Tropical Downpours.

The intensity of genuine tropical rain fall is extraordinary. The rain appears to come down, not in separate drops, but ill great sheets. In Darwin's "Voy- age of the Beagle" writing of heavy shower, amounting to 1.G inches i'll six hours, which occurred during his stay in the neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, the author describes the sound produced by the drops falling on the innumerable leaves of the forest as very remarkable and says the noise was like the rushing of great body of water and could be heard at distance of a quarter of a mile. Dampler gives a lively picture of the rain at Gorgonia, off the coast of Panama, where, he says, when he and his men were drinking chocolate in the open air, it rained so heavily that some of them declared they could not empty their calabashes, for they could not drink up the water as fast as it fell into them. In many parts of the tropics rain is a remarkably regular phenomenon. At Rio de Janeiro it is said that it used to be the fashion ill invitations for the afternoon to state whether tho guests were to assemble before or after the thunderstorm which came on regularly every day at a particular hour.
 At the government cinchona planta- tions ill Jamaica, on Dec. 21, 1885, 11.90 inches of rain fell ill 24 hours, but this measurement does not indicate the total fall, as q gauge when read at the usual hour of a. III. was found full and overflowing It is probable that unless care is taken to prevent this oc- curing many very heavy falls are not fully measured. On the crest of the Blue mountains, on the same planta- tions, 3l.50 inches fell in one week, of which thrco days were fine. Gentle mau'S MaQaZina

To SuppIant Tin Cans.

Cans made of paper pulp are being in- troduced to take the place of tin cans for containing all kinds of preserved products, says the New York Sun. The occasional cases of poisoning from can ned goods are due to the contents be- coming tainted through the cans not be- ing airtight. Many millions of tin cans are used annually by canned goods fac tories ill this country, and such cases of injury from tainted goods are compara- lively rare, but because it is possible, through slight defects ill the solder or minute breaks in the cans, for such dan ger to result, the canners have been looking for satisfactory substitute for tin. It is believed that this has at last been found in the paper pulp cans. They are oilproof as we'll as waterproof, will not expand or contract, and will stand as much rough usage ill shipment as tin cans, and perhaps more.

The Wheel a Test of Character.

Certain disgruntled philosophers have contended that the woman you see is seldom the woman you think you see. Mounted upon bicycles, most women have to tell the truth about, themselves. One can distinguish at glance the dar- ing, willful beauty from the timid, ten der girl. The woman is reduced for the moment to the plane of boy, whose good looks or lack of them, health, wig or of mind and body are apparent. will even go so far as to advise a man not to get married until he has seen the object of his choice disport herself upon bicycle. e.-Philadelphia Times.

"Her speech an Accent"

No section may exclusively claim Octave Thanet and say, She is mine, v ill the sense that Miss Murfree belongs to Tennessee or Miss Wilkins to New England, writes Mary J. Reid i'll The Ladies' Home Journal. Miss Alice French was born ill Andover, Mass. [, her ancestors on both sides belonging to we'll known New England and Vir- ginian families, such as the Mortons and Lees. When but years old, her fla ther removed to Davenport, Ia., but she was sent to Andover to be graduated from the same seminary which her Grandmother French had attended when girl. There are strong fibers ill her ma ture which draw her to the south and midwest. Some portions of those re- gions she says she knows like her own soul
 Her fair complexion, fathomless blue eyes, light brown hair and also her ten der conscience and love of learning ally her to New England Her manners, speech and magnificent physique are southern, while her humorous mouth and vigorous, practical mind bespeak her daughter of the west. A long resi- dence at the south and study of vari- ous dialects have somewhat affected her pronunciation. "If Miss French were a foreigner, q New England poet re- marked, 1T should call her speech an accent" but have heard the same pro- nunciation in old Virginian and Mary land families.

