Protection from Lightning.
Denver Dem crat.


The fatal lightning stroke is SO frequent
this season that persons much exposed to
thunder storms should take all known pre-
cautions against it. In a scientific paper
recently read before the Royal Meteorologi-
cal Society G. J. Symons, F. R. S., the Eng
lish meteorologist, presented large mass
of important data on the phenomena of
thunder storms. Ordinarily persons ex-
posed to thunder storm flee to the nearest
shelter to escape wetting Mr.. SymOns
shows that IF man is thoroughly wet it
is impossible for lightning to kill him."
he refers to a remarkable proof of this
fact. The great scientific lecturer, Fars-
day, once demonstrated to his audience at
the Royal Institution that with all the
powerful electrical apparatus at his dis
posal it was impossible for him to kill
rat whose coat had been saturated with
water. 1t would be we'll, therefore, for .
person in a severe thunder storm and liable
to a thunder stroke to allow himself to be
drenched with rain at the earliest moment
possible, and in the absence of sufficient
rainfall to avail himself of any other means
at hand to wet his outer apparel.

PRINCE OF MONACO.
Prince Albert, who Succeeds His
Father, Charles I'LL.

By the death of his blind father, Charles
I'LL, on September II, in his list year,
Prince Albert, who was born in 1848, be-
comes sovereign of Monaco. He has made
himself widely known by his enthusiasm
over the Gulf Stream and his singular
divorce, in September, 1880, from his wife,
Lady Mary Victori, daughter of the Duke
of Hamilton. The Duchess of Hamilton
was q princess of the House of Baden, and
so related through Beanharnais to Napo-
leon ILL., In 1871 Lady Mary left her hus-
band and applied to the Pope for divorce
on the ground that the union was made
against her will. Ten years later the Vati-
can granted the divorce, but declared the
son be IN of the marriage legitimate. Sub
sequently Lady Mary married the Hunga.
rian magnate, Count TassilO FesteticO. For
reasons not stated, Prince Albert has post
poned his proposed marriage with the
Duchesse de Richelieu. When, some twen-
ty years ago. M. Blanc was expelled from
Prussia he made an agreement with the
Prince of Monaco to transfer his gambling
houses to Monte Ca 10, where q casino was
built, the prince to receive Is per cent. of
the profits. The Prince of Monaco's sub
jects number about six thousand, and he
has standing army of seventy men
Prince Albert is opposed to the gambling
houses, but thus far has not succeeded in
suppressing them.
The Monaco princes belong to the house
of Grimaldi which is one of the oldest in
Europe, having received the principality
from the European Otho, of Germany, nine
hundred years ago. So numerous are the
titles possessed by the princes of the house
that quarter of a column would barely
suffice to enumerate them, a circumstance
which cOmpels their omission.

The Singer sewing machine company
have been contemplating moving one Of
their large factories further south 80 az to
be more convenient to the raw material
They wrote to their agent at Danville, Mr..
P. II. Idol, to select new location for one
of their factories. He selected Danville
and the company sent an agent to look at
the place. He was delighted with the
tow as soon as he saw it, as well as its rail-
road facilities its surrounds, ETC., and, be-
ing informed that he could get ground at
reasonable price, he was on the point of
making favorable report to his company
recommending the town as suitable lOca-
ton for factory, when he inquired about
it's school facilities
''Oh. they are excellent" said Mr.. Idol
"Danville has long been noted for its fne
schools"
Are they public or pay schools?" asked
the agent.
''They are pay schools" replied Mr.. Idol.
"But you have no public school? again
asked the agent.
II am sorry to say that at present We
have not" replied Mr.. Idol. I'VE have
good private schools, and our people
thought they were sufficient"
81 am sorry 1 can't recommend Danvills,
then" said the agent Our company can
not afford to come here, where you have
no public schools, and not even school
building. Our employees have been used
to good public schools for their children,
and if we were to bring them here they
would demand higher wages on the ground
that they would have to pay for the educa-
tion of their children, and in the end our
company would practically have their
school bills to pay.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
The Surgeon and the Soldier Whose
Life He Saved.

A very romantic meeting between two
old soldiers took place in Minneapolis
few days ago during the National Conven-
tion of Foresters B. B. Levy, of New
York, who was attending the convention,
has been specially designated as hero by
an act of Congress. When the war broke
out he enlisted in the First New York Vol
unteers as drummer, being only Is years
of age. His regiment was hard pressed on
the retreat from Richmond under McClel
Ian, and the boy dropped his drum, took
gun from the hands Of dead comrade and
charged in the front rank. The color
bearers were shot down and the Stars and
Stripes were for a moment trampled under
foot and in imminent danger of capture.
But only for moment, for young Levy
rushed back, and fighting desperately
seized the colors and bore them triumph.
antly back to his retreating regiment.
An eye witness to his heroic act was
Gen. Phil Kearney, and he at once pro-
NOTED Levy from drummer to color SER
geant. When the time of his regimentwas
out he re enlisted in the 10th New York.
At the battle of the Wilderness Levy was
seriously wounded by compound fracture
of the thigh, and was leJt on the field for
dead. A brave surgeon who stayed by his
fellow comrades at the risk of his life,
tended Levy's wounds. Before he could
be removed from the field he was captured
by Col. Whites guerillas, but after several
weeks was recaptured by Northern troops.
His acts of gallantry were reported to con-
grees, and by special act he was decorated
with cross in recognition Of his services
and bravery in saving the colors at Rich
mond. While in Minneapolis he acci
dentally overheard the name of DR.. O. j.
Evans, and, wondering if it could be the
same gallant surgeon who had saved his
life on the battlefield. called at his ad-
dress. Sure enough it was the same, and
for the first time in twenty-five years the
two comrades met and clasped hands with
q feeling only old soldiers can understand.

