New York Sun: When the Jer-
seymen who went home only once
week got back to town on
Monday night he was sight. Strang
ers who met him during the following
day stared at him, and his friends
jeered at him without mercy on &C
count of the appearance of his nose.
Must have had a pretty high time
down in the country this week." was
the burden of their comments.
What could the Jerseyman reply?
There was no gainsaying the ardent
decorations of his nose. He could feel
the heat from it, and even see its glow
with his own eyes. He could feel also
that his nose was very sore. What was
the use of trying to explain it TO his
friends that his nose was simply sun
burned? He did try this once or twice.
but the roars of laughter which greeted
this explanation were discOuraging.
Still, sunburn was the exact explana-
ton. The Jerseyman had been busy on
Monday afternoon, while the sun was
shining brightly, in repainting a fiat
tin roof, and when he quit work at
dinner time his nose and the tender
skin of his brow were almost blistered
with Sunburn.
In this climate it is not common to
find sunburned sufferers while the Their
mometer is away down near the freez-
ing point, but there is an interesting
portion of Lieutenant-Co Commander De
Longs story of the voyage of the
Jeanette which shows how plausible
this explanation. After the Jeanette
was crushed in the Arctic ice and
abandoned in 1881, and De- Long and
his companions took to the ice in June
of that year, they found themselves
suffering day and night from the heat,
although the temperature of the air
was never above freezing. With the
thermometer at 20 degrees to 25 de-
grees, the men worked in their shirt
sleeves and were covered with per-
spira ton On June &c De Long wrote
in his diary:
clustering hot since midnight, al
though the thermometer marked only
% degrees in the sun. Our hands and
faces are all swollen and blistered. On
the next day, with the thermometer at
30 degrees, he tells how curious it
seemed to see the men seeking places
in the shade in which to enjoy an af-
ter-dinner smoke and rest, and so day
after day his references to the I'M
pleasant heat continue. The party
even found it oppressive in their tents
at night, although the tents were
pitched on the ice and the thermometer
showing chilled enough figures.

Four FarniIies Homeless

New York, Jan. S1.-A fire that broke
out at midnight in the large wheel
wright shop of Fred Schaeffer. No.
40 Newark street, Hoboken, made four
families homeless and burned seven
persons to death. Schaeffer's place is
a three-story frame structure. The
rear was occupied by Charles Schroe-
deck. his wife and FIVE children. When
the fire was under control the entire
family was found burned to death. Two
alarms were sent out, the firemen
lighting hard to save the adjoining
property. The loss cannot be esti-
mated. -Schaeffer, however. will be the
heaviest loser.

Two Kinds of Sorrow.

Lutheran: There are two kinds of sor-
row-a sorrow that yields to despair and
a sorrow that looks toward hope. The
former is like vessel without compass
II knows not whence it came or whittier
II should go. The latter is like a vessel
driven and tossed. yet moving steadily
and surely toward the harbor The
former is at the mercy of the waves; the
latter plunges through them to the goal.
Oh. that all signing. weeping. burdened
souls could say: Though he slay me, yet
trust in him." Such faith, though it
look through tears. sees a vision of
brightness which sorrow may often dim
but can never DESTROY

CASE OF sENoRITA cIsyERos.
General Lee Removes Much of the
Romance Connected With IL.

WASHINGTON, August 3l.-Consul-
General Lees investigation into the cir
cumstances attending the arrest of the
young Cuban girl. Evangelina Cisneros.
have resulted in sweeping away a great
deal OF the romance that was attached
TO her case. He cabled the State De-
partment to-day from Habana that the
girl Is not the niece Of the Marquese of
santa Lucia, as has been publicly pro-
claimed. but is the daughter of a poor
and respectable Cuban named Augustin
Cosio. Her mothers name. being Cis-
neros. was added TO her own, according
TO the Spanish custom. making her full
name Evangelina Cosio Cisnoros. More
over, General Lee reports that the girl
is not an only daughter, nor has she
been reared in wealth and luxury, but is
one OF five or six children.
