PERIL OF LIGHTNING.
Rules That Will Help You Avoid Il
Durino a Thunderstorm.


If you are out of doors in very
severe electrical storm the Electrical
Experimental offers the following rules
for your protection:
Keep away from wire fences. They
may carry dangerous electrical
charge long distances. Cattle In pas
lures are frequently killed from the
neglect Of farmers to ground the wire
Of the fence.
Keep away from hedges, ponds and
streams.
Keep away from isolated trees. Oak
trees are frequently struck; beech are
seldom struck. 1t is safe in dense
forest.
Keep away from herds Of cattle and
crowds Of people.
Do not hold an umbrella over you.
1t is safer to sit or lie down in an
open field than to stand.
Drivers should dismount and not
stay close to their horses.
Do not work with any large metal
tool or implement.
If you are indoors:
Keep away from the stove ana Chilli
ney. The hot gases from the chimney
may conduct the lightning to and down
the chimney.
Do not take position between two
bodies of metal, as the stove and wa
ter pipe. for example. An exception
to being near metals Is the case Of an
iron bed. One of the safest places is
on a mattress In an iron bed, provided
you do not touch the metal. The metal
surrounding you makes safe cage
which will prevent the lightning from
reaching a person inside.
Do not stand on a wet floor nor
draw water from the well or faucet.
Do not stand directly under chan
delier. near a radiator nor on regis
ter.
Do not use the telephone.

sALUTINe MOUNT VERNON.
A Tribute Of Respect to The Memory ct
Washington.

IeloOSO OF n0SPOOS 20 SUO u0uuSsJ -
Washington.
When the Mayfower, bearing the
French commissioners to the United
States up the Potomac to Washington,
passed Mount Vernon we were told
by the newspapers that the crew OF
the vessel were drawn up at salute
and the ships bell was tolled. Marshal
Joffre was particularly touched by this
ceremonial, and as the yacht passed
on up the river he walked to the stern
and stood silently watching the old
mansion until it was hidden from view.
What the newspapers did not tell US
and what many Americans do not
know is that the ceremony that so I'M
pressed our distinguished visitors has
been for great many years prescribe
ed by the naval regulations. No Unit
ed States ship Of war may pass Mount
Vernon without paying that tribute OF
respect to the memory Of Washington.
As the vessel approaches the beauh-
full old place the commander orders
the bugler to Sound to quarters"
The crew, officers and men hurry to
their places, the word passes to form
along the side Of the ship that faces
Mount Vernon and to stand at atten-
ton. As the ship comes abreast OF
the mansion the command "Salute!
rings out. Every man raises his right
hand to his cap and holds 1t there
while the ships bell tolls twenty one
times, once for each gun Of the ma
tiOnal salute.
Sound the retreat!' comes the order
as the last stroke Of the bell trembles
into silence, and the bugle sends Its
plaintive notes across the water to the
tree clad slopes of Mount Vernon, from
which the echo faithfully repeats them
to the ship.
It is a charming ceremony, simple,
yet indescribably moving. no matter
how often one sees it.-Youth's Com
panion.

sHUN WATER HEMLocK.
Il 10 q Deadly Plant and cns Not Cen
orally Recognized.

MANY deaths, both Of human beings
and domestic animals. are causea
every year by cicuta. or water nem-
lock, a poisonous plant. 1t is the most
violently poisonous of temperate re-
gion plants, yet it is not generally rec
opnized. Learn to know it and look
out for it. A warning has been issued
by the specialists of the United States
department of agriculture In the form
of circular from the bureau Of animal
industry, "Cicuta (water hemlock) as
a Poisonous Plant" which describes
this plant and gives remedies, though
cases among domestic animals must
be considered as practically hopeless
so far as treatment is concerned.
Cicuta is widely distributed. Unfor-
tunately 1t resembles a number OF
harmless plants and is not easily rec
ognizable. 1t belongs to the same lam
fly as carrots and parsnips. 1t has
number of popular names, Of which
the most common is "cowbane," or
"water hemlock." The plant grows In
wet places and is especially common
In some parts of the west along frri-
eating bitches. 1t has q thickened
root stock, with roots which sometimes
take the form of group Of tubers
The cicuta is most readily distinguish
al from, plants of similar appearance
grew .n- under the same conditions by
the transverse chambers In the root
stock. These can be seen by making
q longitudinal section.
Only the root Of cicuta is poisonous.
Cases Of poisoning are more frequent
In the spring, partly because the roots
are more likely to be noticed at that
time and partly because they appear
to be more poisonous then than later
in the season. In cases Of the poison
ing of human beings the recognized
treatment is to give an efficient emetic.
followed by a cathartic. Some form
of opium may be given to control the
commissions when they are violent. IL
free vomiting is promptly produced
the patient is likely to recover.
Perhaps there is no way to prevent
some cases of poisoning Of children.
Something might be accomplished,
however, IL parents and teachers
would attempt to make clear to chill
dren the danger of eating strange
roots.

"e,;nd Alley Jobs.

Vacations that lead boys nowhere in
particular are in Canada called blind
alley jobs" and the name is a fitting
one. The inspector Of the Ottawa pub

port that SO per cent of boys leaving
those institutions gravitate toward po-
sitions that require little skill and Of
fer little hope of advancement. A
similar discovery might be made in
any large city of the Dominion or in
any considerable community Of the

Velvet.

Velvet was developed and originated
In China. Thence velvet making was
introduced into India and In the four
teenth century into Italy. where that
sort of fabric especially appealed and
where the art Of velvet making reach
ed its height. 1t is said that velvet
was first inspired by fur and that 1t
was in order to make silken fabric
on the same order as fine fur that man
first set his wits about to invent this.
