Some Tricks of Lightning.

1t is not always the first shock Of
electricity in lightning which does SC
much damage. The discharge acts by
induction upon all the conduct
ors in the vicinity, and sometimes
plays some very odd and curious
tricks.
Not long ago house was struck by
lightning. In the house was broad,
polished, but unvarnished, table, GOV
cred by piece of Turkish embroidery
containing metallic threads. The in
duction current leaped from one met
allie thread to another and burned into
the table the pattern of the embroidery,
shaded in browns.
There is a story told, for whose
truth we cannot vouch, that flash OF
lightning came into room, shocked
all the inmates, and when it was gone
left perfect silver-plated cat on the
sofa. The silver had been taken from
the handle of sword on the wall and
coated over the cat to the most minute
hair.

Light From the Human Body.

I have discovered the very inter-
esting fact that the human body emits
rays which acts on sensitive photo
graphic plate, writes Ottokar Hoffman,
in the Electric Age. There is dis
tinct difference in the property OF
these rays and that of light. They
pass through certain Opaque sub
stances, while to others they impart
their vibration, and these substances
in this condition then act on the pho
tographic plate. Before giving a
description of my experiments l will
mention that it seems that not oil per-
sons emit rays Of the same chemical
energy. Some persons whom l tried
produced strong while others only a
faint impression on the film and
others even none at all. But it may
be that, had I tried these same per-
sons the next day, tho result would
have been an entirely different one,
because l made the observation on
myself that at different times there
was much difference in the chemical
energy of the rays emitted by my fin
gers. What causes these differences
do not know, but these rays being
produced by the functions of our or
ganic system, it is not improbable
that these differences occur in con-
nection with the regularity and irreg-
ularity of these functions. However,
my experience in this direction is
too limited to justify the expression OF
a positive opinion.

First Statue of Jefferson Davis,

The first statue ever made of the
leader of the confederacy is now being
completed in New York. 1t is seven
and half feet high, and represents
Jefferson Davis standing in charac-
teristic attitude, dressed as he was
when captured by Michigan cavalry
in the mountains of Alabama. The
statue will be erected on the Davis lot
in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond,
Va, and will be dedicated in the early
autumn. The entire expense of the
statue will be borne by Mrs. Davis
and her daughter, Mrs. Hayes, OF
Colorado. At the same time the Win
ME Davis memorial statue, which is
the gift of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. will be dedicated, and it is
probable that the ceremony will be OF
public nature.

Origin of the Fan.

The use of the fan originated in CAL
no, and sprang from the following in
cident: A royal princess, very beau
tiful, was assisting at the feast of lam
terms, her face covered with mask,
as usual. The excessive heat COM
PEELED her to remove it, and in order
to guard her features from the COM
mon gaze, she moyedit quickly to and
fro in front of her face, thus simulta-
neously hiding her charms and cool
ing her brow. The idea was at once
adopted throughout the kingdom.
Catherine de Medici carried the first
fan from Italy ever seen in France,
and in the time of Louis XIV, the
fan, covered with jewels, was worth a
small fortune.

An Anti-Divorce Trust.

In Ann Arbor, Mich, an anti-di-

attempt of two people, one Of whom
had previously been divorced, to get
married. One minister after another
refused to perform the ceremony, and
it was learned that the Methodist,
Baptist, Congregational. Presbyterian,

where the applicant is the unoffending
party and has been granted divorce

Cleaning the Cutlery.

For cleaning cutlery use ashes
made from pine wood and sift through

wooden cloth and use CASTLE soap;
rinse in warm water and dry with soft

good; Take piece of leaf fat from

Suggestions For the Picknicker.

A meal served on tablecloth is
more attractive than one served on
crumpled newspapers; so take one
when you go on your outings. Itmay
be old and thin, but if it is clean no
one can find fault. Take paper nap
kins, enough wooden plates to go
around, knives, forks, spoons and
granite or tin cups.
Here is an excellent menu for a
picnic luncheon:
Fruit, Berries or Melons.
Cold Fried Chicken.
Cheese Waters. Watermelons.
| Chopped Ham Sandwiches. Sardine Sand
U.s. witches. Olives.
Lemonade. Fancy Cakes.
Make the SANDWICHES (of which
there should b5 liberal supply of
bread =. least twenty -four hours old,
~. of course not stale. They should
be wrapped in oiled paper and packed
in tin boxes. Always remove the
crusts. Make the ham filling as fol-
lows Chop a sufficient quantity of
cold boiled ham very fine. Mix with
it salad dressing and spread thinly
ex buttered slices of bread.
For the sardine filling remove the
bones and skin from some canned sar-
dimes and pick them to pieces with a
fork. Mix with them good quantity
of lemon juice and fill in the sand.
wiches,
If you take berries procure large,
clean ones and serve them with the
bulls on. Have a package of pow
dered sugar and give each guest lit
BE heap of it, in which to dip the ber-
ries.
The chicken should be fried the pre-
vious day. To carry it safely, wrap
first in plain white paper, then in large
table napkins, and pack in pasteboard
boxes.
For the lemonade take sweetened
lemon juice in bottles, and prepare it
as needed when the luncheon hour ar
rives. Watercress may be carried in
tin boxes and placed in water before
it is used to freshen it.-New York
