AIightninz-Proof Pig.

Lightning nearly broke up house,
keeping for Josiah Buell. in tho sky
ward-tilted old town of Hebron, Conn,
a few days ago. A frisky bolt climbed
into his homo through his chamber
window. skipped down the back stairs
with an ease born apparently OF
familiarity with the promises, tore of
four slabs Of plaster from tho kitchen
wall, lifted door of its hinges and
laid it carefully on the floor, removed
six covers from tho range. oponcd the
pantry-door and set the picplatcs whirl-
ing, and then whisked out to the pig
pen. There were four persons in the
house, and not one suspected that cleo
tricity. had dropped in for social call
until Josiah visited tho kitchen. A
few minutes later he went to the pig
pen. His 300-pound Chester county
pig lay on its back, its legs uplifted and
quivering; but the pig. like the New
York car-driver. was not to be knocked
out by 200 volts Of crude lightning.
and soon it got up and gazed at Josiah
reproachfully. The bolt that tho pig
had successfully withstood knocked the
pig-pcn into splinters. Mr.. Buell. has
very little confidence in electricity as
an agent Of capital punishment.

The Under Dog in the Fight.

Upon one of Boston's most fashiona-
BILE boulevards serenely sits statue in
bronze of William Lloyd Garrison. He
is the same man whom a well-dressed
mob at one time pursued through the
streets OF the city which his statue
now honors, and the authorities were
obliged to confine him in Jail to pro-
tect him from the fury OF the mobbers.
Giodarno Bruno. an Italian philoso-
pher and hcrctic, was burned at the
stake in 1000. After almost three hun
dred years his statue has just been un-
veiled in Rome to the great acclama-
tion OF the people. For successive
generations his name has been held in
infamy and has become favorite ap-
pellation to give to dogs. Bruno, like
many canine namesakes OF his, was
the under dog in the fight So was
Garrison, and so have been all the
martyrs. We may trust the sympathy
OF the people to inevitably go to the
bottom dog in the tussle, but some
times it takes three hundred years to
do so. Though the mills OF Gods
grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding
small.-Yankee Blade.

How Rookie IS are Made.

Rockets are made for three pur-
poses; for signalling; for decorations
or celebrations, or as projectiles in
in war. For signals, the charge con-
sists of ~ parts OF inter, OF sulphur,
and 8 of charcoal. The ornamental,
or decorative, rocket is the one we
see used on the Fourth of July, and
the composition of which it is made
comprises 122 parts OF mealed OR
finely pulver;sed powder, 80 OF inter,
40 of sulphur, and so OF cast-iron
filings.
The main part OF the rocket is a
case, made by rolling stout paper,
covered on one side with paste, around
wooden form, at the same time ap-
plying considerable pressure. The
end is then "choked," or brought
tightly together, with twine.
The paper case thus made is noxt
placed in copper mold, so that a
conical copper spindle will pass up
through the choke, and the composition
is then poured in and packed by blows
OF mallet on a copper drift or pack
ing-tool made to fit over the spindle.
The top of the case is now closed with
a layer of moist plasterof-paris
one inch thick, perforated with a
small hole for the passage of the flame
to the upper part, or "pot." The pot
is formed Of another paper cylinder
slipped over and pasted to the top Of
the case and surmounted by paper
cone filled with tow. The "decora-
tions" are placed in the pot and are
scattered through the air when the
flame, having passed through the
aperture of the plaster, reac hes a
small charge of mealed powder, placed
in the pot. The stick is piece of
pine wood, tapering. and about nine
times the length of the rocket. 1t is
to guide the rocket in its flight. The
decorations in the pot may be STARS"

A Snake Charmer,s Training


Mcconnell is 81 years old. He was
brought up in Lords Valley, lonely
part of Pike county, Pa. When he was
a boy, playmates were few, and he
used to amuse himself by hunting up
rattlesnake dens and killing the rep
tiles. He had no trouble in finding
them. for the country about his homo
was very rocky and rattlesnake were
plentiful. He became SO used to this
sort OF amusement that he lost all fear OF
the snakes. He knew their habits per-
fectly, and frequently handled them.
He kept his parents in mortal terror,
for it was not an uncommon thing for
him to bring u rattlcr to the house and
drop 1t upon the Kitchen floor. His
father used to keep a loaded shotgun
handy. to kill the rattlcsnakes that
Johnny brought home. When he
grew old he collected a don of them
They were constant joy to him, and
he was never weary. of attending to
their wants. He never used a forked
stick to pin the snakes fast before. he
captured them, but used to aggravatc
them, until they struck at him, and
then, while they were uncoiled and un-
able to spring, he would pick them up
in his hands. About six years ago he
started out to exhibit his pets. He has
travelled all over the country.-New

A Chiropodist Has His Say.

