: WARD M'ALLISTER'S PICNIC. A tall, thin man, with a rd nose, grey side whiskers and a melancholy expression, drifted into the olliee of a eliante family newspaper last week and asked in a subdued voice if there was a member of the staff at liberty just then. "Because," said the stranger, "a very peculiar thing happened up our way I live out hy Shantytown this morn ing that I think you might work up iuto a slashing good article, somehow." "What sort of thing?" said the man aging editor, winking at the fighting reporter to get his club ready in case the sad man pulled out a poem or oth er dangerous contrivance. "Well, in the first place." said the itranger, abstractedly, "do you happen to know the effect of beeron animals?" "Can't say I do." "It's exactly the reverse of what it is on men. Instead of soothing 'em, it excites their nervous organization to the highest pitch, actually makes 'era insane." 1 "Does, ehP" "Yes, sir; and this morning, as it was rather sultry, I'sent my youngest boy for a gallon of beer, lie stopped on the w:iv hack and nut the can down to wlav marbles. MuUinty's old black hilly goat came along and drauk up the beer every drop or it." "Great Catsarl" exclaimed the boss artist, reirrctfullv. - "Ho drank every drop, and nearly choked to death trying to swallow tno can. He sorter staggered round for a little while; then lio started for a streetcar with all sails set, and hit the horse square amidships." "It was foundered,, of course P" said the pun editor. "I'recisuly. The coat then glanced off. broke the driver's leg and tele scoped the car. I was sitting at my window about this time, and my at tention was attracted by Ward McAl lister prancing down the street, hades bent for election." "Ward McAllister?" gasped the so ciety editor, turning pule. "That's tlio goat's name. You see MeOinty'g goat is the biggest of the four hundred and odd out our way, so thev call him after McAllister. "Is this coat story in one act?" asked the lighting edtor, blowing into his der- nnirer. "In one sceno and four tableaux," said the stranger, solemnly. "On the next block Wardie we call him Wardio, for short came across a l)utch picnic headed by a brass band. The Teutons were toot in' 'Listen to the Mocking Bird,' lust beautifully, and pretty soon the band changed to Come Whore My Love Lies Ureanv ing.'" "Did the coat ronieP" "You bet he did. Ho didn't fancy the new tune, somehow, and the lirst thing tin; drum major knew Ward took him square in the stomach most broke him clean in two; then went tliruugn the rest of the band with the brass drum round his neck, and so on clear down to the end of thu picnic, which Was four squares long. I think there were twenty-one killed and ninety-six wounded. I'letly good for McAllister when you consider the entire driving power was only one gallon 01 otieap beer. Wow, it occurred "Hold on!" said the editor, signal ing for the stall to roll up their sleeves "allow mo to explain what occurred to you. You concluded to catch the goat when he got sobered up and bring linn down here for our benelit. You have him now tied to a lire plug around the corner, and if we will only chip in AO cents for beer you will gel the animal started up mid we can wiileli the fun, lir" "Precisely!" said the stranger, warm ly; "exactly, i will now take up a col That afternoon delinquent subseril)- ers, us they toiled up inlo the business office of the Truntler, wondered at the number of fresh blood-stains on the stairs, brake' $ Mmjn zim: Telephone Mar. You have a telephone ear. Yon may not know It, lint you have all the saint It Is the left ear, for it Is on record that only a very small percentage of men or women use the right ear at the telephone. As a matter of fact, the telephone has suddenly come into prominence as a medical proposition, and unless the scientists uro mistaken thu bulk of men and women w ho use the telephone within a few years may expect to limi themselves rather hard of hearing in the left ear. This is be cause when using the telephone every muscle and nerve of the cur Is strained to catch the faintest sound from the person speaking at the oilier end. lh Oliver W . Moore, the eminent eye and ear specialist, was asked the oilier day if he hail heard of any of thu cases of deafness from the telephone. "It is rather difficult to statu exact lv." he replied. "1 have seen where the repealed sound of an Instrument or the repel ion of any sound has cause. deafness. Telegraph operators are in danger of limning their sense of hear Ing. ltoiler-iuakers often suffer from deafness. In the construction of hoil ers it is necessary for out; man to bo inside the boiler ami the other outside, and the incessant noise caused by the riveting of the boiler always causes either deafness or an affection of the ear. As lo thu telephone, it no doubt lias the same effect. It is natural and reasonable to suppose that it person listening for a sound, and not knowing the moment when it will come, may injure the membrane of the ear. mid in time this might affect the hearing powor.

