It was a quick, brave deed, and had
the hero been a British soldier it would
have brought him a Victoria cross to

During the sepoy war a young cap

Thunderstorms. t
Do net imagine that because a heavy
tbuaderstorni is tsr away to leeward
it is not likely to arise and wet you.
Even if the wind is blowing right
against the cloud it will come your way
all the more surely, for thunderstorms
always travel against the wind.
The reason for this is that there is
invariably a countereunvnt of air
above the breeze that yon feel close to
the earth, and this sky high wind blows
in the opposite direction to the one
which alone you can detect. Thus the
tempest sums to work its way right
through the wind's eyes in a very con
trary sort of way.
Fog uevtr does this; neither does
ordinary rain at least very seldom
but snow or sleet some time works its
w.ay up wind just as the temjiet does.
Sheet lightning, Ly the way, is not a

Where They Are Hated by Lottery.
It was a cynic who said that mar
riage is a lottery, but iu the province
of Smolensk, in Russia, this aphorism
has been reduced to a quarterly fact,
for four times a year there is held the
most remarkable lottery ever devised.
A charge of a ruble is made for a
ticket, only one prize is to be drawn,
and it consists of the entire sum yielded
by the sale of the tickets amounting to
i.000 rubles. The lucky winner of the
prize is bound to marry a certain dam
sel if he takes the 5.0o0 rubles.
Should he be married he is at liberty to
turn over tbo money and the lady to
any friend whom lie may wish to put
iu for such a good thing. Should the
lady, however, refuse to marry the win
ner they ure allowed to divide the ra
bies between them.

I'ses For Cork.
Among the many articles made from
cork waste is the familiar cork grip for
bicycle handks. By a secret process
tbe waste is pressed into the required
shajie, and, strange to say, the grips thus
made are fetronger and more durable
than those manufactured from cork
wood, although the latter gives a much
smoother finish. Cork slabs for insulat
ing purposes life preservers cork soles
and insoles and penholders are ab
niadu from cork waste. It is very large
ly used for a filler in the lining of cold
storage and ice houses, since cork is a
nonconductor of beat
Another and a unique use cf cork is
that to which it is put in the interior
ironwork aud plates of ironclads and
steamers between the bottom of the ves
sel and tbe second or false floor in order
to prevent rust. The interior surface of
the ironwork is coated with paint, and
while the latter is still wet it is pow
dered with cork dust in the same way
that wood is sanded, to resemble stone.
The waste sometimes takes the place of
asbestos in covering steam pipes Both
cork wood and waste make a very de
sirable handle or grip for fish poles,
which is a comparatively recent idea

A Dry Salt Bath.
A dry salt lath is said to tone up tbe

anything do mo so much good," says a
woman who has tried it this spring.
"When my fancy began to turn serious
ly to that tired feeling with budding
trees and buzzing bees which it does
every year as surely as the youth's does
to love, my physician advised me to
give tonics the go by and to try instead
dry salt baths. I nearly filled a large
earthen jar with the coarsest salt I could
get and added enough water to this to
make a sort of thick salt paste, but uot
enough to dissolve the mineral. Every
morning when I get up I take this up
iu handfuls and rub it briskly over my
body. Next I jump into a tub of clear,
cold water ai;d take a thorough dous

done, I take a brisk rub down with a

Cans For Battleships.
It appears that the tendency in the
British and the United States navies Sa
to reduce the number of guns and to in
crease their arcs of fire aud also to have
no guns above fl inch caliber for sap
porting the 12 or 13 inch. This method
of decreasing the number and caliber of
guns is an ideal theory for reducing
weights but ships are built to carry
guns and to fight, and it would socm
better to reduce weights elsewhero than
ia the battery and ammunition.
In an engagement between battleships
of similar armor and displacement
which one will probably be the victor?
There can be but one answer. It will be
the one that effectively delivers the
greatest amount of 6teel against the oth
er ship. During the engagement each
fchip will necessarily lose the nso of nu
merous guns and men, and therefore the
ship that carries the larger number of
guns and that has a reserve force of men
below in p. elected places for filling the
vacancies at the remaining guns will
certainly have the advantage, and some
obscure guns that are generally locked
upon with disfavor on account of their
small arcs of fire may, at the critical
moment when their companions of larger
aria are dismounted, become the nieaua
of insuring victory. Lieutenant E. W.
Eberle, U. & N., in Cassier's Magazine.
Meals In F ranee.
The French are very temperate in
food and drink, a cup of coffee with a
piece of bread being considered quite
sufilciwit until noon, when the dejeuner
a la fourchette is served. This consists
of a first course of eggs or macaroni, a
second of one chop each or stew, and a
third of fruit aud cheese. Plenty of
bread (always good in France) is eaten
during the meal, but butter rarely, and
a glass or two of wine diluted with wa
tT, but never iced or sweetened, is
drunk by each memler of the family,
including tho children. Dinner, usually
at 7 o'clock, is a little more elaborate
meal, from which soup and a salad are
seldom omitted, and black coffee is
often served with cognac at the cud.
Owing to the fact that so much chicory
is used French coffee is not much to the
taste of Anglo-Saxons I have never yit
had what'l call a cup of "good" coffee
iu France, whereas in Vienna and Mu
nich it is simply delicious Coffee be
ing very dear in France (60 cents per
pound for good quality) may account
for the excessive use of chicory. What

