This is for the tablo, which is printed in the corner of every published weather map. Still another employe is fitting little leaden slugs into round holes in a brass plate. Each slug bears an arrow crossing a black or white circle and is so set as to indi cute iR direction of the wind. When all this is done, tho prophet draws lines on the map to show where rn;.... ,i ... ;.i;... au.u an .i..a,iaj uliu iu lUkiiuaiQ umci up mospiierio conditions. Hie map is then laid on tbo brass, pinto with its lead slugs in place, a press closes upon it and the arrows and circles are on the outline map, which is now ready to be transferred to a lithographic tone. If I mistake not, tho finished maps indicating the weather of the past twelve hours are ready for use in less thsu two hours after the simultaue out observations are taken, while in much less time the prophet has made his predictions and the clerks have tol egraphed them to weather observers ml to press associations all over the country. Not all the signal stations have the same instruments. The chief of the service mildly calls attention to the fact that "owing to limited supplies ninl other circumstanoes," the first or der stations do not in every case have the a in e instrumental equipment. Htutions of the second order, however, are equipped pretty much alike. The station at Washington is much more fully equipped than tho regular first-class stations, and tho instruments in uhu aro of finer quality and of much greater value. Possibly this accounts for the excellent weather and the 8 lultrious climate of the capital. Just think of it, there were but eighty-nine days iu 1801, and only soveuty-one in 1803 on which the sun did not shino at all in the.oity of Washington.' The instruments by which the government keeps eonnt of the hours of sunshine is a photographic reoorder, so that the great orb may be said to keep its own records. witen tho vagaries ol Irost are noted, one wonders 1 whether the ob servers or the climate is at fault. For iuHtanoe, the lutest killing frost in the spring of 1892 ocourred as follows: At Sacreniento, February 7 i Jackson' -villa, March 20 ; Norfolk, March 22 j Washington city, April 16 J New York oity, April 25, and at Denver on May 9. On the other hand, the earliest killing frost in the fall of 1892 oo currcd in tho oity of Washington on October 0; in Denver, October 12 ; iu New York oity and in Norfolk on the name date, November 6 ; in Jackson ilia, November 12,. and in 8aurnien to, November 21. Kate Field's Wash- iiutton. ' Electricity In tlin Skin, tn Ids last published work, Profes sor Yarrhnnoff, of St. Petersburg, gives tho roatilts of his reBearchos with tho elect rio currents of tho skin, says tho Pniladelphia Record. As stated, these experiments led him to connect, tho skin of various parts of tho body by means of non-polarizablo clay elec trodes with Moissnor's galvanometer, and at such times tho various stimuli of tho skin such as light tickling with ft brush, heat, cold, a needle prick, sound, light, tasto and smell wero noticed, and in all theso cases a strong defection of the galvanometer needle was observed. Merely opening the eyes, after they had been closod for some time, produced a considerable defection ; and mental elTorts, like cal culation, also had a similar effect. These currents, if they exist, it is re marked, must pass off with tho moist ened deposits which are being con stantly expelled, and a new supply of electricity would have to bo found soniewhero; and such electricity, says Professor Yarehanoff, having its sourco perhaps in the food we cat and tho air wo breathe, must of necessity entail upon the organism a continuous strain in its production, it being from such causes, perhaps, that the body becomes fatigued after a comparatively few hours of exertion, and absolute rest becomes necessary for recuperation. The Professor's Object Lesion. A pupil of the late Professor Bill roth, in a communication to the Kleino Zeitung, says that the great surgeon used to tell his young hearers in the lecture room that the two main faults of the surgeon were a neglect of the gift of observation, and a self-satisfied delusion that they practised it. He had a favorite experiment with which he used sometimes to test the preseuce or absence of this gift in new pupils. "Now, gentlemen," he would say, "look at me, and do exactly what I do." He would then thrust one of his fingers into a basin of dirty water, raise his hand to his mouth, and stick one of his fingers between his lips. All his hearers, as they imagined, there upon imitated him. "Ah, gentlemen," Billroth would say, "what a defect of observation 1 You have not observed that I put my fore-finger into the dirty water, aud placed my second finger into my mouth. You have all placed the samo finger in your mouth which you had thrust into the dirty water, I hope you like the taste of it." Of course, if any youth had been forewarned, he would not have been caught on tho professor's trap. Westminster Gazette. Pity Among Birds. "I witnessed an incident last year," said Oswald Orafton, "that showed that there is a strong feeling of pity among birds, and that sometimes they are as charitable as men. A pair of robins had lost their nest in the fence near by the house, while a pair of cat birds had built theirs in a bush close by. The two pairs hatched out their young about tho same time, and for a short time went along smoothly. Then the robins disappeared entirely and I conoluded that they bad been killed. The young robins, who had depended on their parents for food, appeared to be starving. When tho catbirds came with a worm or bit of food for their young, the young robins would thrust tip their heads and make a great noiso. Presently it was notioed that the cat birds were feeding the hungry orphans. Every night, too, while one of the catbirds covered its own young its mate performed the saruo service for the young robins. In this way both broods were reared, tbo robius growing up as strong and lively as though they had boon .oared for by their own parents." St, Louis Globe Democrat. A Newfoundland Saves a Tramp.

