that the Pope will raise the diocese of
Buffalo to an Archbishopan see, with
jurisdiction over Buffalo, Syracuse and
Emira, is given little credence by the

DISTRESS IN INDIA
Alleviated by the Arrival of Large
Cargoes of California Wheat.

CALCUTTA, Nov. 1.-The arrival of
thousands of tons of California wheat at
this port has had the effect of causing
reduction in prices in some parts of the
districts affected by the famine. 1t is
believed that a total of 10000 tons of
wheat have been purchased for impss
tation in to India.
The Government is doing everything
possible to alleviate the distress. 1t has
employed 81, $40 persons on works
which have been started in order to fur
nish work for those who without it
would probably starve to death. The
effects of the failure of the crops are not
felt as seriously now as they will be
later. The greatest distress will be in

why ir is that people with '.jags"
occasionally "see snakes" Hitherto
it has been supposed that these
reptiles were all imagination, but
DIR. Davis says that they have an
actual basis. This exists in GER
tain veins of the eye, which become
filled with dark, pulsating blood as
a result of alcoholism, making them
resemble snakes in appearance and
motion. These blood veins have
no visible motion in ordinary cir
cumstances, but DR.. Davis has dis
covered that in delirium tremens

A Germ N invenlor has built
house of tubes, whose advanta 1es
are, he says, constant temprra-
ture and. incidentally, strength,
comfort, and beauty. He first put
up a frame OF water tubing, allow
ing continuous circulation to
stream of water. Around this
frame he pnt up his house in the
ordinary way. The popularity is
that all floors and ceilings are
crossed and rrcrossed by the water
pipes. The water. having passed
through horizontal tubes under he
floors and ceilings, passes througil
the vertical tubes until all have
been gone through. In the SUM
mer, fresh, cool water circulates
under pressure through the net
work of tubes, cools off the walls,
and, after having run its course,
flows considerably warmer than
when it entered. In it's course it
has absorbed much heat, which it
carries away. During the long and
severe winter the water entering
through the basement is first
heated to nearly 100 degrees and
then forced through the ceiling.
Of course much Of the heat is left
all over the house, and at the out
let the temperature of the water is
about 40 degrees. The speed of
the circulation of water can be
regulated so as to allow fixing
certain temperature, equal through

Every few days some abortion of

girls, says All exchange, The abom-
Unable class of literature always
begins with sneer and ends with
a kick A distinct favor of sour
ness permeates it. The genuine
girl is unessayable. Nobody un-
derstands her. She is delightful
bundle of contradictions. As wise
as serpent, she is as innocent as
any dove. She is as modest as a
violet, and sweet as barrel OF

something about the piano. and lots
about making biscuits She is ten
der with her sweetheart, and sets
the dogs on the other fellow. She
is an armful of delights, and bless

The Volunteer Army has reached

the po.nt where the stability and
success of the new organization
seem assured. The partial details
of it's growth in this time were
given to the public in special
united rally of the forces of the
Northwest, and the statement then
made by Col. Fielding, the head of
the Western contingent, must be
gratifying to the hosts of friends of
the plucky little band. When the
new movement was started as an
independent and strictly American
body the headquarters in Chicago
consisted of a small room, one
chair and one table, all donated.
Now it is announced that negotia-
tions practically have been COM
nleLed by which the Volunteers will
obtain possession OF building on
State street consisting of twenty
six living rooms and fitting
equipment, and besides this two
city lots, valued at $4,000, have
been presented to the army by Miss
Julia Daley. This material pros
perity has complemented rapid
and larg numerical growth. for
Col. Fielding reports that the army
now includes nearly 1000 MEM
bers, scattered among LOG posts, of
which forty-seven are in the
Northwest. In Illinois alone there
are twenty-five organized posts and
1876 com missioned officers. In New
York the army has fine building
on Union Square, from which it
publishes It's weekly and monthly
literature. The striking feature of
this conspicuous success is that it
does not appear to have been
achieved at the expense OF the
parent organization. A few of the
leaders who were closely allied
with Ballington Booth are known
to have left the Salvation army
with him, but in most of the cases
the recruits have come from the
outside. TAere seems no doubt
there is room for both armies, and
perhaps the rule of competition
that is SO effective in business may
have similar results in these re-
ligious associations, and stimulate
each to greater endeavor and bring
to each a richer harvest than it
would have done alone.
