Dust Storms Here and Abroad.

6ahd and dust whirls occur in arid
regions J hot weather. They may be
anywhs from a rod to several rods in
diame.er and from twenty to thousand
feet high. They are sometimes COM
pound, score or moro small whirls
forming whirling circle around a COM
mon centre. They are very common in
India. They sometimes carry up SO much
sar in the Sahara and Arabia that those
on whom the sand fails are overwhelmed.
They occur also in the arid regions of the
United States. In the Magdalena Valley,
across the mountains westward from
Socorro, in New Mexico, during hot
day in summer they form at the head of
the valley in long, slender, vertical
column, perhaps six hundred feet high,
and then travel down the valley toward
the village of Magda.ena, over which
they burst sometimes, bringing little
puffs of contrary winds and shower of
fine dust. In some places group of
stationary whirls of the same general
character as the preceding are tied dowa
to one point. Such are the whirls which
form sometimes over volcanoes. Chicago

Americas MANY Names.

In these quadro-centennial days it is
worth while to recall the fact that the
continent now named America has gone
at one time or another by great many
names. The notion that Columbus held
of finding westward passage to India
by way Of the Atlantic is recorded in the
names. New India and India Occiden-
tai, found upon old maps as indicating
the land discovered by Columbus. Amer
lea Mexicana was an old name of North
America, as America Peruviana was of
South America. Then Brazil was for a
time the name applied to the Southern
Continent, Finally, the origin of the
name America has been gravely disputed,
though the weight of testimony leaves
practically.no doubt that it comes from
the Christian name of Amerigo Yes
pucci. Some early authorities, however,
gravcly contend that the name came
from the Peruvian word Armaru, mean
ing the sacred symbol of the cross, made
of serpent and stick, and the suffixca,
meaning country. Thus derived, Amer.
lea means the land of the holy animal.

1t may not be generally known. thinks
the Chicago Times, that Nebraska has
one-third of all the beet-sugar factories
in the United States. Here is the list ::
The Alvarado Sugar Company, at AL.
varado, CAL, was the first, built IN 1879
and is still operated by E. H. Dyer; the
second is that of Claus Sprcckles, at
Watsonville, CAL, built in 1887; the
third was built by Henry T. Oxnard, at
Grand Island, Neb., and worked its first
crop in 1890; the fourth one was also
built by Mr.. Oxnard in 1891, at Nor
folk, Neb.; the fifth is at Chino, CAL,
and the sixth has just been completed
this year by local capitalists at Lehi,
Utah. Thus it will be seen that there
are at this time but six beet-sugar fac
tories in the United States.

A few manufacturers recently offered
prize for the best original motto for a
pen. The New York Tribune AYERS
that a man in a backwoods county of
Iowa promptly sent him the old stand
by, "The pen is mightier than the
sword" with the request to send the
prize by the next mail. The manu-
facturer jokingly wrote to him asking
If he could prove his claim to be the
author of the saying. And he got the
following reply. "Well I've read Nc
Gutfey's reader and Kidd's elocution
and the Proverbs in the Bible, so I can't
say whether 1 read it or just thought it.

Perfumed PekOe Tea.

The tea that is always drunk in now
els, orange pekoe, is tea perfumed by
laying orange flowers samong the tender
young leaf buds, but not produced in
near sufficient quantities Tor the de-
mands made upon it by the lady novel
lists. A new perfumed tea. however, is
being introduced called Fayham
tea, and is -.ed to soon have the
vogue in literature of orange pekoe.
1t is even more valuable in life, because
it is described as agreeable cold as hot,
and can pc used to flavor custards, ices,
while In punch its own aroma is even
more fragrantly distilled by the other in.
gradients. Fayhom tea, it seems, is made
of the fat-dried leaves of white or
child that grows as parasite in the
forests of Mauritius. 1t botanical name
is Angrmcum fragrans. The plant has
long been known, but only recently or
child tea has been introduced in Paris,
where it has since become an article of
commerce. But it is not only as tea
that this parasite is making itself re-
putation, Cigars have also been made
of the leaves, and the vanila-like odor
they emit is described as worthy the end
of the century. The orchid of all plants
has been hitherto regarded as the most
purely ornamental, as it not teven sup
ports itself. The discovery of variety
that rivals both tea and tobacco on their
own grounds is regarded of economic
Importance, and the probability is that
the orchid which belongs to the yery
highest botanical circles, will yet be cul-
tivated and numbered with the crops.

