It's a Popular Delusion That r the Climate is Changing By Willis X; Moore, Chief U. S. Wathf Bufe&u. RUTHFUL. and Intelligent men ' are wottt to declare 4hat they know from personal recollection that the climate of Tthelr par ticular places of residence had changed since they were boys; 1 th.it they had reliable landmarks to show that the streams were drying up; that the precipitation was growing less, and that 'the winters were becoming milder, notwithstanding f the fact that i carefully taken observations of temperature and rainfall for each day for the previous hundred years ' at their place of ; residence showed no alteration of climate. Of course, .wide -Variations, sometimes extending over . periods of several years, had occurred; but a deiicJt at one time was made up by an -excess at another. Tq be sure, changes must have taken place during geologic periods, but these have been so slow that it is doubtful if man in his civilized state has. occupied the earth long enough to discover an appreciable quantity. Quite accurate records of the opening of navigation in Europe and of the time of vintages for 500 years show no change in the average data 'of the first ten years as compared with the average of the last ten. The date palm, the vine, and 'the fig tree flourish as luxuriantly to-day in Palestine as they did in the days of Moses. Dried plants have been taken from the mummy cases of the Pharoahs exactly similar to those now growing in the "soil once trod by those ancient monarchs. jg? American FSre Fighters i Are the Best m the World By Philip G. Hubert, Jr. HEREVER the American goes in Europe, it is with a feeling of sat isf actionthat he finds, in the more important cities, the adaptation of our ideas for fighting fire. Our steam fire-engines, our brass , poles that bring men down from the upper stories of their station-houses, our hinged collars that snap around the horses' necks at a touch, are everywhere. At every important interna tional exhibition of recent years, beginning even with that of Paris in- 1867, American fire-engines and ladder-trucks have taken prizes. At the Paris Exposition of two yeaVs ago an American fire-team from Kansas City, fourteen men under Chief George C. Hale, carried off all the most important honors at the International ; Fire Con gress; at which were represented America, Prance, Portugal, Holland, Norway, I'olgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Germany, Turkey, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, New Zealand, India, Austria,-Mexico and Peru. Nearly 80Q0 firemen took part in the competitions. The. first contest was made with steam fire-engines, on the banks of the Seine. About 100 engines competed. The t?st was made from cold water in the . boiler. The average time for foreign engines in getting a stream from the hose was from eight to twelve minutes. Their streams reached about half way across ; the river. In five minutes and thirty seconds the American engine threw a stream that wet-people on the opposite bank, a distance of 310 feet. The size of the sireaui was nearly double that thrown by the other engines. From "Fire- Fighliag To-day and To-morrow," in Scribner's." ' .. Tell W 15 . I THE. WELL'S SECRET.

My soul ias seared like. sin to see the falsehood of the place" And 4he . innocence that mocked me, while in dim, unseen recesses There were lurking fouler secrets than the furtive reptile face. But one day 1 stood beside it on a sud den, unexpected, "When the sun . had crossed the valley and a shadow hid the place; And I looked in the dark water saw my pallid cheek reflected And beside it, looking upward, met an evil reptile face; And since then oh, why the burden?- when joyous faces greet me, With their eyes of limpid innocence, and words devoid of art, I can net tfust their seeming, but must ask What eyes would meet hie Could I look in sudden silence at the secrets bt the heart! John Boyie O'Reillyj THE REFORM .MOVES. jetweenthe United States and' New foundland was signed by Secret "y pHay aud Sir Michael Herbert, the British Ambassador. omen the Truth. By Helen Oldfleld. RIXCIPALLiY the cause of what "is called woman's unreason ableness is the direct result of her not being told the truth. Half the time a woman does not know how she stands to face a problem, because she cannot get a man to tell her the. simple facts in' the case. He will say all sorts of soothing things to her and mislead her with rosy hopes, and he will try to make up by the fervor of his compliments for the lies he is telling her, and so she goes blundering along, mating all sorts of mis takes, tha)t she might have been saved from if anybody had liaa tno courage to tell her the truth. A curious example of this once came under my own observation. A man died, l?aving his widow without any means of support. His friends, in the most tTelicate way in the world, provided for her, and began exerting themselves to get sojntMK-cupation for he$ by which she could support herself. Place after l.uacea was oirerea, put sne scorniuny rejected, every one. "Dtd you ever hear of anything so unreasonable in your life,' cried the men to each other, "not a penny in the world, actually living on charity, and won't do a thing!" Finally in a gust of passion one of the men blurted out to the woman the naked truth that her husband had died absolutely bankrupt, find that his friends had been providing for her. The woman was Aghast. She had never an idea of the real state of affairs, and the minute she knew, the; truth she accepted the situation with a