A LITTLE BIIZZARD.

That March Is one of the most treach- erous and uncertain of months was full ly exemplifed yesterday morning when snow began to fall, and continued to fall all day, much to the disgust of many who had already made up their minds that gloomy winter was noo ava" and that Spring, beautiful spring" had come to stay. The snow fell lightly at first, and many were in the hope that as the day advanced the weather would clear. But 1t was the reverse, for as the day heightened so the storm heightened, and the few fiut-i ters of beautiful snow which began in modest way to fall increased in its weight, and the wind also kept increas- ing until 1t gained the velocity of twen- lty-f1ve miles an hour. This made mat ters pretty hot for pedestrians, and those who had to be out and around. The wind was cutting, and the snow and icy particles pelted against their faces in a most painful manner. Some people predicted that we were to have a ItD6llllOIl OL LtlC lCNbb bllNAcAh NllAS1l began March 12, 1888, and which caused so much trouble and suffering. The weather people say the weather will moderate, but only a very little. Snow prevailed generally from the upper Mis- sissippi valley eastward to the coast. Storm signals was displayed, all along the coast and shipping was at a stand still.
 Both the steam and trolley roads took extra precautions to keep their lines clear in case the fall should be heavy one Up to the time of writing no ac- cident of serious nature had been re- ported, and both the steam and trolley cars have been kept running pretty well up to time.
 According to Horace Johnson we may look out for squalls from March 22 to 26 He says it is possible that the dis turbance may mean blizzard.
 At about il o'clock last night the storm abated.
 Street sprinkling was scheduled to begin yesterday,

Kirby & Son. e22 CHAPEL STREET.

CTS have 8 most ingenious way of con cealing their money, which is quite in keeping with the patient East Indians aptitude in cultivating new forms in his body. He is said to be able to make little pouch inside his throat by sus- pending in the tube leaden weight about the diameter of florin and half an inch thick, holding the head in a particular position for some time every dal and ''wagglingR the weight about. The weight is attached to a string about six Inches long, and prevented from going down the throat by knot in the end. This is slipped between the teeth. By altering the length of the string from time to time a pocket lang enough to hold fifteen rupees is finally created. The possessor of this odd safe" is able to take his money out
 much easier than those women who carry theirs in an inside skirt. It has the advantage of being impossible of discovery without the use of the Ront-
 gen rays, and difficult to rob because it
 is next to impossible to make man
 disgorge the contents against his will No one but an ingenious Hindoo would ever think of turning a bed into a pipe, but this is done in the jail. The bedstead for the prisoners are nothing more than elongated cubes of baked
 mud set up on edge in rows, like so many cakes of artificial ice On these are spread mattresses and blankets, until they form a fairly comfortable
 sleeping place. One convict dug hol- low near the head of his solid bedstead and then plastered it over, leaving two holes, one for the tobacco and the oth-
 CT for outhpiece. ith this odd pipe h would smoke after retiring, covering up the orifices with his mattress when the warder passed by and surreptltiously drawing a few whiffs when the latter
 was at the other end of the aisle. When
 the pipe was not in use it was hidden by thin crust of earth.
 Escape is comparatively difficult at l Montgomery, as the jail is in the cen ter of a desert in which runaway can be easily tracked. The system of hand ling the prisoners is so arranged that ten minutes after an alarm suffices to
 discover whether any one is missing or not, and if so, who it is. When any
 thing wrong is observed by a watch man he beats a gong. This is the sig nal for each warder to collect his gang of prisoners. He places them in secur- ity and counts them.
 On one occasion at evening roll-call, it was discovered that 8 man was miss ing. The gong was sounded immedi- ately. After re-checking the men two or three times it was remembered that certain man had been hanged that day and his name had not been crossed off. He had sunk beneath t he surface, like many aNother man does, leaving hardly a bubble to tell where he had sunk.
 Some prisoners nave escaped from the Montgomery jail, but all have been caught in the course of a few days. On one occasion three men gained free dom by means of a bamboo ladder and

ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Same years ago when the Leland Stanford University of California was subject to every Whim and caprice of Mrs. Jan Stanford, the wealthy widow of it's founder, Prof. Edward A. Ross was an instructor in the institution Ross had some radical ideos about mu- nicipal ownership momopolfes, finance and other debatable questions, and ex- pressed with perfect candor his opin- ion, notably in respect to specific cases like control of the street railways of San Francisco Mrs. Stanford was displeased and told Ross to''shut up or get out" Ross refused to keep quiet and was simply forced out of the uni verslty at the behest of Mrs. Stanford by the president of the institution. But fortunately for freedom of thought and speech, all institutions of learning in the country are not under petticoat government. Harvard, for example, is a college managed by men, for men and it's faculty took the opportunity to invite Professor Ross to lecture in that university in order to show Its disap- proval of the idea that a college can be made the plaything of the whims of a foolish woman. Professor Ross's ideas do not coincide with the trend of the teaching at Harvard, but the view was that academic freedom somewhere in the community for the expression of untrammelled opinion is worth saving even at the expense of hearing more or less nonsense,

