In such a dwelling as the average
Stat of the north and west the pri-
vacy Of home is reduced to minimum.
The footsteps Of the tenants, the roll
ing of their perambulators, the cries of
their children, the varied odors of their
breakfasts, lunches and dinners, are
omnipresent and not to be banished
even by mental science. If they are
unsteady inclined, the others must lis
ten perforce, and have no other redress
than to begin counter performances.
Some cheerful writer said, while a
man can sing he can work." but the
trouble often is that while he is sing
ing other people are unable to work.
Such forced participation in the lives
of others is irritating and upsetting to
the nerves, and though we may be will
ing to weep with those who weep and
rejoice with those who rejoice we
would prefer to have some choice in
the matter.-New Orleans Times Dem

worked a Problem While Asleep.

An Amsterdam banker once request
ed a professor Of mathematics to work
out very intricate and puzzling prob
lem for him. The professor, thinking
the matter good exercise for the intel
lectual faculties of his pupils, men
toned it to them and requested them
to work out the enigma. One of the
students, who had pondered deeply
over the intricate subject during the
day, retired to bed. Some time after
ward he arose, dressed, and, seating
himself at his desk, worked out the
problem accurately, covering sheets Of
paper with his calculations. He had
no recollection in the morning of hav-
ing done so.

na.alt Column. In Mexico,

There are columns of basalt in Mex
leo which may be regarded as one Of
the natural wonders of the world. They
may be seen at Regla falls, and there
Alexander Won Humboldt saw and adj
mired them when he took his famous
journey round the world. As regular
and symmetrical these columns are as
though they had been fashioned by
human hands, and yet they are entirely
natural and of volcanic origin. They
are of great height, and no one can see
them for the first time without becom-
ing greatly impressed.
In FingaPs cave, Scotland, there are
columns of basalt somewhat similar to
these, and on st. Helena there are 9th
ers, though the latter, instead Of stand
ing erect, are piled together on the
ground and look like trunks of trees.

Clever Spiders

took large spider from his web
under the basement Of mill, put him
on a chip of wood and set him afioat
on the quiet waters of the pond, says a
naturalist. He walked all about the
sides Of his bark, surveying the situa-
ton very carefully, and when the fact
that he was really afloat and about a
yard from shore seemed to be fully
comprehended he looked out for the
nearest land.
This point fairly settled upon, he i'm
mediately began to cast web for 1t.
He threw 1t as far as possible in the
air and with the wind. 1t soon reached
the shore and made fast to the spires
of grass. Then he turned himself about
and In true sailor fashion began to haul
In hand over hand on his cable. Care
fully he drew upon it until his bark
began to move toward shore. AS it
moved the faster, he the faster drew
upon 1t to keep his hawser taut and
from touching the water. Very soon he
reached the shore and quickly leaping
to terra firma sped his way homeward.
Thinking that he might be special
expert and an exception in that line of
workmanship to the rest Of his COM
panions, i tried several Of them. They
all came to shore in like manner.

We have seen many men surprised
in our life but about the best speci-
men of a surprised man that we ever
yet beheld was Ed Bilharz when he
opened his own front door last Fri
day evening and stepped into room
full of his friends and neighbors. Mrs.
Bilharz had deluded him into believ-
ing that she would attend Mrs. Burn
sides party and that a solitary meal
awaited him and when he saw the nice
ly laid tables in his own house and
was greeted by some twenty bass voices
with laughing soprano in the back
ground, his surprise wascomplete and
his confusion quite unassumed. A
royal dinner followed his speedy re-
covery, dainty and deliciously served,
followed by very pleasant even
ing's sociability. Mr.. and Mrs. Bill
harz have quite an ideal home and
entertain delightfully."-.

SHOCKED BY LIGHTNING.
Eaales Mere Takes Shower Bath. The
Chautauaua Office was Double Mark
For Bolts. Herman Knipe Shocked.

The severest thunder storm OF the
season visited the top of Eagles Mere
mountain Monday afternoon. Rain
fell in torrents for nearly half an
hour, accompanied by heavy hail,
the hailstones being as large as chest
nuts. The downpour was the result
of two heavy transforms meeting and
the wrath of both decended in ter
rible manner upon the picturesque
summer resort. Lightning struck
repeatedly, causing clap after clap of
deafening thunder and .tly
frightening the people.
The office 1T the Chautauqua was
hit twice by bolts almost immedi-
ately succeeding each other. Two
small steeple points that extend
from the roof were knocked COM
pletely off. Walter Fellows, stu
dent, and Herman Knipe, manager
of the f. M. r. r.. were sitting in
the office at the time. Both were
severely shocked.
