TO A WEED.
Vou hold me by a spell, dear flower,
Though others call you weed,
Bright blessing of the common ways
For pralso you need not plead
Your swaying shields of tender white
Hold more of ponies1 theme
For me, than all the witchery
Of moonlight dnsam.
For tn the sunny south I know
You flood with silver light
The happy fields and woods wherein
I roamed, love 1 proselyte.
'Twas there you taught me how to sing.
For, looking with love's eyes,
I thought your diikt were wondrous blooms
From paradisel
And now, lest y )u should lose your (race,
When through the fields I hie,
I bend my head, that none may trace
The love-llgn 5 In my eye.
Lest other hearts your sorcery
Might qufcktn Into flame,
I will not show your charm to them
Nor breatbo your name.

PUliSUED BY A TORNADO.

Cloud
One of the Two Men Upon It Tells the
Story They Turned Bend Jost
In Time to Escape
Death.
DON'T believe
that fright ever
turned a p e r
son's hair white
of! hand," said
Henry Wether
ell, an 'engineer
of the Jersey
Central rail-
rjc road. "If such
a thlnfr could
happen these
locks of mine
would not be as
black as you
see them now,
for, I will venture to say that, no man
ever went through a more fear-inspiring
experience than 1 did once. Tell you
the story? Why, certainly. But I am
not very good at a yarn, and I can only
fflyo ypu the bare facts without descrip
tive ornamentation.
"It happened this way: The year was
1878 or 1870, I forget which. Anyway
it was some time in July. The weather
had been pretty hot. and it was just the
sort of day for breeding a tornado.
"Hut I am getting ahead of my story
already, not being very expert in the
way of anecdote. I was working on a
one-horse railroud in southern Kansas
The superintendent wired me to fetch
my engine a distance of about seventy
miles to a place called Peterstown. It
was wanted to haul a lot of perishable
freight, mostly market produce, which
had got shunted oil by some accident
onto a'side track and was In danger of
Bpoiling. A suit against the company
might have followed, and the business
had to be attended' to in a hurry. There
were only seven locomotives on the
road, barring two or three that were
disabled.
"Well, not to be too long-winded, I
got fuel and watery board as quickly as
possible and started lor Tetcrstown,
taking it rather easily, because the
track wasn't in condition to stand fast
running well. I was about an hour
out from, my starting place, and hud
gone sixteen miles perhaps, when I no
ticed some queer-looking clouds on the
western horizon.
"Tho day was exceedingly sultry,
and there was a Curious sort of glare
over the landscape which made it look
sort of feverish. I can't think of a bet
ter word for describing it. There was
something unnatural about the appear
ance of everything. My fireman was a
boy who had been brought up in that
region, and he said that it looked like a
tornado coming. . He ought to have
been a good judge of the Symptoms,
because the whole of his family, to
gether with all their property and live
stock, had been wiped out by such a
'twister,' as they call 'em, when he
was hardly old enough to toddle.
"By the time we'd gone, maybe eight
or ten miles further, a dense bank of
clouds had spread around toward the
aouthwest It was black as ink. but be
neath it was a blank streak of white.
I had never seen anything that looked
quite like it before. As 1 looked at it
the bank rose higher, and presently I
saw something like a sharp point of
cloud project Itself downward from the
black masj. All this time there was no
thunder nor lightning, but only a look
about the sky that was dreadful to see,
because it was so unnatural-like. It
seemed as if something awful was go
ing to happen. It was the boy who
called my attention to the pointed
cloud, and he said it was a tornado be
ginning.
. "I pretended not to be afraid, and
said that if it was a 'twister' it would
not be likely to hit us. But ho was as
pale as a ghost Says he:
" 'Don't you sco that it is directly
southwest of us?
" 'Why, certainly,' I replied. 'What
of that?'
" They always travel, northeast,' he
said, 'and we are right in the track of
it!'
" 'Then wo'll run away from it, I
guess,' says I, pulling the throttle wifle
open. - But tho boy, he said nothing
only watched the clouds m the distance,
"By this time the pointed cloud had
got very much bigger, the lower end of
it nearly touching the ground. It grew
rapidly larger and larger and seemed to
be approaching at a great rate of
t.pocd, while tho test of the view to
ward the west and southwest became
blurrefl to the eye, so that nothing
could be made out clearly. I saw that
it was a tornado that was coming, and
no mistake, for the strange cloud
which had the shape of a gigantic peg-
top, was distinctly outlined in ita inkv
blackness against the general blur. I
began to feel pretty badly frightened
