to be Inquiry for hog product, and it ap
pear* to be on the increase. The tone of
the market was rather strong, showing
a slight advance. We feel very strongly
persuade dthat hog product has touched
the .owest prio?s, that wc will see again

Ella? B. Dunn, tho weather observer,
has been studying atmospherlo electricity.
Tho sergeant, as tboy used to call him,
tho farmer, as they call him now, said
that he will live to bco the day when elec
tricity, collected from tho ntmospbere and
stored by some means which an Edison or
n Tesla will have to devise, will revolu
tionize the world.
Tho prophet expects that cities will bi
lighted and heated by atmospherlo electric
ity; that railway trains and cars will bo
run, lighted and licatod by It; that coal
will become a curiosity; that steam beat
ing will bo granny talk to tho children of
the next gonoratlon; that tho telegraph
and telephone .companies will lose their
monopolies; that war will becomo a farce,
because n touch of electricity will mako.
tho British grenadiers or tho Gorman
Uhlans or tho Scotch highlanders alt
down on the cold ground powerless; that
even tho dreams of communication with
tho Inhabitants of Mnrs will bccomo real
ities, and that a man will bo able to strike
up electricity as bo docs a parlor match.
Thcro will bo no more trolloy strikes,
beenuso tlioro will lie no more trolleys.
Mankind will tup tho atmosphere for nl-
most every convenience or necessity, ex
cept food and clothing, and even tho cloth
ing will bo woven end tbo food cooked by
atmospherlo electricity. Street cleaning
will he ns easy as tho magician’s “Presto,
change!’’ and everybody will live compar
atively happy over after.
Mr. Dunn is sure that his Ideas are
practical and practicable. Thontmosphero
Is Ills constant study, and having Intro
duced general humidity to the public ns
the principal element In uncomfortablo
days ho has determined that tho most po
tent clement for good In tho air wo breatho
■hall no longer ho wasted.
"Why,” ho said, “the wholo atmosphere
U «r»3»Uz>fi w|th The CaitL, <w
Is well known, Is a storehouse ot electric
ity. That It passes from the clouds to the
earth we can see In every thunderstorm.
Earth Isn good conductor, especially damp
earth, and water Is tho best conductor pos
sible.
“Every person Is possessed of body eleo-
tricity. The vital force Is all In tho elec
trical power you contain In your body.
When tho day Is damp, you become weak
ened through tlio loss of your bodily elec
tricity, bccauso the atmosphere is n great
er conductor of tho eloctrlcal fluid than
your body, nnd consequently what Is In
your body will pass to this moist, damp
air.
“That Is the cause of that tired feeling.
This passing of the electricity to the at
mosphere enervates yuu to such a degreo
that a person In u naturally weak state
will collnpso or becomo much worse by the
loss ot this bodily electricity.
“The atmosphere being charged with
electricity, and the earth being n store
house for it, If there were soma controlln-
hie method of storago devised by which
you could draw oil a modernto amount uf
electricity at will and keep that force on
tap oil tho time, with an appliance by
which power could be generated—and
thcro Is no reason why that can’t bo done
—then atmospheric electricity would mako
all tho wheels in tho world go round.
“The coal barona would ho dona up,”
raid Farmer Dunn savagely, thinking of
tlio coal bill for his house In Brooklyn.
Thcro would bo no more need of cool.
Thcro ought to lie enough electricity In
the atmosphere to supply light nnd heat
as well as to do all the work oxccpt the
housework. I'm ufrald It won't du nwny
with the servant girl question, though It
will modify It. 1 expect to live to see the
dny of atmoepherlc electricity ou tap. It
will run everything on earth.
“Itiewcll known that there Is a greater
number of deaths in tho curly morning,
•ay from 1 a. m. to 4 a. m., than at any
other time. Dickens was aware ot that,
but ho didn't know the reason. You re-
member that poor old Pcggotty, In ‘Dnvld
Coppcrficld,' went out with tbo tldo.
That's right. Anil It Is In the early morn
ing, that the dally ebb of tho atmosphere
occurs, when tho dally atmospheric pres
sure Is least. If at that time tho atmos
phere Is in n state of saturation, very
heavily charged with humidity, then tlio
electric force leaves a person's body and
flows to tbe atmosphere, greatly debilitat
ing him whsn lie Is In a weakened condi
tion. Now, should a person In that state
bo kept In extremely dry eurroundlnis, so
tbut he could be furnished with an ado-
qunto supply of artlUela) electricity and
at tho same time bare the humidity re-
duoed, there would be, In my opinion, ■
gteatcr cbnnco of prolonging Ufo.
“If the doctors could provide mcana to
supply In such circumstances artiflclal
electricity Instead ot natural, It would
probably be very beneficial. Just think of
ltt Here we are, spending millions of dol
lars to generate elcotrlclty, when It is all
around us, nnd wonrobreathlngltl Here's
another thing: When n current of elco
trlclty Is generated, where doe* It got It
can't dio. It issomewbere. I should Judgo
that It is simply adding to the amount of
electricity In tho atmosphere.
“It !• natural to suppnae that as long as
the earth la given to us for useful pur
poses tbo atmosphere was not given for
nothing. Of course It gives us health and
breath, aa the earth gives us what we cat,
butslnca the atmosphere contains elec
tricity, and we can use the earth as a pow
er for carrying It, as la done by telegraph
companies, why not use the electricity In
tbe atmosphere)
"Once begin to use It, and there Is no
telling where It would end. War with at-
moepherlo electricity as a factor would
have to cease. Tho problem of signaling
to Mars would be solved. With atmos
pheric electricity In control we could
communicate with all the Inhabited plan
et*."—New York World.

