LIGHTNING SHOCKS SHERIFF.



Lafayette. May 16.-(Special. y
There was an extremely heavy rain,
accompanied by much thunder and
lightning. all over this County last
night. Farms were badly washed.
The sheriff of the County, J. NJ.
Walton, was in his buggy in the low
er part of the County just before the
rain began bringing to Lafayette a
negro prisoner whom he had arrested
and had handcuffed in the buggy with
him. The lightning struck nearby
and knocked the sheriffs horse down.
He was severely shocked himself. He
took the handouts off the negro and
told him to look for a place of safety
and meet him at a certain place in
the morning. while he looked after
himself and his horse.
Both soon recovered from the effects
of the lightning. and are seemingly
none the worse for it. The negro.
who was charged with assault with
intent to murder, turned up at the
appointed place this morning, and the
sheriff brought him to town.

sabis. In India.

There is widespread prejudice
in India against the birth of twins
or triplets, which is supposed to be
natural among animals, not among
human beings, says the Dundee Ad-
vertiser. In former times such
children were killed, though in
some places this was avoided by
making them over to some wander,
ing fakir as disciples. For an In
dian baby the sixth day after its
birth is the most dangerous; hence
Shashti, the goddess Of the SIXTH"
is specially worshiped. This is rath-
er curious when taken with the fact
that surgeons tell us that this is
just the period when infantile lock-
jaw, caused by want of care and
cleanliness, is likely to attack the
child. On this. night fire is kept
burning to light the room, and the
infants bed is surrounded with iron
and other things which are said to
scare evil spirits.

Jerking : Horse.


Once put to and out of doors the
principal evil we shall notice is the
tendency of drivers of wagons, cabs.
aye, and private carriages Us well, to
nag and jerk the horses mouths in
stead of using the voice or the whip.
and 1t appears that this brutal practice
Is on the increase. Some drivers hands
are never still. but it is jerk, jerk, jerk,
all day long, and the appearance of
their horses shows how the suffering
wears upon them, while an inspection
Of their mouths and the way in which
they let go of their bits will disclose
bone and skin bruises and abrasions
of dreadful extent, lacerated tongues
and torn lip corners The lower jaw
of horse is a marvellous structure of
tenderest and thinnest skin, quivering
nerves and acute sensitiveness, and yet
every other vehicle In our streets is
steered by some double listed brute,
who mauls this organ from daylight
to dark. The horror of it! A single
jerk to a horses mouth inflicts far
more acute agony than cutting off six
tails Qf he had them), yet one goes
unpunished and the other is a state
prison offense-or should be. Outing

tn. Effect Of Esar.

Great fear suspends the action of
the salivary glands, and this fact
b utilized for the detection of GRIM
finals by the officers of the law in
India. When man is suspected of
having committed crime he is
obliged to chew dry rice in the pres
ence Of the court. So intense is the
influence Of fear on the glands of
the mouth and throat that if the
person is guilty there is no flow Of
saliva, and mastication is impossi-
BILE. Such culprits usually confess.
On the other hand, if the person is
innocent there is no fear, and the
salivary glands secrete enough sail
va to soften the rice.
