weft indicate the prevailing storm
to be the vyorst of the season. Its
area of operations is from the
lto'jkie? to Lake Michigan, but
Minnesota and Dakota are the
wort sufferers. On roads runniiiir
west from nere all freights ate
abandoned and passenger trains
only run at long intervals, though
every effort is being made to keep
them moving. At Huron, Dakota,
the blizzard tilled ihe air with a
blinding snow, so that business
men lost their way on the drive
from their homes to their offices.
In railroad shops whistles kept
blowing to give people out in the
storm their bearings. At Fargo
the. storm was the worst in eight
years, with the mercury at 47 de
grees below zero, and a hurricane
blowing. Jamestown, on the
Nothe-n branch of the Northern
Paeifie, is entirely plugged up. At
Pierre, Dakota, the wiiid is blow
ing sixty miles an hour and the
roads are blockaded. At Neiche,
Dakota. 53 degrees below zero was
reached.
IN WISCONSLV.
Milwalkee, Jan. 13. Specials
from the interior of the state show
that many cities are completely
shut off from railway communica

Su!erior no mails have been re
ceived tor tinny-six hours. Ihe
thermometer registered 27 below

4.raiHltpsu''U( lor War Morlt-s.
Hew ''age stea's on." Causcur
was in n un-tmvn streeet car a
morning or two s-inre, and next
him sat a man of perhaps thirty, ot
niagniticient physique and ps
cssing a mustache which the mo--t
dashing cavalry Colonel might con
vert. At his .idt- sat a bright little
boy about eight year-, apparently
on his way to school. They had
evidently had some talk about the
war. for th'- little fellow said :
'Papa, when was the tattle of
Antietain';"
"Why,n said the father, "I dnn't
know exactly, it was some time
in the eat ly part of the war.""But"
persisted the boy, "dont you rem
ember it. papa V "Remember it?
No, my boy, I don't. I couldn't
have more been than five years
old whhen it was fought Ask your
grandfather, he remembers it.'
And then Causeur fell into a
traiD of very serious thougt. Cao
it be that there are men grown,
with children old enough to at
tend school and ask question, who
don't know and apparently don't
care, when the battle of Antietam
was fought; men to whom the de
tails t the war aie as much a
matter of history as are the details
of the Mexican war to Causeur?
He was alive when they were fight
ing at Cerro Gordo, at Chapultepec
and at MoHdo del Ray,but which
of these fights W33 a victory for
jur side he has not at the present
moment tin leasf idea, nor does be
take interest enough in the matter
to look it up. But can it be that
we are getting so far away from the
memory of the war, the memory of
which war burned into us older
fellows, that there are grown men
who have not thought it worth
while to inform themselves in a
detailed way about it? "Age steals
on" indeed.
IHdea't Know He was Loaded.
A K street man met his daughter's
"hope" in the hall and materially
hastened his departure limping to
the parlor and sat down.
"I hope you didn't hurt Harry,
papa?" sobbed the daughter!
"No," fiercely replied the old
man picking his foot up and nurs
ing it. "n, I didn't hurt him : but
if he ever comes here again with
bricks in his coat-tail pockets I'll
kill him," and the girl smiled soft
ly tlnough Iwr tears.

The Colorada River Canal Com
pany have tiled their articles of
incorportation, and preparing for
business. The dam to be built
across the Colorado river is at a
point about twenty-five miles above
Yuma. The dam will raise the
water about fifteen feet, and water
taken out into two canals, one in
Yuma cuu y and the other iu San-Du-go
county. The' object in
damming the river is to have a
sufficient head that the canals can
at any time rid themselves of the
mud in the bottom of the water
ways: the main difficulty in di'ch
ing the Crlorado has always been
to..get.. ridpf the; sediment: this
plan will ttr.ioubtly be sncesst'ui.
and the water supply, being cap
abilities of this grand enterprise.
Congress will be asked to grant the
company a franchise, and !immedi
ately upon obtaining the right
work will be inaugurated. The
waters of the Colorado will be
used not only in Arizona, but also
in irrigating that magnificent
piece of country which extends to
New Water, Cal. At Stevenson's
island the head of the Arizona can
al will he taken out and the ire
giving liquid will be carried over
the thousands ot acres of land un
til the Gila river is reached, when
the water will be flu nied across the
Gila nd carried to the mag--nificent
lands below clear to the
Mexican line, and perhaps on
to the lovely fields of Sonera itself.
The canal will be a suce-s, and
through its agency will develop
this country int a veritable land
of oriental wealth and solid pros
perity. As stated before, the only
difficulty heretofore found in tak
ing out irrigating canals from the
Colorado has been the trouble in
managing the sediment, and this
ill be overcome by the plan pro
posed by the cnnal company. The
canals will irrigate some 1.500,000
acres of as fine land as the
sun shines upon land which wiil
produce wc lth enough for a nation
of people and build up immense
communities of iutell gent and
prosperous citizens.
TIIK III MA JAW.
It Cwvcfs 10? MllrH and Over I Sev
enty Years.
Philadelphia Xcws..
The noon-diy customers were
dropping out one by one from a
Sansom-street restaurant when a
dyspeptic-looking man vho sat at
the next table startled me by sav
ing: "Hive you any idea how
many miles a man's jaw will travel
in the course of his life, assuming
that he lives to be 70 years old?"
"Well. I never thought ot it,"
answered a young man who halted
in his wild career of beefsteak.
The dyspeptic man changed his
sHt and exposed a much soiled
piece of paper with some figures,
which he proceeded to exnlain:
"For the first ten vears a child's
! jaw wid go about fifty five incl e
daily, or 00,7."0 inches altogether
in a decade. From his tenth to
his twentieth year, what with
chewing fwod. gum and tobacco,
he will work his jnws for. say, four
hours a d iv. at an average of one
half of an inch per minute; that
would make in a day 120 inches,
or in ten years 433,000 inches.
During this time he will talK
about five hours a day, traversing
about three-fourths of an inch a
minute with his jaw; that would
give in ten years 822,250 inches to
be added to our former figures.
"For the next forty-five years he
will spend sixty minutes a day in
eating, when Ivj will open his
mouth one-half an inch a minute,
and seven hours in talking, when
he will average five eighths of an
inch; that is when vou figure it out
5,008,025 inches. "
"We now have our man sixty-
nve years o:a. 1'or the last five
years his. jaw takes a rest. He will
eat no more than thirty minutes a
day at one-half inch a minute, or
27,345 inches, and in talking the
distance traveled will not amount
to more than 338,500 inches. Now
for the total. If we add the vari
ous sums together we get 0,835,470
inches, and dividing by 63,380, the
number of inches in a mile, yau
find that the maxilary journey is a
distance ot 107 miles and a frac
tion." "That is certainly interesting,"
said the young man. Have you
ever calculated the same lip-trip
for a woman?"'
"My dear boy," came the slow,
sad reply, "life is short."

The civilization of he future

Mr. Ruskin's plan for regaining
Arcadia by the substitution of
moonshine and manual labor tor
gaslight and steam engines. Labor
saving machinery has come to stay,
and if steam should nor monopol
ize the rough work of the next
ceutury it is only because it will
share its functions with its twin
giant of electricity. We shall have
steam quarries and steam dig"-ino
machinery, and the speed of Travel
is destined to surpass the achieve
ments of the present age by just as
much as a modern express train
surpasses a mediteval mail coach.

It was a bashful youth who had
his girl out rowing at Bar Harbor
and was working his boat along
close to the shore, when an old
seaman took iu the situation at
once and shouted :
"I say, there, my bold skipner,
give up iiuggicg the shore and 'try
a little of it on the girl !"'
