Manifestly, then, had social eo-o eration to be coin- rnenced by ourselves, and had its pur- poses to be specified before consent to co-operate could be obtained. there would be large parts of human conduct in respect to which co-operation would bo declined; and in respect of which, consequently, no authority of the ma- jority over the minority could be right- fully ightfully exercised,--ikrbcrt Spencer in Popular Science Monthly for July. Bouncer Struck By Lightning. "I naw a paragraph in the San," Wild Farmer Silas 14 it,ner, of Bayonne, "about a dog that was killed by a thunderbolt, and the suggestion of the dog's owner that dogs attract light - Dino'.

Bouncer 'was greatly frightened, and headed us as we ran toward the house. Sudden- ly I noticed a ring of blue flame around his neck. Ito noticed itabout the same time himself, and, turning around, he ran yelling toward, us, as if for protec- tion. But we turned and ran too. Per- haps wo didn't yell so loud, but I be- lieve we ran nearly as fast as ho did. I know we had covered three miles of rough ground before he overtook ono of the mon who had stuck in a hedge. He appealed so pitifully for assistance ' that wo returned. to help him, and found the dog lying exhausted beside him. The blue fire was out and the collar was gone, but its imprint was on its scorched neck, and looks exactly like a steel collar to this day. The hair has never grown over it, and while the dog seems proud of his ornament, ho always slinks into the cellar three days before a thunder -storm, and can't be tempted out until the sky is clear again.' —New York. Sun. An. Arkansas Divorce Case. Several days ago a young negro and his wife appeared before Simon Patter- son, a black knight of the rural Arkan- saw bench, and demanded a divorce.
