BABY SAVED BY LIGHTNING.

to Spring Upon the Child.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Lightning and blackberries come together
in the coast region of Texas The people
there, as a rule, are more partial to the
latter than the former. One exception to
the rule exists there today, however, in
Mrs. Pennington of Plum Greek, who says
that one timely stroke of the lightning has
done her more good than all the black
berries in creation could possibly accom-
plsh. Just behind the Pennington home is
a small clearing in which the blackberr.es
grow large and sweet and in abundance
One day Mrs. Pennington went there to
pick some berries for supper. and took her
little baby girl with her. The baby grew
tired in little while. and the mother ar
ranged bed of dry leaves for it under
sheltering sumach bush. In a few minutes
the child was asleep and the mother re-
sumed her berry picking. 1t was an cp-
pressively hot day, when the air was full
of electricity and not breath of wind
stirring anywhere. A squall was coming
up rapidly from the east. the lightning was
showing dimly on its upper edge. but Mrs.
Pennington was apparently obliviouS Of the
approach of the storm, glad only that the
baby slept so well and gave ner so little
trouble. But 1t was not the storm alone
that threatened danger. At the very edge
of the thicket. and only few feet from
the sleeping baby. Its eyes cleaning, its
head laid fiat on the ground. and its tail
flashing Its tawny sides. huge Mexican
lion was crouching ready to spriag. For
moment it dug its hind paws nervously into
the ground, and then it ]eaped into the
air. 1t fell dead only a few inches from
the sleeping baby just as a loud peal OF
thunder caused Mrs. Pennington to look
around for the safety of the child. The
baby awoke, looked up and smiled.

A FIELD OBSERVATORY.
One I'm Use in the German Army
Better Than Captive Balloons.

One in Use in the German Army
Better Than Captive Balloons.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The military authorities of Germany are
concealing their operations with the great
est care, and without the indiscretion of
one or the other of the intimate friends of
some of the officers nothing would ever
be heard Of what Is going on in the inner
circles. Thus it was possible quite recently
for the German army to surprise the world
with the fact Of its adding within two
years past more than 1000 rapid-firing
field guns. none of the other countries hav-
ing the slightest idea Of the contemplated
move until it was fully effected. Now the
Revista Artilerei, a military paper pub
lished in Bucharest, Roumania, is inform
ed that the German army adopted eighteen
months ago a very ingenious system of
field observatory, intended to replace the
captive balloons when the latter are not
convenient. This field observatory is a
comparatively simple apparatus. 1t re-
sembles very much the folding ladders
used by the fire departments and consists
OF long ladder in three sections, with a
platform conveniently erected at the top.
The ladder is light, takes but little space,
is easy TO handle, and In short is thorough
~ practlcaI While two army balloons are
provided for each German army corps, each
regiment Of infantry will have its field OBJ
servatory. At the present time, when in
formation as to the surrounding country
Is wanted, and captive balloons are not
within call. men are detailed to climb a
nigh tree or to some other favorable point
OF vantage, which at any rate is a slow
ana unreliable method. In the new OBJ
servatory an officer steps up on the plat
form and is then slowly raised until the
Iull extension has been attained. 1t is evil
cent that this simple continuance can be
OF great utility in active service.

So Thus aided by samples of fabrics sent

endeavor to give satisfactory answers to
the ever important feminine question

The fancy for simplicity which asserted
itself SO plainly toward the end of the

bright color combinations with which the
Spring had set in. continues for street and
day costumes for the fall and winter al
though for evening wear gayety and gilt

considered incomplete without a black
dress, and plain, smootn-surfaced goods,
such as zibelene. moscovietta and drap

rich trimming finish, and not imparing
their simple elegance, silvery borders on
some goods. and silver sheen over the
face of others. are used with happy effect.

a wide strip being at one end for the trim

Helen W. Moody in Scribner's
Hundreds of college-bred women have
been, and are, capably and efficiently en-
gagged in teaching, and few have gained
a certain distinction as presidents and pro-
fessors in colleges for women, but no great
and original educator has come from among
them Occasionally a determined young
graduate gets a foothold in a newspaper
office, and usually keeps it with credit to
herself and her higher education, yet the
few women editors of eminence have not
been college-bred, and there is nothing to
be gained by concealing the fact that the
college women who have undertaken Jour
nalism seem, as yet, to have had no in
huence in sweetening the flood of seasa-
uonal and nasty print for which the l.ews-
paper women of the country must bear
their share of discredit with the news
