Trees ind Lightning, It Is not generally known that tbe electric fluid which li prevalent during ! thunderstorms baa a varying ufflnlty for different trees. M. Cauillle Flum- j million, the furaous French scientist, j once Investigated tbo proportion of I trees struck In France during recent years, and bis figures show that the lime Is tbe safest and tbe oak tbe most dangerous tree under which to stand In a thunderstorm. During the period cov ered by M, Plnmmnrlon's inquiry only two limes wore struck, six pines and the same number of ash and beech trees. After Unit cuuie seven willows, ten lira, eleven walnuts, fourteen elms, twenty-four poplars and tlfty-four oaks. The Bauer of Austria. Tbe most Interesting of Austrian types and tbe backbone of the dual monarchy is the bauer In social rank he occupies somewhat tbe sume posi tion as the old Eugllsb yeoman, farm ing his owu land and In many casus enjoying a far more substantial fortune thau the nobility. Tbe bauer has a strict social code of his own, mixing neither with the laborers on one bund nor tbe uristocracy on the other, Is apparently guile content with his lot ii lid takes pride In bis ability to pro vide u I most nil the necessaries of life from the productions of his own land, even, In many cases, growing tbe flux from which bis women folk weave all tbe household clothing. - London Mail. It Told the Truth. A countryman on a visit to Glasgow while walking alotig Argyll street reading tbe signbourds and tbe tickets In tbe shop windows said to his com panion: "Eloo can a' time bam shops be the best and cheapest? Every yln o' them says that, and the same wl' the clothes shops tue. They are jlst a lot o' leeurs." Tbey continued along the street un til, coming opposite a plumber's shop with a big bill in tbe window witb the words "Cast Iron Sinks" printed in large letters on It, he exclaimed: "Well, Jock, here's yln that tells the truth at ony rate. But any danged fool kens that cast Iron wad sink." Bats Iniide Bamboo, The cutting down of a clump of bam boos In tbe royal botanical gardens, Singapore, shows that the hollows In the stems of these plants may afford a dwelling place for bats. On tbe split ting of a joint three bats (lew out. and It was perceived that others were with in. Cure was taken to prevent fur ther escape, and later examination of the Joint revealed the presence of twenty-three hats tn the hollow. Four of these were adult females and nineteen young ones Other bamboo Joints were nlso fouud to contain a number of buts. This particular species of bamboo Is known as Verpertigo pachypus. Lon don Mull Hard to Kill. A crocodile's tenacity of life is most remarkable. "I remember one time." says a traveler In India, "I was with a shooting party on tbe Ganges when the natives brought in a six foot croco dile. They hoped some one would want to buy It, but no one did, so It was de termined to ktll the creature. It was hauled out of tbe tank and tied to a tree. Bullets from a small rifle or an ordinary gun seemed only to Irritate tbe saurian, uor did he seem to care very much when a native thrust a spear down his throat. Finally they were obliged to dispatch him with axes. Even then tbe tall thrashed about for no little time after." Table Mountain, At Capetown, in South Africa, where the travehr usually has the flnt glimpse o the continent. Is Table mountain, n magnificent natural curi osity which rises behind tbe city to the height of inmost 4.000 feet and has a level top a'mut three square miles In area. Its resemblance to a huge tuble is so marl ed that the dense clouds which collect at times around tbe sum mit are referred to as tbe tnbleoloth. A pretty IWIe flower which Is found nowhere else on earth grows on top. while on tl northern side of Its base Is a similarly rare tree, populurly cull ed the sllv' leaf tree.-I.lverpool Mer cury. KINDNESS. Do you wish the world were happy) Then remember day by day Just to scatter seeds ol kindness As you pass along the way. For the pleasures of the many May be ofttimes traced to one, As the hand tht plants the scorn Shelters armies Irom the sun. CHAS. H. FRANCIS, M.D.;C.M MAUPIN, OREGON Mem.

"Some of the distinctions of life are very puzzling to me," said Mrs. Gaddy. "Indeed," said Professor Pundit; "what, for example?" "When you write everything bud and menu In a nmn's life In a hook for everybody to read It's biography, but when you tell the same things to n few people on u front porch It's gossip." Exchange.