courage, a philosophy and a determination to make the best of it that fairly astonished every one. So far as business women are concerned, the chief enemy to their progress is man's fear of telling them the truth. A man who has a clerk who falls into careless ways, or has some annoying fault, will talk to him plainly and give Lira a chance 'to correct it before he dismisses him; but he will not give a girl the same chance. He won't tell her the truth about her faults. He will make an excuse about business being bad. and then turn her off rather than speak tco truth to her. How many times has that happened in our big cities! Girls know. Another thing and I don't know a more pathetic thing is that the whole world seems banded together to deceive women about the real facts of working Now there's plenty of work in the world for every industrious and intelli gent girl, but it's nothing short of a crime to make her believe that there Is auy set-rich-quick way to fortune; and I never read any of these romances about picturesque modes of getting a living that fails to arouse in me a righteous contempt ror tiie authors of such stories. sticisih is Increasing in This Practical Age By. Ralpn JM. McKenzie." HE hunger displayed by' all classes of people for literature of a mystical or esoteric character is beyond the belief of any. one not connected with the sale of books or period icals, or not- in touch with the work of public libraries throughout the country. . This includes fortune-telling by cards, palmistry," . astrology, the phenomena of . hypnotism, suggestive therapeutics,- spiritism, mind reading, faith cure, theosophy and everything connected with the' divining of v. the future or the mystical or occult in mind, "matter or religion. v . Many periodicals treating of these various subjects are published now in many languages, and the circulations of some of them have increased wonderfully. A curious phase of the subject is the fact that particular ar ticles in these periodicals attract wide attention, and" are often quoted and discussed in coteries which are not usually supposed to be Interested In matters beyond the domain' of the five senses. Some; of these magazines in the' labraiT-of ; Congress are kept under lock: and key.- and only given out for reading to , linown persons upon card, because the temptation to cut -or mutilate" certdm .select portions of the text seems to be too great for those of less than ordinary, will power. Of course, there Is much of this literature of distinct value, especially such as relates to psychology m any direct or indirect wav; A great deal of it is ethical, and Is of no value as moral instruction or teaching. A great deal of it is obscure, and. some . ox it is almost as unsatisfactory to the in telligent reader as a chapter 6f Paracelsus or any of the old alchemists of searchers after the elixir of life anil the philosopher's stone: .tTCvph the many volumes devoted to palmistry may be said to have a raison d'etre out- fide of their more or less fabled value as a means of divining the future. They serve, perhaps, to draw the attention, of ; people .to' their hands and to secure for them -better care and more cleanliness. The cause wiiiclT more than all else has led to. a great revival of interest in this class of literature is, of course, the wonderful spread in the belief in spiritism and : the consequent deduction that the spirits must needs know something of the. future of mortals and can be depended upon in some vague- way to communicate -this knowledge to the material world. Some look to .the "clairyOyanMis the most J reliable source of this supposed, spirit knowledge of the individual's luture: others 'depend upon the reader of cards, the reader .- of palms,- or the reader of the stars.. Bnt it can all be reduced to the one. cause the yeaininsr-of man for Immortality and for knowledge of the future years of his-present stateNew York News. The forward march of the temper ance reform is well Indicated by a paragraph written for the Central Christian Advocate, by Rev. James A. Hall, as" follows: "An old man, who had reached his 91st year, stood in my pulpit in tra of my charges to deliver a temperance . lecture. Beventy-nve years ago h said, 'I asked a large audience that had gathered to hear me 6p6ak, 'How many Of ytiu think it right to use spir ituous liquors in your families, and how many of you are in the habit of using them more or less as a bever age?' and nearly every man, woman and child in that large audience stood up boldly and confidently. I asked it again fifty years ago,' said the old man, 'and there were a few who did not rise; they kept their seats for the sake of their convictions and with stood the gaze of the standing, smiling crowd. Forty years ago,-' he said, 4I asked it, and now here and there, dot' ted all over the house, there stood a man or a woman, who had gotten up timidly and were looking around as If surprised that they should be alone. I ask it again today, and there is not a man or woman in this audience who would stand on the proposition.' And so in like manner I myself this morn ing might ask it, and- there is not a business man, who values his reputa tion in the eyes of this community, or his financial standing on the market, or the confidence of his creditors, who would stand up and declare himself for rum. And there is not a young unmarried man, who cares anything for his matrimonial prospects, who would dare stand up; for there is not a respectable woman In the city in whose eyes the act would not dis count