Phepomena Allied to lightning.

Subterranean thunders have occasion
ally been heard preparatory to an aerial
eruption. The sea has cast up volumes
of water, as if volcanoes were exploding
below. The ground has burst open, and
floods of water have gushed forth from
the sides Of hills or from assures in the
rocks. Taking another class of effects,
cures have been performed by lightning
-gouty men have been enabled to walk
freely, epileptic persons have been healed,
amaurosis has been removed and rheu-
matism dispelled by fash. But one
dare not look too closely into the subject
of medical electricity nor venture to rec
ommend any one to tempt lightning in
the hope of experiencing its curative eff
fects.-Chambers' Journal

TWILIGHT.

Slowly dies the long June day,
Softly rolls the earth away,
Lovelier light at length divining,
All dream of misty bloom,
Trembling stars and golden gloom,
Larger heavens and sweeter shining
Which is dearer, dusk or day?
Where the glory dyed the dark,
Lost in light the ruby spark,
Violet CLEAN and saffron splendor,
Melt and mingle into one,
When the long June day is done,
All the depths throb close and tender
Is 1t day, or Is it dark?
Lowell the long June day had life,
Silver shsTers and sunny strife
Now its rosy wrath fades DER ust
Eds vast twilight fllls our eyes,
Yet what freedom OF the skies
Parts the star sown way before us
Is 1t death, or Is it life?

THE NEW BABY.

There Cage to port last Sunday night
The queerest little craft,
Without an inch of rigging on;
looked and looked and laughed.
1t seemed so curious that she
Should cross the unknown water
And moor herself right in my room
My daughter, oh, my daughteri
She had no manifest but this,
No flag floats DER her water;
She's too new for the British LloydS-
My daughter, oh. my daughterl
Ring out, wild bells, and tanned ones tool
Ring out the lovers moonl
Ring In the little worsted socksi
Ring in the bib and spoon.
Ring out the music: ring In the nurseI
Ring in the milk and waterl
Away with paper, pen and ink
My daughter, oh, my daughterl

sive positions been devised in France
for the study of the swimming motions
of fish. A rayfsh was chosen as the sub
ject Of investigation, and the successive
photographs were taken at intervals of
one-tenth of second. They show COM
pletely the movement Of the fins and
present similarity to the photographs
that have been obtained Of the motions
Of the wings of flying bird.
The swimming action begins with a
lifting of the front part of the fin. This
lifting motion runs rapidly backward
along the fin, the front part being in the
meantime depressed once more, and just
before the motion ceases at the tail the
movement recommences at the front end
of the fin,-Youths Companion.

A Cure For stammering.

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives
very simple remedy for the misfortune.
He says; 'Go into room where you
will be quiet and alone, get some book
that will interest but not excl IA and
sit down and read two hom loud to
yourself, keeping your teeth together.
DO this every two or three days-or once
a week if very tiresome-always taking
care to read slowly and distinctly, NOV
ing the lips, but not the teeth. Then,
when conversing with others, try to
speak as slowly and distinctly as posi-
bic and make up your mind that you
will not stammer.
1.-THE first result was to make my jaws
ache-that is, while was reading-and
the next to make me feel as if something
had loosened my talking apparatus, for
could speak with less difficulty imme-
diately. The change was so great that
every one who knew me remarked it. l
repeated this remedy every five or six
DAYS for month, and then at longer in
tervals until cured. New York Tele-

The Glove In History.

The glove has served many purposes,
such as the award of honor, token of
love, payment of service and gift Of
gratitude. 1t was once also the signal
of mercy, the dropping of the royal
glove before culprit under punishment
securing instantaneous release, and
from early times it has also served as a
challenge to deadly combat. The habit
of presenting gloves was kept up even
unto Puritan times, and finally grew in
to such an extravaganza that the legis-
lature of Massachusetts took the matter
up and forbade the lavish glove giving
under penalty Of $50 fine The glove
has served an important part in the
