4 Terrific HailstOrm.

One of the most destructive hail
storms that ever visited this section oc-
Cured on Wednesday afternoon of last
week. While we 1T Paw Paw escaped
its fury, our neighbofs were not SO for
tunate In the southern parts of Deca-
tur and Porter townships considerable
damage was done to orchards and stand
ing crops. Oshtemo township shows
heavy damage to property and crops,
especially oats. which were laid fiat and
badly pounded. Kalamazoo suffered
fearfully. Nearly every skylight in the
city was ruined by the hail and the in
terror of many blocks was damaged by
the water which beat through the
broken skylights. Windows in private
dwellings were broken in all parts of
the city and in some residences the loss
is heavy. 1t is estimated that $4,000
worth of window glass was broken in
private residences. At st. Augustine's
church over $500 worth of stained glass
was broken. The other churches also
suffered heavily. AT the asylum 1000
panes of glass were broken out of the
greenhouse, and more than 100 panes
of stained glass were destroyed in the
chapel The several greenhouses in the
city were more or less wrecked and the
proprietors heavy losers. Electric light
globes in all parts of the city were
smashed and the wires cut in two and
badly mixed. A horse belonging to
Silas Maynard, poor laboring man,
was killed by being struck by hail
stone. Poultry was slaughtered wher-
ever exposed, and the total damage ag-
gregated many thousand dollars.
Wayne and Volinia townships, Cass
county, had touch of the same storm,
but, though hailstones of heroic size fell,
the damage was b'ifling. Mrs. f. IL.
Pearse of Wayne picked up three of
the stones which fell in her yard and
found them To measure respectively z,
s, and 9 inches in circumference.

Two EDitauhs.

Remarkable are two epitaphs, the first
of which is said to be upon tombstone
III the city of Sacramento: "Here is laid
Daniel Borrow, who was born in Sorrow,
and Borrowed little from Nature except
his name and his love to mankind and
hatred to redskins; who was neverthe-
less a gentleman and dead shot; who,
through long life, never killed his
man except in self defense or by acct
dent, and who, when he at last went
under, beneath the bullets of his cow
ardly enemies in the saloon of Jeff Nor
ris, did so in the sure and certain hope
of glorious and everlasting Morrow"

The Blood Circulates Rapidly.

Medical workers have made many GU
rious experiments, but none more Won
derful than that by which they ascer-
tanned the exact time required for the
blood to make one entire trip through
the system, which all students of physi-
ology know means a complete circula-
ton through the lungs, veins, arteries
and general capillary arrangements.
Professors Dalton, Herring, Poissenille,
Matteucci and Blake have been the chief
Investigators in this line, the first named
having become more eminent in this
particular branch of research from
having the experience of the others to
fortify himself with. All the old school
anatomists believed that considerable
time elapsed, say from three to nine
minutes, from the time when the blood
left the right side of the heart, traversed
the whole system and then again re-
turned to the starting point; Dalton has
shown that the time is much shorter
than was formerly generally supposed.
He says: dozens of carefully tabu-
lated tests Of this somewhat extraordi-
nary subject shows that the blood of
man makes complete circulation once
every fifteen to twenty-five seconds, ac-
cording to the physical conditions of the
subject experimental upon."-St. Louis

PHILADELPHIA Pretzels.

Philadelphia pretzels are a thing by
themselves; that is, the genuine Phila-
delphia pretzel is, but INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers have been making imi-
tations with machinery which have
served to lessen the high standard raised
by the reputation of the homemade
pretzel. The pretzel came over with
the Dutch, and it is still found in its
original purity in Lancaster and Berks
counties, the inhabitants of which have
been so many generations in this coun-
try that they are unable to speak their
mother tongue. They have not been
here long enough to learn English, so
they make their pretzels as they were
taught, and talk the language which
they have manufactured.-New York

We are informed by gentlemen con
versant with political affairs in Cass
county that the candidacy of Hon. j.
j. Woodman for congress Is becoming
more and more popular as the time for
holding the convention draws nigh.
Cheering news also comes from Barry
and St. Joseph counties, and the pres
ent outlook is that Mr.. Woodman will
receive 40 votes and the nomination ON
the second ballot We deem it entirely
unnecessary to add another word To
what has already been said regarding
Mr.. WIS eminent fitness for the place
and the added strength his name would
give to both state an national tickets.
That he will represent this district in
the Fifty-third congress there can be
little if any doubt
If Margaret Norris tells the truth in
her bill of complaint against her hus-
band, James Norris, she will have no
difficulty i'm obtaining a decree of di-
vorce. The parties were married in
May last, and early in July James, ac-
cOrding to her sworn statement, began
a series of abuses which have rendered
her living with him intOlerable and I'M
bearable He frequently came home
(her home) drunk, and on such Occa-
sions would use vile, profane and in
sulting language toward Margaret,
threatening to kill her, striking and
beating her in brutal manner and
striking, beating, and threatening to
kill her little daughter by previous
marriage. In addition to her bill of
complaint, she enjoined James from
selling or disposing of her personal
property, which she claimed he was en-
deavoring to do and was doing. We
learn incidentally that these parties
came very near settling their Difficult
ties on money basis-he offering to
quit for 81 900 and she offering him
$40 per month for the two months of
his engagement as husband. 1t has
been minated that Jim would be will
ling to split the difference.

