A PLAIN UNDERSTANDING.
Close by a railroad junction in Alabama
where we had to wait 9ome time for the \
other train was a general store, and several G
of us went over to see how. business was
done. The proprietor was a little old man e
with a benevolent face, and his clerk was s
his son, who was a hawk eyed, sharp nosed t
young man with no benevolence about him. t
The customers were mostly negroes, and e
there was a run on some new tin coffee
pots just unpacked. The one hung up for
a sample was marked "twenty-five" on the fc
bottom. Every time a darky asked the old ?
man for a coffee pot he was referred to f
"William," and every time William was t
asked for calico he referred the customer <3
to father. We saw this go on until our cu- a
riositv was aroused, and the colonel finally t
asked the old man for an explanation.
"Stranger?" queried the old man in re- (]
ply. a
"Yes."
"Don't live about here?" c
"Oh, no; just waiting for the train." r

has the conscience to ask forty cents fur a t
twenty-five cent coffee pot, and as he's a (,
leetle sot in his ways I let him tend to that v
line." r
"But about the calico ?" e
"Well, try as hard as I may, I can't ask t
over eighteen pence for ten cent calico, and f
as William knows how rigid my princi- r
pies are, he never interferes with my side ]
of the store."?Detroit.Free Press. c

A Desirable Society.?"Gintlemen" s
exclaimed an Emerald Islander who was r
holding iorth to an assemblage of men on 3
the advantage of belonging to a society of 1
which he was President?"Giutlemen I i

appertainin' to a mimbership in this soci- t

Lawyer and Judge.?A young Chicago
lawyer a tew years ago had a case in the
Federal court before a judge who, while t
noted for his wisdom and his integrity, is ;
exceedingly impatient ui wiuiau.vi.uu, .
The attorney propounded the rule applica- [
ble to a certain ppint, When the court ab- '
ruptly declared: "That is not the law." *
"I beg the courts pardon," said the i
young attorney, "but I have a case exactly
in point." *
"Do you mean to contradict me?" demanded
the court, mad as a decapitated
hen. :
"Oh, no, certainly not, I don't. The Su- j
preme Court of the United States does, J
\ though, and I want to read this case to ;
show you what a fool that court was."? ?

"I am very sorry," interrupted the *
young man to whom she was talking,

An Unfortunate Misunderstand- r

wife, "where did all those books on astron- J

They are not ours." 8

sponded the lady. "You know, you said t
this morning that we ought to study astron- i

bought everything I could find on the sub- v
ject." ?
It was some minutes before he spoke.
"My dear," he then said slowly, his n
voice husky with emotion, "I never said k
we must study astronomy. I said we 1
must study economy."

GOOD SEED WHEAT.
There i3 but one way to have good seed
vheat and that is to grow it. We gave I
tur plan in 1884, and after three years added
ixperience, know of no improvements to i
uggest. Here it is:?Select an acre or i
wo, according to your needs, of the very <
est wheat land on the farm. If it is clov- i
ir sod, so much the better, and if you can ]
pare four or five loads of coarse manure to i
te plowed down, better yet. Plow now,
,nd leave nothing undone to put the suraee
in the best possible condition. Let 1
he harrow, roller, cultivator and plank ,
Irag follow each other at short intervals
s may be necessary to make a perfect seed
.Qri nnt mnro than two or three inches
leep. The patch being small, this may be
lone at odd hours, mornings or evenings, (
ind the time not be missed.
As sowing time approaches, apply six or
sight loads per acre of good fine stable ma- J
lure and twenty-five bushels of lime, and
vith the last workings thoroughly mix ,

ashes, dampening them a little to keep j
hem f.om flying, for use in the drill. If
ound too damp to work well in the drill (
nix a little wheat bran with it for a drier,
tfow you are ready to sow, and we are .
roing to skip over the matter, of variety, j
nerely stopping to say select whatever
ort your own experience or that of your
leighbors has proven most profitable in
mur own locality. See to it that your seed ,
s pure and clean if you have to hand pick '
t. This will not be very much of a job if
,'ou follow our next advice which is to sow
>ut half a bushel per acre. That sounds (
adical, we know, out for this once we
vant to ask you to be radical, just by way
>f experiment. Set the drill to sow but
>ne peck per acre, and then drill in both
vays. Now we want you to try this plan

