missed on experience that will doubt
less should he ever pass through It odd
several (rrny hnlrs to his head. To mo
a thunderstorm back east held no so
cial terrors, and frequently I have been
out In such a demonstration without
feeling any especial nervousness. Up
here on the Rocky mountains things
are different, and I confess now to live
In awful, abject terror of a thunder
storm, especially nt night. In my tent.
suffer tills terror notwithstanding
the fact that so far tho storms have in
every instance except one gone around
or beneath us without even raining
enough to wet the ground. But it Is the
"going around and beneath" that gets
on to my nerves. In the first place im
agine what It Is to be 0110 and one-linir
miles nearer a rip roaring thunder
storm thrtn one Is nt rtttsburg. There
you have occasional flashes of lightning;
here it Is one continuous, dazzling,
awe Inspiring performance. The light
ning strikes, too, for it is no uncommon
thing during n storm to hear the rocks
splintering and cracking where one es
pecially vigorous bolt hns landed.
Add to this nerve racking exhibit the
most awful detonations of thunder that
you can Imagine and a "straight blow
ing" wind that sometimes makes the
(laps of your lent play n ragtime mel
ody, and you have some Idea of a
mountain thunderstorm. The thunder
Is worse than the sound of a mighty
battle. It bangs up against the moun
tain side and reverberates and rolls off
Into one ear splitting concussion after
another until you, lying quaking In
your tent, fully believe that the next
"boom" will split the mountain 11 ml
valley in twain and land you In China
or some other seaport town.
I lay one night and with chattering
teeth counted five distinct thunder
storms come up to the edge of the pla
teau on which my tent stands and
each time go through with an electrical
performance thnt would give a Btone
man a dumb ague, and through it all
not a cupful of water fell on my tent.
Later on In the night, when I had
about regained something like my
usual majestic calm of mind. It began
to rain steadily, and the thunder nud
lightning didn't even whisper. They
had doubtless gone off down the can
you, scaring some other poor tenderfoot
half out of his wits. These electrical
displays are not seemingly much dread
ed by the peoplo who live In high alti
tudes. They comfortingly declare that
a tornado or cyrloue Is unknown In the
mountains. But sometimes these moun
tain storms go off through a canyon to
the foothills and the platns. Then
there Is something doing. Pittsburg

' The Lea-end of Roquefort Cheese.
Roquefort cheese, like many other
unique food productions, has Ha legend
of accidental origin. A shepherd lad,
having for once more luncheon than be
could eat, while, tending his flock of
sheep, laid a large portion of his bread
and cheese upon a natural shelf In one
of the caverns nearby. Boylike, ha
forgot all about It until several months
later on returning to thnt cavern ho
found his luncheon. The cheese. In
stead of being dried up or rotten, was
rich, moist and creamy and streaked
with greenish blue veins of mold, the
remains of the bread which had lain
on or under It. He probably told his
mother of his discovery and shared his
piece of cheese with others. The vil
lagers were quick to recognize the Im
proved texture and quality of the
cheese, and henceforth all their cheeses
were taken to these caves to ripen.
Tho caves are owned by a Joint stock
company, who employ about six hun
dred vomen to tend the cheese. Oak
shelves on which the cheeses are placed
and so arranged that each cheese may
have one side next the cold wall of tho
cave give over 60,000 square yards of
storing room.
Com Wore Thnn Bulls.
It Is said that the Spanish bullfighter
refuses to face a cow, as being so much
more dangerous. A bull makes a blind
rush nt bis assnllnnt, and this a little
knowledge und experience will soon en
able nn active man to avoid, but a cow
fences with her horns with a skill and
quickness unexpected In such an appar
ently clumsy animal, and a man must
be active Indeed who can avoid the re
peated attacks of an angry cow.
The bull. In a state of nature, fights
to obtain the mastery of the herd and
not to kill, but the cow only to protect
her offspring, and, lu her case, there is
no quarter given. It would not be to the
advantage of the herd that tbe bulls
should kill each other In determining
which was tho stronger, and therefore
they do not use their horns as lethal
weapons, but it Is, on the other hnud,
greatly to the advantage of the calves,
and so of the future of tbe herd, that
all enemies that dare to attack them
should be slain.
Overstated.
In a well known Lancashire town
there resides a man who Is about as
careful of a shilling or two as a man
can well be and appear anything like
decent. He Is In business. In comfort
able circumstances, and, being thrifty,
honest and Industrious, he was consid
ered quite tbe most eligible bachelor
of tho neighborhood notwithstanding
his painful exactness lu matters finan
cial. He finally married a widow worth
in her own right some 15,000, and
shortly after tho ceremony an old
friend met hi in.
"Allow me." he said, "to congratu
late yon. Your wedding was worth a
clear 13.000 to yon."
"No," he replied; "not quite so much."
"Indeed! I thought there was every
Denny of 15,000 In it."
"Oh, no." said the Benedict; "I had
to pny f'J 12s. (Id. for the marriage li
cense!" London Answers.
Onlr Jnr of Its Kind.
Horace Walpolo told a lively story of
an old porcelain vender who had an
exceedingly rare and valuable Jar on
which he set 1111 almost fabulous price.
One hot summer a slight volcanic shock,
such as the British occasionally expe
rience. Jogged his bouse about his ears
and spilt Ills porcelain vase. To an or
dinary mind the accident would have
been calamitous, but the china seller
rose superior to fortune. He doubled
tho prico of the article Immediately
and advertised It as "the only Jar In
the world which had been cracked by
an earthquake." Nothing very slow
about that; whether ho got his money
is not added, but certainly he deserved

