Raining Cats and Dogs.

Many explanations have been given of
the origin of the expression raining
cats and dogs" One is that it is a per-
version of the French 'catadoupe''-a
waterfall-"it it is raining a catadoupes, "
or cataracts. Another explanation is
that the male blossoms of the willow
tree, which are used on Palm Sunday to
represent the branches of palm, were
called ''cats and dogs" in some parts
Of England, where they increase rapidly
after few warm April showers, and
the belief prevailed that the rain brought
them.
Others trace the saying to northern
mythology, in which the cat is said to
have great influence on tho weather,
and sailors still have saying, 1.-THE cat
has gale of wind in her tail, when
she is unusually frisky. Witches that
rode upon the storms were said to as
sumo the form of cats, and the stormy
northwest wind is called "the cats
nose" in the Hartz mountains even at
the present day. Then the dog is SYM
Dol of wind, which in old German pic
lures is figured as the head of a dog or
wolf from which blasts issue. The cat,
therefore, symbolizes downpour of
rain; the dog, strong gusts of wind.
which accompany it, and 80 rain 'of
cats and dogs is a heavy rain with
wiId.-Brooklyn Eagle.

PulyeriZed Cork.

Considerable use is now being made
of the newly introduced French article
to which the name of subirine has been
given. The substance consists of pull
verized cork of different degrees of fine
ness, known as impalpable, fine, medi-
um and coarse, the pulverization being
effected by very simple means, such as
horizontal g1indstone. Among these
the medium powders have for some
time been employed in the French navy
and by various navigation companies
for painting the sheet iron and parti-
tions of the insides of vessels. The effect
of such coatings is said to be to consider
ably diminish the conductibility of the
sheet iron and the vibrations SO un-
pleasant which are produced as soon as
the sea becomes a little rough. Another
use for these cork powders is in the
preparation of substance called lie
gine, which consists of the powder
mixed with fine plaster in the proper
tion of about 10 per cent. This liegine
composition is turned out in all shapes
and sizes and is stated to be specially
useful as protection alike from heat
or cold, or for partitions, roofs, lofts,
ceilings and coatings of all descrip-
tions; also as packing for boilers, ice
houses, conservatories, coverings for
wagons, steam pipes, and similar uses
in short, for the large number Of
cases where it is desirable to maintain
an equal temperature.-New York Sun.

The Action of ChIoroform.


The impression held by DR.. George
r. Shrady as to the greater safety of
chloroform in young people, relatively,
than in old, is of note in connection
with the case Of a boy patient, about 9
years Of age, whom he saw in consulta-
tion with two other physicians, and who
was to undergo an exploratory opera
ton for wound of the head sustained
In falling down stairs. He passed very
easily under chlorofornl anesthesia,
when suddenly he ceased breathing, the
eyes became CLASSY, and death pallor
quickly spread over his face. Bystand-
ers said the 10y was dead, and DR..
Shrady was ready to express the same
opinion, but concluded to institute ar
tifcial respiration at once, and contln-
ued it 20 minutes before obtaining any
sign of Hfe-respiration had entirely
ceased, the radial pulse could not be felt,
and the only evidence of life had been
few convulsive heart beats.
Suspension by the feet was tried as
we'll as the inhalation of nitrate of amyl.
The case appeared desperate, and though
tempted repeatedly to abandon his
efforts DR.. Shrady was finally reward
ed by the return of consciousness. This
was his first unpleasant experience with
chloroform, although constantly on the
lookout for it. 1t demonstrated in
striking manner the rapidity and force
of its action at time when danger was
perhaps least expected. The patients
heart was sound, the chloroform of
guaranteed purity, and every precau-
ton observed. New York Tribune.

The Snit Snake.

There is snake belonging to the
small family causida, inhabiting Afri-
ca, that is said to have the power
of ejecting its venom to a short dis
tance. This snake is called by the
Dutch Beers ''spuw slang" or spit
snake. When this snake erects its
teeth, the pressure Of the maxillary
bone ON the gland causes the venom to
flow in drops, and it may be quite pos
sible that by discharging air from its
mouth the poison may be blown some
distance. But this information and
observation of these Dutchmen may be
taken cum grano sails, or we might
fall into the same errors as the ancient
Munchausen, Pliny the elder.--New
York Times.

