a Great Storm Wave.

A great storm wave is peculiar to cy-
clones. At the center of the disturb
ance the mercury in good barometer
may be lower by three inches than that
in similar instrument on the verge
of the cyclone. This Is owing to the
d!minutiOn of atmospheric pressure
consequent on the rotation of the air
wheel, and as nature abhors a vacuum
the sea in the vortex rises above its
usual level until equilibrium is restor-
ed. This storm wave advances with
the hurricane and rolls in upon the low
land like Il solid wall. In the Backer-
gunge cyclone of 1876 the storm wave
covered the land at the eastern end of
the Gauges delta at heights varying
from ten to forty-five feet as measured
by marks on the trees. One hundred
thousand lives were lost on This occa-
sion.-Chambers' Journal.

They Found the Pail.

During spell of particularly hot
weather Il well known baronet came
across three workmen engaged on n
job on his estate. One of them remark
ed, as workmen not infrequently do,
on the dryness of the job. The heat
had perhaps extended itself to the bar
onet's temper. At any rate, he turned
away, with the reply: "lf you are
thirsty, YOU know where the well is.
You will find a pail there"
Thinking over his remark little lat
CT. it flashed across the baronet's mind
that he had given orders for three bot
ties of champagne to be put into the
pail and lowered into the well to cool
for dinner. He FASTENED to the well
and discovered - three empty bottles!

Modern Advertising.

A little over half a century ago Il
was considered beneath the dignity of
many substantial concerns to adver-
tise beyond the insertion In the news
papers OF an occasional business card
Some of the experiences of that time
show how recently advertising. as we
know 1t, has developed.
A retail hardware house in an east
ern city once found itself possessed of
ten times the number of articles of a
certain kind that 1t had intended to
buy. AS they had been ordered espe-
cially for new hotel and were of a Pc
culiar design, there seemed to be no
way of disposing of them except ut
merely nominal sum.
One of the younger men connected
with the concern offered to "move
them" at fair price provided he be
permitted to advertise. The sugges-
ton encountered much opposition, but
finally small sum was set apart to
carry 1t out. The advertisement was
drafted in an attractive way, and the
people soon began to buy the new arti-
Gle. Finally the house was obliged to
send to the manufacturers for more.
When the next seasons trade opened,
the member of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered to
the young man that he had better
write out few notices "and put them
in the papers"
From such beginnings the advertis-
ing practice has come. Thousands of
dollars are now spent not only in adj
vertising itself, but in devising clever
catch words, ingenious phrases and IL

memory Of the reader as we'll as new

Church Lights and
Social Leaders.

Every community, however small, has
its group of energetic women, who lead
and light the way in every local enter
prise. If it is charity, bazaar, a church
fair, or any other benevolent undertake
ing, they work day and night to make it
a success. They are not the women who
neglect their homes to serve the public.
They simply do double service. Many

Alpena, Mich, Nov. 12.-The cd
schooner Sweetheart is adrift in Lake
Huron, at the mercy of the northwest
gale, and all that prevents the vessel
and the eight men in the crew from
going to the bottom is bowlder stick

up when the vessel was ashore at the
entrance to Georgian bay few days
ago.
The Sweetheart was found off the
entrance to Georgian bay by the
Canadian steamer Armenia. The YES
sci was drifting helplessly about the
lake, and the captain said his vessel
had been ashore and HAD been re-
leased by the change of wind and a
rise in the water. The Armenia start

from the schooner. Grave fears are
expressed for the safety of the eight

lead to lawlessness or disrespect for
