Fortunately It did uo harm to any one. although it was unite close to several people. Those who saw It sug gested It was like a ball of cold light ning. In November. l'.Kl'J, Sydney. Austra lia, was visited by a terrific dust storm. In the midst of which a perfect rain of electric 0 e balls began to full. These set (ire lo a number of houses, and a most appalling panic set in A cry was raised that the end of the world was at hand, and people rushed out of their houses into I he ink black, dust deep streets. The most amazing mid terrifying displays of the power of lightning- are seen ou mountains.

Ways of Doing 1 It Are Ver Different. Iu America a speculator's oipjial (Willi all exception to be noted bclmvi Is .necessarily lit least the size of his margin in his broker's hands, though it n to he feared that In only loo many ' Instances it Is Just thl and nothing more. j On I lie Iondon Slock Ilxclninge an- ' other met hod prevails which, says .Moody's Magazine, it is probable tins done more In the long ugo past to give i dock speculation its bad name than all I he episodes of itu unsavory nature ; nlilch have ever occurred on Amerl- : can exchanges. It) London after the inevitable introduction to a broker t lie now customer gives his older, but J :ii:i!:os no dcp-isit at all. Tlie broker is supposed to learn "Hi. 'thing of Ills new cllc'nl's means ; .! (1 bow far lie should be allowed lo ! I'liimit himself. Twice a mouth the , Kngil.-di have what they cull their set- I 'lenient days, , customer long of a ; dock whose coin mit iim-nt lias gone.'

As a conseipnhice of this way of doing business a speculator may be trading on a few, points mar gin hi reality or, Iu hu t on no margin at all. He may lie utterly penniless without the broker knowing It. That this method works out with fewer losses in Kngland than it would do here Is due to the fact that the social and economic strata to which an Liiglishnian belongs are much easier to determine than the corresponding facts a'tnong us. and ulso that an Intro duction means more there thau here, as the Introducer is regarded as to a certain extent responsible morally for Hie business deport ment of his friend. Il is worth while observing land this is the exception referred to abovei that in certain instances the methods pursued in American stock exchange houses are the same as those obtaining in London. Little as Hie fact is know n. It Is not an mifreiiuont custom for very wealthy .vpcfuhitor.s to hnve no fixed margin or even no margin at nil with their iirokers. If a mail of this sort loses on a com mitment lie sends Ills broker a check for Ihe loss. If he wins his brokers remit to him for his gains. The bro ker dis!i:;es lo on'ehd a very powerful client by troubling him for funds, and hence lakes risks with his account which he would not dream of taking wllh the account of smaller meu. In stances of ibis sort sometimes become public iu cases where the broker Is forced lino bankruptcy, whether owing to this cause or not. Could Do For Herself. She was a very delightful but a very aged lady over ninety -and her friends nnd relatives and even chance ac quaintances, drawn by her exquisite personality, all did her homage and. as the saying is, "waited ou her hand and foot." She accepted it all very graciously, but with some Inward rebellion, for to n very old and close mouthed friend she once said, with a uuaint pucker of lips and brows: "1 am reminded sometimes of the old lines: "Twa were blowln' at her nose. And three were buckhn' at her ahoon." Youth's Companion. A Word For the Tightwad. In France they have an expressive phrase, "liiiuid money." It means that part of tbe family Income which is used for the necessities and luxuries of life. It is quite apart from and kept apart from tho more serious, sub stantial part of the income, which is the saved part. In America the entire income is "liquid, and the man who at tempts lo make part of it solid is called a "tightwad." A "tightwad'' Is really a man who creates a princi pal a capita!. In other words and he is the living example of what every private business must be and of how the country's resources should be han dled. Argonaut. Voting In Spain. Voting in Spain is held to be a duty to the community, uot merely a priv ilege of the individual, and neglect of civic obligations carries Us own on alty. Male adults of legal uge and un der seventy, with the exception of priests, notaries and judges, are re quired to vote in municipal elections. Failure to cast a ballot Is punishable by Inning one's name published as censure for neglect, by having taxes increased 2 per cent, by suffering a deduction of 1 per cent In salary if employed In the public service and for Ihe second offense the loss of right to hold elective of appointive ollice. His Landscapes. A.nouveau riehe recently intended a picture sale. A friend who had noticed him ut the sale asked afterward. "Did you pick up anything at that picture salo,NJorklns?" nnd t lie other respond ed: "Oh, yes; a couple of landscapes. One of 'em was a basket of fruit nnd the other a storm nt sen."

Is The Question of Questions The household question-the insistent question everywhere the question which is oftener in human minds than any other whatever, is; "What will it cost Where to get to best advantage when can it be uafforded"--all of these questions, and many more, cluster around the main one "What will it cost?" It's the question of questions and it is the question that gives to the ads. half of their importance. No one, un less an ad. reader, ever knows much about the answer to it. 1
