A curious phenomenon was presented in the northern heav ens shortly before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, says the morning Orcgoniau. Looking out of the window in the law offices of Nnnw v ,v :c amant mere an peared, looming skyward above the Kamm building, an exact reproduction of the Worcester block. Tli2 picture was com plete in every detail, giving a wonderful presentation of the building, suspended in mid air. Above it were ranged a series of floating clouds, to the left Mt. St. Helena could be plainly seen, while to the distant right Mt. Hood, in all the glory of it winter raiment, stood out boldly against the horizon. There seamed to be some pes culiar atmospheric conditions prevailing, and the mirage, as it seemed to be, held its place for twenty minutes, to the aston ishment and delight of those who were privileged to gaze noon -t. rlaa mere neen dui W V 1 . 1 i 1. 1 one to see it. his story could well be taken with mere than usual allowance, but the discov- erer of the mirage, losing confi dence in himself, crlled the at tention of others to the phenom enon, and, much to his relief, bund that he was not laboring under any form of optical illu sion, Uji.m t To q ictUr. t.ba"co ens! :! of life nerve n:A : ".

Feed him, clothe him, love him. He is a boy, and most boys are bad. You think him so light hearted, and fear he is light-headed as well. Remember, he calls you father. When he played in your lap you fondly hoped he would some day be a great and useful man. Now that he has grown larger, and his young blood drives him into gleeful sport, and makes him impatient of serious things, rattling, playful, thoughtless, you almost despair. But don't be snappish and suarlish, and make him feel you are disap pointed in him. He is your boy, and jou are to live with him. He bears jour name, and is to send it on down the stream of time. He inherits your for. tune and fame, and is to trans-, mit them to generations to come. It may be difficult to govern mm, but be patient, rle may seem averse to everything use ful and good, but wait. No one can tell what is in a boy. He may surprise you some day. Hope. Let him grow. While his body grows larger and stronger his mental and moral nature may extend and improve. Educate your boy. You may think money spent in that way is money spent in vain. 1 Here is nothing in him, he has no pride, no ambition. You don't kuow. No one can tell what is in a boy. Besides, there may be an unkindled spark, an un fanned flame, a smoulderiug fire, a latent energy, which the teach er's aid may stir, the association with books may arouse, develop, and direct, and thus start your your boy agoing .with such en ergy, that 110 power on earth could stop him short of the top most round in the ladder of fame. If you cannot educate him, let him educate himself. That will make him strong, a giant with whom none dare interfere. Such, are the best men in the world. The greatest benefactors of the race have stooped their shoulders to bear burdens, have carried hands hardened with labor, have endured the fatigue of toil. Many such are in our minds now. Labor conquers all things. The old Roman was right. We see it in a thousand instances. Labor makes the man. No boy ever came to be a man, the noblest work of God, without labor. This is God's great law ; there is a vivine philosophy in it. Let your boy work ; if he will not work, make him work. There is no prog- fress, no development, no out come, no true manhood without it. We must work. Father, be kind to your boy. Vre'knov what a mother will do. Thank God ! A mother's love, a mother's prayers follow us still ; and the memory of her anxious tears shall nevfr fade out during . the succession of years. Finally, but not least, pray for your boy. God hears prayer. Do the best you can. Commit all you cannot do to God and hope. Never despair, for no oue knows what is in a boy. Southern Farm. Memory is a little treacherous now and then, and causes one to forfeit some things worth remembering, un less one has an experience like that which came to Mr. D. E. East, Aloffatt's Creek, Va., who says "I had been suffer ing for years with a torpid liver and lound no relief until I took Simmons Liver' Regulator when I was entirely n pevedof my troubles. I never in tend bein? without Simmons Liver R-gu!ator." During the war Senator Bate, of Tennessee, was struck by half a dozen bullets and seven horses were shot under him..