, In Germany the law of compulsory
insurance against old age and iniirmity,
passed in June, 1889, completes the pro-
gramme of legislation for improving the
condition of the working classes which
was set forth in the imperial rescript Of
1881. 1t affects more than $4,000, 900
people, giving them an inalienable legal
claim to support in cases Of infir1nity
and in old age.
The insurance is compulsory in all in
dustrial occupations upon persons over
sixteen years of age of both sexes.
Clerks and tradesmen's apprentices who
do not earn more than $500 year also
participate, but assistants and appren-
tees in druggists shops are excluded.
Exemption from compulsory insurance
is granted to persons who work for
food, clothes and lodging only, and who
receive no pay, or who are only in tenn
porary employment
The pension for old age varies from
about twenty-five dollars to fifty dollars
year, and is granted to every insured
person who has completed his SEVENTEEN
year, irrespective of his ability to earn a
livelihood, provided he does not already
draw pension for infirmity The in
trinity pension varies from about twen-
ty-seven dollars to over hundred dol
lars, and is given, irrespective of age, to
persons who are permanently incapaci-
tated from earning living.
In order to establish claim TO pen
sion under the German law, contribu-
tons, regulated by the amount of earn
ings, must be paid for prescribed
period. The means of paying pensions
are obtained by fixed contributions from
the imperial treasury, added to regular
payments on the part of the employers
and employed.-Youth's Companion.

Soapsuds Are Valuable.

Few persons know how very useful
soapsuds prove when employed as ma
nure. Applied to the roots of vines,
fruit trees, roses, ETC., they impart a
vigor and rapidity of growth which is
perfectly surprising. No one who is so
lucky as to have a garden should waste
this valuable form of manure. 1t is an
excellent plan to have large tub, and
put the soapsuds and dirty water into it
till required upon the garden.-Phils-
delphia Ledger.

VAGARIES OF JUSTICE.

Justice, like Almighty God, moves in
a mysterious way, her wonders to per-
form. The ancients built wiser than
they knew when they pictured her with
bandage over her eyes. Even in Los
Angeles she is the blind goddess. Two
very peculiar cases occurred in Judge
Austin's court day before yesterday.
One was that of two Cinnamon, who
had been subpnnaed in the case of All
Dow, who was accused OF stealing $55
from another Chinese laundryman. The
case was set for O'Clock Thursday
afternoon. At that hour neither All
Dow nor All Yung the prosecuting wit
ness, had put in an appearance. Nei-
ther had the two other witnesses shown
up. These last were hunted up and
produced in court, when they stated
that they had been informed by the
prosecuting witness, All Yung, that the
case had been settled and that they
need not appear. The Judge, however,
was equal to the occasion. He fined
each OF the Mongolians $40, and ordered
them to produce the money by 4 O'Clock
or 60 to Jail. They had just thirty sec-
onds in which to pungle, but fortunately
one of them happened to have double
eagle about him and he paid
for both. Meanwhile All Dow and
All Yung 60 unwhipt of justice,
while the poor devils that did nothing
are made to pay the piper, OF course
no we'll constituted Caucasian has any
sympathy for a Chinaman, but these
little idiosyncracies are interesting from
psychological point of view. The
other case was that of the woman Bar
rows, who was accused OF forgery. After
on Thursday, on Friday morning Judge
Austin, Assistant District Attorney
Phibbs, the counsel for the defendant,
the stenographer and Mrs. Barrows
went down to the Soldiers home to take
the testimony of Barrows, who is lying
sick at that institution. The fact of the
marriage having been established, the
case stopped right there, as the husband
could not testify against his wife. Mrs.
Barrows was OF course discharged. 1t is
to be hoped that the party enjoyed the
lovely scenery on the way down. One
decided advantage will result from the
trip. All the excursionists, from Judge
Austin down to the lovely defendant,
will be able to give an authoritative
opinion as to the crop outlook in that
direction.

