whose griefs and disapp ointments seem
so tragic, was that uttered by Mrs.
Dolly Madison when she was over
eighty years old and near her death.
Her life had been fortunate and beau
tiful not only because circumstances
had proved kind to her. but from the
brightness and buoyancy Of her tenn
perament. She harbored no bitterness
over past experiences, but life had
taught her the unimportance of most
trials which loom so gigantic in ap-
preaching. Not long before her death
one of her nieces went to her for sym

All ehad Are the Same.

Fishes are proverbial aids In magn1-
flying facts. None of the finny tribe
tends more to that end than the plain,
ordinary, "house broken shad. Florid-
ians will testify that the st. Johns river
shad is without equal; North Carolin-.
ians stoutly maintain that the Cape
Fear river variety is the only kind
worth eating; Washingtonians vow
that the Potomac shad is perfection;
Philadelphians swear by the Delaware
product, and ''lfl' old" New York sim
ply thinks that any other shad than
the Hudson river brand is unfit to eat
And thus they go-the farther north
the greater seems to be the prevarica-
ton daring The fact is. however,
that they are all talking about the
same old bony shad. In migrating
north it goes up each Of the rivers in
turn. 1t is salt water fish, in fact,
which swims into fresh water to spawn
and is captured when perpetuating the
species. 1t is true that the residue
from oil works, gashouses, etc., in the
several large cities enumerated may
give Mr.. or Mrs. Shad slightly local
flavor. but none to be proud of or to
provoke the unstinted partisan praise
that is showered upon this much over
rated fish.-New York Tribune.

When Wild Winds Blow.

Most of us are apt to look on a storm
as simply Il strong wind blowing
straight from one place to another.
It is not so ut all, for storm wind
always blows in a curve .and a storm
is not really a wind. but whole wheel
of winds with curving spokes. These
curving SpokeS represent the various
winds all blowing toward the hub
This hub is called tue "eye" Of the
storm. 1t is the spot at which the
barometer is lowest. On the rim of the
wheel the barometer is high. and the
nearer the hub the lower is the barom-
eter. This wheel of winds is usually
several ''"1 I:e'? miles across.
