Another Electric Freak.

A lively young man with red mustache en-
tered New York eating house the other day
and took seat. He wore black neck-scarf
In which was thrust an odd looking pin. A
pretty waiter-girl came up, and while brushing
away the crumbs FROM behind the guest asked
for his order sYou may bring me some Bos-
ton baked" THE young woman did not
hear the conclusion of the sentence, for a bril-
hant light flashed from the odd scarf pin and
frightened her SO much that she nearly tainted
The young man glanced up with q look of mild
surprise, and said: sAre you faint?" The
waiter hurried off to the kitchen. The head
Of the house next approached. He put the
pepper bottle back in the castor, picked up q
doughuut from the floor, and was about to
make IN observation upon the superiority of
bis squash pies when fire again flashed from
the young mans scarf-pin .t'What--whac-
what is the matter with your necktie?" he
suffered, looking at the young man in a star
tied manner; sit was on fire just now sob,
guess that's all right" muttered the latter
with smile; "any trouble with it now?"
s'No, I can't see that there is, but" THE
fire again became luminous and shone with a
brilhancy never equaled by any diamond It's
an electric light on a small SCALE" said the
young man; Il have a little battery in my
pocket By pressing . button a current Of
electricity is conducted to the pin, which con-
tains small piece of carbonized bamboo, and
the light is produced. Big thing, isn't it?"

COOKING A GIRL
The Horrible Feast Prepared by rev
Zealand Chdefta1n.

The Horrible Feast Prepared by Q View
| Zealand Chtsftain.
From the Popular Science Monthly. Il.
Earle, who wrote 9 very readable, intel
igent andsbut little known account Of the
Maoris very early in the present CEN
tlry, speaks of the gentle manners and
kindly ways Of q New Zealand chief,
whom he afterward discovered to be an
inveterate cannibal. He relates that he
visited the place where was cooking a
young slave girl that his friend had kill
ed for the purpose. The head was sever
ed from the body the four quarters, with
the principal bones removed were COM
pressed and packed into small oven in
the ground, and coverd with earth. It was
case OF unjustifable cannibalism. No
revenge was gratified by the deed, and
no excuse could be made that the body
was eaten to perfect their triumph.
Earle says that he learned that the flesh
takes many hours to cook, that it is
very tough if not thoroughly cooked, but
that it pulls in pieces like bit of blot
ting paper if well done. he continues
that the-victim was handsome, pleas
ant-looking girl of sixteen, and one that
he used frequently to see about the pah.
To quote his own words: -
while listening to this frightful de-
tail we felt sick almost to fainting. We
left Atoi (the chief who had killed the
girD and again strolled towards the
spot where this disgusting feast was
cooking. Not native was now near it,
hot steam kept occasionally bursting
from the smothered mass, and the same
dog that we had seen take the head of
the girl now crept from beneath the
bushes and sneaked toward the village ;
to add to the gloominess of the whole
large hawk rose from the very spot
where the poor victim had been cut in
pieces. My friend and I SAT gazing in
this melancholy place; it was lower
ing, gusty day, and the moaning of the
wind through the bushes as it swept
round the hill on which we were.
seemed in unison with our feelings"
Earle goes on to relate how he and
three other compatriots whom he sum-
moned from the beach for the purpose,
with the F:nglishman's usual imperti-
nent interference aud intolerance of
customs differing from his own, deter
mined to Illustrate Atoi's intention.
They together visited the hill where the
flesh was cooking, and destroying the
oven, buried thu remains in the earth.
They found the heart put on one side
for the special delectation of their con-
slant friend and companion Atoi.
! Earle was afterward good .humoredly
told by the chief that their interference
had been of no avail, as they had found
the grave where the flesh had been
buried and opened it soon after he and
his friends had left, and finished cook
ing it and ate it all.

THE TORNADO SEASON Ap-
PREACHING
New \ ork Herald

New ork Herald
The meteorological conditions in the west
and south for the past two days, for the first
time this season, very nearly approached
those favorable 10 the genesis of tornadoes
Various theories of the birth of tornadoes
have been advanced. Mr. Sias Bent. Of st.
Louis, holds that when the cold. heavy
nortsern wind Of the Mississippi valley en-
counters the warm southerly current, the
former, owing TO its greater specific gravity,
wedges under or under-runs the light south
wind, and is thus placed between the warm
earth below and the warm south wind above
and, feeling the impulse of its increasing
temperature, begins TO expand, but being
still pressed onward by its own volume in
the rear, at last finds weak spot in the
stratum above when the fatal whirl origi-
mates in the breach thus made This the
DRY Is undoubtedly in accordance with
physical laws and observation. The death
dealing storm of the central valleys i
formed only when great thermal contrast
exist within limited areas. Yesterday at
the same hour the thermometer read
"a low as 81 degrees in the Upper
Missouri valley and 50 degrees on
the Lower Mississippi; the contrast on Sat
urday was still more striking-50 deg AT
st. Louis and - deg. at Nicksburg Fortu-
nately, 50 far this spring but few if any Sc
we're whrlwinds have been reported in the
south and west. But from present indica-
tons the truce between lie tGrnado-breed-
ing elements cannot long be maintained.
The western meteorologists should be on
the lookout for the periodic development of
tornadoes, and renew their efforts 10 fore
warn threatened districts Of their approach.

And the bright pelucid waters,

Where with soul enchanting raptures
And ecstatic bliss and JOY,
And symphonies and harmonies,
Without the least alloy:

Whose melliiluous strings
Are touched and tuned and sounded
By gentle scraph wings.

Both Jupiter and Mars,
Along their milky courses,
Paved brilliantly with stars:
Where amethyst and pearls,
In profusion brightly shine
Eclipsing all the extracts

They can pierce the rings of Saturn,
And visit all his moons,
