Lightning, they say, seldom strikes
twice in the same spot, Be that as it
may it is certain that it could not pos
slbly be more erratic than the various
plans for escaping it. H Leaving the
scientist and the lightning-rod man
any two people agree upon what is
best to be done when the storm comes
up. One will tell you that the first
thing to do is to close all the doors
and windows. A draft through the
house, they say, is the very thing
lightning wants to wreak destruction.
They point out that many of those
killed were seated by an open window
when struck. Others while agreeing
with this theory regard it as but par.
tlal precaution, saying that the fluid
will enter the chimney anS come out
at the fireplace, They also point to re-
corded cases where people were
shocked before an open fireplace. So
what boots it to close the windows if
you cannot close the chimney? Con-
trawise others will assert that the
only really safe plan is to open all the
doors and windows SO that if the
lightning enters it will not have to
tear chunk out Of the side of the
mousse to get out. A third class advise
you to close the front windows and
open the back ones. Nothing, they
say, attracts lightning like heated air.
You should not have a draft, but you
should not have the house full of hot
air. DO not stay out in the open, say
some. Sit out on the porch, say others.
DO not have any metallic object in
your hands, is another warning and
some leave their steel rod umbrellas
at nome in consequence. The attic and
the cellar have, an equal number of
adherents as place of safety. In the
attic there will not be so much of the
house to fall on you In the cellar vol,
stand chance of escaping under Tie
debris, say the others. Bed is the
safest place say a great many. Then
someone recalls the woman who was
lifted clear out on the floor by a bolt
and once more uncertainty reigns.
Many women spend the summer in
terror of thunderstorm. They hunt
the darkest corner of the house or thew
draw the window shades and light the
gas and stuff their fingers in their
ears, but they are in mortal terror all
the same. One Ohio woman, who was
shocked once, has devised a lightning
chair to which she fees when the thun-

Queer Burial Place of sultans.

A more eccentric mode of burial
than that adopted by the Turks for
their honored dead could hardly be

In Gonstantinople is the interior Of the

of the IVaHde's Mosque at Stamboul.
In the outer chamber are about three

-ss4 over the total of 1891. The gain of
ABOUT ten per cent in ten years seems
TO many Canadians a meager result of
a decade of prosperity, and Of energetic
efforts to promote immigration. But it
is the rule nowadays mat city popu-
latlons grow faster than rural, and
Canada has few cities. Only eighteen
places IN the Dominion have more
than ten thousand inhabitants. But
there remains the consolation that not
all the elements of national greatness
are measured by count of heads.

THE HEAVENS ARE FALLING"

TIE HEAVENS ARE FALLING"
Ruth was the happiest, rosiest, cum
nlngest little girl in the world, and
she had dear papa and mamma and a
nice yard to play in, and she Just loved
everybody and everything and had
regular story book time all her life,
gust because she was SO happy. One
day It was SO not she couldn't even
enjoy her nice play ground which was
arranged for her special amusement.
Here were roses and violets and lady
shippers and Johnny-jump-ups and
FERNS, and a great swing that carried
you most to the tops of the trees, and
hammock, and a fountain, and sand
pile with cart and bucket and shovel.
Ruth tried the sand pile, but it was too
hot, and the gravel walk was dumpy-
but it was too hot. Ruth looked almost
unhappy, as near it as she could, then
she looked up at a dainty pink rose
swinging from it's long stem, and while
hardly thinking, said: II wish I was a
pretty soft rose, all pink and dewy,'
and DO you know, this just happened
to be the longest summer day, when
the things that you wish come true, if
you only say them out loud. Most be-
fore the words were out of her mouth
Ruth found her little slippered feet
growing together and turning green
and getting covered with prickles just
like rose stems, then her hands and
arms made more branches, and moth
ing was left but her face and her pet
tlcoats, way up in a rose bush dancing
with the other blossoms, the sweetest
rose of all; and Ruth. she couldn't re-
member when she had been so happy
All of sudden there was great buzz
and bump, and horrible great big bee
came and sat right down on Ruth's
cheek. She tried to scream, but she
hadn't any voice, and she hadn't any
hands; what should she do? Just then
Ruth's mamma came down the garden
walk, with her rose shears in her hand,
and made straight for Ruth, and what
do you think Ruths mamma did?
After looking over all the other roses
she put her shears on Ruth and said:
Il will cut this for James. 1t is the
very prettiest of ALL" and then she cut
Ruth off just where her ankles were
only it did not hurt one bit. James
was Ruth's papa, and mamma always
had rose at his place for him. Ruth
could think of nothing lovelier than to
be her papa's rose, and when she
thought how astounded papa would be
to find his Ruth in his napkin she
laughed right out loud. That's my
dear little girl" her mother smiled at
her. bending her sweet face down to
Ruth's. tits almost time for papa to
come. We must get ready for dinner
And the first thing Ruth knew she was
little girl again holding mammals
hand.
But the strangest thing of all, when
they went to dinner there Ruth was on
papa's napkin; she gave joyous little
cry and said, ooh, papa!. See me!
Don't you like me for a rose on your
napkin?" Her papa said she was
dreaming, but mamma shook her head
at him, and Ruth and the fairies knew
better.

Colonies, Located There

conclusion to be drawn from the facts
presented in the pamphlet seems to be
that, according to the writer, where
colonies were started with the primary
intent of"making farmers out of their
inhabitants, the scheme was successful,
and factories built later to provide
work during the winter and for the
surplus population only added to the
prosperity of the settlement; but where
the factory was the primary object the
attempts resulted in failures. -Brcok-
