THE FREAKISH WINO. Pranks It Has Played With Smoker Dust and Grain. During a volcanic eruption in the Hawaiian Islands the smoke rose to a height of between five and six miles and then drifted away W the north- east. At a distance of 800 miles it sealed -on the surface of the sea and was then carried back by the north- east wind to it. placeof origin, where it arrived u fortnight atter its or,g- inal departure and covered the entire group of islands with its heavy pall. Not long ago a steamer was on her way along the north African coast from Asia to England and had enter- ed the Galita channel between the island of that name and the coast of Tunis when a fine dust began to dark- en the air and soon afterward to fall on deck. Some of this dust was col- lected and subjected to chemical ana- lysis in Europe. Ise constituents proved that it had been carried high in the air from the Sahara desert and had finally dropped into the Mediter- ranean. More extraordinary still was a dust shower that tell in Hungary some Years ago. Analysis showed that this dust was identical with the sediment of the Nile. The dust was believed to have been brought by the wind all the way from . Egarpt a pretty long journey for a shower of that descrip- tion -to seeemplish. it must have been a ,high wind in- deed that brought 'r shower of wheat 011 one mica/don to the villagers in a place on the southern coast of Span. The wheat tell like rain. .There were so many witnesses of the occurrence that it was tmpoeatole to doubt that it had appeared. But for some months it could not be accounted for. Then came the other side of the story. 1t was learned that shortly before -this fall of wheat some farmers near the northern coact of Morocco hail been threshing wheat with flails when rum,. ..ly a tornado swept over the ground and carried all the wheat and chaff on the thrashing cloth in- to the air. The cloth was swept away by the )term, and the farmere fell to the ground, but were not injured When the storm had passed they were horrified at discovering that .the re- sult of their labors had totally dia.. appeared. There seemed hale doubt that the wheat that fell in Spain was that which belonged to the Moroccan farmers. It had been blown clear across the Mediterranean. Knew What He Was Doing.

Glasses became so fashionable that people did not wait until neces- sity compelled them to adopt the new custom. Whether their eyesight was bad or good, those who would be stylish wore spectacles. In Spain they formed part of the costume ef every well dressed person. The et, ject of the wearer in putting ou glasses was to increase the gravity of his appearance and render himself more directly imposing. The glas.es of spectacles were proportioned in size not to the eyes, but to the rank of the wearer, those worn by the Spanish nobles being as large its one's hand. The Marquis of .Astorga�-,vicc- roy of Naples, after having Inad\hie bust sculptured in marble parti0u- larly enjoined the artist not to forget his beautiful spectacles. Water as • Headache Cure.
