Marvellous ESCAPE From Death.

During a thunderstorm in Deal, Eng
land, Minnie Rogers, seventeen years
old, was walking along one of the
small back streets of the town carry
ing a number of umbrellas, ETC., when
a vivid flash OF lightning, evidently
attracted by the steel frame of one of
the umbrellas she was holding, ripped
open her own umbrella, struck her,
and threw her violently to the ground.
There was only one man in the street
at the time, and he assisted her to
rise. Strangely enough, when she
had done so she found that all her
clothes, umbrellas and cap were per-
fectly dry, whereas before she had
been drenched, for the rain poured
down in torrents. Her description of
her feelings was: 81 felt just as
though my head had been stung by
wasp. there was a singing noise In
my ears, and l seemed to see bright
light, like the sun, shining through my
umbrella" With the exception of her
hair being slightly singed, she sustain
ed no injury.

NOT AFRAID OF THE RABIES
Dog Catcher Says He Has Never Seen
Mad Dog-People Get
Excited.

Here is the testimony of a dog
hatcher who has been in the business
fifteen years and been bitten more
than one hundred and twenty-five
times:
Afraid of 'em? Not me. I've never
yet seen mad dog. Maybe there are
some. Maybe there amt. l don't
know. All / know is that although
I've seen squad of frothing dogs,
and dogs running around that looked
mad, and I've been bitten goodness
knows how many times, I've yet to see
real mad dog.
I'm not afraid of rabies because
believe most of what you hear about
mad dogs is just pifle. People get ex-
cited and go into a panic when a
thirsty dog begins to froth' in the
mouth. He wants a drink. There
ought to be drinking places for dogs.
There are few, but in some sections
of the city there is no place dog can
get a drink, and he needs it on a hot
day as bad as man.
