Probably one of the most remarkable
lightning accidents Of the period was
that which took place In one of the east
ern counties lately. A man was shear
ing sheep. Another man, passing on
pony, stopped to exchange few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for minute or two. He had
been standing there but a very short
time when a sharp crack Of thunder was
preceded by a binding fash Of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost out Of
his senses by seeing the pony and Its
rider suddenly collapse In heap, but In
a second the man was up, quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening to glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served II as 1t had
served the pony. The sheep was stone
deadi This, 1t may be as well to state,

Rats Are Great Travellers.

Rats do not, as one would suppose, re-
main on the ship, but get off at various
ports, and after remaining while ship
on some other vessel for another voyage.
The water rats or wharf rats are great
travellers and make frequent voyages
around the lakes and even around
the world-the latter as / discovered
while engaged in West India service.
There are here now rats from almost
every part Of the globe. Why, saw
four colossal Jamaica rats, with their
white bellies, skipping about in the moon
light a few weeks ago, and only yester-
day killed two Indian male rats not
200 feet from where we were standing.
Rats are great climbers when they
find it necessary to be SO. Upon one of
my voyages not long ago we had long
spell Of warm weather, and there was
no water in the hold which the small
army of rats on board could get at One
night we put some water up at the cross
trees and waited for the result. Well,
the rats just swarmed up the ratlines
and went for the water. We killed as
many of them as we could as they came
down, and some of them jumped over
board and were drowned. But we could
not kill them all, and few made the
entire voyage with us.-Interview in
Chicago Tribune.

The cat was So very highly regarded in
England at one time, both as a rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following salu-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
eff any one steal or kill Cat that
guards the Princes Creamery, he is to
forfeit a mich Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form heap high enought to cover
the tip of the former"
Though the Welsh had high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had a
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was crime to kill them,
and when they died they received a pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
token of sorrow. The most prominent
cats were upon death embalmedin drugs
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those of kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host adj
vanced, the Egyptians retired in eonfu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives of
vast numbers of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the loss of
blood or of cat 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post

Raising Talking Parrots.

The talking powers of parrot depend
to great extent on its being taken in
hand at very early age. This would
be one advantage Of rearing these birds
in confinement. Under such conditions
also it would be practicable to vastly
improve the speaking faculty by mating
the best takers together for generations.
Thus would be produced such feathered
conversationists as are unknown up to
date. It would certainly be profitable
to breed and raise the parrots known as
Carolina parrakeets. These are rare now
and bring high prices, though they used
to be very common as far north as Penn
sylvania and Illinois. At present the
few survivors are almost wholly con-
fined to scattered localities in Florida
and the Indian Territory. They have
been successfully bred in captivity. The
green Australian parrakeets of the sort
used by strolling fortune tellers on the
streets are among the easiest of birds
to rear. Washington Star.

New Works New Diana.

The new Diana for the tower of the
Madison Square Garden will be of alu-
minimum. Copper was the material Of the
original chaste goddess, who pointed
with her bow to the winds eye from that
lofty pinnacle awhile ago. The white
metal is far better for the purpose on
account of it's comparatively small
weight for the bulk. 1t is only about as
heavy as chalk. The wholesale price of
it has been brought down by improved
processes to $1.25 a pound. Perchance
aluminium will, at some time In the flu
ture, be the material universally EN-
ployed for making statues.
Inasmuch as there is plenty of 1t to be
had, every clay bank being a mine Of it,
1t may reasonably be expected that pro-
cesses will eventually be discovered for
separating it in unlimited quantities at
a comparatively cheap rate from the ma
terials with which it is found combined
in nature. One important advantage
that it has for statuary and monumental
purposes is the fact that 1t does not cor
rode and is as untarnishable as gold.
The aluminium Diana is being put to-
gether by New York firm. She will
be 10 feet high, whereas her predecessor
was 10 feet In height. The sculptor, st.
Gaudens. and other experts were Of the
opinion that the original goddess was
too big. So they took 1t down and or
dered new one, while the big copper
huntress was shipped to the Worlds fair
at Chicago. Exchange

ssYankee DoodleD

The tune of ''Ya nkee Doodle" has had
seven or eight treatises written upon it
in the last 80 years, ascribing it to vari-
GUS dates and origins, even back to The
Netherlands and the days of Cromwell
and the Charleses. DR.. George Grove of
London, author of the Dictionary of
Music and Musicians, has investigated
thoroughly the various musical libraries
and the British museum in England,
finding no traces of it whatever, thus ex-
ploding all the mystical, traditional and
apochryphal accounts thereof.
But yankee Doodle" had an origin
and has a history. It was written by
Dr. Richard Schuchburg, whose com
mission dates 1877, in the French and
Indian war of 1865 under General JEFF
frey Amherst and was intended as a
"take Off on the rag, tag and bobtail"

the army. 1t ''took" so well. however,
that the Americans have ever adopted it
and would not part with it for anything.
The first words,

were in the Boston Journal in 1868, and

The neatest and most economical pos
sible foot wear is low cut shoe of
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors of the feet with the
neatest of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of large
foot and forms a very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
ton. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and
styles of dress.-Jenness Miller Monthly.

