The Night Wind.

ca. II. Schuman in the Boston Transcript
Through the black night the wild wind
howls and means
And shrieks out madly like thing in
pain
Strives with sharp gusts and sobs in pit
eous tones,
rain.
And now it Stimulates half-human sounds
Low, inarticulate utterances 81 gf1eG,
Hoarse mutterings of despair that know
no bounds,
And bursts of passion, vehement, frantic
brief.
1 shudder, safely housed, for them that
The perilous ocean when the storm is
Cruelty harassed by the frenzied gale,
And not a star to cheer them IN the
sky.
But with the morn rises the. golden sun
And shines upon peaceful, perfect
Smiles on the tempests harmless havoc
And on ship at ancher in the bay.

Excited.

Excitement is often the cause of strange
tesegrams. as we'll as other queer mani
festations, observes Tit-Bits.
a man who had been one of the pas
sengers on a shipwrecked vessel was res
cued almost by a miracle. On arriving at
a place from which he could send tele-
graphic message, he forwarded the follow
ing dispatch 10 his brother:
II am saved. Try to break it gently to
nv wife $50

Our morning contemporary says there
is something over $1,000, 600 in gold
in circulation in this country. But"
it adds, "of all the gold we presume
that not to exceed one-fourth or one
fifth is in the pockets of the people"
If it still adheres to it's old idea that
I'VE are the people" Marks generosity
is not to be discounted.

1t is alleged that prohibitory taxes
on commerce retards the development
of the country and thereby injure Brit
ish interests in the Transvaal If this
is a proper cause for war, foreign coun-
tries are entitled to make war upon
the United States, because of it's tariff
restrictions and prohibitions upon COM
merce. It is as much the right of the
Transvaal government to place bur-
dens upon certain industries. for the
benefit Of others, or to levy taxes in
restraint of trade as it was the right
of this republic to enact and enforce the
Dingley law.
The chief. argument of nearly all
American champions of British inva-
sion is that the OutIanders in the
Transvaal outnumber the Beers al
most two to one; that they are taxed
and refused representation. Under GER
tain conditions prescribed by the Boer
government the Outlanders would be
given the right of suffrage. This con-
cession has already been made. But
what do the English base this claim of
majority rule upon. 1t appeals to
Americans naturally. for they believe
in it and practice it. No government

cURIoSIT1Es OF COLDS.
Strange Things That Have BeeR No-
ticed by Explorers of the
Far North.

II is a remarkable fact that people
catch colds only when they are warm.
A correspondent says that there are
places where il is impossible to catch
a cold, simply because there are no
colds TO catch, and that these places,
singularly enough, are in the Arctic
regions. The explorer Nansen and his
men during the three years spent in
the Arctic never caught cold, though
they were constantly exposed to fa-
tigue and wet. and slept in wet gar
ments and went about all day with wet
feet. The moment they returned to
civilization they all caught cold. The
members of the Jackson -Harmsworth
Arctic expedition stayed three years in
Franz Josef land and never had a cold,
though wet feet was their "ehronic eX-
perience," and on one OCCASION six of
them were exposed to gale in boat
for three days and nights. all drenched
TO the skin, and. when they arrived on
land, had to remain in their wet clothes
and let them dry on their bodies With
but two exceptions they caught severe
colds as soon as they returned to civili-
1ation. Sir Martin Conway. while eX-
ploring Spitzbergen, with his four com
panons. was often wet through and
frequently slept in wet clothes. but
they never caught cold until they re-
turned TO the Andree settlement on
the coast. Wherever European settle
ments exist. there colds seem to de-
velop, and the writer says that the only
time the people living on The lonely isle
Of St. Kilda catch cold is when excursion
steamers land, bringing European
visitors. Then every inhabitant of the
island, ba bies included. is seized with a
cold; all of which. the writer says,
shows that cold is an infectious dis
ease prevalent only where civilized man
exists. This theory indicates that the
more the people coddle themselves the
more likely they are TO catch cold. and
that fresh, cool trr with good yentila-
lion is the best preventive of coughs
and colds.-London Spectator.

FOOD AND CIVILIZATION.
How one Has Aneetsd aad Changed
the Other-The Dinner
OF To-day.

Speaking generally, It may be said
that all the great races Of mankind have
adopted a great diet, and have drunk
wine as soon as they could afford TO Go
So Rome, Il is true, a according to Glib
bon, made many eonqwsts on a meager
diet and on cold water. but she rssdiiy
adopted a generous agriculture from
Carthage and the fruits and wines Of
the east. and she thrOse apon them-
As eating and drinking became finer
art, and as the subjects OF food were
more numerous. life became more re-
fined, manners more attractive. The
early and so-called heroic ages in every
nation appear to have been. as one
might suppose. ages ofveFy simple food.
The epic poet. product Of the earlier
age, should, said Greek writer, drink
water; the lyric poet. offspring Of a
later and softerage. must drink wine.
The evolution of mankind may per
haps be determined as certainly by the
criterion Of food as by any other. The
savage eats the same coarse and mo-
notonous fare for centuries, while civ
ilized man is perpetually discovering
and adopting new animal or vegetable
products.
AT every fruit SAop one is reminded
to-day of the fact that bananas and
tomatoes are new foods which we have
very wisely adopted, and which have be-
come as familiar and necessary TO us as
pears or plums, which we have had for
centuries. As with fruits, so with ar
ticles we see in large grocery store.
Half of these were almost unknown
even generation ago,
The dinner of to-day is as different
from that of the time, say, of DIR. John
son, as that was from the cuisine Of the
conquest. If life was rude and violent
in early communities, the kind Of food
eaten and the way of eating it made il
even more SO. How could one gorge on
oxen roasted whole, carving it up with
rude weapons, or even, like Falstaf, on
capons and an intolerablC deal of sack,
without being heavy, earthly and prob
ably, from our point Of view, noisy and
ill-bred? The fine manners of the Eliz-
abethan court are problematical; they
certainly would not pass muster now.
IN short, food is both an index Of the
civilization attained and factor in the
attainment.
A singular instance Of both is hffol d.
ed by the rapid growth of manners in
Russia, Less than two centuries ago
Peter the Great gnawed meat like a
wild beast and drank brandy like saw
age; to-day the elegant method Of din
ing la Russo has spread over the civ
ilized world.-Spectator
