AN EARTHQUAKE SCIENTIST.
Tommy Had Found tho Almanac In tho
Garret.

Garret.
This occurred just before the last
full moon at a pretty residence on
Trumbull avenue, says the Detroit Free
Press. The head of the house is of a
scientific turn of mind, loves to inves-
tigate the phenomena of nature and
takes it as part Of his duty to impart
his knowledge to the rest of the fam
lily. On the night in question he found
an almanac on the table, which he
reads. Turning the leaves carelessly
while thinking about going to bed, he
was surprised to come upon the in
formation that there was to be an
almost total eclipse of the moon that
night, and that it would be visible
from this part of the globe at 1 a. m.
In his excitement he was about to call
the rest of the folks, who had retired.
but on second thought he hunted up
broken bits of glass and went to
smoking them, just as though it were
the blazing sun which was to be
viewed This done he watched the
clock vigilantly until it was time to
wake the others. They had none of
his enthusiasm, but went yawning and
shivering to the back porch, from
which the best view was to be OBJ
tanned. The moon never looked bright
er than it did at o'clock. It must
be that the almanac meant 1 O'Clock
standard time, he explained nervously,
and for another half-hour he kept his
eyes glued on the silvery orb. Not a
spot darkened its surface. Ten min
utes later his wife mutinied and her
sleepy brood followed her into the
house, despite his protest He fol-
lowed them and again took up the al
manac. Found that in the attic to-
day. explained 6-year-old Tommy.
Slowly the father read aloud from the
back until he came to eighteen hum
dred and fif-" when he ripped the
book to fragments and began saying
things that caused the mother to rush
the children upstairs, 81

Two hundred thousand sheep now en-
route to the Uintah forest reservation
are to be turned back. Orders have
been received by Superintendent w.
T. 8. May of Denver, whose head
quarters are in that city, to proceed
Immediately to stop the movement
which Is now under way and which
threatens to obliterate the headwaters
of the principal streams of Utah. The
superintendent last evening tele-
graphed the local rangers, and to-day
the owners of the flocks will learn Of
the decision of the government. What
to do with the fiocks, where to drive
them, how to provide water and food
for the animals turned from their usual
ranges, are questions of profound i'm
portance to men who have their money
invested in sheep.
The ,Uintah reservation lis eighty
miles long and fifteen miles wide.
Heretofore flock owners Of Wyoming
and Utah have driven their sheep into
the reserve for summer range. Last
fall Colonel May, reported against the
practice, and the order of Commission
er Hermann is the result. Sheep are

An Incident.

By the time we had been a month
at sea, having applied myself assidu-
ously to work, l picked up a little
knowledge of seamanship. 1 took my

golden op' ions of those among whom
a rough turn of the wheel of fortune
had so strangely and SO suddenly cast
me.
Some days after leaving the Cana
ries we found ourselves passing
through what seemed to be immense
meadows of green stuff adrift. By
moonlight the branches, leaves and
fibers of this uprooted marine forest
for such it was, being wrack and sea-
weeds of wondrous length springing
from the lowest depths of the ocean

foaming eddies astern of the brig as

The sermon at 1890 this morning
showed from bible evidence the remnant

are that people.
The Lord will come some time. 1t il
possible for that to be in our time.
The coming Of the Lord cannot take
place until men are able by Scriptures
to show the time at hand, not the day
or hsur. Heb. HI.
The Advsntists highly appreciate the
kindness and the hospitality Of the peo-
pie Of this city aud will be pleased to

Kissing Heroes and Others.

The hero-kissing has reached its
lowest point Misguided women
have begun to hug General Shafter.
This ends the kissing business
forever. If Shafter is to be en-
braced no doubt there will be a
large rush to salute the not over
clean lips. of Eagan, the butcher
and grocer of the army who failed
so mlserably at his business.
This onslaught on Shafter shows
that the kissing movement is con-
Quoted by women who will kiss any
old thing provided it has a face
and couple Of lips. 1t indicates
the claim that the Hobsonizing that
made such a commotion a few weeks
ago was not based on distorted pat
rIotism at all, but on some thing
much less important. The women
hadn't cigar store Indian handy,
and so they kissed the nearest man.
Mr.. Hobson will feel very small
when lie learns that the women who
kissed him so frantically are con-
soling themselves during his alb
sence by throwing their arms
around the elephantine neck of the
man who during the numerous bat
ties of Santiagowas lying in a ham

A MEDIUM OF LOVE.
a Bashful Young Man Had to Pro-

OF all the bashful young men in
Detroit, the most bashful on record
lives in the northwestern part of
the city There is certain young
lady on whom his affections had
been conferred for two years, but
he could never screw his courage TO
the proposing point Time and
again he left home with a fixed de-
termination to put his fate to the
test, but his bravery all oozed out
when in her presence. After de-
feat had followed defeat he sat
down to write her, but language
fled from him. A quire of paper
and half night were wasted, leav-

late lover.
The next morning he took a
strong cup of coffee and further
braced his himself by throwing out
his chest, talking loud to the rest
of his family and telling them that
he had about decided to go intobus-
mess for himself Thus stimulated,
he went to the telephone, called her
up and made one of the most direct
proposals in all the varied annals
OF love. But before she could re-
ply he was seized with a horrible
fit of bashfulness and dropped the
receiver as though it were red hot
Twenty minutes later, when he
slipped back on tiptoe, to learn if
there might be any lingering echoes
on the wire, she was still scolding
the telephone girl because they had
been cut off.
