Very few people are wholly at ease during a violent thunder storm, Light- ning generally strikes somewhere, and no one feels absolutely safe from it. There is a simple way of insuring one's self against danger, however. If yon put on a pair of rubbers when the lightning begins to flash, and the thunder to roar, and stand on the floor so that you touch nothing else, yon will be as safe as if you were sealed in a glees case. Robber is a non•oon- dnotor of eleotricity, and if the light- ning' has to go through a sheet of rubber to get at you, it will leave you alone, and take something else. In other words, when yon have on a pair of rubbers and are not in oontaot with anything, you are perfectly insulated. This is not a theory merely. It is a fact proved by innumerable experiences, A pair of rubbers has saved many a life in a thunder storm. But they must be sound and whole, Do not don an old pair with a oraok in the toe, because eleotrioity will get out of a very small hole when it is cornered, and a pair of defective rubbers will do you no good.

Marked Lingerie. It Is a pretty custom with ieome wo- men to mark lingerie with the Chris- tian name instead of with initials or a monogram, The name is stamped In pretty and legible script and then worked in the solid embroidery stitch. The marking should be either .in the center front or midway between the center front and the shoulder on the left side of chemise, corset cover and nightgown and upon the left drawers leg just above' the ruffle or, if button- holes are made for ribbon, above the top buttonhole. This is an attractive way, too, to mark handkerchiefs, and upon the handkerchiefs with narrow colored bor- ders, which are so popular in Paris to be carried with tailored suits, the name is worked in color to match the border.

Bring me a bowl of snnshioe, lass, From a fonr't of rosy dawn; A frozen rainbow for my glass Ere the sparkle of it is gone; The silver lining of a cloud As a cloth for my table here, And sing me a merry song aloud With a voice that is sweet and clear, Bring me the bine of a sunny sky And oast it overhead, Lay me a rug of clover by Like a wove of velvet spread; Shower me over with cherry flowers Just bursting to full bloom, To freshen this perfect day of ours With spioe of their sweet perfume. Drape me the black of a midnight s» Arid stud it with stars or white, To hang my walls with a tapestry Rare as the peace of ni h r ; Stretch me a frieze of clouds that lie Over the $unlit hills. Where the bowl of sunshine, brimming high, Jest overflows and spills. And my cloth shall be soft as the rose's cheek, And my heart strings shall be atune, All. all of my bidden guests shall speak With tongues of the birds in June: So -a bowl of the son from a rifted aloud, And set it before me here, And Ping me a merry song aloud With a voice that is sweet and clear. -J.

Make two square bags of muslin of convenient size, according to the part efliictetL Half fill these bags with po- tatoes that have been freshly peeled and put them on to boil. When tender mash the potatoes in the bag and apply it to the patient, us- ing it as hot as it can be stood without blistering. While the other is cooling crush the potatoes in the second bag and have it ready to use when the first is taken off. This shonld be returned to the boiling water to heat up again. To Cook Rice. Rice if cooked to a pulp is not light and fluffy, with large grains, nor does it make the same bnik..that half baked rice does. Wash the rice in plenty of water, changing it often, for the grains oliect dust. Put on the stove with plenty of water and boil vigorously twenty minutes. Drain off the water, cover the vessel with a• tight• lid to create steam, place the rice on the back of the stove or in the oven and leave for an hour, and it will puff and every grain will be sepa- rate. Some add a little lemon juice when it is put into the oven. Improved Bathroom pittings. As civilization' marches on the fittings Of tho modern bathroom aro improved every year.

