HURRICANE WARNING.

WASHINGTON, D. e., July IG, $685. -
For the purpose Of giving warning
Of the adproach Of tropical hurricanes
(and also those extremely severe and
dangerous storms which sometimes
pass across the Lake region and north
Atlantic coast(, the Weather Bureau
has adopted special signal called the
hurricane signal, consisting of two
red flags with black centers, displayed
one above the other. (No distinctive
night signal will be used This signal
will be displayed st all Weather Bureau
Offices and wind signal display stations
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts anG
the Great Lakes, and also at numerous
other points at sea and lake ports and
along the COSTS mentioned.
In number of Instances arrange
ments have been made with steamship
and steamboat lines 10 display this
signal on their vessels. Special efforts
have been put forth 10 provide for the
dissemination of these warnings in
sections beyond the reach photographic
communication, along the south At
lantlc and Gulf coasts, and the adjacent
islands, and to this end arrangements
have been made in many OF the most
exposed and thickly settled of these
localities whereby tugs, pilot boats,
revenue cutters, or other steam vessels
will pass through the waters in the
vicinity displaying the hurricane signal
by day and firing rockets by night,
aud blowing their whistles to attract
attention thereto. Among tie districts
shus referred to may be mentioned
Galveston Bay and vicinity, Mobile
Bay and vicinity, the west Florida
coast from Tampa Bay south, and the
coasts, islandsf and bays of Virginia,
North and South Carolina, and Georgia.
The flag signals will also be displayed
from the Frying Pan Shoals lightship
off the North Carolina coast, warnings
being conveyed thither by tug from
Southport, N. c. Among the steam
ship lines displaying the tiag signal
may be mentioned the Southern Pacific,
Pant snd Wsrd lines.
This circular is published in order
tha; the Information regarding the
hurricane signals may be as widely
distributed as possible among tie
nerests and III the regions concerned,
and all persons to whom it may come
a"c requested 10 aid in spreading the
Intelligence it contains as far as may
be in their power. All residents in
the localities referred to herein are
cnjoined 10 be especially alert during
the hurriclne season, and particularly :
whenever the weather is threatening,
to note the signals when given; and
it is hoped that all who are so fortr-
nate as to receive the warning by this
means will be willing to make some
sacrifice in order to give as many as
possible the benefit of it. 1t is recon-
loeuded that in the localities where
these storms are liable to cause the
greatest destruction some arrange
mept be made beforehand BY the
citizens themselves for the distribution
OF the warnings 10 points b'!o:d the
reach OF telegraphic communication or
beyond sight and sound Of the signals
bufore described. This may be done

Mary had o little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow,
It ran away one summer day,
Where lambs should never so.
Then Mary sat her down and Wept,
And tears streamed from her eyes;
she never found that little lamb
She did not "Adverti. E."
Now Mary had brother "Jinl,"
Who kept country store;
He sat him down and smoked his pipe
And watched the open door
And as the people passed along,
And did not stop 10 buy,
Jim still sal down and smoked his pipe
And blinked his sleepy eye.
And so the sheriff closed him out,
But still he fingered near,
And Mary came to weep with hiin
A sympathetic tear.
s.How is it, sister, tell me true,
That other merchants here
Sell all tlleir goods and pay their bills
And thrive from year to year?"
Remembering we'll Lcr own bad luck,
The little maid replies:
''Ths other merchants get there, Jimz
Because they ADVERTISE

And put "uds" evrrywherc;

one twilight. after 1 had been playing
with the children for some time, ] lay
down on the lounge to rest. The children
said play more. Children always want to
play more And half asleep and half
awake / seemed TO dream this dream. 1t
seemed TO me that ] was in a far-dis-
tant Iand-not Persia, although more than
oriental luxurience crowned the cities;
nor the tropics-although more than trop-
zeal fruitfuIness filled the gardens; nor
ItaIy-although more than Italian soft
ness filled the air. And ] wandered around
looking for thOrns and nettles, but
found none Of them grew there. And /
walked forth and / saw the sun rise. and
/ said: When Will it set again2" And
the sun sank not. And I saw all the peo-
pie In holiday apparel and ] said: when
do they put on workingmen's garb again,
and delve in the mine and swelter at
the forge?' but neither the garments nor
the robes did they put off. And ! wan
dered in the suburbs, and ! said: Where
do they bury the dead or this great city?'
and / looked along by the hills where il
would be most beautiful for The dead to
sleep. and ] saw castles, and towns and
battlements; but not a mausoleum, nor
monument. nor white slab could / see.
And l went into the great chapel of the
town. and I said: where do the poor
worship; where are the benches on which
they sit2" and a voice answered. we
have no poor in this great city" And 1
wandered out seeking TO find the place
where We're the novels OF the destitute;
and found mansions of amber and ivory
and gold, but no tear did l see or sigh

the shadow of a great tree, and ] said:
what am ], and whence comes all this2"
And at that moment there came from
among the leaves skipping up the fiowery
paths and across the sparkling waters
a very bright and sparkling group; and
when / saw their step, / knew it; and
when ! heard their voices l thought /
knew them; but their apparel was so diff
ferent from anything / had ever seen,
] bowed a stranger to strangers. But, af-
ter awhile, when they clapped their hands
and shouted: Welcomed welcomed" the
mystery was solved, and / saw that time
had passed and that eternity
had come, and that God had
gathered us up into a higher
home; and l said: Are we all here?"
and the voices of innumerable generations
answered: IAN here" and while tears
Of gladness was raining down our cheeks,
and the branches of Lebanon cedars were
clapping their hands, and the towers of
the great city were Ginning their well
come, we began to laugh and sing, and
leap and shout: "Homei home! home!"
Then / felt a child's hand on my face,
and it woke me. The children wanted to
play more. Children always want to play
more
