Made Trouble for Himself.

They met at the Woman's Republican

from the east; he was a home product.
The conversation Jagged between the
dances. Finally he ventured this:

She bristled like porcupine. II have
no use for harems of any kind" she
retorted; they're just perfectly hor-

ELECTRIC STORMS.

They Make Ones Hair Stand on End
Stones Crackle Under the Feet, Nun
7. C. Knowles in Ainslee's
perhaps the most peculiar of the
mountain phenomena are the so-called
electrical, storms. There is no precipi-
tation, no lightning, no thunder, and
usually no wind. Nothing to be heard
and nothing to be seen except the gath
ering clouds. But much may be felt.
Everything is charge with the electric
fluid; the earth, the air, the very stones
and trees and even human beings are
full of it.
"A mining engineer visiting tun-
mel located on mountain side at an
elevation of Ii, 200 feet, describes his
sensations during one Of these storms.
All alone be was climbing up the trail
to the tunnel, where he wished to ex-
anime vein of ore. Great black
clouds began to gather on the horizon,
and were soon rolling about the noun
tain side below him. A calm prevailed,
then an unnatural stiffness seemed to
be in the air. Steadily the clouds
rolled up the mountain side like a food
of black water. The stones, as he
stepped on them, began to craeBle and
snap, like dry wood in fire. Realizing
these unusual conditions, he hurried to
the sheltering tunnel above him. His
hair felt as IL swarm of flies had
settled in it. When he tried to brush
them away with his hand, he found
each hair standing almost straight.
The stroking of his hair increased the
peculiar sensations he experienced, and,
tingiing from head to foot, the now
thoroughly frightened man run into the
tunnel. No sooner had he PASSED the
entrance than the peculiar sensations
ceased. After resting awhile, he went
to the opening and discovered himself
entirely surrounded by clouds so black
and dense that he could scarcely see
five feet away, although the hour was
not far from noon. Stepping outside to
investigate, he received shock that
sent him Keeling back into the tunnel,
where he remained for over an hour
before the storm Passed.
''Such electrical storms seem to be
formed in strata. II human being
should make such connection as to
draw the charge from one of the layers,
he would instantly be incineratod.
'Phis accident, however, has never been
known to occur. Electrical storms
prevail throughout the mountain
region, but the severest storms Of this
nature are met only at the great aiti-
tudes.
With all the severity of electrical
storms, and thunder showers, it is a
fact that human beings are seldom
struck by lightning in the mountains.
Death from that cause is much more
frequent on the plains bordering the
ranges than in the mountains them.

And stars do light the heavens SO won

Living sweet tokens of His faith;
We wonder why,
Though just and true,
God gives his favor to so few,

And would we know when heaven Is lust.
We should not cover in the dust,
When night comes ON.
When night comes on and all grows dark.

With heavenly brightness disappear,

TWO STORIES BY JOE JEFFERSON,

Joe Jefferson was asked by Success
what he considered the most amusing
experience of his stage career, particu-
larry in connection with his famous
rip Van Winkle."
THE most amusing incident con-
nected with this play he said, was
the receipt OF letter from citizen in
small town where we had played the
night before. He said he had enjoyed
the performance very much, and would
not have missed it for anything in the
world. 1t might be unusual, he said,

tion that have ever suffered. AS you
sit looking over the veldt early of AN
afternoon, you suddenly see little
corkscrew -shaped column Of dust whirl-
ing in front of,you. 1t is so small that
you could put barrel over it when it
begins. wonder no one has ever
thought of doing 1t. But it whirls and

NURSERY COOKERY.
tHn SMALL cH1Lps SUMMER DIET,
BY Christine Terhune Herrick.
CONTINUED from last week.

The question of children's diet takes on
m added seriousness when the hot
weather is upon US. For II is great mis-
take to give the same food to children
when the Thermometer stands in the
nineties that should be supplied to them
when the mercury Is nearly down to a
single figure.
There are several reasons for this
change of diet. In the first place, the
system does not demand the same nutri-
ment in hot as in cold weather. At the
latter time 1t should be the endeavor of
the family caterer to give her charges
food that will raise the heat of the body
fats, starches and other heat and force
formers. In the summer there is no need
to increase the bodily warmth. The ami
NAL heat is in excess, and the effort
should be to avoid foods that will create
caloric. -'
Another reason for lighter diet in
summer Is that the warmth of the season
relaxes the system to degree that rem
ders digestion more difficult than in win
ter. The gastric powers share in the
lassitude ~ by the rest of the body. II
the stomach is overloaded or even piled
little too assiduously with articles that
demand hard labour in their assimilation,
the burdened digestion goes on strike, as
it were, and shows its disapproyal either
by sulky sluggishness or by active revolt
While the child's food should be
changed in quality and perhaps reduced
In quantity with the arrival of hot
weather, both alterations should be made
with Judgment. The strength must be
kept up at all hazards, and the study of
the housekeeper should be to find foods
that are at once light and nutritious.
With the very little baby the course is
comparatively clear. His milk diet
should have no liberties taken with it,
and all care should be observed to keep
1t in proper condition, Happy. under such
circumstances, is the nursing baby, and
happy, too, is the mother. She is spared
endless anxiety and care. Lacking the
natural food for the infant, dietarians
agree, that all things being considered,
fresh milk taken from healthy cow and
guarded from contamination by hostile
germs, is more wholesome for babies
than milk that has been submitted to
any process for its preservation, such as
boiling, Pasteurizing, sterilizing or other
modification. But in the city, especially
In summer, it is almost impossible to pro-
cure milk that is perfectly pure, and it is
necessary to give it a certain treatment.
Even when milk is to be sferilized or
Pasteurized,-the latter process is gen.
orally preferred nowadays,-no precau-
tion should be omitted to keep it pure. 1t
should be cooled as soon as possible after
milking and kept cool. If 1t is allowed to
become lukewarm even temporarily it
suffers by the experience. Until it is to
be made ready for the baby's use, 1t
should be kept in cold place and brought
to temperature of about 80 degrees
when it is fed to the child.