SUBSOILS.
Too many are flattering themselves that
hey have another farm underneath that
hey can draw upon at any time after they
iave exhausted the one now on top. This
s, doubtless, a pleasing thought to the
nan who is cropping his land with wheat
;ear after year. But it is a delusion, my i
riends, it surely is a delusion. You'll
jam all you get from down below, mark <
ny word for it.
I believe in cultivating to a moderate
lepth. For some crops I believe in havng
a good deep soil, but I do not believe
n this indiscriminate advocacy of deep
:ultivation. Some advocate the plowing
>f all lands to the depth of twelve inches i
>r even more. Now some crops upon some
oils may demand such deep plowing, and
or other crops up.rn other soils such plowng
often proves most detrimental and inurious.
The wheat crop, for instance, :
leeds but a shallow soil. Six inches of
:ultivated soil is a great plenty for this
xop. The addition of more to this would
lot only add to the expense of the culture,
iut would prove an injury to the crop.
Some soils can be cultivated to the depth ,
>f a foot or more, while others cannot.
)ur deep loam will stand deepcultivation,
vhile our sandy loams cannot. The soil
iroper in many localities is not oversix
nches deep. Now what will be the result
f a furrow ten or twelve inches deep be
umed here? Our six inches of good surace
soil is thrown under, and from four to
ix inches of worthless subsoil brought up
>ver it. Yes, it is worse than worthless,
t sometimes ruins a field for a crop for
'ears to come. A naturally weak and (
hallow soil cannot assimilate and fertilize (

leed, in need of help itself, perhaps, hnd ,
0 help it we must give the original six
nches of soil more plant food, in the form
f manures, instead of diffusing and overwhelming
thealready scantsoilin as much
ore raw subsoil. (
Yet the fact remains, that some soils
leed deepening, and such, of course, can
ie deepened to the farmer's advantage.? j

Bumble Bees and Clover Seed.?
ilaurice Thompson, State geologist of In- ]
liana, and chief of the department of nat- i
iral history in that State, well known as a i
iterarv and scientific writer, relates in a <
ecent report the following interesting in- I
ident: ;
1 made a good old farmer call me a crank
he other day when I told him the reason
lis clover fields have failed to bear as
uoh seed as they formerly did.
' Vou don't allow the bumble bees to be
;illed on your farm do you ?" I asked.
"Yes, sir ; I do," he cried, "I make my
loys burn up every plagued nest of them."
"So I supposed," I replied, "and that is
why your clover seed fails you. Bumble 1
iees make clover seed."
"You're a crank ! You're a crank !" he |
xclaiined, and looked at me as if he
houghtlwasa tit subject for the lunatic
sylum. And yet it is a fact that a strong.|
lest of bumble bees in a big field of clover
s worth $20 to the owner; for these insects
re the chief agents in fertilizing the bios- '
oras, thereby insuring a heavy crop of
eed. In Australia there are no bumble (
>ees of our kind^and they could not raise
loverseed there until they imported some j
>umble bees."
How Often* to Grow Clover.?Closer
cannot be grown forever. It is ffh exlaustive
crop, taking from the soil in a
:rop of two tons to the acre ISO pounds of
litrogen, 71 pounds of phosphoric acid, ,
md 77 pounds of potash, with a large
juantity of lime. It is supposed, and is
rommonly taught that the clover is not '
lard upon the soil, and gets its nutriment
roin some obscure source, or, in point of
act, from anywhere but the soil. This,
lowever, is a general mistake, as the above
igures show, and as farmers who try to
rrow clover often find to their sorrow'and |,
iisappointment. For the land is "clover '
:ick,"asit is termed, just as it becomes
vheat sick, or potato sick, that is, it is too
veak and exhausted to mature a crop.
L'he clover starts well and the small plants ,
ook promising, but in two weeks one is
tstonished to find the clover has disap- j
ieared. It has died of starvation and for i
vant of food. The only safe way is to get j
i good crop of clover and plow in a good i
stubble, then lime the land and grow two
>r three other crops before returning to
Mover. Forty bushels of lime per acre
>vi 11 be of great help in growing clover.
Food for Pigs.?Pigs are benefitted by I
laving some fibrous food mixed with their i
jrain. They have been found to do better j
in finely ground cob-meal than upon clear i
torn-meal. The reason is that they digest j
;heir food better when it goes into the j
stomach in a porous condition. The cob
separates the particles of meal, so that the i
rastric juice can circulate through the j
nass. I have known pigs to do well upon
jorn-meal mixed with shortcut clover hay,
inu all cooked together. The clover hay
n this case performs the important office j
if rendering the corn-meal porous in the
stomach. Besides, the pig is naturally as
miinSi rif o (rrnc?s pntincrnni mnI as the horse.
Job-meal and bran, mixed with hot water
tnd allowed to ferment slightly, is an excellent
food for pigs.
I
ifegr A writer takes exception to the feed- 1
ingof hogs on offal and garbage, and says
Chat such swine are not civilized. In gen- !
jral the pig eats what is set before him, j
ind its quality is rather indicative of his !
owner's or feeder's civilization. In this ;
country, except in cities, hogs are fed
mainly on grain, vegetables and milk, i
Pork thus produced ought to be and is
lealthy food forany stomach strong enough
;o digest it.
aST There are few farms in the United I
states which would not be better for hav- j
ngsome sheep grazing on them. They
?at the refuse feed and they manure the !
ground. Sheep manure is favorable to the |
jrowtn of heavy wheat and corn. I

