WbKK OF A CLOUDBURST THE COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION OF A LOVELY VALLEY. In Fifteen Minute* the Scene Changed from Faradiee to Denotation Wild Race of Animal* Before a Wall of Rutliing, Foaming Water. Here, between the fir covered sides of the parallel ranges of mountains, is a valley half a mile wide an 1 ten miles long, its upper end beginning far up in the grim hills. It winds abont like a river, and here and there it is crossed by a creek which seems a thread of silver trailing along the green grass. A carpet of grass and flowers—here and there a grove—birds flying np and down —a warm and gentle snn pouring down from oat of a clear Jone sky. As we look down upon this valley wo are reminded of paradise. Never a scene on earth more peaceful. One swinging in a hammock under one of those green trees beside the brook would find him self as near to the peaco and qnietnesa of heaven as any spot on earth affords. There is a herd of buffaloes grazing afar np the valley. There are deer in the groves. Throe or four wild horses are standing in the brook, while others are lying on the grass a few yards away. Bares scamper to and fro in playful mood, and there is nothing to frighten the most timid. The peaceful influence is so powerful that we hush our voices as we look down. In some awful convulsion of nature these grim mountains were heaved up from the bowels of the earth—grim, sterile, deeolate—landmarks of a mighty conflict of elements. At the same time nature created this valley as an offset. On the mountain are desolation and de spair; here are beauty and contentment. "Look there I" TUB BLACK CLOUD APPROACHING. Away np among the dark hills wo see a black clond rising up into tho clear .ikies. But for its blackness one might believe it a signal smoke made by the Indians. It is a clond trying to lift it self over the mountain from tho east side. It began forming fifty miles away, and it has traveled slowly and followed the windings of rivers and creeks, and exacted tribute from ponds and lakes; drops gills, quarts, barrels, tons —of water have been absorbed and lifted up as the cloud traveled, and the desolate mountains were magnets which attracted it from its first formation. The clond lifts itself up and up, and in , its st raggles it sways like a balloon. As it nears the mountains the vapors are condensed and become heavier, and as the weight increases the struggle be comes fiercer. There is no byplay of thunder and lightning; only a black menacing cloud fighting itself. Up! Up! Up! Ah! Heaven help them! There is nothing but animal life in the valley so far as we can see, but every on-looker utters a groan of despair as ho sees the cloud suddenly fall out of sight behind the peaks. What does that signify? It means that the clond could not lift itself high enough to clear the mountain, and that when its lower edge hit that tall peak on a line with us there came a cloudburst. The tons of water held in that big cloud foil to earth with a force you can scarcely conceive. Trees were made into matchwood. liocks weighing a thousand tons were whirled about Bowlders which a hundred horses could not pull from their beds were sent flying down the mountain side like marbles. Every handful of earth, every tree, shrub, vino, flower, every stone, rock, and bowlder which could have been moved only by the blast of a hundred pounds of powder is swept ir. one awful avalanche into the mouth of the valley! We hear the crash. We feel the mountain quiver under ns. We are warned of what is coming. Every liv ing thing below ns has heard the crash and felt the quiver. Inßtinct tells them what has happened and warns them to flee. In ten seconds every living thing in sight in the valley iB rushing down its length. Here and there a deer turns to the right or left and finds a place where he can ascend, and a big wolf scrambles np the almost perpendicular hank at our feet, and there lies crouching and whin ing in terror. A WILD KUSH POE LIFE. Look up tho valley. No man will ever see such a sight twice in his life time. There is a wall across the valley —a wall of roaring, tumbling, seething, foaming waters. Its height is eight or ten feet and its speed is that of a rail road train. The buffaloes were the fur thest up the valley. Watch them com ing. The herd numbers about fifty, and every animal runs for his life. Now buffalo, doer, wolf, horse and hare are coming in a wild mob, and close behind them that foam crested wave of death. Aa it reaches the trees they melt away. Aa it tears along the sides of the valley great rocks are loosened and carried along. The rush is led by a sorrel horse—his new coat shining like velvet—his eyes full of excitement—his ears laid flat back. He is 300 feet ahead of every thing, and we wave our hats and cheer him as he passes us. 801 l I Tumble! Foam! Crash! The waters are littered with trunk and branch and bush. The noise is deafening. The jower is »> great that the mountain is shaken. vVe clutch the bushes at our side and hold our breath as the wave strikes. * * • • * # It is over. Looking up the valley we see—what? Never a blade of grass or flower or bush or tree! Simply a track of desolation which nature cannot re store in a dozen years. Down the valley—the same sight Nothing left behind but rock and mud. A paradise has been turned into desola tion almost in the twinkling of an eye. Where peace and plenty reigned a quar ter of an hour ago is now a channel of ruin—a valley of despair—an acreage over which the wolf may prowl and the serpent crawl without finding food.— Detroit Free Press. When cue Augeiue TV;..5-.. One market day at Innspruck I was dining, and there was a party of farm ers at another table having their din ner. Tire church bell rang the Angel us. Then they all rose up, and, standing reverently, the oldest man in the party began the prayers and the rest rev sponded. And the women shopping were standing still in the market, and those at the booths selling stood also with folded hands, and the men had their hats off, and instead of the buzz of bargaining rose the murmur of the prayer from all that great throng.