Her friends had asked their young hostess to play for them, and she was performing a difficult selection frota Wagner. In the midst of It she sud denly stopped In confusion. "What's ths matter?" asked one of the visitors, "I-I struck a false note," faltered ths performer. "Well, what of It?" cried another guest "Go ahead. Nobody but Wag ner would ever know It, and he's dead." Ladles' Uouis Journal. Cams as He Went. Jackson and Johnson are not now on speaking terms. It all arose as the re. suit of an argument which required some mental calculation. "I tell you," said Jackson, "that you are altogether wrong In your conclu sions." "Pardon me, but I am not," replied Johnson. "Didn't I go to school, stupid?" al most roared bis opponent. "Yes," was tbe calm reply, "and you came back stupld."-London Tlt-BlU. Resist Melanoholy. Never give way to melancholy. Re sist it steadily, for the habit will en croach. I once gave a lady two and twenty recipes against melancholy. One was a bright fire; another to re member all the pleasant tbipgs said to and of her; another to keep a box of sugar plums on the chlmneyptece and a kettle simmering on tbe hob. I thought this mere trifling at the mo ment, but have In after life discovered bow true it Is that these little pleasures often banish melancholy better than higher or more exalted objects; that no means ought to be thought too trilling which can oppose It either in ourselves or otbers.-Sydney Smith. Dickens and the Theater. Charles Dickens was a great patron of tbe theater. He allowed himself one night to be taken to the play by a friend wbo was Interested In the piece which happened to occupy the boards. Tbe uiuu in charge of the door would not admit them without payment, but ufter awhile the authoritative official wos found and the necessary permis sion secured. The perforumnce unfor tunately proved to be very dull, but the famous novelist endured It with stoical calmness, in leaving, however, he stared about blm and remarked, with simple pathos: "1 nm looking for that kind hearted man who was not for letting us In. 1 should like to give blm a shilling " Franklin as s Swimmer. In 1720 Benjamin Franklin was working as a printer at Watts', near Lincoln Inn Fields, and taught two shopmates to swim, "at twice going Into the river." With them and some of their friends from the country he paid a visit by water to Chelsea, and "tn our return." he recorded, "at the request of the company, whose curiosi ty Wygute hud excited, I stripped and leaped into tbe river and swam from near Chelsea to Blackfrlars, perform ing on the way many feats of activity, both upon and under the water, that surprised and pleased those to whom the performances were novelties." London Tatler. Pipes, Coffee and the Orient. In the "Arabian Nights' Entertain ments," which are said to be such faithful pictures of oriental manners, there Is no mention of the pipe. Neither is coffee to be met witb In those tales, so delightful to all ages. We with difficulty imagine an oriental without bis chibouk, and yet It Is certain they knew nothing of this luxury before the sixteenth century. At present, such is the almost imperious necessity felt by the Turk for smoking and coffee that as soon as the gun announces tbe set ting of tbe sun during the fast of the Ramadan, before be thinks of satisfy ing his craving stomach vltl iiy solid food, he tukes bis cup of r (Tee and lights his pipe. Philadelphia Inquirer. Small Causes of War. Nine hundred years ago a dispute be tween Modena and Bologna over a well bucket began a war which devastated Europe. A Chinese emperor once went to war over tbe breaking of a teapot; Sweden and Poland flew at each other's throats in 11154 because tbe king of Sweden discovered that bis name in nn official dispatch was followed by only two etceteras, while the king of Polund's hud three. The spilling of a glaBS of water over the Marquis de Torey led to war between France and England, and a small boy, by throwing a pebble at the Due de Guise, led to the massacre of Vassy and tbe thirty years' war. A CHEERFUL FACE. Ne xl to the sunlight of heaven is s cheerlul face. There is no mis taking it. The bright eye, the un clouded brow, the unny smile, all tell of that which dwells within. Who has not felt its electrifying in fluence? One glance at this face lifts us out of the mists and shadows into the beautiful realms of hope. One cheerful face in the household will keep everything warm and light within. Ah, there is world ol magic tn the cheerful face! B.D.

"1 can't help It if I'm not perfect" he sighed. "I never beard of but one perfect boy anyway." "Wbo was that?" asked his mother, thinking to point a moral. "Papa," came the silencing reply, "when be was little." Exchange. Roman Ruins In Switzerland. Near Basel-Augst, in Swltserland, Is tbe site of the old Roman colony of Augusta rtuurica, witb remains of a theater, and at the uearby town of Itheiufulden are walUjjtnd towers part ly preserved, for thlswas one of the outposts ot the Holy Itomnn Empire. It has belonged to Switzerland only since 1S02 and is picturesque, like the ma jority of the towns on the Kbine. Switzerland's Capital. Tbe quaint city of Berne has been the capital of the Swiss republic since 1S4S. It Is one of the most interesting towns of Europe for its numerous me dieval features. It was founded In 1101 by a duke of Zuhrlngen. and by I2N8 it was strong enough to ward off two sieges by Rudolph of Hapsburg, the ancestor of tbe present emperor of Austria. Elephants of India. Commercially, elephants in India come under two classes tbe one ot pageantry, tbe other of utility. Every native prince or nobleman of distinc tion in India keeps elephants to swell his retinue, while, on the other band, government officials and private per sons, such as timber contractors, etc., require them for work. Not So Very Wrong. "Spell ferment and give its defini tion." requested the scbooltcacber. "K-e-r-m e-n-t, ferment, to work," re sponded a dimimlnutlve maiden. "Now place it in a sentence so that I may be sure you understand Its meaning.'' said tbe teacher. "iu summer I would rather play out of doors than ferment In tbe school house," returned the small pnpll with such doleful frankness and uncon scious humor that tbe teacher found It bard to suppress a smile. Chicsgo News. Supported the Proposition. Mrs. Blickens The president ef ou club Is going to lecture next Tuesday evening on "Conversation as Lost Art." Mr Blickens (yawning) That so? Sirs. Blickens-Well. why don't you go on and make some sarcastic comment about tbe Impossibility of conversation being s lost art while women .remain on earth? Of course that is what yon think. Mr. Blickens Xo: I agree with your president Con versation Is a lost art. When only one side ran be heard it Is merely talk. ) Chicago News. PASSION. Passion warps and interrupts the judgment. He that can reply calm ly to an angry man is too hard for him. Plato, speaking of passion ate persons, says they are like men who stand on their heads they see all things the wrong way.