The civil list or salary Of King Hum

The Situation in Japan.

With a liberal ruler on the throne
and the constitutional rights already
enjoyed, there seems to be but one
obstacle to the people of Japan
eventually living under a government
similar to that of the United States.
The stumbling block, strange as it
may seem, is the people themselves
and not their ruler. In summing up
the situation the Pittsburg Post
says: Two japanese parliaments
have been dissolved within five
months-the last one few day 3
ago-in a conflict between the en-
peror and his ministers on the one
hand, and the elected representa-
tives of the people on the other,
growing out of purpose by parlia
ment to abridge the treaty rights of
foreigners resident in Japan, to
which the liberal emperor is opposed.
1t is something of a novelty to find
an almost despotic sovereign imbued
with more liberia! sentiments and
policies than his people. But the
mass of the japanese no more want
foreigners or foreign customs in
their country than the mass Of
Americans desire the competition of
Mongolians, whether from China
or japan. In the countries of the
Orient there are generally two par
ties-one the party of the east, that
believes in holding on to the old, and
the other party of the west, that be-
lieves in introducing elements of
European or American civilization
and progress. The Japanese emper-
or is liberal ruler, as shown by his
gift of constitutional and represen.
tative government to his people, and
seems to be ahead of them. The
japanese people are using this en-
dowment of self government to frus-
trate the liberal policies of the en-
peror as to the treatment that should
be accorded foreigners"

Within the past few months, there
has been fully demonstrated West
NiFginia's need of thoroughly or
gained and disciplined militia. The
troubles with strikers have &C.
easioned the necessity of calling out
troops to preserve law and order and
the Common wealers have also nee
essitated.the civil authorities asking
the aid of the military in npholding
the law. In the main, the State
troops have promptly responded to
the call of the Executive, and have
rendered good service, but their or
ganization is not what it should be,
though probably as good as possible
with the fund at the disposal of the
Governor for this purpose.
The appropriation made by the
legislature for the maintenance of
the State National Guard is INSULT
csSat The amount has been entire
ly expended, and Governor MacCor-
kle will have to borrow money on his
private credit to defray the cost of
the recent services of the troops.
AT its next session, the legis.
lature should either increase the APP,
preparation to maintain State mil.
itia or should provide that when the
sum appropriated for this purpose
is exhausted, the executive may
draw ON the States funds to defray
the expense of maintaining the
troops in the field The influx OF
all classes which has followed the
development of West Virginia's re
sources, makes a we'll armed and
well disciplined and we may add well
paid, militia, as essential to the pres,
ervation of law and order in the
State, as is a police force in oul
our cities.

commencement.

As we write the Commencement
season is in full bloom. The usual
throng is here. The University is
the center OF attraction for hundreds
and thousands Of the people Of West
Virginia. Those who have sons or
daughters here, are, of course, turn
ing hither in thought or in person
through parental solicitude; those
who have no representative here are
nevertheless interested in the work
of the first educational institution of
the State. There are a large num-
Der of alumni, also, now scattered
over the State who are delighted to
renew their old associations and join
eagerly in the interesting exercises
of closing year. OF not less inter
est is the occasion to a large class of
young people, who come not so much
for the interest they feel in the work
of the University as for the festivi-
ties which attend the Commencement
season-the music, the dance, the
gaiety and the glamour of the social
features. These help to swell the
crowd and give zest to the occasion.
To the friends Of the University
those who have the responsibility for
it's success or failure-the Board of
Regents and the Faculty, it is mat
ter of congratulation that notwith-
standing the adverse conditions
which attended the opening of the
year, and the severe financial depres-
sion that has been felt all over the
country, the attendance has not only
equalled but surpassed any other
year in its history.
1t is to be hoped that the manage
ment may be so wise and prudent as
that this prosperity may not be
checked but accelerated in the com.
ing year. 1t will be fortunate there
fore, if the meeting of the Board
shall be harmonious and peaceful and
shall wind up without exciting any
antagonisms. With favorable start
next year, and proper effort during
the vacation season, it ought to be
possible to put four or five hundred
students in the University.
To all visitors and friends of the
University we extend, on behalf of
our people, best wishes for a delight
full season, such as will induce them
to return again at each recurring
Commencement.

