During the Cold Spell of 81.

A crowd of officials sat around the

was rained down in Leslie Sunday last
and was seen by .. S. Lockett, Bailif
Parker listened for while and theE
said:
Gentlemen, that amt nothing. You
all know the cold spell during the win
ter of 81. 1t was the coolest winter
we ever had in these parts. New
Years day the wind blew blue streak.
The rain and sleet fell so fast that a
man couldn't see the team he was driv-
ing. We had twenty-one and a half
head of cattle froze to death.
well, bout that half will tell you.
We had only twenty-one head and we
hadn't time, after the cold set in, to
care for 'em. Just turned them in the
barn. All of them froze sitter than a
mackerel, except one that stood next
to the hay NOW and that was an old
COW that was froze solid on one side,
and t'other side was all right My wife
thought we had better kill her, but /
urged her not to do it. But that COW
never thawed out on that side all the
next summer. We could milk her on
one side and get good warm milk, and
milk her on the other and get ice
cream"

PHILOSOPHY OF CROSSED LEGS.
ucn Generally Sit Strai ght- Limbed wher
Their Minds Are at Work.

Men generally cross their legs when
there is least pressure on their minds.
You will not very often find man
actually engaged in business with his
'egs crossed. The limbs at those times
are straighter than at any other, be-
cause the mind and body work to-
gether. A man engaged in auditing
accounts will seldom cross his leos,
neither will a man who is writing an
article or who is employed in any man
ner where his brain is actively en-
gagged. When at work in a sitting
posture the limbs naturally extend to
the floor ina perfectly straight line A
man may cross his legs if he is sitting
in an office chair discussing some
proposition with another man, but. ac-
cOrding to the n. Y. Rcc0rder, the in
slant he becomes really in earnest and
perceives something to be gained his
limbs uncross, he bends forward to-
ward his neighbor and begins to use
his hands.
But these observations are made of
mankind in general. There are par
hcular cases that are otherwise There
are certain men of distinguished tai
ents who, when engaged in literary
work, twist their legs into intricate
coils. One of the most eminent dra-
matists in this country never abandons
himself to deep thought without con-
torting his limbs, which are long and
slender, into a kind of angular scroll
work under the table Another man.
whose poems appear most frequently in
the magazines, seems actually to wiring
his emotions out of his legs, as if they
were sponges sopped in the divine
atliatus.
However, these are exceptional cases
OF mannerisms by which particular
men of brains are insensibly affected.
Some men twist their boards when
they are IN deep thought, others scratch
their heads abstractedly, while others
again chew their finger nails. To this
absent minded genins belongs now and
then man who cannot ponder severe
~ without making his legs express all
the emotion of thought.

A Queer Pacific Coast Lake,

One of the natural curiosities in Xii
kitat county is Lone Lake. which lies
in a butte or mound in the Simcoe
foothills, six miles northwest of this
city. The butte looks as though the
top had caved in, as the trees are "
ing dead all over the bottom, and
years ago were growing where the
lake now lies. This lake cannot be
seen until one reaches the summit of
the butte, as it is circular in form and
surrounded by wall or bank of earth
which is covered with trees. The bank
itself is more than 100 feet high. The
early settlers tell of cutting hay on
the ground which this body of water
now covers a good many years ago.
There is no doubt the waters are
steadily rising, trees have been COW
cred. have fallen, and now lie slowly
decaying beneath the waters. 1t is
fairly possible that the lake will one
day fill the entire cavity in the butte
and overflow the banks. A few wears
ago the lake was stocked with carp,
and its waters are fairly alive with
them now. Last season a great many
catfish were put into the lake. They
will thrive there and soon eXterminate
the other fish. The lake affords excel
lent boating. and is becoming pleas
ure resort. GOL0entate Sentinel.

Odd Names in Virginia.

Senator Eppa Hunton's queer Chris
tian name is less queer than some of
the curious names to be heard and seen
in his native State. A colored man in
the Senator's immediate neighborhood
had two sons and a daughter, who were
named respectively: "IWill Arise and
Go to my Father" only Begotten
Son." and Amazing Grace" The elder
son, after the manner of the famous
Puritan Damned Barebones," was alb
breviated to "Iwilla" when addressed
in a hurry. In another part of Virginia
a worthy colored couple named their
two boys Orange and Lemon, and their
two girls Florida and Missouri. They
had heard of white people naming
their daughters Virginia and Georgia,
and a college professor of distin-
guished family, who bore the name of
Delaware, so the use of names of
Estates was natural enough; but why
the boys were named after fruits has
never been explained, unless it be that

"NCRFOLK HOWARDS."
Bedbugs Worse than Microbes in Spread
ing Tubercular Disease.

