In the neighborhood of Buenos Ayres, In South America, there la a worth wind which sweeps over plains covered with marshes and becomes overcharged with moisture. The ef fects produced in the human body are in general lassitude and relaxation. The pores -of the. skin are opened, in ducing great liability to colds, sore throat and all consequences of check of perspiration. The damp wind of La Plata 'seems to affect the temper and disposition of the Inhabitants. The irritability and ill humor it excites in them amount to little less than a tem porary derangement of their faculties. It is a common thing for men among the better classes to shut themselves up In their houses during its continua tion and lay aside all business till it has passed, while among the lower classes it is always remarked that cases of quarreling and bloodshed are more frequent during the north winds than at any other time. Even mur derers nre said to lay to it the blame of their foul deeds. No sooner, how ever, does the southwest wind, blow ing from the dry and snowy summits of the Andes, set In than health and comfort and peace are restored.

Cola two miles North cast of Monroe caused quite a good deal of excitement and resulted in quite a unfortunate manner for several of the ladies who were in the buggy at the timo. The single tree broke and' the horses jumped letting the tongue down, which frightened the horses more, causing them to turn into a barbed wire fence, throwing them out of the bnggy over and against the fence. Mrs. Preston was seriously cut on the face, had her nose fractured and face braised badly. Mrs. L. D. Simth had a rib broken, and her daugh ter Ldyia was cut on wrist and limbs by the barbed wire. Mrs. Mann was more fortunate receiving onlv some braises about head and face. Medical COLORING FLOWERS. Sll pie Method by Which Deaatlfal Effects Are Obtained. We know that horticulturists create almost at will flowers of varied colors by practicing forced culture, artificial selection and hybridization, in this way obtaining a very extended scale of colors. Still, in any case, the color of the flower, although It. Is possible to give birth to millions of varieties, can only be modifled within certain limits. With reference to this fact the colors of flowers have been divided into two great categories, the xnnthic series yellow, yellowish green, orange and red and the cyanic series blue, indi go and violet Never has a flower of the first series passed into the second, I nor has the reverse taken place; never has a gardener, no mutter bow clever he may be, been able to obtain blue roses. The florists, however, obtain this color. The method of the florists la that classic one which has been long employed in the case of violets for example, making them green with am monia, white with vapors of sulphuric acid, etc. In this case, however, it Is the coloring matter of the flower Itself which Is modifled, although In the pro duction of green carnations tho meth od adopted is that of artilicially intro ducing coloring matter Into the tissues of the plant, the coloring matter then being incorporated Into the petals. When the first green carnations ap peared in Paris the city was seized with astonishment, and many persons The Prairie Dec. There is no burrowing animal which works with more intelligence than the prairie dog. He never commits the er ror of making his mound in a place which may be submerged by water. In a western Kansas town a small boy caught a youn;4 dog and fixed a home for it in the cellar of Ills father's house. The dog went to work almost at once to dig a tunnel to the open air. It went down under the stone wall of the cellar and up to the surface at a point about 100 feet from the house. But it found that its point of exit was in the middle of a well traveled road. It went back and dug another gallery in au oblique direction from the first, emerg ing In a plot of grass. The earth car ried back into the cellar in this digging would more than fill a wugon box. For several years the dog lived on the premises, making the cellar its base of operations, but going to the open nir ut will through Its gallery. Kansas City Journal What He Wm Um To. "Do you know of the only Irishman .who ever committed suicide?" asked the story teller. "You know it is said that Irishmen never commit suicide, and when- the argument was advunccd In a crowd of that nationality he was so unstrung that he decided to show his opponents that Irishmen do sometimes commit a rash act. He accordingly dis appeared, and the man who employed him started a search. When he got to the barn he looked up toward the raft ers and saw his man banging with a rope around his waist. "'What are you up to, Pat?' he asked. MOI'm hanging meself, begobs!' the Irishman replied. " 'Why don't you put it around your neck?' "'Faith, Ol did, but OI couldn't braythe,' was the unsmiling reply of the man from the Emerald Isle." Lou isville Courier-Journal. Early Christian Canine. Cursing, it may be observed, contin ued in full vigor in Christian times, of ten harmonizing ill with our modern notions of Christianity. Some are al most horrible in their ferocity, as when the violator of the tomb is told that "he will be accursed of God forever" or that "he will give account to God, who will judge the quick and the dead." There Is one which perhaps will rather provoke a smile. The of fender Is threatened with the curse of all the fathers of the Nicene coun cil. "He that throws rubbish in this Inclosure." the inscription runs, "has the anathema from the 31S fathers as an enemy of God." Sidney Smith once alluded to a forty parson power of preaching. If we re member aright but the anathematiz ing ability of 318 Nicene fathers is a much more appalling idea, and there is a ludicrous contrast between this terrible but vague ienalry and the very prosaic and familiar offense. Maeniil lan's Magazine. Tbraablajr Trollope. During Anthony Trollope's early days in the postolfice it was the cus tom for the junior elerks to take turns in the waiting room to answer ques tions. One day, when Trollope was on duty, a young woman came to make some complaint, and she went awny much displeased and upset by what she considered to be the gross rude ness with which she had been treated by him. Next day, Trollope being again on waiting room duty, two stalwart young men appeared, and, having ascertain ed that they were In the company of the clerk who had been in attendance there on the previous day. they shut the door and proceeded to give A. T. a most severe thrashing. The pair to gether completely overpowered the fu ture novelist, whom they informed, when they had sufficiently chastised him, that this was punishment for his insolence to the young woman who had called at the office on the previous day and who was their sister.

