A Dust Storm in sim1a.

A curious phenomenon occurred in
Simla recently on two successive nights
This was nothing less than dust storm
in the midst of a downpour of rain, or
rather, to speak more correctly, a shower
of mud. A column of dust seems to
have been carried up into the higher at
mosphere from the plains and to have
been caught and forced down by the
heavy rain. In the morning, as result,
all the plants and flowers in Simla were
found to have received a thick coating
of mud. There could be no doubt that
the mud had been rained down, for it
was freely sprin]xled on plants away
from the hillside and at great height
from the ground. Moreover deposit
of mud was found in the rain gauges in
various parts Of the station. It is a
common thing to see the atmosphere in
the hills during the hot season thick with
dust from the plains, carried aloft by a
strong wind. But the conjunction of
rain and dust is an accident of which,
it is stated, there is no previous record.

Very Silly.

A lady who, since the memory of the
present generation, has been earning her
living by writing newspaper and maya
zine articles and in various other ways,
and is therefore quite as much of a work
ing woman as if she scrubbed floors for a
maintenance, writes a paper lamenting
the degeneracy Of domestic help in the
United States, and remarks:
We can never have the perfect seryice'' in
republic.
Dear! dear! by all means this lady
should migrate, bandbox and bundle, to
Europe and live there, where from the
superior heights of writing at cent a
word, more or less, she can look down
upon the woman who sweeps up her lit
erary litter and enjoy the perfect sery-
ice" which only a monarchy or an en-
pire can yield. Her aristocratic sensi-
tlvltles are quite too acute for her to
tarry longer in her own country, where,
as the old man said when speaking to
the Sunday school class, "Maybe all
these little boys and girls will some day
be presidents"
The ''perfect service" in the domestic
line in America went when women who
wanted to introduce foreign ways
brought into their kitchen the cap and
back door business, and set themselves
up as persons of another race than the
people who for wages performed their
work. Then every self respecting Amer
lean girl fled the kitchen. Joan Of Arc
was hostler. What q horrid creature
she would have been to this blue blooded
magazine hack!

The Smallest Snake.

j. G. Couch, who lives mile south of
Fox Postoffce, has brought us what is
probably the smallest snake ever cap
tured in Ray county. It was caught
about two weeks ago by his stepson
Theodore jackson, and is of the black
snake species. 1t is only three inches in
length, and at the thicl1est part of it's
body is only three-sixteenths Of an inch
in circumference. 1t is a perfectly form
ed reptile, but with an extra large head.
Mr.. jackson accidentally killed it by
spilling few drops of petroleum on it.
This snake could not teach school or
plow corn like some Of his kinsmen
found in Colonel Jim Denton's neighbcr-
hood, but Mr.. Jackson is just as proud
OF his find as the colonel ever was over
any of his discoveries. Richmond ono. J

Ind ustrial Prospects,

Charles Stewart Smith, in The North
American Review, scans from his point
Of outlook as president Of the New York
chamber of commerce the Industrial and
financial situation of his country. He
calls our attention to the fact that the
commercial panic that was predicted
some months ago did not arrive. 1t re-
manned away because the business world
expected it and got out of debt as rapidly
as possible, and, second, because of the
enormous crops Of all kinds that found
ready sale in Europe and brought back
commercial confidence. Mr.. Smith
quotes incidentally from letter written
by citizen of Kansas, in which the
statement is made that years ago
thousands of farms in that state could
have been bought outright for smaller
sum than the crops alone raised on them
realize this year. But the trouble is that
mankind does not seem to learn from
experience. Farmers and others ought
this year if possible to lay aside small
sum for tho hard times and scant crops
that may come again next year or any
year.
: The industries that Mr.. Smith men
lions in his paper amount to something
enormous. Our textile fabric interests
are worth not less than 5000, 900, the
larger part occupied with cotton manu-
facture. The cotton corporations, not
withstanding trusted clerks and officers,
have had average success, and come up
with their usual half yearly dividends.
We also draw encouragement from the
fact that American sheetings and drills
are preferred in the Chinese market to
any manufactured in Europe. Mr..
Smith says that although labor in this
country is 20 per cent. higher than in
England, we are still able to put upon
the market the low and medium grade
cotton goods as cheaply as the British
mills can. This is owing to American
inventive genius in the field of labor
saving machinery. We are, moreover,
the largest producers Of carpets in the
world, and our goods, as before, in the
low and medium priced grades, equal
anything made in Europe. In the mat
ter of clothing, a suit of common Amer
lean cashmere will not cost in New
York more than Is per cent. above what
the same kind of suit would cost in
London.
The wooden industry is depressed,
while the iron manufacturers have done
well. In iron industries of various kinds
there are invested in this country now
$3.50, 100000. Iron manufacturing has
increased two and half times in the
last decade and coal mining has in
creased in proportion.
The only cloud Mr.. Smith sees in the
financial sky and the only thing that
will prevent the reign of splendid com
mercial prosperity is the question of
silver coinage.

