WHAT .T IS 7 0 BE FORTY.
F> am the Rtts'rn Ihiily Advertiser,
O'n discos or a sprinklo of gray in your beard.
And a th’i.ness of crop where 1 1. * upland is
deare 1:
To not- how you l .ko to slippers ami gown.
And hug te the lire when you get borne from
town;
Ah, Unit s w hat it is to be forty.
To Anil tbht your shadow has portlier grown.
That your voice has a practical, businesslike
tone;
• That, vonr vision is tricky which once was so
bright,
And a hint of a wrinkle is coming to light:
Ah, that's what it is to be forty.
A sleigh ride, a party, a dance or a dine-;
Why, of course, you'll be present, you never
doclin; ' •
Rut, alas! there's no invite, you’re not young
folks, you see;
You're no longer a peach, but a crab apple tree;
Ah, that's what it is to be forty.
A daughter that grow s like a lily, a queen.
And that blooms like a rose in a garden of
green,
A dapper young clerk in an ice cream saloon.
Both a dude and a dunce is to carry oft soon;
And a boy that is ten, and the pride of your
eye.
Is caught smoking vile cigarettes on the sly—
Ah, that's what it is to be forty.
At twenty a man dreams of power and fame;
At thirty his Are has a soberer dame;
A t forty his dreams and his visihus are o’er.
And he knows and he feels as he ne’er did
before
That a man is a fool till he’s forty.
FREEZING UNDER 23 B -ANKETS.
The Coldest Night Ever Recorded in
Civilization A Signal Observer
Whose Thermometer Marked Six
ty-Two Degrees Below Zero.
From the St. Louis Poet-Dispatch.
Yesterday there was in the city quite a
distinguished young man. His celebrity
consisted in his having recorded the lowest
temperature ever observed within the
hounds of civilization. H A nutne is George
A. Carden, and he was on his way faom
Lamar, Mo., to Chicago, where he will act
as Assistant Observer in the Signal Office.
Jt was on New Year's morning, 1885, that
Mr. Carden, the l the Signal Sa vice Ob
server at Poplar River. Montana, sent on
the solitary telegraphic wire that connected
him with the world outside, this brief but
startling announcement;
Temperature 62.1° below zero.
Mr. Carden was succeeded bv Vernon P.
Chappel, now observer in charge at the St.
Louis station. The two were swapping
reminiscences of that frigid region, to
which the inexorableness of military disci
pline had at o time banished them, when
a reporter joiued them. Mr. Carden is a
good-look ng young man, above the average
height, sturdily built, and with a dark com
plexion and the acoe it of a bom Southerner.
“You haven't forgotten tue coldest day
of your life, Mr. Carden!” asked the re
porter.
“Well, hardly,” said he, and he gave a
suggestive twist to his coat collar. “I
never shall, either,” he went on. “I came
nearer freezing to death than I ever want
to again.”
•Weren’t you in the signal station at the
tiirr-?”
“Yes, I was,” he answered, and then both
the signal men laughed sarcastically. “The
station, you must understand, was simply a
• :abiu, ten by twelve, made of cotton wood
logs, pinned together, the chinks being
plastered wi h uiud. The roof also was
mud, apd the floor was formed of cotton
wood boards, which, having been put down
greeu, had shrunk till they left cracks which
would easily swallow up the legs of the only
chair in the station. Tne only thing that
made the loom habitablo was the fact that
the hut hao been ba. ked up with dirt that
reached up half way to the roof.
“In that little room I went to bed on the
night of Dec. 31, 1884. The bed was within
arm’s length of a big drum-stove, large
enough to receive f mr foot cord wood, as
we dare not get out in the cold to keep up
the flee. I had begun observations at the
place a year before, Dec. 3?, 1883, and was
?Tst much surprised on rotiriug the last
night of 1884 to flud the spirit in the
official thermometer down in the neighbor
hood of 50“ below. I bad often recorded
50’ below before, but I thought that
night before retiring that a pretty
low temperature would be reached,
as the air was painfully still and
the stars looked brighter and rearer than
ever. I tossed about all night trying to
keep warm. The big stove I kept nearly
red-hot, hut still the little room would not
get warm. It seemed as cold as the outer
air. Upon me I had ruled covering equiva
lent to twenty thicknesses of blankets.
Army blankets, buffalo robes, buffalo coats,
cloth coats—everything in the shape of pro
tection —was heaped upon mv little bed, yet
still I shivered under it afl. No one can
form an idea of the cold that night. I had
to wear the heaviest mittens and my seal
skiu cap was pulled down over my ears.
ONCE I REACHED MY BARE HAND
out of bed to throw another stick of wood
on the fire, and before I could get the wood
in my hand it was so benumbed that I had to
drop* the stick. Mind you, all this time the
fire was roaring and crackling.
“Well, at last the night wore away and
about 8 o’clock, I guess it was, I got up. I
didn’t have to dress, though, but just slipped
on my big buffalo shoes ami made for the
miui.mftn thermometer. There the alcohol
spirit was on the one-tenth mark below the
63° mark. When I saw that my heart
jumped fast enough to warm me up a little,
as I knew that no other thermometer but
mine had ever gone so low except in Arctic
exploration. That remarkable degree of
cold was reached just about sunrise. I never
saw the air so clear as it was that morning.
’The atmosphere itself seemed frozen, and
my eye could see further down the
WHITE SNOW-GLISTENING PRAIRIES.
than it ever bad before. There was not a
sound to break the stillness, and I felt like
the Arctic explorer who stands iu the si
lence of the eternal snows. The only thing
That bound me to civilization was the smoke
that came up from the distant army Dost;
United Slates troops are sta ioned there to
watch the Indians. Tuatdaytbe tempera
ture rose to about 30° below , and four days
later it rained. In those four days the
range was 100‘, the greatest range ever re
corded.”
•‘Was any lower temperature ever re
corded J”
“Yes, but only in the Arctic regions by
Oreely, and his lowest reading was only
nine-tenths of a degree lower than mine.
Mt. W .shington, which is considered the
coldest place in the United States, has re
corded as low as-12.3°. It is hard to con
ceive of the cold getting much inteuser
than I felt it that morning.”
“Well, I should say so,” broke in Ob
server Gray, who, !>eing fresh from his en
trance examination, was able to add:
“Loomis says that the temperature of inter
planetary space is only W‘ below.”
. “Did many jwrsons freeze to death that
sight?”
“No. As tho cold had been increasing
steadily lor a week every bo y was prepared
for it. The soldiers hud become so accus
tomed to the cold that the usual guard duty
was done that night The Indians, of
course, suffer most. They seem to be starv
ing and freezing all the time up there in
cold weather. They haven’t the least idea
of how to dress, and they soon find that
their breech-clouts and loose blanket is little
