Thunderstorm Statistics.

In the Monthly Weather Review, w.
H. Alexander has published a series
of thirteen charts, showing, for each.
month and for the year. the frequency
Of thunderstorms occurring at the req
ular stations of the weather bureau.
during the ten-year period 1904-1913,i
inclusive. Taking the period as a
whole, he finds two regions of maxi
mum frequency; one over Florida and
the other over northern New Mexico.
The station having the highest rec
ord is Tampa, Fla, with 944 thunder
storms in ten years, or nearly hun
dred a year. Two other Florida sta
tions had more than 500. In the New
Mexico center of high thunderstorm
frequency, Santa Fe is credited with
1872 thunderstorms in ten years. The
fewest storms are recorded at sta
tions on the Pacific coast, especially
in California and Washington, the rec
ord for infrequent thunderstorms be-
ing held by San Francisco, with only
eight in ten years.

Whistle Scared Thieves.

S. Magari's ability to give correct
imitation of a police whistle on his
fingers saved the days receipts of his
restaurant when lone robber entered
and drove him out of the back door.
Get out of here, quick!" the robber
commanded as he entered the front
door of Magari's place, flourishing re-
volver. Magari dropped a pairing
knife and ran for the rear exit. AS
he passed through the door the robber
fired a shot at him. The bullet en-
bedded itself in the door casing.
On reaching the open Magari, with
his fingers to his lips, cut loose with
a shrill whistle SO nearly like the
metal whistles used by policemen that
the robber ran out of the place at top
speed.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

SAW THINGS IN NEW LIGHT
Society Woman Profited by Rectoris
Sensible Remarks on the Subject
of Snobbishness.

'But, my dear Doctor Brown, ''ex-
Claimed Mrs. de Puyster, however ex-
cellent these people may be. you don't
mean that l ought to treat them as
my social equals?"
And why not?" asked the rector.
80 the lady his voice did not seem go
sympathetic as usual.
well. really" she returned, little
embarrassed, 1T seems obvious that
they are different
"The differences you speak of are
mostly petty, silly, and wicked distinc-
lions without real significance. What
clothes man wears, who his father
and mother were, what opportunity for
schooling he had or was denied-do
these things give any intimation or
the mans essential worth or value?
Once, at a fashionable summer re,
sort, sat watching the crowd bathing.
Among them three men were conspi-
cuous. 1t was pleasure to see their
broad shoulders, their deep chests,
their splendid limbs. Finally they
left the water and disappeared into
one of the lighthouses. Presently they
reappeared in overalls! They were
workmen building house near by. To
most of those who saw them, their
physical superiority had vanished un-
der their working clothes.
Some day." continued the doctor,
I'VE shall all lay aside our clothes
and our bodies as we'll. Some who
on earth seemed very impressive with
their fine clothes and their attractive
faces and bodies will then look pitt
fully shriveled and shrunken.
IF you could look into the serv-
ants hall of some great castle and see
the butler refusing to associate with
the stableman, and the cook holding
herself superior to the chambermaids,
it would seem to you utterly silly and
ludicrous for people to make such
ridiculous distinctions! But are they
really more absurd than we when we
make the same kind of distinctions
among our fellows?"
Mrs. de Puyster smiled. 81 suppose
we are absurd" she said.
IF we were only absurd it wouldn't
matter so much,' returned the doctor.
"But it is not simply ludicrous. Snob-
berry isn't minor fault or a venial er-
ror. It's one of the great sins. IL I'm
a snob, it's because in my heart 1 de-
spise my fellow men, and have set
myself up as their superior. l have
repudiated the very heart of the mes
sage of Christ. l have cut myself OF
from the common humanity with which
Christ proudly identified himself. In
asmuch as We have done it unto one OF
the least of these my brethren, We
have done it unto me- means that
Christ actually lives in humble human
kind. For me to be a snob means that
l have cut myself off from humble
humankind-and consequently from
Christ himself! That is a serious
thing!"
Mrs. de Puyster no longer smiled.
"It is a serious thing. It's an awful
thing!" she cried. God be merciful
to me a snob!"-Youth's Companion.

AduIterated Bread.

Whole-meal bread or brown bread Ia

wheat, kernel, germ and bran. It re-
quires greater mastication and has the
advantage of retaining much that -

nothing which is more adulterated. Po-

Rice Culture in Porto Rico.

Experiments in lowland rice culture
recently started in Porto Rico are
arousing much interest there, because
rice is the chief food consumed in
the island. Porto Rico has spent ap-
proximately 100000 annually during
the last four years for this grain, and
is the largest export consumer of
rice.