Mrs. Herbert Thurston and baby, ae of the Popnlar Lcsenda JMIdaie Aces. One of the popular legends of the middle ages, which oppears to have Seen known in various forms in all Catholic countries of southern Europe, has been preserved In the folklore tales of those countries either with the title of "The Story of Beatrice and the Vir gin" or as "The Miracle of Our Lady." According to the mediaeval legend, Beatrice was a nun in a convent at Cologne. She knew nothing of the wicked outside world having lcen placed in charge of the sisters when very young but just as she was bud ding into womanhood she was seized with an uncontrollable desire to learn something of the mysteries lying be yond the great brown walls of what had always been her home. Finally, after many nights of tearful restless ness, she took the key of the sacristy, and. prostrating herself before a pic ture of the Virgin, she said, "Madonna, I am internally tormented with dis quietude both day and night, and today, in order to relieve myself of this dis tracting agony, I leave this house and thy service to become a person of the world." For fifteen long years, so the story goes, she remained away from the convent, and in this time saw all the ups and downs and miseries of city life in the great European trade cen ters. During these many weary months she never forgot the quiet home she had left at Cologne, And the kindly faces of the nuns seemed to be "ever near her, especially In her troubles. At last, when this mode of living had become unbearable, she returned to Cologne and applied at the convent for admission. Seeing that the person who answered her rap did not seem to recognize her, she ventured a few words in a kind .of wild attempt to find out if possible whether the sisters had really cared for her or had ever longed for her return. "Do you know aught," she said, "concerning the nun Beatrice?" Judge of her wonderment when the reply came, "She has lived In this con vent, holily and religiously, from her youth up." Puzzled beyond measure at these words, Beatrice was about to turn away when an apparition of the Ma donna appeared before her and sold: "My child, fifteen years since thou quitted this convent. From that day to this I have dally and hourly dis charged thy duties in thy form and dress. No one la the building knows of thy long absence. Go, now, and take the keys from the altar where thou didst leave them, resume .thy dress and do penance for thy many sins." Immediately after addressing these remarks to the erring one the vision moved as a flash of light to the sacris ty and assumed its accustomed place in the portrait of the "holy family." Even after settling down on the can vas the picture la said to have. smiled approvingly while the wayward nnn was making preparations to again be come one of the holy sisters. apiece for the flowers. The municipal authorities instituted an investigation and soon discovered how the flowers were colored. It appeared that a young girl accidentally poured Into tho water of a vase containing white car nations coloring matter with which she was painting a rose leaf green. What was her astonishment to sec the carnations lose their white color and assume n beautiful green tint. From this to the regular manufacture of the flowers was only a step. aii pianis, uowever, uo not Jena themselves in an equal manner to these vagaries. The carnation, hyacinth, orange flower, gillyflower, iris, chrys anthemum and camellia are the most easily colored, and In this respect it is amusing to experiment with the many hues that can be obtained. It is wily necessary to preimre n coloring solu tion, then cut the stem of the flower and place it in the solution. The plant draws up the water, und little by little the coloring matter is distributed throughout the plant's tissues. A common gillyflower placed in a solu tion of light green aniline dye is quickly transformed, at the end of twenty minutes the white .parts being blue, the yellows green and the reds violet. Many other effects may be produced in the same way. Cosmos. Claaaea In Tnrher. The people of Turkey are classified as three classes the wealthy, the peo ple of ordinary means and the poor. The wages which the poor are pa.d range from 20 to 23 cents a day. Some of the girls who work in the silk manu factories are paid as low as 5 and 7 cents for a hard day's work. The ma jority of the inhabitants of Turkey, by the way, arc employed In the manu facture of silk. Farming Is carried on very little, which Is due to the small profits which It brings and to the scarcity of machinery. There are many wealthy people in Turkey, some of whom are said to be worth $2,000,000, and they spend freely. The Flrat Atlantic Cable.

