Ages he would have been burned rs a

meeting the Rev. lrl ana consider him
well, very nice, religious and res
pectabIe old gentleman, although ike
all men with hobby, something OF Il
crank. But, he is, in his chosen vo-
cation of weather prognosticator, a
prophet OF evil. He seems to take Il
delight in foretelling all sorts of dis
agreeable weather and, unfortunately,
his predictions almost always come To
pass. 1t is all right enough to say we
should be grateful to him for notify

THE ST. LOUIS MEDICAL SOCIETY.
after listening to a learned disserta-
ton on an analysis of st. Louis drink
ing water by several members of the
society, came to the conclusion that
the water is TO blame for the typhoid
fever epidemic. II the water is the
cause Of it, then the municipa. iu-
thOrities are responsible because to
them have been given the power and
the means to furnish the people of the
city with the purest and healthiest
water in the world. As said in my
last, the receiving, settling and storage
reservoirs are unclean and the foul
sediment and accumulation of filth in
them would contaminate water from
the Peirian Spring.
The municipal authorities, how
ever, are too much interested
in getting good and ready on for
the spring election to bother them
selves about water-your politician,
with an eye on a good thing, doesn't
think of water as beverage.

The Steering Committee.


NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The train
which arrived in jersey City this MORN
ing from Washington had on board
United States Senators German, Rrica
and Carlisle known to their party men
throughout the country as the ''Sena-
tOrial Steering Committee" In des-
patch from Washington it was stated
that they had determined to visit New
York to confer with Mr.. Cleveland in
reference to the senatorial situation in
Montana, Wyoming ard Kansas, the
policy of the democratic party in the
senate during the present session
and the ACCESSIBILITY of holding
an extra session. None of the
senators would say u word
as to the object Of their mission. They
were evidently ehagrined that their
coming had been so extensively an
nOunced and Senator Gormon waa
particularly displeased. ''Will you call
on Mr.. Cleveland before YOU leave the
city he was asked. "Well" he replied,
perhaps Iii have n chat with Mr..
Cleveland before | leave town" and
then he added that there was nothing
unusual about his visit or that of his
conferes. At 10 o'clock the gentle-
men were driven To ex-Secretary
Whitney's house on Fifth avenue. Mr..
Whitney when seen early in
the morning said l really
cannot tell if there is To he
a conference. All | do know is that
| received a letter from Senator Cor
man in which he sad he'd like to see
me to-day, but about what, ! don't
know" At one o'clock the senator's
were still in Mr.. Whitney's house.
Several persons who have business in
that neighborhood say that MIR. Cleve-
land entered the house just before
noon. 1t Is believed that some def
mite plan of the subjects above re-.
ferred to will be reached by evenings.

The smooth raised edge around the
face Of modern coins, and inclosing the
device as a frame incloses a picture, not
only adds a great deal to the beauty "
the piece, but serves a double utilitarian
purpose, first to protect the designs from
wear, and second 70 afford horizontal
surface so that the coins may be piled
up vertically one on top Of another
without danger Of topping over. As
soon as the raised edge is worn from a
coin it loses its clear beauty Of design
and fast degenerates into a mere char
acterless disk of metal.
Owing to the long rest which metallic
currency had in this country during tho
reign Of greenbacks and shinplasters
United States coins are remarkably
clear cut and well preserved. Even
coins minted before the war retain part
OF the milling. New York Sun.

We looked upon thy calm. sweet sleep
And said: All, wherefore should we weep
Why mourn because thy work is done,
Tho crown by thee SO early won?
Thy life was brave and true and fair;
Thou hadst not learned the word despair:
For thee was love in every breast:
Thy life, and cen thy death, was blest-

What harInonies thy coming greet;
For us the sound of sobs and tears.
For thee the songs and welcome cheers
But ye. within your home today.
Whence all that's bright was borne away
What can say to give relief.
Or help you in your bitter grielY
Your hearts wild anguish well know.
You reel beneath the heavy blow;
And words to help you all are vain.
They seem a mockery to your pain.
But, father. in your face, to-day.

A material which is being satisfac-
torily introduced for paving streets is
composed of granulated cork and btu
men pressed into blocks, and which are
laid like bricks or wood paving, the spe-
cial advantage secured being that Of
elasticity. In roadways it furnishes a
fine foothold for horses, and at the same
time does away to a great degree with
the noise which commonly accompanies
city traffic. In Australia this method
has been resorted to with excellent re-
