African Sandstorms.

The sandstorms of African desert:
r caused by the great power of the
suns rays, the extreme dryness OF
the air and the small conducting
power of the sand. The superficial
layers of sand in the deserts of Afri
ca and Arabia often become heated
to 200 dogs. Fahrenheit to a depth OF
several inches. The air resting on
this hot sand becomes also greatly
heated, thus causing ascending cur
rents. AS a result Of these air flows
in from all sides, and different cur
rents meeting cyclones are formed,
which + swept onward by the
wind prevailing at the time. Since
the temperature of the air, originally
high, is still further raised by the
heated grains Of sand with which it
is loaded it rapidly increases to a
most intolerable degree. In the
shade it has been known to reach
1876 dogs. 1t is to the parching dry
ness of this wind, it's glowing heat
and its choking dust, and not as is
sometimes supposed, to any poison
Il qualities it possesses that it's de
structive effects on animal life are to
be ascribed. The effects of sand
storms are most terrible, large cara
vans being frequently overwhelmed
and destroyed by them. It was by
their agency that the armies of Cam
byses and Sennacherib were annihi-
lated.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Confusion of Dates,

A correspondent says that he knew
schOolboys-in Boston schools, too
who seemed bound to grow up with
the impression that General Warren
stopped all proceedings just before
the battle of Bunker Hill to stir up
the patriotic ardor of the soldiers by
declaiming to them three stanzas of
grandiloquent poetry.
All this, the correspondent says,
was chargeable to the fact that the
teacher was too Indifferent OF too
thoughtless to tell his pupils that the
stanzas in question, in Pierpont's
National Reader" were written for
General Warren fifty years after he
was killed and by John Pierpont
himself.
The correspondent is moved to
this Renaissance by something seen
lately in an ambitious periodical
gotten up by the students of a high
school not 100 miles away from Bos-
ton, and in fact not much nearer
than that"
In that periodical the familiar quo
tation about a government of the
people, by the people, for the peo-
pie" is said to have been uttered
by President Lincoln in his exhorta
ton to the Union army as it was
about to enter upon the battle of

Middlefork, instead of a dreary land

a sight most beautiful to behold. 1t re-
minded me of the stampede to the Black

brilliant fire of logs passed the evenings

of nature for company.

A COntradictiOn of Terms.

Young John Green was a very lit
eral, matter of fact fellow, who
after he had graduated at the high
school and taken a years course il
shorthand, obtained a situation as {
secretary in a large mercantile es
Enlistment. One day his employer
who had a good opinion of Johns lit
erary abilities, called him and said:
Green, | want you to write a cir
cular letter to Jul customers telling
them squarely what we are going tt
do for them in the matter of that big
consignment of percales."
John went away to write the let
ter; but the task troubled him. By
and by he came back.
Didn't you tell me, sir, to write &
good square letter to the customers?'

"And didn't you also tell me that
it was to be a circular letter.
"Why, yes"
"Well, sir, how car it be square
and circular at the same time? That
isn't good geometry, is it, sir?"
"Oh," said the merchant, looking
steadily at John, Il forgot the geom
etry. Perhaps you had better tel
them roundly what we are going tc
do-not squarely! Can you do that?'
ooh, yes" said John. This time
he performed his task without any

Different Kinds of Dust.

Some curious facts are elected by
experiments on different kinds of
dust. Remember that-cateris pari-
bus-the greater the humidity of the
atmosphere the greater the haze or
thickness of the air; that is why on
a damp day the smoke from gun
powder or a railway train is far
more dense than it is on a dry, sunny
day. If gunpowder be burned in an
inclosed space, into which the best
mirror has been placed for the depo-
sition of the dust, and this plate be
examined as before, it will be found
that the g%unpowder dust shows signs
of condensing at a temperature of 9
dogs. Fahrenheit above the dew
point. If sodium-which has a great
affinity for water-be experimental
upon in the same way, it will be
found hat what we call the haze
point Tor the point of condensation
on the dust is no less than 30 dogs.

William Tierney.

