S RAINED ICY BULLETS. A Hailstorm In the Pyrenees Is a Seri- ous Matter. In a letter to the London Times a traveler tells of a hailstorm that came upon his party in the Pyrenees. *It was as if night was devouring day be- fore our very eyes—a night, too, of tempest and torn and trailing clouds, of storm, smoke and thunder.” Mid- way in the darkness was “the clear cut straight line of cloud which in- variably tells of hail” Except for the shelter of a small tree the travel- ers were exposed to the storm’s fury, and when they examined the hail- stones ‘they found they were of the average size of marbles, with a scat- tering here and there of much larger stones, “as large as golf balls.” This, however, was merely the pre- lude. The real storm came after they had reached their tents. *“Suddenly the whole land was bombarded by great hailstones as large as lawn ten- nis balls.” These fell with deafening roar on the canvas of the tent, and “it seemed only a matter of a few sec- onds for us to be battered into the earth, tent and all” An india rubber bath in front of their shelter, “with its sides beaten down in places, was half full of things like white cricket balls.” ‘When the storm had finally passed the mountains around were white with the hailstones. The hail was weighed. kilo.” The size was that of “a tennis ball and almost uniform.” Seventy sheep were killed on the heights above the travelers’ shelter. and in a neigh- boring valley thirty-five cows and some mules and the body of a child A [tains “were brought down by a stream.” You’ll be de- lighted with the re- sults of Calumet Baking Powder.

I quickly and quietly withdrew with a feeling of awe and reverence in my heart. Soon I went away from home to school, then to college, then into life’s sterner duties. But I ney- er forgot that one glimpse of my moth- er at prayer nor the one word—my own name—which 1 heard her utter. Well did I know that what I had seen that day was but a glimpse of what was going on every day in that sacred clos- et of prayer, and the consciousness strengthened me a thousand times in duty, in danger and in struggle. When death came at-last and sealed ‘those lips the sorest sense of loss I felt was the knowledge that no more would my mother be praying for me.

Court jesters were either misshapen. half imbecile midgets, whose senseless remarks were welcomed with laughter; quick witted, half mad fellows or poor, merry poets who devoted themselves to the task for the income which it brought. It was their business in medieval times to entertain kings and nobles with amusing sallies. One of the early French jesters was Mathurine, a woman. English jesters made use of calfskin coats, which buttoned down the back and protected them from the anger of those who were provoked at their sa- tirical thrusts. A fool's cap was adorned with three asses’ ears and a cock’s comb and worn on a shorn head. He had a wide collar, carried a scepter, and his cos- tume and cap were decorated with bells. Lame back is one of the most com- mon forms of muscular- rheumatism. A few applications of Chamberlain’s Liniment will give relief. For sale by Barker’s Drug Store. Largest Crystal of Beryl. It remained for a Turk, wandering far from his native land. to find the largest crystal of beryl (aquamarine) ever discovered, a long distance inland in Brazil. It was dug out at a shal- low depth, transported by canoe to the coast and finally sold at Bahia, bring- | ing the finder, it is said, $25,000. Ac- cording to estimates, this crystal would furnish fully 2,000,000 carats of aqua- marines of various sizes.—Argonaut. THACKERAY AS:A TALKER. A Grand Oratorical Display That Did Not Take Place: sclous and usually presented a very poor appearance when he attempted to deliver a speech. “Why can’t they get Dickens to take the chair?" he grum- bled when he had to preside at the general theatrical fund. “He can make a speech, and a good one. I'm of no use. They little think how nervous I am, and Dickens doesn’t know the meaning of the word.” An amusing story is recorded of the occasion when, with Mr. Fields, the well known American publisher. Thackeray traveled to Manchester to make a speech at the founding of the Free Library institution in that town. The would be orator declared that, al- though Dickens and Bulwer Lytton and Sir James Stephen were to pre- cede him, he intended to beat each of them on this occasion. He insisted that Mr. Fields should be seated di- rectly in front of him so that he should not miss a single word. Later. as he rose, he looked at his friend as much as to say, “I'll show you what speaking is.” He began flu- ently, was excellent for two minutes and then in the midst of a most ear- nest sentence stopped suddenly, gave your instrument. qualified endorsement.
