SEVERE HAIL SToRM.-Not a
summer passes that we do not hear
of hail storms of unprecedented
severity" in many parts of our broad
land. This past summer is no ex-
ception to the rule. Perhaps the
most remarkable.fall of hail occur
red in Warren county, Mo-, July l.
The extent of the storm was about
20 miles by less than 1 mile in width,
the heaviest fall of hail covering
about 2 square miles. Mr.. G. o.
Hardeman, OF Gray's Summit, as
sures us that the hail.stones were of
various shapes, and ranged in size
from that of hazlenut up to blocks
OF ice 1O3 inches long,5 inches wide.
and inch thick. The hail fell to a
depth of 5 or 6 inches on a level. and
In places where it was drifted against
houses or fences it reached depth
OF a foot or more. The damage done
was very great, the ice smashing not
only windows but sashes and blinds:
and the roofs Of all the houses in the
path OF the storm were so injured
that new roofs had to be put on. All
growing crops were destroyed, and
nearly all the poultry in the region
were killed, besides many hogs. The
horses, mules, and cattle exposed to
the storm were badly bruised some
had their eyes Knocked out, and 9th
ers were so seriously battered as to
be unfit for use for several days.
Forest trees were greatly injured,
the bark being torn from the sides
exposed to the Storm Scientific

A PIucky and Intelligent Dog,
Denver Coll Tribune

Recently a number of soldiers
went from Fort Craig to the Rio
Grande for a bath. Among them
was Captain Jack Crawford. After
being in the water about three quar-
tiers of an hour Captain Jack started
to cross toward the other side of q
sand bar, on which the water was
only from six inches to a foot deep.
Several of the others followed Jack,
and they had considerable fun trip
ping each other and rolling over in
the water, while two of the boys got
Jack down in the shallow water and
tickled him in the ribs until he was
nearly exhausted with laughter, be-
ing very ticklish. In order to get
away from his tormentors Jack roll
ed over toward the deep water Oh
the lower edge of the bar, and when
he got up on his feet he kept back
ing down stream, and although there
was not more than two feet of water
where he stood, yet the current was
so strong that it would carry him
down should he lose his footing. He
kept splashing water Oh those who
had been tickling him, and banter
ing them to come on after him, when
suddenly he made two or three des-
perate efforts to get back, but failed.
Yet he said not a word, or the 9th
ers might have joined hands and
reached for him. No one dreamed
for a moment that he was trying to
extricate himself from the quick
sand. All at once he went down
like piece OF lead.
The next instant Jacks dog Hero,
q beautiful st. Bernard, was seen
swimming toward his master, while
he set up a howl that seemed to say
"I'm coming" Jack came up about
twenty-five yards below where he
went down, and right in the center
Of a terribly swift current, near
where the river made a quick, sharp
turn. He was almost exhausted
when the sand broke from under
him, and, striking a whirlpool, he
could make little or 10 Roadway,
and had to use all his strength to
keep from being caught in the sue
ton. Hill, soldier, as soon as he
saw the dog go for Jack, also sprang
in the current, but Hero got to Jack
first, just as he was going down the
second time, and, taking him by the
hair of the head, brought him above
water. Jack, who never lost his
presence of mind, caught the dog
by the back just above the hip, and
the faithful Hero brought him safe
to shore, almost a mile below where
he first went down. This was mar
row escape, as an officer and five
soldiers went down nearly in the
same place few years ago and were
never seen.
An old Mexican brought Jack
over from the opposite shore in
boat, while Hero never ceased lick
ing his hands and face until he came
out Of the boat.

BUTTERMILK AS SUMNER FOOD,
DRINK, AND MEDICINE.-A Detroit
physician asserts that for q hot
weather drink nothing equals but
termilk. 1t is, he says, ssboth drink
and food, and for the laborer is the
best known. 1t supports the sys-
tenn, and even in fever will cool the
stomach admirably. 1t is also a
most valuable domestic remedy. It
will cure dysentery as well and more
quickly than any other remedy
known. Dysentcry is really con-
stipation, and is the opposite of di-
arrhea. 1t is inflammation of the
bowels with congestion of the spor-
tai circulation'-the circulation of
blood through the bowels and liver.
1t is a disease always prevalent in
the summer and autumn. From con-
siderable observation / feel war

drunk moderately, will cure every

TIT FOR TAT.-Mr. C-was pastor
Of Baptist church in a certain town
in one of the Western States. He
had been on very bad terms with his
flock for some time. They abused him
whenever they could find occasion,
and he reciprocated with equal readi-
ness. Before his contract with the
parish expired, he received his appoint
ment Of chaplain at the State-prison.
Elated at his lucky opportunity of
getting rid of him, the congregation
came in full numbers to hear his fare
well sermon, perhaps less to compli-
ment than to annoy him with their
presence. Great was their astonish-
ment, and still greater their anger,
when the reverend gentlemen chose
for his text the following words, Il go

A great many columns have been
written concerning typographical er-
rors, and many Of the instances sound
so witty or so stupid that it seems as
if they must be rather inventions than
actual happenings. But we never
saw one cited so unlikely that we
couldn't remember its match. Once
we wrote that it was ''like evoking the
shadow Of shade to quote forgotten
authors. The phrase appeared in
print thus: Like cooking the shadow
of shad." The printer had, in bur
lesqueing the sentiment, actually pre-
served and intensified it in most strik-
ing image of unsubstantiality. At
another time we had quoted the pro-
verbal opinion of Rosalind, "Men
have died and worms have eaten them
but not for love- The printer may
have been misogynist; at all events
he substituted women for worms. :"
There are Shakespeare emendations not
much better than that, perhap; In

ton to some one of a Bible ''bou nd in

the divine totality of being;' it was
reported as ''the sublime brutality of
feeling" This may have been che re-
porter's error; but not so when a
Methodist college president spoke of
sin as "a dark, guilty, damning fact, y
and found it published as "a dark,
quietly dawning fact" and describing
the death of Jesus as ''vicarious," saw
it in print ''vivacious This was in a
very religious paper, and another into
an eloquent hymn admitted this ques-
tionable temperance sentiment: Il
Praise Thee Still" Sometimes these
things are so funny that tha writer
can't be as angry as he would like;
but still that Virginian editor must
have been hopping mad" when his
powerful leader wound up with ''Cour-
age; tillers of the land. and forget, in
the excitement of politics, your pantry
and your nursery" He had written
poverty and misery" And how
must Astronomer Proctor have felt
when, having written of lines, hands
and stria near the violent end of the
spectra," he was represented as seeing
links, bonds and stripes for the vio-
lent kind Of spectres!' Perhaps as if
he had had peep into a spiritual lu-
matte asylum-which must be necessa-
