LADY PAUVcEFOTE At HOME.


school.
The British embassy in washington is
one Of the most charming of all the lega-
ton homes, and the women there are Of
among the most approachable. Lady
Pauncefote, for instance, does not look
the ''grande dame" that one is led to
expect when reading novels about my
lady this and Duchess" that, for she
is not tan and is stoutly built; but she
has the air OF ages of high4bred ancestry
about her, and most ably is she aided in
the discharge of her official duties by
her four charming daughters, all Of whom
are in society.
Wondering if the new woman" craze
had attacked this ultra English house
hold, a New York Journal reporter was
prompted to ask if Lady Pauncefote be-
longed to that class in any sense of the
word.
"A new woman%' repeated Miss
Pauncetote, with little puzzled air. Il
am afraid DO not understand you. In
VIVA sense do you mean it?'
rs she interested in politics? Does she
care 10 intrude herself In Lord Paunce-
Totes diplomatic affairs?" / explained
20, no, no. In that sense mamma is
decidedly of the old woman type if that
IS the right expression TO- use. Mamma
is IN no sense of the word a politician
Lady Pauncefote is essentially a home
abiding woman, and by no means enam-
ored OF society life. though she entertains
AeiAs M lAAlyt OUT no OLleQeF Lnan UlDlO-
matte etiquette demands She has no de-
sire whatever to mingle in politics. as so
many English women do, and believes that
her duty TO her position and that of her
husband is discharged when she sees
well to the appointments of her home
ana extends hearty welcome to their
large circle of friends. She thinks that
mother has a very serious duty to per-
form in rearing her family to become
good citizens, and that she has very near
ly discharged her duty to society when the
rearing is well accomplished.
There are no Official" frills about
Lady Pauncefote; she is too high-bred
Tor such snObb.shness as that. She be-
heVes that a lady is a lady always, no
matter what her position, and that unless
she is really liked by the people nothing
that she might do to an official capacity
would assist her husband or make her
own position any securer.
Lady Pauncefote is somewhat imbued
with the English idea that birth and
breeding have much to do with making
the LADY and defining social position and
that unless there are disagreeable traits
of character developed in a woman she
may rest secure in whatever position she
may be born. Her idea of helping her
husband support his official position
which is one of the highest in the gift
of the Queen of England, is to make his
home charming for his friends and to re-
ceive his guests with courtesy and kind
ness.

heavy shower, accom- panied by
thunder and lightning and a high wind,
passed over the valley this morning. The
storm commenced about 8 O'Clock and
lasted for about three hours. The rain fell
In torrents and the thunder and Iightn-
ing were the worst this year. About 1880
a bank of angry-looking clouds made Its
appearance in the west, and in few
minutes 1t became so dark as to ncessi-
tate the lighting of lamps in the mills,
houses aud places of business. The wind
blew q gale and the fash OF lightning
and roar of thunder was incessant. while
rain fell in torrents. A mum Der Of large
trees were blown down at Arkwright
and fiskville. and those which managed
TO withstand the force of the wind were
partially denuded Of their foliage and
smaller branches. The hillside streets
were badly washed and quilted by the
rain, and in some places are almost i'm
passable. During the height of the
storm O horse attached to an express
wagon belonging to Frank Brown OF
Scituate took fright at a flash OF light
ming and ran away, carrying Mr.. Brown
up the Providence pike at a rate OF
speed which he had never expected from
the animal. He succeeded in stopping
the horse near the Bennett fern before
any serious damage was done.
At Crompton several trees were blown
down, the schoolhouse chimney and those
on a mum ber of private buildings were
also blown down.. the windows in the
mill were shattered, and the shingles torn
from the roofs by the nail which fell as
Zig as marbles and the fire alarm was
burned out by the lightning. The dam
age to late crops and growing fruit In
the farming districts will be very large
and the highway surveyors will have
plenty Of work on their hands for the
next week in repairing the roads.

CRANSTON.
Frightened by The Storm-women Thought
End OF World Was at Hand.

