A Strange Thunderstorm,

It was a strange thunderstorm that
struck Suffolk, England, Aug. +, 1877.
According to Holinshed, the tempest
Of lightning came through the wall of
Bliborough church and went a yard into
the ground, knocking over twenty peo-
pie and killing two. Then it came up
again, mounted the steeple by way of
the vestry door, broke the bells and
darted off to Bungay, six miles dis
tant. There, according to another
~ehronicler, it became a fiery black
dog, which dashed between two people
kneeling in church and broke their
necks and clawed another man on The
back so that he was presently drawn
together and shrunk up, as it were, a
piece of leather scorched in a hot fire"
Claw marks remained on the door to
prove the reality of the black dog.

Cooking Fish In Clay.

"The natives of the north woods
have more appetizing ways to cook
fish than any other class of cooks in
the world, 1 believe" said a Tomah
man.
1.-THE universal favorite, however.
seems to be the clay method. The fish
is wrapped in the clay without having
so much as a scale ruffied by the
cleaning knife. He is not dressed, and
the only seasoning is a pinch of salt
placed in the mouth. When the fish is
done up in the clay the package is
placed in the embers of the campfire
to bake. When it is done the clay is
cracked open, and the scales of the
fish are found to be sticking in the
clay, and the head is then broken off.
The delicate flavor Of a fish cooked in
this way cannot be described. Some of
the cooks have a habit of cutting a
long cash along each side of the dorsal
fin and inserting a slice of fat bacon.
This adds greatly to the flavor of the
sh."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Pockets In Their Checks.

Chipmunks, squirrels and ground
squirrels take food in their mouths and
with their tongues push it out between
the teeth into an elastic pouch connect
ing with the MOUTH, thus extending
the cheeks. The pocket gophers have
pockets outside the mouth along the
front of the cheeks. These pockets ex-
tend back under the skin to the shout
ders and are filled and emptied by the
aid of the fore feet and claws. They
are often stuffed so full of pieces Of
roots, stems and leaves as to give a
very ludicrous appearance to the lit,
animal. Roots and stems are cut into
pieces about an inch long and packed
lengthwise. Leaves are folded or rolled
to fill the smallest space.-St. Nicholas.

The Roman Bride Cake.

Bride cake is a relic of the Roman
Con%farreates, a mode of marriage
practiced by the highest class in Rome.
In Confarreation the bride was led to
the altar by bachelors, but conducted
home by n.&rried men, and the cere-
mony took Place in the presence of ten
witnesses by the Pontifex Maximus,
whereupon the contracting parties mu-
tually partook Of a cake made of salt,
water and flour. Only those who were
born in such wedlock were eligible for
the high sacred offices. But the Gus
tom of breaking a cake we the
brides head when she enters her hus-
bands house is borrowed from the
Greeks, who as an emblem of future
plenty poured figs and other fruits
over the heads of both bride and bride
groom.

In consideration of the very impor-
tant fact that three-fourths Of the prin-
cipal constituents of the body is water
and that it is far more essential than
food, how little heed is paid to the mat
ter of its consumption and purity by
the average person. One to two quarts
Of pure, cool water should be consum-
ed daily by every one. Eight full
glasses of water daily should be taken
throughout the day between meals"
was the advice given by a noted ply
stefan in a lecture on dietetics.

Old Time Advice to Travellers,

Edward Leigh's Hints For Travel
ers" was published at the end of the
sixteenth century. Only those who
speak Latin should travel, he says, and
every one should be well grounded iii
the true religion" lest he be perverted
abroad. Travellers should know their
own country before being allowed to
leave it Before his voyage the traveller
should make his peace with God, re
ceive the Lords supper, satisfy his
creditors if he be in debt, pray earnest
~ to God to prosper him on his voyage
and to keep him from danger, and he
should make his last will and wisely
order all his affairs, since many that go
abroad return not home"

Cross Eyed Angels.

Near the village of Monterey, Mass,
in the heart Of the Berkshires, on a
knoll peculiarly well fashioned by ma
ture for its uses, is a burying ground
Of the Revolutionary period which pos
sesses more than ordinary interest by
reason of it's well preserved headstones.
These headstones were cut from a ma
tive stone which has endured the ele-
ments so we'll for more than a hun
dred years that the Inscriptions are
now almost as easily read as they were
when the stones were set in position.
A striking popularity is found in the
carvings on the headstones, apparent
ly all the work Of one sculptor, who
had a specially in the creation of cross
eyed angels. Almost every one of the
old headstones is ornamented at the
top with the head of an angel, and
each angel face is Enthusiastically and
painfully cross eyed. This characters
tic has led some guests near the bury
ing ground to call it the cemetery of
o eyed angels."-New York Trib-

Writers Good Wishes.

A young woman once sat at a board
ing house table beside a reserved and
awkward country boy whom she de-
lighted to tease. When she left she
asked him to write in her autograph
album. The poem which John G..
Whittier wrote there stands as a warn
ing to other young ladies that she who
laughs first at a seemingly dumb coun-
tryman may be herself laughed at
many years later. The quaint conclud-
ing stanza is:
Thy life-may nothing vex it
Tiny years be not a few,
And at thy final exit
May the devil miss his due

Burlington Extension Probabilities.

1t is now known that during the past
summer the Burlington made two sur
veys, connecting two Kansas lines of
the road with the main line to Denver.
The surveys made connect Oberlin, the
terminus of the line from Republican
running into Kansas, with Atwood, on
the st. Francis line. The other survey
connects St. Francis with Haigler, in
the southeast corner of the state, on the
main line of the Burlington to Denver.
The two lines would thus be connected
with the main line to the west, as they
are now connected On the east. These
surveys would involve ffty-five miles of
railroad building, would give the Bur
lington a double track between Republi-
can City and Haigler, would make it
possible to detour traffic in flood time
and during wreck troubles, and would
lessen the possibility of congestion of
business on the McCook division.
One of the main reasons for connect
ing these lines on the west is that a great
deal of stock and grain from the two
Kansas branches is now shipped to the
west, and this must be sent east to the
junction with the main line. The build
ing would be a benefit to Denver jobbers
and a detriment to Lincoln jobbers.
Another survey made years ago, and
partly graded at the time, connects I'm
perial in Chase county with Holyoke on
the Cheyenne line of the road.
It is known that a surveying party
worked several weeks during the sum-
mer on the matter of connecting the two
Kansas branches on the west with the
main line, and that the line from st.
Francis to HaIgler presents engineering
difficulties of some magnitude. Direc-
tor Perkins of the Burlington owns a
big ranch neal St. Francis. Lincoln
