The house, large well-built structure,
wentcrashing down in an instant. The
two daughters and mother were crush

daughter, Eddie, l6 years of age. She
was covered SO deep beneath the brick

horse and two or three head Of cattle
killed. Not single house of any de-

blown and dragged over the ground

scattered by the winds. Buggics wag-

lcvelled and scattered like chaf1', but
fortunately only one OF his family, his
wife, was seriously bruised Pink IIarv-

infant Of a few months Was blown
more than hundred yards from the
house and was not found by the family,

citizen of Lancaster county, on his
way to town, found lying iii the road,
about six miles east of Lancaster court

The American Summer.

You go to a summer hotel down by
the sounding sea or away up In the
frowning mountains. Well, there
comes a day raw, foggy, cold, the mer-
curry drops th~irty-eight degrees In two
hours. You wander all over the house,
upstairs and down, from cellar to root
and back again shivering in your sum-
mer clothes, hunting a fire. There is
none There isn't a fireplace In the
house. Nor a stove. Nor any place
to put one, You can't have a fire.
You can sit around and SILVER, and
that's the best you can do, and you
don't have to make any effort to do it.
Who ever heard of a fire in a summer
hotel, the proprietor scornfully asks,
and the clerk says with greater scorn
that nobody ever asks for such a thing
except some greenhorn from the west.
That's all right you are accustomed
to have the proprietor and clerk use you
for an ottoman 80 you don't mind that.
But about 2 O'Clock the next week.
when you are in bed snatching a mo-
ment's sleep, while the mosquitoes go out
and sing, when it is so hot that the
shingles on the house warp and curl up,
the hotel catches fire In six places,
burns to the ground and you escape
with the clothes that you wear In bed.
That's what makes you mad.

Vegetarian Dict.

Prof. Allison says You suppose
vegetarians eat fish. Now the vegeta-
tartan draws a line at all things that
have had life, and does not use them.
AS butter, cheese, eggs, and milk are
not obtained by the slaughter of anil
mails, he uses them. Most vegetarians
are converts from a mixed diet, and so
look with favor on dishes reminding
them of old days, and as reforming is
difficult work, we try to make the
change as easy as possible. After
years of trial the vegetarian becomes
less dainty as regards his food, and eats
with relish brown bread aud fruit.
With regard to the unlimited use Of
animal products, / know some families
who never use these articles, yet they
turn you out a most tempting array OF
dishes from the vegetable kingdom
only.
AS to variety, l am afraid it Is tou-
jours perdri1 with mixed feeders, who
ring the changes on beef, mutton, veal
and poultry, and then begin again.
We, on the contary. have grains in
abundance and products made from
them besides a mixture made from
them in varying proportions. We also
have pulse, nuts, gourds, roots, fungi,
vegetables and seaweeeds III endless
variety. We can have a fresh dish
every day in the year, and never two
alike. Workmen who p~atronlze the
vegetarian restaurant show by their
continued attendance the satisfying
nature of our food. If the British
workman would use more peas, haricot
beans and lentils, barley, oatmeal, etc.,
he would be better in pocket and mor
independent. He could then make up
up a tasty dinner for the eoppers spent
in buying scraps of meat. Count Rum.
ford, in Bavaria, showed how to feed
large masses of poor at the cost of one
penny a day His nourishing soup con-
sisted of peas, barley, potatoes and
bread, with seasoning, "Who eats
beef thinks beef is an apt parody.
John Bull is always depicted as a
paunch-bellied individual. Lewes,
who wrote against us, said he tried
vegetarianism for six months and that
the only difference it made in him was
that he could study directly after his
dinner. AS for ''flow of soul, a vege-
tartan dinner allows of the highest
mirth, and ''wit a%boundeth )" next
day there are no ''hot ~coppers" and the
evenings amusement will bear the
mornings reflection. About the o
quering races of the world eating flesh
and drinking alcohol, why have not
the Eskimo and the hunters of South
America conquered the world-they
live almost entirely on flesh ? What
have they done for science and human
ity Nothing. The races who have
done most for humanity are not the
hunters but the tillers of the soil, who
get a hundred fold for their outlay, and
consequently have more time to devote
to the improvement Of themselves and
their surroundings, as they are not
obliged to spend all their time in get
ting food. Let every visitor to the
Healtheries try me Of our dinners and

