Some Timely Advice.

When a servere thunderstorm
is raging, the safest place is in
the open, close to the earth. If
the body is erect, it acts as an
excellent conductor for the
lightning to find its way to the
earth. For this reason it is
dangerous to take refuge under
trees, says the Buffalo Courier.
Doubtless most Of the persons
who perish while under trees
would be alive to-day had they
remained in the open. 1t is al =
so injudicious to huddle under
threshing machines, sheds or in
the grand stands of race tracks
or under or near the hagStaffs
which usually adorn such
structures.
Avoid standings in doorways,
near chimmeys and tireplaces,
close to cattle or near the ends
of a wire clothesline during a
thunderstorm. On the other
hand, there is not much sense
in going to bed or trying to
insulate oneself in feather beds.
Small articles of steel or iron,
as a knife, kettle or key, do not
attract lightning, as it is popu,
larly believed.
If one has been struck by
lightning, the first thing to do

No girl has a right to take a

A great many people in this
world would be better than

Ambition is an itching for
something you haven't got.
Woman was born to wait.
First she waits to be married

There are two ways to climb
