AN ELECTRIC PRANK.
lightning Cuts Up High links on n
Mountain Side in North
Carolina.

A climb to the top Of "Big Craggy,"
along the banks of the Big Tree creek,
affords many bits of picturesque seen
cry, as we'll as a view of SURPRISING
grandeur from the summit. A party of
gentlemen from AshevilIe, who recently
visited this majestic old mountain, that
rears its head more than 5000 feet
above sea level, report an unusual man
Hesitation Of the pranks of electricity,
says the AshevilIe On. c. Citizen.
Along the top of the ridge for dis
lance of perhaps rs or so yards there
was a deep furrow, as if made by a
large plow. As the current passed along
large pieces of turf were thrown aside,
tough rhododendron bushes were torn
up by the roots and hurled to one side,
while huge powders that lay in the
pathway were split in twain and in some
instances shivered to atoms.
After the current had passed along
the surface of the mountain, or top
most ridges, for so or 60 yards, it APP
pears to have divided, one fork going
down the mountain side and the other
continuing on the ridge for some Is or
20 feet, and then disappearing entirely.
The strange feature of this electrical
phenomenon is that the charge did not
at once disappear by taking a down
ward direction into the earth instead OF
remaining for so great a distance on
the surface.

WOMEN OF THE NAVY.
Officers Wives and Families Feel
the Suspense Most KeenIy-Wait-
Ing and Hoping.

The women who have experienced the
most mental sufferings and strain re-
sulting from the COMPLICATIONS in Cuba
are the wives and families of the officers
of the navy. Few of the enlisted men
are married and most of them are with
out home ties, but the contrary is true
of the officers.
'"This is a sad time for u.s." said the
wife of q famous naval officer few
days ago. Cali we can do is to wait and
hope. None of the women of the navy
wants war. It's opportunities for pro-
motion and the winning of glory do not
compensate for the terrible suspense
and anxiety which we have to endure.
Three of my family are in the navy,
and my earnest desire is to hear news
Of peace, although I am trying to be
prepared for whatever happens"
While her husband is looking for or
ders from Washington she and her chill
dren await the issue of events in the
little New Jersey town which is their
present home. This is the attitude of
all the women whose fathers, brothers,
husbands or lovers are in the navy.
Their interest in the chances of war is
more keen and personal than that of
any other class of people, for war with
Spain means naval action. Those who
are with the southern squadron are in
especial danger. Ever since the blow
ing up of the Maine and the subsequent
mobilizing of the fleet in southern
waters the crying of every war extra"
on the street, the receipt of every letter
and telegram and the circulation of
each new rumor of conflict have caused
quickened tension in officers families.
The suspense which the whole nation
has found it hard to endure has been
most cruel for them.

EDUCATING A GREYHOUND.
In His Training He Must Walk from
Twelve to Fifteen Miles
Every Day.

The right way to bring greyhound
into condition is to walk him steadily
every day from IL to Is miles. He must
not be allowed to potter along the road
in his own sweet way, but should be led
by the trainer. The reason is that con-
tinual exercise is thus given, and this
without firing the dog. When he comes
in from his walk the greyhound is
brushed and groomed. When the grey
hound is at exercise he wears thick
Sheet" this is exchanged for one of
thinner quality when he is at home,
says an exchange.
The walking exercise alone is not suf-
ficient, however. Every other day the
greyhound is galloped and this is done
in the following manner: A kennel
man holds the dogs. The trainer walks
away for nearly half mile. At given
signal the kennel man releases one of
the dogs, who naturally gallops toward
the trainer. When the dog has got
away about 20 yards another dog is re
leased, and so the process goes Oh until
all the dogs are running toward the
trainer at a distance of about 20 yards
from each other. If the dogs were al
lowed to run together they would either
play or fight with each other, and the
leading dog must be very good one at
galloping or the gallop will be spoilt.

LAZY DAYS IN THE CANTEENS.
4 Place Where Orderl Are Taken
LetsureIy and Filled at the
Waiter'K Option.

Canteens are the creation of the gov
ernment4 by law, for the benefit Of the
troops at post, says tbs Kansas City
Star. They form sort of club for the
privates and "non-coms," where they
may get a meal, cigar, and what sa-
loon il town affords, The profits 60 to.
the benefit Of the mess, to exc out the
table with food not supplied ID the gov
erpment rations For men grow weary
of government rations, and to be able
to order a meal of ham and eggs or
steak, or get a cheese sandwich or a
hroiled ham sandwich with restaurant
coffee becomes quite a luxury.
With the arrival of 5000 volunteers
the Jefferson barracks canteen swirled
with business 1t was q downright lux
ury for the volunteers who were I'M
used to eating government rations, as
well as a windfall for the Third cavalry,
which operated it. The Third had been
stationed at the barracks, but IS now at
the front, There was this difference,
however, that the hungry customer
who pushed into the restaurant crying:
''Get me steak quickl" would find the
waiter oblivious to his presence for a
space of several minutes.
Cant have a steak?"
The waiter would not turn from his
conversation with a soldier about how
the Third Jared at Chickamauga.
''Say, won't you take my orderP"
Then, wiping his hands on his apron,
disclosing cavalry trousers, the walter
would reply:
you can have ham and eggs If you
are good"
IL the barroom it was the same thing.
The customers who shouted loudly for
beer would have to wait. If they bent
on the counter, the bartender would
say:
Here, mister, If you do that again,
you won't get any beer"
Wise were those who came to the can
teen with fitting humility, for they
were served promptly.

SWILE HUNTING.
The sickenins Sight Presented by the
Slaughter OF the Young New
ROundIand Seals.

In Newfoundland a seal is, in COM
mon speech, ''swile," and great is the
daughter when, on the 18th of March,
ell the world goes out to kill the poor
little brown-eyed creature. Then be-
gins q carnival of cruelty and blood
shed, too sickening to be considered
unless one can somehow effect re-
form, says the Youths Companion.
The destruction Of the baby seals be-
gins without prelude, while their mis-
cradle mothers stand moaning by; and
the whimpering of the babies yet to be
slaughtered sounds strangely and
awfully like that of the human young.
But the effect on the seal hunters is
evidently not that of hardening their
hearts. AS a famous writer says:
Cruel sports do not make a cruel peo-
pie" and apparently cruel occupations
do not, for to his own kind the seal
hunter is full Of gentleness and human
ity. But on one man, at least, this
carnage had an effect which it should
reasonably have upon them all.
The author of 'The Tenth Island"
says that this man told how he awoke
one night, and found himself standing
over the bed of his crying child with
sealing gait in his hand.
$50 help me God," he said, Il didn't
sleep an honest sleep for many nights
after that! I never heard the kid cry
without thinkin' first Off O. the whim-
per O them swiles, an how near I'd
come to KILN my own flesh an blood.
I tried to laugh IL off, but twas no use;
an SO when the swiler came to start,
I give my place to another man. 1
knew after that [ was no good for
swilin' any more. Faith, the gait would
ha' fallen out O my hands!"

Formation of Gold Nuggets.

Concerning the theory that gold mug
gets are formed by the depositing Of
the gold around nucleus from solu-
ton, Prof. A. Liversidge, the gold ex-
pert of New South Wales, Australia,
has made Investigations which he
thinks disprove it. By slicing the mug
get and examining the cross sections
obtained he found no traces of con-
centric coatings, but that the gold was
always more or less crystallized, the
crystals being in some cases very large
and with well-defned boundaries.
Some Of the nuggets also showed cavi-
ties and Enclosures of quartz, although
in many cases none were visible on the
rolled surface of the nugget.
