STRUCK BY A METEOR.

An Unprecedented and Most Interesting
Occurrence Reported from London.
A correspondent writes: Gas gen.
tleman, well known public official
was passingdrom St. James Park into
Pail Mall by the garden wall of Marl,
borough House, recently, at quarter
to five in the afternoon, he suddenly
received ON the right shoulder vio-
lent blow, accompanied by a loud,
cracking noise, which caused him
great pain and to stumble forward as
he walked. On recovering his foot
ing and turning round to see who had
so unceremoniously struck him, he
found that there was no one on the
pavement but himself and the police
man on duty at the park end of it. On
reaching home the shoulder was SUBJ
m;tted to examination, but nothing
was at first discovered to account for
the pain in it. But in little while the
servant who had taken away the coat
to brush brought it back to point out
that over the right shoulder the nap
was pressed down fiat in long,
straight line, exactly as if q hot wire
had been sharply drawn across the
cloth. The accident is therefore en-
planned as having been caused by the
explosion of minute falling star or
meteor. 1t is an unprecedented and
most interesting occurrence, and de.
serves, ! think, to be placed on public
record. "--Losados Times.

A Remarkable Set of Books.

The city of Paris has become lately
the possessor of a remarkable collec-
ton of documents, which will have
great interest in years to come for his
torical investigators. This was the
series of death warrants. extending
from 7th April, 1903, to 8th December.
1882, belonging to Samson, the motor
ious headsman of the revolution. The
collection was bound up in 19 volumes,
and Samson has prefixed to each vol
ume summary of the contents. 1t
appears that during 25 years he ex-
ecuted 7,143 capital sentences, being
an average of 217 executions in each
year-rather busy life. During the
25 years he only twice ascended the
scaffold without fatal result--once in
1915, when General Count Lavalette
was to have been executed for com
plicity in the return of Napoleon. but
escaped the night before his intended
execution through the heroism of his
wife. The second time was in 1917,
when Philippe Jean Antoine. q noted
coiner, was respited at the last moment
by Louis XVII1.-Londou Times.

THE COMING GIRL
An Exceedingly Pleasant Prophecy as to
What She Will Be.

An Exceedingly Pleasant Prophecy as to
What She Will Be.
The coming girl will cook her own
food, will earn her own living and will
not die an old maid. The coming girl
will not wear the Grecian bend. dance
german, ignore all possibilities of
knowing how to work, will not en-
deavor to break the hearts of unso-
phisticated young men, will spell cor
rectly, understand English before she
affects French, will preside with equal
grace at the piano or wash-tub, will
spin more yarn for the house than for
the street, will not despise her plainly
clad mother, her poor relations, or the
hand of an honest worker; will wear
bonnet, will darn her own stockings
and not read the story paper oftener
than she does her Bible.
The coming girl will walk five miles
a day, if need be to keep her cheeks
aglow; will mind her health, her physi-
cal development and her mother; will
adopt costume both sensible and con-
ductive to health; will not confound
hypocrisy with politeness; will not place
lying to please above frankness; will
have courage to cut an unwelcome
acquaintance; will not think refinement
French duplicity; that the assumed hos
pitality, where hate dwells in the heart,
is better than condemnation, will not
confound grace of government with
silly affection; will not regard the end
of her being to have beau.
The coming girl will not look to
Paris but to reason for her fashions;
will not aim to follow foolish fashion
because milliners and dressmakers de-
cree it; will not torture her body, shrivel
her soul with puerilities, or ruin it with
wine and pleasure. In short. the coming
girl will seek to glorify her Maker and
to enjoy mentally His works. Duty
will be her aim and life a living reality.

Emanuel Franz was born in
Bedford county Pa, in the year
1894 and died in Logan, O., Sept 25,
1886 in the SD, year of of his age.
At the age of nine years his faith
er moved to Allegheny Co., Mary
land, and at the age of nineteen
he moved back with his father to
Bedford where he married Miss
Margaret Mickey, April Is 1926.
After his marriage he lived 8
years in Petersburg Pa, when he
moved to New Lexington, Perry
county, in the fall of 1929, after
living there AZ years, in the spring
of 1871 he moved to Logan, O.,
where he remained till his death.
The Lord blessed Mr.. and Mrs.
Frantz with long and happy we'd
lock of fifty six years and seven
months, when three years ago
God took her to himself.
The union of Mr.. and Mrs. Frantz
was blessed with eight children,
three sons and five daughters.
The deceased was one of nine
brothers of which all but one pre-
ceeded him to the grave.
Mr. Frantz's earlv religious train
ing was in the Lutheran church.
About II years ago when the
writer was holding a series of
meetings in New Lexington, Ohio,
there being no Lutheran Church in
his neighborhOod, he and his wife
united with the M. E. Church, in
communion with which they re-
mained till their death.
Bro. Frantz not demonstrative in
his religious life; his nature was re-
firing and reserved, but ever cheer
full. At times his life would spar
kle with a flash of innocent and
quiet humor.
He had high sense of honor
truth and righteousness.
AS his end drew near his religious
life was quickened, his faith in
creased, and his joy at times rose
higher. He desired to depart and
be with Christ and join his below
ed wife and companion for so many
years. He followed the injunc-
tion of Holy Writ, "Set thy
house in order for thou shalt die
and not live."
When the end came he was pre-
pared, his business adjusted, the
preparation for his interrment COM
pleted. Having made an end of
these things he joyfully awaited
the coming of the messenger, death
Being old and full of days, he
gathered up his feet into the bed,
yielded up the ghost and was gath
cred unto his people.
After suitable funeral ceremon-
les at his home, in the presence of
large multitude, his remains
were followed by long process
ion to the beautiful Oak Grove
Cemetery, Logan, o., where they
were deposited to await the resur-
rection morn.
