FROM all that can be gained by read
ing the Associated Press dispatches, the
cholera in Russia must be making a
worse degree of havoc than it made in
America forty-three years ago. Here it
found comparatively strong and hearty,
because well-fed, population to operate
upon. But in the dominions of the
czar it comes on the back of famine,
only to find half-ataryed and despond-
ent people, whose personal habits were
never any too cleanly. What wonder,
then, that the scourge slaughters men,
women and children alike, and deci-
mates the population of that empire,
whose rich are the richest and her poor
the poorest in all Europe.

HENRY WILLARD is said to have come
over to the Democracy on account of
Harrison's denomination. Whether
that be true or not, he is shouting for
Cleveland in English and German, both
at once. Mr.. Willard is chairman of the
executive committee OF the Northern
Pacific railway corporation and has been
lifelong Republican. He must see in
Mr.. Cleveland great deal more than
he did in either Blaine, Garfield or Har-

Proud on th. Clima,e.

Cousin John and his wife we-e visit
ing relatives in the west. It was their
FIRST trip to that part of the country, and
they listened respectfully and admiring-
1y to the descriptions of the climate
given by their western host.
'sThere's nothing like it IN thesworld
Why, we have days and weeks here
without any moisture at night: We sit
right out on our lawn until 10 o'clock
and never think of taking cold. We
don't have fog in the morning the way
you do back IN New England, either.
Clear, bracing air and dry for an hour
before sunrise. And then people talk
about the wind in some parts of the
west L never saw any wind to COM
pare with the east wind on Boston Com
mon. The beauty of this climate,
though, is its dry, cool, bracing atmos-
phere. 1t beats the world Yes, sir,
this is the paradise for people suffering
from lung or throat trouble"
The next morning the visitors awoke
and looked out of their window. A fog,
sor something very much like a fog, such
as they were familiar with down east"
held possession of the country, and they
could see nothing of the scenery.
They went down to breakfast, and the
host apologized for the weather; it was
the first fog he had seen for two years,
he assured them, and it would lift in an
hour or two.
Sure enough, it did lift. and before
night it was blowing gale The sever
est wind that the ''oldest inhabitant''
could recollect set in and lasted three
days. Several houses were unroofed and
considerable damage was done to grow
ing crops.
During the visitors stay several very
severe transforms occurred. Only one
or two evenings were dry enough to per-
NIT sitting ION the lawn" Cousin
John was afflicted nearly the whole
time with hacking cough, and his wife
caught cold in the head from sitting on
the veranda after sunset.
The host was disgusted. Catch me
Dragging again about the climatel It's
as dangerous as trying to have child
show off, It's sure to do just what you
don't want it to. After this | don't say
anything about our weather. Youth's

Polly's Comma and to Her rather.

The following extract from Madame
Knights journal" written in 1725,
shows that children were much the same
at that time as they are now:
Thursday, about. in the afternoon,
set forward with neighbor Polly, a
girl about eighteen years, who her ia
ther said he had been to fetch out of the
Narragansetts, and said they had rode
thirty miles that day on sorry lean
horse with only a Bagg under her,for a

planned Of
About that evening we came to
New London Ferry. Here, by reason of
very high wind. we NETT with great
difficulty in getting over.

Horses cappered at very Surprising
rate, and set IT'S all in fright, especially
poor Polly, who desired her father to
say 80 Jack" to the horse to make him
stand
But the careless parent, taking no
notice of her repeated desires, She Rored
out in Passionate manner, Pray, Suth,
father, Are you deaf? Say so Jack

The Dutiful Parent obeyed saying
so Jack, So Jack" as gravely as if he
had bin saying Chatchise after young
Miss, who with her fright-look't all the

Abbreviations in Letters.

Emerson said that '.in letter any ex-
pressions may be abbreviated rather
than those of respect and kindness;
never write Yours affly.'" But, be it
said with all respect, this smacks of ped
antry. The close of letter is mere for
mula, and is precisely that part which,
in writing to a friend, may without risk
of misunderstanding be cut short or dis
pensed with. But no haste or degree of
familiarity excuses careless expressions
in the letter itself. Written words stand
by themselves; the tone of the voice and
the glance of the eye. which often con-
vey more than half the meaning. are not
there as footnotes, many and many an
unintentional sting has been planted by
a clumsy phrase or halting expression.
The same principle holds good in con-
versation. Magazine.

Japanese Doctors.

A japanese doctor never dreams of
asking poor patient for fee. There
is proverb among the medical frater-
nifty of Japan, when the twin enemies,
poverty and disease, invade a home, then
he who takes aught from that home,
even though it be given him, is rob
ber."
Often, said DR.. Matsumoto, "a doc
tor will not only give his time and his
medicines freely to the sufferer, but he
will also give him money to tide over his
dire necessities. Every physician has his
own dispensary, and there are very few
apothecary shops in the empire.
'tWhen a rich man calls in physi-
clan he does not expect to be presented
with a bill for medical services. In
fact, no such thing as doctors bill is
known in Japan, although nearly all the
other modern practices are in vogue
there. The doctor never asks for his
fee.
1.-THE strict honesty of the people
makes this unnecessary. When he is
through with a patient a present is
made to him of whatever sum the pa
tient or his friends may deem to be just
compensation. The doctor is supposed
to smile, take the fee, bow and thank his
patron. San Francisco Chronicle.

working for a wife.

An infinite amount of trouble has a
youth of the Philippines ere he is allowed
to take wife to his bosom. After the
parents on both sides have come to terms
the young gentleman has to work for his
intended father-in-law for certain time,
very often for four years, and sometimes
longer. During this time he must mind
his p's and q's, for if he does anything
wrong he is instantly discarded. Very
frequently unscrupulous fathers make a
practice of dismissing their daughters
young men on the merest pretense, thus
enriching themselves by their gratuitous
labor.-San Francisco Examiner.

Self Possessed.

Two ladies and an invalid boy who
was carried on a stretcher were the
last passengers on the gang plank of a
river steamer The boy and one of the
ladies were successfully embarked, and
the other lady was crossing the plank,
which was loose and partially drawn in,
when'it tipped and plunged her into the
river. Several young men on the boat
hastily removed their coats and were
just ready to leap into the water, when
she came up smiling, holding fast to her
bag and umbrella.
i ;''Now don't any one jump in after
me-" she called to the excited passen-
gers; I'm all right, and will float until
my clothes become soaked with water
Just throw me rope. There's no ne
cessity for any one else to get wet.''
The rope was thrown to her and she
grasped it with one hand and was drawn
70 the side of the steamer, when she
said:
"Now some one lie fat on the deck
and reach down and take my bag and
umbrella, and then help me out
A young man followed her instruc-
tions and she was soon standing safe on
the deck.

Immediately to a stateroom, she retired,
and in few minutes returned dry clad
and cheerful to receive the congratula-
tons of her fellow passengers, and to re-
heve the alarm of her lady friend, who
had promptly tainted at sight of the ac-
cldent.-W Washington Republic.

what Makes Hair curly.

The difference between straight and
curly hair is very apparent on micro
scopical examination.
A hair is a hollow tube, and a straight
hair is as round as a reed, while curly
hair is always fiattened on both sides
and curls toward one of the fat sides,
never toward the edge. It is curious
and little known fact that the hair of
women is coarser than that of men, as
well as thicker on the scalp. .-National

Tea, by the way, is one of the most notori-