When her strong, characteristic sketches of Tennes see mountain life began to appear In the Atlantic Month ly, about ton years ago, there was not a doubt In tho pub lic mlud of the writer's being a man, ami one of a individuality. Even MISS Ml IIKIIKK. strong iiinsciilino bar handwrltlug carried out the decep tion, and the editor of the Atlantic neiat mistrusted that his new contributor was a woman. Finally one pleasant winter morning a card was brought Inlo his ed itorial sanctum with "Charles Hubert Craddock'' inscribed thereon.

All the world now knows, however, that the real name of the writer is Mary Noailles Murfree, and that sho is a de scendant of the old and well known Murfree family of North Carolina and Tennessee. Her birthplace was the bat tlefield of Murfreesboro. Uur home Is In St. Louis. A literary critic wrote a few years ago; "Weuavea UiDoriau (we were almost tempted to say a greater Gauoriau) in our own tongue." was Just alter the appearance of "The Leavenworth Case"; and public opinion, agreeing with the critics for once, still estimates at that standard the powers or Anna Katharine Green. "The Leav enworth Case" is universally consider ered to be one of the best detective stories ANNA KATHARINE CIIKKN. ever written. The technical knowledn of law and Its intricacies displayed therein is pronounced by our best law yers something wonderful; and the most remarkable fact of all is that the book was written by a woman, unassisted by any man. Among the many previous Jives sacri ficed in the War of the Rebellion was one which at a time darkened the whole future and nearly ended the lifo of j-.iiZHueth tttuart l'helps. But by the strength of her own nature she was com pelled to rise from her seeming defeat, and, taking up her pcu again, wrote her conceptions of tho world whose gates had been left j;ir for her, and her idea of her lover's possible condition. Her hook lay two KMZAiiktii stuakt years in tho pub l'UKl.i's. Usher's bauds, but was finally brought out in 1808. It was pronounced morbid, unhealthy, unor thodox, and even ''healhenish," by carping critics. But, nevertheless, it has reached a sale of over luu.uou copies, and been translated into German, French, Dutch and Italian; and it has brought comfort to many a lonely, bereaved heart, to whom the old crude and mea ger idea of Heaven seemed unsatisfying. There is no doubt that it touched tho sympathies of humanity at large, and is one of the books which will live for many decades lo come. Afterward Miss l'helps wrote "Beyond the Gates" and "The Gates Helween, holh ot which were well received and ran through numerous editons. Her other best works are "Men, Women, and Ghosts," "The Story of Avis," "Hedged In," "The Old Maid s raradise, and lliirglars in I ar- ndiso. Her first story was written when oho was Id years old.

"Thu way thesu trains are overeroweded is shameful." "As you appear to he I ho only per son who objects to mv presence," re plied the gentleman, "1 shall remain where I am." "Then I shall call tho guard and have von rcmoxed. sir." Suiting tho action to the word tin aggrieved passenger rose and, putting his head out of thu window, vociferous ly suinmoiH'd the guard.