Social Mistakes.
Perhaps the greatest of all social mis
takes is to be continually talking about
oneself. There is no word in all the
vocabulary of conviTsation so tedious to
others as that personal pronoun "L"
Though one of tho smallest words in
use, there is none that takes up more
roora in the everyday world. "I" is a
bore. It is better not to meatim his
name of tencr than ran be avoided. An
other social folly is "gush." 'Jere is
an insincere ring about it True, there
are people who gush from sheer good
nature in wishing to give pleasure, yet
they should remember that evan amiable
exaggeration is like a coarse sugar plum,
agreeable at first, but leaving a doubt
ful taste in the mouth afterward.
On the other hand, there is a certain
class of people in society who are equal
ly foolish in going to the other extrnme.
They feign indifference about everybody
and every thing, seldom expresskig either
interest or 'admiration. They think it
"bad form" to show any pleasure in
life, and a sign of superiority to be in
capable of enthusiasm. A social folly
is t imagine that people are always
looking at or thinking of yon. Such
ideas are often the offsprings of cmceit.
As a matter of fact, the people very
often look at yon without seeing or
thinking of you. They have other things
to think of. If we could only iwviuce
ourselves that we are not always the
pivot of our friends' and acquaintances'
thoughts, there would bo fewer hurt
feelings and imaginary grievances

which may be anything between 10 and
40 miles a secoud..If they come near
enough to this earth to be attracted by
it, their course is changed, and present

The Bine Bole of Kentucky.
One of the places in our neighborhood
which is shunned aliko by saint and
sinner is the old spring near our town,
in Logan county, known as. the Blue
bole. Though legendary, the tory I
shall relate of this spring is true, for it
has been corroborated by the former
generation, by the older men of the
present century. According to this
story, when the Shaker village at South
Union was first established by a few
venturesome though hardy pioneers a
member of the sect was dispatched on
horseback to put the money in a safe in
tbe county capital.
When the treasure bearer reached the
spring, he rode his horse in to give it
water, but rider and animal were swal
lowed up. never to ris again. It is said
that the Shaker's friends used as much
as 600 feet cf rope ia an attemt to re
cover the body and coin, but never
struck bottom. I myself have heard old
men siy tbey have tried to find the bot
tom cf the spring by using hundreds of
fitt of card aud a lead sinker, but with
out success Auburn (Ky.) News

see what was the matter,
i "There is xome one swinging a lan
tern across the track," said the en
gineer, and the crew went ahead to in
vestigate, "We can't find any one," reported
the rear brakeman, and the engineer
palled out again, but be went slowly,
and in a few minutes he stepped "gain.
Tho crew went ahead once more to see
what was tbe cause of the light Tbo
conductor, who was a good shot, drew his
revolver and at the second shot he made
at the mysterious light there was a crash,
a scream and the light went oat and
something white came fluttering down
from the clouds
The superstitious engineer was scared.

to tho conductor, with his face palo as

that a wnall boy with a lantern tied to

Queer Fnneral Mistakes la Mai oe.
There have been some queer mistakes
made of all kinds, but this is cue cf
the most unusual and undesirable, al
though no real harm was done: A man,
one tunc prominent in professional life
of this city, died, ne was a member of
a certain society in this city, which
sent representatives to tho f uncraL The
members of the organization were noti
fied of the death cf their fellow mem
ber by postal cards sent out by tbe sec
retary. One of the cards was addrt-ss-d
to and delivered at the late residence of
the dead niemlier, inviting him to at
tend his own obsequies
A similar incident was, if anything,
worse. A meniler of a secret wxiety
died and his fellows were notified of
his death and the time and place of the
funeral, as u.nal. A ard was delivered
at tho address of tho dead mau, directed
to him in hi own handwriting. Ho
had-been the st-cretary of the organiza
tion and had addressed sets of postal
cards to the members at his leisure.
When a member died, a net of the ad
dressed cards were sent to the printer,
who printed the name of the deceased
member on the back with the other
matter used in the notice. So when the
secretary died bis assistant or successor
sent a set of the cards to the printer,
so that tbe dead man was sent one ad
dressed by his own hand. Portland

"Tell her majesty," replied John, in
his usual Doric, "that I am rinuin a
