And the Heavens Were Dark as Night
on Sea and Shore.
THE EXCITING WRECK OF A
SCHOONER AT SEA.

Many Persons Were Shocked, but Happily
the List of Casualties is Confined to
Trees, Looking Glasses and Cats-Re-
ports Show at Least Seventeen Strokes
of the Lightning in This Region.
The shower yesterday afternoon was
one of the severest that has passed over
this city. About 1.3O o'clock the CITY
grew very dark, so much so that offices
were lighted up, while peculiar black
clouds scudded across the heavens. NOV
ing to the southwest. 1t was some time
before the rain began to fall, but when it
did it came in sheets, and large streams
OF water were soon coursing down the
principal streets. The weather bureau
officers report that seventy-four one hun
dreds of an inch of water fell during the
brief duration of rain; and that this was
at the excessive rate of a foot an hour.
The wind was not high, however, reach
ing only q miles an hour. In Deering
the wind was rather higher than in the
city. The temperature just before the
shower was 63ao: during its progress 6Oo;
and SO after, with the wind northeast.
The clouds were heavily charged with
electricity, and the thunder was loud
and almost continuous. The lightning
was both vivid and constant and did a
great deal of damage in this city and the
adjoining places, as well as in other por-
tions of the State. In this city the num-
Der of houses struck was unusually
large
Lightning struck the house of Hon.
Clarence Hale on Congress street and
filled the yard with bricks. One corner
OF the chimney was scooped out for dis
tance of four feet, and then going through
one room without doing any harm it en-
tered Mr.. Hale's room. An old fash
ioned wool rug was completely burned
over the top, and the carpet in the same
room was burned over in much the same
manner. The fire went out of itself, and
the damage is not large. Fortunately
there was no one in the room at the time
that the house was struck and the fire
was out before its existence was known.
The house of Alfred A. White on
Crescent street was also struck by light
ming. Mrs. White received severe
shock, but it was not dangerous. She
was in the house alone at the time of the
shower. A curious incident of this
stroke was the fate of the house cat,
which was lying upon bed in an upper
room. The lightning entered the room
and passed through it, striking the cat
and killing her, but not harming
another thing in the room.
The house of Henry Stickney, Charles
street, was also struck. No serious dam
age was done.
On Ellsworth street the house of Mr..
Burrill was struck but we do not under
stand any damage of consequence re-
suited.
A big tree in front of Plymouth
church was hit by a bolt and the ground
beneath was strewn with branches.
The Western Union Office by reason of
its lightning arresters was not a sufferer.
The spider wires were burned off and for
a time the market reports were delayed.

Lord Palmerston was very little Of a
courtier, in the ignobler and more syco-
phantic sense of the term, whether Of
the crown, the mob or the house Of COM
mons. George ~ could not endure
him. In the controversy with the crown
which led to his dismissal from the for
eign secretaryship he was as wrong,
both in form and substance, as it was
possible for a minister of the crown to
be. In the house of commons he occa-
sionally mistook bluster and swagger
for genial playfulness. But on the
whole he was marked throughout his
life by the qualities which he showed IN
his school days, when he earned the de-
scription of ''the best tempered and most
plucky boy at Harrow. "-London Satur-
day Review.

Next time you drop in on your barber to
have a shave or your hair cut ask him why
he has pole with white and red stripes on
it at his door The chances are that he
will tell you it is to let people know there
is barber shop in the vicinity. Ask him
why such pole represents barber shop
and tell him not to talk politics or the
weather to you until he has answered and
you will have quiet time of it. OF course
you know, but in case you don't want to
bother telling him just clip this item and
induce him to paste it in his hat.
In olden times blood letting was believed
in and the ancient barber was the man
who made a speciality of it-as, also, some
of them do today. The pole has nothing to
do with hair cutting or shaving; it repre-
sents the blood letting end of the profes-
sion. The red stripes indicate the flow of
blood, the white stripes the linen bandages
used after the operation. If you succeed
in cornering your Narber on this question,
ask him not to tax so much until he &C
quires some information worth imparting.

