Astonished burglars.

We have often read remarkable accounts
of the perfect self-possession of people uil-
der exciting circumstances. Old Mr.. Spaf
ford's GOODNESS, when he found burglars in
his kitchen, has an irresistible tinge of the
ludicrouS.
Mr.. Spafford heard some one moving in
the kitchen, and opening the door, asked
who was there Immediately two revolvers
were presented at his head, with the COM
mand: ''Your E.oney or your lifer'
'What?" asked Mr.. Spafford, who can
not hear very well.
''Your money or your lifev' repeated the
burglar.
'iOh, come nowr' said Mr.. Spafford;
''that'll do. / think you'd better go away
from here. Get out! want nothing to do
with youP'
With this he gave the burglars shove,
closed the door and returned to bed. This
strange conduct so puzzled the knights of
the jimmy that, after a consultation in the
kitchen, they left without disturbing any
thing. As memento ofs...their visit, they
scrubbed on the wall: swell done, old
boss p'-CIereJd7ld NelCS.

she seized her wig and rushed off to her
room. At six o'clock next morning she
moved to another clearinghouse, and Mr..
McWhorter, victim of woman's duplcity,
took the false hair from his locket. The
nurse has since been charged by the mother,
in case of Miss Octayia meeting the baby,
to refuse anything she might give it to eat
for fear that it contains arsenic.
Altogether opinion is divided upon the
baby i'll the room opposite to mine. Its
father declares that it is the handsomest
child that he has ever seen, and modestly
adds that it is the living image of himself.
Its mother says it is so quiet one hardly
knows what it is to have baby in the
house, though the next moment it will be-
gin crying at the rate of forty-fye miles an
hour. The ladies are enthusiastic in it's
praise, while the gentlemen regard it in the
light of necessary evil. Mr. Brown, the
grumpy old bachelor, who spends most of
his time in his room playing peaknuckle, is
perhaps of all the most emphatic in his de-
nunciation. He characterizes it as s'reg-

Trees and Electricity.

Mr.. Percy Smith writes to the Lon
don Times that :. the most probable
cause of the liability of certain trees to
be struck by lightning is that they are
bad conductors of electricity. The
suggestion that oak trees are struck
because they conta iron is both
erroneous and absurd. If oak did con-
tain iron, it would, in all probability,
increase its conducting power and act
as a preventative. If oak contained an
estirnable quantity of that metal, the
wood would turn black on exposure to
air, on account of the tannin which is
present This blackening may be seen
surrounding the iron nails in any oak
fence. The contour of the ground, ma
ture of the soil and the presence or
absence of water have more influence
in deciding the locality of an electric
discharge than tie height of tlee
Add to this the difference in conduct
bility between various woods and we

ing unframed while shorter trees are

An unfortunate Loss.

8 THAT burned speckled critter with the
broken horn" said an exasperated farmer,
''makes more trouble than all the cows I've
got put together. If could give her away
I'd do it. I'd fat her for beef but she'd
cost more'n she'd be wuth." 5sf#
That same night railroad train ran over
her and killed her, and the farmer, with
tears in his eyes, told the officer of the road
who was prepared to remunerale him for
his loss that If it had been any one of his
other cows he wouldn't care so much, but
to lose that valuable animal, the only thor
oughbred he ever possessed or expected to
possess, was a misfortune almost beyond
money reparation. 2. Sun.