A Vulcan storm period is central on the 3d, covering 1st to 6th. On the 1st moon is in apogee, and on the 5th at her greatest northern declination. The atmospheric tide following the moon will cause southerly winds and warmer weather, ending in stonns of rain and snow central about the 3d or 5th. On or about the date of full moon, the polar winds wilLmenceu a ..ght, when blow after gam the ascendency and a cold wave will rush southward over most of the country. On Sunday and Monday, the 9th and 10th, a reactionary storm disturbance is central on those dates. Hence cold will moderate, barometer will fall and more rain and snow will visit many sections on and touching those dates. Unsettled weather will prevail generally until moon passes the celestial equator, going south waid on the 12th. Much colder about the nth to 13th. Look for falling barometer, rising temperature and general tendency to rain or snow about Saturday, the 15th, to Monday,, the 17th. Heavy Winter wiuds will visit most parts of the land and sea at moon's greatest south declination and perigee on and about the rSth and 19th. If they are delayed until about the new moon, on the 23d, their violence will be increased. Iu either event, the high barometer and rush of Arctic winds from the Northwest, sure to follow, will send a dangerous cold wave over most of the country A mercury period is cenlral on the 26th, covering the 21st to 31st. Much cloudiness, with con slant tenden'cy'to rain, sleet and snow, will be; natural through out this Mercury period, but storms of marked extent and energy are apter to transpire during the blended force of the Vulcan period between the 25th and 29th. The blended" forces.of Mars, Mercury and Vulcan often precipitate the most destructive sleet storms and sweeping blizzards. Do not be caught un prepared for such probable dan gers from about Wednesday, the 26th, to Saturday, the 29th. The probabilities are that January will come to the close with high berometer, northerly winds and cold, fair weather prevailing over the greater part of the con tinent. FOUR BABES AT A BIRTH. Mrs. James Baker, living near Frankford, Del., gave birth. to quadruplets January 2nd. The mother and babies are doing well. There are two boys and two girls. Mrs. Baker is 40 years old and the wife of a we!Kto.do farmer 45 years old. She is the mother of eight healthy children. This is probably the first time that quadruplets have been born in that county.

Professor"Kid" McCoy Recounts His Ring Experiences. Mr. McCoy said that a fight er's eyes must be trained also, as well as his fists. Quickness to see and comprehend the mean ing of a movement by an adver sary, often saves defeat and some times wins victory. "How does a man ft el after he lias com blow falls upon him and he is giving as many ? He feels that he must win. As long as he can keep that feeling he is not defeated. He may be knocked down, but cares not as long as he is not knocked out. He may be coveied with bruises and may totter-to hi. feet and the edd- may be largely against him, but if his resolution to endure all and win remain with him he still has a fighting chance. The first solid blow is a stinger, and in some ways the most danger- ous." added Mr. McCoy. "It is r apt to cause anger, because an angry man is not clear-headed. After the first blow the others are not felt .so much. The fighter has settled down to work. Ho knows that he must t3ke as well as give punishment. What matter what comes, if the end be triumph ? Nothing else is to be thought of. This concen tration of the faculties produces insensibility to pain." More dangerous than the physical suffering, Mr. McCoy says, is exhaustion. Often cool'-headeed and determined prize-fighters are defeated by having the breath knocked out of them belore receiving many blows. The quick movements which must be made tire the muscles and "take the wind out of a fellow." McCoy's way is to save himself as much as he can, and to invite his opponent to weariness by offering delusive openings. This gentlemanly prize-fighter is proud ot the prowers of his left arm. Fre quently he wilV stand motionless while the other man is dancing about looking for an opening and tiring himself. All the time McCoy is figuring for an I opportunity to land a sledge hammer blow on the body of the other man in some spot where it will take away the breath. He can watch and wait and he profers quick fighting. All his watching is foran oppor tunity, Then, quick as a tiger's leap, that fatal left arm shoots out and the blow falls. McCoy also said that he inva riably expects more punishment than he receives. He ' never calculates on having an easy, time. His standard of endur ance is set very high. Nor does he miscalculate the skill and lasting qualities of the other man. When he was asked how a fighter felt after the contest, he replied : "That depends 011 the result." New Year Resolutions. Everybody knows ho v easy it is to make good - resolutions on the 1st of January and how easy it is to break: them on the 2nd, provided they last till then Making resolutions which are only to be broken is a bad cus torn. It is better that none should be in' de. But people of olden time used at the midnight be tween the two years to unbar the doors of their houses to let the old year out and the new year in. And so, without the undertaking ot vows too easily broken, a bar might here or there be taken down for the passing away of some old evil habit or purpose or thought. Everybody Says So.