Her salary never exceeds 8300 a year, and is oftener about 8200, and for this sti pend she is required to teach an un graded school and frequently to keop the school house and its sanitary ap pointments clean and in order, as well as teach in the Sunday school and play tho organ for church services. Her field of labor is often a barn which is too dilapidated for its original use, cold and penetrated by all the winds of heaven.

The latest design for a bed is that which Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has in her sleeping room in the new place on Fifth avenue. New York City. It is distinctly novel here. There is a dais raised five or six inohes from the floor. This is padded thickly till it is almost like n pillow. On this stands a frame which has neither head nor footboard. It most resembles ft large divan, and round it the dais makes a platform wide enough to walk upon. This di van bed has a superb day dressing of yellow satin that is trimmed with fringe, and just touches the dais, while it fits smoothly over the level of the bed. It is caught in a knot at each eorner. It has a magnificent band of em- iroidery around it on the portion that eovers the flat top. High up on the walls a m ignilUvnt carved lambrequin like frame, from which are draped ex quisite brocaded yellow silk hangings that are not at all full, and are so short on the side that no air is shut out Boston Qlobc. BEADED LACE AND ELECTRIC HEADS. Beaded lace is tho newest feature of the season's trimmings, tho tendency being to make lace look as much like passementerie, as possible. The groundwork is wrought out with van ous colored beads and sequins, which seem to reign supreme in tho world of trimmings. They appear on overy thing where a "glitter" is required, and they are to be had in all the bright colors, as well as tho soft, subdued tints. All sorts of beads in crystal, sat, jot and colors aro blended with them in gorgeous harmony. Black or whito gauze net are somotimes the foundation for this kaleidoscopio com bination, and it varies in width to suit nearly every style of trimming. Sil ver sequins and crystal beads make a lovely decoration for a white satin gown. Among tho nowest trimmings are canvas bands covered thickly with electrio beads and drops of sequins, and moire satin and velvet bands more or less embroidered with jet beads which finish the edge and form a pat tern through the centre. For an ex ample of the olaborato use of jet is a dress composed of broadly striped white moire and black satin. Each Rtripo of white is embroidered from the waist nearly to the knees with fine jet beads and spangles. Tho bodice of plain satin has wide revers of the stripe powdered with jot and opening over a soft front of deep yellow chif fon inserted with linosof yellow tinted lace. The collar is of yollo'w velvet Boston Advertiser, MAKIXO DOLLS' STBS. Who would think of such a thing as a queen deoiding the oolor of the dolls' eyes within ber kingdom? Suob a thing has been done not by royal ediot, however, but simply by having her majesty's own eyes set the fashion. When Victoria bocame queen of England, more than fifty years ago, she was fair and young, with very blue eyes, whereupon blue eyes became all the fashion, and all the royal doll makers of her kingdom began sending blue-eyed dolls from their faetories, In Italy and Spain, whore all the crest beauties have olive skins and dark, handsome eyes, a blonde doll is not a common sight. Jnpanese dolls have twinkling, beady black eyes set in their heads aslant, while the gayly dressed dolly from Singaporo looks from her copper-colored face with a pair of narrow, coquettish black eyes, quite different in expression from either the Spanish or Chinese beau ties. Tho making of dolls' eyes Beems a funny trado and yet there are many thousands of dollars spent in this one Item of doll making every year. Dolls are so perfectly made and seem so individual in themselves that it la hard to realizo that each ono passes through so many as five or six hands before she comes into posses sion of all her members. There are head makers, arm and leg makers, wig-makers, eye-makers, body cutters, sewers and stuffers not to mention dressmakers aud milliners who never sew a stitch for a living per son, but spend all their skill upon designing and , making doll