United States Minister to Bolivia.

President Harrison filled the Bolivian
mission by selecting for the post Thomas
Il. Anderson, of Cambridge, Ohio. Mr..
Anderson is well known lawyer of the
Buckeye State, and was at one time prose-
cutting attorney of Guernsey county. He
has served acceptably for several years as a
member of the State central and executive
committees of the Republican party of
Ohio, and has been the law partner of Con-
gressman Joseph D. Taylor, of the seven
teenth Ohio district. Though Bolivia
shared with Peru the disasters of the war
with Chill. and has suffered from periodic
revolutions a la Mexico, the rediscovery
and prospective re opening on large scale
of her rich gold mines may perhaps create
a new gold fever and make a backward
country the centre of immigration. The
United States minister to Bolivia is also
consul general to that republic.

THE USE OF THE EYES.
A List of Rules to egulate Iha
Matter.
Cassell's Magazine.


ICassells Magazine.l
l. Sit erect in your chair when reading,
and as erect when writing as possible. If
you bend downward you not OILY gorge
the eyes with blood, but the brain as well,
and both suffer. The same should apply
to the use of microscope. Get one that
will enable you to look at things horizon
tally, not always vertically
2. Have reading lamp for night use. N.
Bib reading the light should be on the
book or paper, and the eyes in the shade.
If you have no reading lamp, turn your
out danger to the eyes
3 Hold the book at your focus; if that
begins to get far away, get spectacles.
4. Avoid reading by the fickerlDg light
of the fire.
S Avoid straining the eyes by reading
in the cleaning.
g. Reading in bed is injurious as rule.
1t must be admitted, however, that in cases
of sleeplessness, when the mind is inclined
to ramble over Thousand thoughts
minute, reading steadies the thought and
induces to sleep.
Z. Do not read much in q railway car
riage. 1 myself alway do, however, only
in good light, and l invariably carry
good reading lamp to hook on behind me.
Thousands of people would travel by night
rather than by day if the companies could
only see their way to the exclusive use of
the electric light.
8. Authors should have black ruled
paper instead of blue, and should never
strain the eyes by reading too fine types.
g. The bed room blinds should be red
or gray, and the head of the bed should be
toward the window.
10. Those ladies who not only write but
sew, should not attempt the black seam by
night.
II. When you come to an age that sug
gests the wearing of spectacles, let no false
modesty prevent you from getting pair.
If you have only one eye an eyeglass will
do; otherwise it is folly.
IL. Go to the wisest and best optician
you know of and state your wants and
your case plainly and be assured you will
be properly fitted.
49, Remember that bad spectacles are
most injurious to the eyes and that good
and well chosen ones are decided lux
ury.
IA. Get pair for reading with and if
necessary a long-distance pair for use out
of doors.

Only sparkle Of sunshine,
A tiny sparkle Of dew.
And then the beautiful flower
Gently unfolded to view.
Its snowy leaves slowly opened
With quiver Of delight;
Then turned in sweet and giad surprise
To welcome the morning bright.
Its heart like q golden chalice
Was fragrant with odors rare,
Which rose as inceb Sc pure upon
The breath OF the waiting air.
And thus with q CLEAN of sunshine,
And pure as the spark ling dew

Unspotted by stain of sin?
Only by keeping the sweet heaf' pure

HTHE NEXT WHO DIES.c

The following remarkable poem wa
written by a young Irish officer named
Bartholomew Bowling when the British
soldiers stationed in India were dying by
the score of plague. The pestilence hat
already marked Bowling for q victim
when the lines were written, and a few
hours thereafter he took his place with the
brave dead in that far off land.
We meet meath the sounding rafter,
And the walls around are bare,
As they echo the pea1s of lauR hter,
II seems that the dead are there.
But stand TO your glasses steady;
We drink to our comrades eyes;
Quaf a cup to the dead air eady,
And hurIah for tt next who diesl
Not here are the goblets flowing,
Not here is the VII tge swee;
'Tis cold, as our hearts are growing,
And dark ss the dot m we meet.
But stand TO your glasses steady,
And soon shall our pulses rise;
A cup to the dead already,
Hurrah for the next who dies
Not a sigh for the lot that darkles,
Not tear for the frien DIS who sink;
We fall midst the winecup's sparkles
As mute as the wine we drink.
SO stand TO your glasses steady
'Tis in this that our respite lies
One cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next who diesi
Time was when we frowned at others,
We thought we were W ser then;
Ha! ha Let those think of their mothers
Who hope to see them again.
mol Stand to your glasses steady,
The thoughless arc here-the wise;
cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next who dies
There's many hand that's shaking,
There's many a cheek that's sunk;
They'll burn with the wine we've drunk;
So, stand TO your glasses steady,
IT'S here the revival lies;
cup to the dead already
Hurrah to the next who dies!
There's a mist on the grass congealing-
IT'S the hurricanes fiery breath,
And thus does the warmth Of feeling
Turn ice in the grasp OF death.
Ho stand to your glasses steady,
For moment the vapor flies;
cup for the dead a ready,
Harrah for the next that dies!
Who dread to the dust returning?
Who shrinks from the sable shore,
Where the high and naughty yearning
OF the soul shall sing no more?
So stand 10 your glasses steady,
This world Is a world of lies;
A cup to the dead already
Hurrah to the next who dies
Cut off from the land that bore us,
Betrayed by the land we find.
Where the brightest have gone before us,
And the dullest remain behind
Stand, stand to your glasses steady,
'Tis all we have left to prize;
A cheer for the dead already
And hurrah for the next who dies.
