RED GLOWED TFiHky' A FINE DISPLAY OF THE AURORA BOREALIS. a. Th. Northern Heavens Illuminated as They Have Not Been Before in Many Year. — Th. Phenomenon a. Seen In Many Ci tie*—Marvelous Succession ol Iridescent Hues. , Rhone Over th. Land. The aurora borealis was generally visible the-other night, and was witnessed by thousands of people. Many stood stock still In the streets and gazed with all their eyes at the sky, while others looked from their windows until they had cricks in their necks. Everybody talked about It. The cause of all this commotion was not an ordinary, everyday northern lights by any means, but an aurora borealis the like of which nobody but the oldest inhabitant ever beheld. tn the first piece, It was magnicontly large. It filled a full quartei of the heavens, extending over the segment of the circle between the northwest and northeast. Its base extended nearly to the horizon line, and its apexes at times touched the zenith. The rapid shifting of the great tongues of light was an added feature, but the crowning glory of the aurora borealis was its color. Many have been seen, but they have usually been of the clear white light one Is usually wont to associate with the crystal seas of the frozen north. This one was a display of gorgeous coloring. The light varied from pure white to the color of a fall sunset. One minute the whole northern sky would be vestal white and the next as angry as the low-hanging winter clouds over a big fire. In fact, at times the tongues died away, leaving only a fierce red glow that made people in the southern suburbs think that t a tremendous conflagration was raging down town. Then the glow would soften and lose Its angry hue and turn to lovely pink, and ofter passing through marvelous gradations of hue become vestal white again, with tongues shooting to the very zenith. The aurora departed as suddenly as it came, and left the stars doubly serene after such vivid and varied brilliancy. The Interesting phenomenon was accompanied by an electrical storm which, while not severe, was widespread. The exact connection between the two and their origin are mysteries which electrical science has as yet been unable to clear up. The appearance of this particular storm was first noticed early in the afternoon, when the telegraph wires between Chicago and St. Poul began to work Imperfectly. Its influence was felt in the working of the telegraph instruments for a few minutes at a time. Then they would respond, to the operator’s touch in regular manner again, thus indicating that the storm moved in waves. The storm was at its height from 5 p. m. to 7 p. m., during which time it ’was found necessary to abandon, in some cases, the duplex system, which requires a nice adjustment of batteries, and confine the sending of messages to the single or ordinary method of telegraphing. This was especially true of lines between Chicago and Washington and Chicago and Pittsburg. The magnificent aurora borealis was scientifically observed at the University of Michigan by Astronomical Director W. J. Hussey, who reports as follows: “The brilliant red rose aurora visible to-night was not altogether unexpected. In a general way auroras have been predicted for about this time. To-night’s display naturally follows the appearance of the great sun spot which has been visible during the last week. Other ’auroral displays may be expected in the near future." Dispatches show tliat the phenomenon was witnessed at New York, Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Detroit, Indianapolis, and at Illinois and lowa points, but not at St. Louis, Kansas City, or Memphis. At Cincinnati it was first supposed that the city of Hamilton, twenty-five miles north, was on fire. Though not seen at St. Paul or Minneapolis, the aurora was plainly witnessed in Milwaukee. THE GRIP BACILLUS IS CAUGHT. Shaped Like the Letter H and One-Twen-tieth as Large aa a Blood Corpuscle. According to a Paris dispatch the microbe of influenza has been at last captured and dragged out to the light of day. The discoverers are Profs. Cornel and Chantemesse, who have just made a communication to the Paris Academy of Medicine on the subject. The German doctors attributed the grip to a bacillus which permeated the blood of the respiratory organs, but nothing further was known on the subject until now, when these French physicians have succeeded in capturing some of the bacilli and cultivating them in bouillon after the Pasteur method. It Is now found that these organisms are formed like the figure H, and the largest are in size barely the twentieth part of the diameter of a blood corpuscle. Experiments have been made on rabbits and monkeys, and the inoculated animals showed every symptom of Influenza soon after theyliad been injected with a preparation obtained by the professors from the cultivation of the microbe. It is expected that the experiments conducted by the French savants will assist Hie medical faculty in providing an efficacious method for the prevention and treatment of the malady. Told In » Line or Two. Nothing comes out of the mind as it goes in. - Schemes are all right so long as they are your own. Most of the tilings longed for by men have no existence. Did you ever notice how hard it is for two people to get along? < Limit the number of your. secrets, and you limit the number of your troubles. It is said that a cross, competent woman is the best to live with for a lifetime. , -- It is a very rare man who ean% lay all his misfortunes on Providence or his kin. ' Evkbv time you do a thing that is worthless, you fulfill the prophecies of those who dislike you. The trouble is that when a man is at the right age to learn, he thinks he knows everything.. A MAN never knows until after he has married a woman what sacrifices she made in marrying him. It would be easier to love the Lord if men did not know they were loving some one who loves their enemies. How very few people there urn who have enough sense to refuse to eat and drink that which they know’ is not good for them. “I am willing to admit the depravity of the race, bitt r am not willing to admit the depravity of men only. "—Parson Twine.Some men, when they become old, imagine that however busy their acquaintances may be, they are always glad to see them. Sin is like giving a note at a high rate of Interest. It is so easy to spend the money you received from the ho to, and •o bard to pay it back.