1n d gathering of officers aTIer the FrancoPruSSian war q French officer claimed that the French nation is the most artistic nation on tho earth, and that her artisans can mako q thing of beauty out of anything, however ordi- nary or crude.
 Tho great Prussian general, Won Man tcufel, who was present, pluckcd hair from his shaggy beard, remarking, Let them make something beautiful out of that.
 The French officer sent the hair to a friend ill Paris, telling him the circum stances and urging that, as tho Prus- sians had defeated the French in the late war, they should not he permitted to defeat them in the claim to artistic SUI premacy Giving the hair to a capable artisan, with proper instructions, the result was beautiful scarfpin repre- senting Prussian eagle, artistically wrought ill gold, standing on a rock, and depending from his beak was a sin gle hair, at the ends of which were two beautiful gold medallions, on one of which was inscribed "Alsacc and on the other ''Lorraine. y
 Thus the artistic scarfpin aptly de scribed the political situation: Prussia, as the eagle, with its conquered prov inces dependent, but held by hair, fol the temper of the people of Alsace and Lorraine was bitter toward the Ger mans, and the tic which held them was very slight.

" The inspiration to write came when she was tn the school room, attempting tn solve a mathemat- ical problem. Sweeping the prOsaic fig ureS from her slate she wrote Eng lands sun was setting" etc, and the poem was soon completed. It was first published in 1870 i'll the Detroit Com mercial Advertiser over the signature of Rose Hartwick. Tho editor wrote her a letter of thanks, which is all the remu- neration she has ever received for the poem. though it has been printed ill thousands of publications in this coun- try and England and been acclaimed by legions of youthful orators on two con tinents.

Fall of the Parisian Appetite.

The statistics of 1894 show that each Parisian ate 16 pounds less than his an- nual average of meat. The consumption has diminished yet further during the course of the present year. This is due to the higher prices caused by the ex- olusion of American and other meats under the alleged pretense of their un= healthfulness. The Society of Commer- cial and Industrial Economy of Paris holds that the working people have been enfeebled and made more liable to dis ease as n result of this limitation of their food supply. In other words, by excluding our meats on false pretenses France is punishing herself as well as doing injury to the United States. = Philadelphia Preaa.

The Bicycle and the Corset.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Truth says that the long vexed, ques- tion of the corset is ill a way to be set tied once and for all. Neither doctors nor rational dress reformers will earn the credit of the change, thanks being due to the cycle only. Cycle tailors and trainers in Paris are dead set against the corset.
 "There s no answering for your safety, madame" says the trainer, Eff you must go on keeping your conventional figure. You need every muscle in your body and every muscle free A ceinture just deep enough to sustain the waist band of your knicks (knickerbockers, pronounced "kneeks') is all I can al- low you. Indeed the knicks should be so light as hardly to weigh on the hips. The cycling dress should be so light and elastic that in wearing it one should scarcely feel dressed were it not for the warmth.
 We look ill Paris on gown wearing woman on cycle as sprawling cari- catural creature. with no sense of fitness.

A FAMOUS POEM.
Interesting Facts About the Author of "Cnrfnw Must Not RInr. Tnnirht"

Interesting Facts About the Author of
 "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight"
 The million more or less of schuolbOys and girls past and present who haVo be- gun their rlucutinnary efforts with the recitation uf "Curfcw Must Not Ring Tonight" will be specially interested ill something about the author of the poem and how she came to write it. The au- thor is Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe.
 Mrs. Thorpe was born at Mishawalla, Ind, i'll 1850, and was the daughter of William Hartwick. Ill 1861 the fam fly moved to Litchfield, Mich. Her parents were poor, and her childhood and young womanhood were passed ill a dull and prosaic atmosphere and there was nothing ill her early education or surroundings to 'charm the muses" or kindle the fires of pOesy.
 Mrs. Thorpe wrote "Curfew," her best and most widely known production, when she was 16 years old. This was in 1867. Some copies of Peterson's Mag azine had come into her possession. In one of these she found the story of Bes- sic and her lover. The thrilling incident of the brave young English girl deeply