It now appears that there is not so much suffering iu Klon dyke as was at first reported, and the report of Abraham E. Smith, United States ' Consul at v cioria, wnicn was macie pubs lie Dec. 28, announces that all the advices that reach there in dicate that the rush in 1S49 to California, and, later, to South Africa, will be eclipsed by the rush of gold-seekers headed fot the iikoii in the early months ot 1898. Consequently we may look for suffering that will be hard to eclipse next winter. "The crowd is coming not only from this continent," savs Consul Smith, "but from the Old World and the antipodes. The steamship Warn" moo, two weeks aro. brought nearly a hundred from Australia to this port, on their way to the Kldo rado. Agents from England have been here and are now here making contracts for housing three or four thousund gold seekers, and every hotel in Vic toria has contracts for all its rooms for portions of several months." Snow covers Klondyke region for the larger part of the year, though in July and August it is sometimes quite hot. In these months the thermometer some times shows 85 or 90 degrees. A prominent citizen of Nauai mo, whom Mr. Smith quotes says that last year, though -so hot, "the sun did r.ot thaw the ground, which is protected by a thick moss under the snow, which neutralizes the sun's rays. This moss is now cut off with the shovel. The miner then builds a fire, thaws out the ground 2 or 3 inches, au.f digs, and so on by relays. Every foot of ground has to be thawed out in this way. The ground is frozen 35 feet, down to bed rock, and it is impossible to dig or work a pick therein." FORFEITED THEIR BONDS. Cannon and Hall Conspired Against Virtue of Cannon's Wife. When the case of Joseph Can non and E. Guy Hall, the con victed conspirators against the virtue of Cannon's wife, at Nor folk, Va., was called in the Cor poration court on the 3rd inst., for renewal of their bonds pend ing their appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals, they failed to appear. Their bonds, which are in the sums of $5,000 each, were declared forfeited, and ca paise's were issued. Cannon is known to be in Canada, and it is said that Hall lef: for New York Saturday night. It is ru mored that Hall is bound for the Klondike gold fields. Do YouUse It? It's the best thing for the hair under all circumstances. Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, Just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour ished. But the roots must be there. If you nsh your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hairtise Ayer's Hair Vigor. COLORED REVIVAL MEETING. An Illinois Gentleman Describes a Typical Scene at a Negro Church in the South. A gentleman Illinois gives a brief description of colored revival meeting that h attended in the South, accompa nied by some friends. lie says "The church was surrounded bv a dense mass of black beings but a way is made for us through the crowded street sidewalk anc vestibule to our seats. We wait 1 i.M . cu until 7:45 ; uie sermon ny Kev. Spruill was over, the song of invitation had been snug, a few straglers had asked for prayers. Two brethren prayed, a verse was sung, a brother ex hortcd a few minutes until his voice began to take on that sing song tone, he clapped his hands and began to sing, 'if religion was to buy, the rich would live, the poor would die.' Every man arose, the bugle notes had sounded the call, the battle was on, the conflict was fierce. Their bodies swayed back and forth, while voices rose higher and higher. Suddenly a brother gives a shout, begins to pat ju per, shouting, talking and sing ing. A sister steps forward and begins to chant and dance. The column forms down one aisle up another, they halt before some well-known sinner, the groans, the exhortations, the lamenta tions, the shrieks 'Down goes a convert ;' he is picked up, carried into the body of the church. This is repeated until 24 are placed together. Then 1 the shouts of exultation, the cries to Heaven for mercy, you can almost see Abraham offering ' his sou Isaac as a sacrifice. Sud denly the pastor s'eps forward and lines a hymn, while all sing. Louder he lines and louder they all sing, until you think Babel has broken loose. A seeker leaps into the air, falls prone on the floor. The shouts of victory arise, the cries for mercy increase. You look upon a sea of black faces turned to the ceiling, roll ing their eyes until they look like eggs. They shout, sing, pray, stamp, pat and dance the entire congregation standing swaying back and forth. Suddenly a sister rises above the heads of all ard comes down, looking like a parachute, into the arena. The shouts of victory increase, the cries for mercy are more intense. Some seeking brother begins to pray, the people again begin to move up one aisle and down another, shouting, singing, praying and groaning. The women crone, a brother cries out, 'jump on board the train the shouts increase, a sister calmly arises, walks around and begins to shake hands. She has 'come through,' and the ju. bilee begins. We bow our heads and pass out into the open air. The black does not rub off, but you can taste it as it sails around the room iu large blocks. How's Th in?