dresses and headgenr. When dolly has any vocal or other accomplianmenta, of course other workmen have a hand in her make-up. If she calls "mamma" and "papa" and recites "Littlo Boy Blue," as many do a special and delicate bit of machinery goes in with the stuffing, and the dolly that has speeches or songs shut up within her bosom bears a very de cided likeness to a real baby, and, in deod, in nt least two respect the doll has the advantage she never speaks unless she is bidden, and she can be depended upon to say the correct thing, which is scarcely true of most babies we have met. New York Ad vertiser. FASHION NOTES. Hats and bonnets of laco braid will be more popular this year than ever. Light alligator belts are made to wear with tan aud whito check ging hams. Russet costumes include gown, shoes, belt, and faucy straw round hat or Duso turban. The long basque, with rather full skirts, is to be one of the standard garments of the season. It is said that velvet and lace are to be tho popular combination for full dress wear for the summer. Black dotted guaze or silk crcpon niailo up over watered silk forma a beautiful toilet for evening wear for young ladies in mourning. A cool gray green is one of tho new colors which gave a hint of its ex istauce last year, and now appears in silks and crcpotis uuder tho uonio of "roscau." A new collar is made of 12 gores cut in umbrella fashion. This is seen on a tailor costume of fine twill. Tho edge of the collar is trimmed with nar row braid stitched on by machine The conspicuous and aggressive silk Or ribbon bow is falling into disfavor. It has always been discarded by many women of conservative tastes, and iu its plnce the soft, looped bow of lace is likely to be adopted. Whito satin sleeves covered with black jetted net will bo seen in block and whito striped or dotted silk gowns, trimmed with jettod lace, and rich black silk gowns decorated with white laco and insertion. A novel waist-trimming is made of ribbons cut in lengths of about ten inches. These aro arranged to full in ruffle fashion over the shoulders and bust. A beading ia made of ribbon braided into a wide band. Shirred hats of black tullo, crape or silk muslin will bo worn. Thoy are made upon wires and may bo bont in any shapo to suit tho wearer. Tho trimming is usually of wreaths of pop pios, roses or wildtlowers. Cotton orepon is a desirable mater ial for summer gowns, and it can bo had in black and all the light tints. It is especially recommended for its laundry qualification i, as it washes perfeotly aud requires no ironing. Long basques of fancy silk with masses of lace are among the coming dressy additions to tho toilet. The skirts will cover one-third the length of the dress-skirt Some modols have lace flounces nearly half a yard deep. A new idea in bodice-making is to allow extra length to the outside ma terial This is left loose below the bust and falls into a mass of soft folds. It takes the place of a belt, and if carefully arrangod is quite stylish and very becoming. Many handsome tints in mousque taire gloves are offered for dressy wear this summer. Russetts, pale browns, and tans always look well iu either LSuedo or glaoe kid, four-button or tnousquetaire length, ami they are al ways in good taste, whatever be tho oolor of the oostums they complete.

You have followed him this far and tlie honor shall lie yours." We continued following the trnll until overtaken by darkness. We then went Into camp, and as we hail no forage we were obliged to graze our horses. The next morning, Just at the break of day, we broke camp. Herg't MiiMey, of Co.

"I am going to the White House to sea Abe." said Owen Lovejoy to Carr, as they met In front of tbn Treasury building. Carr went with h I in. They were shown into the President's working room, aud soon after Lincoln came Iu. lie wore a long garment, whl"h might hare been out from a bath-room pattern or the cover of a pnlrle schooner.

His conviction was re garded as corialn, and It was held that his proposition to tight a duel, and placing the woman upon practi cally equally terms with him, would not excite anything except laughter before a Jury, whereas, If It bad been the case of one man lighting another, It would be exceedingly difficult to tocure a conviction. k a : m KEYSTONE STATE CULLINGS A McnnKS t nrtDisn.
