There Is a lull In society that la op
presslve it could not be moro quiet If It
were Lenten season. True, the weather Is
Ideal for picnics, luncheons and dancing
parties, but most everybody rusbod away
during the hot July days and evidently
they havo forgotten to return or else do
not Intend to; that Is, Just at prceent.
If there bo any truth In that saying, "It's
ojways calm beforo n storm," tho smart
set will be kept on tho go with the revival
of fall festivities.
Breezes from tho lakes nud mountains

girl wants that privilege of telling her moat
particular girl friend Just how It all camo
about and just how mony darts tho little

To bo in the very heart of a thunder
cloud and csenpo unharmed Is an unusual
It not n unique experience. That Is what
happened to Rev. John M. Bacon and somo
companions In ono ot hl3 balloon ascen
sions from Newbury, England.
Mr. Bacon In telling of the experience
says: "In scarcely morn than twenty min
utes from the start a sudden and surpris
ing change took place In our circumstances.
Our environment, which had appeared ab
solutely calm and clear, began changing
with the rapidity of a transformation scene.
Below us tho fow hundred feet which sep
arated us from earth began filling ln with
a blue hazo quite transparent, hut growing
ralpnbly filmier, whllo ahead, as also right
and left, tho horizon .i the level of our
eye and higher opposed n dense fog barrier
of an ashen hue. Overhead of course tho
sky view was entirely hidden by tho huge
silken globe. At this tlmo wo wero being
swept nlnng on our course, which remained
sensibly unaltered ln direction, nt a spoed
which wo subsequently were nblo to fix
at approximately forty miles an hour.
"To ourselves tho full significance of
these circumstances was not Immediately
apparent, but tho onlookers at our point
of departure tho town gas works, now
somo llvo miles In our wako clearly do
tcctcd tho approach of a heavy thunder
pack and, ns they reasonably asserted,
coming against tho wind. It towered above
tho balloon, now seen projected plainly
against its face. It camo on rapidly aud
assumed formidable proportions. Tho bal
loon was flying duo west at high speed
and at apparently no great distance' over
head tho thundercloud was progressing at
a moderate velocity not accurately de
termined, but due east or directly opposed
to tho surface current,
"And now with a whlstlo n blinding sheet
of hnll attacked tho noronauts, stinging
their faces so sharply oa to glvo tho Idea
that tho stones wero falling from a great
height, and Immediately afterward from all
sides and close around flashes of lightning
shot out with remarkable frequency nnd
vividness. Wo wero, in fact, fairly em
bosomed In the thundercloud. Other and
nonr observers narrowly watched tho phases
of phenomena now In progress. These were
tho countrymen who became Interested
spectators and who presontly came to our
assistance They seemed to havo Imagined
that the balloon must be Infallibly struck,
Inasmuch as It appeared to them com
pletely encircled with lightning. It was,
Indeed, tho worst storm tho countryside
had known for many years. At Dcvlzos,
only a few miles ahead, It lasted for five
hours continuously. A llttlo wny on our
right a house waB struck and burned to tho
ground nnd on our left a couple of soldiers
wero killed on Salisbury plain.
"Though tlv) storm progressed, It also
appeared to lag behind tho wind thnt boro
It nlong. It did not seem to advance
against us as a whole, but rather nbout
us, forming Itself out of what n fow mo
ments beforo had uppcarcd mere empty
and transparent air.
"Tho lightning ns seen by tho pcoplo In
the balloon seemed to' leap from cloud to
cloud and not from tho clouds to tho earth,
and tho noise ot the thunder consisted of
short, sharp reports llko the explosions of
guncotton without any of tho rolling re
verberations hoard on tho earth. The aero
nauts passed through tho thunderstorm un
injured, but it was trying to the nerves.
Tho question Is, with tho lightning playing
all around It nnd houses and men being
struck on tho earth below, why was not
tho balloon demolished by n thunderbolt?"

Hill n I re nn .Much Attention u .n.
I'nrt of the Hotly.
Of all parts of tho body, says the Pub
lic Health Journal, thero Is not ono which
ought to bo so carefully attonded to as
tho feet. Every person knows from ex
perience that colds aud many other diseases
which proceed from colds aro attrlbutablo
to cold feet. The feet are at such a dis
tance from "tho wheel at tho cistern" of the
system that the circulation of tho blood
may be very easily checked there. Yot,
for all this, and although every person of
common senso should bo nwaro of the truth
of what we havo stated, there Is no part
of the human body so much trifled with
as tho feet. The young und would-be-genteeled
cramp their toes and feot Into
thlnsoled bone-plnchtng boots and shoes
In order to display neat feot lu tbo fashion
able senso of tho term. Thero Is ono
great evil, aeslnst which every person
should bo on tbolr guard nnd It Is one
which Is not ottcu guarded against we
mean tho changing of warm for cold shoes
or boots.
A chauge Is often made from thick to
thtu-soled shoes without reflecting upon the
consequences which might ensue, ln cold
weather boots and shoes of good thick
leather, both ln soles nnd uppers, should
bo worn by all. Water-tlghts arc not good
If they arc nlr-tlghls, India rubber over
shoes should never be worn except lu wet
splashy weather and then not very long nt
once. It Is hurtful to the feet to wear any
covering thnt is ulr-tlght over them nnd
for this reason Indln rubber should be worn
ns seldom as possible. No part of the body
should bo allowed to have a covering that
entirely obstructs the passage of carbonic
ncld gas from the pores of tho skin out
ward and the moderate pnfsage of the
air Inward to tho skin. Llfo can be de
stroyed ln a very short time by entirely
closing up tho pores of the skin, Good
warm stockings and thlcK-soled boots and
shoes are conservators of health, and, con
sequently, of human happiness.