Amongst many other things which 60
to show that William Tierney is not the
proper man for county commissioner
we will mention one which is his refusal
to pay any real estate or livery license
into the city treasury.
His defense for not paying a real
estate license is that he is handling his
W property. Too thin an excuse, Mr..
Tierney--thc advertisement in both
papers read Neihart Realty Co., VIM.
Tierney, manager, which means that he
gets a commission for all sales. A man
who refuses to pay a license for the sup
port of the town of Neihart on such
grounds ought not to get a chance to
work for the good of the county.

Democratic Rally

On Monday night the citizens of
Neihart were entertained by democratic
brethren, who discOursed the issues of
the campaign in a spirited manner.
There were present the Hon. W. W.
Dixon of. Butte, Mr.. J. c. Mahony of
Madison county, and Hon. VIM. H.
Sutherlin of White Sulphur Springs.
These with local representative demo-
Gratis, Messrs. j. NJ. Gray, Esq, E. L.
Murphy, G.. T. Curtis, VIM, Tierney,
and Jas. OMAR took the platform at
Crawford's hall in the presence Of Il
large audience.
Judge Gray acted as chairman. He
introduced congressman Dixon, who
spoke for one hour on prominent issues
of the campaign, emitting the tariff, and
though not the brilliant orator repres-
ented on the hand bills, he held an un-
divided attention throughout. Mr..
Dixon has all the sympathy in the world
for a republican who deserts his party to
join the populist side, but rebukes all
democrats who are so misguided. He
says when the democratic party gains
complete control of the government
they will do some legislation in the in
terests of the people. That their failure
to act heretofore is due to the check
they receive from certain departments
with republican majorities. Mr.. Dixon
only talks right on, without eloquent
outbursts but is good at argument.
Mr.. Mahony next addressed the audi
ence very pleasantly, though he did not
enter into a discussion. He was follow
ed by w. H. Sutherlin, who gave various
reasons why he should be elected to the
office of representative. His speech was
listened to with interest.
The audience distinguished itself by
the order preserved and the willingness
to hear, though it was evident that re-
publicans and populists composed a
large part of the hearers.

Know Their Own Business Even Where
Their Only Son Is Concerned.
A New York man, distinguished
for his cool head and quick .judg.
ment, has had in the days of his
middle age a long wished for son
born to him. The child is heir to a
great deal besides the adoring love
of his parents, and for the first few,
years he grew superbly, developing
extraordinary beauty and intelli-
gence. Suddenly there appeared
signs of some terrible nervous dis
ease.
Father and mother were almost
crushed at the discovery.
But what did they do2
Hope their trouble would not prove
to be so bad as it threatened, and let
the matter go on for a time2
No, indeed!
Give the baby over to the family
doctor or to the first specialist recon
mended to them?
NOl tIldC clUllcI.
They Immediately made a thor
ough and careful inquiry on the sub
ject of such diseases, and those who
have had success in treating them.
Then they had a long talk together,
and decided to ask certain physicians
to consult over the case.
The consultation was held.
The parents talked the report over
between themselves, selected one
doctor in whose hands they would
place their boy, and decided to let
him engage what other scientific ad
vice he saw fit. For the rest the
mother then devoted herself to obey
ing these physicians orders and the
father to paying their bills.
When friends ask if this remedy
or that method of the doctors is
quite satisfactory and suggest some
other treatment or some other
doctor, the wise mother has had al
ways one reply. I'VE selected the
doctor with our best judgment. We
believe he knows more about these
things than we do or than we could
learn if we gave our whole time to
them. So we do not interfere with
his treatment, but l carry it out, and
my husband gives the stricter at
tention to his w business, that
there may be no lack of the money
necessary. We follow the doctors
directions and await the result of his
work"
This seems very plain common
sense, but how many people a you

wich and BONN islands. On the
homeward voyage they surveyed a
second route from the east coast of
Japan to the entrance of Puget
sound. On June II, 1890, on the sec
ond day out from the Japanese main
land, a 3,427 fathom sounding was
made, only forty-eight fathoms short
of the deepest sounding made off the
Ladrones-this, too, at a distance of
only 100 miles from the coast of
Japan. In making the next cast in
the same vicinity the Tuscarora's
men ran out 4 ,643 fathoms of wire,
and then the line broke before bot
tom had been reached. A Lucas
sounding machine, with 1000 faith
oms Of wire, was next brought on the
scene, and exactly 1855 fathoms of
the slender metallic strand were ''paid
out" before the nose" of the ma
chine grounded. Several casts of the
apparatus were made in this imme-
date neighborhood and the depths
found to range from 1856 up to the
maximum of 4, 655 fathoms. This Sc