A Just but Lenient Judge.

An unusual incident occurred in the
city court at Savannah a few days
ago. Judge Mcdonnell was tardy in
putting in an appearance, for which he
fined himself $40 and then promptly re-
mitted the fine. His honor went to see
his physician to have his arm, which he
recently injured, dressed, and the doctor
kept him little longer than he had
counted on. When he entered the
courtroom, the hands on the clock above
the judges desk pointed to just 10 min
utes past 10.
Judge Mcdonnell took note of the fact
and said: "In accordance with the rules
of this court every officer who comes in
late is subject to fine. The clerk will,
therefore, enter fine of $40 against the
court for hardness, to be paid into the
registry of the court. Owing to the
fact, however, that this is the first time
this thing has happened, and also that
the court had to be detained in order to
have its arm dressed, the clerk will re-
nit the fine. Baltimore Sun.

Suppose French politeness is myth,
it is one to be cultivated the world over.
Even the humblest peasant in the small
est province is endowed with an all con-
quering courtesy that is brought into
play in the most commonplace matters.
If our men could only be taught some OF
it, how much more easily would run the
wheels Of life's machinery Business is
business, Of course. The rush and worry
of money getting dwarf the real nature,
yet at the same time stocks would actno
more irregularly, bills would be no less
ready TO be paid, panics would occur no
more frequently If the arbitrators of
great affairs would but remember to
bring into their business life little more
of the softening influence or refined
courtesies that are tho flowers In mead
ow of rank weeds.-New York World.

And now an authority inveighs against
steaming the face as preventiveag against
wrinkles, alleging that this is the swift
est and surest process by which to pro-
duce them. THE second layer of the
skin becomes attenuated, and there is a
decrease in bulk of the superficial lay
ers," is the technical explanation which
the laity will not understand and does
not need to, The simple fact is suffi-
Gent. But why should wrinkles be such
red rag to every woman? They must
inevitably come if one lives long enough,
and barring the suppression of the habit
of frowning and the avoidance of dan
gerous cosmetics it seems useless to fight
them.
Time was when we were taught that
they were the lines of character, and
time is when character, as shining forth
in the expression of the face, makes the
wrinkles forgotten. Watch the soul be-
hind the wrinkles. Take as much care
of that as you strive to of the outer layer
of cuticle, which is its external sem
blance, and the wrinkles will be lost or
overlooked in the screens and steady eye
and quiet but smiling mouth. "Think
lofty things" says preacher, and the
countenance will show the thought. -

HOME FROM SCHOOL.

Now here am in the good old place
Yes little mother, I'm here to stay.
Let me hold your hair against my face
And kiss both cheeks in the dear old way.
Just look at me hardin well and strong;
Just feel my arms-they'l stand the test;
I'll go to the kitchen where belong
You go to the porch and rest.
Now hear, little mother, you dear little mother,
Sit under the vines and rest.
I liked my teachers. l liked my books.
1 had my share of the pranks and fun.
But my heart came back to the sweet home
hooks
And rested with you when the day was done.
l used to think what you had for tea;
just what you we're doing and how you were
dressed,
And somehow or other it seemed to me
You didn't take half enough rest.
You sly little mother, you spry little mother,
Pm going to have you rest.
Dear little mother, it brings the tears
Whenever l think what I've let you do.
You've planned for my pleasure years and
years
It's time planned a little for you.
So drop that apron and smooth your hair;
Read, visit or knit-what suits you best;
Lean back in your chair, let go your care,
And really and truly rest.
You neat little mother, you sweet little mother,
Just take vacation and rest.

The Natives Had scruples.

Once an amusing story was told me
by South sea trader, writes Mrs Rob
ert Louis Stevenson. He had been in the
habit of carrying all sorts of timed
meats, which the natives bought with
avidity. Each tin was branded with a
colored picture-a COW for beef, sheep
for mutton and fish for sardines.
It happened that the firm who fur
nished the mutton thought 1t good
plan to change their labels, that their
goods might be more easily distinguished
from others. The mark chosen was a
red dragon.
The natives came with their copra to
trade as usual. The new tins were
shown them, but they recoiled with hor-
ror and gave the trader to understand
that they had had some religious in
struction and were not to be deluded in
to eating timed devil.
The trader was forced to eat his stock
of mutton himself, for not native could
be persuaded to touch the accursed
thing
