WHY Lightning Usually Kills.

Those who are un%acquainted with the
facts in the case often express surprise
when told that not more than z MAJ
in 500 who has been struck by lightning
survives, and that with the larger mi
mails the ratio is still smaller. In thi.
age of investigation electric and other
wiss) the laymm can give explanation,
for natural phenomena that would have
staggered the so-called philosophers OF
olden times. Thus we find that the cleo
tro motive force of lightning has been a
subject OF discussion for some time past,
amateurs and experts alike taking par
in the argument. At Berlin the grea
Academy of Science grappled with the
subject and the spirited discussions over
the "dynamic force of the unseen bol5'
were only second to the question "Hon
shall we kill the comma bacil!i" Making
deductions from all these wrangle5 an0
contentious, I find that the generally &C
copied opinion is that the electromotlVe
force of a bolt of lightning is abou
$500, 900 volts, the current about a.
OOO, 600 amperes, and the time OF tn
discharge about 100000 Fart of

energy equal to 2,45o,O 900, 900 watts, o

CURE FOR scALDs AND BURNS.

No accident occurs more frequently in
most families than that of scalding or
burning. For an accident of this kind
a good reliable domestic remedy is
needed, that may be used Immediately
before a physician arrives. This remedy
I have found in so simple a preparation
as alum curd. To make it, take a gill
or more of sweet milk, put it in a tin
vessel and place it on the stove to warm.
Add to the milk adump of alum about
the size of a thimble, OF larger, accord
ing to the quantity of milk. Sur the
alum about till the milk curdles. Skim
out the curd and apply it to the wound
on a soft cloth. The curd will stop the
pain almost instantly. Dress the wound
at least twice a day, wetting the cloths in
the meantime with the whey as often as
they become dry. Make fresh alum
curd daily and continue to dress the
wound till it is completely healed.
The remedy has been successfully used
in my own family and by my neighbors
for several years. It has cured several
cases of severe scalds and burns, healing
the wounds without leaving a scar,
which is an important matter. For all
the numerous little burns frequently &C.
curing in family of children, the alum
curd is a panacea, giving immediate
comfort. As compared with carron oil,
collodion, soda, starch-paste, -four batter
and many other %salves, ointments and
liniments used as dressings for burns
throughout the country, the alum curd
is by far the best remedy. A lump oil
alum should be kept in every family
medicine closet ready for use whenever
accidents occur by burning or scalding,
thus saving much pain and many a de-
formed hand or scared face so common
in country places.-American Agricul'
turist.

POTATO BREAD,

There are many persons who are very
fond of bread made with potatoes, but
very few people seem to have the knack
Of making it.
1t is very simple, once one gets the
hang of it. so to speak, and the result
is a loaf which will keep fresh much
longer than any ordinary bread.
For four regular sized leaves of bread
take about eight or ten large potatoes,
peel them very carefully 80 as to leave
spots or eyes, put them in water sufficient
to them, with a little salt and boil
them until they begin to break up. Then
with a potato-masher crush them, water
and all, as fine as possible. They should
then be passed though a sieve and
added to a sponge which has meanwhile
been rising. Mix this potato pulp and
the bread dough thoroughly, set aside
to rise for a short time, then mold and
put in pans.
The favor, 6neness of grain aud
general quality of bread are greatly i'm
proved by this addition, and while it in
wolves quite a little additional we-k, it
is work that pays very well. The bread
will remain fresh much longer and not a
crumb need be wasted.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that it is much more likely to mold, if
exposed to dampness, after the addition
of potat6J and must be carefully watched,
as even the slightest symptom of mold
in potato bread makes it unfit to eat

The Tale Of the Telepho re.

The first telephone that was ever used
was not electrical, nor was it a scientific
instrument in any sense of the term. A
little mo e than fifty years ago the en-
ployes Of q large mandatory beguiled
theil leisure hours by kite flying. Kites
large and small went up daily, aud the
strife was to see who could get the
largest. The Irvine which held them
was the thread spun and twisted by the
ladies Of the village.
One day to the tail of the largest kite
was attached a kitten, sewed in a can.
vas bag, with a netting over the mouth
to give it air. When the kite was at its
greatest height, some 200 feet or more,
the mewing of the kitten could be dis
tinctlY heard by those holding the string.
To the clearness of the atmosphere was
attributed the hearing of the kittens
voice. This is the first account we re-
member of speaking along a line.-

