THE weather on Thanksgiving was
not especially agreeable but few COM
plants were heard. The temperature
was about at the freezing point all day
and mixture of drizzling rain and
snow fell for time. Everyone seemed
intent on making the best of every
thing and good cheer was the rule
almost everywhere. Morgantown
people are very sociable and scores of
families gathered together to take
their Thanksgiving dinners and enjoy
their reunions. The town was quiet
during the day very little business of
any kind being transacted.

Hesitation of the pranks of electricity,
says the Asheville (N. c. Citizen.
Along the top of the ridge for dis

was q deep furrow. as if made by a
large plow. AS the current passed along
large pieces of turf were thrown aside.
tough rhododendron bushes were torn
up by the roots and hurled to one side,
while huge powders that lay in the
pathway were split in twain and in some
instances shivered to atoms.
After the current had passed along
the surface of the mountain, or top
most ridges, for so or 60 yards, it ap-
pears to have divided, one fork going
down the mountain side and the other
continuing on the ridge for some IS or

The strange feature of this electrical
phenomenon is that the charge did not

remaining for SO great distance on

AN ODD PROJECTlLE.
How q venturesOme Missouri Lad
Shot and Killed q Deer
with Marble.

There is boy in Taney county who
has record which perhaps few, if any,
old hunters can match. He killed deer
with marble. True, the marble was
shot from gun, but still the occurrence
may be ranked among the most un-
usual of hunting events, says the Kan
sas City Journal.
The lad was out in the woods shoot
ing and had exhausted his supply OF
shot. He had put into his muzzle-load-
er, a single-barrel gun of the old pat
tern, a charge of powder, when he dis
covered that his shot pouch was empty.
The boy had in his pocket marble
which he used as "taw"i in playing the
common game. The marble exactly fit
ted the muzzle of his gun, and, hardly
thinking what might result from the
experiment, the young hunter dropped
the "taw" down on the wadding cover.
ing the powder.
Strange things happened down in the
Bull Creek hills, and on his way home
the boy came upon q deer, which at
close range stopped and challenged his
aim. The adventurous scion of good
hunting stock leveled his gun, pulled
the trigger and brought down the game,
the marble boring hole into the vitals
of the deer.

RUSSIA AND CHINA AT ONE.
Report That the Csar Would Facili-
tate the Expectation Of Celes-
tlal Products.

The intimacy OF China and Russia haa
most profound causes, says the Chau-
tauquan. The Chinese have a very dis
tinct feeling of their interests. Be-
tween Russia and Chinese interests
there is no opposition; there is simili-
tude. England, the United States, Ger
many and France have only one object:
To make of China an immense market
for the product of their industry, to i'm.
pose upon it, by force, if need be, thei,
merchandise. On the contrary, Russia
and Japan seek to facilitate the ex.
portation in Europe of Chinese prod
ucts. Russia, with its railroads, will
be the middleman between producing
China and consuming Europe. The
Russian provinces produce nothing
which China furnishes; they have
every advantage in being put in contact
with the innumerable population Of the
Celestial empire.
The immense current of exchanges
which will be established between
China and Russia by the new railway
will carry life and prosperity into the
Siberian steppes. In exploiting China
the Russians will with the same stroke
throw Siberia open to Improvement;
they will rapidly make it one OF the
greatest centers of agricultural produc-
tion in the world. In the economic de-
velopment of China, Russia has moth

q splendid gold watch that had been

king. "At my aunt's," was the reply.
Princess Adelaide was interrogated on
the subject, but she knew nothing
about it. Then the young scapegrace
admitted that he had pawned it. "My
aunt" therefore, became proverbial for
the mont-de-piete. But then, it may be
asked how it comes about that the
pawnbroker in England is facetiously
spoken ofas uncle" because the French
say "aunt." Here in England every
thing goes by contraries. The French
coachman drives on the right, the Eng
lish on the left; the French soldier has
red trousers, the English soldier a red
coat; the Frenchman eats an oyster
out Of the hollow half of the shell, the
out Of the fat half; the
French epicure drinks champagne after
dinner, the English epicure during dim

GRANTS ILLNESS.
Said Not to Have Been Due E1t1raly
to Toba3eo-CaAeeR 11om
Pipe Smoking.

Notwithstanding al the good ar9u-
ments that have been offered against
the evils Of excessive smoking, it can
hardly be claimed that the habit is en-
tirely responsible for the production
of cancer Of the lips, mouth or throat,
says the New York Herald. Since the
illness Of Gen. Grant it has been the
popular belief that the dreaded dis
ease from which he suffered was caused
by his overindulgencei in tobacco. Thus
it may be easy TO believe from report
that another victim of tobacco has been
added to the long list Of similar suf-
ferers.
The facts, however, in these cases do
not by any means confirm the theory.
It was we'll settled in Gen. Grants case
that tobacco in itself was not the in
.tiative cause of his throat trouble, but
merely induced subsequent aggrava-
ton Of symptoms by the extra irrita-
ton of the smoke passing over the al
ready diseased surface.
It is quite true that cancer Of the lips
Is very common among pipe smokers,
but the real factor Of harm is not the
tobacco or any special poison it may
contain, but the persistent, localized ir-
ritation OF the pipestem. Clay pipes,
above all others, are particularly harm
full, as they are the most easily heated,
have rough surface for the lip, are
mostly used by persistent smokers and
are usually held stationary on one side
of the mouth, all Of which tends tc
focalize and intensity the irritation
which determines the malignant
growth. The first indication of the dis
ease is watery patch on the lip at the
usual point of contact with the pipe
stem. When discovered early it is per.
fectly amenable to surgical treatment,
the percentage of cures being larger
than that Of any other form of cancer.

MOSQUITOES KILL BEAR.
Upon the Yukon These Insects Force
Deer to Flee to the Snow
Lane for safety.

Not only do tho Yukon mosquitoes
attack men and overwhelm them, but
they drive the moose. deer and caribou
up the mountains to the snow line,
where these animals would prefer not
to be in berry time. They kill dogs,
and even the big brown bear that is
often miscalled a grizzly has succumbed
to them. says the Denver Times. Bears
come down to the river from the hill
side in the early fall to get some of the
salmon that are often thrown upon the
banks when the run" is heavy.
II Bruin runs foul of . swarm Of mos
quitoes and has not his wits about him
his day has come. The insects will
alight all over him. His fur protects his
oody, but his eyes, ears and nose will
soon be swollen up and bleeding. and
unless he gets into river or strong
wind he will be driven mad and blind,
to wander about hopelessly until he
starves to death.
Although the Alaska summer is short,
two broods of mosquitoes hatch out
each year and are ready for business
from one to ten seconds after they leave
The water. 1t rains good deal along
,he Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for
It drives the mosquitoes to cover. They
aide under leaves and branches until
the shower is over; then they come out
boiling with rage at the time they have
been forced to spend in idleness, and
the miner has harder time than ever
after his respite.
Mosquitoes and snowflakes are not
contemporaries in tho states, but in
Alaska it is different. Snow does not
bother them so much as rain, and an
early snow may fall while they are still
on the wing. Fog does not choke them,
either. They appear to like it. They
float about in it az in ambush, and take
the unwary prospector by surprise.
