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. "It needs,” as Hamlet says, “no ghost To come and tell” this truth. Ture SQZODONT preserves the teeth. In age, in manhood, youth. If any substitute is offered For this reject it when ’tis proffered. FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGONY. Rheumatism Overthrown by the Use of Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium. I suffered fifteen years with Rheuma tism. and (luring that time tried all the so-called specifies that 1 could hear of. One of them 1 paid $3 per bottle fof, and took nine bottles und received no lame flt from any of them. My grandson, who runs on the 11. and W. railroad finally got a bottle of V. P. P. ( Prickly Ash. Poke Root and Potassium), while in Wuycross, and induced me to take it. The first bottle showed its wonderful effects, and after continuing the use of it for a short time the Rheumatism dis appeared, and I feel like, anew man. I take groat pleasure in recommending it to sufferers fror. 1 Rheumatism. W. H. WILDER Hoh. VV. H. Wilder is Mayor of Albany, Ga., and takes pleasure in testifying to the virtues of P. P. P. P. P.
