The wind blew a tempest last night, the snow fell in almost impenetrable sheets, and at 0 o'clock everything was clad in Siberian whiteness. The fur collar went up, the seal wrap was buttoned tighter, anil overshoes were in universal demand.: The church pews were at most, of the places of worship showed a lack of christian enthusiasm somewhere. Probably the parlor stove possessed more warmth than the words of the presiding shepherd. The shorn lambs who were out in the cold certainly be-- ! trayed a preference for the stove in the rotunda or the lodging house, and for tu hour the thoroughfares were abandoned. The motorman whose ears and nose were stinging sent his car at more powerful force its the snow bagan to ir.lt and till its ironed course and then they were finally com-pelled to retire before schedule time. The pedestrian shuddered the livery-man rejoiced. It meant 5 an hour for an indefinite period.

All of the trains on their tardy arrival betrayed the effects of the terrible struggle they had under-gone. The boilers were sweating, the car rools carried several inches of snow, the windows were caked and everything told of the ter-rors of a frontier blizzard. The Utah Central was the only one that arrived on schedule time. The Union Pacific passenger wa held in a snow elide at Devil's Gate and the 1! n Grande Western delayed set oral hours.

Reading, Pa., Feb. 2.-- The puddlers of the itrooke iron company at Birds-boro- , this county, have refused to ac-cept the proposed reduction of 25 cents per ton and the rolling null closed down this morning. About 450 hands were thrown out of employment. The entire iron works of the Lllis and Leasing steel companv of Pottstown, shut down today throwing 700 men out of employment. This lock-ou- t results from thi) men refusing to accept a re-duction in their wages.

Hnre'e hnt That Evidently Liked Work Connected with a Drug Store. A envious thing is said to have hap-pened at Crossen, Silesia, in tho year 1659. In the spring of that year one Christopher Monigh, a drug clerk (an apothecary's servaut, as the old account says), died and was buried with th usual services of his church. A few days after his death a bhadow exactly like his in face, clothes, stature, mein, etc., appeared in the drug shop where he had been employed his decease, Li tho shop he would walk about, sit himself down, take boxes, pots, glasses etc., from the shelves, always returning them to their exact places. Later on he began to try the quality of tho medicines and to weigh various drag stuffs in a pair of scales used for that purpose; would pound drugs in a mortar with ft "mightie noise," and even serve people who came on business to the shop; in a word, do all that a servaut in such a capacity could do. He looked very ghastly upon those who had formerly been his fellow servants, tliey being afraid to say anything to him. The owner of the drng shop was sick at the time, and this phantom servant soon began to cause him ft deal of trouble, performing all sorts of tricks on the in-valid, such as pulling down the bed uion which he lay, burning sheets, coverlets, etc., and at one time even going so fat as to throw the lamps in Ihe tire as often as they were brought into the sick room. During all this time ho had never been seen in the streets or heard to speak. Finally, one day lie put on a cloak that bun,' in tho shop and walked out into the streets, minding no one and turning neither to the right nor to the let. Nearing the churchyard where his mortal remains had been deposited, he met a maid servant with whom he had formerly been on speaking terms; ac-costed her, only to see her fall in a swoon. This single instance is the only one in which he is said to have spoken during the six weeks he was ter-rorizing all that portion of Silesia. When the girl fainted the gallant phantom essayed to help her to her feet, and placed in her hand u paper written in blood red ink telling tho location of much buried treasure. That night h f'lmrlntte tlio then chief magistrate of Crossen, determined to put an end to the ghostly raids of the drug clerk. She ordered the grave opened, and the corpse, grave clothes and the coffin burned. This weird proceeding was carried out to the letter, and nothing of the ghost clerk was ever seen afterward, although exact pictures o him appeared ia every window pane in the drug shop building. Some of these pictures, which much re-sembled sand blast work, faded in a few months, but two of them, in an attic window where tho clerk lived prior to his death, were plain to be seen up to the time the building was destroyed by fire in 1741. No explanation of these mysterious shadows has ever been given. St. Louis Republic. THE INCREASE OF FLATTERY. The Boomerui Element la Latter I? Personalities of Society. Preoccupation with personality is cer-tainly an American possibly more or less a generally modern tait; but cat present orgy of compliment is, I think, a new variant of it. And it cannot ba that we are becoming Frenchified to the point of social insincerity for the mere lake of moral perversity. The troth, probably is that as wo progress in social -- ivilization or perhaps better, as social sivilization spreads increasingly and penetrates our bewildering and encour-aging succession of nonvelles conches tho donire to make one'a self agreeable, instead of merely important, is increaa-in- g proportionately. Now, amenity as an art ia a difficult one. To succeed in it demands either tho "certain felicity" which Bacon af-firmed to be necessary to the painter who would improve upon nature, or that long coarse of social cirilination where-by tradition secures the sinking of ef-fort in unconsciousness, and the substi-tution of inherited for acquired capaci-ties. In the absence of either of these advantages it is the shortest rather than t! wisest road to the end of being agree-auT- e that is pretty sure to be taken, and tho grosso modo pursuit of, as I said, the line of least resistance results in an amount and degree of personal flattery it the present moment which axe alto-gether notable. We have probably not yet wholly smancipated ourselves from the wish to be appreciated, as well as to bo agree-ibl- e. On the contrary, when we praise our friends for their qnalities or their performances in the blank and stark way sanctioned no doubt by our unques-tioned sincerity, but dictated perhaps by an imperfect taste, it is probable that with our motive f beiug agretbleia very subtly associated a desire to be deemed discerning. Wo act on the as-sumptionso tacit, to bo sure, as to be unconscious that the fact of our appre-ciation of them attests to them acute ness in us. Our well known and uni-versally acknowledged genuineness, ... that heirloom inherited from thesavagJ of the Elbe and Wesor marshes pre-vents our perspicacity in these circunv stances front being distrusted.

