Unusual Weather Conditions.

A fierce hurricane swept the
Caribbean Sea last week and did
great damages to shipping. And
almost at the same time a great
storm Of unusual severity played
havoc with human life and property
about the Florida Keys and along
the coast of Cuba and other islands
in its path. The unusual feature
in this is not the storm itself, storms
are not unexpected in the tropics at
this season of the year. but its
great severity.
Such might also be said of our
recent northern visitor, the storm
of wind, snow and sleet which for
several days of last week and the
first OF this has been raging and
racing southwark along the eastern
slope Of the Rocky Mountains, taxi
ing in its path all the plains States
down to and including Texas. 1t
was bad indeed up in Utah and Col
orado nor had it lost its rough edges
when it reached US. 1t was Feb
rurary weather in October and has
not happened before scince the year
1882, and may never occur again.
Lest someone might overestimate
this storms severity on the Plains
will say that the cold here in Can
yon City was just sufficient to con-
geal ice about / of an inch thick on
water in an open barrel or trough
there was no ice inside buildings.
The damages in this county were
small if anything at all outside Of
the general finish to garden truck.

Ansize Trumpetera.

Assize trumpeters, like men of other
callings, have their records, of which
they have good reason to be proud.
The most famous Of them, says the
Liverpool Post, has probably been Har-
~ Rowe of Nottingham. Rowe was
born in 1928 and was for time trum-
peter in the Duke of Kingston's light
horse, in which capacity he took part
in the fight at Culloden.. After his
military service was over Rowe set
tied In York and had the good fortune
to be chosen as trumpeter to the high
sheriff Of that county. in which office
he served for forty years. When he
died in 1900, the following was his
epitaph: Here lies the body of Harry
Rowe, who for the space of forty years
held the office of chief trumpeter to
the high sheriffs of Yorkshire During
his whole lifetime he was never known
to give a blast that tended to the dis
honor of his king and his country, his
favorite airs being God Save the King
and Rule, Britannia"

History does not tell, so far as we
know. how it came about that members
Of the English parliament wear their
hats. The custom has descended from
an age when its proceedings were not
recorded, but one may suspect that
thereby hangs tale of sturdy and vic
torious revolt against privilege. such
as broke out at Versailles, could 1t be
recovered. Now and again we find an
tique illusions to the practice. When
the commons voted that every one
should uncover or stir or move his
hat when the speaker expressed the
thanks of the house for any service
done by a member Lord Falkland
stretched both his arms out and clasp
ed his hands together on the crown Of
his hat and held it down close to his
head that all might see how odious
that 1attery was to him" London

ANAEMiA.


Conditions In the Blood of which Il
Is the Result.
Anaemia means a condition in which
the blood is deficient either In quality
or quantity. 1t is a question among
physicians whether there Is ever an
actual permanent reduction In the to-
tai amount of the blood The quaint
ty must vary, of course. from hour to
hour, according to the amount of fluid
that is drunk and the amount that 10
lost by perspiration and In other ways,
but it is probable that the average
remains about the same from day to
day, except in cases of actual starva-
ton and deprivation of water.
Anaemia, then, is mainly a question
Of the makeup of the blood-that Is,
Of the number of its red corpuscles. or
cells, and the relative amount of hemo-
globin-the coloring matter-which
these contain. The blood is a complex
fluid, but In simple terms it may be
said to be salty solution, containing
two kinds of cells-the red and the
white corpuscles. The white ones are
the scavengers of the body as well as
the policemen and soldiers. They pro-
tect the body from the disease germs
which threaten Its existence. The red
corpuscles, on the other hand, are the
commissary department They bring
to the tissues the oxygen which they
need and remove the gaseous waste
products
If the red corpuscles and the sub
stance of which they are most largely
composed, the hemoglobin, are reduced
in amount the tissues suffer for lack
Of oxygen, and there is lowering of
all the vital processes. The lessened
proportion of hemoglobin accounts for
sign Of anaemia.
1t Is common to speak of two forms
Of anaemia-primary and secondary.
Primary Is the term used when the
anaemia can be traced to no definite
cause, but seems to be a disease In
itself. Secondary is the word used
when the anaemia is evidently the re-
suit of some other condition, such as
wasting disease or poor nourishment. 1t
Is then only one of the symptoms of
such underlying state.
Among the chief causes of secondary
anaemia are drains upon the system by
frequent losses Of blood or by diarrhea
or other wasteful discharges, chronic
poisoning by lead or mercury, by the
essential poisons of certain diseases,
such as rheumatism and tuberculosis,
and by poisons formed in the body and
not promptly removed, which is called
INSTRUMENTATION" and finally the de-
struction of the red corpuscles by a
micro-organism, as is the case In ma

You can learn a thing or two about
fruit" said the foreign fruit store
clerk, by living in the country that
produces It. The natives generally
know best how to preserve and keep it
fresh. Persons ordering fruit for
steamer parties often wonder why our
oranges look so fresh and bright. They
are willing to pay good price just for
the tempting looks of the fruit. Well.
we battle them and massage them Just
as the Chinese do; that's why. / have
lived in the Celestial Kingdom and got
some valuable lessons from our almond
eyed cousins. On first class orange
plantation In China, when harvest time
comes. bamboo vessels filed with wa
ter are held under the orange trees,
and as the fruit falls from the branch
1t goes into the water and gets a good
bath. An orange not treated this way
loses its oil from having been sudden
ly cut of, and it soon begins to grow
brown and shrivel. The Chinese coolies
brush the oranges to open the pores Of
the skin and let the air In. This gets
the dust all out and helps to preserve
them. California people learned the
trick from the Monaghan farmers

Did you ever stop to consider the fact
that the Inhabitants of this earth have
never seen but one side of the moon
and to inquire the reasons why such
should be the case? The explanation is
this: The moon makes one revolution
on her axis in the same period of time
which she consumes in revolving once
around the earth. Thus the same geo.
graphical regions of the moon are al
ways toward us. One explanation usu-
ally calls for another. Therefore It may
not be out of place to remark that the
astronomers believe that the two mo-
tons SO nearly coincide because the
moon is not true globe, the earth's
influence having elongated the lunar
world in the days when it was semi
liquid or at least soft W

"A dog is accounted the only living
