HOW LIGHTNING KILLS.
1t Is the "Up Stroke" That Is Alwayi
 the Most Fatal.

1t Is the "Up Stroke" That Is Always
 the Most Fatal.
 A new theory as to how lightning kills, but one which may well be held in abeyance until Q clearer solution of it can be presented, is just now being urged by the scientists, says the St. Louis Republic. According to this new-fangled idea, a person is never "struck" by lightning at all--that is, in the general sense of the word quoted. The new theory is the result of deduc- tions that have been made along the following lines: All life is electric. In the human body the stomach is the generator and the brain the battery. When Q person is killed by lightning he is not struck" at all, but dies be- cause of a sudden loss of electric power which had been impelling his physical engine. The loss of this vital fluid, if such it may be called, is brought about in this manner: A thunderstorm is passing over. It is charged with posi- tive electricity md the earth beneath is charged negatively. The human electric battery is between. If the cloud is charged heavily enough it saps the negative electricity from the earth, using the human being as conductor, and finally leaves him lifeless by taking his electricity with that from the earth. This theory is in line with that which originated few years ago and which was 10 the effect that it was the up stroke" that kills.

AboAr<l ShiD,

Sea voyages are usually deemed pro- motive of health. So they ale iu most cases. But it may we'll be doubted if the shaking up aboard ship. which people of very fragile constitution and weak nerves get, is not prejudicial If it's effects are not avertetl or nulli- fled by a medicinal safeguard. The best, if we are to believe the testimony of ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for health, pleasure or busi- ness, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Invalids, commercial travellers, sea captains and yachtsmen concur in rec ommending this fine defensive tonic. So do emigrants to the frontier, the inhabitants of malarious reg Ons, and all who are opposed to haI dship or rigors of climate. For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trouble nervous ness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation, it is eminenly efflca- cious, and commended by the medical fraternity far and near.

THu BLeNHEIM SPANIEL.
Most Lovable of the Four-Footed Pets of
 WOmaukind.

Most Lovable of the Four-Footed Pets of
 Womankind.
 Of all the pets of womanlSind, babies alone excepted, there is nothing more lovable than the tiny Blenheim spaniel, says an exchange.
 Why this breed of dogs have the name of the palace of the duke of Marl- borough no one seems to know. The story goes, however. that the first duke had the breed, and that, on friends requesting puppy. he refused to part with one, but, nt the same time, took two or three blind whelps and threw them to tame eagles.
 Bnt in the year 1900 his grace, the duke of Marlborough, was reputed to possess the smallest and best breed of cookers (woodcock spanicls) in Brit ain. They were invariably red and white, with very long ears, short noses, and black eyes. They were evidently the ancestors of the present Blcnheims, which are still bred by the keepers of the lodges at Blenheim and some of the inhabitants of Woodstock.
 But there is little doubt that they have been crossed with the pug to give them the very short snub noses which they now possess. Moreover, the breed has become very delicate and difficult to rear. They suffer from brain dis ease, and are more likely than any other dog to die in puppyhood "Idstone," the celebrated writer on dogs, remem- ters the time when the Blenheims were mainly bred in the vicinity of the pal nee. He suggests as probable orig inal of the Blenheim the Japanese toy spaniel. The snrmise seems very prob. nble

A NOVEL LOVE ROMANCE.
Began with Stupid Man Who Damaged
 A yaulnnsa NOae.

Wonlan's Nose.
 Here's a curious story of love and courtship. About two years ago, says the Athens (Ga.) News, q young gentle man of this city, while in Savannah, got into street car with q heavy umbrella under his arm- Like great many other careless people, he held it at u dangerous angle, with the point stick ing out behind him, and ere long the car gave lurch and Il lady just behind him emitted an ear-splitting scream. Every body jumped and looked, and to his horror the young man Sound that the point of his umbrella had come in con tact with the nose of the young lady seated just behind him. Of course, he apologized, or tried, but 1t was like apologizing for murder over the body of the victim. for the lady's nose was bleeding and she was almost in con vulsions with pain.
 The car was stopped at the next cor ner, where there happened to be a drug store, and the young man, aided and nbetted by one or two elderly ladies, who at once took lively interest in the case. helped the young lady off and into the store end posted off after doctor. One was found and the unlucky nose was soon put in working order, and the owner, attended by the married ladies, was sent home in Q carriage.
 The young man took her address and hunted mp mutual acquaintance, with whom he called the next day to see how the nose was getting along. The nose did we'll, so did the young man, for by the time the nose was out of danger he had got in the habit of calling, so that it became natural for him to step around in the evening. So in the course of time they were married, and she IS the only lady in the United States whose eourtship begnn by a punch in, the nose from her future husband.

 One of the funniest things that have occurred in Joliet during the present year, says the Joliet (Ill.) Republican, was the mishap of gentleman who formerly lived on the west eide, but is now resident of the city, andwhose wife ran the store bill and looked after the household expenses. He WAS in the habit, by agreement with his grocer, of having his cigars and occasionally goods that were not exactly cigars charged up as potatoes. One evil day his wife took her pencil and began to reckon up the accounts. She finally found that the family had eaten over three car loads of potatoes in less than a year, and she just didn't believe that the account was correct. The smoker and the smokers grocer werc Lct3ccn the upper and tho Eether m:llstonc for several days, and it was doubtful who would be pulverized the finest, but finally an explanation was made that modified the wife, even if it didn't satisfy her as to the correctness of the grocer's charge for potatoes.

An American tourist is said to have recently sent his bicycle from London to Paris by r.iail at n cost of a few pence and received it in perfect order. That looks like yarn, but it is straight. The English parcels post now carries mail packages not over 20 pounds in weight, and not of higher value than sl0o. from any point in England to my place in France at what appears to be ri- diculously low tariff. The bicycle weighed just 20 pounds. The wheels and handle bars were removed from tho frame, and carefully wrapped in heavy paper, so as to make compact bundle, before the postage was paid, and when the wrarpings were removed at the tourists hotel in Paris the machine was in perfect condition.