myself. Isow and then, when I could
take my eye off the cloud, I looked at
thebdy: but he only sat silent in the
CHb, storing at tho great peg-top with
starting eyeballs and white lips.
1 inally I said:
" 'IV you think we are going to es
cape it?"
" 'We are right In its track,' he said,
without looking at me.
"You see, we were running in an air
line over the prairie, directlv north
rr.st, and, pursuing the very path in
which the tornado was coming. Any
other course, with the steam I had on
would bave carried us out of the way,
"The boy shoveled more coal on. Ho
had already done so three or four times
since the strange cloud was sighted.
But it was no use. The engine was
doing its best, and she wasn't capable
of more than about thirty-eight miles
an hour.
'"It's gainiig on us,' I said. 'now
fast does such a thing as that travel?
About a hundred miles an hour,
replied the boy, white as a sheet.
"If that had been true I would not
be here to tell the story. I have since
learned that eighty miles an hour is
supposed to be the best a tornado can
do. My belief is that this one was go
ing at about sixty miles. Anyway, it
wasn't more than six or seven miles
distant by this time, and- gaining on ua
rapidly. . If my reckoning was correct,
it would catch us in a little more than
twenty minutes. The way, I calcula
ted it was that the great peg-top was
moving at the rate of three miles to our
tWO.. .. .4
"it was the most frightful spectacle
to look at that can "possible be im
agined. To me it seemed to be a mon
strous giant, pursuing us with an evil
intention to destroy. Now and then
its' blackness would be transformed
into a dark green and it was constant
ly lighted up by flashes, as if it were
an immense balloon illuminated from
within. It appeared to whirl around
with inconceivable rapidity, and
from it came a sound across the prairie
as of bellowing, with a voice so awful
that the rumbling of the locomotive
was lost in it. Of the destruction it
was accomplishing I could get no no
tion from my point of view. Fortu
nately there were few settlements in
that part of the country, but as we
passed two or three small hamlets at
full speed I could see the people run
ning about trying to find some place
of safety.
The boy staggered to my side the
rocking of the engine made it difficult
to keep one's feet and clutched my
arm. I stooped my head and he yelled
into my ear the words: 'Make the bend.'
I knew what he meant on the in
stant Less than ten miles ahead of us
was a bridge over a river, after crossing
which the road turned abrubtly south
ward It was a freak railway anyhow,
and its zigzags were intended to pass
through as man' supposed centers of
future population as possible. The
only long stretch of it in a straight
line was just where we got caught by
the tornado. If we conld get to the
bend ahead of the monster we might
run out of its track.
"As yon may well imagine, I had no
opportunity to consider the plan calm
ly and in detail, but it struck me like
a flash. It was a- race for life sure
enough. If that engine never did her
forty miles an hour before I think she
must have done that and more, too,
then. With the great funnel cloud
rushing on behind us and steadily ap
proaching, we tore over the rails at a
frantic rate of speed. I was fairly
crazed by the excitement, so that it al-
"make the behd!"
most overcamo my sense of fear.
remember distinctly that I pulled the
whistle cord and let the locomotive
scream with all her might, though it
could hardly be heard in the roaring of
the pursuing tornado.
"Six miles passed, as well as I conld
estimate, and the monster was only
about four miles behind Three miles
more and it had lessened the distance
by a mile at least But we were near
the river. A minute later and we were
running across the bridge. No time
then to heed' the warning that trains
muBt run slowly over this stream, in
obedience to the sign post.
"Over the bridge, we flew around the
curve and dashed away southward, just
in time to see the mighty balloon pass
by with a whirl and a roar, as if all the
demons in the infernal regions wero
let loose. We could not make out anv
thing very distinctly, the sky being
darkened and the air filled with dust,
but wo knew that we were safe. A
few minutes later the clouds rolled
away and everything was as quiet and
peaceful as before the storm. We ran
back to the bridge, but it wasn't there.
It was clean gone, and such remains of
it as were left were scattered all over
the country. The road was so badly
torn up, the track for considerable dis
tances being twisted and broken to
pieces, that the expense of repairing it
bankrupted the company. Kleven peo
ple lost their lives .by that tornado,
which afforded me an experience which
I would not repeat for all the money
in the world." Washington Star.

. FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.
Taking Photographs, Magnetizing Iron
ami Playing Other Prnuka.
The Etruscans of old believed in
three kinds of lightning one incapable
sf doing any injury, another more mis-
Bhievous in its character, and conse-
juenMy only to be issued with the con
ten! of a quorum of twelve gods, and
i third carrying mischief in its train,
jnd for which a regular decree was re
juirod from the highest divinity in
the K.struscan skies. Curiously enough,
modern scientists, following the lead
taken by Arago, have also decreed that
the varieties of lightning are threefold.
The first comprehends that in which
the discharge appears like a long lum
inous line, bent into angles and tig
zngs, and varying in complexion from
white to blue, purple or red.
This kind is known as forked
lightning, because it sometimes di
vides into two or more branches
before reaching the earth. The
second differs from the first in
the range of surface over which the
flash is diffused. From this circum--stance
the discharge is designated sheet
lightning. The third class differ so
widely from tho more ordinary mani
festations that many meteorologists
have denied their right to be treated as
legitimate lightnings. They neither
assume the form of long lines on the
one hand nor sheets of flame on the
other, but exhibit themselves as balls
or globular lumps of fire.
A singular story is told concerning
the vagaries of one moss of globe light
ning. A tailor in the Run St. Jacques,
in the neighborhood of the Val de
tirace, was getting his dinner one day
during a thunder storm, when he heard
loud clap, and soon the chimney-
board fell down and a globe of lire as
big as a child's head came out quietly
and moved slowly about the room at a
small height above the. floor. The
spectator, in conversation afterward
with M. llabinet of the Academic ties
a-jien'sz-s, said it looked like a good
siz;d kitten rolled up into a ball and
moving without showing its paws.:' It
was bright and shining, yet he felt nc
sensitiou of heat. The globe came
near his feet, but by moving them aside
ho avoided the contact. After trying
several excursions in different direc
tions it rose vertically to the height of
his head which he drew back to pre
vent it touching him steered toward a
hole in tho chimney above the mantel
piece, and made its way into the flue.
Shortly afterward "when I supposed
it had had time to reach the top," tho
tailor said there was a terrible explo
sion, which destroyed the upper part of
chimney and threw the fragments
:m to the roofs of some adjoining build
ings, which they broke through. In
the forest of Nemours a tree was once
struck. Two pieces were rent from its
trunk. The smaller was tossed to a
distance iif fifty feet, and tho larger,
which eighteen men could not move, to
i distance of twenty feet or so in an op
posite tack. In 1838 the topgallant
mast of H. M. S. llodney was hit by a
flash and literally cut up into chips,
the sea being strewn with the frag
ments as if the carpenters had been
sweeping their shavings overboard.
Shortly tcfore the topmasts of II. M.
S. Ilvacinthe had suffered in a similar
manner, and when the Thetis under
went a like visitation in Rio harbor,
t'apt Fitzroy described the foretnp
niast, as "a mere collection of long
splinters, almost like reeds."
These are a few of the examples oi
the mechanical effects of lightning. It
works chemically as well. It has the
power of developing a peculiar odor,
which has been variously compared to
that of phosphorous, nitrous gas, and
most frequently burning-sulphur. Wafen
mentions a storm on the Isthmus of
Darien which diffused such a sulphur
ous stench through the atmosphere
that he and his marauding companion?
could scarcely breathe, particularly
when they plunged into the wood,
I lie magnetic effects produced are
often very curious. - A chest con
taining a large assortment of knives,
forks, and other cutlery was, not
many years ago, struck in the house
of a Wakefield tradesman, and magnet
ism imparted to the whole of the arti
cles. Arago, in his "Meteorological
Essays," speaks of a shoemaker in
Swadia whose tools were thus treated
to his indescribable annoyance. "He
had to be constantly freeing his ham
mer, pincers, and knife from his nails,
needles, and awls, which were con
stantly getting caught by them as they
lay top-ether on the bench." The same
authority knew of a Genoese ship that
whs wrecked near Algiers in conse
quence of some pranks played by light
ning among the compasses, the captain
innocently supposing that he was sail
ing toward the north, when, as a mat
ter of fact, he was steering due south.

