THE signal ueliievomcnt of the | floverninent Weather Bureau ' in predicting the recent clis- , natrons tornadoes in Iowa | twentv-four bourn in advance of their 1 awful visitation* has brought into new prominence the remarkable accuracy with which in these days of advanced bcieuce a weather forecast cau be made. [ ] The prediction of the Iowa tornado j , offers n noteworthy example of tho I value of the < ioverumont Bureau, and illustrates the perfection of the system it employs, but tho forecast iu point of accuracy is duplicated daily. It isn't every day that a tornado starts on a wild stampede, but the weather sharp* nre expected to keep the eities and towns of the country pouted in advance in regard to tin* weather. The daily forecast lias liecoinc an all-important element in all calculations, whether ol pleasure or of business, and could no more bo dispensed with than tlio telegraph or any of the other agencies which have revolutionized affairs. As ?v much depends upon these predictions it is not surprising that the bureau has reached a high grade of efficiency. If an JCuglish or a French weather sharp were assigned to our bureau he would probably be as confused as the average man on seeing a three-ring circus for the first time. 3t is not an uncommon circumstance for the Weather Bureau to chase half a dozen different varieties of storms over the country in a day. ft may be hailing in North Dakota, a tornado may bo making sad havoc in the Western farming belt, a windstorm may bo bowling along the Atlantic coast, imperilling ship]dug, and four or live thunder-storms may be creating alarm in as many different sections. With all these complications, a short, thick-set man, with gray eyebrows and gray mustache, calmly looks over the mans which are made 011 the reports of one of the (toverniuent observers thr> vein ut the country, and figures out jusi the kind of weather that may bo expected in every State and section. This short, thick-set man, with gray eyebrows and gray mustache, is the official wh*?, on examining the map <.n i51-? night of duly 5, paused for a moment, and then, to the surprise ?>:' hi assistants, murmured: "XI.is looks like a tornado." Major Dunwoudy was the officer who read (he sign < aright. Til Government ob rver^ at Sioux City, Dos Moines, la., Keokuk and Omaha, had nil roporto I t'ifeatcnin : atmospheric conditions, an i Knit- reports, when reduced to tracings on the map?, showed /* that the centre of the atmospheric disturbances was at Cheyenne, with the winds racing from all four points ol the compass toward the Wyoming capital. Major Dunwoudy has had an intimate ncguaie.tance with storms for years, and this tornado didn't fool him by protending to ren lozvous at Clicycnne. The Major is nn old army officer, who understands nil about think movements, and he began to figure out where the main attack might I bo expected. He was sitting on a liigli stool in the forecasting room nt the Weather Bureau, culeuhuiiig on the tornado's probable evolution. I he Major rea I the report of the storm sentiiu Is at Sioux City and Dos Moines over again, ami then drew a circle, with the centre at Cheyenne and the rircutuft reueo towards the Bast, touching Davenport. The Major'st \perii nee t night him that the most trouble might be expected in < the soulhen.-t segment of the eircle, and before o'clock that night, all the observers who furnished th" alarming reports were instructed by wire to send out warnings to cities and towns on the respective sections, and orders were also given to employ e\u rv moans to inform tin: country districts of the impending peril. Hours before t'lc storm broke with its terrible fury express trains ruuniug through the isolated communities had carried the Imn nuh inl lligenee, and those who lived far from the railroad station were warned by whistles, which were blown according to an established and well-understood code. How quickly all this was accomplished illustrates the ellieieiiey of the Government system, us directed by Chief Harrington. At 8 o'clock on the night of the ."tii the observations were mime, anil an Hour later Major Dunwoody, with quick judgment, based on long experience, had located the storm, and had sent out a forecast to the threatened community, tolling of the dangers to be feared. IIow much greater might have been the damage to property, and how much greater the loss i?f life, hut for the warnings! The Weather Bureau did not announce that a tornado might be expected, as tornado predictions went out of favor with the young army lieutenants. The warning, as sent out, was to the effect that severe local thunder storms were threatened, and the farmers knew full well what was meant. As interpreted by them, it signified that a ground cellar would be a good place in which to spend July (?.?New York World. The Bo.i n Banana Was Wearing. A curiosity in the line of a snake is to ho seen at the New England news stand. It is a boa constrictor, aud came from South America wit'un cargo of bananas. The snake is throe feet long and about four inches in greatest PV. circumference. On its long journey it was kept comatose in a refrigerator, but hardly had it been unloaded when Minnesota's sun began to thaw it out. A fruit voudor of this city was marching out of the store with the bunch of Dananas nung over lus shoulhor, when a bystander call 3d out to him. The man turned and saw the snake on a level with his eyes, looking at him as ,.^^^^kpngh wondering what uext was to l>o nB^^p>ccted. The bananas were dropped Hil the vender's optics fairly bulged of his head. Ho might possibly heard of finding tarantulas in a of bananas, but a boa constriewas too muoh.

