.AggraVatlng Days.

Aren't there some times in your life
when everything seems to 20 wrong,
no matter how hard You try TO have
them go right? Those are the trying
days when you want to blame all the
trouble on the way YOU get out of bed
in the morning.
Another woman says she can make
more enemies on one of these days than
friends during the other 3G4.
Words may be forgiven, but they are
not so easily forgotten. The unkind
speech that is forced from you because
you are not feeling quite well. or the
pe,tish, annoying action that you in
dulge in simply because you are nervous
or worried doesn't do you one bit of
good and makes every body around you
uncomfortable, and long after the
words have been uttered or the deed
done the memory will rankle and burn
and YOU will wish you had held on to
your tons re and your temper before
you got into such a scrape.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
Ge"detic Survey From Atlantic to Pacific
IL Finished.

The scientific measurement by the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey of the distance from the Golden
Gate at San Francisco, Cal, to the
mouth of the Chesapeake, along the
thirty-ninth parallel. has just been
completed under the direction of Will
lam Einbeck, who has been in charge
of the work since its inception, in 1873
Every scientist in the world has been
waiting anXiously for the completion
OF this survey, as upon it depends the
determination of the precise shape of
the earth and the accurate laying of
lines of longitude, instead of the APP
proximate ones that are now in use
This line will be the basis for the re-
vision of all astronomical work in
which accuracy is desired. 1t win take
year to make the computations
from the survey and such notifications
as may be necessary. The work has
cost something over Sl50,000. The
chief object OF the survey Is to de-
| termine the precise figure Of the earth
1t has already been determined by

Whitest city in tho World.

There cannot possibly be whittier
city than Cadiz. unless it be built of
snow. The best way to approach the
port is to take a trip in one of the small
steamers which ply between the ports
OF Morocco and spain. AS you near
the coast you see in front of you a
white mass which appears to be float
ing upon the water, just as you are.
The first thought of n foreigner is that
he is in sight of an iceberg. The white
mass glittering in the sun, and rem
dered more dazzling by the blue sea
and sky. looks exactly like monster
ice mountain partly melted, so that the
outlines of castles and hills appear
upon it; but only for q second does the
illusion last, for you know there are no
ice bergs in that part and you are quick
~ informed that you are looking at
Cadiz- No other town in the world
presents such magic appearance.

The Potatoes Genesis UnsOlved.

The early nnturalists differed greatly
MS to the origin of the potato, writes
John Gilmer Speed in November La
dies Home journal. In England it
was held to be a native OF Virginia,
and in Spain it was said to have orig
mated in Peru. Modern opinion holds
that it is indigenous to the elevated
table lands of Chilli, Peru. Bolivia,
Costa Rica, Mexico and southwestern
United States. 1t probably got to Vir-
ginia bv the hands of some early Span
ish explorers. 1t is certain, however,
that it was not cultivated in Virginia
till far into the eighteenth century,
and then it was introduced in the
American Colonies ON account of the
esteem in which it was held in Europe.

A Prolific Cereal.

In India, rice is really cultivated
over but o small portion of tho
country; but from the fact that it is
very prolific cereal, and that where
grown it almost monopolizes the field.
ii forms, as already understood, one OF
the most important crops of the entire
country. In British Burmah the rice
crop occupies abont 90 per cent OF the
ground under cultivation, and in addi-
ton to what is consumed by the popu-
lation, the annual expectation reaches
some %, 200, 600 bushels While the
principal growth is in the lowlands bor-
dering the great rivers, another variety
is cultivated which grows well upon
dry ground, and as far up as the river
valleys of the Himaluyas. The Burmah
rice is of rather inferior quality, and
but one crop year In grown.

The Next U. S. Senate.

Republicans exercising the

They want the officers, but they
hesitate to declare to the coun-
try that the Republican party
shall be responsible for the leg

next session of Congress.
There is little doubt that the
Republicans could take into eau

session As Republicans, which
