That was a remarkable group OF storms whlch
made mischief in the West last week. Most ol
them were local, each covering only very har
row but long strip of territory, and the whole
collection, scattered over the country irol
Northern Texas to the Lake REGION proDaoLy
numbering over a dozen, possibly more IMAM d
score Only four or five, perhaps, were wen
defined tOrnadoes, with the typical funnel-shapeu
cloud The majority of them,no douzt, were squalls ;
that is, sudden gusts lasting only few MIN
utes. and blowing in straight line instead OF
whirling but resembling the tornado in being
both purely local phenomena and the offspring OF
a barometric depression big enough to cover sew
eral States at once, and lasting for days. Ordl-
nary the veocities noted in these parent wlnd-Sys-

They seldom exceed twenty-five or thirty miles
an hour. IL is the local storm" usually that
exhibits destructive violence. But in the present
instance the general winds seem to have at

wide extent of territory, not counting spasmodic
blasts at the rate OF eighty miles or more III Is

the work of parent and progeny. This startling

result Of high temperature and humidity IN the
Central Valleys is an abrupt reminder that sum

William and Bismarck,

II William would like the private
counsel OF Bismarck he may have it on
easy terms. He has only to dismiss
Chancellor Caprivi and appoint Prince
Bismaeck's son to be minister OF war.
Ii VIC watch closely we shall observe
that the emperor will not secure Bis
marck's counsel. He is too glad to be
rid OF the old gentleman.
He wants it distinctly understood
that he is Germany and the Germans.
and has under his hat al the wisdom
necessary to run the machine. AS for
experience, his theory is that 4 man in
his eminent position does better to lay
up his own stock. the secondhand ar
ticle being in danger OF being musty or
having moths playing foot ball over it.
a young ruler who tells the soldiers
OF such country as Germany that they
owe him their fealty body and soul, and
must be ready to shoot down father and
brother ut his command, is not likely
tointcrferc with the serene retirement
OF an old statesman who has views OF
his own. Young William will try to
worry along on his own individual
curve and sec what comes OF it.

Seated, But Not Elected.

Mr.. Dcpcw, referring to tho New York
cases, says it is q peculiar hardship
that persons voting n ballot furnished
by public officers shall be DISTINGUISHED,
because there is II printers blur on the
ballots, and he adds with equal strength:
at is n fundamental principle Of Amcri.
can liberty that where there is no qucs-
ton that only qualified voters have
voted, and all who cared to did vote, and
the majority OF them expressed their
preference for a candidate, that candi-
date is elected. If any one else gets the
seat by any other process, he is not,
and never has been, elected by the peo-
pie though he may hold his office under
another title. 1t will be the unique
distinction OF measures passed by tho
incoming Legislature that it was elected
by tho court andn not by the voters"
There was not even suspicion OF
fraud, although some OF tho Hill parti-
sans shouted fraud. There is no fraud
and nobody was wrongcd by any one OF
those ballots going into the ballot box.
The wrong is to dopriv, OF their votes
men who voted honestly. The Repub-
lican seats were taken because the Hill
machine has use for them. There has
been nothing moro disrcptible in Amer
ical politics.

Concerning tho Street Cars,

The electric railway companycan with
little trouble to itself designate its cars
so that its customers will know which
Car to take to carry them where they
wish to 20. In other cities like prob
lem has been solved by placing signs on
the end or on the sides or both to guide
passengers by day and colorcd lights to
guide them by night.
The present designations, black let
tcring on muslin that needs washing,
are not easy 10 distinguish on CIR

unsightly. Very little expense will SGT
the matter right.
After the company has seen to this Il
will doubtless instruct its employees to

BREAKFAST BUDGET.

For some time Il young woman from
Sweden has been looking ior her sister,
OF whose whereabouts she knew moth
ing, except that she was somewhere in
the United States. Finally, the other
day, she driitcd to Portland, Me. and in
inquiring for this sister mentioned a
name that sounded little like Swift.
So she was taken to tho store OF Mr..
Swift in that town, who, however,
proved to be entirely ignorant OF the
girls whereabouts. But while she was
telling her story man happened to be
in the store who said that lie had a
Swedish servant girl who might possi.
bly, be able to help the inquirer. The
denouement was quite dramatic, for

Eire INSURANCE ON tho ;Enrn,.

An insurance writer, giving some rea-
sons why the rate on farm fire risks
should be advanced, gives some good
reasons why farmers should look better
to tho security OF their buildings. This
writer regards it as mistake to get too
much under ono roof, to have no pro-
lection against fire, to allow tramps to
sleep in the barn, to carry lanterns in
which oil is the illuminant
Because these things have long been
done without burning the buildings, it
does not follow that they may 60 on
to the end with like results. Farmers
will do we'll to bear in mind that what
ever diminishss the probability OF fire
will be noted by the insurance compa-
MES; and the contrary. is even moro
true.

A Distinction Often Made.

People do draw the most ridiculous
distinctions sometimes" said the man
from the suburbs, who always smoked
a pipe on the train. For instance, if
a friend asks you for postage stamp
and you give it to him, he becomes in
dignant when you demur to accepting
the two cents in payment. He assumes
a highly virtuous air, and insists that
he is always very careful in small mat
ters, so you take the two cents. Yet,
offer him a cigar or ask him to take a
drink with you, and he exhibits no
scruples, but accepts at once. 1t is en-
tirely possible, too, that if he borrowed
five dollars from you he would forget
20 return it, but when it is question
Of two cents he is punctilious to de-
gree. New York Tribune.

How Srnnces Are Prepared.

Sponges are prepared for export in
the following manner; After being
bought in the local market they are
carted to the shipping yard of the pur
chaser, where they are cut and trimmed
into proper shapes and sizes. They are
then washed and thoroughly dried, be-
ing generally spread in the sun for that
purpose upon canvas or old sails.
Next they are assorted according to va
rieties, and then packed by means of
hand presses into bales weighing from
90 to $50 pounds. Sometimes the
sponges are bleached by being passed
through solution of white lime and
water, so weak as not to injure the
fiber of the sponge.

A Robbers Name,

The title "Old Man of the Noun
tain" was first applied to Hassan Ben
SabbaI. who founded a formidable dy-
nasty in Syria A. d. 1890. He was
the prince or chief of a sect of the
Mohammedans. Having been ban
ished from his country, he took up his
abode in Mount Lebanon, gathered
around him band of followers, who
soon became the terror alike of Chris
tians, Jews and Turks. They paid the
most implicit obedience to his COM
mands, and believed that if they sac
rificed their lives for his sake they
would be rewarded with the highest
joys of paradise For 200 years these
"Assassins," as they called themselves,
continued to be the terror of the coun-
try. Whenever their chief, the "Old
Man of the Mountain" considered him
self injured, he dispatched some of his
assassins secretly to murder the ag-
gressor This is the origin of our use
of the word assassin for a secret Inur-
er.-Detroit Free Press.

at the number of the line before he put
down his signature. For awhile the
signatures were scattered, but eventu-
