The Giant Cactus.

Of all strange plants the sahuaro,
or giant cactus, on account of it's
great size and striking aspect, is the
most impressive. We can we'll i'm
agine the feeling Of the early ex-
plo1ers when they first came in
sight Of these towering plants, so
abundant on the foothills contiguous
to Salt river valley and from where
they extend southwark far into Mex
leo. Tho finest and largest speci-
mems that l have ever observed are
growing only a few miles from Tue
son, on the foothills of the Santa
Catalina mountains, where hundreds
may be seen growing on a single
acre, many extending their huge
green columns to the height of SO
feet. The many ribs which parallel
the columns are surmounted by
punches of heavy spine. With great
age the spines fall away from the
lower portion Of the plant, leaving
the broad, obtuse ribs devoid Of their
natural protector. This fact led the
first observers to report the plant
spineless. j. W. Tourney in Popular
Science Monthly.

as an agrlculturist and incidentally
drawn a touching picture of his
farewell to the acres and the posses.

according to this ancient, loved
every tree and flower on the place.
He knew all the stock and could tell
the name of every animal upon the
farm. He was an enthusiastic
breeder and was fine judge Of
everything pertaining to farm life
and live stock, although he never
made a financial success of them
When the end came, and every one,
including himself, realized that he
had but few days more to live, he
ordered the relator OF this incident
to drive up to the farmhouse all the
stock two by two, ana there he re-
viewed them, passing his hand low
ingly over the smooth, glossy coats
and patting their tlanks affection

by, he turned with a sigh into the

The Stock Market.

New York, Dec. I.-The stock mark ct was strong to-day, particularly in the late trading. Fractional gains were general in the railways, while the ad- vantage in number of specialties reached considerable proportions. A curious exception to the general ad- vance was noticed in stocks where div idends have just been declared, namely, New York Central, Southern pref, and Atchison pref. In some quarters larg- CT dividends had been expected, and in the case of Southern pref and Atchison pref. a statement had been looked for ward to that they would be put on a regular dividend basis instead of dis bursements from time to time as the earnings warranted. A considerabl increase in its quartedly surplus was responsible for New York CentraTs rise from the extreme low point. The efforts of London traders to cover short lines in Americans gave tone to the To- cal market early. This was particular ly the case in Baltimore and Ohio,

Weather one Hundred Years Ago.

Weather predictions one hundred years ago and weather that actually occurred:
 The Farmers Almanac published in Boston for the year 179S, copy of which is before me, says, regarding the weather for December of that year, in it's predictions" column, as follows: From 1st to 4th day, some rain or snow with high winds;" 9th to 9th, chilly air" 10th, "squally;" 11th to 18th, pleasant sun and wholesome afr;'' 17th to 19, uncomfortable wea ther;" goth to Fist, "a little more moderator 22d to 18th, clouds up for a storm" 26th to S0th, with snow and wind the year doth end"
 Extracts from the diary of Mrs. Abiah Bellamy widow of Rev. Dr. Joseph Bellamy, the distinguished di- vine, for long time settled over a congregation in Bethlehem, Conn.,, which she wrote at her home in Ply mouth, Conn, during the month of De- cember, 179S, read as follows: Second-"It showed almost all day; absent from meeting;" 4th, Tt showed and was squally all day." 5th, "A very cold morning." sth, Tt showed all the afternoon" 9th, "It showed all day was absent from meeting;;" 10th, "cold" 7" 11th, Very cold, extreme cold;" 18th, Tt showed at eve;" 14th, Snow squall in ye eve;" 16th, "Very cold;" 18th, Tt snows;" 22d, "It, snowed;" 2Sd, Tt showed, was absent from meeting;;" 24th' Very cold" 18th, More moder- ate;" 26th, 'It rained in ye eve;" 27th, Tt is rainy;r 18th, Tt showed in ye night, and was stormy all day." 29th, ''It showed Saturday night In ob- serving the slight discrepancy between the prediction for the 11th to 16th day, and the reality, we are reminded of some of the experiences of the present day, but the "predictor' then seems to have hit it part of the time.

