The present method OF getting money

WORST WIND OF WORLD.
Blows Through the Straits of Magel-
Ian and South Temperate
Regions.

"What is the worst wind of the
world?" said the captain of u
trading ship that, according to
the st. Paul Globe, pokes her nose
in almost every spot of the world
during her curious wanderings.
"Well, I'll tell you first of other
winds, so as to lead up to it ar
tistically. Eve been through d
kamtschatka, which is what they
call the storms of that country,
and Pve seen it blow drifts 80
feet high in an hour | put in
three days in typhoOn, which is
the great grandfather of all the
hurricanes. 1t blew every sail out
of the bOlt-ropes and swept the
deck so clean that it looked as if
it had been scraped. Down in st.
Vincent, in the West Indies, / lay
on the beach during a West In
dian hurricane, the black storm
that sweeps over the Caribbean,
and l had to dig my hands into
the earth to hold tight.
but worse than all these is the
wind that they call the woolly, or
the willy, or the willy willy, ac-
cording to locality. You get it at
its best in the Straits of Magellan,
but a great part of the country
around the southern end of the
south temperate regions enjoys
its blessings.

cHINAmAN BECAME "YAP."
In Order to Go Ashore John Declared
himself a Subject Of the
Mikado.

None of the shipping men ever
knew the real name of the cook of
the bark Matanzas, but he was "A
Chinaman, and after the manner
of his kind he cheerfully answered
to the name of John, relates the
Philadelphia Record. The Matan,
zas for years has been bringing
mOlasses to this port, but John
was never seen ashore. He was
told that the Chinese immigration
law prevented him from landing,
so he stuck close to his galley,
cOntenting himself with feasting
his eyes on the Delaware avenue
docks. The stevedores who came
aboard the MatanZas used to joke
with him and tell him marvellous
stories about the life ashore, but
John would merely reply: "Me
Chinee. Me no CO." One day John
was seen making tracks away
from the docks. Hello, John.
Where are you going?" asked an
old friend. And mimicking the
Chinaman's accent he shook his
finger warningly aud added: Re
member, YOU Chinee; you no go
John smiled the bland, childish
smile that has made his race IA
nous. Me no Chinee no mo-; me
Zap" he said. And in very truth
he looked like one of the mika-
dos heroes. He had shaved off
his queue and donned American
attire, and a stringlike mustache
adorned his upper lip. And SO he
started off to see the town.

Gravitation and Electricity.

The idea that gravitation is
electrical in its nature has several
times been advanced. and now DIR.
Bergen Davis, of Columbia uni
yersity, reaches a similar conclu-
sion by a mathematical examina-
ton of the relatiOn between the
gravitatiOnal constant and the
constants of the ether His results
not only suggest that matter is
electrical in constitution, as other
lines of inquiry have indicated,
but also that gravitational force
is the same in kind if not in degree
with electrical forces, and that
they act in a common medium

GREAT FEATs OF MEMORY.
London Youth of Long Ago Who Re-
membered All He Had
Ever Read.

The London Times recently pub
lished an extract from its col
umns of a century ago in which
were related the remarkable feats
of memory performed by T. p.
Oldfield, who died at Grotto house,
Margate, in the sixteenth year of
his age. The extract reads:
AT the age of five and one-half
years he had scarlet fever, which
brought on him paralysis of the
lower extremities and debilitated
his body for the rest of his life,
but his mind presented the finest
display of human perfection.
"Whatever he read he instantly
had by heart; his fayorite pur-
suits were the mathematics, phi.
losophy, astronomy, geography,
history and painting, in all of
which he made a great proficiency.
His favorite authors were Locke
and Newton, and his retentive
faculties were so strong that he
never forgot a single incident with
which he had been once ac-
quainted.
"He could relate every circum-
stance of Grecian, Roman and
English history; was master OF
astronomy, and had pursued it up
to all its recent discoveries; had
the finest taste for drawing and
painting and would frequently
take admirable liSenesses of per
sons who struck him from mem
DRY. He wrote a hand like copper
plate and at a very early period
in life had made himself master
of arithmetic.
HE was never known to be out
of temper, and though he suffered
an illness of ten years, which ter.
minated in n dropsx and burs ting
of a blood vessel upon the lungs,
he was never once known to repine
or be inpatient. His wit was
brilliant and refined and his loss
will ever be regretted by those
who had the happiness to know
him"

Farewell Meeting.

At recent NEE ting of the
Minister $ Association of the city
it was unanimously decided to
hold a union meeting at the
Methodist church on next Sab
bath evening. In view of the
faithful service of Rev. Mr..
Lewis and the warm regard in
which he is held by the entire
community, it is appropriate that
this public expression be made.
The sermon will be preached
by Mr.. Lewis and a word of God
speed will be spoken by Mr.. Og-
den. The place will be the Meth
odist church and the time 7:3C
Sabbath evening.

Double Wedding.

The marriage Of Miss Nettie
Chisholm to Mr.. J. b. Coleman
and Miss Mary Chisholm to Mr.
w. 9. Clary viii take place at the
home of the brides in Birming
ham. Ala, at 7:30 O'Clock. Nov.
Both. They will leave at once
for Colum bus, Miss, where they
will be rendered a reception by
Mrs. Trice Johnson. They will
then repair to their lovely little
cottage where everything is
tastefully arranged for their flu
ture abode. They will be at
home to their friends on the LIST.
Messrs. Coleman and Clary are
two of our most worthy, moral
and enterprising young men.
We heartily congratulate them
upon winning such priceless jew
els. The Misses ChishOlms are
two of Birmingham s most est
mable young ladies. We well
come them to our city and trust
their marital bliss will never
wane. Messrs. Coleman and
Clary have been inseparable for
years, strange to relate they are
to marry sisters and launch their
matrimonial boat jointly on the
sea of life. May it never be tur-
bulent, but glide smoothly on
until death do them part.
