CURIOUS EFFECT or AN ELEC-
TRIO SHOCK.
There is n lady now living in this
vicinity upon whom an electric shock
has left the most remarkable trace.
Some fourteen years ago. during a
thunder storm. she was SO shocked as
to be partly paralyzcd for several
days. and since then. whenever there
is Il storm. though she suffers no pain
and retains speech and consciousness.
she loses all muscular power. and only
regains it when the weather grows
calm. She feels sharply the difference
in storm confined to the upper cur
rents and one that stirs all the aerial
deeps. IN a mountainous, breezy re-
gion, she says. the electric influence is
not so strong as in one where the land
is level and the air reasonably calm.
The only preventive she has is to go
indoors and shut herself in a room
darkened and lit with kerosene. Even
there. if the storm lasts n few hours.
she is overcome by it. though the fall
or absence of rain makes but little Diff
ference in her condition.

To Judge the Age of Lace.

In fixing the approximate date OF
any given piece of lace it is well to re-
member that machine made thread was
not used till after the beginning of the
eighteenth century. Before that time
the threads ran in lengths of about
twenty inches, for the worker could
stretch no farther than her distaff and
had to break off and join again, so that
after unraveling some twenty-five
inches of thread no joint is found the
lace is surely after the introduction of
machine made thread. The brides
ornee" alone are enough to go by. In
the fifteenth century the bar had only
a knot or dot as ornament, in the
sixteenth a double or single loop and
in the seventeenth star. The edging
also helps. A sharp angle in the seal
lop fixes the date in the middle ages,
the rounded scallop came in with the
nineteenth century. with the seven
tenth a dotted scallop. and the eight
zenith century one is more elaborate, a
large alternating with a small scallop
and dots along in the center of EACH
ConnoisSeur.

Searching For a Soul.

Before the astonished eyes of num-
Der of Parisians a singular funeral GER
emory took place the other day.
A resident property owner in the Rue
Matte Brun had just died. On the even
ing of his death, when darkness had
fallen, his relations. five or six in mum
Der, each provided with a lantern,
slowly made the circuit of the garden,
as If they were searching for something
in the walks. When they came TO a
large heap of stones, they turned each
one of them over and then re-entered
the house.
This curious procession is an old Nor
man custom. The dead person was a
native of the country near Gisors. Be
fore interring the dead it is necessary
according to the tradition, to investi
gate and see that the soul of the de
ceased is not concealed in a corner OF
his property or under some rubbish.

why Hindoos Don't Go Mad.

Why are there SO few lunatic asy-
iums and so small proportion of in
sane persons in India? That is a ques-
ton which many a traveller has won
deringly asked.
The Hindoos regulate their lives en-
tirely inaccordance with their religion
that is, their working, eating, sleeping,
as well as what we usually regard as
our life" in the religious sense of the
TOrd. Everything is arranged for them,
and they follow the rules now just as
they did 1000 years ago. This constant
observance of the same rules for TWEEN
ty centuries has nodded the brains of
the race into one shape, as it were, and
although their rites are queer enough,
yet there is but an occasional example
of that striking deviation from the
common which is called insanity in
countries inhabited by the white race.
They are fatalists too. With them 1t
is a case of what is to be will be-
carried to the extreme. This has in
time given them the power to take ali
things calmly and so freed them from
the anxiety that drives so many white
men into the lunatic asylums.

Some Tyrorean Epitaphs.

A German traveller has discovered
some quaint epitaphs in a Tyrolean
cemetery.
On a tombstone in a valley of Tux
was this inscription: I'm pious remem-
brance of the honest widow Anna
kriedi, forty years long"
A miller is thus remembered: I'm
Christian memory of H, who de-
parted this life without human assist
ance"
A farmer whose initials only are
given and who appears to have been
the author of his own epitaph has this
memorial: Here rests in God f. X.
He lived twenty-siX years as man and
thirty-seven years as husband"
On the tomb of man who fell from
a roof and was killed are these words:
Here fell Jacob Hosennkopf from the
roof into eternity"
This wall of desolate husband caps
the climax: "Tears cannot bring thee
back to life. Therefore l weep

Lunch Prices and plnner Prices.


ANY one who viii take the trouble to
compare the lunch and dinner menu
cards of some of the leading restau-
rants of New York will make rather
surprising discovery. He will ascertain
that the prices ON many dishes are cut
ON the dinner card from 10 cents to 20
cents.
A gentleman whose curiosity was
aroused by this singular practice to the
extent that he went to the head waiter
for mor1 satisfactory reason than the
table waiter could advance was given
this explanation:
You see." said the waiter, ''the gen
erality Of men don't care for heavy
lunch. One dish and glass of milk or
a cup of coffee, with bread and butter,
are sufficient for them; consequently to
prevent them from getting off too
cheap we have to put up the price of
single dishes. At dinner time it is diff
ferent. A man wants a number of dish
es for dinner and so we can afford to
make our meats and fish cheaper"
But do you think that is exactly
Honest? Why not? 1t is always
honest to take what people are willing
to pay you for what you have TO sell. is
tt not?'-New York Times.

Met His Match.

That well known historical person
age, Augustus the Strong, elector OF
Saxony, has furnished the subject for
many a tale of his wonderful muscular
power. We need refer only to one
characteristic story in which, however,
he met his match. On the occasion in
question he entered a blacksmith's
shop. To show his suit how strong he
was, picking up several horseshoes, he
broke one after the other. asking the
blacksmith whether he had no better.
When it came to paying the bill, the
Elector Augustus threw a six dollar
piece on the anvil. 1t was a very
thick coin. The blacksmith took it up,
broke it In half, saying. Pardon me,
but l have given you good horseshoe,
and expect a good coin in return"
Another six dollar piece was given
him, but he broke that and five or six
others, when the Inundated elector put
an end to the performance by handing
the blacksmith a louisd'or, pacifying
him by saying, THE dollars were prob
ably made of bad metal, but this gold
piece, hope, is good"
