LightninV's strange selection.

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 a sheep. Another man, passing on a
pony, stopped to exchange a few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for q minute or two. He had
been standing there but very short
time when sharp crack of thunder was
preceded by a binding flash of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost out of
his senses by seeing the pony and its
rider suddenly collapse i'll 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 it as it had
served the pony. The sheep was stone
dead! This, it may be as well to state,
is perfectly true story.-London Tit
Bits.

French Politeness.

Suppose French politeness is a 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 irreguiarly, bills would be no less
ready to be paid, panics would occur no
more frequently if the arbitrator of
great affairs would but remember to
bring into their business life little more
of the softening influence or refined
cOurtesies that are the flowers in Il mead
ow of rank weeds.-New York World.

The Best Language For Telephoning.

The French language, it appears, Is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele-
phone than the English. 1t is stated that
the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-
tables in English renders it less easy
and accurate means of communication.
Some English words are especially diff
cult of transmission by telephone. The
word soldier is cited as one of these.
Proper names frequently occur in the
midst of an otherwise perfectly audible
and intelligent conversation which the
ear cannot possibly catch. These must
be spelled out, involving delay.-Elec'

What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The fact that Mayor Paschal has
received a warning letter has
startled the people; our city has
been free from anarchy, and the
great mass of the people will not
tolerate any approach to it.
The letter never emanated from
working man or foreigner; it is
the sneaking trick of some idle
lOafer who would like to cause
sensation.
No man in this city more keenly
appreciates the needs of the people
than does Mayor Pasehal. lie