The recent publication of map of
New Haven, showing the number of
deaths from tuberculosis in the last
fourteen years to be about 5000, and
indicating that there are what may be
called tuberculosis districts in the city,
makes the general subject of tubercu-
losis and its propagation a matter of
personal interest, says the New Haven
Register. The theory of DR.. De Forest,
who prepared the map, is, we believe,
that there are certain houses in the
tenement house districts that are fav-
orable to the spread of this disease.
Deaths from it have occurred there,
and are likely to occur again. Infected
houses are means of spreading the
disease.
But has the doctor any knowledge as
to whether any of these houses which
he has marked with numerous pin
points as the homes of tuberculosis
are infected with bedbugs? The ques-
ton is not irrelevant as it may appear
The Medical Meas, in a recent mum Der,
copied from a German medical Jour-
nal the report of the case of bow IS
years old who had developed puimo-
with brother who had died of the
disease. The third brother, with whom
the second had slept, had likewise died
of tuberculosis. The patient presented
numerous bedbug bites, and it was
learned that the bed in which he had
slept contained a large number of the
parasites. Thirty of these were taken
and used in the incubation of three
guinea pigs, all of which died of tn ber-
culosis. Cultures Of tubercle bacilli
were also obtained from the diluted
and filtered pulps of these bugs. Gull
lures we're also obtained from bups
| taken from healthy surroundings and
brought into contact with tuberculous
sputum. The bugs became infected
directly from human beings, or indi-
| rectly through the medium of the ex-
pectoration, or by transmission from
one animal to another. The trans
| mission of tuberculosis from the bugs
to the human being remains an open
| question, but the probabilities point
very strongly toward the possibility of
] Infection in this matter.
This NAV be worth looking into. 1t
may be that it is less bedbugs that
| New Ravens tenement house district
| wants. not more ventilation or better
drainage. The bedbug is notorious for
the way he gets there, and he may be
| at the present time inoculating hun
dreds of New Haveners with the dead
/ ly disease. The bedbug must 90.

HOW MIKE MADE $50.
The Deal of Chicago Bunco Sharp In
the Days Before the Big Fire.

Before the fire of 1871 there lived in
Chicago a noted bunco sharp named
Mike O'Mara. He is now serving time
at Columbus, O., but in those days he
was known to the police as a shining
light of buncoism. One day in 80 he
went into the saloon of a west side
Irishman who prided himself on his
knowledge of money. Mike threw down
dirty-lOoking dollar and called for
rye. The barkeeper picked up the coin
and examined it closely.
"Srre, an its bad, Mike" said he.
"8etcher ten it amt" answered
Mike, quick as wink, pulling out a
bill and slapping it down on the count
er. After looking at Mixes bill mo-
ment the saloon man took SO note
from his drawer and laid it on the
other.
"Who'n decide?" he asked.
Cashier of the bank round in
Halsted street," answered Mike. The
two tens were handed to one of Mikes
friends, and the trio, followed by q
curious crowd, went over to the bank.
When they got there the saloon man
planked the dollar before the teller and
said
Don't you call that counterfeit"
NO." was answered after brief ex-
animation, at is perfectly good"
Il don't believe you" cried the
saloon man, angrily. "Tain't worth a
dime"
The teller flushed, and, silently turn
inc to a stack of coin raked off a dol
lar and handing in to the other. said;
rs that good?"
"Yes," was the answer.
"Then keep it, and l viii take this
other in its place" That, of course,
downed the saloon man, and Mike won,
As he was about to put the bills in his
pocket he stopped and began an eager
examination of one of them. 1t was, il
fact, the ten he had put up. Turning
to his opponent, he asked:
Did you look at the bill yor
staked?"
NO"
did you look at mine?"
Sure an YOU don't think I'd be
Mike, without seeing that your stuff
was good?"
"Was it good?"
"Of course"
WELL" said Mike, this bill is bad
and if you hadn't said what you did,
would have sworn that my ten was al
right anyway"
The saloon man did not believe Mix
and the bill was passed in for the tel
'er to decide. His answer was a re,

The saloon man fshed another tel
out of his trousers to replace it, blu

1T ISN'T CRAVlTATION.
That Force is Much Too Weak to Hold
the Worlds Together.

From common experience, saws
Electricity, we are apt TO hold exap-
gerated notions of the power of gravity.
Not until We compare it with other at
tractive forces, such as magnetism or
electricity, do we appreciate how tri-
vial it really is.
The fundamental experiments in
electricity and magnetism. known to
men for more than 2, 900 years, of lift
ing light bodies by rubbed amber and
iron filings by means of a loadstone,
demonstrate at once their incompar-
ably greater power.
If, for instance, the attracting BODY
had the moderate dimensions of a hand
specimen of amber or loadstone, we
should require it to be of so dense a
material as to weigh 1000. OOO, 900
pounds instead of few pounds, as
usual, in order that its gravitational
attraction should equal that of either
of the two forces mentioned. 1t is
obvious, therefore, tt At the imposing
nature of the force of gravity, as equal
lv compared with other attractive
forces, is due not to its superior quail
tative magnitude, but to the enormous
masses of the bodies which exercise it,
Thus, while it requires the use of
the most delicate torsion balance to
demonstrate even the mutual attrac-
ton between a small and large
sphere of lead, yet where enormous
masses, such as the earth. are con-
cerned the attraction exerted by one
hemisphere upon the other proba bly,
exceeds force of 500 pounds per
square inch over a surface whose
radius is 1000 miles.
