The Reanlt Of Not Advertising.

The Boston Traveller says that a few
weeks ago a Maine young man bought a
pair Of socks containing a note saying
the writerwas an employee of the Ken
osha wis. } knitting works and wanted
a good husband. She gave her name and
requested the buyer, if an unmarried
man, to write with a view. to matri-
mony.
The young man who found the note
considered the matter in all its phases
and decided to write to the girl He
did. Awaiting the answer with consid-
cradle anxiety, he was at last rewarded
with q curt letter stating that the girl
was now the mother Of two children
and had been married four years, and
the letter he had answered had been
written ever SO long ago.
1t was a ''sock dollager," and the
young man hunted for a solution. He
found it. The merchant of whom he
bought the socks doesn't advertise.

Lightning's Work.
On May oath, Rev. G.. G. Rupert and
son Harry and Ed Kuntz started from
Liberal hauling a small house for their
ranch on the Beaver three miles below
Sharp's Creek. They had one tealn of
four moderate horses and another team
of three heavy horses. AT noon they
stopped for dinner, after which the old
gentleman drove on ahead in his buggy.
About 3 o clock the young men encount-
cred shower when they stopped to wait
for it to pass over. They laid down on
some hay in the house, aud while lying
there bolt of lightning struck the hind
gable of the house, the one farthest from
the horses, tearing away about one.thrd
of the roof and hind standard of the
wagon. A portion of the electricity
ran down a screen door on the emu Of
the house, near which the young men
were lying with heads close together.
The current entered Mr.. Kuntz at his
heel, tearing his shoe off his foot and
tearing off his pants leg to his hip bone
then arouu 1 his abdomen to his spine,
where it left him, entering the hay and
setting it on fire. Where it left his
back, perfect t~char was burned as
largo as d.llar, from the margin of
which red halo iadiates. Mr.. kuntz
was burned to blister along the entire
route taken by the fluid, and was so cou'
pletely stunned by tie shock that he
would have burned to death had not
Harry Rupert escaped serious injury
and extinguished the flames. Another
curious as well as serious freak of the
bolt was that it killed the team of three
heavy hsrses, or so shocked them that
they died in five minutes. They were
not struck down, but gradually let them>
selves down as if lying down to roll.
There were 40 breaks or burns Of the
horses flesh. The financial loss To onr
new conner, Mr.. Rupert, is quite heavy,
and we sincerely regret it, while We
most heartily congratulate the young
men on their fortunate escape.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

The tenacity with which certain
customs hold their own in spite oil
the changes of time and civilization
is well illustrated in the continued
observance of the anniversary as
ISOLATED with the name of good Bis
hop Valentine. Although it has not,
of course, maintained It's early pres
tige, it still retains its place as a day
OF sentiment and furnishes the oppor-
tunity for the transmission ofexpres-
sion of tenderness, as we'll sometimes,
unfortunately, as missives of less
pleasant character. The comic val
entine, however, has no proper con-
nection with the anniversary and is
tabooed by the great majority of
people as an insult to the patron
saint of the festival, whose true func-
ton is that promotion love AMI good
will rather than ridicule and coarse
humor. 1t is this which has given
st. Valentine his hold on each sue.
ceeding generation. He is the or
thodox representative of the little
god of love, and he is likely to be
honored for an indefinate time to
come by all who own the sway of
the tender passion.-Baltimore Sun.

A RUSSIAN SLED.-Riding down
hill on cake of ice would rot seem
to us very amusing, except, perhaps,
10 the spectators, who might enjoy
it as a sort of frozen tub.race. As
a matter OF fact, though, a cake of
Ice in the hands OF a Russian boy
will make very good and rapid
sled. He saws out block that is
longer than it is thick, and about
high enough for a comfortable seat.
Then he scoops out a hollow like
saddle little back of the middle of
the upper surface, and upholsters it
with straw or rags. II is then ready
for its first trip down hill, and if the
rider is skilful he will make very
good time on it. But carrying it
back to the top of the incline would
be hard work for evena Russian boy.
and pushing it up hill would be
about as bad. A clever lad once
thought of better way, and all
other boys have copied after him
ever since. He found a good rye
straw, and began blowing through it
at the front of the block with the
end of the straw close to the ice.
Soon he had little hole in the block,
as neatly drilled as steel tool
could have done it In the course
of an hour and half he had driven
hole slantwise through the ice,
coming out at the top just in front
OF the saddle. A stout string pass
ed through the hole and knotted
completed his sled, which could
then be drawn up hill almost as
easily as the best coaster that ever
was made. If q boy is careful, for
his sled-and he is apt to be careful
for considerable work is necessary
to make one-it will last all winter;
Imagine HIM freezing on a new set
of runners when the old ones have
worn out!-Harper's Young People.
