AMERICAS COLD WIVES.
How They StipuIate Activity in the
People.

Gilbert H. Grosvenor in Century
We Americans are always talking
about our mountains of gold and coal
and iron, of our fat fields of corn and
wheat, but few Of US ever realize that
we have in our climate a great advan-
tage over all other nations. IN the
cold wave which in summer AMI Win
ter so often sweeps across the land
and sends the thermometer tumbiing
20 degrees in almost as many minutes
we have a constant, a never diminish
ing asset Of priceless value. The wave
acts as a tonic, but. unlike any tonic
made by man, it carries no reaction.
No other land has cold waves like ours.
TO the cold dry air Of this periodic
Geld wave, which brings extraordinary
changes of temperature, we owe much
Of tine keen, alert mind, The incessant,
unrenlitting energy of our American
race.
When the amazed European asks
us what makes the sluggish mind OF
the immigrant to stir and waken IN
the United States, and then to climb
at first hesitatingly, but soon with
yigor and confidence, to the top round
III the ladder Of success, we are accus-
toned to reply, tits in the air. and
we are right. Tne spirit which fired
our fathers to cross the wide Atlantic
and which in less or equal degree
still animates the thousands annually
seeking our shores, is fed and famed
BY the cold winds from the northwest
Tie cold wave is born in the
heavens miles above our heads, usual
" over the Rocky mountain plateau
Suddenly mass of bitterly cold air
will tumble down upon Monta ~. 1t
rushes down as though poured through
an enormous funnel. AS it falls it
gains momentum, and reaching the
earth, spreads over the Mississippi val
ley and then ever the Atlantic states,
covering them like a blanket. 1t
scatteYs the foul, logy, breath-soaked
atmosphere in our towns and cities,
and puts ginger into the air. We Ill
our lungs with it and live. New
waves are always coming, following
each other in regular procession like
the waves on a seashore.
1t is fitting, then, that meteorology,
the science Of the weather, should
be distinctly American product, and
that the people Of the United States
should have the best weather service
in the world. The United States gov
eminent spends $1,5OO,0O0 a year on
its weather bureau, which is more
money than all the governments OF
Europe combined spend for similar
service. 1t has a staff Of many hundred
skilled experts and trained observers
VINO in all parts Of the country are
constantly on the watch to see what
the heavens will bring forth.

Babu Horse Enallsh.

Here is a Bombay native students
essay on the horse:
The horse is a very noble quadru.
ped, but when he is angry he will not
do so. He is ridden on the spinal
cord by the bride. and sadly the
driver place his foots on the stirrup.
and drives his lower limbs across the
saddle. and drives his animal to the
meadow. He has a long mouth. ard
his head is attached TO the trunk by
a long protuberance called the neck.
He has four legs. two are in the front
side and two are afterward. These
are the weapons on which he runs.
he also defends himself by extending
those in the rear in a parallel direc.
ton toward his foe. but this he does
only when in vexatious mood. His
flooding is generally grasses and
grains. He is also useful to take on
his back man OF woman as well as
some cargo. He has power 20 run as
fast as he could. He has got 10 sleep
at night time, and always standing

short sizes. They do the same as the
others are generally doing. There IL

practice on a certain occasion. thought
he would assuredly defeat II by order
ing that all the legs of mutton sent in
by the butchers should have the tails
attached. The Greek contractor smiled
knowingly, but promised compliance,
and for the next few days every Joint
was delivered in the manner required.
The quality Of the meat. however, did
not improve; on the contrary. II had
a more "goaty" favor than ever, and
loud and bitter we're the complaints
OF its consumers. Al last the mystery
was solved One day. when the in.
specting officer picked up leg OF
mutton TO weigh II, the Joint fell to the
ground leaving the tail in his hand
