with lace covered rullles and flounces

Although it has loug been known to
every person of any observation or in
telligence that a tree is tho very worst
plaoe to go to for rofuge during a
thunder storm, a large proportion of
fatalities and injuries reported from
lightning continue to come from those
wbo seek its shelter. At Taunton and
near New York City several persons
havo beeu seriously burned or killed
by lightning, all of whom had run un
der the branches of a tree to escape
tha storm. Few are tho exceptions V

A Python Takes a Vacation.
George F.thtdhcrt Walsh, describing
tho animals in Central Parle Meuag
cr'o iu Kt. Nicholas, says:
Not a great while ego a hugepythoa
snake escaped from his cage
crawled away into some obscure placo
iu tho park. As soou as tho discovery
was made a general alarm was given,
uud every visitor deserted the vicinity
of tho menagerie, while the keeper,
started out in search for the monster.
For eix months nothing was heard or
soeu of the snake, although floors wero
torn up, nud every nook in the park
was examined. The python had eaten
a hearty meal before his escape, but at
the end of tho six mouths hunger
forood him from his hiding place, and
ho was discovered one day by tho
watchman. Tho bravo man threw his
coat over ttio snake's hea I, and clung
to his neck until help came in reply
to his loud shouts. The Uuijo reptile
had crawled to the roof of the snake.
house, and right under this lie had
found a buug hiding place for six
months.
