Terrible stroke,of Lightning.

Nineteen soldiers were marching along
the highway at Bourges to reach the ar
tillery practice ground, when a thunder
storm broke over them and in a minute
drenched them to the skin. They began
trotting, but had not advanced much
when terrible stroke of lightning came,
and in an instant laid the whole detach-
ment PROSTATE on the ground. After a
short time some of the men recovered
and rose to their feet. They called to
their comrades, who rallied and rose
slowly one after another. But four re-
mained immovable. They were taken to
the hospital. Three were restored to life,
but the fourth was quite dead. He had
deep wound on the crown of his head
and his chest was burned as over a fur
mace.

FEEDING ELEPHANTS.
What 1t Costs to Keep One of the Huge
Animals.

All the elephants used in the Indian
army as draught animals in the artillery
or commissariat, or as baggage animals
in the transport department, are very
carefully attended to, and In every way
treated with the greatest consideration.
Their keep is rather expensive, being
about thirty rupees, or seventeen dollars,
a day, including, of course, the wages of
their mahout and grass-cutter. They are
fed principally on unhusked rice and
grass; of the former they get about two
hundred and fifty pounds, and of the lat
ter about four hundred pounds per diem.
The very large female eats, after the first
day or two, about seven hundred and
fifty pounds of green fodder in eighteen
hours; this is exceeded often by large
tuskers, so that eight hundred pounds is
about the right amount to be placed be-
fore full-grOwn elephant, with a margin
to allow for waste. AS good load for an
elephant is about eight hundred pounds,
it will be seen that the amount he will eat
per day will besas much as he can carry,
and this will also be the right proportion
for the smaller ones.-R. Cation Wood
vile in Harper's Magazine.

A peculiar insurance company has got
into operation in Denmark. Young girls
may enroll themselves, and by paying a
small sum periodically become entitled
to regular weekly allowance from the
company if they remain unmarried at
and after the age of 40. The fact that
marriage forfeits all claims is expected to
insure the success of the scheme, not TO
speak of the hardness with which many
of the members will announce their ar
rival at the age of 40.

MAINE MEN TALK.
Neither Senator Frye Nor MIR. Dingley
Pleased With the Situation.

WASHINGTON, January 26. = Senator
Frye said tonight he did not consider the
despatch from Santiago, if true, as full
and satisfactory measure Of apology. The
question of reparation could be settled
by arbitration, but an apology was not
subject to such procedure. While he en-
tertained very decided opinions upon the
question himself, he was not in position
to state them. He declined to say
what the action of the committee on
foreign relations would be, although they
had the matter under consideration to-
day. He did not consider the reason
given for the withdrawal of the Malta
letter at all satisfactory, and intimated
that Chill would have to take an entirely
different stand before the situation would
be acceptable to the United States. SEN
ator Frye's earnest manner indicated his
entire disapproval of the sitdation as ex-
pressed in the Santiago dispatch this
morning.
Congressman Dingley of Maine was of
the same opinion as Senator Frye. In
the absence of authentic official informa-
ton concerning the Santiago despatch,
he was unwilling to prejudice the case
tonight, but went so far as to say he
would not be satisfied with the terms
suggested by Chill as a peaceful settle
ment of the question. He expected offi-
cial information tomorrow, and when it
came would then freely express his opin-
ion.
