many not only the peasants, but the
middle classes and the mobiles, believe
that bees are curiously and mysterious

From Lieutenant Finley's book.l
shown to'be in northwest Missouri and
the adjacent regions. In southeastern
Missouri and the neighboring portion
Of Arkansas, on the other hand, such
storms are very rare, even as low an ele-
walton as that Of the Ozarks giving great
protection. 1t is much more to the pur-
pose to learn from Lieutenant Finley
land many people had already learned
it by observatory that tornadoes and
hurricanes can generally be foreseen and
to a great extent escaped.
The key facts are these: They almost
invariably travel from south Of west to
north of east, their track is generally
very narrow and they are preceded by
signs which any intelligent person can
recognize. First there is a dead and
sultry calm, usually with puffs of hot
wind as if from a furnace. When this
has lasted an hour or so clouds "boiling
up like muddy water are seen in the
southwest; above them the clouds are
sometimes gray and sometimes like the
smoke from a burning building In
either case the general appearance is SO
unusual as to be alarming.
1t is then time to get into your storm
pit" if you have one, or into the cellar
and close in % its southwest corner. But
generally the open air is best, for if the
coming terror is a funnel shaped hur-
ricane it is very rarely more than few
rods wide. If you see that it is coming
on like a narrow column Of cloud then
run to the northwest or southeast. Never
in any other direction. The funnel
may always be avoided thus, but in the
case of a tornado the "storm pit" is your
refuge.

Congressman Bland is almost as cele-
brated in Washington for his trousers as
for his silver bill. They are described as a
dream, of the nightmare variety. He is
short and rather inclined TO corpulency,
SO the defects of hi, neither garments are
therefore conspicuous.

The Smallest Officer of the Army.

| hear that Captain Osborne, the
husband of the lady who figured Sc
unpleasantly in the recent great pearl
trial in London, is about to be trans
ferred from the carbineers, who are
in garrison at Edinburgh. to some
cavalry regiment serving in India.
Life in England just now can scarcely
be agreeable to him, and out in India
he may in time forget the cruel man
ner in which he has been deceived by
his wife. Captain Osborne is the
smallest dragon in the carbineers, as
we'll as the most diminutiye officer in
the army, and during his first period
of service in India the natives laughed
at him and asked whatever was
Kaisar-i-Hind (the Empress of India)
doing to have such a little officer in
the British army. Some people talk
of a divorce for little Captain Os-
borne, but he could not get it. Mrs.
Osborne can be sentenced to punish
ment for what she has done, but can
not be touched in any way for the
great wrong she has inflicted upon
her husband. blasting forever the life
of the gallant and innocent little
officer.-New York Recorder.

is safe estimate. On the other hand,
some deduction must be made for de-
linouency in the payment of subscrip-

tbe subscribed amounts has been called

number about 10000. Among subscrib-

etc has caused thus far a delinquency
in collections of between z and 8 per

than was anticipated. Making a very
liberal allowance for delinquencies, the

Add to this the amount estimated to
be necessary for buildings $4,000, 000),
and the grand total sum to be expended
by the Exposition Company stands at
$18, $50, 453. This does not include, of
course, the expenditure by the United
States Government, the States of the
Union, or foreign countries. Of this
S18, $50, 453, about SIT 600, 900 must be
paid out before the gates of the EXPOSE
ton are thrown open to the public, on
Nav 1, 1898. The total amount which
the Exposition Company has paid out up
to date, for all purposes, is S2,779,7O7.
Owing to the present enormous demands
of construction, the expenditure is now
running at nearly 81 200, 900 month.
