caught was u yearling, weighed 81 lbs.,
and fat as they get, at that age.

VOLUME XVII.
The most violent
irale recordcil In- lilm
was at East St. Louis, in lSUl, when the
wiuii overturned a locomotive, the form;
developed in o doing being no less than
P.'l pounds per sipiiire foot. At St.
Charles a jail was destroyed in 1871, the
paessurc required being Hi pounds per
square foot. At Marslilleid in 18S0, a
brick mansion was leveled, the force
necessary being i3 )ouiuls per square
foot. I'.elow these extraordinary pres
sures, Mr. Smith instances nui'ncrous
cases of trains blown oil" rails, and
bridges, etc., blown down by gales of
21 to III pounds per square foot. In all
the exaniples.the lowest, force required
to do the observed damages have been
taken as the maximum power of the
wind, although, of course, it may have
been higher.
Enthusiasts who luve made a special
study of snnspots and attendant phe
nomena believe that the corner-stone of
a new science is being laid by discover
ies pointing to an Intimate connection
between solar and tei rest rial meteorolo
gy. Just what the connection is they
are not yet able to clearly define, al
though electricity is suspected of lining
the airent through which the efleetsare
manifested upon our planet. It is known
that (he gaseous envelope of the sun is
("fleeted by eruptions of such prodigious
magnitude, as to be utterly beyond our
power of conception, these disturbances
appearing to us in the form of rapidly
changing spots nnd protuberances. The
eras of the spots or sun-storms occur
at remarkably regular intervals, a com
plete evele of the various stages of ac
tivity from maximum to minimum nnd
again to maximum being performed in
about eleven years thu so-called "sun
spot period." Tho sun-spot physicists
claims a coincidence of tho periods of
maximum spots and years of great at
mospheric nnd physical disturbance in
the earth. The present has been a year
of great solar disturbances, while It. has
been marked by violent storms and
earthquakes upon our globe. Further
than this, these scientists claim to have
recently detected by simultaneous oh-,
servatlon miner nlmnspherlc changes as
the result of corresponding movements
In the sun. Many diliiciiltics attend
these observations, but the Aslionnier
Royal for Scotland, and others believe
that the Stale of (lie sun will someday
become an Important factor in weather
forecasts nnd like calculations.

The best inaternl for cleaning coat
collars and grease spots of nil kinds is
pure benzine. The article Is sold al the
principal drug stores in cilllis. Thai
used by painters is not pure enough,
nnd has a very unpleasant odor, which
the pi, re article has not, and Ihe little
which it, has soon disappears. If ibis
cannot be obtained, strong alcohol (h
per cent.) will clean collars very well.
A mixture of equal purls of strong alco
hol and water of ammonia is also used.
The trouble with all these liquids Is that
not enough Is used; a small quantity
only 'softens and spreads the grease
spot; they should be applied In sutll

BRISTOL, VIRGINIA h TENNESSEE. TUESDAY,
For tlio News.
A Coquette's Plea.
II Y O. A. M.
Would you nsk me why I flirt,
I'll tell you the reason why :
Were, it not for my flirting
1 would slowly droop and die.
Some may say, "it is not right
To break a dear lover's heart;"
Hut what is all that lo me
If I only play my part?
I am sure I'm not alone
In my innocence ami mirth,
For all nature, seems to jilt
The gay, lovely scenes of earth.
The mild sunbeams doth nllure
The flowers, in color, red;
Their bloom in lovely summer
Soon all by frost to be shed.
And tliey, then even themselves,
To nod in coquettish glee
To every gentle zephyr
That is wafted o'er the lea.
Then you need not censure ine
For 1 know that I am right;
I'd til it with dear old grandpa
When no other vows to pligllt.
I woiild'nt give up my flirting
For all the gay boys I know ;
Nor would 1 c're pledge my hand
To any chivalrous beau.
I'll not forsake this pleasure
No difl'erence who he be,
I'll ne'Cr bow lo any man
And live a meek Niobu.
They say I will soon grow old
And old maiden's course pursue,
Hut paints, and curls, and ginning
Will then come to my rescue.
"Well, what if I do grow old?
For it I care not a pin,
I'll play oil' a "sweet sixteen"
And take some old bacli'lor In.
Yet, If in nil this I fail
A great consolation dear,
I'll have, to know in old age
Of b'lss, I have had my idiare.
I will then live at my ease,
Keineuiberlug jilted beaux ;
I'll have no rough cur to please
Hut spend my lime knitting hose.
Oh bowl then ye gallant beaux,
If mv beauty's made you mad!
1 care not. for joy or woes
Hut for pleasures I have had.
Itestorcd I rom a lo lino.