Special to The Ti n Colonel Charles Grymes late colonel commandant of the Marine corps, who was retired last week from active service, having reached the retiring age, was enter-tained at luncheon today by a number of his fellow officers. The Marine corps w hose origin dates back to No-vember 1775, when the continental con-gress voted to raise "the First and Sec-ond Battalions of American Marines," has had only eight commanders. Colo-nel MeCawlej entered the service in 1H47 just iti time to take part in the Mexican war. Lithe civil war he also made a distinguished record. Ahatract Number. It is not easy for children to conceive of numbers apart from sensible objects. For this reason our el'inentary books in arithmetic present pictures of thi articles named. Tho child learns to add and subtract simply by counting. Such a practice has its placo 'n instruction, bnt is apt to be encouraged too far. The re-sult is the ridiculous habit of counting one's fingers in the work of arithmetic. Tho Wallachian peasant is said to per-forin all multiplies ti ns above four times four by this method. It is evident from the word which we use for the several figures, digit, that they originally repre-sented so many fingers. The circumstance affords a reason for the decimal system of counting. Tho highest number that could bo expressed by a show of fingers was ten. We know that an early 6ystem of counting was by fives, or by the single hand. Perhaps our duodecimal system of counting by twelve, or the dozen, grew out of the practice of counting the two hands to-gether with the ten fingers. The score, or twenty, was a primitive assemblage of fingers and toes. It came into use at a time when people went barefoot. The French use this method in forming their tern;: four twenties is French for eighty. The word "score" came from the pruetice of notching a stick when one had counted to twenty. In the Maya dialects of Central America the word for twenty is the same as for man. It represented his value in mathe-matical calculations. Youths' Compan-ion. A N..W I'nperfor Vuehlo. Primo.

In the man from the districts where the land is still very rough theso marks of his calling are ac-centuated. Where the land is full of bnrnt stumps and rocks plowing requires considerable strength and more 6kill, and the continual "braoing up of the plow in the furrows has a tendency to make tho farmer get into the habit of walking with his legs wide apart, as in this position he obtains greater con-trol over the plow and maintains his equilibrium.

Military Reservation in Early Kaniia. All nlong tho outer margin of tho res-ervation were grouped tho camps of em-igrants; not many of them, but enough to present a curious and picturesque sight. There were ft few tents, but most of the emigrants slept in or under their wagons. There were no women or children in these camps, and the hardy men had been so well seasoned by their past experiences, journeying to this far western part of the territory that they did not mind the exposure of sleep-ing on the ground and under the ojien skies. Soldiers from the fort, off duty and curious to hear the news from the outer world, came lounging around the camps and chatted with tho emigrants in that cool, superior manner that marks the private soldier when he meets a civil-ian on an equal footing away from the haunts of men. The boys regarded these uniformed military servants of the government of the United States with great respect, .ind even with some awe. Thesn, they thought to themselves, were the men who were there to fight Indians, to protect the bor-der, and to keep back tho rising tide of wild hostilities that might, if it were not for them, sweep down upon the feeble territory and even inundat the wholo western country. Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas. Cata Enjoy Fun. The sport iveness of kittens is exuber-ant and makes them the most delightful f pets. Lindsay's remark is superfluous, except that it has to be made for the formal completeness of his treatise that dogs and cats take part in the fun and frolic sometimes rough and boisterous enough of their child playfellows. They give every evidence, in fact, that such fun and frolic are aim most enjoyed features of that period of their lives. As the animal matures it becomes more sedate, and even assumes a meditative air, but the taste for sport does not die out till infirmity begins to wear upon it. A cat mentioned in Tho Animal World would allow itself to bo rolled up or swung about in a tablecloth, and seemed to enjoy the fun, and Wood's dignified Pusset would let his friends do anything they pleased with him lift him up by any part of tho body, toss him m the air from one to another, use him us a footstool, boa or pillow, muke him jump over their hands or leap on their shoulders, or walk along their ex-tended arms with perfect complacency. At the same time ho was keenly sensi-tive to ridicule, and if laughed at would walk off with every manifestation of of-fended dignity. W. II. Larrabee in Popular Science.

" The century's closing decade may bring to woman a far wider and fuller entry into her domain. It is but a little ' over four decades less than forty-tw- o years ago since the meeting of the first .' womun's rights convention. The women who did the pioneer work,' making not t only that convention but all that has i followed it of right and justice to worn-- ' en a possibility, are some of them still with us. Those of them who have "gone over to the majority" went thither with-in the full memory of a generation now living and working. The names of Ln- - cretin Mott, of Angelina and Sarah 1 Orinike, of Frances D. Gage, of Abby Kelly Foster, of Sojourner Truth, born a slave and rightfully enming to wear the title of the "Libyan Sibyl," were but' a few years ago answered to on earth by t their possessors. Today they may be ; well written on every woman's golden " roll of remembranco of the dead. Susan ' ;i E. Dickinson in Scran ton Trnth, A Wife Murderer on Trial. Sr. Loi is, Feb. 2.

During the present century three girl queens have, before the advent of Oait-c- Wilhelniina, almost simultaneously as-- i cended the throne of a European na-tion: Maria da Gloria of Portugal, Isa-bella of Spain and Victoria of En-gland. The two first had the mis-fortune of attaining to the regal power while still mere children. There has been a wide difference between the his-tories of tho spoiled daughter of Spain and the headstrong Portuguese damsel and that of the grand aud conscientious maiden of 18 who was called upon to reign over Great Britain. By her close affiliations, through her sister, the Dnch- - ess of Albany, to tho English court, yueen Emma will probably profit by tho example set by tho Duchess of Kent in the education of her daughter.