THE CRANBERRY ROUTE.
In Shelby, N. CM on the 4th instant, Col.
S. McD. Tate and. his associates signed the
necessary papers guaranteeing the con- i
struction of a new railroad through a portion
of Cleveland county. In this work,
Col. Tate claims to be backed by ample
northern capital. Concerning this new
road, the Shelby Aurora oi the 21st instant
says:
The new railroad enterprise to Cranberry
promises to begin soon the surveys
and to commence grading in November.
We know Col. S. McD. Tate, Judge Avery
and Maj. Wilson, of Morganton, and their
names are omens of success to the enterprise.
They are gentlemen of means, enterprise
and railway experience and say
they have abundant capital to begin the
enterprise. What railway is behind the
enternrise. we know not. Some conjee
ture that the Carolina Central is the controlling
spirit and wishes an outlet to Cranberry
and Tennessee where iron and coal
are abundant. Two years ago the Carolina
Central through Gen. R. F. Hoke advocated
this enterprise and promised to
aid Col. Tate, but the building of the rival
line to Rutherfordton caused a change in
programme from Morganton to Rutherfordton.
This was probably an injudicious
move tor the Carolina Central, but
they were fighting a new line invading
their territory and decided to build first
to Rutherfordton. Col. Tate is a good financer
and will play his cards well and
we expect to see the road quickly built.
Some think the Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago will trade with Col. Tate and
secure the charter to Morganton, as the
McDowell route has been reported to be
abandoned, but we do not think that is
correct. It has been stated by Col. P. P.
Dickinson recently that the McDowell
route has not been abandoned and he said
he would begin grading between Rutherfordton
and Marion on August loth and
push the enterprise. Will the two rival
lines make a race for Cranberry and in
their bitter struggle give us two railroads
to iron and coal ?
There is much conjecture in regard to
the capitalists who propose to build the
railroad to Cranberry. Some assert it
will be a branch of the Carolina Central,
others think the Boston will control it.
Col. Tate, Maj. Wilson and Judge Avery
favor more the Air-Line syndicate than the
CarolinaCentral, and they say it has nothing
to do with the Carolina Central. We
think that neither rival line has any control
of this new route, but other capitalists
will direct and push this enterprise to
an early and successful completion, if no
lanrol nnmnlioafinna nrdupnf.. Thpv ftlaim
, ?
one-half a million of capital at their command
and have no connection with any
railroad in North or South Carolina. We
are glad to learn that it is a new route
free from the control of either rival lines.
As soon as Maj. Wilson finishes the Cumberland
Gap survey, our routes will be
surveyed and work will begin according
to contract.
MERCY.
The Philadelphia Record says: "Jefferson
Davis is setting his house in order.
The Good Lord and Uncle Sam certainly
have been merciful to him, and should
the sons of the victors be less merciful?"
Jefferson Davis has lived to a ripe old age,
in such a way as to prepare him for the
summons that must reach him in time.
The Good Lord has, indeed, been merciful
to him. He has lived beyond the allotted
years of man. He has received the heartfelt
demonstrations of his people, lavished
upon him under circumstances which
made his heart swell with gratitude and
pride. He has outlived very many of his
friends and most of his opponents, and has
lived to seeithe senseless prejudice against
him in the rforth greatly softened. But
he has no cause to be thankful for any mercies
bestowed upon him by "Uncle Sam,"
or in other words, thegeneral government.
The cruelties and indignities inflicted upon
him are a blot and stain upon the history
and character of the government.
Notwithstanding the assurance from a
United States Judge that he could pack a
jury to convict Jefferson Davis, the government
itself dared not make the attempt.
No more responsible for the war than the
people who called him to the head of their

