Remarkable Escape OF n Pilot Boat
Keeper When Struck by Light-
ming.
Propped up with pillows in large
willow rocking clair, with his eyes
tightly bandaged, sits young man Of
Cambridgeport. who was struck by
lightning last Saturday, but lives to tell
the story, says the Boston Transcript.
His name is Horace w. Folgor, he
lives at 2JS Green street, and is one
Of the keepers on the pilot boat Flor
ence. 1t is not too much to say that
a pair of rubber boots saved his life.
When the storm came up on Saturday
afternoon the pilot boat Florence was
moored a quarter Of a mile from Bos-
ton light Tho keepers OF the boat put
on their oil clothing. southwesters and
rubber boots. and FolGer, who is about
% years old, stood on deck observing
the storm, his left hand clasping the
back brace. q wire cord half an inch in
diameter. There had been only two
flashes, and no one aboard thought
danger near Then came third. and
Mr. Folger knew nothing for over an
hour. The current evidently selected
the highest object-the bamboo pole
above the main topmast-and tore it
into small pieces after 1t had ripped
the flag. Then the electricity came
down the backstay into Folger. His
rubber boots, however, offered resist
ance. and so part of the energy branch
ed off In another direction. AS it was,
his left side caught the force Of the
charge. Luckily three women were
aboard, comprising summer pleasure
party, and one of them proved an eX-
pert in this emergency case. After an
hour Of rubbing and dosing Folger be-
gan to show signs of life and COM
planned of a violent headache, the SEN
sation of sea-sickness, a paralyZed con-
dition OF the left side and throat, and
prickly feeling through the whole
body. 1t was evening before he be-
came altogether himself, and then he
was taken ashore in the physicians
boat Vigilant and carried to his home
In an ambulance
1t was not until Sunday night that
| even water passed his lips. In the
meantime his left eye began to pain
him intensely when he opened it and
| his skin felt tough as leather. His
face gradually assumed its normal
color after the deep purple flush, caus-
ed by the fash. had faded. Now he Is
much more like himself, and there Ia
good prospects of his speedy recovery.
He says that the hour following the
stroke is blank to him.

SAVING TIMBER IN mIssIsslPPL

Stringent state Laws for the Pre-
se-vation of Forests From Extlnc-
tion.
Timber depredations, according to
the New York Evening Post, have been
stopped practically In Mississippi by
law which Furnishes offenders severely.
There are large areas OF forest land
there belonging either to the United
States government or TO the state.
and the temptation TO settlers in re-
mote regions TO enter upon them and
help themselves to wood was often
too strong 10 be resisted. When driven
from federal land by deputy United
States marshals, the timber thieves
found refuge In the state forests. which
were not so wei policed, lnd by NOV
ing from one territory to the other
they contrived TO escape arrest. The
federal officers finally became so vigil
liant that timber stealing proved dan
gerOus business, and the thieves trans
f,rred all their operations TO the state
lands. The legislature thereupOn pass
ed the law referred to. and Il has Inn
proved the morals OF the people so
much that some districts which form
erly were the scene Of Wholesale depre-
dations are now almost free from the
raids OF poaching woodmen. The stat
ute imposes a fine OF 81 per acre for
each acre I'm every forty-acre subdivi-
sion of land upon which any trespass
Is committed For the protection OF
private owners IL also provides that
for every tree cut down without their
consent fine Of IS shall be paid.

habits he had one of saying rats to
his mother when she reproved him.
One day she told him that the next
time he said ''rats" to her she would
punish him severely. Being taken to
task later in the day for som, childish
misdemeanor, he threw his head back
and exclaimed with flashing eyes:

You cannot satisfy some people.
There are certain taxpayers of New
Utrecht, N. Y, who are complaining
20 the supreme court that there is too
much light of nights in that town.
They think that a street lamp for
every three inhabitants is too lib
eral provision and that moreover it
would not have been made il some
body had not stood in with the local
gas company 20 award IL the contract
at $28 per lamp. One man, who has
ten gas lamps near his house, is real

The noble horse is in hard lines.
The substitution OF electricity for

Ring Fortunes.

a pretty way to tell fortunes is to
hang gold ring-a plain one is best
on long hair just taken from some
ones head and, resting your elbow on
table where q glass tumbler or COB
let is set, let the ring hang down un.
til it swings just below the top of the
glass. Hold the enis of the hair
firmly between the thumb AMI fore
finger, and keep the hanl perfectly
still. In little while the ring will
begin to swing back and forth, going
faster and farther until it strikes the
side of the tumbler with tinkling
sound.
Now the questions must be asked
by the one who holds the ring or any
one watching the performance. All
questions must be such as can be
answered by yes or no. For example,
you could not ask when am l going
away?" but Am going away at such
or such time?" One tap of the ring
on the glass means No" two means
ut is uncertain" three means YES"

Dangerous Roads.

A representative of THE TIMES has had occasion to travel the road leading south from town to Madison lately. To say that part of that road is i'm passable is putting it mildly. The last hill at the eastern slope of the rid ge is simply suicidal to look upon much less travel. And to add to the danger of life and limb some one has endeav- ored to improve the washes by filling in with saplings, brush, etc., without covering them, thereby keeping the traveler in constant dread of his team or vehicle picking up snag, and to avoid these Instructions means to plunge off into deep gully or abandon the trip.
 We have not taken the pains to as certain the name of the overseer of this road, but state these facts as they appear.
 It is high time that each member of d community should realize that noth- ing is so conducive to the interest and prosperity of country as good roads.