— Foreign Letter. Tnll«ji*nd'i Kcmark»ble Career. Talleyrand huia b<jen * dead fifty -two years. The first volumes of the memoirs he left are issued. He himself forbade their publication until thirty yearn after his death, and at that date his literary i executors found a further postponement | necessary. He was thought to be the depository of more secrets than any other man of his day, with greater power over the reputations of more men, living and dead. Naturally these memoirs were long awaited with a singular mixture of curiosity and alarm. The career these memoirs portray was and remains unparalleled in modern Enmpe f»r length and variety of dis tinguished service. Boginning with Louis XVI, from whom ho received his first appointment, and from whom he went later wi th a letter to the king of England, Talleyrand served in all eight known masters—besides a great number of others who were at one time or another said to have him secretly in their pay. He became president of the Constituent assembly which organized the French revolution. He was sent to London on a secret mission with a passport from Dan ton. He was minister of foreign affairs under the directory, under the consulate, under Louis XVIII and under Louis Philippe. In diplomatic skill and success contem porary public opinion held him the first inan of his period—that is to say, for half a century tho first man in Europe. As to real influence on affairs, it is doubt ful if any minister since can be said to have exerted as much, with the excep tions only of Bismarck and Cavour. Even they did not cover so wide a range, or deal with such a bewildering variety ol negotiations, extending over eo great a time, and furthering the views of sc j many masters.—Whitelaw Reid in Oen-: tury. Tattoo Marks Irremovable. It has often been claimed that tattoo marks may be removed by pricking over them goat’s milk. This is a mistaken ] idea. Chemists and others have for years experimented with various preparations in the hope of discovering some agent to j wholly remove india ink marks from the j human skin. Nothing, however, lias as | yet been found that will remove a j>or-! tion even of the objectionable marks, un less, possibly, the attempt lie made im mediately following the tattooing proc-! ess. At Mount Washington University hospital, Baltimore, an exjieriment was some years ago made in the presence of the writer upon tho forearm of a noted character of that city who died there. Before his death tho man granted jier missiun to the students of tho university to experiment as they Raw fit with his dead body. One of these Rtudents, curi ous to learn everything possiblo connect ed with the practice of tattooing, cut from the dead man’s arm a strip of skin upon which a coat of arms appeared. Be neath the skin the design remained visi ble. By degrees the flesh was removed, the design In india ink still remaining in sight until finally the bone was reached. After a thorough sponging for the pur pose of removing tho blood and pieces of flesh remaining, it was found that the representation still appeared. After cut ting away a small section of the bone the india ink mark was found to have not penetrated beyond.—Boston Commercial Bulletin. Knots on Troes. hi tho barks of our forust trees are contained a multitude of latent bnds, which are developed and grow under certain favorable conditions. Some trees possess this property in a remarkable degree, and often, when tho other parts are killed down by frost, the property of pushing out these latent buds into growth preserves tho life of tho plant These buds, having once began to grow, adhere to the woody layer at their base, and push out their points through tho bark toward the light. The buds then unfold and develop loaves, which elaborate the sap carried np the small shoot Once elaborated, it descends by the bark, when it reaches the baso or inner hark. Here it is ar rested, so to sjieak, and deposited be tween the outside and inner layer of bark, as can be learned on examining specimens on tho trees in the woods almost anywhere.—Science Gossip. Hard to Salt. People sometimes have good ground to complain of their grocers, and not unfreqnertly the grocers have reason (o complain of unjust criticisms ou the part of their customers. One Saturday evening, when there was quite a crowd of purchasers in a grocery in ouo of the suburbs of on eastern city, a gentleman came in in a blustering mood. “See here,” ho said to the proprietor, “that fancy creamery butter of yours tastes of the firkin.” “I don’t see how that can be,” an swered the grocer, “for I keep that but ter in glass jars.” “Weil,” said the customer sharply, “it tastes of the glass jar then." —Youth’s Companion. Antique Stage Properties. 111 “The Old Homestead” as it has been given at the Academy of Music in New York, and all over the country as well, an old fashioned New England clock a century and a half old is one of the stage properties; also a gun which was manufactured in 1735, and was used by Dentnau Thompson’s ancestors in 1776. The old wooden rocking cradle used in the last act of the play is over 180 years old, and has rocked six generations of Uncle Joshuas.—New York Ledger. A Limited Space. Customer—l am afraid the head of this hammer is too long to admit of a good blow-. I want to bang a pict ure— Hardware Clerk —For heaven’s sake, where do you expect to hang the picture —inside of the steam radiator? Customer—No; in the rear room of a Harleiu flat. —New York Evening Sun. Joe Jefferson is a slimly built man of medium size. His eyes are blue, his manner charming, and he is 60 years old. He takes a two hour nap every afternoon. Wave. 350 Fnt High. The waves that hurl themselves against “Lot's Wife,” one of the Mariana islands, drench it to its topmost pinnacle, about 850 feet above sea level. A tremendous surf sometimes runsat Baker island, even without any strong wind, or norbapn the wind blowing from a contrary direction. An unbroken wall of water twenty-five feet high and one-quarter of a mile long rolls in. threatening to deluge the island, and affording one of the grandest sights imaginable. These waves are said to be due to the southwest monsoon blowing strongly in the China seas, many miles away.—Chambers’ Journal, SCOTT’S emulsion sssssr 18 CURES I Wasting Eiesaseu Wonderful Flesh Producer.
