The Scandinavian Independent Club met
last evening at Red Mems hall for the pur-

Origin OF the White Trash.

A negro preacher once delivered a
funeral discourse over the body Of an
old colored brother, in which he gave
an account of the species (white) which
threw Darwin and all Of his vain phil
osophy of molecular, gemmular and
atomic creation completely in the
shade.
"My brethren, wen Adam and Ebe
was fust made, deb was bof niggers.
But de Lord put dem in de the garden
where he had his summer apples, and
tole 'em, Adam you and Ebe may eat
dem summer apples, much as you

HIcks's Forecasts for February.

Let it be remembered that the en-
tire month of February is under the
influence Of Mars perturbation, and
that our terrestrial equinox will be
felt for the last half of the month.
These facts necessarily call for much
stormy, disagreeable weather outside
of the normal limits of the regular
storm periods. But even the casual
observer will see that the great GEN.
ters Of storm movements will hinge
about the central dates of storm pc
RODS. On the 4th the equinox of
Mercury will be at its center-the re-
dictionary storms will be central on
the End and 3rd, and the moon will
be new on the 5th. This combination
of causes may we'll be expected to
cause continuation Of cloudliness,
with rain, slect and snow, through
most of the intervening time up to
the regular storm period, from the 7th
to 11th. Heavy rains with thunder
and lightning to the south, turning to
destructive sleet and snow storms
northward, may be expected during
these disturbances. The crisis Of the
reactionary disturbances, normally
due on the End and Bird, will not likely
be reached until about the time of the
new moon-the 5th. A sweeping cold
wave will separate these perturbations
from the disturbances Of the period
beginning about the 7th, but it will.
soon give place to storm conditions in
the westerly regions, and during the
7th to 11th inclusive, storms of rain
and snow will visit all parts Of the
country as they progress toward the
Atlantic. Another cold wave will
sweep behind the storms of this pc
Rod, insuring cold weather until the
temperature rises for reactionary
storms centrally due on the 18th and
18th. The probabilities are that bliz-
yards will result in the. north at both
the periods above mentioned, and that
very cold weather will reach very far
south at the close Of each period.
The 10Th is the central day Of the
next regular storm period, the first
half Of which will be passed before the
actual storms will be organized and
well on their eastern march. About
the 10Th to 21st inclusive, the disturb
ances will reach their crisis in all CEN
tral and eastern sections Meantime
it will have turned very cold in the
West and Northwest, and by the 22nd
the cold, clearing wave will have been
felt far into the South and to the At
lantic coast. The last disturbances
for the month will be central on the
24th and 25th. This will be within
two days of the center of the Mars
equinox, and all storm disturbances
that may arise are apt to be aggravated
and abnormally prolonged, so that
continued spells Of severe and stormy
weather may be expected. February
will end to most parts of our continent
in cold winter weather. Such to our
minds are the indications, and we SC
admonish. March promises to be an
unusually hard month.

How q Blind Han Finds Ills Way.

1t is easy for him to get lost in a
room or forest. He comes in, gets
turned around, and loses his reckon
ing. he stops and listens. The
twittering Of a bird comes through
the open window to his ear, and in a
flash he is right again. "There," he
says, is the window, and the door
is over here" and he walks straight to
it.
Blind people are as timid about
venturing into strange place as you
would be about going into strange
cellar in the dark, but after
they have been over the ground
once or twice they step with conf
dence.
Every blind man who goes to and
fro in the city or country can tell ex-
actly how far it is by his step from
one point to another on his route, and
what are mis- landmarks by the way.
He will also be able by his sense Of
hearing to give you many particulars
Of the surroundings that would sur
prise you.
A stone house gives a different echo
from brick, and the latter from wood
he can always tell when he is uuder or
near trees, and will name the kind Of
street pavement from the rattle of the
vehicles.
In his walks he measures the dis
tance by steps when riding, by time.
There are watches specially prepared
for the blind. The glasses are taken
out and little points mark the hours.
By touching the face carefully here
and there, he will ind the time and
estimate the distance accordingly

The Throat.

"The great thing" prescribed Sir
Morrell Mackenzie, lis to try and
harden the throat do not wrap it up
too much. Endeavor to make the
neck as capable Of exposure as the
face. We do not cover up our faces,
and they are practically the hardest
parts of our bodies. Of course, when
a person gets to a certain age it is too
late for this. Keep the throat free
from wrappings. The throat is the
entrance to the lungs-a very vital
part, narrow and tender. The great
feather boas and Medici collars which
ladies wear round their neck and the
sitting mutfles which men put on, are
calculated to do harm. / recommend
turn-down collars. Gargling with cold
water in the morning is an excellent
thing; also bathing the throat, first
with very hot water and then with
cold. The throat gets the effect of a
sudden shock.-Christia', Inquirer.

took place in room of the brides

One would think that there would
be more than enough hides in this coun-
try to supply all the tanneries in Ameri-
ca. Yet this is not the case, for the
American Oak Leather Company, Of
Cincinnati, is obliged to 60 to Liverpool
and Hamburg to find an adequate sup
ply of hides for their needs. One of the
officers of the company said recently that
the foreign cattle are lager and better
than our cattle, and their hides are con-
sequently more desirable. Then such
vast numbers of cattle, the finest in the
world, are sent annually to Liverpool to
he slaughtered, chat the English tanners
could not begin to use all the hides that
might be offered them. But it seems
odd to think tina. the biggest and fattest
of Texan steers are sent aliveto England,
there killed. and their hides sent back to
America nod Cincinnati, and then, when
converted ;nrn leather, it may and often
does go back to England again.

Reluctantly the youth went out to

which, Darby and Joan fashion, the
pair had ridden, and brought the wax
in sack. On being weighed its value
was found to be only about half dol

"Wall," said the anxious groom,
"tie the knot and I'll fetch more wax

"No, sir I don't trust; that's
against the rules Of this Office.
Slowly the disappointed youth turn
