With her, says the New York Mall, was a beau tiful little boy— not exactly a Little Lord Fauntleroj, but a little chap with big eye* and a wealth of tous- eled hair.

Pretty soon 1 heard the little boy say, evidently referring to me: m "A in ’t that a funny hat that umu lius got on 7 Ain’t It an old hat, mom 7” No reply. “Ain't he a funny looking man, mom?

In the first place, we don't have any electric light at all until 6 or 0 :30 o’clock In the evening. And the only reason that we have that, Is because the men who manage the power plant, which Is situated almost at the very top o f a mountain, start their long uud far-frum-easy climb every night about 5:80 and turn on the lights for us. It may sound very simple and all that, hut If you could see the speck that Is the power house, way, way up tbsre against the -hie o f an exceeding ly steep and rocky mountain, you would change your mind about It. They say the clliiih is about u mile. Agd sometimes lp the midst o f a se vere thunder storm, when the rain Is hurling Itself down the mountain, aud the fall* are roaring In stentorian tones, aud the tree* are straining and moaning In the wind, you wouder that the men ever reach the top at all. aud are more than thankful when the light* finally go on.

I f you did. the chances are that this occurred In thun derstorm weather^ writes A. Briggs In Popular Mechanics Magazine. It has been the experience o f many Jew elera that In thunderstorm seasons the number of broken watch mainsprings Increases greatly. This has been erro neously ascribed, though somewhat vaguely, to the effect of electricity, magnetism, and o f the noise from the thunder, but an analysis of the ex planations attempted fail* to develop any reasonable relation In accord with these Ideas. This matter has recently been made the subject o f scientific study. It was finally found to arise from the fact that at this time o f the year the ulr was both warm and midst, aud that both of these conditions facilitated rusting. A small spot of rust often starts on the spring or In a crack, and the spring soon weakens and lets go. '61 VET FINDS MAN HE SHOT Union Soldier Trace* Hi* Bullet Fired In Battle of Vlckeburg Fifty-Eight Year* Ago. Kelso, Wash.— P. J. Knapp, a Civil war veteran, after 58 years has traced the course o f a bullet he fired at the siege o f Vicksburg. Some time ago Mr. Knapp read a news dispatch saying that W. B. Meadows, a Confederate veteran of Lanott, Ala., had coughed up a bul let which was shot Into hlR eye at Vicksburg. Mr. Meadows, the account said, was a member o f the Thirty- seventh Alabama regiment, and Mr. Knapp recalled an Incident at the siege, when he and three other mem bers o f the Fifth Iowa volunteers si lenced a Confederate Rharpslmoter who was firing through a small hole In a sheet o f holler plate. When Mr. Knapp wrote to Mr. Meadows, the latter said that he was the man behind the holler plate, and that tjie bullet entered his right eye.
