Lighsning's Freaks In India.


In the plains of India at the com
mencement of the monsoon, storms occur
In which the lightning runs like snakes
all over the sky at the rate of three or four
flashes In a second, and the thunder roars
without break for. frequently, one or
two hours at a time During twelve
years, residence in India l heard of only
two human beings and, l think, three
buildings Icing struck, although in parts
of lower Bengal the population amounts
to more than 600 to the square mile
I always attributed the scarcity of ac-
cidents to the great depth of the stratum
of heated air next to the ground keeping
the clouds at such q height tn most of
the flashes pass from cloud to cloud, and
very few reach the earth The idea Is
supported by the fact that IN the Hima-
layas, at 5000 feet objects are frequently
struck. have seen more than dozen
pine trees which had been injured by the
lightning on the top of one mountain
between {, 900 and 5000 feet high. In
the British islands thunder-storms are
said to be more dangerous Ia winter than
In summer, aud such q fact, Ii true, can
be-explained by the very thin stratum of
air then intervening between the clouds
and earth

SOCIAL CLUBS.
Some Reasons Why They Are Not Desirable
for Men or Women.

for Men Women.
New York Commercial Advertiser
A lady distinguished in literary circles. but
whose name is withheld at her request, in speak
ing or this new venture Of society, said this
afternoon: Il see no more occasion for a Climb
for women than a club for men. So far as can
determine, q club IS a place where men 60 to
eat and talk. can imagine other places within
the range of their possibilities that would be far
more eligible for perfect life than such resorts
disapprove of clubs because | think their
tendencies are bad. [ should counsel every
young man to avoid clubs, especially if he has
home. The men he meets are not of necessity
all they should be, the rivalry Of expenditure is
ever on the increase, and there are many other
influences which are not pleasant to discuss in
newspapers.
"Of course do not compare any club in
which such ladies these you have mentioned
are Interested with the average New York club
tor men. L know of no harm that could come
from such an organization but must add know
of no good. Society as we must have it in this
city, Is sufficient for social intercourse. Men and
women meet and exchange what views they
have, and at their ease. club whose aim ia
merely social is therefore wholly unnecessary.
Persons are inclined to become fancifuI at
times. and SO, | think. it is with these ladies.
Their objects without doubt most excellent
but in following out their plans I think
they will be doomed to disappointment. L have
been invited several times to Join Soross but
have informally refused because of my distaste
for organizations of that sort Yet Sorosis has
an object for it's existence. 1t is composed of
women, who, for the most part are interested
in professional pursuits, or are amateurs of
repute. Their aims are intellectual, rather than
social Yet Sorosis is not yet provided with
home.
Il should say without hesitation that club
for women, whose object is to secure place for
social intercourse, is unnecessary and | think
that you will find that whatever is unnecessary

Sam Jones on Fools.

Sermon at High Bridge.
A man IN Tennessee wrote me the other dav
about as follows: Jones, / understand you have
offered $500 reward to any man who will take
oath before justice of the peace, and sign his
name that he doesn't want to go to heaven and
if you will write me I'll meet you, and take the
oath, and get the money"
would be a fool to offer $500 for such man
and such an OATH l can get them all over this
country for dollar, and some even for fifty
cents, and some would sell out for
nothing, and board themselves. Look at
the picture. Of course, l never made such
proposition. A fellow saw 1t in the news
papers, and the only thing have against them
is that everything they publish is true That is
the only objection | have IN the world. You can
bank on anything you see in the newspapers
that is Southern newspapers. That's horrid
picture there isn't itl A man offers TO sell his
soul for $500. and sign, seal and deliver the in
strument My God what farce is this. Every
man that sells whisky, and every man that
makes whisky in this country is after the very
thing for what that fellow wanted to take an
oath for $500.

Now lovers fond in leafy lanes
Together walk
And Corydon exerts his palms.
While Phillis coy to listen deigns
And suffers him
To talk.
Though poor, the youth protests he loves
Her as his life.
They'll live, he swears, like turtle doves,
He begs her. squeezing tight her gloves,

But Phillis has richer beau,
La loves ways deft.

Now doth the North wind blow,
And now the snow,
In winding sheets,
Enshrouds the streets.
On leatiess trees
The poor birds freeze;
and hurrying to and fro
The shivering people go
In headlong haste
Across the waste,
To find, beyond the wintry storm,
Their freside corners, close and warm.
The lofty houses stop the blast,
And surfing eddies, thick and fast,
Form in the air, and swooping down,
Like BIZ DIS of prey upon the town,
Clutch-freezing grips in earth and flesh.
The winds enmesh
Themselves ia wraps and dress,
And here distress;
And there the rich and warm
Contend, alike against the storm.
a homeless dog goes shivering by;
The newsboy stops his frozen cry;
The guardians of the night, so bold,
Find blue-coats bluer with the cold.
The moon and stars a. out of sight,
Hid from the tumult of the night;
And elements on elements are hurled
To make a frozen fabric OF the world.

Whitney and Lowell Calendars for 1886.


The fact that the writings of James
Russell Lowell aud Mrs. A. D. r. Whit>
ney are used for these two new calendars
published by Houghton. Mifiiin and
Company, Boston, is in itself enough to
make them unusually attractive; but apart
from this the calendars are among the
prettiest in their decorations that have
yet appeared. The Lowell calendar has
an excellent portrait of the poet and a
view of Elmwood, his house his house in
Cambridge. The whitney calendar is
printed in gold and light tints. The de
sign is mathematical of the four seasons,
which are symbolished by figurei of lit
tie girls dressed in Kate Greenaway"

Commissioner Atkins Indian Policy.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec 4The annual
report OF Gen. Atkins, commissioner of In
dian affairs, expresses faith in the ultimate
civilization of the Indians and indorses the
plan of allottfng to them lands in
severalty The amount of land granted
to each Indian should vary with its
value as farming land, and the title to each
lot should he held in trust for its owner

land sharks The money paid for the bal
ance of each reservation should he invested
in 5 per cent bonds, the proceeds to he used

rights of citizenship should be bestowed on
the Indians
Of 100000 Indians in the United States,
exclusive of Alaska, only little more than
72, 600 are civilized Exclusive of the lands
cultivated by the five civilized tribes in
Indian territory, the number of acres cult
waited by Indians during the year was 24s,
PA, an increase of lS,473 since last
year. The commissioner presents at length
the various plans of the friends of tho
Indians for their settlement on individual
farms, but makes no definite recommends

Apache outbreak in Arizona is given. The
report says that wherever courts for tho
trial of offending Indians have been estah
