A terrific thunder etorm which passed over the Lake St. John district caused loss of life and con siderable damage to property. Owing to the Btortu the wires are in a demoral ized condition, but it is learned that at John Querie's lightning struck the parish church while high mass was be ing celebrated. A portion of the roof was ripped off, two altars upset and the officiating priest etunned. Then it was discovered that the build ing was on fire, and the whole congrega tion at once became panic-stricken. A mad rush was made for the doors, dur ing which one man was trampled under loot and killed and many persons were injured. The church was burned to the ground, making the third church fired by lightning and destroyed in the Lake St. John district within two weeks. Wiped Oat An Old Feud. Empire City, Kan., July 6.

Baby comfort comes from fat ; fat babies have nothing to do but to sleep and grow. If your baby does not seem to prosper, if he does not gain in weight, you must get more fat there. A few drops-of each day will put on plump ness; fat outside, life inside, baby and mother both happy. Your baby can take and rel ish Scott's Emulsion as much in summer as in any other season.

The nature and quantity of an appro priate diet must depend largely upon one's age, individual constitution, oc cupation, habits of life and, to some ex tent, upon the climate in which one lives. An active child 12 or 15 years old, who is growing fast and exercising freely, may require and assimilate as much food as a man past middle age. - In health, the appetite may be taken is a fair guide, and the child will sel dom eat too much if he is taught to eat very slowly, and thoroughly to chew each mouthful. Throughout the school years the growth of the body is continually going on, and, therefore, if a proper develop ment is to 1m? maintained, the food must e abundant and of a character to fur nish new tissues and to yield energy in the form of heat and muscular activity. The full adult weight is not usually attained before the 25th year, although in some instances itis reached earlier. When the growth of the body and the development of the vital organs are completed, the use of food consists sim ply in maintaining the proper equili brium of the tissues by replacing waste with new material, and in furnishing fuel for the development of force. As men advance in life, become pros perous, and perhaps acquire more lux urious habits of living, they are apt to take less exercise and, at the same time, to be constantly tempted to indulge in food which is not needed and which is imperfectly consumed in-the body. On the other hand, quite as much ill may result from eating too little as from overindulgence. In either case the difficulty is made serious by long continuance. So great is the force of habit over the different organs of the body that the stomach and intestines will usually re ject undigested .the contents of an oc cassional excessive meal, whereas with habitual overeating they become ac customed to appropriating large quan tities of food, which are absorbed, but which cannot be eliminated without severely taxing the organs of excretion. Frequently the excess is stored up in the body and goes on accumulating until the system rebels, and a violent bilious attack, by vomiting and purging, brings relief. It is no exaggeration to say that avoidable errors in diet are responsible for more than half the disease which embitters the middle and latter part of life. Youth's Companion.

Nothing; Meteorle Bat Much That la In teresting In Their Career. The Smithsonian institution has hit upon something extraordinary in snails. The creatures may be slow, bnt they hold the record over all other animals for prolonged vitality under adverse conditions, says the Provi dence Journal. ' S tories of toads dug out of rocks in which they had been imprisoned for ages are 'apocryphal; but recent discovery has established the credit of this humble mollusk as No. 1 in the tenacity of life. Only the other day a specimen from an island off the coast of Lower Cali fornia, inclosed in. a drawer with part of the molluscan collection, was found to be alive. It had no food or water for more- than six years. When placed in the box with moist earth it pro truded its feet, begun to move about, and seemed to be as well as ever. Some time ago a few snails of a differ ent species, gathered in Mexico, reached the Smithsonian institution and were piaced in a box. They re mained undisturbed for two years and three ' months, at the end of which time they were put into a jar of glass with some chickweed and a smal ' quantity of tepid water. Pretty soon they waked up and appeared quite ac tive. Pond snails, which are sometimes found alive in logs of mahogany from Ilonduras, possess equal endurance. Specimens carried from -Egypt to Paris, packed in sawdust, have arrived uninjured. Other kinds have been ex perimented with by shutting them up in pill boxes and dry bags for years, but they have survived. The limit of their vitality is yet to be ascertained. Land snails iu cold climates bur Uiemselves in the ground or under vicad leaves in winter; in tropical region?- they become torpid during the hot season. V,"hen about to start in on a period of sleep they seal up their uhells with a close-fitting door, which sometimes is a shield of thin, tran sparent mucus, and in other cases an opaque nenbrance as thick as a visit ing card. . liehlnd this the animal con structs other wall.-,, which serve like so u:iy partitions to protect it against pr.-lonj":-(l coM or dryness. It is believed that just as the seeds of pls.nt.-i arc distributed by winds, so lilrowjse the eggs of snail:.; are scattered abroad on the bn-ezes. thus dissemi natiiT' their species. They are very prolific animals. Some of the great land snails of the tropics, which live on trees and weigh a pound apiece, lay eggs that look strikingly like those of pigeons, being quite as large. The eggs are deposited among decaying vegetation, the heat of decomposition hatchinc them. The Westfield (Ind.)

Our Barnyard Gobbler Is Not the Direct Descendant of American Stock, But a Relative Imported from Mexico. Among the luxuries belonging to the high conditions of civilization exhi bited by the Mexican nation at the time of the Spanish conquest was the possession by Montezuma of one of the most extensive zoological gardens on record, says the Washington Star. It embraced nearly all of the animals of that country, with ot'.icrs brought at great cost from distances. It is stated by historians t!:r:t. turkeys called by the Kpunisli aV. cv.r.rers "a kind of peacock" were lied in large numbers as fond to tliu I. oasts of prey in the emperor's i:i::na; At that time the bird ha ' en do mesticated and reared in Mexico for hundreds of years. It was carried by the Spaniards to the M'cst Indies, whence it was taken to Europe early in the sixteenth century. ISefore long it became in Europe highly appreciated for its flavor. Being known to be of foreign origin, a report gained ground that the fowl had been obtained from Turkey, that being a region little known in western Europe. In this way it obtained the name by which it has since been designated. People coming to the United States from Europe brought this Mexican fowl to the United States, and the progeny of the stock thus imported and fetched back to the continent whence it was originally derived fur nishes Yankee tables to-day. In fact, the contemporary turkey of the barn yard did not belong here originally It is not derived from the wild turkey of the United States, which is quite another species, with dark meat on the breast and other differences plain ly distinguishable. On the other hand, the wild Mexican tnrkey has white meat on the breast and resembles our tame turkey in all other points. There are two species of wild turkey in North America. One is confined to the eastern and southern parts of the United States, while the other is native to the Rocky mountains, parts of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and extends along eastern Mexico southward. Zoologists were a long time finding this out, being puzzled meanwhile to. account for the marked difference in color and habits between the wild and domestic birds of the country. That a dark-meated fowl should acquire white meat through do mestication would seem indeed surpris ing. In its wild state the Mexican turkey derives nourishment from plants and insects, scratching with its feet for food. It is very shy. The birds live in families like wild geese, keeping sen tinels on the watch when the flock is feeding. They are so heavy that they are not fond of taking flight, but the swiftest dog cannot overtake them in running. The female lays from three to twelve roundish, red-spotted eggs, and hatches them out in thirty days. In Yucatan and northern Guatemala this bird is replaced by a third species, less in size, but more striking in ap pearance, the tail having spots some what like the "eyes" in the tail ot a peacock.

Bryan in the silver agitation prior to the Democratic National Convention, and dur ing the campaign; the best examples of bis won derful oratory, the most noteworthy incidents of his famous tour, a careful review of the political situation, a discussion of the election returns and the significance thereof, and the future possibilities of Bi-metallism as a political Issue.