protection against cold that freezes iner
ettrv. ”
“ What is the usual clothing worn there in'
winter f’
“Well, I used to wear an ordinary flanneß
shirt next to the skin, then a very heavy
woolen shirt over that, und then vest and
coat of unusual thickness. That Is, around
a Are. Of coui'se, when people leave a tire
and travel a miie or two, they pile as many
overcoats on as thev can. It is quite amus
ing sometimes on a -10° day to see men come
iti from some distauce down the prairie and
take off the layers of overcoats. Over
o\ ery tiling is worn the buffalo coat, without
winch there would lie no standing the
cold. Ido not gee what the pe pie will do
up there when the supply of buffalo gives
out. Why, the government distributes to
the sohiiers buffalo coats, iru-krat cups and
buffalo shoes. Ti e lower extremities are
clad in a double thickness of wood. Most
frequently the soldiers just take their array
blankets, fold them double, and make them
into drawers. Over these come the heaviest
pants obtainable, and the lower ones are
tucked into thick German stockings, as
they call them, oue-fourtU inch thick. Over
these are pulled on the buffalo shoes, and
often a pair of loose Arctic overshoes is ad
ded.”
“The cattle perish in such cold, do they
not!”
“No, indeed: they don’t mind clear, still
cold. They get into the canyons and stay
there till it gets warmer. What plays havoc
with the cattle is the blizzard. That drives
them into a frenzy of fear and pain. At
t'oplar river, which is fifty miles we-t of
the Dakota line, and tlfty miles south of
the British Possessions, there is no timber
except a little patch on eitheir side of the
river, which there empties into the Missouri.
IT 18 AN AWFUL THING,
to look across those prairies and see nothing
but a sweeping mass of snow, worse than
any sand storm that ever caught the cara
vans. Before one of these blizzards a herd
of cattle will be driven like a ship before a
gale. The eis no slopping them,' and they
plunge on till they drop one by one or
blindly find a shelter. It ts something hor
rible to sit in one’s house in the isolat ion of
tliesorni, a id hear in the distance the rum
ble of a herd sweepingxra like chaff before
the wind. You eouldnx see them even if
they were only a block away, so impenetra
ble is the sheet of flying snow Another
danger to cattle is drowning. When a herd
comes to a frinking lido in the river, all
the animals crowd around until they make
such a great weight that the ice gives way
and the whole herd goes in.”
“What is the principal food in that
American Greenland?”
“Beef, the finest in the land, too. There
is no beef quoted higher than the Montana
beef. They get all they want of it up there,
mid that, no doubt, is one reason the cold
can be withstood. The only vegetables
eaten are canned, as the railroad is 300
miles from there, and there can be no trans
portation in such weather.’’
“Do they warm up much on liquor?”
“No, there is very little drinking when
any outdoor business has to be done in the
coldest weather. The old-timers have all
come to understand that the time to
take any liquor is alter being out and not
before.”
"You, of course, were accustomed to cold
all your life”’
“On the contrary, I was raised sn Ala
bama and had never been n:rth of that
State till Dec. 1883, I was sent to Poplar
river. But I got along as well as the others.
In fact, I met many Southern-bred persons
up there and they didn’t seem to be any
more affected than those who come from
the North.”
Mr. Carden was an object of great awe
among the Indians, who called him “Muzza
popper-etonsheo,” meaning the chief man
who talks on iron.
A PAR’S SPECTACLE.
An Episode of Mac Mahon and the Mar
ket Women.
From Household Words.
About a year after the conclusion of the
Franco-Prussian war I chanced to be in
Paris at the time of a great military funeral
—that of Geu. Valliere. With a true Brit
isher’s love of a pageant—always doubly at
tractive If funereal—l started off in hot
haste to view the procession. A few francs
secured for me a window which looked on
to the square where one of the great mar
kets was being held. I had not long to
wait; in a very few minutes the dull, sol
emn tones of the drums and the heavy thud
of the footsteps were heard. As the long
line of soldiers were passing through the
square I noticed that the market women—
“les dames de la hallo,” as they are styled—
regarded them with no great favor. At first
the women showed a kind of sulky imtiffer
ence, then contempt, and a smouldering
anger, which boded ill for the future. The
soldiers were evidsut’y accustomed to this
treatment, for they went quietly on then
way, looking neither to the right nor the
left. At last I espied in the distance Marshal
MacMahon, riding at the head of his troops.
The moment he came in view one of those
subtle cha ges pass and through that crowd of
wom-m, which indicates that positive is
added to the negative electricity with which
the air is charged. Their eyes flashed, then
faces flushed, and it seemed as if they, one
and all, held their breath. But this was
only for one instant; the next the very air
was rent: for, moved by some common im
pulse, as the Marshal entered the square,
they bluest into a loud shriek of execration.
“Villain —scoundrel — murderer!” were
among the mildest epithets they hurled at
him, evidently they had neither forgotten
nor forgiven the Versaulist massacres,
ill which, perhaps, their husbands or
their fathers had been slain. It was the fu st
time in my life that I had seen an excited
crowd, and in my inexperience, judging of
the designs of these women by the fury of
their gestures and language, I trembled for
the Marshal; I was sure they would tear
him to pieces. He is a soldierly man, glit
tering with orders nnd decorations and rode
quietly forward until the women, throng
ing in his path, rendered further advance
impossible. Then my fear was for them, not
him, and I waited in terror, expecting to
hear him order his men to clear a path. But
no. With a quiet smile Marshal MacMahon
looked down on the angry crowd around
him; then, taking off his hat with a courtly
flourish, he called out in a tone of gentle
raillery, as if addressing children who
must be coaxed into good tempera;
“Good day, ladies! please let fne pass?”
There was an instant’s pause, and then, with
a laugh, they stood out of his way, more
than one of them muttering: ‘He’s a good
fellow, after all.” In less than five minutes
the feelings of the crowd changed from bit
terest hatred and thirst f,r revenge to
fr.endly toleration, both feelings being for
the time utterly and entirely sincere. These
women did hate MacMahon; they would
have liked to tear him limb from limb;
and yet, at a smile, a courteous word and
gesture, they became tolerant, almo t
friendly. And he, the niueli-hated Mac-
Mahon, the commander of the Versa iiist
massacre, was within a few months, amid
general acclamation, proclaimed President
of the French Republic.

