Ileginniiii: of Our I nilerstauilins of Storms, In tho yctr 18'.' I a severe storm pre vailed along the Rasteru coast, which for many years was known as the "great September gale." It held that title until September, iMi'.', when an other and more reinarkablo ono oc curred, which rather disturbed its claim to tho honor. It was a littlo time after this first storm that Red lield, while making a j iiinicy in Massachusetts;, was struck by a some what curious fact. He noticed that in Massachusetts the trees prostrated by the wind, all lay with their heads to the southeast, showing that the gale there was from tho northwest; but in Connecticut the trees blown down in the same storm lay head to tho tiorthw'c-t, showing that tho gale had been a southeast one. Ho ascer tained, moreover, that when Ihe wind was blowing southeast in Middle, town, his home, it was northwost at a place not seventy miles from there. It was then that the idea flashed across his mind that the gale was a progressive whirlwind. That was a great thought. It was such a flash of perception as caino to Newton when ho connected tho falling apple with the planets in space. It was such an insight into tho meaning of a fact as James Watt had when he saw lha possibilities of the force that was rattling tho lid of the kettle on bi mother's lire. The development of that idoa was destined one day to put Redtield in the ranks of the great scientific thinkers of bis day. He made this storm tho basis of his in. vestigatious, following bis researches into its movements: by a careful col lection of facts in relation to others like it. For ten years ho studied, nnd examined and compared his facts, be fore bo published bis theory of storms. Popular Science Monthly.

Tho Queen went on for an instant w ith the morsel which she was hold ing in her lingers and then said: "You are right, my dear. An English lady would not take a chicken w ng in herlin-jers, but you must hoar in iniiid that I am a (.erman woman. " And she calmly finished the wing.

If yon have contracted a "cold," of ' "iirso you want to get rid of it as soon as possible, says a doctor in the New Yotk World. When tho lit t-t symptoms, which have been described, manifest themselves is the lime for action, and this should consist of a hot mustard foot-bath beforo going to bed and a hoi draughl of milk. The covoi ing of the body should be linen and wool, the former in the way of tho sheet and the latter in the blanket. .no attempt to get up an active sweating should be made. The foot bath and Ihe warm drink will give a sense of warmth and facililalc tin: natural excretion of materials which should pass away by the fckin, ami any effort to aggrcwi'e this w ill be not only superfluous, but harmful. The blanket should never be worn next to the night robe, and should not be so thick as to confine the air ncx to the body. It is, indeed, often ad visable to lighten the covering of the feel, and to preserve a certain amount of weight over the loins, and lo have tho shouldeis protected from the ex ternal surroundings' in general. The last measure is not to be under rated; n sensitive lung carries with it susceptibility to tako to itself every thing that could possibly atlect it lo its detriment. I. ting diseases belongs to sensitive persons, and may or may not be the sequence of a "cold." The majority of Ihetu, however, can be traced to imprudence ill dress and ex posure.

If one of your ancestors died of a lung disease, you should he more than Usually cautions about the clothing of vottr chest and back.

No t lii iiir is more fallacious than tho belief that health is promoted and life prolonged by air in excess, and this is ptoved by tombstones. There aro a few good remedies which appeal to us as matters of tra dition. ( tor grandparents u-ctl them with effect, and we might follow thoir example without injury. One of these is sassafras lea, another is boncscttca, and another is senna tea. Much has its i (lire, and each is of value in its peculiar line, and at the same time harmless. It would be superfluous to give di rections for their use, for every one knows about them and what grandma has believed of their efficacy. These teas aro good and may benefit you in t illf of "colds." Forest Fires nnd Mosquitos in Alaska. Miles and miles of blackened stumps marked the ravages of Ihe foiest tires.

These forest Mies and the mosquiios account for Ihe scarcity of e:iiio. Over the vast untravelcd rc eion that we visited, there was a te lo.ikalilo scarcity of wild animals. We -aw only a few ground-squirrels and some grouse and ptarmigan. Tho Indians say that all the larger j animals retreat in summer to the hill tops, where, exposed to a constant breeze, they aie free from the tor. j incuts of insects. At our camp for the night on a grassy knoll, tho mosquiios and other , flies were in greater numbers and ; more ravenous thin we had ever pre viously experienced tlieiu.

While attached to a military expe dition against the simtx in Wyoming in ls?7, 1 saw those Indians construct at the various camps wo made what I take to be Ihe most primitive form of i house built by hitniau liauds. It was j simply a shelter, or tepee as they called it, mudo with tho green boughs I tit f ret j the cottonwood trees. Willi- j out any especial pir, nratioii of tin. ground, they implanted the cut ends of the limbs iu two parallel rows about tight fed long and live feel apart. The tops were adroitly bent over the. inclosed space ami fas'ctieil together along the middle line, thus creating a semi-cylindrical shcltei j open at both ends. Thcs-' tepees were merely intended for two or three inetl to sleep in, all the cooking and other arrangements being performed out- side. In permanent summer camps these tepees are built iu a sub-iiciiiiphci ical shape, the ground upon which they are built being cleaned off, moderately scooped, out, and the earth thus ob tained banked around the iu-siuck ends of (he boughs on the inside of 1 1 1 o strui'iure. They arc then trimmed up and properly covered outside with long prairie grass, so placed as to shed the rain. Qi'tcu, too, they threw nv old butlalo hide over the top as an ad ditional protection.

How to Make un Egg Dance. I'or the boy who loves to play ma gician and to keep the wholo faiuilj rutin ailed by his remarkable foati here is a new trick, that of making an egg dance: Placo a hard-boiled egg upon the underside of a smooth, but dull not polished tray. Movo tin tray around and around horizontally, gradually increasing in speed. Tin egg. resting in the middle of tho tray, is carried around and around by tin movement and gradually begins to rc voivo on sis own axis, faster and fast, er, till at last it is seen to rise on eu and spin a wav just as a top would do In all experiments involving egg balancing you will tiud it a material aid to success to keep ihe egg uprigh! in the saucepan while it is beinj boiled. The air chamber will in sucl case be kept central with the longei axis of the egg, which will, in conse quence, bo much more easily bal anced. To set the egg spinning as described! demands practice, not to mention sonit strength, and, still more, address. I'or the benefit of those who are am. bilious to succeed at the first attcmp' we indicate a simple plan of pro cedure.