I'ttll the conduct of Stanton and his minions
mercies. The day will come to the
people of the North when they will realize
the fact that God was merciful to them by
restraining their passions ere they had

Logical.?A Georgia paper records the
following anecdote illustrating the difficulty
which children frequently experience
in making distinctions. There is such a
thing as making a rule too inflexible,
and carrying logic too far:
He was learning to spell and read at
the same time, and his text book was a
First Reader. His chief stumbling stone
was a double letter. When he came to the
word "feel," instead of spelling it "f-double
e-1, feel," he would say "f-e-e-1, feel," repeating
the double letter twice. It took
weeks to impress him with the necessity
of saying "double" whenever he found
two letters together, but he learned it at
last.
One day, toward the close of a vacation
during which he had grown rusty, he was
brought out before a company of ladies
and gentlemen to read any piece they
might select in his First Reader. His
mother watched him with trembling anxiety,
but he appeared to feel himself equal
to the occasion. A young lady among the
company selected a little poem, which began
with this line:
"Up, up, Lucy: the sun is in the sky."
The embryo "logician took his place in
the centre of the parlor floor, made a bow,
and read the first line as follows: "Double
up, Lucy; the sun is in the sky." He
never finished the recitation.
Words Relatinnu to Money.?The
derivations of words relating to money
is from moneta, because in Rome coins
were first regularly struck in the temple of
Juno Moneta, which again was derived
from monere, to warn, because it was built
on the spot where Manlius heard the
Gauls approaching to the attack of the
city. "Coins" is probably l'roin the .Latin
cuneus, a die or stamp.
Many coins are merely so called from
their weight, as for instance the English
pound, the French livre, Italian lira ;
others from the metal, as the rupee from
the Sanskrit rupya, silver; others from
the head of the state, as the sovereign,
crown; others from the proper name of
the monarch, such as the Louis d'or, or the
Napolean. The dollar or thaler is short
for the Jachirasthaler, or money of the j
Joachims valley, in Bohemia, where these
coins were first struck in the Sixteenth
century. Guineas were first called after
the country from which the gold was obtained,
and franc is an abbreviation of the
inscription Francorum Rex. The sou is
from the Latin solidus. The word shilling
appears to be derived from a root signifying
to divide; and in several cases the
name indicates the fraction of some larger
coin, as the denarius, half-penny, farthing,
cent and mill. The British pound was
originally not a coin, but a weight, and
comes from the Latin pondus. The British
pound originally was a pound of silver,
which was divided into 240 pennies.
The origin of the word penny is unknown.
Some have derived it from pendo, to
weigh ; but this does not seem very satisfactory.
The word "sterling" is said to go
back to the time of the Conquest, but the
derivation has been much disputed.
A CLEVER WOMAN'.
The Chinese must have been reading the
Bible, with particular attention to King
Solomon's wisdom, judging by the following
story recently added to the Chinese
literature:
Two women appeared before a Mandarin
in China, each contending that she was the
mother of the child that they had brought
with them. They were so earnest in their
demands that the Mandarin was sorely
perplexed. He withdrew to hold counsel
with his wife, whp^was a wise.and clever
woman, and whoser^opinion was highly esteemed
in the neighborhood. She begged
for five minutes' time for contemplation.
At their termination she said : "The servants
shall catch a large fish in the river
for me, and bring him in alive."
This was done.
"Now bring me the child," she said,
"but keep the women in the outer room."
This was also done. Thereupon the wife
of the Mandarin had the child undressed,
and had its clothes put upon the fish.
"Now take the fish away, and in the
presence of the women throw it into the
river."
The servants obeyed, and threw the fish
into the water, where he flopped and jumped
about, no doubt much displeased with
the clothing in which he had been placed.
Immediately one of the women jumped
into the river with a loud shriek. She had
to save her drowning child.
"She is, without a doubt, the real mother,"
exclaimed the wife of the Mandarin.
And she had the woman pulled out of the
water, and gave the mother her child.
"She is without a doubt the real mother,"
she declared; and the Mandarin nodded
his head and declared his wife to be the
cleverest woman in the flowery kingdom.
Meanwhile the false mother sneaked
away; her deception had been discovered.
But the Mandarin's wife forgot everything
about her while occupied in clothing the
child in the finest of silks that she could
find in her wardrobe.
The Mormon Temple.?The "Temple
of Zion" is In process of construction, and
is to become one of the most remarkable
and beautiful edifices in the world. Its
design is a modification of the Temple of
Solomon. It stands within the walled
space of ten acres, originally set apart for
temple purposes, upon which theTaber?
aele and the buildings known as the Endowment
House stands. When the Temple
is completed, it will be the house of
worship par excellence; the Tabernacle
will b<* reserved for gatherings, meetings,
concti s of a semi-secular character.
The i esign of the Temple is very beautiful
and symmetrical. Its great blocks of
white hewn granite sparkle in the sunlight
as if impregnated with jewels; its
foundation walls are nine feet in thickness,
and are pierced by six tiers of windows,
two of them circular, the upper
ones called the "Eyes of God." Every
part of the structure is symbolical, representing
sun, moon, stars, and different
farts of the earth's surface, cut in stone,
t is expected that the cost will reach five

