Her Hair Saved Her Life.

curious freak OF lightning during re-
Ellen Barnes, a laundress, living N the sub
urbs of Petersburg. She had stepped to the
door and stood holding It ajar, watching the
storm, when she was struck by the lightning
and knocked senseless. She was alone at the
time except for q child few months old, but
a neighbor from her window saw the woman
fall and, during the storm, ran to her assist
ance and succeeded in resuSeltating her after
some time.
Though unable TO sneak for hours she was
apparently unhurt by the shock. but part
Of her hair was turned dazzling white By
the electricity and killed 10 the very roots
A distinct line of derarcation separates the
dead white hair from the living and black
strands. This line does not run exactly down
the middle Of the head, but about an inch
and quarter to one side.
a remarkable feature of the occurrence is
that the woman SAYS that as she was struck
she was conscious of a terrible pang in the
side of her head, which is unchanged, and re-
members no particular sensation in the other.
She is inconsolable over her strange deform-
ity, as the physicians give her no hope that
new and black hair viii ever grow again On
the affected side of the head, but endeavor to
comfort her by the unanimous opinion that
she owes her life, ard at any rate her reason,
to the thickness Of her locks, which prevented
the brain from feeling the full force of the
shock.-Philadelphi Times.

Hardy African Whites.

The white women in Africa are hardy
race, especially the Germans. Mr.. Woodford
tells of two German girls who heard Of their
father being shot in the mountains where a
hard fight with the natives was In progress
They were miles away from the battle and
the road was one Of the most difficult that
Mr.. Woodford encountered Ill all his African
experience, yet they inspanned a yoke of oxen,
filed the wagon with provisions, including G
coop OF chickens to kill and make broth, put
into the wagon a canvas hammock and q
small cot, ard drove off TO the mountains,
suppoSing their father to be only wounded.
When they reached the camp they found he
had been shot on the mountains and left by
them in their retreat After dark his black
boy came down the mountain and told them
his master was still alive and might be
brought away. He had remained by him
after the fight in spite of the peril. But the
white men were too cowardly TO 90 after him
in the dark and he died from exposure
When the girls heard these particulars they
tainted the men with every epithet it was
possible for women to use, and went out and
brought in the body themselves.-New York
Press.

ChnnsinH a Sweetheart.

Choose your sweetheart carefully, wisely
and tenderly, my dear girls. Remember he
is to be more than even this to you some day
! he is to be your husband, for surely you are
not one of the girls who has a sweetheart
here, and one there, and gives little love to
this one and little to that one, until when
the real one appears the perfect bloom is
gone from the peach and she cannot give him
what he offers her. You girls know very
quickly when man means more than or
binary friendship for you.
You have an instinct that tells you that
this big, good looking fellow has come sweet
hearting, and that that is the time for you to
study him a little bit. Think out if his tenn
per and yours are certain to agree well to-
gether; think out if his tastes and yours are
alike, or if they can grow 70 be 80, for you
know, little women, if you want TO be happy
in your married life you must learn the great
and wonderful virtue of adapta bihty.
You must choose your sweetheart as you
do new gown, so that he will wear well
but you want him for longer than winter
he must last through the long summer days
and through the winter ones, and before you
put your hand in his and tell him that you
are willing to fight out the battle of life to-
gether, think it all over well and remember
that you are choosing your sweetheart not
for day or year, but for all through life
and, please God, if you love each other
enough, for after deatb.-IAdies' Home Jour-

Filterinc MIX in Scotland.

A singular practice has sprung up in the
Annandale district of Dumfriesshire Of filter
ing milk as a means of purifying 1t, and on
attentive consideration 1t seems not a little
strange this course of things was not thought
of before The old method Of strainiug
through fine sleeves Of hair or canvas is Of
course defective, as may be at once seen by
careful observation of the considerable guam
titles of dirt, together with small bits of hair,
that become deposited at the bottoms Of yes
sells in milk setting.
Probably an impression has prevailed in
the past that fltering milk would detract
something from its quality. but this does not
appear to be the case, according to the expe-
rience of those who have tried the system
Still, of course, it would De well TO be assured
of this by chemical analysis before the prac-
tice is adopted extensively. Sponges appear
TO have been used hitherto, but We should
suppose a far cheaper method Of filtering pos
sible if the assurance can be given that there
is no danger Of milk being impaired in quail
ity neutrality-suspicious. Economist.