. ABOUT HORSE TRADES.
IIow a Bay Was Bold Seven Times and
Maybe More.
They were talking about horse trades.
The man with the gray chin whiskers
said that he had been trading horses
for forty years, and he allowed that he
knew as much about the business
any one. However, when he was down
at Lockport he heard of a scheme that
knocked silly everything he had ever
done or had ever had done to him.
Pressed for the story, he said: "A
couple of sharp young fellows came to
Lockport a w hue ago with seven horses
nd one consumptive mule. . They hired
little shanty on the towpath pf the
canal and announced that they were
eady to swap horses at .the slightest
provocation. Six of the seven horses
they had were old and weather-beaten
nags that were worth about f 10 apiece.
The other was a nice-looking bay, fat
and handsome The mule cut no figure
at alL
'One day a canal man came along
and stopped at the shanty in which the
seven horses and the one mule were
eating their heads off. He announced
that he wanted to buy a team. He
looked over the stock, picked out one
of the best of the six spavined horses
and the nice-looking bay. ' But one of
the members of the firm was in sight
during the deal. The other one hid in
the shanty. The canalcr offered one
hundred dollars for the team and, after
much haggling, the offer was accepted
lhe buyer put the team on the tow-
ine and started off. t After he had
got well on his way, the man who had
been hiding in the shanty came out,
hitched up one of the remaining horses
to a sulky and started off briskly.
1 he canalcr drove along for about
two miles and then the bay horse sud
denly balked. He used every argument
known to men who drive horses along
the towpath to get the bay to go, but
it would not budge. He worked for an
hour and at the end of that time was iu
a state of anger that can better be im-
g'med than described. Just at this
juncture a man drove up the towpath.
tie was riding in a sulky and had a
pretty poor horse. He asked thecanaler
what was the matter, and even went so
far as to get down and try to get the
bay started. His efforts were unavail
ing, however, and, as a last resort, he
offered to take the horse off the canal
man's hands. He said that he had plenty
of time and could wait until the horse
got ready to start, whereas time was
money to the canal man. He offered to
trade for 150 to boot The canaler de
murred at this. They haggled for a
time and finally came to an agreement
whereby the canaler gave the man on
the sulky to boot The canalcr
hitched up the new horse and went
along. The man who had the bay waited
until it was ready to start. The he put
t between the thafts of the sulky and
drove back to the shanty. lie was the
man who had been in hiding. 1 he firm
got $135 for two of the poorest horses.
They worked that bay off and got it
back seven times. The bay was sure to
balk within a few miles and they knew
it i or all I know they may be work
ing the same scheme yet" Buffalo Ex

The Surf Story ot n Man Who Married foi
Money;
One day as I rode along the banks of
Powell's river, where it heads in to
wards the Cumberland mountains, I
ivertook a native and his wife walk
ing toward a store and saw a mill half a
mile f urther up the stream, nnd for the
sake' of company I chatted with them
on the way. The man was ten years
younger than his wife and he had the
air of a husband who couldn't say his
.soul was his own, without lying about
it, and the wife made no especial effort
to conceal her ascendancy over him.
When we arrived at the store, the
woman went inside and the man went
with mo to the stable to put up my
horse, as I expected to stay there over
night
Sh-sh, he said, warnmgly as we
came out of t lie stable.
'what a tho matter? I asked ner
vously. "Snakes?"
"Wuss, . he answered. "I reckon
you noticed how that woman bully
ragged me, didn't you?" he asked as if
he were ashamed of it
"Well," I said, as carefully as I could,
I saw that she had to have her own
way."
'And mine, too, he said quickly,
"She ain't purty for shucks neither,
he went on. "That kivers up a good
many faults sometimes. Lordy
wouldn't she have to be a beauty to

hopeless smile.