Suspension bridges which were built
in the time Of the Han dynasty (2O2 B..
G. to 220 A. d. are still standing, strik-
ing examples Of oriental engineering

graphical writers Of China it was Shang

who undertook TO construct the first
public roads in the Flowery Empire. At
that time it was almost impossible for
the province of Shense to communicate
with the capital Lieng took an army
of 10, 900 workmen and cut great gorges
through the mountains, filling up the
canyons and valleys with the debris
from his excavations. At places where
deep gorges were traversed by large
and rapidly flowing streams he actually
carried ont mis- plan Of throwing suspen-
sion bridges, stretching from one slope

These crossings, appropriately styled
flying bridges" by early Chinese writ
ers, are high and dangerous looking in
the extreme. At the present day a bridge
may still be seen in the Shense which is
400 feet long and is stretched over a
chasm more than goo feet deep. How
those early engineers erected such a
structure with the tools and appliances
at their command is a mystery which
will probably never be explained.-St

The adobe houses of Arizona and New
Mexico are not built from ignorance,
but from regard to comfort. They
are, for that climate, the warmest in
winter and in summer the coolest that
can be constructed. The adobe is only
mud made of the loamy clay: the bricks
are about sixteen inches long by nine or
ten in width and eight in thickness.
They are sun dried, and after the house
is begun and the walls are reared to a
height of two or three feet they are left
for a week in order to dry, the process
of building and waiting continuing till
the house is constructed.
Then the walls are plastered within,
the roof put on, and the house left for
two or three weeks before the occupants
move in. The small cost and little
trouble with which an adobe house can
be built, together with its superior com
fort, render it the favorite structure in
tropical North America, and long time
will elapse before it is superseded eithei
by wood, brick or stone.-lnterview II

One of the leading residents at Raincy,
in the department of Seine-et-Oise, was
the Widow Tardiveau, wealthy, fat, fair
and forty. Among her special favorites
was young Raoul Gaullin. He was not
enamored of the widow, but found it
profitable to allow her to suppose that he
was. In time she set him up in bust
ness. Raoul fell in love with Resale
Bertol, and an engagement and be-
trothal soon took place. The widow at
first was furious, but by degrees she
grew more calm and then professed her.
self heartbroken. She soon fell into a
decline and died Of rapid consumption
after a brief illness.
On her deathbed Nine. Tardiveau
granted full and free pardon to the
two amOrous young people, and in her
will left the prospective bride a small
gift Of money, accompanied by pint OF
rare old Malaga, with a yellow seal.
The bottle was not to be opened until
the wedding day, when it was to be
drank to the memory of the dear de
parted.
During the joyous festivities, and at
the end of the supper, the wine was I'M
corked, and the bride and groom, to
gether with the best man, drank the
contents. In second they had fallen
TO the floor, dead. The wine had been
mixed with prussic acid. The widow
was avenged.-San Francisco Argonaut'

Breaking Up the Drummer's Business

Breaking Up the Drummer's Business.
An innovation which is spreading
alarm among travelling men is the ease
with which business men may secure
passes from railroads. A business man
goes to a railway manager and announces
that he is thinking Of visiting the eastern
market. Although nothing may be said
about it the railway magnate takes it
for granted that his caller will order his
goods shipped over the line granting the
pass. Pasteboards are accordingly is
sued, not only for the merchant, but for
his entire Samily and one or two cousins
and aunts thrown in. The practice has
grown TO such an extent that railway
men tell me it is becoming a serious
question for the management to decide
where to draw the line.
The merchant goes east and makes his
selection of goods instead of patroniz-
ing the man who is on the road. The
railways have thus stepped in and inter
fered to large extent with the business
of the commercial traveller. As the
passes are issued as often as asked for,
the larger buyers are getting farther
and farther away from the drummer.
For this reason younger and less ex
perienced men are sent out at a compar
atively small expense to the house.
