SAN FRANCISCO, April-2S News has
Just been received here Of the marvel
GUS escape Of whole family from de-
struction by lightning on a ranch, near
San Miguel, San Mateo county. Just
as the family of Mr.. Hambley, consist
ing Of his wife, brother, sister and four
children, the youngest being only six
weeks old, were at sbreakfast, there
came crash and the house was almost
instantly transformed into kindling
wood all the members were uninjured
Hambley's shoes were torn from his
feet and his trousers stripped up TO the
knee. All the crockery was broken,
the clock ruined and furniture demOl-
ished. One trunk had hole about
four inches square and the clothing in
il was turned black. The only theory
advanced why no one was killed is that
lightning struck the stovepipe at the
roof and was thence conveyed to the
floor and then to the earth. 1t made a
hole in the ground four feet deep.

Ex-President Harrison, whose hand

that Of a woman, said, after writing his
annual message with a lead pencil:
"My thoughts How more freely from
the pencil" Other eminent men, who
have felt the weight Of great RESPONSE
bility, have been conscious OF nervous
irritation, mental friction and general
exhaustion when using pen, and an
almost entire freedom from such ills
when using a pencil with a smooth and
easy-ylelding lead. General Grant, I'm