A Glass of Water in the Morning.
According to Dr. Leuf, when water is taken
into the full or partly full stomach, it does
not mingle with the food, as we are generally
taught, but passes along quickly between
the food and the lesser curvature,
towards the pylorus, through which it
passes into the intestine. The secretion
of mucus by the lining membrane is constant,
and during the night a considerable
amount accumulates in the stomach, some
of its liquid portion is absorbed, and that
which remains is thick and tenacious. If
food is taken in the stomach when in this
condition, it becomes coated with this
mucus, and the secretion of the gastric
juice and its action is delayed. These
facts show the value of a goblet of water
before breakfast. This washes out the tenacious
mucus, and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In old or feeble persons
water should not be taken cold, but
it may be with great advantage then
taken warm or hot. This removal of the
* ' i ?: r 4.u~
accumuiaieu mucus irum me atuuiiiiii id
probably one of the reasons why taking
soup at the beginning of a meal has always
been found so beneficial.? N. Y.Post.
A Cautious Darky.?The father of
General E., of Virginia, had a body servant
who was an inveterate toper. His
master tried every means in his power to
break him of his drinking. Persuasion
was useless, advice wasted, and whipping
but temporary in effect. Sam had been
to a dance, and imbibed freely, and returned
homeat break of day, and at breakfast
was rather the worse for wear. His
master thought to try the effect of frightening
him by apparently reading from
the morning paper the death of a drunkard
in It. "Spontaneous combustion! Horrible
death of a drunkard! Last night
Michael Maginnis was in a beastly state of
intoxication ; he retired to his room, and
in blowing out the candle his breath
caught fire. He was entirely consumed
and nothing left ol him but the ashes in
his shoes." Sam stood with eyes agog
and hands raised. "Marse John, dis nigger
neber blow out a candle ez long ez he
lib, shuah!"
Mormons at Work.?Serious trouble
is feared on the banks of the Savannah
River, near Augusta, Ga. The Rev. David
Berion and Elders Spencer and Murray,
Mormon missionaries, have been preaching
in that locality for some time. They
have converted about twenty-live families
of the more ignorant whites. The doctrine
expounded is that all who do not
adopt the faith of Mormonism and go to
Utah before 1893 will be destroyed by lire;
mat no marriages are in atwiuautc nun
the laws of God except those sactioned by
the Mormon Church and that no woman
can attain to absolute perfection in the
future unless married in this life. Notice
to leave the locality has been served on
the missionaries by the more responsible
citizens, but they have refused to comply.
The missionaries are backed up by their
converts, and declare that they will resist
any attempt of the regulators to drive them
from the country.
Does Sound Rise??It is frequently asserted
that sound rises. This is true, but
not exactly as one would understand by
the expression. Sound travels more rapidly
through a dense medium than through
a thin one. Its velocity at the sea level is
about 1,100 feet per second. In water it
will move at the rate of 4,700 feet per second
; through iron at the rate of 10,000 feet.
In high altitudes, where air is thin, it not
only travels more slowly but decreases in
intensity. But when one hears sound I
through different densities of atmosphere :
the intensity or volume of the sound de- \
