A Ball of Fire on IA HOusetop,

During a severe electrical storm this
evening the Crescent oil refinery was
struck by lightning and caught fire, but
the blaze was extinguished without
much damage. The house of Ferdinand
Kreiner was struck by ball of electric
fire, which exploded with tremendous
force. A fire alarm was turned in, but
the electrical display burned itself out
without even setting fire TO the house
Eyewitnesses say it was the most re-
markable sight they ever witnessed. An
enormous electric globe of fire lodged
against the peak of the house, where IL
hung, burning and splitting flashes Of
fire until exhausted. Every inmate of
the place was more or less severely
shocked, the air being heavily charged.
All watches and clocks on the premises
were stopped and other electrical phe-
nomena occurred. Bradford Cor. Pitts

In Paris there is a cat whose future
welfare has become quite a question of
public interest. The animal belonged
to Nine. Dubrai, and his mistress was
so fond of him that she left sum of
money in trust to the mayor Of the
third ACCOMPLISHMENT, in which she re-
sided, for the use of the scholastic fund
(Caisse DIES Ecoles) Oh condition that a
certain amount shall go toward pussy's
maintenance. A trusty person is to be
nominated by the mayor, who will under
take to house the lucky cat and give
him three meals a day, consisting Of
such delicacies as lights, liver and
heart: It is estimated that after this
charge has been met there will only be
about 200 francs year left for the fund,
and the question now agitating public
functionaries is whether that sum is
worth the responsibility to be incurred.

Queer Antics of Clouds.

Tuesday afternoon. during the rain
and hajlstorm, cloud was observed a
few miles south of this place that acted
very strangely, to say the least. 1t was
quite near the ground and seemed to be
violently agitated. Suddenly the cloud
seemed to burst asunder, one part going
to the northwest and only forty or fifty
feet from the earth. One of the sections
passed over or through the tops of some
tall poplar trees and shaved them off as
if a gigantic moving machine had
passed that way. A heavy hailstorm
also passed over narrow strip Of coun-
try near there, and at Sand Slough there
were piles of them still remaining in
spots late Wednesday morning Very
little hail fell here, and it was so small
as to be scarcely Observation-Disclosures

Little Short of Murder.

The neighbors around certain corner
OF Ash street were alarmed on Monday
night by low means issuing from close
ly curtained carriage that stood on the
corner. A driver sat upon the seat.
One Of the neighbors came out and ap-
preached the team to ask what was the
matter Before he reached the corner
the driver caught sight of him, and
whipping up the horses drove rapidly
off. The folks were doubly alarmed,
and after good deal Of exciting talk
asked policeman to call at the house on
the corner and ascertain who was hurt,
or If any mystery was in the means. He
talked with an excited woman who
came to the door, and also with man
who wiped his eyes with handkerchief,
while the neighbors stood across the
street in suspicious silence. The officer
came over the street and told them that
the old family dog, the hero of dozens
and dozens of fights and of 20 years, had
been carried off to die by bullet. The
dog evidently understood his fate, for
he began to moan and moan as soon as
they took him from the house.-Lewis-

Smut of Oats and Wheat.