EDWARD G. MAsoN's DEATH.
A Tribute From President Dwight
 Short Sketch of His Life.

A Tribute From President Dwight
 Short Sketch of His Life.
 Yesterdays Yale Alumni Weekly contains the following:
 Tn the death of Edward G. Mason the Yale brotherhood has lost one of it's honored and gifted members-one who loved the university with deep and ever-abiding affection and one who was sincerely loved by a great company of friends. He was a graduate of the year 1860, and was thus moving into the circle of the older alumni. But he re- mained through all the years so vigor- ous and so youthful, that it was almost impossible to think of him as growing old. The inner life of the spirit was like the outer life of the physical man, full of the freshness and strength of young manhood. It was stirred by the enthusiasm and quickened by the in- spirations which belong to youth. We had peculiar pleasure in meeting him because he always carried our thoughts by his cheerful face and his hopeful words, back to the happy days of the past. Long years Of activity seemed to be surely awaiting him. and death oCCiliCu lcal iWay III tiIt Nio' o'diGS OA tiiS future. We shall always remember him as in the best and truest sense, young, with the glory of youth continuing to the end.
 He was man of vigorous mind, of high character, of abounding friendli- ness, of noble impulse. He was man of recognized ability and success in his profession, and was at the same time, in an unusual degree. man of culture outside of the limits of his special call ing. He was helper in good causes, most useful and honorable, as we'll as highly honored citizen, a devoted friend of learning and of the best interests of humanity.
 As a son of Yale he was ardent in his affection and faithful in his pur- pose. He had a kindly spirit, which prompted him to generous friendship toward the other sons of the good mother. He had also the strongest con- dence in the future of the university and the most earnest desire for it's prosperity As member of the corpor- ation, he was thoughtful for the best interests of the institution and ever ready to offer his counsel and to help his associates in their deliberations. He was a genuine Yale man, with much of the Yale spirit.
 The few words which I have written do not fully describe the man or give any adequate picture of his life. They cannot do this, because they are so few. But they may, I trust, take their place with other, and perchance more fitting words written by other friends; and 1 they will, at least, give expression to | the friendly regard and kindly remem- | brance which have at this hour, and shall bear with me in the future, as I think of this lovable and loving man | whom I am glad that I have known. Timothy Dwight. | Dec. 19, 1898.

 Horace Johnson, the weather prophet of Middle Haddam, writes the Hartford Post as follows:
 Here is a forecast of changes in the atmosphere to take place as follows: From the 18th to the 21st of the present month there will be a local disturbance of the atmosphere of little account. Christmas day will be fine for the sea- son. From the 18th to the 27th there will be an intermediate disturbance. h. dications favor southeast storm, like ly to be rain and high wind, possibly snow; if snow there will be fall of from six to eight inches. Such storm rages but a few hours. It will be fol- lowed by a cold wave that may contin- ue from thirty-slx to seventy-two hours. It cannot be long term. The next general disturbance will put in an ap- pearance from the Sd to the 7th of Jan uary. Prepare for zero weather. (My wood pile is in order. I am short in corned beeD."

which advanced very buoyantly locally. There were large purchases also Tor foreign account of St. Paul. Most stocks unaffected by special develop ments or foreign quotations were freely offered by the traders, but this caused little more than a period of hesitancy and a shading in railway quotations. Rumors that the Chicago and Alton had been secured in the interest Of Union Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio resulted in a sharp rise in all these se- curities. The Southern railroads were very prominent in to-day's activity and strength, notably Texas Pacific.
 The bond market showed irregularity in spots, profit taking being evident in Atchison adjustments. Heavy purchases of Texas Pacific 2s were made late in the day, which carried them above 49.