WORK OF OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. ■ Proceedings of the Senate and House ot ’ BepreientaUvee — Important Measure* • Discussed and Acted Upon—OUt of the I Business. The National Holone. On the 9th the House entered actively , upon the legislative work of the eeuion ■ and in the brief apace of live hours more ■ practical budneM wits transacted than in 1 any previous day of the Congress. The Pre*-, 1 (dent’s message with Its various suggesI tlons and recommendations for legislation f was referred to the various appropriate r committees without oven a single contest over the question of Jurisdiction and material progress was made In the consideration of the Military Academy appropriation 1 bill. Several measures wore the subject* I of discussion, but no definite settlement of 1 any was made. In the Senate Finance Committee, the tree-coinage bill was not , discussed st great length, and when it came to a vote in reporting the bill to the Senate . adversely It was at once apparent that [ there had boon some change In the I views of certain Senators since the last > Congress. The vote stood 7 to 4 in faI vor of the adverse report. Although adversely reported, the bill was . placed on the calendar of the Senate, whore It can be reached. In deference to ’ Ils friends, and it is understood that Sena--1 tor Stewart will insist on calling it up , in the Senate at an early day. The Peffer • bill, proposing to loan Government funds . to the farmers of Indiana, did not receive , a single favorable vote. In the Senate, on the 10th, Mr. Squire, from the Committee on Public Buildings, reported a bill appropriating 1500,000 for a ■ public building at Seattle,Wash. Calendar. ’ The Joint resolution ss to the payment to 1 the State of West Virginia of her proportion I of the direct tax was again taken up la the > morning hour, and after debate went over . without action. The bill providing for the public printing and binding and the distribution of public documents went over wlth--1 out action. Mr. Gorman presented the cre- • dentlals ot his colleague, Mr. Gibson, t Oath of office was administered to [ hltn by the Vice President After a . brief executive session the Senate adjourned. The event in the House was 1 the report of the Bland free-colnage bill by 1 the Commltte on Coinage, Weights, and - Measures. The action was not one that Ini volved debate, as the bill merely went on the calendar to be taken up in the order of its consideration. The House also ordered an investigation of the Pension Bureau, as managed by Commissioner Baum. A bill 1 concerning control of national banks occupied the balance of the session. In theiSenate, on the 11 th, the bill to 1 amend the law as to the "coasting trade on the great lakes was passed, Mr. Vilas giving ■ the following explanation of Its object and effect: The change which it makes in the existing law consists simply in requiring the owner, agent or master of aves1 sol touching at any intermediate port, in - the course of its Journey on the lakes, to make a statement of the quantity and nature of goods delivered or shipped at i that port Its object is simply to preserve among the various lake ports statistical information of the business done at these ports. The bill appropriat- ' Ing 1200,000 for a public building at Chey- : enne, Wyo., was passed. The printing bill went over without action. Adjourned till i the. 15th. In the House, the old parties came in for a scoring by ’ Jerry Simpson. The principal question was the appointment of messengers. Mr. Sirnp- ’ son's speech was Interrupted by frequent cries of “Put him on the roll.’’“Amend the i resolution,’’ and “He saved the Union,” but the speech of the gentleman of Kansas had i the effect of everwhelmlngly defeating the resolution. The military academy appro- . prlatlon bill was taken up and consumed the remainder of the day. Death to tne Octopus! There is every reason to’believe that the existence of the Louisiana , lottery will cease with the expiration of its present charter in 1894. The ■ published statement of John A. Morris, who has long controlled the operations of that gigantic concern, enjoying also most of its ill-gotten revenues, seems to be conclusive tl.at the directors of the company' would not accept the constitutional amend- ■ inent pending before the voters of • the State for the renewal of the lottery i franchise, even though it should be adopted. The decision of the United ' States Supreme Court, upholding the validity of the anti-lottery postal law, was a death-blow to the Louisiana company. The extent of its scheme compelled it to depend for its ' receipts on more than local patronage, and its success was impossible without the use of the postal facilities of • the country. The statutes of the several States imposing punishments i for the traffic in lottery tickets might be avoided or rendered ineffective. But the exclusion of the lottery’s ; business from tlie mails is fatal to its ■ hopes for further lease of life, without regard to the action of the people of Louisiana. Morris, who is a shrewd man, has been quick to appreciate the sweeping effect of the court's decision. He gives further evidence 1 of his perspicacity by wisely aban- ' doning a battle in which victory, if achieved, would be barren of profitable result. With the death of j the New Orleans octopus there is al- . most positive assurance that another [ giant lottery enterprise will never again flourish in the United StatesThe destruction of this system of robbery is good for the morals of the ' people. Admitting that here and ; there a small investment of money in ’ a lottery may once in a great while bring large returns does not lessen the evil. There was a great deal of truth in the observation of Horace : Greeley: “A sad day in any man’s life is that on which he comes into possession of a dollar which he has not honestly earned.” Short and Spicy. Uncle Sam prefers peace, and. what is more, he will have it —even if he has to fight for it. It is one of the blessed privileges of old age to give in first in a quarrel. When youth will not give in. old age should. A verdict of $1,000,000 has been affirmed by a Montana court against the “Last Chance Mining Company.” Propheticname!

The first time I had it I went to a doctor and got a prescription. Instead of taking that prescription to a drug store I made a copy of it and took the copy to the druggist Since then every time I’ve caught the grip I’ve just used that same old prescription, and it hasn’t cost me a cent for doctor's fees. I just tell you it’s a sight cheaper than having half a dozen different diseases, no two alike.”—New York Weekly. A l.ec«nd of Love. Kissing under the mistletoe is a remnant of Scandinavian mythology. It is related that Loki, the god of mischief and ruler of the earth, hated Balder, the Northern Apollo, and, as all else could not hurt the favorite of the gods, the evil one made an arrow of mistletoe, which he gave to Hoder, who was blind, to try. Hoder shot the arrow, and Balder was killed. Afterwards, on Balder being restored to life, the mistletoe, at the request ot the celestial deities, was given to Friga, the goddess of love, every one who passed under it receiving a kiss, to testify that the branch was the emblem of love, and not of death.
