ODD FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.

Rraphs on Its Victim.
One Of the fantastic tricks which
lightning plays upon its unfortunate
victims is a kind of fiashlight photog-
raphy. There are numerous instances
Of this which are more or less ''authen-
dcated," but they seem almost too
wonderful to be believed. One of these
Is OF young man in New Jersey who
was struck by lightning and was taken
In an ambulance to the hospital at
once. There seemed to be no wound
except a small mark on the back, but
while the doctors and nurses were e0-
amining him a picture began to devel-
op on the skin. Soon before the Won
dering eyes of tile watchers appeared
a perfect picture of Christ nailed to
the cross. The explanation is that on
the wall opposite the bed on which the
young man lay was the picture which
was reproduced on his skin.
Another instance Is Of a man who
was struck by lightning, and on his
chest were red marks, resembling the
tree, with all its branches, under which
the man was standing when he was
killed. From France comes the story
Of peasant girl who was driving a
cow from the pasture when she was
cvertaken by storm, and she and the
COW took refuge under the tree. A bolt
Of lightning killed the COW and stunned
the girl. When she recovered con-
sciousness she found on her chest
picture of the cow she had been driv-
ing.
The chatelaine of the castle Of Bena-
tonnaire was sitting in a chair in her
salon when the chateau was struck by
lightning. She was uninjured, but on
the back of her dress was found per-
feet copy Of the chair on which she
had been sitting, down to its Tiinutest
ornament. These are a few of the
many strange pranks which lightning
plays upon us.-Chicago Chronicle.

An Organ Out of Order

The manner in which a gang OF
forgers in Warsaw have been discoy-
cred and broken up makes curious
reading. A domiciliary visit had to be
paid by the police to house, and on
the arrival of the officers no opposition
was offered to their entry. Inside
one of the rooms, however, they found
g man playing a cabinet organ, and
all the time the visit lasted the man
remained at the organ. AS they We're
about to leave the house the officer
in charge of the police, being some
thing Of a musician himself, asked the
performer to play the Russian Nation
al Hymn before they left. This the
man did, but the officer was not
pleased with the performance, and
complained that the player did not put
enough expression into the melody.
The man explained that he was un-
able to do so, as the loud pedal ar
order. The officer at once volunteered
to repair it, and, in spite of the pro-
tests of the performer, set to work to
do so. Great was his surprise on
opening the instrument to discover that
the pedal would not work because
bundles of forged notes had been
stuffed into the instrument. Arresting
every one in the house, the police care
fully examined the organ, and found,
besides the notes, documents which
revealed the membership Of tine gang
Of forgers.

making attack after attack, especially
on the center and westward, against
machine guns and infantry fire which
literally moved down the advancing
columns, making human life so cheap
that the survivors could bastion them
selves behind piles of corpses.
After this action General Kuropat
kin's deposition may be regarded as
certain. War Minister Sakharoff is
picked as his probable successor
through Grand Duke Nicholas Nicho-
laevich, of the board of strategists,
may be intrusted with the direction of
affairs
A strong faction of the army, those
high in influence about the Emperor,
opposed General Kuropatkin from the
first and though his early defeats We're
condoned because it was realized that
General Kuropatkin was doing all that
man could with the tools at his COM
mand, it is now felt that after twice
having had the opportunity to show
what he could do with powerful
army and having failed to accomplish
victory either time his removal is ad
visable.
The Russian losses are enormous in
killed and wounded. Kaulbars lost
10000 men in four days trying to check
Oku's advance. Sunday he lost 1000
i'll Nogis first onslaught. Monday he
lost 5000 to 6.000 more. Tuesday af-
ternoon and night he lost 7.G00 more
General Rennenkampfs corps had
nearly $4,000 men when he went into
battle. In the eighteen days fighting
he lost a fourth of his men.

Iirr.i of Enhinr, Ia -.ics.

4 high Russian military official said
the Emperor had had enough of a general
whose interpretation OF victory was a
successful retreat: that Fabian tactics
are well enough in their way. but Kuro-
patkin went beyond those of Fabius and
neglected to take account of favorable
opportunities for counterstrnkes. Friends
of Kuropatkin, however, say no other
general is apt to do well as he has done.
A general who has just returned from
the front says Kuropatkin's faults as
commander-in-ch are due to his bu-
reaucratic training and his desire to keep
all the reins in his own hands. Instead
of relying on the Judgment of the army
commanders to carry out his general or
ders, he made of them simply orderlies
for the transmission of specific orders
to individual units. and kept constantly
before him a map showing the location
not only of the corps but of the brigades
and regiments and undertook to control
the movement of every unit.

Tuesday mornings dawn marked the
beginning of the rout. At that hour
Kaulbars, exhausted after four days
and nights Of continuous battle, was
still fighting with the desperation of
despair at Ushutun, seven miles west
of Mukden railway station, while Nogi
was extending his lines still farther
northward toward Tie Pass.
Ushutun proved too hard nut for
Kaulbars to crack. The houses Of the
village are constructed with thick
walls and the villages are surrounded
by high clay ramparts, converting
them into Notifications impervious to
rifle bullets. Each house had to be
taken singly by hand to hand combats.
Again and again the Russians ad-
vanced to the attack. Under the eyes
of General Kaulbars, who, with his
staff, moved about where the hail of
iron was thickest and who seemed to
bear a charmed life, the riflemen de-
ployed over the plowed fields as If at
maneuvers and without firing a shot.
Though bespattered by the continuous
bursting of shrapnel and lead they
pushed eagerly forward in close skir-
mishing order, captured the village,
and advanced on the Japanese fianks.
The fight then grew more bitter, the
Japanese attacking madly, and at 4
o'clock in the afternoon the Russian
position became untenable and Cen
eral Kaulbars withdrew his troops, the
japanese bidding them adieu with a
burst of shimose shells.
Opposite Tatchekiao the fighting
was of an equally desperate nature.
The Russians established themselves

Fallacy Regarding Bread.

The fa!lacy that the whittier the
bread the higher its quality, seems to
prevail all over the world, and the de-
mands for snow-white flour have been
answered by the production of -four
which is robbed Of considerable of its
nutritive value. There are various
ways Of accomplishing this object, but
the newest and most novel process for
the purpose comes from France. Here
the dough has been treated with ozon-
lied air, and the effect was that while
the bread was much whittier than the
untreated the quality Of the bread
was very much impaired. Both the
taste and the amount of nourishment
were very much inferior.

japanese during a continuous eighteen
days struggle, the Russians, under
Kuropatkin, have been driven from
their strongly intrenched positions and
forced to take another hurried back

the point Marshal Oyama is aiming

Interfered With Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures OF life. ANY
little excitement, or over-exertion, Or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again 1t
is like nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
end the nerves are imperfectly nourished
nnd the digestion weak, one of the conf
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
uishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years was
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became so restless that could not
sit still any length of time. Dizziness
interrupted my woc-1 greatly. At first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew moro violent, and finally
became SO acute that was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which I be-
longed."
"What saved you from that necessity"
"a very simple thing; the call of
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
before givingup. Iacted on her sugges-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary Of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
| Williams Pink Pills have cured many
| hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
| poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.