At !S." per mile the total cost of the 2,"i00 miles of deep sea wire was $1.212.".00. To this add twenty five mile;; of "shore end" wire, costing $1,450 per mile, ami we find that the first ocean cable, exclusive of instru ments, cost $1,250,000. The Eye of a Jellyaiili. The eye of a jellyfish is so primitive that we can hardly say whether it sees or feels that is, when a floating jelly fish begins to sink below the surface Of the water as the shadow of au ad vancing ship falls upon it it is proba bly affected by the sensation of dark ness, but perhaps the pressure of the onrushlng wave has something to do with It. The Granting- Ox. One of the largest of the mammalia of Tibet is the yak, or grunting ox. Standing between five and six feet high at the shoulders, the bulk of this strange looking creature Is not a little exaggerated by the enormous growth of hair upon the lower part of the body and tall. Beneath the outer coat, more over, there is a layer of flue wool known as "pushlm," which is highly prized for the making of cloth. A Few Bis Word.

How Benjamin Franklin appeared to a fashionable Parisian lady in the eighteenth century is told in the mem oirs of the Marquise de Crcquy. She descriies the man who chained light ning as follows: "I once had the honor of meeting M. Franklin at supper at Mme. de Tesso's. As a joke she never let me know that he was coming and put me next him at the table. I paid tbem out by never speaking a single word to hi-u. What, indeed, could I have found to say to this librarian and printer? Franklin wore his hair long, like a Brittany deacon. He had on a brown coat and, a plum colored vest and breeches, and his bands were of the same shade. Ills cravat was striped wita red. But what impressed me mostly was the way be ate eggs.

Hair, including bristles, wool and fur, is a modification of the epidermis, or scarf skin which envelops the truo skin, and consists of flattened ceHs In layers, and the hairs, like the epidermis, maintain a vital connection with the body. An ordinary hair has a shaft which projects beyond the sur face and a bulbous follicle in which it is rooted. It grows out from the bot tom of this follicle, and the cells of the deepest stratum gradually enlarge as they mount in the soft bulb, where pigment cells are developed. The shaft of a hair Is much narrower than its bulb and is produced by the rather ab rupt condensation and elongation into hard fibers of its cells. The outermost layer of cells, which overlap one an other, forms what is called the cortex or bark. The Beaut? nf a Face. There are faces so fluid with expres sion, so flushed and rippled by the play of thought that we can hardly find what the mere features really are. When the delicious beauty of linea ments loses its power it Is because a more delicious beauty has appeared that an Interior and durable form has been disclosed. The Una's Share.

He accordingly communicated his suspicions to the jeweler, and tho latter, while stoutly maintaining the In nocence of the bird, agreed to have an emetic aanunistercd.

I suffered for four months with extreme nervousness and lassitude. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach which no medicine seemed to rcliere, and losing my appetite 1 became weak and lost my vital ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen pounds of flesh and felt that I must find speedy relief to rejrain my Health, tfavuur heard V mo of Cardui praised by several of mv inenas, 1 sent tor a bottle ana was certainly very pleased with the results. Within three days my appetite returned and my stomach troubled me no more. I could digest my food without difficulty and the nervousness gradually diminished. .Nature performed her functions without difficulty and I am once more a happy and well woman. OLIVE JOSEPH.