The Cossnek's Whip.
Teoplo who are unacquainted with
Russia and who read of street disturb

sacks with their whips have little Idea
of what formidable weapons these aro.

fine point, they are triangular lu

French Deerds.
M. Maxlme du Camp says In "Sou
venirs LI tt era Ires" that after tbe revo
lution of July, In 1830, tbe politics of
Frenchmen were known by their
beards. Supporters . Louis Philippe
wore "mutton chop" whiskers, Bona
partlsts had mustaches and Imperials,
Republicans did not shave at all, and
Legitimists wore their beards like
collar, with shaved lips and chin.
Embarrassing;.
A Missouri editor Is responsible for
fhe assertion that at a recent church
entertainment In his town the master
of ceremonies made tbe announcement
that "Miss Bates will sing, 'O That
I Had an Angel's Wings That I Might
Rise and Fly,' accompanied by tbe min
ister." Chicago Chronicle.

AN fiQODE OF THE. DEAD.
Not n I mclerr, nut the Great Brit
ish Must-um.
To any that the British museum Is a
dead museum may sou ml like flat blas
phemy to those old habitues of the In
stitution 10 whom its atsmosphpre Is al
most the breath of their life and to
whom Its treasures of ' antiquity mid
art are certainly the nourishment of
their minds and souls. But apart from
this little baud of devout worshipers at
the shrine of learning tbe British mu
seum seems to me quite dead as dead
as a door null. I have been there many
a time, and I went there again and
walked through long and silent galler
ies peopled only by the gods of Egypt,
India. China, of ancient Greece and
Home and thronged only by those won
derful works of sculpture wrought by
cunning hands long crumbled Into the
dust of past ages, but whose spirit of
beauty und reverence still lingers lu
these heroes and heroines of old re
nown. In some of the rooms one may see a
few nursemaids relieving the tedium of
their dally walk through Bloomsbitry
by bringing their little charges to the
museum, where they may amuse them
selves and get material for bad dreams
while the nurses themselves have a
quiet gossip.
In the holiday season also one may
see troops of Americans pnsslng swiftly
through the galleries, "doing" the mu
seum with wonderful dispatch mid
commenting with western levity upon
the relics of ancient civilization and
the bones of prehistoric men.
But tlie Londoner does not come. 1 he
time that be can spare from lunch hour
he devotes to a walk up Cheapslde. the
Strand or Holborn, "to look at ihe
shops." The day's work done, lie t:il:os
the first train home. On a Snturd ly
afternoon he prefers 11 matinee. 11 gn:ne
of tennis or cricket or 11 few hours on
the river. I do not blame him nltogr:h.
er. but the fact remains that the Brit
ish museum Is to him on abode of 'he
dead, which be regards with the seine
repugnance as a tomb. Philip Oihbs In
London Mail.
FARMER IN WINTER TIME.
PJteadr Jobs Art Feeding; the Stnuk
and Keeping; Wnrm.
The great steady winter Jobs on an
American farm In the north nowadays
are feeding the stock and keeping
warm. And keeping warm nowadays
means hauling coal. When 1 lived In
tbe country, It meant cutting wood, tt
meant for our large family constant
teaming day after day from the woods
to the wood yard and a wood pile flint
must have covered a quarter of nn
acre. It meant toward spring the com
ing of men with a horse powor mid
buzz saw to cut firewood, and thnt was
almost as Interesting nn operation as
thrashing.
There were other stirring days when
the lake had frozen bard and the i re
house was filled. Involving Ice cutting
and more teaming nnd more precarious
bitching on behind loads and going
back In empties. And early In the win
ter there was the momentous nnd gory
killing of pigs. Oh, thnt was indeed a
stirring time! They kill a pig every
