AN English writer recently gave
American women a castigatiOn for
their proneness to trade good money
aud themselves for job-lot mobiles. An
English lord, personally, is of less i'm.
pogtance than costermonger, but the
ambitious American girl don't find this
cut until too late. Self-r6speeting
English women would as soon think of
Wedding a Chinaman as one of the
nobility and our women will, it is
hoped. soon arrive at the same con-
eiusion.

4 SAD WINTER AHEAD OF us.

EhD WIN Eh AfiEAR VI 10
storms, Severe Gald, Bust ess Uphssya's. |
Queen yictOria's Dsa ana AOmentOus
Events in Europe Predicted.
The coming winter will be the most |
severe since 1913, and colder than can
be,recalled by the oldest inhabitants;
especially viii the south and vest SUI
fer in this respect. There viii be heavy
rain and snow and hailstorms of re-
markable size, as we'll as several me-
teOrs viii fall.
Violent storms are to come, one fol-
lowing another. Tidal waves will occur
several times during the winter, and
the Atlantic coast will suffer from the
.raVages Of the sea. More than one Of
the great Atlantic liners will sail their
last voyage, and never in the history Of
shipping will be recorded such fright
full loss of life and property. Fierce
fires and confagratiOns Will extend
throughout the land and loss Of life
from this cause will be appalling. There
will be heavy failures in trade, especi-
ally among insurance companies. Tor
nadoes and explosions will occur, and
again will the south and west suffer
severely,
November will be the phenomenal
month Of the year. The centeFing of
the majority of planets in the mystic
and accursed sign ScOrpio, will pro-
duce startling changes, which will be-
gin directly after the lunation of the
moon, which occurs on the morning Of
the 9Th; political upheavals will sweep
over the land, both here and abroad.
England is to mourn the death of her
noble queen, who will not survive the
winter, and the passing away of this
wonderful woman will mark the great,
est change in the annals of the English
parliament since the days Of King
George III,
War will be rampant The downfall
of Spain aud the freedom Of Cuba ars
to come. Turkey will be disposed of
and Russia will assume a dictatOrial
front, with the result that the English
government will lose some of its valu-
able concessions.
There will be more unrest among the
great foreign powers than for many
years. Deaths Of prominent people will
occur, and under peculiar cireumstan-
ces. Daring robberies will take place,
and there will be an avalanche of crime
of a shocking and heinous nature.
During this montch stocks will advance
rapidly, and commodities of all kinds
will command higher prices, but will
recede again and trade will not revive
until after April, 1897.
New and startling discoveries will be
made in science, and with the incoming
of spring We will have made wonderful
strides in the modes of travelling on
land, water and in the air.
Besides the queen, the planets fore
tell the death of England's brightest
man and the mortality among the
learned men throughout the world will
| be severe.
In this month will be born a ruler
whose power will be long and mighty
There will be extreme suffering among
the poor in the cities, and acts of law,
! Iessness and desperation from them
will be frequent; never in the story Of
living man will there be recorded in SC
short time such carnage, wreck and
ruin as this present year will live to
tell, with the worst yet to cOme.-Astor

DESERT MIRAGE
wondrous Tales Travellers Tell OF spec. RAJ
BeaEtIes.

WOndFous 1ales Travellers TEL Ut spec rat
Beauties.
One of natures true wonders-One
upon which much has been written,
but which is get not understood, when
its varied phenomena are considered
is the desert mirage. Travellers in the
arid regions OF the western and south
western United States tell wondrOus
tales concerning the spectral pictures
which the desert mirage has presented
for their inspection. Cool sheets Of
water and waving trees and grassy
swards appear where all is known to be
parched earth and burning sands. DC
easionaIly q mountain range will ap-
pear on what is known to be bound
less stretch of level plain, or a herd of
deer, cattle or other animals will be
seen apparently contentedly grazing
on the CLASSY surface of the atmos-
phere. Cities are occasionally seen
hundreds of miles from civilization
and phantom ships have been known
to loom up against the sky and appear
as real vessels to persons who lived SO
far away from the waters that they had
never taken the trouble to visit the sea
coast, and who had never seen a real
ship.
The explanation of the mirage, as
usually given, is as follows:
The sand, being intensely hot, causes
the layers of air which rest upon it to
become greatly rarifled; and, under
certain circumstances, this layer is
quite distinct from the denser stratum
a few inches or feet above it-just as il
it were a sheet of water upon which oil
rested. 1t is this rarifed stratum Of
air which acts as a reflector and pic
lures to the eyes those curious inverted
images.

A PERPETUAL POWER ENGINE.
The Inventors Dream aid to Have Been
Real at Last.

The Inventors Dream : aid to Have Been
Real at Last.
Paul HeilbTun, an employe of the
Southern Pacific company, claims he
has solved the problem of perpetual
motion, says the San Francisco Call,
This creator-for he cannot be classed
as an inventor-says that in 1891 he
perfected an engine that ran 365 con-
secutive days by air generated through
its own motion.
At the expiration of that time it
ceased operation because of a scarcely
perceptibIe leakage in one of the air
generative tubes. 1t was three months
ere he discovered this trouble. Now,
he says, the engine has been running
four years without cessation by the
Safeguarding air process alone.
"None but my wife and myself have
set eyes upon my great work" said Mr.,
Heilbrun, land none shall till return
from Washington city with my patent.
l shall endeavOr to patent every minute
detail of my work so as to escape future
litigation with imitators. Regarding
my work I'll say this without bashful-
ness, that it will supersede electricity
and steam. The generation Of air, &C
cordiug to my process, costs nothing,
and my engine will ceaselessly operate
till it is physically worn out. That's
practically perpetual motion, isn't it,"
Mr.. HeiIbrun predicts that in the
course of a few years engines after his
own model, but with improvements
suggested by brilliant creative minds,
will supplant all other motive power.
His enthusiasm leads him to prophesy
that before the close of the current
century ocean steamships and trans
continental railway trains will be OPP
Grated by this power, and with much
more safety than by steam or cleo
tricity.

In recognizing the Monroe doctrine
in the Venezuelan controversy England
bows to the precedent set by France in
1865 when Mexico was evacuated by
French troops at the command Of the
United States. America has nothing
in common with Europe, and the United
States, the most powerful of new world
governments, has a perfect right to
protect her weaker sisters from Euro
pean aggression, even to the extent of
declaring hegemony over them. 1t is
self preservation to do so, and while
some of the European nations may find
the Monroe doctrine a bitter pill to
swallow it is safe to assert they will
take the dose and call for more before
resisting on the field of battle. The
United States would make a very IN
pleasant adversary and all Europe
knows il.

John r.. MCLean's
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater OF more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The Oid-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
Tor its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
400, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial ana coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, Mr. Mclean frankly answers
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, It simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that The reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price Of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class Of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
