three of them, and the group forms a
combination dazzling and holy, and
pleasant to look upon. I'M the center

What miracle is this? Who has
brought the evening lamb to lie down
with the evening lion? Whose mighty
power is 1t that has Joined together

pantomlmes?
And in answer, Ingalls, steps forward
and majestically says. Gentlemen,

Once again is heard the cheering an
nouncement that the backbone Of win
ter is broken. 1t is remark that we
have heard before, but not this year.
The rain that began late on Wednes-
day night, and that lasted far into yes
terday seems to have created this
impression. From the telegraphlc re-
ports received lately 1t seems that the
winds in the middle Of the Pacific
Ocean have so weakened the wintry
dorsal structure, that Its total collapse
may occur at any moment. This fate
full storm started off the coast Of Brit
ish Columbia, came down to Astoria,
and then took a baseball curve across
to Honolulu, presumably with the in
tention of seeing how the annexation
question was getting along. After
blowing through the whiskers of Min
lister Stevens, and gently rustling the
new born crinoline Of Queen Lii, 1t
made another squirt across the ocean,
and has at last pulled up opposite the
mouth of the Columbia, where with u
final dive 1t has knocked the bottom
out of the winter. So get ready for
your spring cleaning, your spring fow-
er seeds, and your spring bonnets.

Maryland, my Maryland" is talking
about a law compelling bachelors to
either marry or pay a fine annually.
That is, not to marry annually, under
stand, but to be fined annually, as long
as they continue unmarried. There
are, according to the last Federal CEN
sus. 1O2,135 females for every 100000
males in Maryland.
1t is the maidens of Maryland and
the Baltimore bells especially, that are
the really attractive portion of her
population. Possibly they prefer hus-
bands from elsewhere. 1t is bad for
the young men, but it is probably their
own fault. Perhaps they don't know
how to make themselves agreeable to
the ladies.

The Use of Sudden wealth.

The disposition toward mad extrava-
gance so often seen in wealthy young
men is not always the result of means
to crafty overstrong desires, but the
positive foolishness or mental incompe-
tence, which, under the pressure of mar
row means, would not only never have
developed itself. but never have existed.
Il have succeeded" said a very great
statesman, because / have never had
enough to live on"
The silly marriages the old frequently
make arei in just the same way the result
not of loss of Judgment, but of weak
ening of the resisting power of the will.
The consequences of unexpected wealth
are, however, as often fortunate as un-
fortunate, for they are the products of
the natural character.
We have seen man who inherited a
fortune. very large for his wants. be-
come during the remainder of his life al
most or quite miserly, but that was only
on large scale the result Of the impulse
to save, which on small one had been
pronounced q "wise economy aggra-
waited little, it may be, by a foible-
timidity about spending, which is con-
stantly noticeable also in men who Were
born rich.-London Spectator.

Greece, the man who was victor at both

chief claim to fame rests upon the feat

Sullivan is only 81 years of age and
weighs but 1853 pounds, yet he is a phys
ical giant without an equal in the known

routine of feats illustrative Of his won
derful strength, the most remarkable be-
ing the actual lifting of an elephant with
his teeth.
The elephant is not Jumbo, TO be

you come to consider the size of the man

mensions and strength of human teeth.
