The Life In Washington Was Not .
 Happy Time For Her.
 Mrs. Johnson was so much of an in- valid that outside of intimate family friends very few knew her. She ap. peared only twice in public during her husbands administration. Still, her in- Guence was a strong one, and 1t was exerted in the direction of toleration and gentleness. A slight movement of her hands. a touch on Ter husbands arm, a Now, Andrew" made 1t easy to see that the woman who had helped him thros,gh his struggling youth and given her health to his service, who had taught him to write and had read to him through long winter evenings in the little tailor shop that his active mind might be fed while he was prac- ticins his trade still held her place in his life She was a sweet faced wo- man who showed traces of beauty through the sharpened lines caused by the old fashioned consumption which was wearing her out. Her face was not unlike that of the late Mrs. Mc- Kinley. The death of her eldest son was a blow from which she never fully recovered. The life in Washing ton was not happy time for her. She told me herself that she was far more content when her husband was an in- dustrious young tailor. -- William H. Crook in Century. .

HEARD IN PASSING.

Every gate should be put up by the government health authorities against the entrance into this coun- try of the dread disease cholera. We are threatened from several directions and it is reassuring to know that the government has taken prompt meas ures to guard the health of the coun- try.-Bridgeport Post.
 Private Allen of Mississippi was at one time the humorist of the house of representatives in Washington. His mantle fell on J. Adam Bede of Minnesota, who has just been retired from the house. They will have sue cessors in wit, perhaps, but at pres ent their equals in quip and jest are not on the fioor-New London Tele- graph.
 It is not a credible story that Cuff fey, the Pittsburg petroleum million aire, supplied Hearst with his copies of Mir Archbold's political corre- spondence. It is true that MT Bryan invited trouble when he consented to the exclusion of Colonel Guffey from the Denver convention, and from his national committee, but it is not like ly that any other oil man has had ac- cess to MT Archbold's confidential letter book. It looks like plain case of sneak thievery with Hearst and the republican party as the benefciaries. Hartford Times.
 The Standard Oil admits through MT Archbold that it's secretive meth cd of doing business was wrong from the start. but finds solace in the fact that it cost money. But had not the Standard Oil in the first place sought to buy legislation right and left it would have been saved the trouble of explaining at this late day. It is the old case of the giver and talk CT oyer again-one is as bad as the other-and no amount of explanation will clear the monster or the high in- diyiduals who profited by their high office in wringing from the octopus thousands of dollars for their service when a few hundred would have been ample pay for services rendered. -Middletown Press.
 In New York last week a judge of the court of general sessions sen tenced a man convicted of the theft of B to spend not less than 19 or more than 20 years in state prison. From a distance that looks like a pretty stiff punishment for such crime, although the facts surround ino its con1 missio- aro pof stotod su the reports. In Connecticut a theft of that amount would be considered well punished by fine of s7 and 30 days in jail. Many a man has com mitted murder and escaped with less severity than that New York thief. The news report says that the pris- oner is a negro and there may be room for suspicion that his race had something to do with the length c. his term.--New London Day.

Nubar Pasha and the Pipes.

Soon after the occupation of Cairo by the British troops the late Nubar Pasha took a prodigious fancy to the music of the Black Watch and had the idea of having servant taught the use of the bagpipes. Nubar dispatched French friend, who spoke English very well, to interview piper on the subject.
 Donald replied: "Weel. he micht learn or he micht no. Bit, let me tell ye, it needs wind an mickle strength tae fill the bags O the pipes an keep blawin'.. Sac if yin O thae Egyptian chaps took the job on he'd need tae be bandaged a ow're like yin O thae auld mummies, or maybe he'd burst him. sell"
 This conversation was reported to Nubar, who took the pipers remarks seriously. So he gave up the idea of having a skirler attached to his house. hold, as the use of the bagpipes was attended with the prospect of such danger to the performer.-Westminster Gazette

Depth of Cyclones.

From the study of clouds an official of the United States weather bureau concludes that ordinary cyclones which traverse our country from west to east are not more than two or three miles in depth, although their diameter is many hundreds of miles. In other words. their motion does not affect the upper regions of the atmosphere, In the case of hurricanes this authority finds that the depth is greater. amount ing to as much as five or six miles. But higher currents blow directly across the cyclonic and anticyclonic areas which produce storms and fair weather at the surface of the earth Chicago Inter Ocean.
