Are you afraid of Lightning? Be
comforted; your greatest danger does
not lie in that direction. There is IN
average of only two hundred and FIVE
deaths from lightning over the whole
United States in year, while in New
York City alone fifteen hundred peo-
pie annually meet accidental deaths.
In the same city two hundred people
are drowned each year, while one
hun lred and fifty are burnt or scalded
to death, and five hundred more meet
deaths by falls of one hind or another,
SO that if statistics prove anything
there is fifty per cent. greater danger
of being kicked by a horse in New
York City than of being killed by
lighting. 1t is also interesting to learn
that statistics prove there are five
. times as many lightning fatalities in
the country as in the cities, probably
on account of the metal roofs and
well-grounded water systems to be
. found in the latter, which carry off the
!. discharge and act as lightning conduc-
/. tors. Another erroneous current be-
!; lief is that lightning strokes are nee
F.; essarily fatal, while statistics show
I that of two hundred and twelve per-
4 sons struck, only seventy-four result
ed fatally.

How Wrinkles are Made.

Laugh and grow wrinkled" -not a
pleasant reading of an old adage, is
it ? Nevertheless, it is logical one.
The wrinkles Of the nose, which de-
scend from the nostrils down each side
of the mouth, are created in laughing
and mastication; simple smile is suf-
fcient to produce them, SO it is not
surprising that the repetition of the
commonest acts should soon be craven
on the face. Going in the sun with
the face insufficiently covered pro-
duces wrinkles prematurely; but they
are in every case normal at forty, or
even earlier Vertical wrinkles be-
tween the eyes come quickly to men
who study or worry themselves. The

Honereombcd WIN peceptIons.

Practical joking was carried on by
all classes in the Middle Ages, the
well.to.do employing mechanical in
struments to assist them in their
pastime. The Chateau d'Hesdin, the
iavorite residence of Philip of Bur
gundy, was honeycombed with decep-
tions OF all kinds. Some of the
machinery he worked with his own
hands, but the rest was worked by
guest stepping on hidden spring or
touching certain panel in the wall.
For instance, stranger, on reaching
the middle of the room, would be in
stantly covered with SCOT or flour, the
result of trap-door overhead having
opened In one room there was fixed
beside the door the mechanical figure
of knight armed with short stick.
This figure, so placed, seized all in
truders and gave them sound thrash
ing. 1t is related that once Philip was
himself caught by it, and that before
he could free himself he received a
severe beating In the great gallery
there was fixed to the wall figure
known as the "Prophesying Hermit, +"
and at the feet Of this figure ,ere was
trap-door. While the fortune-te telling
was going on, part of the ceiling
opened, and flour and water poured
down, appropriate thunder and light.
ming following in quick succession.
The trap in the floor then opened, and
the guest fell into sack of feathers.
But the most elaborate trick of all was
that In which all the guests were
duped. Adjoining the great gallery
there was large room filled with
armed figures. While the guests we're
dining, cries would be heard proceed
ing from this room, and the company
would naturally rush upstairs to as
certain the cause. The mechanical
figures in armor then moved from their
places, and drove the victims OF the
joke out of the room into a passage,
the floor of which opened, and they
were precipitated into cellar three
feet deep with water. Philip seldom
received a second visit at Hesdin from

A Coast Down Hill.

We have not circumvented the
mountains by coming round them.
There they stand, rising from our inn,
the summit of the pass four thousand
feet toward heaven and ak or seven
terrestrial miles away. But no man
faltered. At the foot of the pass we
had vision of angels who should bear
us up toward heaven, say two-score
pullers of jnrikisia;. all eager for a
job. One glance was enough. The
bargain was soon made, two coolies
hitched tandem to each wheel, and the
long line was off at once. Feet of
pedals at our ease, for our long coast
uphill. And the human steeds kicked
up their heels IN JOY, two men TO each
vehicle and never before wagons of
such fairy weight. Cheap labor makes
life easy for the man who rides. AT
the top we had a magnificent view of
land and sea, garden farms and toy
like villages But the wheelman can
not stop long Waiting is not his
virtue. The coolies are paid; we ex-
anime brakes and find them all right.
So feet on coasters, brake well in hand,
and away For miles and miles we
coast down the curving mountain side.
It is holiday, aud the peasants are
resting from their labors. They see
us far above, ard line their village
streets all dressed in their best, silent,
respectful, hesitant, as the strange
procession of visitants from the clouds
glides past. Down we go for miles,
and then one brief stretch of land
brings us to our incoming place. Our
welcome over, we are lead to suit of
clean, white-matted rooms in the
second story, overlooking the tiny
garden full Of quaint shrubs and trees.
Barefooted, delft handed maidens bring
lacquer trays with dainty dishes full of
soup, rice, fish, and eggs, with chop
sticks, best of implements for such
fare, and bountiful supply of fragrant
straw -colored tea. So we rest an hour
content, at the foot Of Full San, before
the wheels go on again.
