"As a rule" says the Lancet, light ming stroke is most common in open air, generally under the tree to which the victom has resorted for shelter, and this circumstance, even where only severe injury has been sustained, makes death more likely, as the meas ures for relieving shock and restoring vital energies cannot be put in prac' tice till too late. But this year the ma jority of fatalities from lightning nave occurred in dwelling houses. There IS no doubt that for this greater ire quency of thunder storms, as for the more prolonged drought and such like meteorological visitations of latter years, the steady tree felling, unbal- anced by tree planting, is directly re- sponsible." This account is fully borne out by the reports which have from week to week appeared in HElet- tricita, that journal regularly giving a certain amount of space to the sub feet.

Baked Better than Boiled

It is frequently asked why some hams taste so much better than others. This would not be the case if they were baked, and not boiled until all the sweetness was extracted, which is gen orally done in the majority of cases where they are found tasteleSs and dis colored. Of course a great deal de bends upon the quality of the ham, and none but the best sugar cured should be selected. Here is a good rule for their treatment:
 Make stiff paste of four and water, with which completely cover the ham. Then place it ill q bake pan containing a little water, with which it must be occasionally pasted. It will require about four or five hours to bake ham of medium size in q moderate oven. The cook must, of course, use her judg- ment by testing it occasionally with a fork. At the expiration of that time remove the ham, and the entire top can be peeled off like a sheet of leather leaving only the fat exposed, which must be wei! covered with bread crumbs. Return to the oven long enough to brown; then set aside until cool before using, as it is twice as easy to cut in tempting thin slices, besides lasting as long again. Always begir in the center and you will do well.
The St. Johns herald., 1896-11-28

The King of the Belgians is the vic tim of an inconvenience that recalls the famous story of the miller of Sans Souci and Frederick the Great. NJ. Vandendriessche, one of LeOpold's wealthy subjects, bought a plot of ground in front of the royal villa in the Avenue de Ia Refine, at 0stend, and built thereon an elegant residence, which much interfered with his MaJes- tvs view. The King caused his griey- ance to be put before NJ. Vanden- driessche, who at once pulled down the house, but caused monstrous hotel, twelve stories high, in the latest style of Chicago, to be erected on the site
