Lightning Holes.

Prof. Brun has published in the dr.
chives de Genere an interesting study on
the so-called lightning holes to be found
In the High Alps. He and other in
vestigators have found them at heights
from 3.34S to 1000 meters, or be-
tween 1000 and 5000 feet above the
sea level. Usually they are found on
SUBMITS. Sometimes the rocky mass,
which has been vitrified in the passage
of the electric fluid, presents the appear
ance of scattered pearls, sometimes of
series of semispherical cavities only
few millimeters in diameter, Some
times there are vitrified rays going
out from a central point to a
d stance of four CT five inches, Some
times block detached from the mass
appears as if bored through by a can
non ball, the hollow passage being
quite vitrified. The thickness of this
vitrifcd coating or stratum never ex-
ceeds millimeter, and is sometimes no.
more than the quarter of that depth.
The varying color which it presents de-
pend upon the quality and composition
Of the rock. The same may be said as
to its transparency. On the Rungfisch-
horn the glass thus formed by the light
ming is black owing to the quantity oil
actinolith. which the rock contains. II
is brown on La Ruinettc, the rock con-
sisting of feldspar mixed with gneiss
containing ohlorido ofitog, Under the
microscope these lightning holes display
MANY interior cavit es, which must be
attributed to the presence Of water in
the rock at the moment of melting by
the electric discharge. This vitrified
material hos no influence on polarized
light. - ~

Winged whitely--satled away;
While each wave danced, and sighed content
Lisped love, and kissed her rs she went.
A maiden stood-with longing eyes
Upon a sandhills crest,
And watched her lovers barque sink low
Far out toward the West

Bring back my own true love to mep'
50, every day, when time had sped,
She paced along the shore,
Aud watched, or fancied that she heard
Faint through the surge's roar
The well-known Observation-Disclosures
At which her very soul rejoiced.
Thus one night, when stars looked down,
When waves sang low and sweet
They brought her lover in their arm
And laid him at her feet;
Upon his calm expressive face
Deaths nameless mystery and grace.
What they had taken out with joy,
With murmurs back they gave.
Her lover, rocked to dreamless sleep
BY moaning wind and wave,
They brought him from out the distant West
To sleep upon the maidens breast.

An Obstacle to Physical Well Being.

Physicians rightly characterize constipation
as an obstinate impediment to the welfare Of the
body. The performance OF the more important
functions, such as digestion, hillary secretion
and an active circulation Of the blood, are inter
rupted by it in greater orless degree. as the de-
velopment OF the complaint Is incipient or ma
ture. Not at once, OF course, but with reason
able promptitude, Hostetter's Stomach Bite rs
will remove every symptom to which 1t gives
rise, as well as the minor maladies that spring
from it, among them digestion and chronic bill
iousness. From drenchng cathartics it is vain
to hope for permanent benefit and there are few

Four Great Realists.

Four realistic novelists of genius.
two of our greatest painters of lower
life, and several of our best writer's in
middle-class comedy, fourished almost
contemporaneously. The coincidence
is sufficiently striking to suggest an in
teresting topic of discussion. But so
far as the modern novel is concerned,
a remarkable combination of circum-
stances favored its growth. Civiliza-
ton was descending. and, as facilities
of communication increased, spread
from town to the country; the middle
classes, who since the Revolution had
become social factors, were eager to
hear about themselves; in a peaceful
country. where wealth rapidly accumu-
lated, there grew up q miscellaneous
reading public; anew mode of en-
preston was required for q changed
form of society; prose was most con-
genial 10 the taste of the age. and a
good prose style had been lately per-
fected. III success in other directions
turned the attention of two men of ge-
MUS to the novel; Fielding and Smol-
lett, Like Cervantes and LIE Sage. failed
as dramatists before they exlored the
fresh field which was opened for the
display of their powers. As the new
weapon was perfected, its width of
range became more and more apparent.
Life everywhere at every period, human
nature in its most varied aspects, well
within its sphere. With extraordin ary
rapidity novelists annexed field after
field; to DeFoe's realism of fact was
laid Richardson's realism of character;
to the rich and varied pictures of real
life which Fielding and Smollett painted,
were added Sterne's subtle analysis of
lighter shades of feeling and Goldsmith S
domestic idyls; by her sketches of So
ciety Miss Burney opened out sphere
in which women writer's have peculiar
ly excelled; lately. the romantic school
spread out before the eyes OF their
readers an overwhelming range of his
torical fiction and novels of incident or
of passion. AS painters of the man.
ners, satirists of follies, or censors OF the
morals of mankind, novelists usurped
the functions of the Addisonian essay
lists and the Johnsonian moralist. Ex-
cept during the brilliant reign of Foote,
they encroached upon the domain OF the
drama. More technical skill is required
for the stage, while dramatsts are ex-
cluded from many sources OF interest
which novelists may employ.-1he

