A TERRIFIC STORM YESTERDAY.
Vivid Lightning, Peallng Thunder
and Plenty Rain

The most violent electric storm wit
messed in Americas in several years
swept over this section shortly before
dawn yesterday. Incessant lightning
in binding flashes, accompanied by
thunderous peals of heavens artillery,
combined torendsr the spectacle one Of
awful grandeur. The storm continued
for nearly and hour, and hundreds Of
citizens tumbled in alarm from their
beds to watch it. A deIuge Of rain
fell while the storm lasted and at least
one residence here and a number of
trees were struck by the electric bolts.

ENFORCE DISCIPLINE.
Compel the Faculties to Obey Just
Mandates of the Will
From the Philadelphia Record


Almost everybody experiences more or
less often, the difficulty of recalling some
familiar name particularly if it has been
out of mind a while. and more particularly
IL exciting events have interviewed; and We
venture to say that almost everybody ex-
periencing this difficulty, perhaps after mo-
mentarily attacking it without effect has
dismissed it as insurmountabe or as not
worth the trouble of resolutely trying to
overcome it. This We think unwise Serv-
ants whose unfaithfulness is passed by be-
come demoraized; and in this respect mem
DRY is like other servants. Put up with her
shortcomings and she will grow untruth-
worthy. if not worthless. Hold her firmly
to her work and she will do it with increas-
ing vigor and fidelity. Without discipline,
memory,
Like neglected forester, runs wild.
The writer OF this article, if the citation
may be pardoned. had occasion the other
day to think of the substance emery with
the use and application and appearance of
which he was familiar but which had been
out of his mind for year more, and
his memory refused to bring the name
back. Aftcr making the ordinary appeals
in vain, he decided to try the effect OF dis
cipline. Accordingly, SO to speak, he per-
emptorily ordered memory to go for the
name. and not to return without it, But
the path by which she used TO bring it
was closed-flled up by disuse, and grown
over with later impressions. Nothing APP
peared to indicate where it had begun,
what direction it took, where it ended; no
landmark no footprint, no sign of any
description. Memory's recalcitrance seemed
all but justified Finally Determining
as we'll as he could the point of en-
trance and the point of ISSUE and thus
getting vaguely the bearings of the obiter-
ated passage, he set memory to cropping.
and stood over her as she did it. So driven,
she fixed attention the group of ex-
periences connected with his use of the
substance, thrust out every side the
feelers of association, tracked verbal ar
rows shot at random, now in this quarter
now in that; explored blindly by all modes
in all directions. Two nights and one full
day, memory, under her relentless task
master, went .-.
~ sounding on,
Through words ard things, a dim and perllous way
until at length light Shone through a chink
In the forest tangle, and presently she
broke into the open-returning with the lost
name IN her possession. This particular
passage is not likely ever to close again,
nor is the lesson taught by opening 1t like
~ TO be lost on memory, or her associat-
ed powers. Discipline enforced in any part
of the mental economy proves wholesome to
the whole.
And so in all departments of human ac-
tiVity. Enforce discipline is a sound rule
everywhere-in the world of mind, the
world OF home, the world of business the
world of affairs and in every other world.
1t is necessary rule.

THE MEN WOMEN LIKE.
Will Worship Man With Big Muscle
and Little Brain.

Lady Colin Campbell in London News.
Women abhor towards and still more
sneaks. though l regret to say they often
endure cads in way that bellies their in
teiligence and good taste They have a
quite pathetic desire to look up to men, to
feel men their superiors in strength Of
body and of mind. in calmness of Judgment
and clearness of intellect. And it is indeed
a pity that men so often seem to go out of
their way to destroy their most cherished
Illusions
Above everything a woman admires
strength in man. 1t may be strength of
body-she will worship a Hercules with
the brain Of a guinea-pig. 1t may be
strength of inteilect-she will adore a
savant with the body of a Gibhon monkey.
1t may be strength of characteristic will
break her heart for a politician or a fnan-
cter who is unSWeryingly wrapped up in
dreams of personal advancement and who
POSSESSES no more heart than an oyster. But
strength in some form she Graves unceas-
ing.y. 1t is an hereditary instinct that
has been bcQucathod to her through Eve
first disappointment when Adam was tried
in the balance and found wanting. Wo-
man, secretly conscious of her own ply
steal weakness and lack of intellectual
strength, demands strength from man to
make up for her own deficiencies. Even
the strongest woman. strong in body and
mind. well balanced as Athene herself
though they may shield and protect the
weakness of the men they love and stoop to
help them, will never do SO without a
secret feeling of contempt which is de-
struction of AL ideals.
Man, in spite of that deplorable start
made by Adam, was intended to be wo-
mans protector and refuge from all harm
upon whom she could lean and rely i'm ev-
cry event Of life'S pilgrimage, and when
the roles are reversed, as they often so un-
fortunately are. it is a bad thing for both
man and woman. Strength however is
what women love in men.

LONG VISTAS.
An Optician Claims They Are Very
Beneficial to the Eyes.

From the New orleans Tiines-Demo- rat.
Speaking of the practice of wearing
glasses" said a well-known oPiician In
Canal street there is a curious thing
about the human oyo that the average per
s5n is constantly overlooking. We talk
great deal about the influence Of color,
about glare. and all that sort of thing. Tn
questonably color has a great deal to do
with the weakness Of the human eye at this
time. Glare figures as an important factor
i'm the impairment Of the human sight. lD
the matter of color there is so much rioting
in these latter DAYS that the eye is kept In
an almost constant strain. Red is violently
red, green Viole entity green. ard so on, until
the eye is simply strained beyond the nor
NAL in an effort to visualize the hue, and
the optic nerves are in a measure strained
and injured. But this is not the greatest
danger when We come to think CT modern
TENDENCIES far the human eye Is con-
cerned. There are other conditions which
are infinitely more Injurious than the mat
ter CT color The glare is bad enough, too.
The electric and incandescen lights are
simply fearful on ones eyesight. But the
thing | quarrel with. more than W tn any
other infiue nee is the condition which linn
its the scope Of ones vision.
THE eye should have a broad range. One
should have the opportunity of seeing a
long distance. We are denied III 5 oppor-
tunity. We are hemmed and hedged in I'M
til the distance we are Capable OF seeing Is
very short indeed. This is why | am a
strong advocate OF parks or promenades
Greer is naturally -restful color. and IL
the city could be provided with long ave-
nues and splendid parks. where ones eyes
could stretch out in a long vista, 1t would
be a great thing. When We come to think
of the thing seriously the benefit to the
human eye alone would amply justify the
city in lhuildin,. roadways and parks and
tn ngs OF that sort to rest the human eye.
The human eye needs rest. Ii may hurt
my business. the business of the optician.
but 1t is a good thing, High buildings and
loud colors and the glare of many lights
are conditions which simply force a ma
jor.ty of mankind to resort to artificial
means OF seeing. and these conditions are
rspidly producing a race of spectacle wear
ers. The conditions are bad. They should
be corrected. Or at least the bad Influences
should be minimized so that the injury
would not be SO great as 1t lis. The eye
should be given suffic.ent scope. 1t shoulA
be given that range which would cultivate
the finer qualities of this. the finest ana
most perfect OF all human organs. Thars
why I'm in favor OF parks and roadvnWe
and HI that sort OF thing"
