in A MOTOR CAR.
A Shocking Which the Passengers
Got in Wet Weatser.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.


A passenger on a Broadway motor had an
unusual experience Tuesday morning and
one that will likely be guarded against
hereafter. For once there was good fire
In the stove, and passengers remarked con-
corning the departure of the road from
former customs.
On the floor OF the car was a wooden
era ting. the Stats of which were about half
an inch thick, and running the full length
OF the car The snow carried into the car
soon melted, and between each Stat was
stream Of water which acted as a conductor
to the powerful dynamo under the car.
But one passenger was without overshoe
Glad to get by the red-hot stove he fell into
a seat and threw his overcoat open. planking
his wet shoes squarely down on the grating.
The motor started and so did the passenger,
and the rapidly with which he climbed on

the seats was a caution, and everybody
looked at him. wondering why a fuGatic
going on Newberg car should be without
an attendant.
As soon as he had sufficiently recovered
from the shock he attempted TO explain the
matter, but the passengers only laughed all
the more, and the conductor was not slow In
saying that the man was crazy, but he would
care for him until the asylum was reached.
A Polaek passenger. whose feet were en-
cased in pair of gum boots, thought he
would try the experiment and determine to
his satisfa elton as well as that of the others
II such thing as getting shock could be
possible, SO he pulled off his boots, and
while the car was stopping fol passenger
he stood on the grating laughing. The
motor started with jerk The foreigner
gave one yell and sprang on the laps of tw
women, who in turn yelled and pushed him
of on the floor again; then he jumped for
the cushion.
After that no one tried any more expert
ments, and the man without rubbers was
INDICATED.

HOSPITALITY IN ARKANSAS.
Some Peculiar Scenes in the Noun

Travelling in the mountains of Southeast
Arkansas a few years ago my guide get lost.
Night overlook us and we stopped at the
house Of typical Arkansan to remain al
night. The man made every excuse in the
world. but 1t being sparsely settled neigh
borhoOd he consented to keep us.
The family consisted of o father and
mother and twelve children. There were
six daughters-all fine, buxom. good look
ing girls, averaging about 100 pounds each.
There were two rooms To the house, which
was built Of round logs. In fact there were
two separate houses, with about six feet
space between them, so that we had to 60
outdoors from one to get into the other.
One rOom was used as 4 sleeping apart
ment, the other as kitchen. Our fare con-
sisted OF corn bread, sorghum molasses and
coffee with no sugar or cream. My knife
was broken in two. and the fork had but
one prong. drank my coffee from tea
cup, my guide from an UPSTREAM, and the
landlord from the lid Of little tin bucket.
In the sleeping apartment there were but
three beds, and sixteen OF us to use them.
These beds we're constructed OF upright
pieces nailed to the floor, with piece Of
scantling extending from one to the other,
and small poles laid from the scantling to
the climbing Of the cabin, upon which a
straw tick was laid. These beds were very

and the residue were scattered promiscu-
ously over the floor. The family went out
while the strangers prepared to retire. The
old man slept next to our bed. with re-
volyer under his pillow and a Winchester
by his side. Somnambulism WAS not in-
dulged in that night by the visitors. The
room by actual measurement, was 12x14

happiest l ever saw.

Corns are Of two interchangeable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows
IN rows. animal corn grows ON toes.
There are several kinds OF corn;
there is the unicorn, the capncorn,
the corn-dodger, the field corn and
the toe corn, which Is the corn YOU
feel most. 1t is said | believe, that
gophers like corn; but persons nav
inc corns do not like to go tarit they
can help it. Corns have kernels
and some colonies have corns. veg
etable corn grows on ears, but am
NAL corn grows on the feet, at the
other end of the body. Another
kind of corn is the acorn; these kina
GROW on oaks; but there is no hoax
about the corn. Many man, when
he has a corn, wishes it was an
acorn. Folks who have corns some
times send for a doctor; and II the
doctor himself is corned he won't DO
as well as if he isn't. The doctors
saw corns are produced by tight
boots and shoes, which is probably
the reason why when a man is tlght
they say he is corned. 1t a farmer

OUR CLIMATE NOT CHANGING.

Prof. Hazen of the United States sig
nal service recently lectured before the
Y. NJ. c. A. OF Washington upon the
theme "ls our climate changing
He explained that years OF unusual
cold or heat recur at intervals just
as the seasons do in the years. The
years OF 1875, and 81. and SO, he
pointed out, were unusually cold
Eighteen hundred and eighty had
remarkably warm winter, and the
February Of 1882 was the warmest
on record in Chicago. While the ex-
PLANTATION had been given that the
cold here came from the Northwest
country, that was an explana-
ton which did not explain. The
temperature IN Washington this
winter had been 18o below its aver
age, while the temperature OF Bis
marck, Dak., had been s. higher
than its average. Ordinarily i, was
2So colder in Bismarck than in
Washington. but the difference this
winter was but five degrees. The
weather south of us has been very
cold all winter, Prof Hazen said
and the south winds which usual
" bring heat have brought only cold
The high areas have been cold also
the professor explained, and obser
vations at Mount Washington hav'
proven that when the high areas ar
cold the thermometer is low close tt
the earth.
Speaking of the meteorological ad
vancemcnt in the United States ant
, Europe, Prot. Hazen declared tina
Americans are ahead of the oil
, world scientists in this field, becaus
f the climatic phenomena OF TIN
: country furnish a better oppo1
: tunitv for study than the condition
: in Europe.
At the close OF the lecture Pro
i Hazen gave the audience an oppo
t tuntv to ask questions. lnrespon'
{ to query, he said that the stirrir
:, up OF the atmosphere by the VII
a tends to bring down the cold lro
n the upper regions, The winds
e this winter had been unusual
o strong.
/ Tel us something about tho
rain making experiments, asked
5 auditor.
l. Prot. Hazen expressed his opini'
9 that the raiu-mak1ng experiment
had not been successful, but II;
Is proved that only a momenta
re sprinkle could be produced by t
N means used. "lt we knew just VIII
t caused rain we might produce co
in ditions which would be favorable
b. it," he said, "but we are too we

take this opportunity to return
my thanks to those who have respond
ed SO nobly to the call for help. There
has been no eXaggeration of the magni-
tude of the disaster, and the need of
systematic, experienced laborers in
this field, together with confidence in
the Red Cross as the best agent to
relieve the suffering and restore these
desolated islands, is the reason why
Its aid has been invoked and the work
given into its hands. Let me close
by saying to the charitable every-
where that the work has just begun :;
that the means already contributed
are altogether inadequate to carry

siderable length of time. 1t will be

Senator Butler left last week for
South Carolina to see for himself the
extent of the cyclone disaster, and to
put up his political fences wherever
Illlman has managed TO weaken them.
Before leaving he called on the Pres
ldent to talk over South Carolina mat
tiers, and the appointment of the col
iector in particular. There is very
little doubt but that Ben Perry of
Greenville will be the next collector.
The Reformers are fighting him, but
in view of The bitter denunciatory
speeches some of them have made re-
garding the administration their pro-
test is not likely to have any weight.
The collectorship fight will probably
come to an issue early next week.
Senator Butler has every assurance
that his candidate will be appointed.
Representative Talbert of South
Carolina has introduced a bill to
amend tho act of July u. 1892, in re!a-
tion to pensioning the soldiers in the
FLORIDA and Indian wars of 1882 to 1912
inclusive. His amendment provides
that the Florida war of 1856 shall be
included in the act. If by hook or
crook this bill passes Congress there
are about 200 veterans in the Southeast
who will come in for pensions under its
