IT HAD AN END.

One evening when the mall arrived at
Barbersvile by stage there was the usual
move on the part of the crowd of idlerS TO
enter the post office. 1t SO happened that

the village cobbler, and they turned upon

on the next and BY and by it came TO be
regular thing. Every weekday evening
for long years they had war OF words,
and there was little variation. Then the
people of the town became discouraged, AMI
one evening as the two men were going
through the usual program they were sud
denly pushed together. White accidentally
stuck a finger in Jones eye, and Jones
kicked a dog and landed on Whites shin.
1t was a golden opportunity for the long
deferred battle to go on and for a few
seconds the crowd held its breath. Then

Miscellaneous Marriages.
From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
No one knows what type will be the best
for survival in an unknown future envir-
onment We often see the extinction OF
families of parents whom any physician
would have pronounced ideal. but their
children lacked resistance to the invasion
of pathogenic organisms or there was some
other defect which made them easy targets
for climatic causes of physical decay.
On the other hand, we quite often find
that parents below par physically have
fine families The curious unions which
take place must be the result of law such
as we find in every biologic phenomenon.
Man has the same instinct found in lower
animals to select a mate who is more or
less different from himself.
Should like types mate, their common
characteristics may be SO exaggerated as to
be harmful and the line perish. 1t Is an
instinct of those OF great intelligence to
marry those of less than the average,
for the offspring revert to the better aver
age. 1t is very evident that If we try to
improve the race intellectually by the mar
rage Of like types we will violate the nat
ural law upon which our existence Is based.
Artificial matrimonial selection has been
tried. though the results were disastrous.

glove as he crossed the room to greet her.
Then he stood, a trife conscious-a good

The Basement Kitchen.

From the London Globe.
In these days of overcrowding 1t is an ex-
traordnary fact that in Isington there are
about 1900 empty houses, all of high
rental, and situated in good-class neigh
borhoods. Mr.. Harris, the medical officer
of health says that the reason for so many
empty houses is the increased facilities af-
forded by railways and tramways for peo-
pie living farther away from the center.
This, however, is only one part of the
cause, as, in his opinion, the principal rea-
Easements below the level of the street.
There Is considerable competition to obtain
reimbursement houses in the neighborhood.

More than twice as many cattle as sheep
are struck, more sheep than horses, more
horses than pigs, more pigs than mules.
AS to the relative liability of trees to
lightning stroke. the statistics of the great
German forestry bureau are the most rell-
able. They show that the oak suffers tho
most. by far, and that after 1t rank. IN
order of frequency of strokes, the fir or
pinus slvestris, beech. pine. larch ash and
birch. The weather bureau estimates the
following order of frequency of strokes for
our different soils: Loan. sand, clay and
prairie.
Lightning Photos on Skin.
We frequently hear of cases where light
ming has imprinted upon persons struck va
rious photographs" of trees, flowers land
scapes, and the like. Experiments made by
Herr Karyll of Vienna, by Prof Elmer
Gates of Washington and by other investi-
gators have recently explained these
strange designs. Dry Photographic plates
have been bombarded with great sparks
from electrical machines and the negatives
when developed have shown beautiful and
intricate moss-like or tree-like forms, into
which the electric fluid has ramifed after
striking the glass. A slight thunderbolt
coming in contact with a PERSONS skin re-
produces similar designs in red lines, 1t be-
ing. of course, an easy matter for imagi-
nation to Identify any tree or bush In tho
locality as the one photographed"
The weather bureau advises that the fol-
lowing precautions be observed during
thunder storms: Do not stand under or
near trees, in doorways of barns, close TO
cattle, near chimneys, freplaces or the ends
of wire clothes lines. Do not attach tho
end of a wire clothes line to the house.
Small articles of steel Will not attract. nor
will feather beds or window panes repel
lightning Remember that there are many
thunderbolts which the body can withstand
without serious injury. Lightning often
causes temporary paralysis of the chest
and heart, which If left alone will deepen
into DEATH but which If inteligently treat
cd will pass away. When a person is struck
stimulate circulation and produce artificial
respiration, as in a case OF drowning. DO
not give up hope within an hour
