Thunderstorm.

Do not imagine that because heavy
thunderstorm is far away to leeward
it is not likely to arise and wet you.
Even If the wind is blowing right
against the cloud it will come your way
all the more surely, for thunderstorms
always travel against the wind.
The reason for this is that there is
invariably a countercqrrent OF air
above the breeze that you feel close to
the earth, and this sky high wind blows
in the opposite direction to the one
which alone you can detect. Thus the
tempest seems to work it's way right
through the winds eyes in very con-
trary sort of way.
Fog never does this; neither does
ordinary rain-at least very seldom
but snow or sleet some time works its
way up wind just as the tempest does.
Sheet lightning, by the way, is not a
distinctive sort of light, but merely the
reflection in the sky Of a forked flash
many miles away. You can tell how
far away tempest is by counting the
number Of seconds that pass between
the flash and the peal. Each second
stands for about mile.-New York
Herald.

DEAFNEss CANNOT CURED

BY local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by cOnstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachain Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by eatarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

All on Account Of the Deacon.

"There's another war on between
Closer and Pinchem.
"No? what's the matter this timer"
"Of course you know they hate each
other. Been rivals in business and So
'ciety for years Long ago both wanted
to marry the same girl, and neither got
her. Each blames the other for that.
Mention Closer to Pinchem and he
wants to fight. Mention Pinchem to
Closer and he'll swear in the richest
vocabulary profane man ever accumu-
lated
deacon Worthy was the occasion Of
the most recent rupture, He was raising
money for some good purpose and went
to Closer, who headed the list with
$500 under positive agreement that
$500 Of the amount was to be immedi-
ately handed back to him. When the
deacon went to Pinchem, there were
red splotches on the moon. He denounc-
ed Closer as miser and shark. The
idea of his having subscribed but $500
to such a cause was dlsgraceful. Pinch
EN- put down $500 and generously told
the deacon to call on him If more were
needed.
"When Closer saw the list again, he
was tickled into coughing fit and had
word conveyed to Pinohem Of his agree
ment with the deacon. They thought
for time that they'd have to put Pinch
EN- in a straitjacket. The names he
called Closer would keep stenographer
busy for week. They reached Closer,
and now there is to be slander suit.
Each has vowed to whip the other on
sight, and it is better than circus to
see how they dodge each other in their
daily walks. The deacon only smiles
while he deplores the fact that any bad
feeling was created -

'REBS" ARE CRUEL
Shocking Treatment of
Prisoners on LuzOn.
insurgents Hold Bloody Carnival.
Broke all PromIses-ChInese
as Good SamarItanS.

The Manila correspondent of the
HongkOng Press gives details OF the
shocking treatment Of friars and other
prisoners captured by insurgents in
the northern part of the island of Lu-
zon. Gen. Leybe, who was sent by
Aguinaldo TO attack the cities in the
extreme north of Luzon, sent a report
to his chief that he had brought the
entire section raided completely under
the control OF the FilipinOS. beybe
also mentions in his report the cap
ture OF 124 friars and lay brothers,
many Spanish soldiers, with their arms
and property, and silver and gold val
ued at $4,000
The Press correspondent states that
from Spanish sources have come re-
ports of terrible atrocities committed
by the rebels. The inhabitants of the
towns of Cagayan and Apairi and other
places, in the absence of Spanish
troops, relied upon the promises Of
the insurgent chiefs that the lives and
property Of persons of all classes would
be respected. When the conQuerors
marched in they We're received with
music and the pealing of bells. The
invaders proved perfidious. They loot
ed the churches and robbed Spanish
civil and military authorities.
The Bishop was subjected to the
grossest indignities He was slapped
in the face, beaten, subjected to shame
less insults, and despoiled of his cler-
zeal robes. The friars were beaten
with sticks, kicked and hung up in the
tOrrid sun for several hours. The ma
tives were forbidden to render the
friars any assistance. During their
greatest sufferings, while hanging
hungry and naked in the broiling sun,
Chinese and natives furtively supplied
them with food and water.
One aged friar was placed upon a
horses saddle and jumped upon until
blood poured from his mouth and nose.
Another, it is said, was clothed only
in rain coat carried in triumph for
200 yards, then cudgeled to death mid
savage cries. Nuns in the convent
were subjected to shameless treatment.

CUBAN CONTROL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Maj. Gen.
Brooke arrived in Washington from
Fortress Monroe today and was clos
eted for more than an hour in con-
sultation with Secretary Alger. He
then, in company with Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin, proceeded to the White
House, and when he returned to the
War Department it was formally an
nounced that the President had des-
ignated him to be military governor OF
the island of Cuba, a new post, which
carries with it control over the mill
tary and civil branches of the island
formerly exercised by the Captain Gen
eral under the Spanish regime.
Each of the six provinces will have
it's own military governor, just as
Gen. Wood is now military governor OF
the province of Santiago, but all OF
these will receive their instructions
directly from Maj. Gen. Brooke, who
is in supreme authority on the island.
Thus, in Havana, Gen. Ludlow, who
will be governor Of the city, will be
answerable to Gen. Lee, the governor
OF the province of Havana, who in turn
will be answerable to Maj. Gen.
Brooke, the governor of the island.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

