Trees end Thundersterms.

It is useful to know what kind of trees are most likely to be struck by lightning. because trees afford shelter in thunderstorms. though a dangerous refuge. and they often grow near buildings. According to Mir. Alexander McAdie, the eminent American meteor ologist, the order of liability to De struck is represented by the following figures: Oak, 54: trees collectively. that is, in a ciump. 40; tall pine tres, IS, and beech, 1. The oak is. therefore, the worst, and the beech the best shell ter. After rain trees are not so apt to split with the stroke as before it.

Gray Exed Women.

Gray eyes belong to all heroines in up-to-date fiction and all heroines of modern short stories and novels are made to suit the prevailing taste. Moreover, the gray-eyed maid seems to have been the ideal of many novel ists, among them Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot. Wilkie Collins and Charles Reade. Emerson has de- scribed gray eyes as wells that man might fall into" and nearly all the English poets, including Shakespeare, have had orbs of this color.

Diver with & Record.

The greatest diving feat ever achieved was in moving the cargo of the ship Cape Horn, wrecked of the coast of South America, when a diver named Hooper made seven descents to depth of over 200 feet. remaining at one time forty-two minutes under the water. An authority states that the greatest depth to which man has been known to descend does not exceed 220 feet, which is equivalent to pres sure of eighty-eight and one-half pounds to the square inch.

Electrical Evolution.

Being asked if he believed that the end of electrical evolution had been nearly reached. Thomas A. Edison said: There is no end to anything. Man is so finite that he can not possi- bly, learn one-millionth part of what is to be known. He might put in fifty years on the study of water alone, and beyond learning the component parts of it he would know nothing. Only the ignorant say we are near the limit in invention.

First Maker of spsctaOles.

The invention of spectacles is often attributed to Roger Bacon, who died in 1294 Further research, however. has shown that in 1285 Savrino Degli Armati, a Florentine, worked glass into the form of a lens as a help to vision. For him, therefore, may justly be claimed the honor of having in vented spectacles. He died in Flor ence in 1917 and was buried in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore.

 These figures were taken from the reports of Hon. Clay Sloan, Auditor and Insurance Commissioner of Ar kansas, for the years 1896, 1897 and 1898, as to all matters except ex- penses and taxes. The expenses ard taxes were computed upon a basis of 40 per cent, being about the average for the United States for the year 1897.
 From all of these figures it may be easily seen that premium rates in Arkansas could not be reduced more than an average of 8 per cent before the companies would suffer an actual loss On their business. There weIe, ir all, 63 companies do- ing business in Arkansas, repre- senting an aggregate capital of oyer one hundred million dollars.
 We eau see nothing wrong with the insurance companies, but are satisfied that rates can only be re duced by improving fire conditions generally. h our cities we must have an alarm service, im- provements in the water facilities and fire departments and, also, last but not least, salvage corps aud a fire marshal. There should also be paid some attention to architectural construction by our city authorities and the valued policy law should be repeated.
 If these improvements were adopt ed our citizens. ~e believe, would save on insurance rates enough money in two years to fully pay for them
 Let us seriously address ourselves toward remedy:ng these defects ana quit cursing the insurance compa- nies.
 We think our Commercial, League should take this matter in hand aud push it to success. We promise our heartiest cooperation.

Surely the drawing teacher can have an
incompatible influence on the aesthetic
spirit of the country, far greater than

be fought largely with the weapons which

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. e. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl;
DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that ! add my testimony to
yodr list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. / had leucorrhma badly, and
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until / could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
" took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. | was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when L read your advertisement in a
paper. i sent at once for a bottleSof
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-tbirds of
the bottle felt so much better that L
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady 1 meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinlham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn Mass

appointed by the National Encamp-
ment of the Union Veterans Legion to
pass on the merits of the pension meas
ure known as the per diem bill' has
completed its report and forwarded it
to Adjutant General Hay. The COM
mittee reaches the conclusion, after an
extended and exhaustive examination
of the bill, that an annual saving to
the government of $31 100000 can be
accomplished under its operation, and
an additional saving of over $4,000, OO0
in the event examining boards are
abolished. The bin Is not framed so
that the Union Veterans Legion alone
will enjoy its benefits but every Union
soldier can come under its provisions.

Since the new humor," says The
Academy shows tendency to revert to
what Mr.. Andrew Lang calls the "old
driyel, it Is satisfactory to noto that the
printer, whom an American writer has
justly described as the greatest hunorist
of the age, continues to maintain his repu-
tation
In an article in London paper the ao-
tion of "Ihe Three Musketeers" was de-
sciihed as fight between "flends and
demigods. Tho printer, with his Gus
tomury felicity, changed "fends" into
friends OF course it may be objected
that this particular joke Is not new. There
is an old storyas toa death announcement
In The Times being followed by the limo,
"Fiends will please accept of this intima.

baronet was stated in fashionable col
umn TO have gone shooting yesterday

FATAL HOTEL FIRE.


Three Deal and Five Badly Injured
In q I'lotsburg Connagration.
pittsburg, Jan. "a fire broke out iu
the Hotel Richelleu at 8:15 yesterday
morning and resulted in a property
loss of only about $4,000 but three
lives were sacrificed and five people
badly hurt. The dead are; Amos s.
Lands, Grapeville, Pa; George A. Wal
ters. Camden. N. j.: Mrs Katherine
Boyle Pttsburg. The three victims
were guests of the hotel and all were
suffocated by the dense smoke.
The injured are: DR.. Robert Blacks
ley Of Plymouth, Pa. fracture Of verte-
brae, caused by falling from third floor
window will probably die; Henry
Painter, Grapeville, Pa, small blood
vessels of lungs ruptured by inhaling
smoke, may recover; John l.. Mills,
proprietor of the hotel, face and body
badly burned; Miss Mills. his daughter,
cut by glass while breaking through
window to escape William Garretson.
Cleartleld, Pa. delegate to miners ma
tional convention, painfully burned
about the back and hips.
The fire originated on the second floor
from an explosion of gas. and within
a few moments the building was
mass of flames and binding smoke.
The noise of the explosion awakened
most Of the guests about 20 in number,
and a frantic fight for life ensued.
Robert N. Thompson, of Kalaska,
Mich, was the means of saving at least
six lives In the first moments after
the explosion he rushed into the hall
way Of the second floor and stumbled
over the unconscious form of a woman.
whom he dragged into the reception
room Five others, three men and two
women, who had been turned back
from the stairway by the flames, were
shrieking and fighting for some exit.
Thompson forced them all into the big
room and locked the door. Knowing
that it meant death to go into the hall
he fought the desperate men back until
the arrival of the firemen, when all
were rescued.
