LIGHTNING'S ODD CAPERS.
Unworthy Lover kili.d Grave Of
True. Hearted Girl.

The romantic have found food for
contemplation in deaths by sudden
strokes of lightning, in which they
have conceived that a higher power
visited upon the heads of sinful NOR
tails just punishment for offenSes for
which the human code had no penalty
provided. One of these was where
few years ago a young girl descended
from the Indian race, educated at Car
Isle, and of refined tastes and lovely
disposition fell in love with young
missionary who had gone to her tribes
residence to preach the gospel The
beautiful girl was a member OF his
congregation and he showed that he re-
ctprocated her love. but it was devel-
oped that he considered the trace OF
Indian blood in her veins a bar to
their marriage. The girl killed herself
and few nights afterward there came
a severe thunderstorm, at the ces5a-
ton of which the young minister was
missing. Later his dead body was
found on the grave of the girl. where
he had been struck down by bolt Of
Gus stories of the freaks of lightning
have preserved the account of the case
where what appeared to be ball OF
fire was observed rolling along the
ground and finally into a shed where
several pigs were penned. With COM
paratiyely slow and deliberate move
ments the ball trayersed the incloSed
rails. skirted the sides of the pen. and
was pursuing its 50 far harmless way
along the floor when an oVercurious
pig concluded to investigate 1t more
closely by rubbing his snout against
It. At the touch of the pigs snout
the shed on that side flew into small
bits and the porcine student OF cleo
tricity and his half-dozen brothers and
sisters were instantly killed.

FLOW cry kINCD OM'o COURT.
hikaio Rare Passes Beyond Limits OF
imperiat Garden.

The western world hears very little
OF the distant and somewhat secret
court of the mikado. Yet it is inter
esting in more than one respect, for
the poetical charm of its traditions is
giving place gradually before the ad-
vent of the spirit of the times. The
MIkado Mutsuhito is regarded as one
OF the cleverest and at the same time
most modest rulers recorded in Jap
anese history When he overthrow the
"ShOgun" in 1868 and restored his own
dynasty he won at once the admira-
ton and sympathy of his people by
abolishing a despotic form of govern
ment in favor OF a milder form. In
his own country he is known as ''Ko-
tell but he is generally referred to
abroad as the 'mikadO," or the hon
orable gate"
The mikadO is of comparatively
large stature, and his very majestic
bearing is increased by the generals
uniform which he usually wears. In
his daily walks he never passes beyond
the limits of the imperial gardens, ex-
cept on the occasion of the opening OF
parliament and at rare intervals for
the purpose Of attending military and
civic festivals. Unlike his professors
the mikado is very frequently to be
seen driving in his carriage, and when
he passes through the streets the Jap
anese are no longer compelled. as was
the case in former days. either to dis
90
turn their backs toward their ruler.
1t is curious to learn that this attitude
betokened a form of the highest res
pect. Nowadays the people learn that
the mikado is approaching only from
the shouts of the police: The mikado;

THE CITY IN MOURNING.

Superior was bowed down with a
great sorrow thursday on the nations
bereavement
Business was suspended, public
houses and many residences were
draped in mourning
The churches, Protestant and
Catholic, held impressive memorial
services at different hours throughout
the day. All churches where services
were held were crowded to their
utmost capacity.
The general memorial service at the
opera house was of a most impressive
character. At an early hour the large
auditorium was packed with a loving
public, assembled to pay their last
tribute to their beloved president,
William Mckinley. The largest hall
in the city could not accommodate the
hosts that would pay their respect in
general assembly to their departe d
chief magistrate. Thousands WEI e
turned away from the opera house i'll
disappointment.
The service was one of unusual
tenderness, and the great audience
was in the closest sympathy with the
singers and speakers throughout the
ceremonies. The deep sympathy of
the vast concourse is perhaps bes t
demonstrated by the fact that during
the two hour service, not soul left
the opera house.
"Nearer My God to Thee" the
presidents favorite hymn, his great
comfort during the last days, which
was sung by Miss Bradshaw, visibly
affected the audience. 1t seemed that
this song carried the listeners back to
those sad days at Buffalo, and that all
shared in ;he sorrow of the occasion.
The speeches were all tributes to
the martyred president and it seemed
that the fitting words of the speakers
expressed the united sentiments of q
united people.

me very much last winter in a board
ing house in Prytania street There
was dudish fellow, scarcely out Of
his teens, who prided himself on
being the first always in picking up
tne latest in the way of slang. One
night during the dinner hour he had
been particularly loquaciOus, and, in
fact, had converted himself into a con-
Versauonal Gatling gun, if | may say
1t. With an air of self-sufticiency, and
much dignity. he turned to a gentle
man sitting by him and said: L will
thank you for the Trilbys.' The point
landed, and he succeeded in confusing
his friend, who did not understand at
first. But the Joke was quickly shift
ed, for the gentleman to whom he
addressed the remark turned to him
and said with frigid politeness: o.
excuse me. you mean the Cinderellas,
and as he said this he passed his
friend the pigs feet, and never heard
the young fellow use slang again while
at my boarding house. In fact, he
never seemed to recover from the
shock, and generally ate his meals In

Discard Old Ones
The Hupa Indians of Northern Cal

the American Anthropologist, have a
custom which compels them to form
new words and TO discard old ones
After burial ceremony is completed
it is a serious offense to utter the
name Of the deceased in the hearing OF
a relative. 1t often happens that the
name is that of some common animal
or object. when a new designation
must be invented. at least for use in
the presence Of the relatives of the
deceased If the new name happens
to take or the person who had been
called by the old one was prominent
in the tribe, the change will be likely
to be permanent Three instances Of
this kind have come to my notice. The
