"It is our policy to get out some

Phenomena Awed Europe,

Europe and Asia were covered by
fog during the summer of 1888. Says
Gilbert White Netter 109): The sum-
mer of the year 1888 was an amazing
and portentous one for, be-
sides the alarming meteors and tremen-
dous thunderstorms the ne.
cnliar haze, or smoky fog, that pre-
vailed for many weeks in this island
(England) and in every part of Eu.
rope, and even beyond it's limits, was
most extraordinary appearance. The
heat was intense. CaIabria and part
Of the Isle of Sicily were torn and
convulsed with earthquakes" Cowper
also refers TO this phenomenon, in
speaking OF nature, with a dim and
sckly eye"

Golden Roses.

A metal rose industry has been es-
tablished In Chicago, where hat-pins
with rosebud heads are in very truth
as real as they appear to be. BY some
wonderful process the natural flowers,
picked before they are fullblown, are
dipped in liquefied metal This is
credited with the effect of turning
them as successfully into gold or sill
yer as If they were dug out Of mine,
while they are, besides, by a secret

At One Shot.

A sportsman of great imaginative
gifts and fond of telling his exploits,
related that at one shot he had brought
down two cartridges and hare. His
explanation was that although he had
only hit one partridge the bird in fall.

and brought that to earth entangled
in its claws. But how about tho
hare?" he was asked. OH" was the
calm reply, my gun kicked and
knocked me backward and l fell on