"I just wanted to tell ou," he went

ALL ABOUT THE HAIR.
Don't Wash It," Is the Advice of an El-
perlenred Hair Dresser.
Constant brushing of the hair has
i much to do with making it soft and
glossy as well as keeping the scalp
clean by an occasional washing with
pure soap and soft water or tho white
of an egg. One of the best hair tonics
ib made from rum and quinine. The
object of brushing the hair is not only
to stimulate the scalp and keep it free
from dandruff, but to keep it free from
erery particle of dust its entire length.
For the latter purpose a brush with
closely set bristles is necessary.
Don't wash your hair." This is ad
vice given by a woman who has been
at the head of a lending hair dressing
establishment for the last twelve years.
She says further:
J believe the average young woman
drowns the life of her hair by frequent
washing in hot and cold water. - Wc
seud out about twenty-nine yonng
women who dress hair by the season,
contracting for the entire family. They
plan to give each head a combing twice
a week, and, by special arrangement,
make house-to-house visits daily. Not
a drop of water is put on the hair, and
every head is kept in a clean and
healthy condition. We pin our faith to
a good brush, and preler a snort-
bristled, narrow brush, backed with
olive or palm wood. We use the brush,
not only ou the hair, but on the scalp
as well.
A maid has to be taught how to
dress and care for the hair by object
lessons. The instruction is part of my
duty. In teaching one novice I operate
on the other, lhe nrst thing to do
when the hair is unpinned is to loosen
it by lightly tossing it about The
operation need not tangle it, and as the
tresses are being aired they fall intc
natural lengths. Instead of beginning
at the scalp, the first combing should
start at the end of the hair. In other
words, comb upward in order to avoid
tangling, breaking and tearing the
hair out. This racking of the hair will
remove the dust. After this the scalp
should be brushed thoroughly. By
this 1 mean that a full hour should be
spent, first brushing the hair, and then
the head.
One of the finest heads of hair I
know belongs to a young girl who
makes it a point to occasionally comb
out her long tresses, lying her head on
the sill of an open window, let her hair
float outside, blown by all the winds of
heaven and kissed by the sunshine.
This seems an idle proceeding, but it is
far from being time wasted, since the
hair is thoroughly ventilated and
cleaned sufficiently to render necessary
washing more infrequently. N. Y.

PEACHES AS MEDICINE.
n Are Good for the Blond, the Diges
tion hikI the Complexion.
A dish of peaches is better than a
dose of medicine. There seems to be a
difference of opinion as to whether or
not the fuzz on the skin is injurious,
but the doctors agree that the ripe
peaches rank with the best of summer
foods. Seed fruits, particularly figs,
stra wherries, blackberries and cran
berries, aid degestion; grapes, grape
fruit, limes and oranges are prime
apperients; apples, dates, melons, cher
ries and plums are nourishing and re
freshing, but peaches are a tonic, an
aperient, a food and a drink combined
or, to put it briefly, they are meat and
medicine.
A good meal may be made on cut
peaches, with sugar and cream, bread
and butter, and, considering the un
wholesome character of the water sup
ply just now it is a lunch for man and
child. After a repast of this sort the
individual will feel more like attend
ing to the duties of tho afternoon than
if he or she indulged in heavy Ioo:l.-
Peaches are good before breakfast and
after dinner; they are good for the di
gestion, good for the blood and good
for the complexion. Some people cat
them without cream or sugar, nnd with
good result The fruit is so rich in su
gar and acid that it preserves its flavor
a long while, but to get the full benefit
it should be eaten as soon as it is cut
Redness of tho nose, due to conges
tion, infammed complexion, scrofulous
and bilious tedencics are said to be ma
terially influenced by a liberal con
sumption of this luscious fruit. Mixed
fruits are always advisable, but the
peach in season, used as an alternate
with plums, cherries, melons and ber
ries, will vanquish the enemies of the
