Freaks OF LiGhtnin1.

The most terrible thunder storm on
record is stated to be one which occurred
man years ago in the small village of
Chauteauneuf les Monsters, in the de-
partment of Basses-Alpes. During the
time of service, the village church was
struck by three masses of fire falling in
rapid succession.
Nine people were killed and eighty
two wounded; all had paralyzed limbs,
as well as sustaining other injuries.
The cure of Monsters, who had come
over to assist at mass, was found after
the first confusion had in some degree

Paralyzed. His garments were burnt,
the gold lace of his stole melted and
the silver buckles of his shoes broken
aid thrown to the other end of the
church. He suffered from the injuries
he had received for two months, and
his arms were paralyzed forever
The church was filled with thick
black smoke, through which the only
light to be seen was the flames of the
burning clothes of the poor creatures
who had been struck. A young child
was torn from its mothers arms and
flung about six PAGES from her; a
youth, at that moment chanting the
Epistle. felt as if seized by the throat,
and then was flung outside the church
door, the missal being torn from his
hands and riven to pieces. A young
man living in this neighborhood was
very low, and, his friends said, dying
from Consumption, but after taking q
few bottles of PiSO's C1re he f, " ,.o-

church were killed as they lay or stood;
and the officiating priest alone, clothed
in silk received no injury.

Not long ago heard an old gentleman
telling with great delight of how he was
once guest at the White House. 1t was
during Andrew Jackson's first tern. His
father was an ardent admirer of jackson
and insisted that the son, then just of age,
should make pilgrimage to Washington
for the sole purpose of seeing the old hero
They lived at Erie, Pa, and the long
journey bad to be made on horseback.
The young man took the tedious ride and
after refreshing himself at a Washington
hotel went up to the White House and
asked to see the president. When lie
was admitted he told Jackson that he had
ridden all the way from Erie to see HIM
The president asked his business and was
highly pleased when he was told that The
only object of the visit had been
accomplished in obtaining an interview
Jackson asked where the young mau was
stopping and on being told insisted on
sending down for his ho- and saddlebags
and retaining him as guest at the White
House. For week the young Penn
sylvanian enjoyed "Old Hickory's''
hospitality. On the morning of his
departure his horse. with the saddlebags

Inf ence Of Christ .antty Up>n Dress

Ann ence OF christ antty Up m Dress
During the time of Augustus Caesar
an event occurred at crowded inn in
small town of Judea which was des-
tined to influence, not merely a tribe
or an empire, but both hemispheres,
for no one can study the history of
dress without perceiving that the wild
extravagancies and the etfemlnatc
righteousness Oft, which grew to such
a height in the palace of Caesar, and
which all through the Middle Ages
continually required, were only sue
cessfully turned, kept under, or COM
batted by the teaching of the Christian
church. In its infancy and the early
days of persecution we find this church
condemning, with no uncertain sound,
the fashions of the time, the costly ar
ray, the excessive attention paid to
hair-dressing, and the over-adornment
with gold and pearls. With the de-
cline of the Empire, these vulgar-be-
cause immodest-displays of hnery in
creased; the mantle was no longer a
simple drapery, depending for it's beau
ty on its more or less accidental folds
and their natural lights and shades,
but was stiffened by two large squares,
embroidered and often covered with
pearls and precious stones, applied on
the straight side of the mantle, so that
when the garment was on, one square
hung across the chest, aud the other
across the back. The borders of the
tunic were loaded with Jewels and
plates of gold; the stuffs themselves
were made heavy and stiff with woven
patterns of gold, further weighted with
pearls and stones; until through all
this rank overgrowth it was hard TO
believe that the costume was in direct
descent from the most beautiful the
world had ever seen.

Children who Ask.

Mrs. Mary c. Hungerford has some
wise words in Our Country Home about
answering the boys. Children, both
boys and girls, ask all manner of ques-
tons just because they are curious and
want to know. The child that does
not ask questions must be lacking in
Intelligence. and the gist of Mrs.
Hungerford's advice is that mothers
should not be ashamed to oandidly own
their ignorance when unable to answer
some puzsling query. Evasive answers

Cows with Broken Logs.


The American Dairyman says
"When by any accident horse gets
his leg broken, it is both charitable and
reasonable to kill him, for the chances
are thousand to one that he will neve,
again be of any account. With a COW,
however, the circumstances alter. All
the use COW ever makes of her leg is
to carry her carcass around. Then
her bones are not so spongy as horses.
A COW, if left alone, and she is young,
will get we'll, and apparently not suffer
from the injury. We once owned a
lovely little Jersey heifer. One day to
our amazement, we discovered that one
OF her hind legs was dangling and
broken. We were heartbroken, and
may have shed tears, for that was
really the first 'Alderney' heifer we
ever owned. We thought, of course,
she would die, and we did not know
what to do with her, 50 we ordered her
put back in the lower pasture with her
calf, and had not the heart to ask any,
thing about her. Business carried us
away every day, but at the end of two
or three weeks the hcifer came up with
the herd, and while there was a slight
lump inside on the thigh where the
break occurred, and the leg was a little
crooked, yet for all practical purposes
she was entirely cured. We have heard
of several similar cases, but think it
would be absolutely necessary to splint
the leg if the break occurred below the
knee or gamorel joint. In that in
stance it might be necessary to put the
cow in a sling, because if the broken
leg was front one, she could not get
up after lying down. But with COW
or calf, never give them up for broken
limbs, but cali in assistance and do
something for them, if it is only to
bring them their food and water to
save them from painful exercise
