,THREEF0LD LIGHTNING.
An Ancient Belief Coupled A!:.h: Nod,
ern Scientific DEGREES.

-" Ancaene BelIef Coupled H!...; Nod.
ern Scientific DEGREES.
The Etruscans of old believed in
three kinds of lightning-one ince-
pabie OF doing any injury, another
more mischievous in its character
and consequently only to be issued
with the consent of quorum Of
twelve gods, and third carving
mischief in it's train and for which
regular decree was required from
the highest diTinities in the Etrus-
can skies. Curiously enough, mod
ern scientists, following the lead
taken by Arago, have also decreed
that the varieties of lightning are
threefold. The first comprehends
that In which the discharge appears
like long luminous line, bent into
angles and zigzags and varying in
complexion from white to blue, pur-
pie or red. This kind is known .as
forked lightning, because it some
times divides into two or more
branches before reaching the earth.
The second differs from the first
in the range Of surface over which
the flash is diffused. From this cir
cumstance the discharge is desig-
mated sheet lightning, and if any
real parallel can be instituted be-
tween the Etruscan and modern va
rieties this may be said to CORE
spond with the innocuous lightning
which any single god of Etruria
could launch at his pleasure.
The third class are not only re-
markable for their eccentricities,
but they have been made the sub.
ject of considerable contention.
They differ SO widely from the more
ordinary manifestations that many
meteorologists hare denied their
right to be treated as legitimate
ightnings. They neither assume
the form of long lines on the one
hand nor of sheets of flames on the
other, but exhibit themselves as
balls or globular Jumps of fire.

Moral Effect OF Diets.

An exclusively pork diet tends IN
fallibly to- pessimism. Beef, if per-
severed in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and audacious,
says Pearson's Weekly. A mutton
diet continued for any length Of
time tends to melancholia, while
veal eaters gradually lose energy
and -gayety. The free use of eggs
and milk tends to make women
healthy and vivacious. Butter used
in excess renders its users phleg-
matte and lazy. Apples are excel
lent for brain workers, and every
body VINO has much intellectual
work to do should eat them freely.
Potatoes, on the contrary, render
one dull, invidious and lazy when
eaten constantly and, in excess. To
preserve the memory even to an ad-
vanced ago nothing is better than
mustard.

Cows on tho Roof.

The funniest thing yet discovered
in the management Of COWS is the
Peruvian fashion of keeping them
on top of the house. The big ram
bling houses of Lima have adobe
roofs, fiat as board floor, and there
are hundreds of them in the SUBJ
urbs of that proud old city which
serve the purposes of barnyard.
The mules and horses are housed in
the lower rooms of the house--for
in Spanish America It is not gener-
ally the fashion for humans to in
habit the 1round foor-while on

TWO Evils That Destroy Thousands Of
Men Every Year.
Beecher's advice to his son makes
good reading:
You must not get into debt.
Avoid debt as you would the devil
Make it a fundamental rule: Cash
or nothing.
Make few promises. Religiously
observe the smallest promise. <
man who means to keep his prom
ise can't afford to make many.
Be scrupulously careful in all
perfect frankness; no guesswork--
either nothing or exact truth.
When working for others. sink
yourself out of sight; seek their in
terest. Make yourself necessary to
those who employ you by industry,
fidelity and scrupulous integrity.
Selfishness is fatal.
Hold yourself responsible for a
higher standard than anybody else
expects of You. Demand more Of
yourself than anybody expects of
you. Keep your own standard high
Never pity yourself. Be hard mas
ter to yourself, but lcnient to every
body else.
Concentrate your force on your
own business; do not turn off. Be
constant, steadfast, persevering.
The art of making ones fortune
is to spend nothing. In this coun-
try any intelligent and industrious
young man may become rich if he
stops all leaks and is not III hurry.
Do not make haste; be patient.
Do NOT speculate or gamble.
Steady, patient industry is both the
surest and the safest way. Greedi-
ness and haste are two devils that
destroy thousands every year.

