Charm of the ps.srt

You often hear from car window OBJ
servers of the "dreary" desert, the
hopeless" the "cheerless" desert.
But the desert deserves none of these
adjectives. 1t is dreadful, II you wish
in the way in which 1t nunishes the
ignorance and presumption of those
who know not the signs of thirst; it
is sometimes awful in its passions
of dust. torrents, heat; It is even mon
otonous to those who love only the
life of crowded cities; but 1t Is never
dreary or cheerless. Hopeless- ess
may well apply to the deserts Of M:,l-
berry street and Smoky hollow, with
their foul odors. their swarms of
crowded and hideons human life; but
the desert Of the arid land is eternally
hopeful, smiling. strong, rejoicing in
itself, says a writer in the Century.
The desert is never morbid in its ad-
versity, on the other hand, 1t is calm
and sweet and clean-tne cleahest Of
all land. Not till man comes. bringing
his ugly mining towns and his de-
.structive herds, does 1t bear even the
vestige OF the unclean, the dreary,
the unpicturesque.

Lightning Never Strike. Water.

ments electric sparks six feet IN
length and of high electromotive
force, resembling lightning as closely
as possible. his object being to vola.
tilize water for the purpose Of obtain.
ing water-vapor spectrum. He
found. however. that the surface
sparks would never strike the sur
face of the water. but passed to the
edge Of the vessel containing 1t. He
found 1t also extremely difficult to
pass spark from one stream Of
water to another. From all this he
draws the interesting conclusion that
lightning discharges can hardly be
supposed to pass through regions of

Senator Manderson's Story at Ban.

AZ the dinner given in honor of Gen.

club, Senator Henderson created the
main diversion by telling the follow
ing story:
There was once Connecticut
farmer who went up into Maine and
captured young bull moose. When
he got 1t home he instinctively sought
to make 1t source of revenue. He
built fence and put a tent over it
and hung out sign explaining the
rarity Of the animal and advertising
single admissions, 10 cents; families,
20. There came along a long, lean,
ianky hill farmer, with a woman and
twelve children behind him, and offer.
ed a quarter at the door.
Looky here said the Snowman.
Wait a bit. Is this all one family?
Are these all yours?'
They be- said the lanky one.
This be my wife, my only wife, and
these be my children, all twelve of
them.'
"The Snowman handed back the
quarter.
Pass in, my friend he said ear
nestly, pass in. It is far more i'm
portant that the bull moose should
see you than that you should see the
bull moose
Now" concluded the senator, "it
strikes me as far more important that
this club should be entertained by
Gen. Porter than than Gen. Porter
should be entertained by this club"

The congressman had no sooner pulled

wide open and a tall. husky woman
appeared. She never said a word, but
grabbed the young man by the collar
and shook him till she fairly loosened
his teeth; then into the hall she took
him and slammed the door.
The congressman was descending
the steps when the door was thrown
open second time and his friend flew
out of it as if thrown from a cata-

up. Very much frightened and con-

The Coming Man..

Professor Brunor makes q startling
prediction as to human development.
He sees in the future man a being in
whom strange transformations shall
have taken place; being in whom
brain is master, ruling a body much
larger than that of the present man;
body which has lost its floating ribs,
its vermiform appendix and its little
toes, and in which many other changes
have taken place. He believes the
chest and upper and lower limbs will
be much larger and that the future
man will be much taller than his proto-
type of to-day.-London Globe.