second, no doubt. In Chicago now
adays, but that Is mere mechanleal
routine, with no quality of sport In It.
There was nothing so very slow
about the country winter In days as
late as the civil war. I suppose soup-
making as a domestic Industry Is us
dead as household spinning. In thine
times of wood fires and wood ashes all
self respecting families made soap.
Our family had an outstanding klti li
en expressly for that use, with a big
cistern-like hogshead behind It lu which
ashes were leached and convenient
tubs for holding the soft soap. A Very
handsome substance is soft soap of the
proper consistency and complexion, and
a pleasing exercise It used to he for
the young to stir it with a stick and
watch Its undulations. All the super
fluous fat of meat from our kitchen
was turned Into soft soap in those near
by old times. Harper's Magazine.
The Ilndver's Dlicclna; Ability.
' The sportsman uaturallst, St. John,
one day found a badger In a trap not
much Injured. Tying a rope to Its hind
leg, he drove tbe uulnial home strung
to say. the captive beast Jogging stei;q
lly along In front of htm and giving
little more trouble than a pig going to
market. On reaching home the animal
was put for the night into a paved
court, where it seemed rfectly secure.
"Next morning," said St. John, "he was
gone, having displaced a stone that I
thought him quite Incapable of moving,
and then, digging under tbe wall, he
got away."

Growth of the llumnn Hrart.
A scientific analysis of the growth of
the human heart demonstrates the fact
that the Increase Is greatest nnd tin st
rnpld during tho first und second yenrs
of life, Its bulk nt tho end of the 'C-
ond ypnr being exactly double what It
originally wns. Between the second
and seventh yenrs It Is again doubled
In size. A slower rate of growth then
sets In and continues during the peri 1
of maturity of other portions of the
body. After the fifteenth yenr up to
tho fiftieth the annual growth of Ihe
heart Is about .001 of n cubic Inch,
the Increase ceasing about the fiftieth
year.

A Port's Pastime.
It was not. only as n boy that Words
worth, Shod with steel, hissed along the polished
Ice.
He was 11 skater of skill In his man
hood. "A girt skater; noan better In
these parts." was the testimony of a
Dales man, quoted by Canon Bawns
ley In bis "Lnko Country Sketches."
On one occasion the poet went ' by
himself to figure a bit upon tbe White
Moss tarn, and 11 man sent a boy to
sweep the snow from the Ice for him.
When tbe boy returned from bis labor,
the man asked:
"Well, did Mr. Wudsworth gle ye
owt?"
"Nny." rejoined the boy, with a grin
of content from cor to ear. "I seed
htm tuniiiile tho'."
But the lad. who bad thought tbe
tumble a fair equivalent for a tip, bad
been much Impressed by tbe quiet way
In which Wordsworth had borne bis
fall. Ills skate had caught In a stone
when he wns In full swing, nnd be
came down with n crnsh.
"lie didn't swear nor say nowt," said
the boy, "hut he just sot up an' said,

Climatic Cures.
Tho Influence of climatic conditions
In thn euro of consumption Is very much
overdrawn. The poor patlont, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
homo by proper attention to food di
gestion, and a regular use of German
Syrup. Froo expectoration In the
morning Is mado certain by German
Syrup, so Is a good night's rest and tbe
absence of that weakening cough and
debilitating night r. swoat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger and
dread of tho consumptive, can be pre
vented or stopped by taking German
Syrup liberally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer clime,
you will find that of the thousands of
consumptives there, the few who are
benefitted and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial bottles,
