburb Of
Vienna. There is n plot of building
land there more than 800 yards long by
80 yards broad, surrounded by II board
ing two and ahalf yards high. AS about
400 boys were playing there recently
a passer by told them that the boarding
had been set aside for the poor, and any
one might take the timber away. In
spite of the threats of the Waterman in
charge the boys demolished the boarding
in half an hour and carried the planks
home. When the police appeared moth
ing was TO be seen except Il few poles.
The police ordered a survey of the ad-
joining houses, but very few planks were
found.-London Truth.

n stately grace the most agreeable .,.
semble in the world. Later / have sec,
very much of Englishmen. and nothins
can be more agreeable than the frani.
honest high bred courtesy of a true Ea.;
lsh gentleman, although he cam.
claim much of grace. ~vivacity or versa,
tility.
But today l give the palm to my uy-,,
countrymen, for they combine the spl.n
did strength and honor of the Engl.,i
man with the wit and worldly wisdom
of the Frenchman, and the Spaniurd's
appreciation of and graceful devotion 10
womeni in fact, as the people of these
United States are the union OF all the
races Of the earth. where but among
their men should we look for specimens
Of the best qualities of all mem? Perhaps
this estimate will not hold good in all
directions; perhaps not every American
combines the romance of the Spaniard
with the wit of the Frenchman, and the
nobleness of the Englishman or the Ger
man ancestor Of the Englishman, but
the combination is very possible, and in
greater or less degree | have seen it
among the agreeable Americans of my
acquaintance.

at once inquired:
Where most frequently North,
south, east or west?" and | replied after
due consideration:

north, south, east and west"
