DELICIOUS Delegates

If a wife wants to have her
husband think as much of her
as he does Of his maternal
parent she must look to the
larder and see that it is pro-
vided with plenty of things for
the inner man. But quantity
in this instance is not the only
essential; quality plays an i'm
portant part in food articles.
You can fill dish with
peas, but if they are not of
good quality they will remain
full. We are now selling
genuine Petit Pois in one and
two-pound tins that are re-
markably good, and cheap.
Another delicacy is Pre-
served Mushrooms-new here
and we are selling them to
people who regard a good din
ner as a requisite to happiness
on this earth. Black English
Mushrooms, and many French
Mushrooms go long way to-
ward filing man out around
the vest pockets.
Another trife worth think
ing about is genuine English
jagged Hare. Where is the
Briton who would not 90 a
long distance for a lunch where
jagged Hare is one of the
courses?
We have a store full Of such
things-too many varieties to
mention in a week. Pickles OF
every sort-from the ordinary
bottled to Batty's Nabob;
Tippo Sahib's Curry Powder;
Orange Marmalade in stone
jars; Cross & Blackwell's Jams
in glass, and a thousand other
things.

made of wire, enables you to econo-

WEATHER PREDICTIONS.

Weather predictions are fire.
quently laughed at, and rightly, be-
cause they are not upon a scientific
basis. However, the weather pre-
dictions of the various bureaux in
the United States, being founded
upon certain ascertained facts, are
very valuable, especially to seamen,
and many a gallant bark has been
saved by the information furnished.
These predictions are for never
more than twenty-four hours in
Europe, and thirtv-six in America.
Now, however, it appears that for
some time past in India, the Gov
eminent meteorologists have been
laying up information so that they
will be able to predict the rainfall
tor each monsoon six months in
advance. The theory they go upon
is that brief storms and so forth,
which themselves depend on brief
local causes can, of necessity, be
forseen only very short distance
ahead. The greater and more last
ing the event the longer it can be
foretold.
This, of course, would be of ines
Unable benefit to India and would
be of incalcuable benefit in assisting
the Government to stave off, or at
least meet, those famines which per-
lodically occur among the agricul-
ttral population. AT the present
writing in the Central provinces of
India there are pretty nearly 2,ooo,-
900 people starving, owing to the
failure of the rice crop. The papers
tell us of the condition of affairs,
but a far more graphic description
of how terrible is the scourage and
how heart breaking the work of re-
lief is will be found in Rudyard
story entitled William
the Conqueror."
But if such thing is useful for
India, so would it be useful for the
Isles of the Pacific. There is no
doubt that the shores of the Pacific
and its islands are subject to per
iods of drought. By careful COLA
ton of facts it would be possible to
arrive at some conclusion as to the
reason of such droughts and in
some measure to prepare for them. !
TO the sugar planter and the cattle |
man such information six months
ahead would be invaluable. and
would save enormous values of
property.
A commencement of a plan in |
this direction might be made by our
own weather bureau and the great
er countries on the coasts urged to
cooperate. Much information might
be gathered, but we can never hope |
to do much until we have both |
ocean and interisland cables. Sit
uated as we are i'll the physical cen
ter OF the Pacific, these Islands are
peculiarly adapted to become the
scientific center as well. Science
advances, and what was
thought impossible few years ago
becomes an indispensable adjunct |.
of civilization at the present, and is /.
regarded as old fogyish few years
hence. Therefore there is no need .
to decry the efforts of scientific |.
men, even when their efforts do not !
appear to run on practical lines.
The study of meterology is, how
ever, emnently practical and it is
to be hoped that the countries of
the Pacific will take it up on the
broad basis that the meteorologists .
of India have done.

that only Rob heard it. She shook her
head willfully and ran to lend her fa.
food of laughing chatter throughout
tho meal. Jnck got no chance to sHy q
word to her in private until he was ON
the point of going away.
1t was then 10 o'clock. He had said
his goodbys and was passing down the
steps when Rob ran after him with his
handkerchief, crying out: "Mercy,
Jack! See what you came near doing
losing one of your beautiful birthday
handkerchiefs. 1 think l could guess
who worked your name SO cunningly in
tho corner, but won't tell you. Men
are 80 vain anyway. But suppose she
saw it and grew jealous, like Othello"-
"Come outside with me a minute"
Jack said. catching her arm and draw
ing her beneath the poplars. "Rob,
darling, why do you torment me so?
How long must keep eating my heart
out III this way?'
II Idon't quite know what ycu mean,"
Rob said, thankful that the only light
upon her was the low silver of newly
risen moon. She shivered. Her hands
grew cold In spite Of her pride, her
deadly hurt, it was hard to believe in
Jacks treachery with his voice in her
ear. He tried to take her hand. She
drew it away and locked it with its
fellow at her back.

Jack said thickly, "but-but l asked
you to marry ME. ask it again. love
you, you only, so we'll I could kiss the

for whim, to make the rest who hate
you so cape and stare. You see l know
all your wickedness-in fact, rather
love you the better for it. Say that is
truth, darling-say you will never do
it any more; that you will give me the
right to keep him from troubling you"-
Rob had been shaken by his plead
ings, his comprehension, but at the last
words her anger famed again. She
drew little farther away md said,
with an accent of delicate irony:
"Why, Jack, how can you think he
troubles me? You ought to know better
than any body in the world what fasci-
nation runs in the family and how i'm.
possible it is to escape it."

OF coal was taken from British ports
I'm American bottoms. Over . milllea
and . half tons Of American coal are
now used per year for this purpose.
The coal area of the principal countries
Of the world Is enormous. Japan and
China have over 200,0 square miles
Of coal fields. The United States has
nearly as much. India, $1,000 square
miles: Russia. $1,000 square miles:
Britain, 5000 square miles; Germany.
$500 square miles, with France, Bel
GUM, Spain and other countries about
1000 square miles. 1t is estimated that
the coal districts of five of the largest
European nations would yield some
thing more than three and one-half
billion tons of coal. Grumblers who
sometimes worry lest by the prodigal
waste of coal the supply should be
exhausted may be treasured by the
statement that there is coal enough in
the world to last over a thousand years,
at which time they probably will have
little interest /. in mundane affairs.
Pennsylvania has the credit of mining
fifty million tons of coal during the
year 1895. This is the largest produc-
tion given in the United States Re-
ports of any coalproducing state.
North Carolina furnishes $4,000 tons.
which is the smallest amount reported
for any state. During the year 1895
the value of the coal production was
nearly 1O8 millions of dollars for BIZ
luminous coal, and anthracite about
781A millions.

The Hair Under the Microscope.

Placed under a powerful microscope,
the hair shows a surface covered with
strong. coarse. jagged teeth, and more
strongly resembles coarse, rough
rasp. Dealers in human hair can tell
in moment whether the locks offered
them have been cut off or combed out.
They do this by rubbing the hairs
through their fingers. If the hair has
been cut from the head and has not
been misplaced, it remains in it's orig
inal position. II it has been pulled or
combed out and put together regardless
of the direction in which it grew, one
portion of it will slip to the right and
the other to the left. 1t does this be-
cause the jagged edges engage upon
each other and pull in opposite direc-
tions. The philosophy of this is dem.
onstrated by drawing a hair first one
way. then the other. through the I'm.
gers. which slip easily toward the
point. while considerable resistance is
felt when the fingers are drawn from
the point toward the end next the
head.
