TattOOed by LIGHTNING.

Sunday l. Hough, laborer at Castle
Rock, was driving pin In the ground
with a hatchet when a bolt of light
ming descended from a clear sky and
struck him. The top was taken off his
hat and consumed and the rim of the
hat was split. His hair was singed all
over his head, and upon the crown it is
burned in precisely the shape of ton
sure, spot about the size of a quarter
being left wholly bare. A livid mark
is left across his breast from shoulder
to shoulder, and directly above his heart
hole was burned In his shirt. Around
the body, below the waist, extends a
belt of flesh about four inches wide,
black and blue and dotted with numer-
ous small holes. Down his back and
legs are streaks, and the inside of his
legs are burned. Hough remained un-
conscious till 10 o'clock, when he reeov-
cred his senses and is still alive.-Den-
yer Cor. San Francisco Examiner.

The Raisin Industry In Victoria.

The raisin industry is being gradual
ly developed in Victoria, and promises
shortly to be sufficient to supply the re-
quirements of the colony. So says Mr..
j. Knight, who writes on the subject in
the new Bulletin of the Victoria De-
partment of Agriculture. Extensive
planting, he says, is going on in various
parts of the colony, from the extreme
west of Mildura along to the east as far
as Wangaratta, the largest plantation
being in the well known Goulburn val
ley. In this locality not only has the
manufacture of raisins received atten-
ton during the last six years, but the
products of the currant vine also are
now being placed on the market.

Sportive Lambs.

A flock of ewes and lambs were once
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by fence with several gaps in it. "Fol.
low my leader" was the game most in
favor with this flock, the biggest lamb
leading around the field and then jump
ing the gap, with all the others follow
ing in single file. Any lamb that took
the leap unusually we'll would give two
or three more enthusiastic jumps out of
sheer exuberant happiness when it
reached the other side. Fawns played
a sort of cross touch from one side to
the other, the "touch" in each case be-
ing by the nose.-London Tit Bits.

A Careless Connterfeiter.

Once In awhile we hear of the sus-
pender button going into the contribu-
ton box, but it has been reserved for a
prominent Dexter citizen to appear in the
guise of a bold, bad counterfeiter. His en-
velope Sunday contained lead half dol
lar, which was promptly returned to him.
With that lack of precaution character
istic at times of the greatest criminal
he placed his name on the envelope in
closing his contribution. He will keep
right on making leaden sinners proba-
bly,, but if he attempts to pass another
single one he will get his name into the
paper, and this will probably frighten
him out of the business if anything in
this wide world can.-Dexter (Me.) Ga

bleeding the Officer Holders.

Chairman Roosevelt, of the civil SER
vice commission, has announced that he
is going to Washington to prosecute
number of Western Republicans who
have been levying political assessments
on Indian agents. The Republican
national committee is not engaged in
this work, to his knowledge; but local
committees have been, and he has given
notice that "before long you will hear
something drop"
As to the pernicious activity of local
committees in this lawess and demoraliz-
ing assessment business there is not a
shadow of doubt. One sample, out of
hundreds, lately issued from the head
quarters of the Delaware county Re-
publican committee, of this state, ad.
dressed to Republican officeholders
contains these dunning words:
We feel justified in calling upon you
to bear share of the expense. We
therefore expect and solicit contribu-
ton from you, such an amount as you
feel able to give, assuring you that it
will be duly acknowledged and Judi
ciously expended.
There can be as little question that
this political assessment business is
much more than local question, and
that it is being practiced on national
scale, if not by national authority. On
the whole, therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt is
cutting out more work for himself than
he may be able to get through with this
year; and the sporadic droppings tha
have been promised may be but as drop'
in bucket.
The way to bring down the evil tree il
not by windfalls, but by cutting at the
roots. This whole bad business has it
tap-root in Washington. The only way
to cut that out is by radical change o
administration, and the rehabilitation o
the civil service on the basis principl,
that public office is public trust, not {
mutual assessment system for guarntee
ing to the party assessed a continuance
OF his position and perquisites.-R Record

A large snake Of unknown species was
killed by A. G. Reichelderfer, superin-
tendent of the Lima Natural Gas COM

Mr.. Reichelderfer, in company with Mr..
Spear, prominent oil man, was walk

attempts to bite him, but was unsuc-

Only two patient eyes to stare
Out of the canvas; all the rest,
The warm green gown, the small hand

That must have made the sweet, low brow

When some one saw it change and glow
All faded. Just the eyes burn now.

Amber has a wonderful variety of
