Fear OF Lightning.

Reason and study of the laws Of lightnns
nave done much to lessen the fear of 1t. i
ls true we live between two magazines o.
electriclty-one in the earth and the othel
Ill the air-and cloud charged with elect
richly passing over point or body In 6
negative condition will discharge its sur
plus by the very quickest and most con.
! genial medium, which 1t finds Ill the human,
body, tree or house indiffcrcntly. But /,
is also true that, provide the lightning with
convenient and easy conductor In the
shape Of stout iron rod higher than any
point of house, and reaching well into
the ground, where electricity may scatter
harmlessly into the damp earth, 1t will pre-.
fer that conducting rod to anything In Its
vicinity, and people who stay indoors in a
well.protected house arc safer from light.
ming than any bomb proof from bursting
shells. Every accident from this cause we
ever knew of came from careless exposure
IN situations known to be unsafe. The first
L noticed after my own accident was that
OF missionary's daughter who was killed
while passing an open window Just as q
woman was on Long Island last simmer,
while sitting at her sewing-mac hino. A
young man in Maiden we think, was killed
while sitting on porch with his chair tip
ped back and his head against the knob of
door-bell-wlre. Many men have been
struck while riding into barn on load of
hay. Many will remember the frightful
calamity at Scranton, Penn, where q party
OF women, out picking berries on one of
the high hills, crowded into deserted log
nut III sudden storm, and seven were kilt
cd by one bolt. Steep hills with mineral
VEINS cropping out arc not places for persons
10 i've on.who wish to escape lightning and
unprotected houses there arc doubly dan.
gerous.
1t is never too soon to go in the house
when storm Is rising. When the clouds
are fully charged with electricity they arc
most dangerous, and the fluid obeys sub
tic attraction which acts at great distances
and in all directions. n woman told us of
a bolt which came down her mother's Chin
ncy from rising cloud when the sun was
shining overhead. N. p. Willis writes of
young girl who was killed while passing
under telegraph WIRE, on the brow of a
hill, while she was hurrying home before a
storm. The sad accident at Morrisania.
when two children were killed, should
warn every mother that it is not safe to let
children stay out of doors till the last min
ute before the storm falls. People should
not be tool-hardy about sitting on porchcs
or by open windows, whether the storm is
hard or not. Mild showers often carry a.
single charge, which falls with deadly
effect ltmay or may not be fatal to stay
out; 1t is safe to be in The house, with the
windows and doors closed The dry air in
house is a reader conductor than the
damp air outside, and any draught of air
invites it, A hot fire in chimney attracts
1t, so to speak, and 1t is prudent for those
who would be sure of safety to use kerosene

Whipping Children.

A parent who don't know HOY to govern
child without whipping it, ought to sur
render the care of that child to some wiser
person. Sportsmen once thought 1t was
necessary to lash their dogs In training
them for the field. They now know that
the whip should never be used. Horscmcn
once thought II was necessary to whip colts
to teach thom to start or stop at the word,
and to pull steadily. They now know that
an apple is better than the lash, and that
q caress is better than blow. If dog and
horses can be thus educated without pun
ishmcnt, what is there in our children
|. which makes 1t necessary 10 slap and pound
them9 Have they less lntelligencc3 Have
they colder hearts? Are they lower in the
scale Of being2 We have heard many old
people say: If we were to bring up another
child we would never whip It, They arc
wise, but little too late. Instead of God
doing so little for children that they must
be whipped into goodness, he has done sc
much for them that even whipping CAM
rule them-rthat Is, as rule But, alas
thero are many exceptions to the rule.
many children are OF such quality that Q
blow makes them cowardly, or reckless, OF
permanently ugly. Whipping makes child
| rem lio, makes them hate their parents
makes home distastcful, makes boys rur
away, and makes the girls seek happiness
anywhere and anyhow. Whipping Is bar
! barous. Dou't whip.

So,Aetlling ont Of the Way.

A young lady in the most exalted socia
circles of Galveston, after much toll and
practice at the piano, learned to play with
considerable dexterily piece entitled
"Picnic Polka" 1t Is something after the
style of tic celebrated 'tBattlc of Prague, "
in which the listener can readily distinguish
the roar of the artillery, the rattle Of mus
kerry, the shouts of the soldiers, and the
groans of the dying. In the "Picnic Polka"
the noise of the wind among the trees and
the joyous carols of the birds are repro
duced, the final being a thunder shower
which dslurbs the sylvan jewellers. 1t
happened that country cousin Was in
town, and the young lady thought she
would play the piece to him and hear his
comment. He was plain supplemented
youth. and although not very bright, was
very apprcciative. She told what the piece
was and then. proceeded to give him
the "Picnlc Polka" The first notes are
rather slow and hesitating, the idea sought
to be conveyed being the solemn solitude
OF forest through which the gentle zephy
(not hcifer) sighs. After she got through
with this preface, she asked him If he did
not almost imagine himself in lodge in
some vast wilderness. lie replied that he
thought all that slowncss meant the delay
in getting off. SAID he. "rhcre is al
ways some damned c,iss who ovcrslecps
himself and keeps everybody else waiting. .

A SOle-StirrinR Incld. mt.