NATURAL sMUGGLeRs.
Weme" Cannot or Will Not Under
stand the Customs Laws.

Weme" Cannot or VIII Net Under
stand the Customs Laws.
While he admits that our customs
regulations are 'odious and more
Ilgld than those of any other coun-
try IN the world, William e. Curtis
declares that the greater part of the
trouble OF which returning travellers
complain is due to their own folly
IN endeavoring to elnde the Wig
lance OF the inspectors, for people
who arc detected in tricks always
havs to pay the penalty. He says:
People cannot be made to under
stand that every article they have
sPui chased abroad, no matter what
1t Is or who it is for or what they
PAID Tor it, must be taxed according
to the laws Of congress. If it is
only q glove or photograph or a
little memento Of insignificant val
ue. it is required to pay duty, just as
!. Il weTe brought in by the carload.
That law was made by congress and
not by the inspector who meets you
at the dock or the collector of Gus
toms, to whom he is subordinate, or
the secretary Of the treasury, who
frames the regulations. But aver
age travellers seem to be unable
to get it out of their minds, particu-
larly the women, that the inspectors
who examine their trunks are i'm
pertinent and offensive intruders.
travellers returning from Europe
can get through the customs easily
and cheerfully if they win exercise
little patience and be honest and
candid. If they are looking fo,
trouble, they can find plenty Of it,
but it is great deal better for them
to accept the situation, obey the
law and avoid quarrels with the in
spectors.
"The latter are required to per.
form q disagreeable duty. They are
employed by the government to pre-.
vent smuggling, and their living as
well as their reputation depends
upon their vigilance. Most of them

the law and the payment of Their

Doing a Good Deed.

A poor scribbler who had written
q lampoon against Diderot, the en-
cyclopedist, and wished to dedicate
It to the Duke of Orleans came with
it in his poverty to Diderot, and
Diderot, pitying the creature, VT &c
the dedication for him and so raised
i've and twenty louis dor to save his
famishing lampooner alive.
He used to declare that no amount
of praise could have given him so
much qualification as the sight of
the poor mans face as he received
his pension, and no slanderer was
ever more quickly converted into a

Ancient Foot Coverings.

If ws are to Judge Of the foot COW
erings handed down to us as relics
from the courts of France, Spain,
England and Germany, we can but
conclude that for an extremely long
period Of time, probably eight or
ten centuries, the dressing Of the
human foot has been, even in the so
called civilized countries, but slight
ly different and only in degree from
the customs of the followers of Con-
fucius for thousands of years.
Fortunately for art, unfortunate
ly for the history of civilization, so
called, the artist of olden as well as
modern times has not copied except
in portraiture the cramped foot, the
narrow toe, the elevated heel and
the pinched instep, which have long
accompanied the human foot. It
seems reasonable to suppose, how
ever, that the Roman artist and
critic and the Grecian as well fully
attempted to give us the perfect
foot as found in the well developed
Grecian woman of the day.
The sandals worn at the time
when Rome was in her splendor
were undoubtedly so constructed
as to afford ample opportunity for
the development of the foot and
exhibit the beauty Of its conforma-
ton.

tleaddressins Among tho Romans.


The ancient Romans were most
simple i'll their attire and so contin-
ued for a long period, but after
time fashion came to reign supreme
among them, just as it does with us
today.
In the early Roman days the wo-
men, following eastern traditions,
were seldom seen abroad, and when
they did go out wore their faces
veiied, but as richness and luxury
increased the household labors were
delegated to slaves, and dress and
show became the chief object of am
bition.
The simplicity of their home life
and the number Of bakers and cook
shops enabled even the poorer class
es to spend much of their time in
the streets, market places and at the
public games.
It is noticeable that this day the
poorest Roman woman, no matter
how coarse her garments, will in
variablv have her hair neat, plated
and elaDorately coiled and fastened
with snowy beaded pins, which care
Of her bountiful tresses she derives
directly from her ancestress of an
cient times, for the ancients spent
more time in the elaborate dressing
of the hair than in any other adorn-
ment.-Spare Moments.

