COMFORT-HOTAND COLD. ,
It Is to Ho Found l.i tho. ItellfCtlim That
Tlterit Are Worse CilinutuN
Which is tlie very hottest region l)f
the fflobe is disputed warmly somitiines
by travelers. The thermometer will not
decide in the sense we refer to, says tho
London Standard, because local condi
tions have such preat inlluenec on our
fooling of misery. Those, who have
been quartered at Aden would 1not al
low that any spot on this upper earth
can be more awful than that, lint' un
fortunates who have dwelt in Hcindc
mock the terrors of Aden. Visitors to
Hushire, in the Persian gulf, talk light
ly of Seindc; and Russians assert that
there arc districts in central Asia more
terrible than all three. One would in
cline to believo them also, if only it
were proved possible to live through a
summer in heat more cruel than that of
Keinde, for instance. Americans also
put in a claim for their great desert.
One thing is assured that the famous
Sahara does not approach any of those
mentioned, in some parts of Seindc
necessity taught the inhabitants ages
ago to invent an apparatus for cooling
their rooms, which we were glad to
adopt under the name "windsail."
As for the actual heat in the severest
climates, persons otherwise trustworthy
will give astounding reports. We have
heard responsible ollieers of the old Inr
dian ilotlla avouch that they have seen
the glass register 21)0 degrees in the sun
at liushire. It was a long time ago,
however, and there lies their excuse.
Perhaps ISO degrees has been recorded,
for a brief space, under peculiar cir
cumstances. Hut when 1110 degrees is
passed every fraction becomes horribly
perceptible. Ten degrees above this is
not uncommon. The,eoolest place to bo
found at Shikarpur sometimes has been
140 degrees. Hut 1 'JO degrees in tho
shade may be regarded as the tempera
ture of the very hottest climates in the
world when no wind blows. Fancy
that as a minimum, for forty-eight
hours at a stretch. At Sakkur the
year round, mark residents endure a
minimum of !)7 degrees; happily there
are very few whites among them. Put
this is iti a time when no wind blows;
and winds are the rule from .March to
July. There is the Suk. whi'-h rises,
as s::ientiil.: persons allege, in the Kaehi
desert; but ordinary mortals will not
be persuaded that it litis its origin in
the upper world. All life with'Ts be
fore it. lint there is worse. The bad-i-biinoon
kills outright everything it en
counters; not only that it, burns up
tis tne and cartilage, so Hint the limbs
etin be pu'le l asunder when the storm
has passed by. Of course it is rare and
brief and very narrow in its track.

fhs Queer and Time- Honored Institution
of a Badenese Town.
The little town of Stuckach, in Baden,
which has barely 2,000 inhabitants, en
joys the peculiar title of "Deutschland'i
Narrcn Kcsidcnz" that is, the German
court (or capital) of fools, saysCassell'a
Sa' irday Journal. Tho namo originated
in tho privilege accorded to tho town by
letters patent, and exercised for cent
uries, of holding annually at carnival
time a publio fool's assizo, at which all
the follies committed by the people of
the town and vicinity wero made known
and held up to public ridicule. Accord
ing to local tradition Stoekach was tho
birthplaceof Hans Kuoni, jester to Leo
pold, tho brother of Albert the Wise,
Archduke of Austria. Just before ths
battle of Morgarten, in 1S15, the man in
motley was asked to express his opinion
of the plans of tho campaign, which had
been adopted in his presence. Hans
shook his cap and bells and answered:
"Your speeches please me- littlo, ray
masters, for you only think and debate
hcv you shall enter the eaemy'i terri
tory, but take no thought how you shall
leavoit."ThehaHiotook place. Leopold'
forces wcro defeated ami escaped death
almost by a miracle. Then the Arch
duke Albert, "be a use -tho fool had
been wiser than his all brother coun
selors," gave, him tho riuhb "to sit in
judgment upon tho w'so" annually ia
his native town, tie.! granted many priv-
iloges and imai
court." This p
met even in the

