popular among the farmers. because it
predicted the weather a wear i'm advance.

Where 1t Is Really Cold.

y recent Siberian traveller relates:
At Sadonsk in the intensely cold nights
the silence is sometimes broken by a loud
report as of Il cannon. This was the
bursting of one of the ice bubbles in the
river, phenomenon had neither heard
or read of before. The streams coming
down the hills were frozen ON the surface
some six to nine inches thick The
water beneath flowed fuStcr than ii could
escape, and the pressure, ON the primci-
pal oi a hydraulic press, became irrcsisr-
ibIc. First, the elasticity of the ice was
seen by the rising of circular mounds
from six 10 eight feet in diameter aad
from four 10 five feet high. The burst
ing point came at last with report like
AN explosion. The water escaped. hat

Linoleum should never be touched
with either soap on Il scrubbing brush.
Have it woll wiped over with soft
flannel cloth aud warm water. drying
it carefully with another clean cloth.
Skim milk Is also a very good thing to
wash it with, as it gives it the gloss
you wish for. The great rule is to
wash linoleum as seldom as possible
unless you use skim or sour milk for
the purpose, and every now and then
polish it with linseed oil or occasion
ally with bceswax and turpentine
furniture polish. Kept in this way it
will both look nicer and wear infinite
ly better, for scrubbing wears it out

VuIgarity and Slang.

Of the use of the much discussed
words, lady" and gentleman, Pro
lessor Peck of Columbia University says,
The general distinction, stated broadly,
will allow frccr use of lady than of
gentleman. One seldom needs To use
the latter word. whereas the former il at
times quite necessary in order to avoid
shade of ambiguity which might be more
or less embarrassing. Thus, when u lady
says that she was lunching with "a man,
the assumption is always made that the
person in question is gentleman:
whereas, if Il man saws that he was
lunching with "a woman. there is a dam
gcrous little implication which would not
exist did he use the word lady instead.
The word gentlcmanly" also comes in
tor bit of calculation. lnaSmuCh os it
means like Il gentleman, the uucom-
piimcntary inference may Ice drawn that
the man To whom il i applied i not a
gentleman, but merely bears a rcscm-
b!ancc to one. As regards slang. his

HARRIsoN's VENEZUELAN FEE.
Not Believed the revolution viii

Not Believed the Revolution Will
Affect the Obligation.
Washington. Oct. 1o-There has been
some talk of the possibility of ex-
President Harrison losing his fee for
S25o,oo0 in the Venezuelan case should
the revolution i'm Venezuela result in
the overthrow of the government by
which he was employed. The success
of the revolution is nov an impossible
ty, and, i'm some of these small repub-
lies, the private obligations of the de-
funct government are not always re-
garded.
With reference to the apprehension
thta has been expressed on this score,
state department officials are of the
opinion that there is not likely to be
any difficulty about Mr.. Harrison col
Letting whatever has been promised
him from any government that may
be in power in Venezuela. They say
that any element in power probably
would regard this as debt of
honor, and that the fact alone that Mr..
Harrison was formerly the chief e&-
ecuti"e of the United States, which Sc
cured for Venezuela the recognition
of her rights, would be sufficient to in
sure him fair treatment under all cir
cnmstances. There would be no doubt
OF the obligation of a new government
to pay this debt of the old should the
revolution succeed; yet should the OBJ
legation be repudiated it would be a
departure from custom for the United
States government to attempt to COM
pei its payment by force. In cases of
torts committed, Uncle Sam might
even go to war to compel settlement
of damages, but no extreme measures
are regarded as warranted in the col
lection of mere debts under private
contracts. Therefore, should eN-Presi.
dent Harrison, by any possibility, have
trouble about collecting his fee, this
government could not compel its pay.

Manila Correspondents Now Send
What They Please.
New York, Oct. IA Washington
special says:
Censorship on press dispatches to
and from Manila. has been abolished.
This announcement was made ut the
war department. yesterday. 1t followed
an expression of feeling by the naval
officers on duty here ut what they
thought ali inadequate report in the
press dispatches of the part played by
the marines. in the military operations
of Sunday, 1t being charged that Gem
oral Otis jealous blue pencil was again
mt work: When this matter was
brought to the attention Of Adjutant
General Corbin he stated that no CEN
sorship of press dispatches has exist-
ed since September 9, and that CORE
spondents in the Philippines are now
allowed to send any information they
desire Undoubtedly the Ground robin"
protest of the correspondents, pub
lished in July, was largely responsible
for the removal of the censorship.
The authorities have insisted that
no instructions have been sent to Gem
eral Otis looking to its removal. 1t is
stated that the first suggestion came
from General Otis on July 26, eight
days after the correspondence protest
became public. If General Otis had
no instructions it is evident that he
feared that the effect of the protest
would be bad, and promptly advised
Secretary Alger that the censorship
should be abolished. General Alger
took no action, in view of his early
retirement from the cabinet, but Sec
rotary Root, after some Geographic
correspondence with General Otis. al
lowed him to remove the censorship.
Under the present arrangements at
Manila correspondents are required to
file Il copy of each dispatch they send
at army headquarters as part of
General OTIS records and for purposes
of reference. should any objection be
raised to matter cabled. 1t is said that
this is now the only condition imposed.
1t had been intended that the COR
respondents Mt Manila should find out
for themselves thnt the censorship had
been removed, and the admission yes
terday was premature. But for the re-
moval of the censorship it is possible
that no mention of the work done by
the marines in the operations Sunday
would have been allowed to come from
Manila by cable.
Acting Secretary Allen has ordered
the cruiser Newark to the Philippines.
She is now fitting out at Mare island.
Captain McCalla, who did such good
work. at Guantanamo, is in command
of her. The auxiliary cruiser Badger
will require fifteen days repairs. The
gunboat Bancroft is practically ready,
and will be speedily put in commits
sion. The Nashville has arrived at San
Juan, where she Is taking coal aboard.
The New Orleans is on her way to New
York to be repaired. The Brooklyn