Two ocean steamers have been COM
menced by the Cunard line that may
eclipse in speed any of the Atlantic racers
already on the sea. The immense new
Cunarders will carry 1000 tons of freight
and 700 cabin passengers. The vessels
will be guaranteed to make twenty-one
miles an hour in the open sea. That
speed would be 504 miles in a day. At
500 miles day the Cunarder would cross
the ocean in about five days and fifteen
hours. Meantime that lively Scotch
American, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, pre-
diets that before the Cunarders get their
racers afoat the Inman line will have
built in the United States, on the Della
ware, two Atlantic steamers that will
outrun anything that ever crossed the
sea, except a cable message, and make
the Cunarders turn green with envy.

Real Miracles

Modern mechanical science can work
miracles that do not need any bamboozle
of "occultism'' to supply background.
They are such miracles as would have
caused those who work them to be burned
for witches a couple of centuries ago.
Even now in some parts of the world
China, for instance-the magicians
would be driven out of the country and
perhaps lose their lives. "a
A railway train on the road between
New York and Buffalo recently accom-
pllshed one of these modern marvels.
1t Travelled at the rate of an average of
% 1-3 miles an hour. At it's best speed
this flying train made seventy miles an
hour, thus equaling the best time made
on the best railways in Europe, those of
Great Britain. One famous train in
England goes from London to Edin-
burgh, a distance of 400 miles, at an
average speed of not quite fifty-two
miles an hour, year in and year out.
This is one of the best long runs in Eu-
rope. 1t is matter of perfect roadbed.
good car and engine construction and
lavish coal consumption. But it is graft
flying to know that we are, making such
progress in railway speeding in the
United States, and we may confidently
look forward to the time when all the
leading railways Of the country will DO
as well as this.
The other real miracle to which mod
ern mechanical science may point is the
TACT that the ocean steamer Teutonic has
crossed the Atlantic eastward in s days,
% hours and minutes, thus surprising
her own best record by 10 minutes.
Really the four day ship does not seem

The CHILEAN Affair.

tackled by a CHILEAN mob in the streets
OF Valparaiso. One American, the Bal
tlmore's boatswain, was killed, another
died of his wounds and five altogether
were injured. Bayonet wounds on the
soldiers bodies showed that the Valpa-
raise police had helped the mob rather
than those attacked. Oct. 90, one week
later, President Harrison sent dispatch
to Minister Egan in Chill, bidding him

An Important Omission.

She was talking about her different
gowns-her calling gown, driving gown,
dinner gown and so on-when her husband
looked up from the paper he was reading
and remarked:
"There is another gown which you should
have in your wardrobe, and 1 will cheer
fully furnish the money to purchase it,"
What is t?" she asked with some spirit.
"a stay at home gown" he answered
quickly as he ducked his head.
OF course she said he was a horrid thing,
and that all her gowns were stay at
homes, but there was food for thought
deep, earnest, reflective thought-in the
observation, satirical as it sounded to his
wife's ears.
There is monument raised to the wom-
an who never wore silk dress in her life,
whose only outward adornment was a
clumsily made gray gown, with 'never a
frill or ruffie." She was that New Or
leans Margaret known as the "children's
friend" and her going out and coming in
gowns were all of the same piece as her

of herself.

servator of all the virtues.-Detroit Free

MY SAINT.

Ny saint is q saint that few may know
In all that she does for sinners below;
She Is fair as faithful and faithful as fair.
With halo encircling her beautiful hair.
She is full of wiles and moods as an elf,
And yet is the spirit of truth itself,
And well for him who his burden can bear
In the light of the halo about her hair.
Her face is a mirror where men may read
The truth that inspires her, thought and
deed;
Her life is life of devotion and care,
And she has halo about her hair.
Her care is for others and not for herself,
And naught she recks of profit or pelf,
Enough for her that her goal is won,
And she knows not her halo is bright as
sun.
All things she does from the splendid love
That comes to her here from a power above,
And who adore her can hardly dare
To look at the halo about her hair.