Year before last had two women
patrons to one man, said chiropodist
"But last year and SO far this year, the
falling off in the former patronage
has been more than one half. But
there has been no decrease in the num-
ber of my male customers. How do I
account for all this? Easily. Fashion
in shoes is responsible for it. A year
and half ago the high, narrow French
heels were the fashion in women's
shoes, and they are the best friends a
chiropodist can have. They are regu-
lar and rapid breeders OF corns. No
women can have pair OF such shoes
long without looking up a corn doctor.
But tho low fiat heel is now in fash
ion. If the rest OF the shoe fits the foot,
these heels are the natural enemy OF
corns. and the chiropodist has to suffer.
1t is generally believed that women are
more vain OF their feet than men are OF
theirs. but my experience has shown
me that quite the contrary is the fact.
Men will insist on making their foot look
small, and any shoe that will do that
is the fashion for them. The narrow
toed or "toothpick" style of mems
shoes, worn now as much as ever. will
always insure the corn doctor a living.
especially If the shoes arc patent leath-
er. A patent leather shoe, for some
re ason, will call corn into being
much quicker than an ordinary leather
shoe.
Tho fellows who don't have corns
are those who wear roomy-toed shoes.
But they mustn't DO too large. A shoe
too large is as bad as one too small.
An over sized shoe makes corns on tho
bottom OF the feet, and they are the
worst kind. The late war was the
greatest corn-curer ever known. l
never knew OF a single case OF soldier
in that war who suffered from corns.
and l was all through II. II q law
should be passed that no shoe sh~:ald
be worn III this country but the pat.
tern army shoe OF the rebellion. the
corn doctors occupation would be

A Lucky Finn.

Duluth CMinn) Tribune, July 10.
William Dalquist is the name Of o lucky
Finlander who at present is day laborer
In Il. A. Gray's saw mill at the West End.
The fact is, William, who has been In this
country for some six years or more and
who has been hard worker all his lie, is
one of the lucky persons who drew u
'plum" at the drawing Of the Louisiana
State Lottery held on June 18th Inst, he
holding one-fortieth Of ticket "6l, ,6O5, -
which drew tho capital prize Of $500, 900.
When Mr.. Dalquist was made aware Of
his good fortune by statement in the Tri-
bLne that that number was the lucky one,
he was overioyed beyond measure and was
the recipient Of many congratulations
from his numerous friends and at the same
time not few were envious of his good
fortune. Mr. w. A. Foote here immedi-
ately offered Dalquist sl4,S 800 for his slip
of paper, but William thought he would do
his own cashing and thus save 500, which
he has done. As soon as he can mako ar
rangements he will at once proceed to Fin
land, where his father and mother, who
are poor people, live. The $4,000 Mr.. Dal-
quist says will be more than enough to
keep his parents, himself and one of Fin
lands fairest daughters (which latter was
said with slight distortion of his facial
muscles, tending to q smile,) for the rest
Of their days.

Probably the queerest character that

who made Virot the fashion. She was

FRENCH sLEEplNo-cARs.

Abominabie and High-Priced Ac-
commodatlons for Unhappy
Travellers.
The charge for a bed in the sleep
ing-cars from Basle to Calais, says the
| London Standard, is about 10 francs,
and from Basle to Paris, for some oc-
cult reason, z francs more. By one Of
those extraordinary arrangements that
can exist only in countries where no
body trusts anybody, and everybody is
! suspected by everybody else. even the
| unfortunate traveller who has hired a
bed at 9:15 is not allowed to turn into
it till 1l:3O, the reason assigned being
that at the French frontier the "smalI
Asst0. Sust be examined, and If
people Gsre allowed to "turn in" be-
| fore the examination took place there
is no saying what amount of tobacco
and laces and the rest OF it might not
be secreted in or under the bed by the
tourist or by the servants OF the sleep
car company. When, however. the
conventional ceremonial of affirming
that you have nothing to declare
has been gone through and your dress
ing bag has been defaced by hieroglyph-
les in white chalk, then the operation
of bed-making in the wagon-lits COM
mences. Any one who has watched
it will be disposed to exclaim, with
Macbeth: "Sleep no more" In q
small and sometimes filthy den narrow
cushions and hard pillows of hoar
antiquity are perfunctorily covered
with shabby rug and sheet, and un-
der a covering of a similar character
the traveller who has paid more than
FL for this extraordinary indulgence
is invited to betake h imself to slumber.
If he happens to have travelling
companion they can procure the lux
ury. such as it is, OF privacy, though
one of them, on the Dogberry princi-
pie, must needs sleep on the upper shelf.
which is an experience several degrees
moro painful than lying on the lower
one. If the number of passengers be
not equal to the number OF beds they
will be able, by bribins the person in
charge, to get four-bed compartment,
and thus both will avoid the torture of
being suspended from he..ceiling.
As rule these vacant compartments
are to be had by tipping the dirty Of
fetal in charge of them and thus. per-
haps, for 25 shillinss apiece two people
can secure the mitiga tion OF misery VIC
have described. One OF the main
inducements to many people to
have recourse to wagon-lit is
the belief that at any rate in the
morning they will be able to have "a
good wash" and will thus emerge from
the train the stimulation of civilized
being instead OF an unwashed, un-
kempt, unshavod savage. Morning
throws fuller light on this pleasing
anticipation. As some of our corre-
spondents point out the "lavatory''
arrangements in the sleeping cars be-
tween Basle and Calais and between
Basle and Paris are abominable beyond
description, and can not be turned to
the slightest account by any one OF
the most ordinary fastidiousness.
