MISSISSIPPI VERY DUSTY.
sticky .aRerticles seem tosAEase' frosa
the water and Are Waited About
$50. BY the Winds.

''The Mississippi river is the busiest
road in the whole country" said q
man who, according to the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, travels on the
river q great deal, land if you don't
believe it put on white shirt some
time and make a cruise up the river
q few hundred miles.
II was reading an article some
time ago about the dust of the sea,
and from the description given of the
fine, dry sediment which falls from
the damp mist of the sea am in
clined to think that the deposit is
not in It with the dust of the Mis-
sissippi. The water of the river is
chargedwith fine particles. The
heavy particles in the water do not
leave the surface except to sink at
some peint where an obstruction di-
verts the current and causes tenn
porary poise.
These formations are due Alto
gether to the resistance encountered
by hescurrents Of the river Mind
you, the heavier articles2of the river
figure in these formations. The
lighter particles, and the kind have
in mind at this time, form a sort
of river dust, which is waited here
and there by the winds which sweep
the stream. rs
II nave heard great many men
advance the idea that this dust was
blown from the sandbars and banks
of the river during the dry season.
But there is nothing in this claim
which will explain satisfactorily the
constant settling sof dust on the
boats plying the Mississippi. It blows
into the cabin, settles son the deck
and other exposed portions Of the
boat, and is just like any other kind
of dust which one may find in an pr.
binary road during a dry season.
There is this difference, that it is
possibly not SO. dry, and hence has
a greater cohesive power. /. It sticks
to the thing it falls on.
There are, in. my judgment, two
ways of getting the fne particles
out of the water. They may rise with
the mist of the morning, and when
the sun dries and dissipates the mist

Perils of . washerwoman.

In this country in 1898 at least q
dozen deaths were reported of women
struck in the act of stripping clothes
from wire clothesline. If the wash is
hung on one of these clotheslines it
is safer to let it get wet than to try
to save it from quick shower. There
are perils in being too conscientious
a washerwoman. - Leslie's Popular