Oatmeal Diet.

First comes oatmeal-pasty, inferior stuff
ill cooked, fit, perhaps, for a plowman or
shepherd, who works his food of by hard la
Dor in the open air all day, but very far from
fit food for a slender, nervous girl or boy at
school. The oatmeal superstition is hard
one to uproot in the minds of housekeepers,
who have made it part Of their routine and
hate to take up anything else. Farmers do
not feed oats to their horses unless they are
at hard work, because the grain IS too heat
ing for them, and breeds disease in animals
unless thrown off by vigorous muscular ef-
fort daily. Oatmeal, especially Of the finer
sorts, in which the houssEeeper delights, often
passes digestion in crude shape as masses Of
starch, which clog the body without nourish-
ing it. Dry, crisp ostcaEe is much better
taken than boiled oatmeal, and IS FAR more
palatable, its oil and starch being changed in
baking. Clean, cracked wheat IS the food for
nervous, studious or housekeeping women
and children, containing IS it does the phos-
phates needed and the coarse character which
aids the organs in their work--Shiriey Dare's

WOMAN AND HOME.
A BRIGHT AND BRAVE WOMAN IN
EUROPEAN JOURNALISM.

Choosing a sweetheart-siIzs Which Are
Not SiIks-Patti Talks About Health.
Inventions of Western Womep-Informa-
ton for Housekeepers and Mothers.
One of the most interesting personalities in
the field of European journalism is Mrs.
Crawford, who is brilliant example of her
favorite theory that there is nothing that
man can do that a woman cannot do, and
there are some things that would be more
difficult for man to do than 1t would be for
a woman. While still in her teens some pri-
vate letters OF hers fell into the hands of a
London editor, who was so struck with their
vivacity Of style and originality of sentiment
that he engaged her as contributor to MS
paper. Promptly she set herself to work to
master the science Of politics, which topic is
usually avoided by journalistic women as
both complicated and unccngenial.
A single instance OF her power Of endur-
ance, memory and determination indicates
the manner OF woman she is and the spirit
with which she faces her duty. On the occa-
sion of the historic debate of May %, at Yer
salles, she sat in her place i'll the loge grillee,
which u. Theirs friendship had procured for
her, from early morning until midnight
without taking a single note, and carried
away all the important points of that extra
ordinary sitting. Then she returned TO Paris
and sat up until O'Clock the next morning
to complete her description of the scene and
abstract of the speeches.
On the 23d of March, 1871, she made her
way alone into the barricaded city of Paris
and interviewed the Communist leaders as
they sat in council No harm or insult was
offered TO the plucky little woman, whose
ready wit, natural intrepidity andsympathy
with the people were her only weapons She
has walked the wards Of the cholera hospitals
amid the dead and dying, and, prompted by
the same journalistic instinct, has rushed at
midnight through thunder storm in satin
slippers and ball dress 10 the nearest tele-
graph station to send a description of the
dresses.
To write everything from her own personal
impressions seems to have been her constant
aim, and Ene most remarkable thing about
her is that, having once filed her mind with
everything relating TO the subject in hand,
and done her level best in abstracting the
essential from the accidental circumstances,
and arranging them most advantageously for
her readers, she dismlSses from her brain all
effectiveness and worry concerning results.
Her social life is not less brilliant than her
professional career.-New York Sun.

The Screens Must Come Down.

Edgerton. Kan, is not large town, but It
has been heard from. At the recent NUM-
cipal election the women turned out IN force
and elected their ticket, which did not bear
the name of single man. The question at
issue was whether the billiard nails should
run with screens to the windows or not. Ths
result of the balloting means that the screens
must come down. Most of the young men
voted for the women's ticket because they
had to-that is, the failure 70 cast an anti
screen ballot meant the loss Of sweethearts
and ostracism by al the maidens Of the VII
lage.