B "7T" N advertisement appeared in /\ one of tho afternoon Now A \ .Tersoy papers under tho head <? of "Boarders Wanted" a couple of days ago which read that Jogs and birds were boarded on o farm [>n West Side avenue. West Sido avetine is located on the far side of the Heights in Jersey City, in the newly h settled section. The boarding house is 0 located on a rich farm of abont fifteen acres and about two hundred feet from v the uvenuo. All through the grounds b one can seo newly-painted dog houses, and as far as tho eye can reach dogs of j all kinds are seen, some tied to their c houses, others tied to trees and some running loose. Tn a lot which is sot apart for this H particular purpose are rows of neat little houses, used as cat housos. Tho cats are allowed to run Ioobc during ? the day, but when night comes they of their own accord return to their respective homes. Each cat has a house f of its own, and after a stay of three 1 or four days on the farm all learn their places perfectly. \ One would imagine that where there t aro so many dogs and cats in such close proximity frequent fights would r occur, and it is not at all unlikely that j such things do happen.

Do you know how to wash dishes? Not merely so that you get them otl the kitchen table into the china closet, but so that tho despised and dreaded task becomes almost a pleasure. This is the way to accomplish that result. As sooti as tho cooking is done, till all the cooking utensils with water and leave them to soak. When the meal is ended scrape all the plates clean?not with a knife, for that, scratches and nicks?but with a soft pieco of leftover bread. Put the plates in olio pile, the saucers in another, the cups, emptied of their drainings, together, and tho glass and silver together. Have a bowl of water cool enough to allow your hand to remain in it a few minutes without scalding, but hot, and wash the glasses with soap iu that. Dry them as fast as they are washed. If you let them stand upon a tray the air dries them, and does it ir. streaks where the water is trickling down. Have a soft, clean, liutless cloth for this purpose. Then wash tho silver; the water should he very hot for this, ff tlloro are any crevices, clean them with n brush kept for the purpose. Dry on a clean towel and polish with silver powder.

Tins may be kept in a state of dazzling brightness:! by being rubbed with sifted wood ashes or with whitening. Copper utensils should be scoured with brick dust and flannel. Tho dish cloths and mops should bo washed, scalded and dried nft-T each using.

There is also a long building J for birds.' Hanging from hooks wero 1 about sixty cages containing birds of all sorts. They are hung high enough 1 to prevent the eats, which live close ' by, from interfering with them. Nor is this all, for as you come out through ? the door of the bird house you are i confronted by an immense sign which j reads: "Horses pastured and colts handled with care." ^ Upon inquiry it was found that ^ horses wero taken for the summer and . colts wero broken. If there was any other sortof animal that required care it is very probablo j that it, too, would bo found there. The farm is owned and conducted by a man named William Welsh, a short, stubby, good nntured man who enjoys ] tolling the secrets of his peculiar business. "About ten years ago," Mr. Welsh said, "when T had just landed in this country, I heard a friejnl of mine wonder why somebody didn't have just such a place as I have here. I thought the matter over for several weeks, and finally approached my wife011 the subject. She did not appear to bo very enthusiastic at first, hut I finnlly prevailed upon her to try it, so when the summer season began I had everything in readiness and advertised my business. The scheme was entirely new then and did not take very well, but I managed to get a sufiicient number of dogs and birds the first year to convince me that there would be money in it in the end. We just about cleared expenses the first season, and when tins next season came around wo wero prepared for the reception of any number of dogs. The second season was better than the first, and the succeeding summers have each been bettor than the former, so that now we have made it quite a paying business. Wc have managed to make enough money in the last ten j*e?rstobuy thisplaoe." "But why do people want to board | their dog, cut or bird, as the case may ' be?" ) "I'ou know that tho craze for pet j dop;s, birds and cats is increasing every < day, and as a consequence there are wealthy families hero in Jersey City who apparently think uh much of their pets as they do of thoir children. | When they go away for the summer, as ( they generally do, they want to feel | that their pets aro well eared for." "Do not so many dogs and other animals make an immense amount of | work?" i "Of course there is lots of work attached to the business, but wo manage < it all right. The lirst thing in the 3 morning my son George takes tho dogs, ten at a time and as many more as wo < know do not need watching, and goes i down to tho llaokenaack River and i gives them their bath. After they havo been washed with u carbolic preparation which I use thoy return to their houses and a second lot is taken to tho river and the same thing is done to them, and this is kept up until all i of them have been washed. The birds my wifo takes carts of and the cats are cared for by all of us. They are fed regularly and receive good care while they aro hero. If any of my boarders arts taken sick I doctor them myself." "How many boarders havo you here now?" "Well, at present there aro eightyone dogs, sixty eats and I think 210 birds. For the dogs we get from $8 to ?10 per month, for tho cats $2 and for tho birds $2.75 per month. The horses and colts we rnako special arrangements for." "I)o you ever lose any of yonr boarders through theft or escape?" "Well, occasionally a dog will run away, but we usually find him. As to having n dog stolen, I guess not. Any tramp or thief who would dare to come in here at night, amid tho noise that the dogs \fould make would be deserving 01 a ueuer inio man ne won Id undoubtedly meet."?New York Advertiser. An Educated Snake. A cow belonging to John H.

Borne boys watched her one day and observed a large black Rnako approach, and milk the cow.

They are everywhere welcome, more especially beoanse they offer medical advice and medioine gratis, prefaced with religious oxoroises.
