Earthquakes and Etiquette.

4 curious revolution of manners and
customs has resulted from the earth
quakes in Cala0ria. In the little town of
Gioia Tauro, which still has a wretched
aspect, the wellto-do families are
obliged to remain in temporary huts
Now, in Gioia Tauro the young ladies
were condemned by custom to remain
much within doors, scarcely ever enjoy
ing movement in the open air. But since
the families have been obliged to dwell
in the incommodious wooden huts, it has
become necessary to give more liberty to
the girls, who have made the utmost use
of their freedom, and, in the exquisite

Having once tasted these delights, it is to
be supposed that the young girls will not
readily give them up when their native
town is restored TO prosperity, and that
they will run out of the stone houses as
readily as they have done out OF the
wooden huts.-Naples Correspondence

OMAHA. June 2S.-The Omaha Com

night one of the most brilliant banquets
in the history of Omaha. The object OF
the banquet was two-fold. It was first
designed to celebrate the wonderful pros
perity which is dawning upon the State
as a consequence of the bountiful crops
which are assured this year. On account
of the widespread tales of destltutlon Il
Nebraska, which have been known all
over the land, it seemed fitting that a
public event should be the medium to
notify the country Of the contrast be-
tween this and last year, for there IS not
now even one county Of the State IN
which the brightest prospects for plenty
do not obtain, the drought section of last
year being especially favored. The sec
ond object of the banquet was to express
the sentiments of the business men OF
Omaha in admiration of the administra-
tive course and acts Of Governor Silas a.
HolcOmb.

Of the club, delivered an address of well

deliving an eloquent tribute TO Nebraska
and its resources and thanking the clu b
for its testimonial.
Nebraska to-day is most prosperous" :"
said the Governor. The climatic cOndi-
tions are fixed, and are as certain as the
movements of the planets. The eastern
half of the State is shown by statistics to
have a greater average rainfall than sew
eral other States of the Missouri Valley
which are proverbially prosperous. The
western half is dependent to some extent
on irrigation, and already over 100000
acres are under irrigation, which, with
the grazing counties, makes the western
portion very productive"
The Governor advocated the Ceding to
the State by the Government of Govern
ment lands. as is done in other Western
States, and irrigating 1t and using 1t as
foresIries. In conclusion, the Governor
said he believed that Nebraska is capable
OF supporting, aud will be supporting in
twenty years, more than 1000, 900 people.

THE MAGNETIC STROMSTADTS.
They Drank Iron Water and Were
Magnetized by lightning.

Ihey Drank Iron Water and Were
MagnetiZed by Lightning.
y remarkable story comes from the
upper Yakima. Two years ago Peter
StrOmStaut located piece of land near
what IS now known as BoraX Springs,
mis- family consisting of his wife and two
children, says the Tacoma D0{Iu NclCs.
y few days after his settlement Mr..
Stromstadt discovered a spring close to
the shack he had erected, the water of
which was strongly impregnated with
iron. but not unpalatable. Mr.. Strom-
stadt dug out and deepened the spring
and since July, 1893, the family has used
the water Tor all domestic purposes.
On the night Of April "a a heavy electri-
cal storm passed over the Cascades, ac-
companled by vivid displays OF light
ming. The following morning Mrs.
StrOmstadt, while kindling the fire in the
stove, found II almost impossible 10 sep
arate the StOve-lifter from her hand. Her
husband, hearing her scream, ran TO her
assistance. when, 10 his surprise, he
found that he, too, experienced great
difficulty in detaching any article of iron
with which his hands came in contact
Breakfast was finally prepared and the
family sat down to the meal.
The children, TWO girls OF 5 and years,
drank their milk from tin cups and.
upon raising the cups to their lips, found
themselves unable TO detach the cups
from their mouths. Mr.. Stromstadt. who
is an intelligent immigrant from Sweden,
was nonplused, and while unable to ac-
count for the wonderful occurrences.
nevertheless laughed at his wife's excited
declarations that the family were be-
witched. Mr.. Stromstadt has written q
friend in town. He says that the small
bed on which tho children sleep is upon
roller casters, ana that in the morning
the bed is invariably pointing north and
south. the bed being little to the east of
north.
The case is one OF the most remarkab
on record. a member Of the Academy
of Sciences, to whom the circumstances
were related, states that the Stromstadt
family has become saturated with iron,
which was rendered magnetic by the
passage of electricity from the clouds to
the earth during the storm on the night