3 Remembers Her NeWsboy Friend,

ssThere is a young man in Mobile,
Ala.," said Colonel Robert McEachin, OF
Winchester, Va, "who has cause to re-
member Amelie Rives, the writer, twice
a year. When the now distinguished
lady was a little girl aud lived in that
CITY, she became fondly attached to a
newsboy who cried out his papers every
morning in the neighborhood in which
she lived. They met one day and a friend
ship sprang up between them that ha'
lasted to the present time. After the
boys stock of papers were sold in thu
morning he would call for the pretty
little blue-eyed miss and they would take
long strolls down Prosecute road, pluck.
ing the orange blossoms and the magno-
liza blooms. They soon got to be fami
liar figures on Government street, as they
would walk along that busy thorough
fare with the young girls head garlanded
with wreaths of beautiful flowers and the
little boys arms filed with vines and
evergreens. Then Miss Rives moved far
away into Virginia, but she never forgot
her newsboy friend, for it was her custom
almost daily to write him, telling how
sadly she missed the walks and strolls,
his joyous, sunny face and the music of
his boyish laughter. I doubt if Mrs.
Chanler, as she o is, ever wrote love
lier or more poetic or passionate SEN
fences than those she used to send in her
letters to her newsboy sweetheart. The
boy met with a misfortune some yaars
ago which crippled him for life. He is
poor, but his purse is twice a year re-
plenished by a postofice order from Mrs
Chanler. One of these arrives IN Mobile
on his birthday, which is in June, ant

Stockades of Tusks.

ssThe ivory trade shows a most re-
rcarksble increase" Commercial Agent
,Mohuu writes from the Congo to the
state Department. "Ivory is the most
valuable article exported. It all comes
from the High Congo, both north and
sof,th of the river. Steamers bring it as
far as Stanley Pool, and from there to
Matadi $3.50 miles, native carriers bring
h on their backs. 1 have seen in one
dav 500 carrier come into Matadi, each
man carrying a tusk averaging sixty-fye
mounds in weight. When tusks weigh
300 pounds, which not infrequently
happens, four men carry them.
sMost of the ivory now coming down
il known as dead ivory Some OF the
elephants from which these tusks came
were killed one hundred years ago, and
the kings of villages have been storing
II. placingHthe last tusks brought in on
tor Of the pile, and when they required
some goods frog1 the coast traders the
tusks from the bottom layers were takta.
This system has prevailed for years, and
it is estimated that there is enough ivory
stored in the interior to supply the
world for the next century. It is esti
mated, but upon whose authority I can.
not discover, that there are still at least
200, 900 elephants in Central Africa.
"The only live or new ivory which
now comes down is that procured by
hunters attached to the different trading
houses. l may add that live ivory com
rnands a higher price than the dead. A
State expedition visited a native King
some month ago in the interior. Upon
leaving the commanding officer presented
the King with a uniform coat, cooked
hat and sword. The King, in return,
presented the officer with $50 tusks Of
ivory, averaging 220 pounds each, and
provided carriers to take them to tn,
river. These people do not recognize
the value, and laugh at the trader fol
buying. Some of these kings have stock

Didn't Know Real Coffee.

MANY persons who talk learnedly about
coffee and its making have seldom, II
ever. tasted pure coffee. All they know
Is a more or less strong infusion Of
chlcory, adulterated with a portion OF
coffee. I heard of a connoisseur the
other day who made the lives OF his
wife and his cook q burden to them by
reason of the coffee brought to him IN
his own house. In spite of the most
careful making and the most absolute
nurity his Mocha was never right. At
last, in desperation, his wife asked II ne
ever cot his coffee to his taste. "Oh,
YES, at the club. They make it there
right enough" was the answer. Driven
TO her wits end, the lady consulted with
her cook, and finally sent the latter to
| the club to learn the ''proper way 70
make coffee" AS the absolute purity
of the coffee was one OF the points IN
| sisted on as essential by her master, the
cook studied the coffee used in prepar-
inc her masters infusion, and her sense
Of smell speedily taught her that his go
called "pure coffee" was largely mixed
With chicory. The chef confirmed he'
opinion, and she went home. The cone'
was made, and for the first time gave
nerfect satisfaction. She was sent TO
bv her master and congratulated on thu
change in the preparation, whereupol
she answered quietly: "Please, sir, 1t i

that it was actually the purity OF hi