Ihe sheet long enough lo turn under Ihe
mattress at the foot, the lower one ihe

sheet well over Ihe bedding. Tills will
save the .pillls from becoming soiled by
the sleeper s brcalb. U lieu a lieil has
been occupied all winter, everything
about it should be washed in Ihe M'llng.
To wash a feather-tick, choose fair eat li-

lite feathers lulo one end of the lick and
lie llrmly in Ihe centre. Wnh II mp-
ty end and when dry shake ihe feather's
into thai, tie again and wash the other
half. Corn-husk beds are much nicer
than straw, as Ihey are not sodusiv, and
wltli the addition of a few fresh husks
from time In time, will last for years.
They may be freshened by turning the
husks out In the situ and nlr for a ibiy or

Once safelv landed in the Czar's domin

tnove that it is impossible to estimate
the undetermined currrents that clreii

daring aerial navigators should escape

would be slight of of their escaping alive

Economy in Dress,
A dress that is so peculiar ns to be
striking, cilber from its brilliancy of
color or any other cause, should bu
adopted only by a woman who has ninny
changes of raiment, and so may wear it
only 'occasionally, or the sight ot it be
comes a bore, even If at first it is inler
teresting from its novelty. The woman
who has many dresses can afford also to
give it away "or convert il into some
oilier use 'before It Is worn, 'while tho
unobtrusive dress easily lends itself to
some difl'ereiit adjustment, which gives
It 1111 entirely new aspect.
A woman who lias hut one best gown
can "wear it with a dill'e.rence," like the
rue Ophelia offers to her brother, so as
to make it suitable to many occasions,
especially if she lias two" waists, or
'bodies,'' as the English call llieni.
One ski.t will easily outlast two waists,
ami therefore this is a real saving. Hut
suppose that there be but one waist, or
the dress be made all In one piece (than
which there is no prettier fashion), and
it should be worn one day high in the
neck, with collar and cull's, on another
dav with the neck turned In, and a lace
of 'muslin llchu gracefully adjusted with
bows of flowers, nnd a bit ol lace at the
wrists, a pair of long gloves, ami a more
elaborate dressing of the hair, it w ill be
scarcely recognizable. Hut the dress
must, he of a very general character.
like black silk, or some dark color, or
(be pleasure of the new impression is
losl.
The wise person with a small capital
never buys any but a good nnd lasting
thing. Each year she adds one or two
really solid possession to her waldrolie,
which, treated with care, will last her,
i.i. 1 1 ........ 1 1
many years. 1 nits on a reauy sman
sum'she may dress very beautifully.
Without capital one Is obliged lo buy
what can last but a few mouths; hut
there Is choice even here.
There is certainly a great economy in
a woman s 11.iop1.11g lor occasions 01 cer
emony one dress from w bleb she never
diverges. 1 1 become 4 her cbaraelei Istle,
and there Is even a kind of style and
beauty in the Idea. 1 he changing lash
Ions ill color and material pass w ithout
all'ectlng her. She Is never Induced to
buy anything because It Is new. She is
nlways'tbe same. The dress In this case
must have a certain simplicity, ll costs
her Utile thought and little lime, ami
when Ihe old edition, becoming worn,
gives way lo the new, Ihe change Is not
perceived, nor Is ll noticed w hen the
lew In its turn becomes old.
Such dress a this must af course lie
within certain limits. Suppose ll to be
a black velvet: It would la.-l. with care,
at least live or six years. Suppose ll to
be a white casliliieii' .1 dress of small
cost ; It could, with care, last two sea
sons; nnd then, cleaned, last another
season or two; and then, dyed, be turn
ed Into 11 walking drcs to last two sea
sous more,
If a dress Is put on with grace, its
owner alone Is aware of lis defecls, and
ll Is a kindness lo tho spectator If she
will keep her own secret.
In France, and I believe nl-m In Italj
they have 11 poetic fashion of dedicating
for a certain number of years (five, ten,
or twenty yen's, according lo the pa
rent's fancy) young girls to the Virgin.
I do not ki'mw in what way Ihey demon,
slrale Ibis deillenllon exec it III the color
of their dress, which Is always, for all
in sons, summer or w Inler, blue or
while, or while anil blue mixed. This
aH'ords more variety limn it lli-l thought
it would seem lo be capable of, for any
shade of blue may be used.
There Is 11 great economy In deciding
on a few becoming colors In Ibelr sever
Id shade, and confining one's dress lo
these, Choosing colors thai harmonise
Willi each other, like gray, black, inirple,
blue, yellow, while, and never inlying
any oilier color, one may. In making
over garments, use one with number so
that nothing I wasted,