l chose him out from all the rest
My Tom-he had three lovely brothers,
But-Well, he seemed TO like me best
OF all the girls. Oh, there were others
That wanted him, but somehow he,
Right from the first, kept after me.
He was SO splendid! Big and kind
And calm and full Of mischief very.
A romp seemed always to his mind,
While 1 was rather prim than merry,
Yet when he was my own I felt
How fond a lover near me dwelt.
Alas, there came a time of change!
He cared no more for home nor quiet:
His moods were reckless, wild and
strange;
Night after night he spent in riot,
Returning when the dawnlight came,
Quite needless of reproach or blame.
And so it went till months were past.
1 was too proud to bang or beat him
Or pull his whiskers, yet at last
He left me. Now 1 sometimes meet
him;
He has grown ugly, old and fat
My handsome Maltese ThomGs cat!

THE sMoOTHEsT TRAIN IN THE

UNITED STATES.
On Sunday, November 20, the Bur
lington Route made a radical change in
the schedule of the Chicago Special, its
finest and fastest Denver-Chicago train.
Heretofore, this train has left Denver
in the morning-immediately after the
arrival of D. & r. G. and Colorado Mid
land trains from the west. 1t now
leaves at $40 p. m, arriving at Omaha
in time for breakfast next morning, and
at Chicago at S:15 p. IN. the same day.
In other words, it run 1,046 miles in
291a hours-an average rate of speed of
about &c miles an hour. There are not
half a dozen long-distance trains in the
United States which are scheduled fast
er than 36 miles an hour. And there is
not one-not a single one-which has as
good a record as the Chicago Special
for being ION time all the time"
The equipment of the Chicago Special
consists of one sleeping car, one din
ing car, one library and two
chair airs. The cars are of the
newest design, and have been
in service less than six months.
All of them have the new wide vesti-
bule, and are lighted with Pintsch gas.
The sleeper is upholstered in peacock
blue, and contains twelve sections and
a drawing-room. The toilet rooms are
unusually roomy-a circumstance to
l which r,,1,oh af tLo +,at,,, ,ooo-1a,;4,, L.
due.
In each of the two reclining chair
cars are seats for Sc persons, ladies' and
g~entlemen's toilet-rooms with soap,
marble wash-basins, comb, brush,
towels, and al abundance of water,
both hot and cold), and a smoking-room
upholstered in leather.
OF the eleven d%ining-cars operated by
the Burlington Route, none is finer than
that on the Chicago Special. 1t is as
bright as a new pin. The linen is. spot
lessly clean, the service is prompt, and
on every table is a gorgeous bouquet of
American Beauty roses, one of which
the waiter affixes to your coat when you
have finished YOU meal. Best of all,
the a-la-carte plan prevails-you only
pay for what you order.
The library car is the mems favorite
retreat. 1t is a veritable clubhouse on
wheels, a place where comfort reigns
supreme, and where the necessity for
exerting ones self is reduced to d min
imum. If you want anything-today's
paper, the monthly magazines, a cigar,
u bottle of apollinaris, or q pillow
press a button and the smiling attend.
ant brings it to you.
The Denver Republican calls the Chi
cage Special the "smoothest train in
the United States" The phrase de-
scribes it to a nicely. 1t is a smooth
train-inside and out. It's furnishings
are in admirable taste, and the track
over which it glides is perfection itself.
Fortunate is the traveller who goes east
on it. Kings fare no better when they
travel, than he.

Electric Lights In Mines.

The extending use Of electricity il
we'll illustrated by its use for lighting
mines. The candle or oil lamp Of for.
mel days was not only dangerous in
coal mines, where there is likelihood of
an explosion, but it furnished a very
imperfect light and compelled the miner
to work in semidarkness. Small electric
lamps, to be carried by the miners, were
introduced in France, but they were OBJ
~jectionable on account Of their weight
nearly five pounds-and also because
they would burn only few hours with
out being ~recharged. The lamps are
now attached to the roofs Of the gal.
%leries, currents being established by
means Of wires. BY this means an abun.
dance of continuous light is obtained, but
care must be exercised in insulating the
wires to prevent friction or sparks
which might provoke an explosion or
ignite surrounding woodwork. -Argo'

Change Doctors-A Woman's Rule.

Change DOctOrs-A WOman's Rule.
The following was overheard in a
street cara woman was talking to
one who had told her troubles:
"Talking about doctors, do you know
! think a great many deaths might be
prevented by changing doctors? If II
doctor cannot relieve you in three or
four days. or perhaps a week, he can.
not cure you at all, and the best thing
to do under the circumstances is to dis
miss him and take another doctor. If
be does not help you, change again, and
keep changing until you find a doctor
who can cure you.
EVERY doctor has some speciality,
although he does not say SO. One might
be a splendid throat specialist, while
on a severe attack Of pneumonia he
would scarcely know what to do.
Change is my rule for doctors, and I
never let the same doctor treat me for
more than a week at time. st. Louis