From l.'lO Above In Sun Krnnclsoo to 90 Degrees Itelow In Kussift. Capt. R. K, Kerkain, signal officer at this station is something of an en thusiast in his profession, and from the voluminous data in his office is aide to answer almost any sort of a conundrum a visitor may care to propound, so long as it relates to meteorological records, sins the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "You have heard no doubt," said Capt. Kerkntn thcolherdaytooneof his visit" "that Hie climate of Louisiana is one oi its weak points. Now, if you look up tho records you will see that the ange or temperature neru is one ui me arrowest to be found anywhere on this continent. Here aro the extremes that have been recorded here, and though the range between them is not wide, it is wider than may be recorded again for thirty years. On Jan. U, 1880, the mercury fell to IS degrees abovo zero, mid on June '22, 1881, it rose as high as 1)7 degrees, giving a range between ex tremes of M degrees, but, as every Louisianian knows, the former figure is one to which tins mercury is not likely to fall once in thirty years. Now, if you compare this range z degrees with those in other portions of the United Stales you will not find any less, except it might be at some of the suit-coast stations in middle and southern latitudes on the 1'acilic. "But w hen you come to look for wide ranges hclwccn mo minimum ami maximum temperatures go into north ern Dakota and Molilalia. What do you think of lfi'J degrees? "1 was in tnai country ironi irwo to 1881. and on Dec. W, 1880, saw the temporal uro VJ degrees below zero and in July of 1881 saw it at 110 de grees. These temperatures are from standard instruments used hy thu sig nal service, and to prove that the record is correct tho stat ions at Fort Kenton, Mont., and l'cmhina, Dak., recorded tho same minimum tempera ture on tho same day, making it ap pear as thoiiirh there were a belt of country about GOO miles long and about ISO miles wide along the forty-ninth parallel that has a teinpelaliire lower than that recorded elsewhere in tho ex treme northwest. In conversation with any southerner regarding low temperature Bismarck, Dak., appears to be the zero of his cal culations. If Bismarck has a tempera ture below zero, be it 10, 15 or 'JO de grees below, tlio cry is 'look out for n cold wave' Now, in that stretch of country north ami northwest of Bis marck, w here the niinimums occur, the temperature is invariably 10 to 45 de grees lower man ui me latter piaeo. "The summer temperature also ap pears to be somewhat higher along the forty-ninth parallel. At the time the mir.'imiiin was 110 degrees where I was located in July, 1881. Bismarck had but 102 degrees as a maximum for the same date. These are tho extreme- occurrences of heat and cold in thu northwest, but the average range is probably fully lot) degrees, and an additional range of 111 degrees would not make much differ ence. 'The Pacific coast Is not usually hot place, but exceedingly high tem peratures have oecured in California on several occasions. On Juno 17, 18y!), the temperature at San Francisco registered IXi degrees, rising suddenly from 77 degrees: a burning northwest desert wind prevailed for several hours, ami at 7 p. m. of the same date, the temperature had again fallen to 77 d grees. At nautii itaronra, on the same afternoon, a strong burning desert wind blew for a few hours, destroying all fruit, and animal lile exposed to the hot wind died from the effect. The temperature at Santa Barbara is ulso said to have registered I'M degrees. On the same day the temperature was III: degrees at San Diego and 117 degrees at Fort Yuma, Cal. "In June, 1887, from tho 8lh to the 121 li, excessively high tem'ratiires oe cured in California, ranging from degrees at Sail Diego to 111 degrees at Yuma ami 1'.'-' degrees at Spring Valley. It is nn interesting fact that ice formed within 600 miles of this temiiernturo. at Cheyenne. Wyo., on the same dates. During this heated spell the daily maximum temperature at Fort Yuma did not fall below 108 de grees ami the mean for the month was 110 degrees, tho highest day tempera tures ranging from 103 degrees to 118 degrees, with miiiimums ut night never below 77 degrees. "On July 17, 1879, In Onargia, 'Al goria, the thermometer registered 127.4 Jegrecs. At Werchojausk, Siberia, Jan. 1.5, 188,5, the minimum tempera ture wasi)0.4 degrees below zero." An Idral Homo.

In this country he hits also tiled an application lor a patent. After studying for a long time the manner in which silkworms do their work Moussa Kffcudi Khouri came to the conclusion that quite as tine a silk could le made out of the twigs and bark of the mulberry tree as is made at present from the leaves. He there fore exiH-rimeuted with the bark and twigs, discarding the services of the worms altogether, and after years of lalair he succeeded in producing silk which has been pronounced by Kurox'an experts lo be no whit infer lor to tho article manufactured by silk' worms. In appreciation of Moussa Effendi Khouii's devotion to science the Turk' ish government has granted him eer tain rights over all the mullierrv trees in the Sultan's dominions.