1t is sentimental custom for young men
10 write their names, and something soft,
on the solcs Of the girls shoes. You como
across couples In the angles of Railways, in
the corners of verandas, and on the beach,
filling out these novel autograph albums.
The girl grasps neutrality-suspicious. tho
young mans shoulder-to steady herself,
and coyly holds her foot bottom upward,
while he squats and tickles her sole with
the point of her pencil. This is not only
pleasing to the pair, but makes great sport
for the spectators.
The writing wears Off in an evenings
dancing, and the shoe Is then ready for tho
next fellow. The custom is encouraged
by girls with little feet. One who was not
80 fortunate stood in Rowland House
corridor, Long Branch, gracefully posed
against the wall, with tho spacious bottom,
of her shoe spread out before an cnamoretl
swain. W no had his pencil thoughtfully
suspended. Her hardened brother camc
| along.
'Put On the Declaration of Indepcnd
cnce, he said; ''therc's room for it, with
all tho signatures.
The girl took her foot away immediate
ly, because she wanted to stamp with it.

relativcs "Would thou have the dead re

'Yes, that would we"

She did not care to discuss the point
with the ignorant fellow, 80. to conceal her

the piano. The woods were filled with
music. The mocking bird wl4istlcd rs If
his throat would split, the cuckoo filled the

Her first impulse was TO hurl the piano

more she went at the piano rs if it was the
young mans head and was insured fol
double its value. The thunder growlcd,
the lightning flashed Grom her eyes,, and
the first Eeavy drops are heard upon the
leaves. She banged and mauled the KEYS
at fearful rate; peal after peal of dcafen

Indians and Fireworks.

The Indian has a hard time of 1t, alto.
gether. An Idaho mining camp intending
to celebrate the Glorious Fourth In bang IN
style, ordered heap of fireworks to be sent
TO them. whole wagon load went on,
anu while on its way was captured one
night by band Of Indians. They didn't
exactly know what kind of property they
had got hold of, and proceeded to investi-
gate The chief thought the cannon crack
ers were cigars and the little ones cigarettes.
which article he'had seen Ill use at the var
ious camps he had visited, and he distri-
butcd lot around, and they all lighted up
Tor a smoke, ana pretty soon amore surpris-
ed and puzzled set of Indians never got to-
gether. The chief had cannon cracker,
and after the explosion it was three min
utes before he could get breath enough to
yell, and then the wild shricks he gave
could be heard five miles away. That
ended the smoking. Another buck fell off
the top Of the wagon with box of giant
torpcd1es, and the crash that greeted him
as he allghted scared him 30 that he got ,lp
and ran Off at brcakneck speed. A sauaw
contrived to get pin wheel af1re, and as
she dropped it on the ground the natural
tendency of the thing to whrl around
made IL go kiting along the ground like a
wheel of fire, sending out shower of
sparks and causing the affrighted lady to
scud away from it, with her eyes as big as
sauccrs, with terror. The pin-w1,eel got
under the wagon and ignitcd 1t, and the
Indian at first tried to cxtinguished the
flames, and pretty soon Roman candle
went off, and before the man who was hit
by the first ball on the nose could clap his
hand On the injured member, another bau
caromed there and then a third, and then
the rockets began to 60 off and hit the bucks
lit the legs and ribs and the different col
ored fires threw first red and then a blue
light upon the scene, and the "mines''
blew up and filled the air with Kissing ser
pcnts and other things horrid to behold,
and more pin-whee!s got loose, and when
buck jumped to avoid pin-wheel he got
IN the air just in time to be hit by rock
ct, and almost everybody got more or less
burned, and in about five minutes crowd
OF the worst scared and most frantic In
dians the world ever saw. was scurrying off
IN the darkness across the prairie believing
with pain and fear. And the next load Of
mo"oine sohI tniouSh IiiaI IoSion

Romance or q Postal CnrtI.

a postal card, was purchased in New
YORK, on November 20, 1879, decorated
with two one cent stamps, suitably inscrib
cd and addressed to London, England. BY
some mischancc it failed to secure accom-
modations in the mail bags which left on
the steamer of that date, and its voyagc
was delayed until the departure of the next
mail steamer, 1t arrived at it's destination
on Dec. l3, just fifteen days from the time
1t was deposited in the New York Post
Office. From London it jonrneyed to Mar
scillcs, France, arriving there on Dec IL,
showing no sighs Of sea sickness or fatigue.
On Dec. 26, 1t was manipulated by the
officials of Cairo, Egypt, who wished it a
merry Christmas and ''God speed" on its
voyage, to Bombay, India, where 1t landed
OH Jan. 16. 1880. On Feb. Q, the almond
eyed Celestial who rules the destiny of the
Post Office mt Singapore, China, gave it a
ticket of leave in we'll known laundry
hleroglyphics, and allowed IL to depart tho
empire for Yokohama, Japan, where it was
received March 8. Becoming homcslcls at
this point, the plucly postal card embark
ed on an American bound vessel, and on
March 2G, 1t reached San Francisco. AL
though 1t had travelled over nearly as much
territory as ex-Frcsidcnt Grant> its arrival
was signaiZcd by no demonstration from
Dennis Kcarncy's fellow townsmcn. 1t was
met at the wharf by the officials of the
Mail Department-th drivers of tho wag-
ons-and quietly conveyed to tho Post
Office, where 1t was tcndcrul n reception
by the distributing clerks, and quietly CO.
cortcd to a train en- route for New York.
On April 3, IL took up permanent quarters
with Mr.. Rogers in New York, the city
where 1t first saw the light. 1t bears its
honors mcckly and refuses, courtcously b,f,
firmly, to be interviewed. The time con.
sumed in this noteworthy journey was as
follows: Starting from New York tho
voyage to London consumed fifteen days tt
Marscilles, nineteen days; to Cairo, twenty
seven days; to Bombay, forty eight days;te
San Francisco, 10 days; to New York, af
ter voyage around the world, 1877 days.