pends on the density of the atmosphere
where it originates. Thus, one at an ele- \
vation of 20,000 feet in a balloon may hear !
the report of a gun on the surface of the
earth?the sound originating in a denser
atmosphere?while one directly below
could not hear a gun fired from the balloou,
because it would originate in thin
atmosphere.
/
THE KENTUCKY PIONEER.
A happy and artistic thought has pre
served the authentic pioneer costume
sculptured upon the State military monu
ment at Frankfort, from models preparee
under the eye of pioneers that then sur
vived. The coat or "hunting shirt" tha
reached to the thigh was of coarse cloth oi
preferably of well dressed deerskin tha
turned rain and was not readily torn
Around the neck and shoulders was ?
fringe six inches long, not intended foi
ornament alone, but supplying the string:
so often needed by a hunter. The foui
pockets, two on either breast, were exactly
placed that the use of weapons would noi
be embarrassed. A belt, carrying toma
hawk and knife, passed through loops al
the back and was tightened by a buckle
or thongs.
Benpath tho right arm swung the bullei
pouch, and with it the powder horn. Ir
the former were carried the bullets, the
cotton "patching" with which the balls
were surrounded in loading, and the pre
cious extra flints, all inclosed and fastenec
in interior pockets, lest in rapid move
roent they might be lost. The powdes
horn was selected with reference to th(
curve of the body, that it might lie close
and neither impede the use of the righi
arm nor become entangled with the bushes
or cane. Much care was bestowed upor
its adornment and it was softened bj
boiling to receive the desired shape anc
preparation. At the left side hung th<
tomahawk, a light hatchet with curvec
blade, useful in many ways about the
camp, and a formidable weapon in closi
combat. The knife lay across the ches
within ready grasp.
Over his short trousers and stockings
the hunter habitually wore deerskin leg
gings that reached to the middle of th(
thigh. These were prepared for brair
dressed skins and perfectly turned the rail
and dew. Along their outer edge wer<
often fringes of strings hanging for readj
use. The feet were cased in moccasins, t<
which soles of rawhide were sometime:
sewed; but as a rule the soft elkskin was
preferred, for the face of the land was as
yet unbroken turf or forest mold, soft an(
springy to the tread. Stone cropped ou
as cultivation disturbed the soil in afte:
years. A cap, brought from the easteri
settlements, or made of the skin of a coor
or panther, completed the costume of tin
original hunter in Kentucky.?JIarper\
Magazine.
Putting on the Wedding Gar
ments.?About four miles out of Tuscaloo
sa, in returning from a Sunday visit to i
plantation, we stopped at a negro churcl
in which about a hundred blacks were as
sembled for divine service. The preache;
was a man with powerful voice and gest
ure, and his sermon was about the necessi
ty of being arrayed in the wedding gar
ments and standing ready for the Master's
call. His congregation soon began t<
warm, and pretty soon one and anothe
commenced to drop out as if overcome
iiitj seimun was^iauu auu uiipcui uu
way beyond the comprehension of the or
dinary plantation hand. When we wen
out and drove up the highway we fount
men and women scattered here and then
in the shade, and pretty soon came to om
young man who sat with his arm arount
a girl. We stopped the buggy, but neithe
of 'em seemed to care, and pretty soon th<
Colonel observed: "George; is that a cast
of love?" "I reckon hit ar\ but I doan
