Window panes and glassware rat tled in Milan homes whan that bolt of lightning landed against an old oak tree near the Watch Tower the other evening. It was a terrific shock and people (or several miles aronnd . were aroused by its force. . The bolt came against the tree about thirty feet from tne ground ana witu its down ward coarse took a strip from the oak nearly two feet wide. A hole a foot deep was torn in tne ground. The strip from the tree was reduced to small bits and scattered a conplc of hundred feet distant. This makes the tenth time in five years which this locality has been visited by se vere tnunder bolts. Uo one instance a man lost his life and another time a couple of cattle were killed on Van druff's island.

And evi dences of copper, iron and sulphur have been found on an examination of the ledge near the river bank. This is probably the nature of the deposit farther north. A Pointer. Our sister city of Rock Island is building a court house that will be a thing of beauty, and it is hoped as convenient within as it will be beau tiful without. Scott county has a court house that she can well afford to be proud of. The one blemish on the court house here is the un sightly, antiquated old jail, that stands at one corner of the court bouse square. Bock Island appears likely to make the same mistake. She has a jail that is . as much of a back number as our own, and in some respects more offensive to the eye, bat it is thought more than likely that it will be retained, a dis figurement and an eyesore. These two cities, so progressive and well advanced in everything else, ought to take steps to complete the work they have carried thus far, and vie with each other in removing these vestiges of an unsightly day from the places where they now constantly olTend the public eye to others where tney win do less in evidence and more fitly placed Davenport Dem ocrat.

McClcllan Rock Island Mrs. Sophia Axtell Kuck Island Coffee Drinking. There are some persona who indulge rto a considerable excess in coffee drink ing, and many more who go to even greater excess in the use of tea. It has accordingly been contended by some ab stainers from these two substances that they are capable of generating a form of inebriety corresponding to etherism. Unquestionably intemperate tea and coffee drinking will give rise to serious mischief. The inordinate consumer of strong tea may become a dyspeptio wreck:, a sloepiess hypochondriac, with decrepit nervous system, the victim of a deep, intense melancholy, with, in some cases, a suicidal tendency. The immoderate indulger in coffee, black end strong, may lose all appetite for healthy food, eat little, suffer from tremors, . acute neuralgic and other pains, excessive thirst, agonizing head' ache and a feeling of intolerable dryness and beat. Be may become pinched and emaciated, have a feeble circulation and a constant fear of falling, with a blurred vision, as if looking through light brownish media. These, however, are the symptoms of tea and coffee poisoning. They bear wit ness, so to speak, to theine and caffeine intoxication, minus the anaesthesia and paralysis of alcoholic drunkenness. Dr. Kerr, in his practice, has never seen an uncontrollable craving for tea or coffee to which all natural affections and dn ties were subordinated. He is therefore unable to recognize these phases of ex cessive drinking as manifestations of narcomania, the disease which is char acterized by an overpowering impulse to intoxication at all risks.

Dean Hole, in his "Little Tour In America," gives the following good story, which was picked up at an enter tainment given in his honor by the Lotos club of Xew York. The quaintest story of the evening was told by Dr. Greer of a tedious, monotonous preacher who had exhausted the patience of bis hear ers by an elaborate dissertation on the tour greater prophets, and when, to their sad disgust, he passed on to the minor and asked, "And now, my breth ren, where shall we place Hosea?" a man rose from the congregation and made answer :" You can place him here, sir.
