Globe LIGHTNING.

On July 1, 1891, a freball entered
carpenters cabin near Sch1ieben..
The carpenter was sitting on the
edge of bed on which child was
sleeping. A ball of fire S prang sud-
denly and with loud noise from
the fireplace to the bed, which was
Immediately shattered. Then the
ball rolled very slowly to the oppo-
site wall of the room, through
which, or the floor, it apparently
vanished with another fearful crash
without setting fire to anything.
The mans wife and another child
were sleeping in second bed and
the baby in cradle, all in the same
room, but none Of the FIVE persons
was wounded or even stunned. All
complained of headache and deaf
ness on account of the heavy sui
phurous vapor which filled the
room, but they soon recovered.
Some fractures were discovered
about the stove and chimney.
Less fortunate were the children
in a schoolhouse in Bouin, France,
who we're visited by a frebau while
at their afternoon prayers. It was
preceded by a shower of lime, wood
and stones. The ball, which was
small, rolled along under the bench
es, killing three Of the children, and
went out through a window pane,
in which it merely made a round
hole, whereas all the other panes
were shattered.-M. Hagenau in

This Story Of the Lame Horse and tho
Young Doctor.
"One reads SO many stories about ami
NAL intelligence that it would be hazard
Gus for n doubter to express his disbe-
lief in almost any gathering of men at
the present day." remarked DR.. ". W.
Watkins. "a little instance came
within my own observation a number
of years ago when was studying med
icine and which convinced me that the
members of the horse family at least
ought to be credited with the possession
Of very considerable quantity of rea-
soning power. It was the custom for
the students at the medical institution
at which l pursued my studies to wear
a small badge upon their coats to dis
tinguish them from others at the col.
lege. A horse belonging to the estab-
lishment was used great deal about
the medical department., and the ami
NAL seemed to have special preference
Tor the embryo doctors more than for
any other people about the establish
ment.
"Ono day, while number of Us were
gathered in Il little knot upon a small
campus in the rear of the college, the
animal in question, which used to min
the grass in the location, came toward
the group limping very badly. He came
to stop dozen or more feet from the
crowd and. carefully surveying the lot
Of us, finally made up his mind as to
what he wanted to do and without any
hesitation limped directly to my side,
whinnied, stuck his nose against nv
body and held up his left foreleg. Look
Ing down, discovered large nail i'm
bedded in the frog of his hoof This
had evidently caused the lameness. /
then realized the interesting fact that
the animal desired attendance. lex
tracted the nail with some difficulty.
and the horse whimpered with relief
and walked away. Rather curious as to
why the beast had picked me out to at
tend to his wound, glanced at the
boys and found the solution to the prob
lem. Not one of the group had his med
ical badge upon his coat but myself.
The horse had recognized the insi gnia,
realized its significance and acted &C.

OLD TIME SWEETNESS GONE

Brown Sugar Can't Be Bought,

Molasses IA Now Made Into Rum and
Brown Sugar Can't Be Bought.
1.-The old fashioned molasses is rapid
~ disappearing as an article Of COM
merce.' said a prominent grocer, "and
IN its place have come q number Of
slrups which are more costly and BY
no means as satisfactory, especially to
the little ones, who delight, as we did
when we were young, in having 'lasses
on their bread. Most of the molasses
goes into the distilleries, where it is
made into rum, for which, notwith-
standing the efforts of our temperance
workers, the demand is constantly on
the increase. especially in the New
England states and for the export trade.
The regular drinker of rum will take no
other liquor in its place if he can help
1t. 1t seems to reach the spot more d.
rectly than any other dram.
1.-The darker brown sugars have also
disappeared, and they are net likely to
return, owing to the methods of boiling
and the manufacture. Graduated sugar
ls OF the same composition, as far as
saccharine qualities are concerned, as
loaf, cut loaf cube and crushed and
differs from them only in that it's crys-
tails do not cohere. This is because it is
constantly stirred during the process Of
capitalization. The lighter brown sug-
ars taste sweeter than the white, for
the reason that there is some molasses
in them. Housekeepers have difficulty
these days III finding coarse, dark sug-
ans, which are always preferred for use
in putting up sweet pickles, making
cakes and similar uses AS they cannot
get brown sugar any more, it may be
well for them to remember that they
can simulate brown sugar by adding a
teaspoonful Of molasses to each quarter
of a pound of the white granulated sug-
ar. This combination does as we'll in
all household recipes that call for
brown sugar as the article itself, and
besides it saves them great deal of
hunting for brown sugar, which, as
said before, has disappeared from the
market. ''-Eastport Sentinel.