him an hundred per cent. And indeed would not the very fellows who steal around to the dives In town and keep beer in their cellars mark him as a failure, and taboo him when they in vited their guests to the debut o their daughters? Ah, yes, we have moved on! The walls are still standing, but there are great rents in them! Tho enemy is still bold and arrogant, but he is at bay f All great revolutions are slow, and often most discour aging. The French revolution mut tered and . struggled for many years before the1 tyranny of class was broken. And in our own country the wrong that was expiated in the, civil war grew bid amid the protests of the public conscience." Mrs. Stevens Re-elected. Mrs. Lillian Stevens was re-elected president of the National W. C. T. U. The past year shows a record (and only sixteen states gave figures) of 26,260 evangelist meetings, 14,485 vis its. 5.268 Dledges. 1.066 conversions The .banner states are New York and Missouri. NEED TEMPERANCE REVIVAL. Poverty is the cause. of most of the drunkenness that afflicts the race. And drunkenness is the cause of much pov erty. It should be the aim of every friend of temperance, therefore, to give his cordial sympathy to all ef forts to abate" poverty. But social changes that affect the material, con ditions of the masses of men come about slowly, and while these changes are progressing it is not a waste of energy to view the average man and woman as a free agent and to urge upon him and her the duty and advan tage of letting alcohol alone. That method, though it does not promise the elimination of the drink habit from society, at least makes cer tain the savings of many men and women. It is doing good in detail, while wait ing for larger causes to produce wholesale results. Therefore the Journal believes that a pressing need of the country is great temperance revival" relying chiefly upon the personal appeal. Thousands of pledge-signers would be rescued- from drunkenness and more thousands prevented from be comic g drunkards. And an assured consequence of such a revival would be to guide public thought to the temperance question as a whole, and so advance the cause in those wider and deeper aspects which involve legislation, not only upon the liquor traffic directly, but upon the industrial conditions which are responsible for poverty.

DEAN FARRAR'S TESTIMONY. Dean Frederick W. Farrar, the world famous preacher and author, took the temperance pledge for the following reasons: First I become convinced that the use of alcohol in any form was not a necessity. . . Second I was struck by the indis putable fact that in England 20,000 in habitants of our prisons, accustomed to strong drink all their lives, and the majority of them brought into prison directly or indirectly by it, could be, and were, absolutely deprived of it, not only without loss, but with entire gain, to their personal health. Third I derived from the recorded testimony' of our most eminent physi cians that the use of alcohol is a subtle and manifold source of dis ease, even to thousands who use it in quantities conventially deemed moder ate. Fourth Then the carefully-drawn statistics of many insurance societies convinced me that total abstinence, so far from shortening life, distinctly and indisputably conducted to longevity. -Fifth. Then I accumulated proof that drink is so far from being requi site .to 'physical strength or Intellec tual force that many of our greatest athletes, from the days of Samson onward, have achieved without alco hol mightier feats than have ever been achieved with it.

This competing railroad, with the important connections with the East and "South that it would have at Ruth erfordton, would be a tremendous ad vantage to Asheville, and It Is thought that no difficulty will be found in promptly interesting the people of the city to the extent set forth in the above petition. The proposed railroad will be about 40 miles, long ,from Rutherfordton where there are important railroad terminals to Asheville by way of Hickory Nut Gap. The road f rojn Rutherfordton to Asheville, it is believed, will of itself fce a profitable investment, and this be lief on the part Of those interested in the undertaking is based on several months' careful investigation. Dr. Lambert himself has been busily en gaged for two or three months in col lecting data that would be of service In the, promotion of the enterprise. Many of the most prominent business men of this city have for years looked with expectant interest to the building of this competing line, regarding it as the most feasible route over which to secure to Asheville a second railroad connection with the outside world, and these men have assured Dr. Lambert of their confidence and. cordial support in his undertaking.

The experience of two young Amer icans who recently spent , six months traveling through Japan, China and the Philippines for tho purpose of soliciting trade affords good evidence that there is much commerce to be secured by Americans if it is proper ly sought. These young men studied the Chinese language in San Fran cisco and acquired a sufficient knowl edge of it to make themselves under stood. They had, therefore, the great advantage of being able to do busi ness directly with their Chinese cus tomers. As it was their first trip to the Orient they did not bring a. largo variety of samples, but the results have been so encouraging that they propose to return equipped with an erlarged outfit. The method pursued by these young men is worthy the at tention of our manufacturers.