SUGAR AND STARCH. Please the Palate, but Sometimes Play Hop With Digestion

Sugar and starch, as found in ordina- ry food are intended Ito supply energy and strength, keep up steam to drive the human machine, and this they do if properly digested.
 But when the digestive apparatus has had too much work crowded upon it, or when it becomes weakened from any cause, the food decays (there is no oth- CT word so expressive) in the stomach and intestines and not only produces gas to distend the stomach and crowd and weaken the heart, but promotes other disease conditions which develop into serious liver, stomach and solne- times heart trouble.
 It is important that the food present the sugar and starch to the stomach in such form that they may be readily digested and pass to the nerves and blood to energize the machine without overtaxing the organs.
 Grape Nuts food does this perfectly 1t is prepared by mechanical (not chemical) processes, similar to those through which food passes in the healthy human digestive machinery and is, when taken into the system -digested, soluble and easily assim- Hated. It is made of wheat and barley and as it comes from the package, is adapted and grateful to even the weak est stomach of adult or babe.
 A lady writes from WoonsOcket, R. l
 Grape Nuts" she says lis truly a wonderful food. have been practical 1y living upon it for the last four months, and l am stronger to-day both physically and mentally, than l have been before for years.
 For some 12 or 15 years l had lived on sweet and starchy foods until my digestive organs were almost worn out and I had been troubled for long time with nervous dyspepsia or indigestion in it's worst form. Everything l ate fernented and I belched gas from my stomach most of the time.
 My doctor advised me to try Grape Nuts and so I began using 1t three times a day, and it has done wonders for me. It has strengthened my mus cles, toned up my. nerves and rested my brain. The headaches that used td punish me have disappeared.
 q have gained strength to work ano power to think. Grape Nuts is worth more to me than all the medicine in the world.

family and he-self.) she who from some reason or other is obliged to lead a. single life is thought to be under the heaviest doom a woman can suffer. Hence follow the mothers anxiety ard earnest effort not to have her daughter lose the chance of marriage.
 The girl who has had hardly any ac- quaintance with young men has no rel sources from which to choose her hus- band. Even if she had opportunities for mingling with young men the choice must not be left to her, inexperienced mind. Her marriage is of vital conse- quence to her whole family-not alone to her own future happiness. There fore, as soon as the girl reaches severn teen or eighteen her parents begin to look around among their acquaintanceH to select suitable husband for her. From here and there number of mar riage proposals soon fly into the home. People known and unknown bring news of wouldbe husbands. One who most closely approaches the ideal ig singled out. Then tho daughter is asked for the first time if she will &C., l cept him. In many cases neither the parents nor the daughter have seen the would-be bridegroom, but very likely they have his lately taken picr ture. They may then thus gain some knowledge of the personal appearance but his character, past life, education and standing can be judged only from what they have heard from other peo- pie. How can the girl, although she is free to express her opinion, say yes or no without positive knowledge about the man? She usually admits that her parents choice is faultless, and assents dutifully to their wish. Happy is the girl who chances to know her future husband personally, and can avow her love for him from the be- ginning"

JAPANESE GIRLS AT HOME.

Their School Education Ended, Pre-
 parations for Married Life Begin.
 Miss Mitsu Okada, of Tokio, Japan, writes this home life of Japanese girls of marriageable age: The Japanese girl of seventeen to-day is just out of the high school Physically she is well developed and free from the weakness which used to characterize her through the overcareful protection of her elders But in affairs of life she is still ignor- antand inexperienced School educa- tion is finished, however, so the girl must marry-the sooner the better. Her life as daughter at home stands as period of waiting and preparation for the coming life of a homemaker.
 Within a few months after the girl leaves school she becomes an alto gether altered being. No trace of school girlishness remains about her. Her glossy, smooth, hair done in maid en style, with silver ornaments; her soft, low voice; her gentle, graceful movements she is miraclewr ought by the hand of her devoted mother. Girlish simplicity and artlessness have given place to maidenly coyness and new charm. The parts which she at home are numerous and important. As grown-up sister she looks after, the needs of her younger brothers and sisters, presides over their homee les sions and helps in their play Overseer of the servants, she is taught to give orders to food dealers, to keep house hold acounts,i to help in eokinog and housecleaning. As mothers deputy she writes letters and entertains call CTS. In addition, she has the care of the parlors, does more or less of gardening, and sews a great deal. In stead of studying textbooks now she spends her leisure hours in reading the daily papers, and often novels.
 This mothers helper and children's companion has, however, but little out ing pleasure. Invitations to social en- tertainments are seldom extended to women and girls. The highly cultur- , ed family is carefully kept away from the theatre. 'Yose, or concerts of na- tive music, are considered undesir- able places for a girl to frequent. Her pleasure, therefore, may be said to be confined to occasional visits to her friends, birthday parties, garden par ties and flower fetes. Even upon these occurrences she seldom has the com pany of young men to give variety and tone to the conversation.
 "Yet every one in Japan-man and woman-is expected to marry. It is considered duty, heaven-owed. And the ordinary fate of a girl is to go out from her home in marriage. She isr i'm pressed from early youth with the idea that the home where she was born is temporal one, and that she will have to leave it sooner or later (She is never

Various oth- CT articles belonging to the same off eial were found on the others. The luckless official had lain down with the other members of the tracking party for the night at well. While there the convicts had come up to get a dring and carried off his clothing. All of which would make a subject for a story by Rudyard Kipling.
