Held Prisoners by Electricity.

A marvellous case of electrical par
alysis is reported from the Hosmer road,
near Lockport, and it takes the edge
off most of the fictitious stories of light
ning's freaks ever told. The house OF
Jasper Brown was the scene of the
phenomenon. The electricity was SC
strong that the air was luminous and OF
a distinct blue color. Though there
was no lamp burning in the house every
person and every article could be out
lined in the cerulean atmosphere as il
through haze; great balls of stelmos
fire, such as is sometimes seen on the
rigging of ships, played and danced
about the furniture, now perching upon
the back of chairs, now sliding easily
along the mantel top, now skating up
and down the chandeliers.
The family were so frightened that
they could not speak. The electricity
in the atmosphere made their hair
stand on end like the quilts of a fretful
porcupine, and the strangest thing of
all was that they could not move. The
whole family had lost the power of To-
comotion. Every member was tenn
porarily paralyzed by the electricity.
Few mortals have ever experienced
such a night of terror. Their minds
were filed with fear and apprehension
lest their power of locomotion was gone
forever and they would be permanent
cripples.
But at last, after a duration of about
four or five hours, the storm began to
subside, the use of their limbs gradually
returned to them, and when the storm
was over they were able to move about
as freely as ever.-Cor. st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

How To Write A Letter.

Write the date distinctly, the day
of the month and the year-not just
the day of the week.
Write on plain, unlined paper.
Write your "q's" and "y's" differ
emily, their tails turned in opposite
directions.
Write your cts with a cross and
your "i's" with a dot.
Write an answer to your friend s
questions if she had not wanted to
know she would not have asked you.
Write with black ink-pale or ia
ded ink has broken off more friend
ships and love affairs than one would
imagine
Write your name distinctly. If
you are married woman sign it, for
example, ''Virginia Andrews" ex-
actly as if you were not married {:
but if it is a business letter, the Mrs.
should be put in parenthesis before
your name /; or, better still, the let
ter may be written in the third per-
son. This same rule applies to an
unmarried woman.
Write short, crisp letter; a con-
centration of brightness. 1t will be
much more appreciated than one lon
ger drawn out.

You Can Learn to Swim in an Hour


One often hears of the difference be-
tween the feminine and masculine
stroke in swimming, but there is really
no difference, unless it be that a man
can naturally put more strength in his
stroke and has a longer reach than a
woman. In all other essential points
they are identical, but men cannot
compare in gracefulness with lady
swimmers.
Mr.. Labouchere, editor of The Lon
don Truth, after noting that probably
not one in twenty of the persons who
indulge in bathing on a holiday can
swim, proceeds to tell his readers how
to acquire the accomplishment. His
advice is offered to men, but it is as
applicable to the ladies, as advice
generally a very cheap commodity
usually is. Nothing" he says, lis
more easy than swimming. When the
air is out of the body its owner sinks;
when the air is in the body its owner
floats. Let any one slowly draw in his
breath as he draws back his legs and
pushes forward his arms retain it while
he is preparing for the stroke which is
to propel him, and slowly allow it to go
through his lips as his arms are passed
back from before his head to his sides
and his legs are stretched out.
1.-THE action of the stroke should not
be quite horizontal, but should be made
on a slight incline downward. The real
reason why people take weeks to learn
how to swim is because swimming pro-
feSsOrs either do not know or do not
choose to teach the philosophy of
breathing so as to render the body
buoyant. 1 would engage to make any
one tolerable swimmer in an hour,
unless he be a committal idiot"

THE DANGEROUS "sEA PoosE.1
A Caprice of the Ocean That Threatens
the Bather with Danger.