Rheumatism Overthrown by the Use of

I suffered fifteen years with Rheuma

so-called specifies that 1 could hear of.
One of them 1 paid $3 per bottle fof, and

who runs on the 11. and W. railroad
finally got a bottle of V. P. P. ( Prickly

in Wuycross, and induced me to take it.
The first bottle showed its wonderful

Harper’s Young People.
A Sixteen-Page Illustrated Weekly
for Boys and Girls.
5 Cents a Number.
Subscription per Year. $2.00.
The Ninth Volume began with the Number
issued November 1, 1887.
Harper's Yocno People is a miscellany of
the best reading for hoys and girl*. The seri il
and short stories found in its pages are of a tiit'll
literary quality; and while they have all the
dramatic interest that juvenile fiction ran pos
sess they do not detuise the taste of young
readers by exaggerated or false views of life
and motives of action. The paper contains val
uable articles on scientific Nuhjvs and travel,
historical and biographical skeicnes, papers on
athletic sport* and games, stirring poems, etc ,
contributed by the brightest and most famous
writers. No subject that may properly eulisl
the interest of young people is foreign to its
purpose. In all the departments free use is
made of illustrations in aid of the text, and fine
pictures, representing f he work of the foremost
artists and engravers, lavishly adorn its pages
Every line in the paper is subjected to the
most rigid editorial scrutiny, in order that noth
ing harmful may enter Its columns.
The fart that Harper's Yorsu People ap
pears at weekly intervals, sustains the interest
felt by Its readers, especially in serial stories
and coutinued articles, while the sixteen pages
(exclusive of occasional supplements) of wLich
each number consists, afford ample s[iace for
the utmost variety of matter.
A novel and im|>oriant feature of the volume
of Ha a pea's Young People for 1888, which will
comprise 58 weekly numbers, will be Supple
ments of especial interest to Parents and
Teachers.
The year’s weekly nuniliers of the paper con
tain about one fourth more reading tnan the
twelve numbers of the most popular of the
monthly Juvenile magazines, and this at a
yearly subscription price considerably less than
theirs