SHOOTING FLYING FISH.
a Novel Sport Carried ON In. Southern
California Waters.

A Novel Sport Carried ON In. southe1.
California Waters.
The visitor to the island of Santa
Catalina or he who goes out on the
launches from Long Beach or San
Pedro is always entertained by the
remarkable flights of flying fish,
which in these waters attain
length of IS inches and weight of
2 pounds. Alarmed by the boat
or steamer, they dash out of the
water by a vigorous movement of
the screwlike tail and dash away in
headlong flight, skimming over the
waves like birds, presenting SO re-
markable an appearance that the
tourist who has never seen so ex-
traordinary performance takes
them for birds. The flying fish is not
fying,.but it has four very winglike
ms which serve it similar purpose
that is, it hurls itself out of the
water by the aid of it's tail, and
then, using the four winglike fms as
parachutes, goes soaring away, COW,
erlng distance of an eighth of a
mile. When the inertia fails, the
tail OF the fish drops, and the mo-
ment it strikes the water it begins a
violent twisting, which sends the
fish into the air again, and by re-
peating this the fish is enabled to
cover the long distance. The wings
or Tins are not tapped, the only mo-
ton being a tremulous one impartial
to them when the tail is twisted inl
the water. AS the boat glides alongI
these fish dart from the water andl
60 soaring away on either side, andI
1t is then that the sportsman, sitting
IN the bow, has an opportunity for
some novel sport.
The fish move like some quail.
very low, not more than two feet
from the surface, and are not the
easy shots one might imagine. They
move rapidly and appear to rise and
fall over the waves and go sweeping
away in graceful curves. Sometimes
four or five are in the air at the
same time, and the good shot can
bring them down to the right and
left. All that is needed to carry out
the idea of quail shooting would be
to have dog, but there is sea dog
that fushes this attractive game,
the agile tuna. The flying fish is
its legitimate prey, and big schools
come sweeping in from the deep sea,
driving the schools of flying fish be-
fore them, chasing them into the
air six, eight and ten feet, giving
marvellous exhibitions of lofty tum-
bling. At such times the flying
fishes are crazed with. terror and
leave the water by scores and hun
dreds. They fly into boats, out upon
the dry beaches, strike boatmen
who happen to be in the way Of
their headlong flight and present a
most attractive appearance to those
who have never SEEM flock of ocean
Tiers in the air with fish or z feet
long pursuing in series of leaps or
jumps. Sometimes the tuna chases
the f1ier along just below the sur
face, catching it as it drops, a cloud

HORSE VS.. WHEEL.
Jones Matched for a Race Against
Flying fb.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19-A1ta E. Jones,
the cyclist who made some sensational rides
during the indoor tournament in this city
recently, Is to be matched for a mile against
Flying Jib, the great PAGER. The race will
be held on the stock farm track at Pleasant
on on Saturday next, and has created IN
USUAL interest among che horsenlen. Jones has
been training carefully at Livermore during
the past fortnight and is in the best pos
sible condition. He has reduced his weight
eight pounds below that at which he rode in
the pavilion, and is endeavoring to get down
to $50 pounds stripped. His mentor, Richard
+. Aylward looks to Jones to make a remark
able record on the path this season. He
hopes to meet the cracks of the national cir
cult in the East late in the season at the
important meets, and with the ordinary for
tune in the matter of accidents, expects to
be able to make a creditable showing. He
is considered by many the fastest. sprinter in
the country. His best performance recently
was his victory in the quarter-n1ife race at
Mechanics pavilion. He reduced the world S
indoor record to 81 2-5 seconds, which, with
standing start is very close to the time
made on an outdoor track. In this race
Jones rode completely around Orlando Stew
ems, who is himself a crack quarter niler.
In his match with Flying Jib Jones will
probably be allowed tandem pacing, which is
customary in races Of this character.