A statistician of the German Govern
ment has come to the rescue of those
persons who do not share the wide
spread superstition that Friday is the
most unlucky day of the week. A short
time ago he determined to make q
scientific investigation of this question,
using for the purpose, among other
things, the records of the Department of
Compulsory Insurance. The most fatal
or unfortunate weekday, according to
the Investigator, is not Friday, but Mon
day. Sixteen and seventy-four hun
dredths per cent. of all accidents, it
seems, occurred on that day; 1851 per
cent. on Tuesday, 1881 per cent. on
Wednesday, 15.47 per cent. on Thurs
day, 1888 per cent. on Friday, the same
per cent. on Saturday, and 2.69 per
cent. on Sunday. Comment upon the
small percentage of accidents on the first
day of the week is unnecessary. The
compiler of the table, however, at
tributes the large relative number of ac-
cidents on Monday ''to the excessive
amount of liquor consumed on Sunday" :"

4 Pretty AnecdOtc.

Here is pretty anecdote from Rome.
81 am too old to wear white gowns any
ionger"-a wistful asseveration of the
Queen of Italy. "Let us take fort
night to think over the matter"-the
answer of her devoted husband. At the
end of a fortnight's time arrives a large
packing case containing white gowns of
every description, addressed to the Queen,
with the words, "The Kings decision. {"
Another story of the Royal couple is
equally characteristic. The Kings hair,
as we all know, turned almost suddenly
white. The Queen, much concerned, rs
a gentle hint placed bottle of hair dye
upon her husbands table. The follow
ing morning at breakfast the King ap.
peared with their favorite white poodle
under his arm, WITH his coat dyed fine
black. His own locks remained as be.

The "YellOvy Day."

September 6, 1881, is we'll rememb cred
In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
parts of New York and Pennsylvania as
the "Yellow Day." CaEada also took
on some of the characteristics noted in
the States above mentioned, only that
the yellow was of dull, greenish cast,
which accounts for the fact that the
Canucks refer to it as the sGreen Day."
In the morning the sky had the appear
ance of being clouded, but as the sun
rose it was plainly visible, and OF the
color OF tarnished brass. About midday
the intense yellow was most apparent;
everything except leaves and grass was
of we'll tinted dark yellow color. The
cause of the phenomena has never been
satisfactorily explained. .-Philadelphia

WORDS AND DEEDS OF HEROES

The hero true will speak for you
When towards lips are sealed with fear;
He pleads your cause when comes the pause
That chiIls with doubt the eager ear.
He dares defend
The absent friend,
And he will bare
His heart to share
The threatning, poised and pointed spear.
How brave his deeds, when fashion pleads
For gorgeous gilt and trappings gayl
He will not wear the feathers fair
For which he has no means to pay.
He dares to meet
Upon the street,
In garments old,
Men decked with gold,
Who dream not of the debtors day
How brave is he who fearlessly
In battle dangers dares ts mest,
And share the blows Of angry foes
In storms of flame and leaden sleet.
True courage high
Its flag will fly
In front Of wrongs,
When shouting throngs
Trample the right beneath their feet.
His word bond, he looks beyond
The courts to keep him just and true;
And We can trace upon his face
The honest courage shining through.
Hail, heroes just,
All men can trust,
Whose words and deeds,
Like scattered seeis,
Spring up like roses wet with dewi

rustic seat beneath tree which was on
private ground, although he did not

him, said: "Do you know that this is