Following is brief formula of the
hot watel treatment for smut OF oats
and sinking smut in wheat. This
method is known aS the Jensen method,
and was discovered by Prof. j. l.. Jen-
son, of Denmark in 1887:
The farmer may use his ingenuity in
regard 10 the treatment of his wheat
and oats, and use whatever convenien-
ceS he has at hand-anyway, SO that he
accOmpliSheS the desired result. One
way we find convenient is to have II
kettle in which to heat water quite hot
say 165 :. Near this kettle place a
barrel in which TO treat the seed. Fill
this barrel about one half full of hot
water from the kettle and then by add
ing either hot or cold water, the tenn
perature of the water in the barrel may
be kept at the desired height. Into
this barrel dip the seed. The dipping is
easily done by placing about bushel
of seed into "A coarse gunny sack and
fasten this sack to one end of long
pole hung across notched post. The
seed should be kept moving all the time
while in the hot water and by using
the pole this is easily done Oats may
be treated just before sowing. After
taking them out of the barrel of hot
water it is best to throw cold water
over them to cool them off, and then
let them stand and drain two or three
hours after which they may be sown
broadcast. Wheat dries much more
rapidly, so if spread out Immediately
after treating and left to dry few
hours, it can then be sOwn broadcast
or in force feed drill. AS the grains
will be considerably swollen after their
treatment it is well to regulate the drill
to feed from one to two pecks more per
acre than with dry seed. 1t will readily
be seen that this method is in reach of
every farmer. All that is required is
one kettle, one or two barrels and a
coarse sack. Two men in one day can
treat enough oats to SOW 90 acres and
enough wheat to SOW 40 acres. One
caution to be observed is that of using
no bags or dishes for treated seed that
have been used for the untreated seed,
unless they have been frSt scalded.
The water should be at 1856 when the
wheat or oats are put in. Allow the
grain TO remain in the water five
minutes md keep the temperature
above 1907 IL it is difficult to keep
the temperature up as required it may
be found convenient to dip the seed
into barrel containing water at about
1909 for the purpose of warming the
seed before putting it into the barrel
i'm which it is to be treated. The seed
should be kept moving all the time it is
in the barrel.
1t is difficult to secure reliable Their.
mometers, that do not need testing, fol
less than $3.50, but any Michigan
farmer, by sending % cents to the
director of the experiment station, Agl
College postoflice, can get properly
tested and marked thermometer.

Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute has fecome
one of the institutions of the age in
which we live. Ii would not have been
possible twenty-five years ago. Then
the County Fair was the school for
farmers in which they were taught by
the specimens and samples and animals
entered for the show-each the best
representative of the products of the
farm. Such object lessons subserved
their purpose, had their brief day and
declined.
The first Farmers Institute in our
state was held in the winter of 1875.
Six meetings were provided for in
different parts of the state and they
marked new era i'm the education of
farmers. They took strong hold upon
the public from the start and have be-
came the popular method of distribut-
ing agricultural knowledge among
rural people. The study of principles
and the calculation of supposed facts,
here meet practical experimentation
the one theory and the other a
practice, and compare notes. If the
theory be true, the practice will prove
it. The methods of farmers are so
varied that endless occasions tor dis
cussion are presented to the profit OF
all.
The farmer who has the opportunity
and fails To attend an Institute, does
not appreciate his privilege. The state
furnishes the lectures and pays their
salaries and expenses, So that those who
do not attend get nothing out of what
they help To pay for. e..

Worth Twenty Thousand Dollars to Him.

l. N. Locke, of Wayne county, Ind,
was formerly an active trader. In May,
1879, he was in Chicago and bought a
lot for small sum. He put the deed in
an envelope and placed it in his pocket
with other papers. A few days after
ward he lost the envelope and all its
contents. He advertised for it, but real
ly cared only for the notes, thinking the
lot of little value. John Ritchey, VIC
tim Of softening of the brain, was wan
dering aimlessly on the street the day
Locke lost his papers. He found them
and laid them away, and even after his
death no notice was taken of the sup
posed worthless papers. A short time
ago John Ritchey found the package
and gave it to Mr.. Locke, and through
his attorney his claim has been estab-
lished. Had the deed remained con-
cealed few days longer the twenty
years would have expired and no claim
allowable. 1t is lot in the boulevard
addition, and the parties occupying it
have given Mr.. Locke SEQ, 900 for quit
claim.-Chicago Letter.