THE Express Joins the HERALD in its
demand for penitentiary in Southern
California. In its issue of yesterday it
says:
With state prison in Southern Cali
fornia convict labor might be advan-
tageously employed in the construction
of reservoirs and other works designed
for irrigation and power purposes. The
great dam across the American river at
Folsom was built by the prisoners of the
penitentiary at Folsom. The state
gained the use of valuable water
power in exchange for their services,
and great enterprise was accom- plished
which in the absence OF such labor
would still be in abeyance. There are
opportunities for the employment of
prison labor in such beneficial works
here, and this Is one of the reasons why
Southern California should have a peni-
tentiary.
There is no doubt the convicts could
be made useful here, and the saving
involved in carrying them up to Folsom
and San Quentin would be good thing
for the southern counties, to say moth
ing of the great desirability of having
some of the enormous surplus of taxa
ton which we contribute to the state
treasury expended here. If the press
of this section does its duty and de-
mands the penitentiary there will be no
difficulty in having an appropriation
passed at the next session of the legis-
lature tor that object. A half million
dollars or more should be employed in
filling this long felt want. Pennsylva-
MIA, which is only little over half the
length of California, has eastern and
western penitentiaries, and the Golden
state ought to have southern as we'll as
northern prisons.

WARNER MILLER TO SPEAK IN LOS
ANGELES.

The Hon. Warner Miller, the president
of the Nicaragua Canal company, 80
Captain Merry assures the chamber OF
commerce, will be in Los Angeles during
the early part of this month, and will
address the chamber of commerce upon
that great enterprise. The HERALD has
always been unreserved in it's endorse
ment of this project. 1t is fraught with
the welfare of the Pacific coast in an en-
inent degree. Ten years after its COM
pletion there would be four millions OF
people in California. The New York
and New England farmer desiring to
build himself up home here could
reach Southern California, via the Mic
aragua canal, as easily and cheaply as he
could reach Kansas or Iowa. A short
time ago an elaborate editorial appeared
in the HERALD giving in detail the dis
tance saved as compared with the route
around the horn to our wheat shippers,
and as compared to the Isthmus of Suez
route from Hong Kong and other Asiatic
ports to New York and Liverpool. We
shall, therefore, not touch upon those
points now. There seems to be de-
cided interest awakening in the canal.
A great meeting was held in San Fran
cisco the other day, and the sentiment
favoring the enterprise seems to be
universal on this coast. 1t is
to be hoped that the govern
ment of the United States will take
hold OF the project and secure its com.
pletion. This it could do without the
expenditure of dollar. The endorse
ment of the payment of the interest of
the bonds by the United States would
make them instantly negotiable. OF
course, proper precaution should be
taken to protect the government. An
adequate sinking fund should be in
sisted upon to assure reimbursement to
the treasury OF the United States in the
event that there should be any default
in the interest of the bonds in the first
years of the enterprise. 1t would also
be only right that certain privileges
should be secured to the government,
such as the free transit of vessels OF war
flying the American flag. 1t might be
we'll, perhaps, even to exact pledge OF
majority of the stock, so that it could
not be gobbled up by another govern
ment. But, granted the rightful pre-
caution, the United States should push
the building OF this great enterprise to
speedy consummation. Its opening to
commerce would breathe new life into
the Pacific coast.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-02

THE several transportation companies
doing business at San Pedro and Re-
dondo have entered into an agreement
pooling their earnings at those ports.
We have not learned the exact terms Of
the agreement, but the parties to it are
the Pacific Coast Steamship company,
the Wilmington Transportation COM
pany and the Southern Pacific, Southern
California and Terminal railways. By
this plan both ports are to receive a
pro rata of the ocean traffic. The pres
ent is undoubtedly the age of combina-
tions, and this may be called an infant
trust. The idea of competition as to
these ports would appear to have got
lost somew here. and it will probably be
some time before it turns up again.
However, our people can console them
selves with the reflection that the new
and greatly reduced rates Of the Santa
Fe company from Chicago and from the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers will go
into effect on the 23d of June.

superable difficulties. The only prac-
ticable way at present existing for ex-
ploring this tremendous gorge in Its
entirety is by starting from Green River
in boats and floating down. The catar.
acts are innumerable, it is necessary 10
make frequent portages. and the hazard
GUS experiments have been invariably
attended with loss OF life. The grand
gorge OF the Arkansas, which contains
much OF the sensational scenery OF the
famed Denver and Rio Grande railway,
is tame compared to the majestic grand
eur of the Grand cafion of the Colorado.
Travelled people pronounce it incompar.

be able to take in its beauties from the

CALIFORNIA to a limited extent has
shared in the cold spell that has spread
over the whole country. But there is a
distinction with a difference between
the Significance of the word as under
stood here and that which it bears on
the thither side of the Rocky mountains.
There the telegraph advises us that the
peach crop of Delaware, New Jersey and
Maryland has been almost totally de-
stroyed, and that the dealers in canned
fruits are reaping a harvest. Doubt has
been expressed as to whether 10 per
cent OF it can be saved. Here we have
heard of no injury to the fruit worth
mentioning. That the mercury occa-
sionally reaches the freezing point in
Los Angeles in the spring is true, but
this is generally in very exposed situa-
tions, and the damage ia slight. An
eccentric feature of our climate is that
frost is more apt to make its appearance
in the spring than in the winter months.
