THE UNAPPREclATED CLOUDS.

A. w. Clayden in Harper's.
many the extraordinary variety Of
cloud forms, and the way in which
they graduate into one another, may
seem enough excuse, since it is not
easy to fasten special name upon
one particular stage in a long-con
tinua1 series. But cloud forms do
group themselves into well-defined
families, and certain forms bear re-
lation to weather changes so obvi
GUS that very little observation is re-
CURED to note them. How is it,
then, that these families and these
portents of the weather to come have
not long ago found places in the popu
lar dictionary?
The fact is that singuIarly few peo-
pie really observe the clouds. Even
those who are keenly ON the alert for
all else that goes on around them
very often take little heed of the
clouds unless they happen to form the
chief features of a sunset sky, or
some such phenomenon, and then it
is the effects of light and color which
are noticed rather than the cloud
forms

APAcHEs OF PARIS.

OF that curious breed of criminals.
the Paris "Apaches," a correspondent
writes: Paris juries are renowned
for their softness of heart Ever
since the practical suppression OF
capital punishment hardly day has
passed but some CHASTITY murder has
been committed and almost always
for the most miserable cause. Only
day or two ago young man stab
bed his mother to death for the SIM
pie reason that she refused to hand
him over $40 to pay off some debts,
and murder is often done for even
more trifling sums. Without the gull
lotine and the lash France must ex-
pect such foul crimes not only to
continue but to Increase, and the day
must come when the government
will have to revert to strong meas
ures.
NAs it Is, Paris is anything but a
safe city, unless one keeps to the
main thoFoughfares, and even those
threaten to be invaded by, the Apache
Quite a fashionable amusement now
adays is to go, well escorted to the
Apache quarters and visit the taverns
frequented by these charming
gentlemen and their fair companions
1t is a pleasure not unmixed with dan
ger unless the greatest discretion is
used.
Every one may not know that the
true Apache is always a young man
under 80 and very often under 81
He is frequently recruited from the
ranks of the apprentice butchers and
a fact significant to criminologists is
that a very large percentage of the
murders committed in France have
butchers as their authors"

as s'river-farm of one hundred acres,

WeII-known Women Who Frown Upon

Extravaganza in dress is froWned
upon by the women of the stage. No
one could be more transformations IN
their dress than a large number of
our prominent actresses. Immedi-

elaborate gown of the play is discarded
for the simple dress that belongs to
the stars private life. Il love to take
some inexpensive material and make
something pretty out of it. says

dressed but rarely extensively So
She hates conspicuousness in dress.
and says: 1T is not only vulgar but
makes a girl look stupid" For sew
eral years before Ethel Barryomre
reached the dignity of stardom she
only wore black and white. In this
way she could always look well and it
was the least expensive.
One of the best dressed women on
the stage is Marie Cahill, but she
spends much less on her clothes than
one would believe : She insists upon
her gowns fitting absolutely as she
wants them She allows the dress

from its attack on him and his
management of the water sys-
TEN and it is known that he
persisted in cutting off the pow
er and lights in the face of the
arguments of his attorneys and
other advisers, saying that he
would do it anyway, law or no
law and that he would fight the
case to the highest court in the
land. The present prospect is
that instead of injuring this
paper, he has by this act so in
volved himself with the people
really interested in the Light
company that within a few
days he will be relieved of his
job as manager of the company
and deprived of all interest in
its affairs. The people who
have real money in that COM
pany do not look upon him as
a safe manager of their prop
erty. In fact they realize that
that this unlawful act has jeop-
ardized the company's right to
do business in Mountain Home,
and that the Republican, were
it SO minded, could now insti-
tute and carry through pro-
ceedings to deprive the COM
|pany Of its franchise in Noun
tain Home and compel the sale
of it's property. Naturally,
therefore, they do not feel kind
ly toward Garrett. Of course,
the Republican will take no
such action against the COM
pany. 1t has taken only such
action as was necessary to pro-
tect it's own rights and make
Garrett understand that he is
not altogether superior to the
law, even in Mountain Home.
That result has been accom-
plished and it now only asksthat
it be made whole for its damage
and loss up to the present time.
