How TO Find the Points Of a Compass.
With a Watch.

Few of the many persons who car.
ry watches are aware OF the fact that
they are always provided with "a
compass, with which, when the sun
is shining, they can determine u
north and soath line. All one has to
do is to point the hour hand to the
sun, and south is exactly half way
between the hour aud the figure Il
on the watch. For example, sup.
pose it is 8 o'clock in the morning.
Follow the rule given above and Wa
will find tho south as indicated be.
low. Prolong this line across the
face OF the watch and you havo u
north and south line. aud from this
any point OF the compass may ba de.
termined. This may seem strange,
bat the reason is plain. Whilo the
sun is passing over $50 degrees
from east to wesD the hour hand OF
the watch passes over $50 degrees
Qrom 9 o'clock to o'clock Con-
sequently the angular movement Of
the sun in one hour corresponds to
the angular movement of tho hour
hand in half an hour. Hence If hold
ing the watch horizontal we point
the hour hand toward the sun the
line from the pivot Of the hands to u
point midway between the hour
hand and IL o'clock will point to the
south. OF course the watch must
be set to correct local time; if it is
set to standard time the difference
between local, or real, and standard
10 should be ascertained and al
l. Jance made therefor.

The Removal Of Mrs. Days Body.

The remains of Mrs. DR.. Day were
buried at Mifflinburg at the time OF
her death year ago. Some time
ago DIR. Day requested that the
body I've removed to Selinsgrove.
The body was buried on the ceme d
terry lot of Joseph Bowes. The own
er OF the lot refused to allow the re-
moval Of the body without written
request from DIR. Day addressed to
Mr.. Bowes. This was two months
ago. On Saturday DR.. J. II. Dimm.
president Of Susquehanna Universe
ty. Sellnsgrove, came to Middleburg
with the necessary papers from DIR.
Day who is Missionary in India.
The arrangements were satisfactory
ly made for the early removal of the
body to Selinsgrove. DIR. b. Il.
Wagenseller has agreed to gratu-
tiously deed u lot for the purpose.
The lot will be decided either tc
the Missionary Society OF The
Lutheran church or to the Board of
Directors Of Susquehanna Universe
ty. In either case the lot will be in
charge of the University authorities.
1t is proposed that q Sarcophagus
monument be erected to the men,
ory OF Mrs. Day and to have DR..
Day buried by the side OF his de.
ceased wife, but his friends hope
that day will be far distant. The lot
shall also be used for the burial of
other Missionaries who die in the
service of their Master.
This move is an important one
and an appropriate undertaking
since the new location is in sight OF
Susquehanna University and be-
cause Selinsgrove is the home Of
both DR.. and Mrs. Day. The body
of Mrs. Day will be removed before
long.

tSummer Correspondence
The city of Washington is in many
Prospects unique. H. is distinctively
a city of officers aud residences rath
er than of manufacturing industries.
A comparison of the death rate
during the recent heated term with
that Of other cities throughou the
country would of itself suggest to
the casual reader that the condition Z,
under which the people of the Cap
ital CITY live differ from those of
other cities
For the past ten days tho whole
eastern United States has expert.
enced heat Of unusual intensity. La
New York city the death rate from
this cause averaged for time over Il
hundred a day. In Washington the
maximum temperature for two days
was 9S' and for ten days averaged
about $50, yet the number of deaths
was very small, about fifteen tor the
whole heated term.
The causes Of this peculiar exemp.
tion from fatality are not far 10 seek.
| The streets are very broad, from one
hundred to one hundred and sixty
feet, and are lined on both sides
with trees, so that pedestrians eau
keep almost continually in the shade.
Another reason is that with the
exception OF a comparatively small
number OF laborers, the occupation
OF the city is in tho line Of Office
work. The army of nearly twenty
thousand government clerks work in
buildings kept AZ cool as possible by
electrical fans, and every precautlon
is taken to prevent sickness. When
the days are very hot the Offices
close at three or half past three
o'clock, and then the people can get
out into the parks or into the river.
All the government clerks are en-
titled to thirty days annual leave,
and, if sick, to thirty days sick leave,
with full pay, aud during the hottest
part OF the summer every Que who
can be spared goes off to enjoy va
cation. OF course the routine work
must be carried on at all times. but
only enough are detained to ke,p
things moving. At tho present timo
probably not less than four thousand
clerks are out of the city.
In addition to the government
clerks, there il vast army Of claim
agents, numbered by the thousand,
who represent clients from one end
OF the land to the other in looking
after the securing of patents or pen
sions, or prosecuting claims before
the Land Office, the Court of Claims
or Congress.
To live in city free from manu-
featuring establishments aud from
tall buildings. crowded tenements
and Sweat shops is indeed bless.

Another feature ia which Wash.
ington is unique is its perpetual at
tractiveness for tourists. There is
never time when the city has not
its crowds of "sightseers" pure and
simple; they come here to visit the
various executive departments and
museums with precisely tho same
inquisitive spirit with which millions
of people visited Chicago three

WASHINGTON. May 21-The action Of
the American consul is based on the tarifY
act of August, 1894. which included a pro-
hibitior on the importation Of neat cattle
and their hides from any foreign country
into the United States. This prohibition
was authorized to be suspended in cases
of countries known to be free from con-
tagious cattle diseases, and ii Is not gen.
orally known that since last November
when proclamation was issued by Presi.
dent Cleveland suspending the prohibition
Great Britain. Ireland, the channel islands
and the countries of North, Central and
South America, no cattle have been al
lowed entry from any OF the countries then
designated. Exporting to the United
States from France. Germany, Switzerland
and certain other countries therefore are
barred. France and Germany have been
live stock, and our government officials hold
that pleuro pneumonia and foot and mouth
diseases are prevalent in those countries.
The action of our consul has special i'm
portance In view of the extensive plans be-
ing made, notably In France and Swifzer-
land, for increasing the expectation Of their
high-bred cattle to the United States The
notice Of our embargo has been Switzer-

at the Agricultural Department to learn
why the action had been taken
