tt.tesmlnglra) >*Hl CaMlHl In Itop. Tli* prnfctefit survival of weather low In titan dm of Intellectual emancipation Is not at nil remarkable when we con* rider the extent to which the vulgar Bay ing* embody real truth*. A few yean ago lfamra. Abercromby amt Marriott embarked on an extremely Interesting Inquiry with a riew to determine.-by . actual comparison, Itow far the popular ' proverb* express rotations or sequences, which tiro results of meteorological science show to bo real. The Investiga tion proved that something like n hundred of the more popular saying* are, under ordinary conditions, trustworthy. Such being tiro case, wo need not be surprised * that simple country folk prefer familiar couplets to oil tiro “Isobars, “ ‘•cyclones" and “synchronous charts” In the world. If “hills clear, rain near,” means tho same os “the presence of a wedge shaped ' area of high pressure, accompanied by great atmospheric visibility, is likely to bo followed by tho advance of a disturb ance with rain and southerly winds,” which for all practical purposes it does, tbo preference is justifled on tho mere • ground of breath economy. The thirty- one words demanded by eoience stand no chnnoe against four. But It is unfortunate that, along with tho limited number of folk-sayings founded on truth, tliero has survivod a error. M 'niwo latter havo borrowed cro- denco and respect from tho proved credi-' bUity of tho others, and apparently they aro oil destined to sink or swim together. Hammer as we will at certain favorite proverbs which wo know to bo based upon error, It is all in vain. Tho rovor- enco for tradition is too much for us. And of all tho superstitions, pure and simple, which defy our' attempts at de struction, the most invulnerablo ore those ascribing certain effects to tho influence of tho moon.—John Westwood Oliver in Popular Scienco Monthly. South raeUle Island Products. Both Now Britain and New- Ireland are exceedingly fertile. Every tropical prod uct can bo raised horo with success. The inhabitants havo abundanco of provisions in tho shapo of bananas, taro, yams, swcot potatoes,' bread fruit and cocoa- nuts, but very little fruit, although tho latter is bring introduced by the mission aries and traders. Unlike most other volcanic islands In the Pacific, there is no rooky soil to be found here; everywhere it is a deep, rich vegetable loam. In most tropical countries the soil has to bo doored of a thick growth of jungle be fore cultivation becomes possible; here nothing but long grass obstructs the efforts of tbo agriculturist Cotton, cof fee, sugar cano and tea could bo raised with littlo troublo, yet there are probably not 100 acres of these products in culti vation In the entire group, tbo great drawback to oommeroe hero being the scarcity of cheap labor, for no native will work for another for any length of tlrno unices well paid with tho highly prized divara.—Son Francisco Chronicle. To Save Life Frequently require* prompt action. An boar's delay waiting for the doctor may especially in coses of Croup, Pneumonia, and other throat and lung troubles. Itcacor np fatally should be without a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which haa proved Iteelf, in thousande of canoe, the beet Emergency Medicine over discovered. It give* prompt relief and prepare* tho way for a thorough cure, which la certain to bo effected by its continued us*. S. It Latimer, M. D., Mt. Vernon, Ga., ray*: " I have fonnd Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral a perfect core for Croup in all cases. I have known the worst cases relieved In a very short time by its tiao; and I advise all families to use it in sud den emergencies, for coughs, croup, &c." A. J. EUlson, M. D., Middletown, Tenn., says: “I havo used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral with the best offect in my practice. Tills wonderful prepara tion once saved my Itfe. t lm<l a con stant cough, night sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh, and given up n,v my physician. One bottle aud a half of the Pectoral "cured me.*’ “I cannot say enough In praise of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,” writes K> Iiragdon, of Palestine, Texas, "believ ing ns I do that, l>at for its use, I should long since have died.” Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, rxtapABKD nr Dr. J.

Tho number of deranged people trying to gain access to tho emperor of Germany is remarkable. Hardly a day posses without such an occurrence. Tbo other day two such unfortunates entered the palace simultaneously. It was a man and a woman. The latter was the wife of a poor boateman, asserting that she was a near relative of the emperor’s and had to see him after years of absence. The man was well dressed, with a look of distinction about him, and a flow of white liair on hia head and long whiskers, altogether a venerable looking, sympa thetic llguro. He said he had engaged to marry the daughter of the king of Italy, and being a German and a subject of/tho emperor bo had to obtain his majesty’s permission before perfecting tho mar riage. Both persons were taken to the insane ward of tho Hospital of tho Charito at Berlin.—Foreign Letter. Knlelinaok* In Wood. Early in tho present year tho mania for knicknncks in pale shaded and painted woods took a firm hold of Paris ians, in 'whoso gay city tho idea origi nated. At ftrst theso productions were very crude, but that tlieic tilings were fancied was sufficient to lead to many improvements in tho various colors and varnishes used In this method, which is known as tho “verms Martin process," until now the work accomplished is really artistic. It is not Ukriy, either, that it will ever becomo very common. Tiro work requires great care and pa tience, and if these bo not exercised it will bo sure to result in failure. Great skill is not called for. Anyone fairly clover with tiro brush may undertako tho work without fear.—Philadelphia Even ing Telegram. Discarding Rubbers. The fashion of discarding rubbers in wet weather and having tho shoes oiled instead was sot by tho police, letter car riers and car drivers, and is now being followed by thousands, whoso feet are in jured by wearing rubbers. Those who lm-o to face a winter out of doors ,nnd wno complain that rubbers pain or cripple them, unite in declaring that to keep tho feet warm and dry it is only necessary to wear shoes a size or two too large, oil them and nut in a felt or cork igsolo under a woolen stocking.—New , york Sun. * Study of tbo Scripture*. . The study °f tiro Scriptures as a literary fad which. was begqp bysomo seekers after new things has not developed tho social Interest that was expected; but one person is spoken of who, having taken to the study of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures from tho merest cu riosity, luu developed a new interest in the Christian religion. ~Bo«ton Criui- STEAMEItS CAllONDELET, , EVANS, SAN ANTONIO, WILDER, , STATE OF|TEXAS, WILLIAMS.