Much Interest Evinced In Outcome of the Contest. At the recent annual outing of the State Coal Dealers' Association at Clear Lake, Des Moines, Ia., Miss Olive Mott won the wading contest in the presence of 600 admiring spec- tators. The conditions were that barring shoes and stockings, each competitor should wear her aceus toured clothing; if the lake water wetted her lingerie she was disquali- fied at once. Miss Mott's father is president of the association, and, being very anxi- ous she should win, said to her pater- nally : "Go as far as you like, Olive." Miss Mott, who is a very tall girl„ went seventy-five feet into the lake, five feet further than her nearest com- petitor, Mrs. G. L. Reeves. And the winner was the only one of the eigh- teen waders whose clothes remained as dry as if they had just come from the ironing board. The eighteen took off their shoes and, stockings in a tent, and, after othernecessary preparations, walked to the lake between two lines os women, each of whom had a parasol over her*houlder, so all the men at the outing rushed to the water's edge and got their feet wet. The three men who judged the interesting con- test were in a small boat. There had been much rivalry for the position of judge, for the lake is well named. The judges took the victorious but blushing Miss Mott in their boat and carried her, triumphant, to shore. Besides their shoes and stocking, ;most of the competitors put on dry lingerie in the robing tent. Miss Mott's prize was three -fold -a box of silk stockings, garters with gold buc- kles and silk parasol. WOULDN'T FiSH SUNDAYS. Lord Linleti gow Declined Invitation to Sunday Merry -Making. Several stories are told about Lord Linlithgow, the first Governor-Gen- eral of the Australian Commonwealth. In the colonies his lordship was a great success, and it is related of the earl that when paying his official visit to Gippsland he rode through the country attired in bush garb - colored shirt, breeches, top b gots and slouch hat. At Alberton he wi s re- ceived by the municipal fathers in shirt sleeves, and they, thinking to do him honor, invited him to a boat- ing and fishing picnic on the iot.o:v- ing Sunday. Lord H:opetc,m, a:; h then was, replied that, as he ;:ever went fishing on Sunday, lie was un- able to accept. Althounh a Scotsman, Lord Linlitltt*ow usually attended the St. Patrick's Day demonstration in Melbourne. At one of these get) ier- ings he related how, as a very penes man, he had set out on tour of Ire• land. A Dublin horsekeaper, who fitted him out for the expedition, slyly remarked that perhaps his eye would linger on some pretty colieen who would wake him happy for life. "It did,,, remarked hi., exc lie•i,•y amid general laughter, in whim Lady Linlithgow, who is the d:i.nehter os an Irish ieer, heartily joined. Was Troubled With His Back for Over Twenty= five Years Got Him Every Kind of Medicine, But DOAN'S. KIDNEY PILLS FINALLY CURED HIM Mrs. H. A. Pipper, Fesserton, Ont., writes: -I can certainly recommend your Doan's Kidney Pills. My husband had been troubled with his back for over twen. ty-five years. I got him every kind of medicine I could think of, but they did him no good. A friend advised him to get some of Doan's Kidney Pills, so he got two boxes and they cured him completely. Ho feels like a now man, so he says, and will never be without a box of Doan's Kidney Pills in the house. Tho price of Doan's Kidney Pills is 50 outs per box or 3 boxes for $1.25, at all dealers, or will bo mailed direct on receipt of price by Tho Doan Kidney Pill Co., Toronto, Ont. Selections HALLEY'S COMET. :.oming to Revisit Us After a Seventy. five Year Trip, After an absence of seventy-five years and after visiting a region that is perhaps 50,000,000 miles Wore dis- tant than the outermost planet of the solar system, Halley's comet Is again approaching us, and even now is nearer to us than the planet Saturn. ,After Oct. 1, 1909, it will probably be visible to the naked eye. The return of this clebrated comet - the first known to move in a closed orbit -causes it to be an object of ex- traordinary attention. Its brilliancy, Its sensational size, the records of its returns extending back nearly 2,000 years, the consternation once spread throughout the world by the belief that it would destroy the earth, make it the most famous comet in history. In 1082, during the reign of Charles I1., a comet appeared of extraordinary size, which was observed by Newton, Halley and other astronomers of the time. Halley followed its course among the stars and, comparing his observations with the records of pre- vious comets, came to the conclusion that the comets of 1456, 1531 and 1607 were but different appearances of the same object. He staked bis reputa- tion on a prediction that the comet would return in about seventy-five years. True to this prediction, it did appear in 1758, when Halley had been sleeping in his grave for sixteen years. The reason that the name of Palitscb, a Saxon peasant, has been preserved to posterity is that his eye was the first to catch sight of , the returning comet. -Popular Astronomy. Six Most Powerful • Men. In the smoking room of a popular west end club the other afternoon a group of men suddenly raised the query as to which six men wield the most power in the world, and very considerable diversity ,of opinion was expressed. By general consent King Edward was placed at the head of the list, but it seemed impossible to ar- rive at any agreement as to the re- maining five. After some considera- ble argument it was decided to can- vass the whole of the members then in the building and ask them to write down the names bf the six they con- sidered the most powerful. The fol- lowing was the result, with the order of voting: First, the king; second, the pope; third, the czar; fourth, the sul- tan of Turkey; fifth, the president of the United States; sixth, the emperor of China. Among others who were voted for very generally were the em- peror of Japan, the French president and the kaiser. -London Sketch. Hotels That Have Passed. New York builds hotels fast, but it loses them fast as well. To the death roll of famous hostelries is added now the name of the Everett House, and this within a four year period which has seen the passing of the Morton House, the hotel Cambridge, the Nor- mandie, the Vendome, the Sinclair, Leggett's and the Fifth Avenue. A little further back the registers were closed finally of the old Metropolitan, the St. James, the Brunswick, the Uuitet3 States, the St. Cloud, the St. Nicholas and the Stevens House. The Windsor disappeared with fire and tragedy: Some hotels remain, but not the same. The Hoffman House and the Grand are practically new. The for- mer Grand Central, scene of the Stokes -Fisk shooting, is now the Broadway Central. --New York World. A Hardness Meter. A novel device for measuring the hardness of metals is called the sclero- scope clerascope by Albert F. Shore and Dr. Paul Lierould, its inventors. A steel ball weighing forty grains, made ex- tremely hard by a special process, is inclosed in a glass tube, and the hard- ness is indicated by the rebound as the ball is dropped on the metal under test. A scale measures the height of rebound. On this scale 100 is the average hardness for carbon steel and proves to be the safety limit for steel tools after reheating and tempering. The instrument is valuable in making tools of standard hardness. - Cleve- land Plain Dealer. Gymnastic Burglars. A school for burglars has been dis- covered by the police at Toulouse, France, and fifty-four burglars and "professors" have been arrested. Classes were held every clay, in which the burglars practiced gymnastics and were taught the various details of their Interesting profession by experts, who drew comfortable salaries. All the members of the school are well known to the police, for one of the necessities of membership was a proof that the would be member had com- mitted at least five burglaries success- fully and had lived by his profession for at least three years. Houses of Corncobs. In some parts of Europe corncobs are used for building purposes. The cobs are collected and taken to a fac- tory, where heavy compresses crush and mold them into blocks of various sizes just as bricks are variously molded. These blocks are bound With wire, 90 as to make them hold together. They are then soaked in tar to make theta water tight and are ready for use after this treatment. Of course they are much lighter than bricks, are always dry and make good hones. CLUBBING � RATES FOR 1907 - 08.