War Jokes.

1t was fun to old boys to haze 2 few
companies of hundred-day men station
ed among them, as were three COM
panies from Ohio in 1864, near Fort
Worth, with Wilson'S Battery, First
New York Artillery. These were the
most unsophisticated Of all the lads ey-
er seen in camp. and they would be-
lieve any ''seil" which the "old boys
were pleased to impose upon them.
Some of the ''old boys" had received
boxes from home we'll stored with ia
BILE goodies not found in camp. such as
are prepared by MOTHER g, sisters, or
wife's careful hand, among the con-
tents of which were butter, cheese.
honey, pickles, etc.
These rural Ohioans, seeing these
delicacies in the hands of the ''0ld
boys" inquired why it was that they
had none. They were asked in reply.
if they got none, and tod to draw them
as they did. They naturally supposed
''draw them" meant 60 to the Quarter.
master for them, and accordingly went.
1t did not take that functionary long to
make known to them how such rations
were ''drawn."
Another joke, more practical and
less profitable to the wag who perpe-
trated it, was played on Tom Brown
by Sam Green, preceded by the follow

A Girafe's Memory.

The funniest thing l ever saw or
heard of in connection with the memo
~ of animals happened one year when
l was out west with a travelling menag-
erie. You've heard, of course, how ell
ephants will remember an insult twenty
years, some say longer. Well, this lit
tie incident concerned giraffe gi-
raffes, are not generally credited with
much sense. anyway, to say nothing OF
memory. But this one showed great
deal of the latter quality. anyway. We
had got as far as Rock Island. ILL.,,
where we had to cross the Mississippi on
all old ferry, that being before the big
government bridge was built there.
Everything went all right until we came
to this giraffe. He wouldn't 60 on the
ferry. Coaxing, soaring, pushing, beat
ing did no good. He simply lay down
on the river bank and would not
bulge. While was working over him
the ferry made another trip. When
she came back up gets Mr.. Giraffe as
spry as you please the first time l urged
him and marched straight on to the fer
ry. Several people who had been on
the boat the trip before and seen the gi-
RATES. queer capers on the other side Of
the river were waiting to see what kind
of luck l had. Well, the boat was fifty
feet or so from the down shore when
that giraffe happened to turn his head
toward the landing and see those peg
pie. He gave giraffe trumpet, and,
before l knew what he was doing, Jump
ed over the rail into the water. It took
thrce-quarters of an hour to pull him
out. Now, what do you think was the
matter with that giraffea discovered it
while the crowd was gathering around
the rescued animal below the dock.
Among the people was one tall, slim
young fellow the giraffe seemed to have q
part cular aversion to. When he saw the
young man near him he began to trem-
BILE violently, and made desperate ef-
forts to break away. 1 questioned the
young man, and found that year be-
fore he had crossed on the ferry-boat
with this menagerie. There was a gi-
raffe among the animals on the lower
deck, and his head had stretched away
up to the passenger deck of the ferry,
where the young man was sitting with
some friends. AS the giraffe's long
neck had come twisting around in his
direction he had been cruel enough to
take a quid of tobacco and throw it
down the giraffe open mouth. No
doubt it was the same giraffe l had with
me then, and no doubt, too. he recog-
nized his tormentor the instant his eyes
fell on h'm.-New York Commercial
