Thunderstorns.

Do not imagine that because heavy
thunderstorm is far away to leeward
it is not likely to arise and wet you.
Even if the wind is blowing right
against the cloud twill come your way
all the more surely, for thunderstorms
always travel against the wind
The reason for this is that there is
invariably a countercurrent of all
above the breeze that you feel close tc
the earth, and this sky high wind blows
in the opposite direction to the one
which alone you can detect. Thus the
tempest seems to work it's way right
through the winds eyes in very con-
trary sort Of way.
Fog never does this; neither does
ordinary rain-at least very seldom
but snow or sleet some time works its
way up wind just as the tempest does.
Sheet lightning, by the way, is not a
distinctive sort of light, but merely the
reflection in the sky of forked flash
many miles away. You can tell how
far away tempest is by counting the
number of seconds that pass between
the flash and the peal. Each second
stands for about q mile.-New York
Herald.

SEASHORE IS ALL SERENE.

After all the misgivings INDUCED in by
hotel proprietors and owners of seashore cot
tages, it looks as if the coming season at the
New England beaches would be in no way
different from any of its predecessors, unless
to be more successful than many of them.
The little "scare'' following the sugges-
ton that the Spanish fleet might pay flying
visit to our northern shores and contribute q
trifling midsummer excitement to some of the
popular resorts, died away almost before it
took we'll defined shape. 1t was like the gen.
eral trepidation that filed the public heart
about the time the war itself was declared,
and which has given way to feeling of calm
ness and almost Indifference.
Since it has become apparent to even the
most timid that the time when Spain could
have sent an armada against the New Eng
land coast long since went by, and that the
seat of war must now be confined to point
even south of Americas winter resorts, the
courage of those who like to enjoy their sum-
mer vacation by the seaside has wholly re-
turned. So pronounced has been the change
Of feeling that very few people, indeed, are
likely to remain away from the beaches this
summer because of any fear of the Spanish.
The hotel people, who were naturally very
much depressed at the outset, are now look
ing forward to an excellent season, and the
only enemy they have to fear now is unsea-
sonable weather. Most of the big houses
have booked their usual quota of guests at
this date, and the officials of the Boston &
Maine Railroads passenger and ticket de-
partment, who are the most infallible author
tiles on such questions, report that the out
look for an average season is very encourag-
ing.

1849, squad of Battery 1 of the regu.

Point fort, near San Francisco One
load-the charge was 80 pounds of pow.
der inclosed in wooden bag-did not
go off, and the officer in command or.
dered it to be pulled out of the cannon.
The charge was withdrawn, and as
1t dropped to the ground it was seen
that one corner of the wooden bag was
on fire. In an instant the powder would
have caught and the seven men with
their officer would have been killed.
Private John M. Jones jumped toward
the smoldering bag, rolled it in the
mud and with his bare hands plastered
the singed edges with damp earth.
1t was a quick, braye deed, and had
the hero been a British soldier it would
have brought him Victoria cross ia
wear on his breast.
During the sepoy war a young cap.

Gem OF the orient earth and open sea,
Manila, that in thy lap and on thy breast
Hath gathered beauties all the loveliest,
On which the sun smiles In his majesty,
and so on. The quatrain, with an unim.
portant emendation, is from Bawring.
1t sounds fine and rings false. Manila
used to be regarded as the most fortu-
nately situated city in the world. Just
why is problem. Set beneath torrid
sky, remote from the routes of COM
MERGE, it has squatted, unheeding and
practically unheeded, the capital of a
stretch of unfortunate isles. Visitors
have been infrequent. The earliest was
Magellan. The most recurrent has been
the typhoon. The most pertinacious has
been the earthquake.
Objects Of interest are few, Among
them Is the mestizo. Superstitious as
ballad, dangerous as serenade, she
floats human butterfly, along the scar
let lanes. Another feature is the eli
mate. Fancy a pastille burning in a
vapor bath. The atmosphere has the
SAVIOR Of cachous and the bite Of red pep
pers. Costume, in consequence, is brief
The mantilla of the mestizo is her hair.
Her raiment Is silk, very bright, very
loose. The male half caste wears trou-
sers and a shirt. The tails of the latter
are not always tucked in. On high days
he faunts them. The effect Is neat, not
gaudy. So much for local fashion. Ed
