Lieutenant Finley Tells About Storms
and Air Currents.
Lieut.. Jno. p. Finley, who for three
years has been at the head of the
United States weather service of the
Pacific coast, lectured before the Young
Mems Christian association last even
ing, on General Atmospheric Distu. b.
ances.
The lecture was illustrated by stere-
opticon views end charts. The course
OF several noted storms of wide area
was shown, and the causes leading to
the peculiarities of Southern California
climate were told.
Interesting charts showing the cold
spell last year at Rivertide, the New
York blizzard of 1856 and the course OF
air currents at the time of the Johns
town flood were thrown on the screen.
Lieutenant Finley is a recognized au'
thority upon meteorology, and bis lee
ture was interesting and highly in
structive.
Saturday evening he will give a eec-
ond lecture of more popular nature,
concerning tornadoes, whirlwinds, hail
storms, etc.

She has been staying at the Salton sea

CATARRH.


Caiarrh is often regarded by the patient as a
cold in the head, aud he often expresses his
astonishmcnt at his rem ,rkebie tendency TO
contract q fresh cold. Indeed, he declares he
is scarcely free from one cold before he takes
another; and he is always exceedingly careful.
1t is also matter of surprise 10 him that the
cold always seems to settle in the head ard
throat.
At times manv Of the symptoms of catarrh
may seem to abate, and the patient is led to
hope that the di.ease is about to wear off;
but another cinss of symptoms soon appear,

What Shall We Make Our SUNDAYS?

What is to be the fate of our Sunday no
one can tell It's fate ought to be fair and
even noble when one thinks about the
growth of common sense. The idea of
day of rest for man and beast ought to ask
no aid from revelation, SO easily should it
repose upon the wants of our race. And if
to this conception of rest be added the idea
Of certain high and moral education, the
day should still find ample support in the
processes of reason. A majority of Ameri-
cans perhaps favor the day because of their
religious beliefs and feelings, but almost the
entire population ought to confess the value
of a season by any former period.
The multiplying millions, the awakened
intellects which can grow in vice as easily
as in virtue, the needless work and pain of
a people made half wild by liberty, the
value of all true education and study,
whether it comes from the arts or the
fields of the sanctuary, join in asking the
thinkers powerful in the church to dis
cover what kind Of Sunday will most truly
bless man, not only as a religious being,
but also as d being capable of greatness
and happiness upon earth.-ProfessorD David
Swing in Forum.

With all the dignity OF the duck fanny
this little party waddled down the beach.
They were in no haste, the day was be-
fore them, the sun was warm, they were
fed, and down they went in the most lels-
urely way. Just as they reached the wa
ter the gentle wave ran in, lifted the pretty
little yellow birdlings off their feet and
swept them all far up on the sand, then as
suddenly turned, left them there high and
dry and went out to sea again.
The ducklings, not at all disconnected by
this shabby joke of the wavelet, gathered
themselves together and started again
down the beach III good order as before.
Again the saucy wavelet came up to meet
them, and again they were carefully set
down far up on the shore.
Discouraged, you think, and walked off
in huff? By no meansl They wanted to
go into the water, and into the water they
would go. Again they started down the
bank, just as dignifed, just as composed,
Just as earnest about it as if they had
found no difficulties in the way. OF course
they met the same fate, but they did not
give it up.
Whether they ever really got into the
sea does not appear, but as long as the OBJ
server had the patience to wait, the same
game was in progressive little wave car
ried them all far up on the beach, and they
all waddled back again, with the sole and
single purpose of going to take swim

Bacteria in Milk.

The number of bacteria present in milk
depends chiefly upon the length of time
that the milk has been standing and upon
the temperature. Estimates made upon
milk under different conditions have shown
from 300, 0O0, 900 to GOO, 000, 900 to the quartz
The effect of temperature is shown by an
experiment: a specimen of milk which had
been standing four days in cold tempera-
ture was found to have about 100000
bacteria per quart, while that exposed TO
high temperature collected 100000, 600 of
these microscopic creatures in less than a
day and a half Between forty and fifty
species of bacteria have been found in nor
NAL milk and cream.
This large number is due to the fact that
milk is apt to collect almost any species of
bacteria that may be floating in the air.
The individuals of most ofthese species are
comparatively few in number and are of
little significance; q few species are almost
universal and extremely abundant. 1t is
these creatures which cause the milk to
sour. Some of them do this by the produc-
ton of an acid; others curdle the milk by
causing ferment like that in rennet. All
of them are more or less harulful-Cor

General Order No. l."

John F was a soldier He was a
member of the Tenth Maine regiment and
orderly sergeant of his company. He was
every inch soldier, brave and true, albeit
little prone to stick to the letter rather
than to the spirit of the law The articles
of war were his study In short, he was
excessively military military all through.
At the close of the late war John came
home and was shortly afterward installed
into the responsible position of sexton of
our church, and he Strengthened things out
wonderfully. On the very first Sabbath
after his taking charge we found posted
upon the wall Of the church vestibule an
imposing document headed, General Or
der No. l."
There had been trouble in certain quar-
tiers resulting from the difficulty which
ladies who came to church late found in
gaining their seats when gentlemen had
got in ahead of them. John determined to
remedy this SO he issued General Order
No. ," which read as follows:
Rules to be observed when a lady wishes to
enter pew in which gentlemen are already
seated: Let the lady advance one pace beyond
the pew-halt-about face-and salute. The
pew will be vacated by the gentlemen by a
flank movement. The squad should rise stimuli
taneously when the lady presents herself, and
face outward-then deploy into the aisle, the
head man facing the lady. the others passing
to his rear, when, if necessary, the line will be
perfected up and down the aisle by right or
left countermarch, as the case may require, the
right in front.
The lady, when the way is clear, win salute
again, and advance to her position in the pew,
after which the gentlemen will break from the
rear, obliQuely, and resume their places.
Parties performing this evolution have pos
session of the aisle until it is completed, and
none others will interfere.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTATIONS.

Every man knows better than he hopes
The great sin is made up of little follies,
There are few sins man commits that
he does not blame ON some one else.
Children would do as they are told a
great deal better if grown folks did as they
tell.
No children, in the eyes of their mother,
are ever old enough to take care of them

Many wise things that old men say are
never heard because of Interruptions from
young fools.
The Lord never made any woman so good
looking that other women could not see
where her looks might have been improved.

Euel in Smoke.

A great deal of value ''goes up in smoke, !"
but few people realize that smoke has any
value. Some Scotchmen, however, have
discovered that it is so valuable that they
pay several of the Scotch iron works reg
ular rental for the privilege of collecting
and carrying away the smoke and gases
from their blast furnaces. The smoke and
gases are passed through several miles of
wrought iron tubing, diminishing in size
from six feet down to eighteen inches, and,
as the gases cool, there is deposited con-
siderable yield of OIL.
At one of the smallest of these institu-
tions-a Glasgow plaht-there are pumped
and collected about GO, 900, 900 cubic feet of
furnace gas per day, and on an average
some $4,000 gallons of furnace oil are re-
covered weekly, using the residual gases,
consisting chiefly of carbonic monoxide, as
fuel for distilling and other purposes, while
a considerable yield of sulphate of am
monia is obtained.-Chicago Press.