Sulphur In the MInera, kinudom.

Sulphur occurs very widely dis
tributed in the mineral kingdom,
partly free and partly combined
with other elements. The free sui
phur is either found pure in regu-
larly formed crystals or Intimately
mixed with earthly matters. In it's
native state sulphur is largely found
in Sicily and Italy and as general
rule in abundance in volcanic dis
tricts. The brittleness of sulphur
renders the cleavage imperfect. Sui
phuric acid is an important combi-
nation and q very dangerous one in
inexperienced hands. Sulphur COM
bined with a number of elements,
such as iron, copper, lead, etc., fur
nishes the sulphides. In the vege-
table kingdom sulphur is a small
constituent Of the albuminous bod
les aud OF certain volatile irritant
oils. Moreover, the vegetable juices
contain it in the form Of certain
sulphstes.

Great Men Who Danced.

The ancients regarded dancing as
a necessary accomplishment. Soc
rates learned the art in his old age,
while Plato in,his Commonwealth"
advocated the establishment of
dancing schools. The Romans cele-
brated their victories and pastoral
festivals by elaborate dances. They
excelled in pantomime dances, from
which the ballet was evolved. The
Emperor Domitian forbade the SEN
ators to dance and for SO doing re-
moved several members from the
senate. Grave statesmen and poll
ticians ofHhigh degree haye excelled
in the oldest of the arts.

FOR A MURDER
CORONER ACTS ON JOHNSON CASE
Gustaf Erickson Under Strong Sus-
ptciOn for the Foul Crime
Near Alexandria,
Special to The Journal.

Alexandria, Mimi, March 2S.-The cor
oner's inquest over the body of Magnus
Johnson, who was shot to death Monday
afternoon, was finished yesterday. The
post norton examination was made by
Dr.. Syng. There we're four bullet wounds
in the face, three on the right side and
one almost between the eyes. One bullet
entered the right cheek, passed into the
head, going slightly upward, and lodging
in the skull. One ball passed into the head
just in front of the right ear, cut the
temporal artery and also lodged in the
skull. Another entered back of the right
ear, passed backward and downward and
had apparently lodged in the spinal
column and was not found. This wound
probably caused Johnson's death.
The first probably struck him in the
forehead and Knocked him down. Then
the murderer had stepped around the
sacks of grain and deliberately shot him
were from 22-calibre revolver.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
of murder against Gustaf Erickson, about
Is years Of age. On Saturday young
Erickson was in Alexandria and bought a
22-calibre revolver. He had been at some
of Johnson's neighbours on Sunday with
this revolver and shot at a mark with
boys. He left that neighborhood some
time Monday afternoon. He had no set
| tied home here, but was something of 8
| tramp and had lived around among the
| farmers for some four or five years. He

A Little Gun PLAY.

Saturday night when A. N. McLen-
nan was starting for the Palace Hotel
from the lower part of town, about 8
O'Clock, some one sprung from the side
of a building and fired upon him, the
bullet striking his side, but very for
tunately he lad large number Of let
ters in his pocket, through which the
bullet plowed its way, but lost its force
and stopped when it finally struck his
pocket-book. Mr.. McLennan whirled
and ran and was followed by one more
shot, which did not touch him. 1t was
a 38 calibre revolver aud was fred at
such close range that Mr.. McLennan's
over coat was powder burnt. Yet it
was dark night and the would. be
murderer could not be distinguished,
SO that no arrests have as yet been
made. Mr.. McLennan has the fiat.
tened bullet to show how narrow was
his escape, for it struck directly over
the heart. He says that he did not
know of his having any enemies and
that the shooting must have been by
somebody who had an imaginary griev-
ance, possibly prompted from jealousy.
