The Irony of fate frequently appears 1b the antic of the cyclone. In the Hown of Shanghai, 111., there stood side bjr side a church and a saloon. A nar-toalley separated them On a certain 'Sunday morh.ng the church was filled with worshiper, the saloon with gam hlers. Inside the one were slaty five devotees of religion, Inside the other re five devotees to a game of chance called poker. A tornado descended upon the town and struck In the neighborhood of these two buildings The ehurch waa demolished Its occupants were killed. Not a shingle on the saloon waa displaced. The gamblers were unharmed. They ran outside, when the noise of the wreck neat door reached them, and busied themselves digging out from the ruins the bodies Kt those who had assembled Just across 'the alley to be saved. Between Napoleon and Versailles Und, a party of emigrants camped lri"a forest, which drew the wrath of the wind gods one dark night A path fifty yards wide was cut through this dense mass of trees, throwing the tall timbers aside like straw flying from the sickle of a mowing machine. The "tent containing a party of campers was In the middle of this road of ruin. Not a thread In Its canvas was raveled, not one of its sleeping Inmates was maimed. On May 27 a wind storm visited the vicinity of the Bijou hills. In South Dakota. Everything in its course was torn up or driven into the ground.

A family named Clothier occupied on sellar. Mr. A1 Clothier heard something whiz by his head, and, on looking up, beheld the blade of a large knife quivering against the wall. The blade . of it had missed him by an inch and buried itself In the flat earthen surface against which he was standing. The knife had been blown from the Eastman place, a mile away. In the same storm the Noble family escaped to a cellar, only to have n f horse blown in after them. None the family sustained Injury of any description.

Most people have doubted their eyes when at some conjuring performance they have seen a man run needles and pins through both cheeks, evincing no pain as he does so. In reality every person has hundreds of senseless specks of senseless skin all over his body through which he could run pins, or even cut them out, without feeling pain if someone else were to do so when he was blindfolded he would not be even aware fact Physicians call them dead spots; and the reason that one man can sew his cheeks up, while another could not. Is simply because the former happens to have many hundreds of these spots In one place. These dead spots are caused by the minute nerves which convey every sensation to the brain being either absent In these particular places or dead and senseless But ebonld any one of our readers allow himself to be blindfolded, and then get one of his friends to prod him gently with a clean needle; say all on one arm. tmt of every hundred pricks he will fee! only about ali-t- y or seventy at the most. In the other cases the needle will have touch dead spots. of-th- VERSATILE CONSUL TO CANTON Edward Bedloe, 'who has gotten into trouble by granting American registry lMpls( Flower Freak, pinch of salt or a piece of charcoal added to the water help to keep the Tb water should be flowers fresh. changed every day or It will smeU unpleasantly. more to avenge a It costs a-l- Wrong that it doe to forgive It.