quite know," was the young man's reply
"Dat's a powerful sermon of Elder Jack
son's to-day. He's done told us to put 01
de weddin' garments if we want to b<
saved." "And so you intend to put then
on?" "'Deed I does, sah. I only com<
about half an hour ago,'and I'se greed t<
marry fo' different wim'in in dat time
| Gwine to get all de weddin' ga'ments righ
on soon' I kin, an' if a cyclone comes d<
Lawd will take car' of me, I reckin. Se<
any mo' wim'in down de road, Kurnel
tell 'em I'll be 'long d'rectly."
Cloud Burst.?The term cloud burs
is a misnomer. Clouds never burst; the}
dissolve in rain. To produce the conden
sation of vapor called rain the cloud mus
be suddenly cooled. This happens whei
the temperature of the lower strata of th<
atmosphere is greatly increased, and th<
rising currents of warm air force the vapo
up into the cold regions. Also when i
cold wind from the polar regions, or whei
a strong current of air carries the cloud:
against the colder surface of a high moun
tain, and the contact with this surfac<
condenses the vapor. Common phraseol
ogy in mountain regions describes thesi
clouds as striking the mountain sides au<
bursting by the contact, as though the}
were bladders filled with water, whose side
suddenly giye way. The more correct un
derstanding of the phenomena shows tha
the rain is simply the condensation of the
vapor molcules, the process being thi
same whether it be carried on slowly o
rapidly. The effect of suddenness is mucl
increased in mountain regions by th<
overnow 01 springs ana ine lucieaseu vc
locity of streams as they flow through thi
rocky gorges of the hills.
Rainfall.?At a recent meeting of th<
Royal Society of Edinburgh, J. Murray
i read a paper on "The Total Rainfall oi
Land of the Globe and its Relation to thi
Discharge of Rivers." Investigations, ac
cording to this, show that the total amoun
[ of rain falling upon the land surface of thi
globe is 29,350 cubic miles annually. 0
this amount 2,243 cubic miles of rain fel
on the inland drainage areas of the globe
which had an area of 11,380,350 squar
miles, and, as no water was discharge!
from them into the ocean, it followed tha
all the water which fell as rain must b<
again returned to the atmosphere by evap
oration. Should the water accumulate ii
those areas into lakes, and those lakesshov
a slight annual increase in size, then thi
rainfall must be regarded as greater thai
the evaporation ; but when, as in the casi
of the Great Salt Lake of North America
the size of the lake slowly diminished, thi
evaporation over the basin must be greate
than the rainftill. The total weightof sub
stances carried to the ocean by rivers eacl
year is calculated by Mr. Murray at ove
5,000,000 tons.
Prohibition in the South.?At tin
National convocation of the Women':
Christian Temperance Union, at Lak<
Bluff, 111., last Saturday, Senator Colquitt
of Georgia, gave some interesting detail
of what prohibition has done and is doinj
at the South. In twelve Southern States
he said, there were fewer saloons to thi
population than in a dozen other States
not excepting Maine and Kansas. Loca
option has been adopted in Georgia ant
Alabama and prohibition was a succes
everywhere.

A engine a few months ago is giving entire

I had to quit running while the wind was blow^

S can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
- which way the wind blows. Haven'tseena live
t spark from the engine since I have been using it.
3 And another good thing about it is, it can't wear

think it a great invention, and wouldn't take

whatever from the engine.