Shrovo Stintlay and Monday wore
given over to the "young fools," or the
children, who marched through - the
streets in fantastic drons, asthoydid,
and still do, in many oilier, places.
Jleanwhilo a nuinbej' of the boys main
tained a sort of v. a ten at the fools'
troo, and, with oao-splitting noises and
blows of whips! dr'ovo away allcomers
who wero not fantastically attired. In
roward'for this sor-viee each urchin re
coivod an linnionatf" Tools' cake. On the
eagerly-awaited Shrovo Tuesday, at ton
o'clock in tho morning, the members of
tho oourt assembled on a great platform
in the open air, and tho judicial pro
ceedings woro begun. Tho fools' prose
cutors niado their satirical accusations,
and tho persons convicted of folly, when
their orimos had boon described, were
punished by having thoir names en
tered in the hook of fools. No one was
spared. Tho guilty ones, without
distinction of person, wero public
ly ridiculed and enrolled among the
fools. Protestations were of no
avail, and whoovnr ventured to oritl
Jise tho sentenco of tho court or
to speak in favor of tho convicted fools
was declared to be a fool himsolf
and his name was put on the
roll. When all the cases had
been disposed ot a procession, headed
by tho council of fools, marched
through tho streets, pausing fre
quently, ospocially before tho houses of
tho convicted persons, to read aloud the
sentenco of tho court to tho great do
light of tho populace. The sontonoe
was also affixed to the doors of tho crim
inals' houses. Tbon beiran the festival
of fools, tho programme of which in
cluded a lively theatrical representation
for tho populace, a banquotat tho Fools'
Inn; and another banquet and dance in
tho evening. On tho next day, Ash
Wednesday, at four o'clock in the after
noon, tho council again assembled be
fore tho Fools' Inn to bury their folly.
At tho head of tho procession cumo two
young folk bearing lnrnenso keys the
keys to tho realm of folly. Next came
tho fools' guard, carrying a parti-colored
and decorated stuff, oft tho top of which
was tho bust of Hans Kuoni. lie was
followed by two fools' treasurers, wbo
boro an ancient carved chost containing
the books of fool and tho records of the
court. Then canto tho father of fools,
usually the oldest male inhabitant of
tho town. The rest of the fools fol- I
lowed, wulking two and two, with bowed I
heads and ih siionco, like attendants at
a fune. al. When tho procession had
roaohod tho fools' troo it marched around
it three times and then dispersed, and
the reign of folly was over for that year.

A Iturious Story from Maine of a Love
Lock anil a Ntlrk or Wood.
Thirty-seven years ago, says the
Boston Traveler, a Yankee fishing
skipper of Vinal Haven, .Mo., named
Solomon Marshall, was courting Debo
rah Sholes, of Upper Port La Tour, N.
S. While at her home he bad. begged
a lock of her beautiful golden brown
hair. During the succeeding winter,
which he sjicnt at his home, he received
the news that the youn;f lady of his
heart had turned tickle mid was allow
ing another the honor of her company
to village, merry-making.
In his despair he and a friend named
Colby, who was afterwiirds killed in
the war, bored a three-quarter inch
holo into a white birch tree then about
five inches through, put tlie hair in nutl
drove home after It a pine plug. The
next summer ho went buck to Nova
Hcotin and married the fair Deborah, In
triumph over his rival, anil brought her
to the states, where he afterwards died,
lie never thought it necessary to re
claim tlie hair, and there it remained
for year after yeur, the tree waxing
urge and strong, and covering over
with its white wood and puper bark
tho preciouB token hid in its bosom.
Last winter Mr. Edwin Smith, who
now owns the old Marshall farm, cut
the tree for firewood. In splitting the
wood the ax happened to lay the tree
oien exactly on a pine plug, with a lock
of beautiful hair behind it. The outside
end pf tin plug. wu covered by three
inches of solid wood, which consisted
of thirty-seven annual rings. The bail
mil plug aro now in possession of Mrs,
Margaret Turner, of Isle au Ilntite, Me.,