WATCH, MOTHER, wAT0H.
Mother, watch the little feet,

Notner, watch the llJtle feet,
Climbing Ger the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall;
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs
Little feet will go astray
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother, watch the little hand.
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay,
Never dare the question ask,
"Why to me this weary task ?"
These same little hands may prove,
Messengers of light and love.
Mother, watch the little tongue,
Prattling eloquent and Wild,
What is said and what is sung
By the happy, joyous child;
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before tbs broken
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in a Saviour's name.
Mother, watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for YOU
Wholesome lessons now apart
Keep, oh keep that young heart true.
Extrlcating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed,
Harvest rich you then may see.
Rlpening for eternity.

Tho Grisette OF Paris

The grissette, the young Partisan
work girl, is, however, still in exis-
tence and she is as young, as fresh, as
lively, and as ANXIOUS for artistic SEM
sations as was aver the ''Mimi Pinson''
Of Murger's "Vie de Boheme." Even
when devoid of personal beauty, there
is something captivating about the
grisette, especially when seen in the
midst of such surroundings as the Cafe
des Amis d'Orphe presents. Under the
influence of the music her eye lights up,
sparkles, dilates, or swims with languor,
according as the rhythm is lively or
tender; her features become trans
figured; the flow of the melody seems
10 sway her whole being and a sort of
ideal possession seems to have laid hold
Of her, to which she gives herself up, in
the enthusiasm of the moment, with,
out reserve. There is a peculiar essence
of art and artistic feeling about the
Partisan populace such as is not to be
found among the working classes OF
any other city or country and they form
par.excellence the elite of the monde
DIES travailleurs of the continent.
Their instinct, their innate sptitudes,
their traditions, everything predestine
them to art. Each one is, so to speak,
the depository of a morsel Of the prin-
ciple of creative beauty; all forms of
art, harmony Of sound, form and color,
have a sort of mystic hold on the most
secret fbers of their being. If you
should have the opportunity to study
the working classes in the principal
European center you will soon become
convinced of the truth of what / have
Just said and will hardly consider exag-
gerated the saying of a certain Austrian
baron who once declared that "the
French workmen form the a~ristocracy
of labor" To this l would add that
they also form the a%ristocracy of loailng,
for there is certainly nowhere q laborlng
class that are as idle and good for moth
ing, in spite of all their artistic in
stlncts, as the Partisan ouvriers.
The grisette, the female of the ouy-
rier, Is, however, far from being an
idler, and her like cannot be found III
any other city in the world. If you
will watch one of them as she huns in
an undertone the broadly humorous
couplets of the old street musician you
at once perceive that she possesses an
entirely exceptional faculty of artistic
assimilation. She is a child of Paris,
and heaven has taught her to sing as II
has taught the fleet forest warblers, and
whom it has made an artist, as it ha,
made architects of the n~estbuilders.
She is a little muse sent forth into this
century of prose to temper its glacial,
freezing egotism. She empties the few
pennies that are left in her slender purse
into the dirty hat of the old musician
and Joins him in singing of love and OF
the spring time with that merry care.
Iessness which poverty alone knows.

A Dense Cloud.

A cloud so dense as to prevent per-
sons reading bold type at midday pass
ed over a great part of Lancashire,
England. recently. The unusual dark
ness lasted about an hour. From the
accounts by intelligent observers of the
occurrence, the cloud must have
consisted of finely divided carbon dust.
Rain, which fell copiously in some
places was as black as ink. At other
localities, where hail or snow fell, it
was noticed that each was likewise
black,