CUBAN PECULIARITIES.
Some of tlio Curious Customs That Con*
front a Visitor to Havana.
Bon Stern, a New York theatrioal man,
tells some amusing incidents connected
with n visit he made to Havana.
“Talk about yellow fever," said Mr.
Stern, “you have It in Cuba. It Is full of
it. You bare to be Tery careful bow you
live, what you drink, and then you are
fortunate to escapa In tho hotels—such
as they are—you find marble floor* In
your room you will find a little rug near
your bed, and you are supposed to ttaml on
this rug while dressing
You are warned to keep off tba marbli-

are but a single story high. Tbe stive<

Spain’s way of doing business with her

country—I mean the native Cubans. Of
course, tho Spaniard* strictly speaking,
are more loyal. Unfurl an Amorlcan flag

“Tborulaaofthotheatcrnroquoor: You

bad a 320 box scat, you would havo to pay
an admission fee. Tbo system is full of
bother to tho patrons of tbo places of
amusement. There ere, I believe, about SO
newspapers printed In Cube, but only
about live attract much attention. All are
printed In Spanish. About tlio only Amer
icans you see are In ona hotel, and when
you lc.vro there you nre among tbo Cubans
entirely. Tho system of oollcctlng duties
Is very lax—full of temptations for brib
ery, which, I am told, Is one uf the worst
evils of the Island. The gpanlsh govern
ment bos everything of nn official character
under Its control, which makes Spain
hated all tho more. There Is really but
ono olty wherein theatrical attractions pay
—that Is Havana. It takes os long to get
400 miles Into tbe Interior ot tho Island
sometimes salt docs to go from hereto
Cuba. It la a great country In Its way."
—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Table Mats. *
Hero lsnectof three tea table mats. The
materials required are a quarter of a yard
of linen lawn, some honlton lac braid
and n few skeins of boniton laco silk.
The quarter of a yard of linen will make
three mat* each 0 Inches square.
First overcast each piece of linen neatly
all around tbo edgo and baste upon this
edge a row of tbe lobed braid, which, hav
ing scalloped edge* will make a pretty
finish for tbo mat* Buttonhole this braid
to the linen on the npperedgo. Next baste
a piece repreacntlng a spray of flowers up
on each corner, and with tbe honlton lace
silk buttonbolo it upon tbe linen. In
similar manner make a center design If
you desire one, though this seems super
fluous, as it never shows when tbe met Is
In use. When the stitching is done, turn
tbe mat, and with a pair of sharp em
broidery scissors cut aw«y the linen oov
cred by tbe lone, being careful not to cat
any of tbe lace stltche* When all are
done, place the mats under a piece of
muslin wrung out of borax water and
Iron until tbo muslin is dry.—Woman