The Tale-The Worst
on Record

VANCOUVER, B. c., June "a
cloud burst with the most fatal re-
suits ever known occurred near here
this morning shortly after daylight.
A train load of people on the Can
adian Pacific railroad, just crossing
the bridge over the Frazer river,
were caught in the very worst of the
calamity and every soul lost.
The train had been guaranteed the
right of way on the track, and was
running at a high rate of speed
when the cloud burst struck them.
The cars were wrecked just on the
edge of the river, and the train, con
sisting of its engine, passenger and
baggage coaches, were piled in an
indiscriminate mass of debris, with
passengers and their baggage
Not soul on board escaped, even
every train hand being killed or
drowned. A low estimate of the loss
of life is placed at fifty, but it will go
higher.

Dun's & Co. Is Review of Teade.

New YORK, June 1l.-R. G. Dun
q Co. s weekly review of trade saws:
The outlook for business seems a
little better on the whole, though
the improvement is not great More
over it is impossible to distinguish
between mere replacement of orders
cancelled for want of fuel or other
causes, and the new business for
which works are anXiously looking.
1t is somewhat encouraging that
the decrease in payments through
clearing houses is but 24.3 per cent.
for the first week of June; 27.2 at
New York, but only 1914 elsewhere.
The decrease in comparison with
1892 is about 80 per cent. Railroad
tonnage is larger than a year ago in
cereals, but considerably smaller in
coal and iron products.
With only 1887 coke ovens work
ing and 14,576-idle with the Cam
bria discharging half it's force and
seven out of nine of the Carnegie
furnaces at Bessemer out of blast,
the production and manufacture OF
iron and steel are smaller than any
other time for years. While it is
belived that deferred work will cause
heavy production as the strike ter
inmates, the demand for products as
at present much below general ex-
pectations even at the East.
Sales of wool in the past five
weeks have been l6,949,4 9S pounds
at three chief markets against ~
S75, 900 last year and 26, 796,150 in
the same weeks of 1892. Manufac.
turers are greatly embarrassed by
scantiness Of orders, and it is appre-
hended that quantities of goods
made abroad in expectation of re
duction in duties before this time
may be forced upon this market.
The returns of failures are still
encouraging, ZIG in the United

SO. the Tariffs n Tax,

The discussion of the sugar SEIZED
ule has brought the high tariff or.
gans TO distinct acknowledgment
of the following propositions, which
they have hitherto steadfastly denied.
l. The tariff is a tax.
2. The amount of the duty is ad
ded to the price of the article and is
paid by the consumer.
3. A protective duty operates to
the advantage of the manufacturer
only at the expense of everyone else.
Some of these organs are now so
thoroughly convinced of the iniquity
of protective tariff that they Law
down the further proposition that to
vote for protective duty is presump-
tive evidence of bad motives-brib-
cry, speculation or political obliga-
tions.
AS the Mckinley tariff, which was
based entirely upon the protective
policy, was supported by all the Re
publican members of Congress, we
regard this assumption as too sweep
ing, although one or the other of these
motives was doubtless influential in
portions of that act.
Many advocates of protection are
unquestionably sincere, but they
have generally defended the policy
by some such ingenious theory as
that 'the foreigner paid the tax" or
that duties did not increase prices.
Since these illogical conceits have
been abandoned, and since the Nc
Kinley tariff has neither raised wages
nor provided sufficient revenue, it
will be interesting to see upon what
basis it will be defended now, if de-
Tended at all.
No wonder Mr.. Reed is casting an
anchor to windward and preparing
to unload the tariff issue.-Times.