About 1850 this morning will be re-
memberetd long by the Cranston resi-
dents and will possibly set some to
thinking on the serious side Of life. The
light was 30 nearly shut OF by the dense
cloudy canopy that lighted lamps were
necessities in many homes. Two women
of Cranston tainted during the dark
period and 1t 10 the testimony OF many
that they really thought the world was
coming OF an end. One woman said :
81 was too much paralyzed 10y fear to
fall upon my knees and pray, NO uttered
short, quick prayers while standing. All
nv sins crowded before me and was
made to realize that ] was not ready for
the end"

A TREE OF IRON.
Remarkable Discovery In a Pennsyivania
Sandstone Quarry.

RtheESabtt Distoftfs III ~
Sandstone Quarry.
A remarkable discovery, as narrated by
Professor Carter 20 the Academy Of Sci.
ences Of philadelphia, was made lately
near Three Tans, Montgomery county, Pa.
In n sandstone quarry at that place an iron
tree has been found embedded In the rock
ten feet below the surface. The tree Is
about lS fee6 long and ~ inches in diam
eter, and has been completely turned 10
iron, or rather TO the iron orc known as
brown henatite, and Professor Carter ac-
counts for the phenomenon 10y the fact that
the shales and the sandstones I'm that neigh
borhood arc covered with red oxide OF iron
and sometimes with brown heInatite. IL
is presumed that the iron ore was reduced
by organic matter, and that IL was made
soluble In water containing carbonic acid
gas; then, as the water holding the iron in
solution came I'm contact with the tree, the
iron wns precipitated on the latter, and
there was an interchange Of vegetable and
mineral matter, 30 that the rocks were re
heved OF their coloring and tho tree took 1t
up--New York Sun.

PROFESSOR ooRNUs DISCOVERY.
Atmospheric Movements Caused by Gyrs-
tory Influences.

The general causes which act on the
movement of the atmosphere are defined
by Professor Cornu In an address lately
delivered before the British Royal institute
as gyratory Influences, and, when once
the movement is set going, It continues Of
itself and sometimes increases In amount
In the first place, Professor Cornu de-
clares, the movement of the rotation of the
earth is to be cited, which always brings
with IL a small component of rotation for
displacement OF gaseous mass in lati-
tude or altitude, and, in the second place,
and as decisive cause, the solar hent,
which warns the air near the surface, or
the clouds. Thus related, and as the as.
cendiDg tendency Of the heated gas cannot
be equal over tho whole surface exposed 10
the rays of the sun--as much because OF
tho nature OF the ground as because Of It's
inequalities-the equilibrium is upset in
parts and gaseous columns ascend. When
once gyration is established, the causes
producing Il keep II up and augment It. =

COAL FROM CHINA.
Fuel Being shipped Across the Pacific For
American Use.


Those who have been complaining about
the recent advance In coal prices may find
comfort in the fact that oriental coal,
mined by Chinese cheap labor, has reached
the Pacific coast and Is In competition with
the coast and Pennsylvania coalfields A
few days ago the American bark Colorado
arrived in San Francisco with a cargo Of
anthracite and manufactured coal, and
though the cargo itself Is comparatively in
significant IL Is the entering wedge that
promises TO split prices on the Pacific coast
and ultimately farther east, for the dealer
who received 10 says he can undersell the
home product on account OF the cheap Chi
nese labor used In mining the coal that
comes from the Tonquin district. Though
Tonquin Is now under the French-since
tho Tonquin war--it Is being developed by
them with Chinese labor.
The supply of coal in that district is
practically inexhaustiblo, and not only Is
the coal marketed as mined, but the coal
dust is mixed with pitchy substance and
compressed into egg shaped Jumps. This
IL a new form of coal for America, and It
makos cheap fuel. Tho in6ammable,
pitchy substance used In It's composition is
said 10 not oply make q very hot but o
very clean fire.
This sample cargo Is said 10 DO only n
fceler for the market, and as soon as the
demand for it Is manifested shipload after
shiplCad will follow In its wake This de-
mnnd will como, for the coal Is said 70 be
of tho finest quality, fully equal 90 the best
Pennsylvania or Welsh coal. a clear range
grade of Pennsylvania coal Is selling In
San Francisco at Sl3 n ton, and the same
grade Of Tonquin coal can be sold at a
good profit for 90 a ton.-New York Her