A Caprice of the Ocean That Threatens
the Bather with Danger.
1t may be well to speak of another
phenomenon not infrequently observed.
I do not recall ever seeing the name by
which it is known in print, and, as the
word is ignored by Webster, shall in
vent my own spelling and write it ''sea
poose. This term is loosely used on
different parts of the coast, but the
true significance of it is briefly this:
There will sometimes come, at every
bathing ground, days when the ocean
seems to lose it's head and to act in a
very capricious way. On such occa-
sions it often happens that the beach is
cut away at some one point, presum-
ably where the sand happens to be
softer and less capable of resisting the
action of the water
There will then be found a little bay
indenting the shore, perhaps ten feet,
perhaps ten yards. The waves rolling
into such cove are detected somewhat
by its sides and "set'' together at its
head, so that two wings of a breaker, so
to speak, meet and, running straight
out from the point of junction, form
sort of double ''under tow" which
will, if the conditions that cause it con-
tinue, cut out along its course depres-
sion or trench of varying depth and
length.
1t can be readily understood that
such a trench tends to strengthen the
current that causes it, and these two
factors, acting and reacting upon each
other, occasion what might be called
an artificial ''under tow" which is
sometimes strong enough to carry an
unwary bather some distance out, in a
fashion that will cause him either to be
glad he is, or to wish he were, within
the rectangle of the life lines.
/ have sometimes heard old surfmen
speak of what they call 'false poose,"
but have never been able to find out
just what was meant by the expression,
much less its causes and character. I
shall therefore leave the question for
those who delight to delve into the
mysteries of local nomenclature.

Trouble in a French MadhOuse.

There is nothing, mad doctors say,
more unusual than for lunatics who are
together to act on a common impulse.
Last Sunday, however, six inmates of
the Bicetre asylum were so irritated
and oppressed by the sultry weather
preceding the hailstorm as to take an
identical course in letting off their nerv-
Gus excitement. The outbreak took
place in the refectory, where a lunatic,
who has often had to be kept in a pad
ded room, complained that a new
keeper had deprived him of a portion
of food to which he was entitled. The
complaint was well founded. As the
dish was being fetched the mailman
lost patience and dashed the plate be-
fore him against the wall opposite.
Five others followed his example, and
then ran to pitch everything they could
lay their hands upon out of the win
dows.
NJ. Pinon, the governor, was lcalled,
compulsion of violent kind never be-
ing suffered unless by his order. AS he
entered the refectory a dish was broken
on his head, and he and keeper who
was with him had difficulty in escaping
with their lives. The mad people tore
down the iron bars which formed a par
tition between their part of the hall and
a section where other patients were
dining. Then they got to the keepers
rooms, and, Selling knives and razors,
went out TO cut the Threats of those
who denied them their liberty. Troops
were summoned from the fort, and ar
rived as the mutineers had got posses
sion of the kitchens and courtyard.
When twenty soldiers with fixed bayou
cts entered the latter there was a sud-
den collapse The six ringleaders
dropped their knives and razors, begged
pardon and submitted quietly to be
taken to their cells. Nearly all the
keepers were seriously injured. One,
Fourier, was beaten with a chair and
his arm broken in two places. A mad
man named Jolly rifled a desk of bank
notes, all of which he ate.-Paris Cor.

An acceptable accompaniment to the

and pliers with which to fasten the
bands.-New York Commercial Adver-

His Big Gravestone Stalled rs Horses.

His Big Gravestone Stalled rs Horses.
Three years ago Henry Eberle, of
Frankfort died, and the will which he
left behind him created considerable
sir at the time. 1t provided that the
entire estate of some SIC, 900 should be
expended in placing over his grave and
that of his wife already dead stone
which should be four feet thick, Gov
ering the entire surface of his burial lot
in Cedar Hill cemetery. Deceased had
no children, and his will cut off all rel
atives and left no legacies whatever.
The strange direction was much talk
ed of at the time of his death, but was
gradually lost sight of by the public
until on Friday it was revived by the
arrival at Bridesburg station of gran
tie stone which was wider than the car
on which it was transported. This
stone is said to be the largest ever used
in this city for any purpose. 1t is II
feet long by II feet wide, 2 IA feet
thick and weighs thirty tons.
1t was quarried and dressed in Yer
mont, and brought to Philadelphia ON
a vessel from which it was taken by a
special car and locomotive to Brides
burg station. On the top of this stone.
in order to comply with the directions
in the will, another stone of equal
thickness, but three inches less in
width, will be placed, the whole mass
aggregating nearly sixty tons. The
other stone is now being prepared at
the quarries The contract for the two
stones placed in position is $4,000.
The work of transplanting this huge
block of granite by land carriage from
Bridesburg station to Cedar Hill GENE
terry, one mile distant, was begun yes
terday. A four wheeled truck, weigh
ing many tons, known as 'catama-
ran," drawn by twenty-five horses, was
used Everything went well until the
Bristol turnpike was reached and the
steep rocky hill was to be climbed. The
twenty-five horses gave up exhausted.
Tackle was rugged to the wagon and
passed around the trees, and in this
way at last the top of the hill was
reached. Philadelphia Record.