The pei ple residing along Palmetto
cyyek, Soukh Carolina, as well as those
for miles back in the ''slashes," are
highly excited over the appearance of q
strange and uncouth creature in that
vicinity. The beast is described as be-
ing a creature that far outdoes the night
mare ideas of the mythologists. 1t is
equally at home in the water, on the
land or among the tall trees of the
neighborhood, where it has been most
frequently seen. The general contour
of the head reminds one of some gigantic
serpent with this exception: The ''snout"
terminates in a bulbus, monkey faced
knot, which much resembles the physi-
ognomy Of some gigantic ape. From
the neck down, with the exception Of
some fin shaped flippers, which extend
from the arms to the waist. the creature
resembles man, only that the toes and
fingers are armed with claws from two
to six inches long.
Tracks made by the beast in the soft
mud around Hennis lake have been
taken to Donner's Grove, where they are
kept on exhibition in druggists show
case. Those who have seen the horrid
thing face to face say that it is full
nine feet in height, which could hardly
be believed only for the fact that the
tracks mentioned above are within a
small fraction of fifteen inches in length.
Fishermen who surprised the monster
sitting silently on a mass of driftwood
declared that its back looked like an al
hgator's, and that it had caudal ter
mination yard long, which forked like
the tail of fish.-St. Louis Republic.

1t is possible that there will be an In
ternational rowing match arranged be-
fore the close of the rowing season of
1892. For some time past an informal
correspondence has been carried on be-
tween the president of the Oxford Uni
versity Boatclub and the rowing men
of both Harvard and Yale colleges in
the United States. The medium of
communication was Mr.. Chase Mellin,
an old Brasenose oar, who is at present
residing in the states. The idea was to
bring Oxford against the winners of the
Harvard Yale match. Harvard has al
ways expressed willingness to ratify
an international match if such thing
was possible, and the only bitches likely
to occur were the locale and the time.
In an interview with r. &. Lehman, the
coach Of the Oxford crew, that gentle
man says:
1.-THE Oxford University Boatclub is
very anxious to arrange a match with
the winner of the Yale Harvard match
this year. Informal communications
have, believe, come from the other
side Of the Atlantic, and have been an
swered by Mr.. Fletcher, who is now
president of the o. U. B. c."
MIR. Lehman thought that race
might be arranged on the river Thames,
between Putney and Mortlake, in the
month of September, and that Mr.
Fletcher and his companions expect to
get favorable reply is an open secret
1t is well known fact that joint com
mittee Of Harvard and Yale has favored
this project for some years, and it was
the intention of the Americans to invite
a representative crew of English college
rowers to Chicago next season to take
part in the national regatta there. 1t is
more than probable that the winners of
the Harvard race will meet the
English rowers on the river Thames this
year, and then ask for return contest
next year at Chicago Sporting

THE WOOL TARIFF FRAUD.

What the Parkersbura SeRt,ael
says IN the following Is u truth that
is as applicable to Preston county
as it is to Wood county. 1t is we'll
for our farmers to read and ponder
over:
"Undcr the old tariff law there
used to bo half dozen or moro
wool buyers in Parkersburg every
season, and there was continuous
scramble among them to secure tho
wool grown in this section. This
active competition kept up prices to
a fair and profitable figure.
"When the Mckinley bill was
passed it increased the tariff on
wool and wool products, and at
once wool went down about four
cents a pound. In the meantime
nearly all the buyers disappeared
from the wool raising regions.
"They formed combination
whereby they agreed among them
selves that each should have a ter.
ritory free from interference by
others, then only one buyer would
appear in one locality, as he was
without competition he could fix
the price ut any figure no choose to
pay. And tho farmers being com
PEELED to sell would have to accept
the price offered them.
"Thcre is now an effort to de.
press the wool market again with a
threat that the Democrats will re.
dsce the tariff and the price will 90
down. In this statement be true
then all tariffs that boar on wool or
woolen products are frauds and
wool should Mt once get on tho free
list.
every farmer knows that the
Mckinley bill increased the tariff
on wool. and that at once wool do
creased in price. II, then, a reduc-
tion in the tariff will also see fall
in tho price OF wool, where docs
protection to the farmers" come
