1t is said that lightning may be rec
ognized at a distance of 200 miles when
the clouds among which it plays are at
a high altitude. but that thunder can
seldom be heard at a greater distance
than ten miles. The sound of thunder
is also subject to refraction by layers
of different density in the atmosphere,
as well as to the effects of ''sound
shadows" produced by hills and other
interposcd objects. These are among
the reasons for the existence of the
so-called sheet" or summer light
ming, which seems to be unattended

LIVE STOCK.
A Noted Lady Lecturer Once Travelled
~ sqch to Keep an En-
eager ent.

The persistent man or woman some
times has a reward, by the way, in
the unusual experiences which many
of us do not go forth to seek. For
example. Mrs. Mary a. Livermore once
travelled as live stock. and all because
she was resolved to keep an engage
ment less determined woman
would have broken her promise and
missed the fun.
One night she engaged the proprie
tor of the best stable in large town
to take her to the five O'Clock train
for Cincinnati, where she was to speak.
1t was the only train that Sunday, and
Cincinnati was so miles away.
"Give yourself no anxiety, madam"
said the stable keeper. eff l am alive
tomorrow morning, l shall call for
you promptly"
He did not call. Whether he was
dead or not the record does not state.
Mrs. Livermore was very much alive.
She arranged to ride in the cab of
special engine, which spun merrily
along for "a miles. when it was blocked
by deraled freight cars; but the time
table told her that fast cattle train
would leave the next station in seven
minutes. She climbed into a two-horse
beer wagon filed with empty kegs
which threatened to roll on her feet,
and with the engineer for driver,
reached the station just as the con-
ductor was giving the signal to start.
81 can't take you, madam said he,
showing her his printed instructions.
"You will have to wait for the next
train"
The rules forbade him to carry any
freight but live stock, or any pas
sengers besides the drivers of those
animals.
"If I am not live stock" asked the
woman, will you please tell me what
am?"
The conductor reflected moment,
then weighed and billed her as regu-
lar live stock freight, and at Cincin-
natl, when she paid the charges, he
gave her the usual live stock receipt

THE VICE OF ECONOMY.
Ovsrdone In Fixing Over
Old Gowns.

Economy is the most extravagant of
vices when it comes to the matter of
fixing over" old gowns. They hang in
the wardrobe and lure us on to ruin and
the bargain counter to get the neces-
sary wherewithal to remodel them; it
will take such little bit of money, and
the fashion magazines are full of delu-
sive cuts labeled: Scheme for doing
over last seasons gowns" We look at
the cuts, and we are theirs.
These sartorial snares ought to be la
beled: "Veni, vidi, vici.' They come,
see and conquer every woman with the
least taint of economy in her blood.
If you really can't withstand the
temptation of making over your last
seasons gown, exercise Spartan self
control, make up your mind exactly
how much you are going to spend on it
and don't exceed the amount by one
penny.
All the so-called aids to the econom-
ical girl-that advise covering up the
slightly soiled silk skirt Of last season
with DlllO"S VI IuCS-SllOuiu Dc tISdtcu
as just so much airy persifage, because,
forsooth, if one can afford billows of
lace one can afford new silk skirt and
start fresh deal all around
An old dress is an old dress any way
you look at it-and worse, any way your
friends look at it-for they, too, have
had their turn at the economical "hold-
up" and the trail of the economist is
over them all.
Therefore, put not your faith in the
billows-of-lace cure, or the overdress-
of-Brussels-net cure, or any other sort
Of cure that will require more cash
than the original garment is worth.
Such little sartorial bracers as new
neck ruf1es, new sleeve pieces and diff
ferent arrangement OF waist trimming
are often advisable, but do not indulge
in the pleasing fallacy that you can get
dressmaker in by the day, set her at
an old dress and then have Doucet-like
effects to make your friends envious.
There is clever woman here in New
York who keeps all her old dresses to
rip up when things 60 wrong. She
never carries the madness further than
the ripping-up stage, and her friends
wonder what is The secret Of her amia-
bility.-N. Y. World.

When 81 900 Looked Big.

Divide anything up into pairs and
you magnify IL. A certain wise man
took this way to give his wife an idea
of how much 81 1000 is. She had no
idea of money. Her purchases were
enormous. 1t happened one day that
her eye fell upon magnificent ring,
and she coveted it. 1t cost 81, 900. But
what was 1000 to her in comparison
with the ring? OF course her husband
consented to the purchase. What else
could dutiful, affectionate husband
do? But he tried this method of educat-
ing his wife concerning the great price
of the ring. He instructed his banker
to send her the 81 ZOO in small pieces
pennies, dimes, quarters. In came tho
money, bagful after bagful. She never
had such an idea of $1,000 before.
When the money was piled before her,
it alarmed her. The price of the ring
went up hundredfold, and was con-
sidered at once an extravaganza which
she of her own option abandoned. -

Mulberry Sellers.

One day while Mark Twain and
Charles Dudley Warner were walking
together they happened to begin dis
cussion of the modern novel, and one or
the other suggested that it might be a
good plan to burlesque it. Later while
journeying together to Boston this sug-
gestion took definite shape, and on their
return the work was begun, one author
writing chapter, the other taking up
the threads of the story the next day.
and both critically examining the result
each evening and asking the opinions of
their wives as to the success of each
stage of the undertaking. Finally they
collected all the manuscript, of which
there was too great quantity, and
jointly condensed it. 1t was owing to a
suggestion by Mr.. Warner that the
chief character in the tale was called
Colonel Eschol Sellers, and it is fact
that the man whose name was taken-a
man supposed to be long dead-made a
fiery demand for satisfaction, visiting
Hartford for that purpose. In later edi-
tions of the story the name "Eschol"
was changed to Mulberry. Ladies'

women's Sense of Color.

The differences between men and
women are we'll marked in many ways,
but it may not be generally known how
great this difference is in the matter Of
color appreciation, not to speak of color
blindness. A large percentage of men
are impervious to the sensation of color !;
they neither notice nor appreciate it.
Women, on the contrary, like many
animals, are strongly attracted and re-
PEELED by color, which to the average
male mind remains mystery. The or
binary man is quite satisfied if his help
mate dresses in black or in the proven
bially agreeable white muslin. Why she
should seek for harmonies and novelties
of color, why she should arrange and
match and discuss various hues with
the seriousness he would give to bust
ness matter, passes his understanding.
And just as color leaves a man cold,
so does form woman, which accounts
for her indifference to statuary and her
frequent incapacity for drawing. Louisa,
marchioness of Waterford, was an in
stance of this. Her coloring was superb
and the envy of artists, her drawing de-
fective and poor, and when she tried
late in life to learn to draw she only
succeeded in spelling her fine instinct
for color.-London Graphic.