ARTIFICIAL,

The Original Portion of Him, However,
Preserves Its Cheerfulness.
The clerks of the Grand say that
the most cheerful man that ever
staid there was NJ. Bowling. of Min
neapolis, and he had 5000 worth of
wooden legs and wooden arms. He
wore them all himself. Without
them he would not, to all appear
ances, have made much of a showing.
Set up on his high cork legs, how
ever, and with his arms pieced out
with the same material, he would
burst into the hotel like a ray of
light on a dark, cloudy day. He
was the victim of one of the playful
billiards. of Minnesota. When it
was over and he was gathered up
from the snow it was difficult to tell
what pieces would withstand the al
lurements of the gravedigger.
Some of him survived, however,
and then he set about to see what he
could do. Both legs were off close to
the body. His left forearm was gone,
and all he had remaining was the
smallest stump of the thumb on the
right hand. He practiced for awhile
walking with the heavy leathern
boots which everybody has seen leg
less men wear. Finally he raised
enough money to buy cork extrem-
tiles.
Mr.. Downing likes a joke, and
when stopped on the street here and
%importuned for aims by men with
one leg or arm, or both legs or arms
gone, would Immediately take them
to restaurants and load them up with
a big dinner, all the time listening to
their tale of misfortune with the
greatest interest.
When it was all over his face
would tighten, and much to their as
constituent he would begin shocking
his legs and arms, exposing the hypo-
critical material Of which they were
made. At the same time he would
tell how glad he would be if he was
only as well supplied with legs and
arms as they were. He would next
tell them to brace up, take heart and
begin to learn something useful to
support themselves.
Mr.. Bowling cannot use a cane be-
cause he cannot hold one. Therefore
without aid he is forced to make his
way. He has learned to do it so
well that he can outrun any able
bodied man, however skillful he may
be, who will hop while he runs. He
has learned to grasp a pen or pencil
with the small stump of q thumb,
and he writes a beautiful hand very
rapidly. San Francisco Examiner.

What Free Trade Would Do.

Free trade would encourage the for

shop; it would increase the demand for
workingmen abroad and diminish the
demand for w%orkingmen at home; it
would give employment to those on the
other side of the Atlantic and take en-
ployment away from those on this side;
it would increase the spindles in foreign
factories and diminish them in our own;
it. would build fires in their furnaces and
extinguish them in ours.-Governor Nc

PEOPLES PARTY REJOICE.
An Expose of their Vital Principles by
the Gifted Orator, Miss
Ella Knowles.

Crawford's hall was packed to full
ness on Friday night as the hour arrived
for the speeches to begin. 1t was a gala
night for the peoples party who were to
hear an exposition of their principles by
probably as any one in the west, and al
so for ladies who were to hear the words
of one of their sex as she ventures an
appeal to the intelligence of voting men.
Miss Knowles was accompanied to the
stage by Mrs. J. E. Sprague and Mrs.
Josephine Van Blarcum, Messrs. J. E.
Williams, Glen Owen, Geo. Gum and
other members of the peoples party.
Glen Owen introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Williams and also Mr.. Gum gave
brief talks, but it was left for Miss Ella
knowles to make the speech of the even
ing.
She discussed the silver question at
length, producing facts and figures to
show that the government could well
afford to coin the silver of the country
and not suffer the bad effects of inf1a-
ton. She favored the protective idea
by allowing to exclude the bulk of for
eign silver which may come upon the
market. And when her eloquence bore
upon the probable strength and results
of the peoples party in the coming
election, her speech received prolonged
cheers. All through its course ovation
after ovation was given to the lady
orator Of Montana, and it is sure that
her speech went farther toward strength
ening the peoples party cause here than
all that has preceded it.
