Y., Thursday night played havoc among the electric wires of all descriptions. A citizen groping his way home through the storm walked intoatangle of wires that had been borne from their fastenings by the 'wind. A telephone wire was among themand it had fallen across a fully charged electric conductor strung in ‘ The man was horribly burned Over- the air. and soon died from his injuries. head wires are safe enough when good weather prevails, when there are no fires in-their vicinity, when they are let severely alone, when the streets are not used for any purpose that inter- feres with the privileges of the wire owners. Under all these circumstances and a few Others it is not dangerous for the air to be filled with electric con- ductors of high potentiality. Hobo- ken’s citizen had the temerity during a storm to venture forth into a street that was decorated with these nine- teenth century festoons. He should have remained close w1thin doors. It should be a rule in all cities thus afflict- ed that every resident goes into the streets when the wind is blowing at his The rights of the wires must be preserved. own peril. 4‘ r ”"9 Island Troubles. . It looks very much as if the people in the eastern part of Long Island would have to give up living for awhile or go elsewhere to carry on the busi- ness. In the first place they were as-‘ sailed by herds of deer, which appeared to have absolutely no conscience. These ordinarily mild and timid beasts overran the gardens, ate up .the -cab- bages, nibbled whatever they found good to eat, and are now lying in wait for the roasting ea1s giowing in the comfields. They hopped over fences with the agility of trained hunters and stamped their feet at the people, and all but laughed at the scare-crows. If they did not actually break forth in loud ha has, it was because their mouths were not constructed right for laughing; not because they did not feel happy. It is no compliment in Long Island nowadays to call a girl a little dear. She would rather be called a. pet mosquito. But that was not all. mainly in the fishing business, the Long Islanders turned their attention to the sea when their gardens were eat- en up, and managed to keep body and soul alive in the intervals of chasing the deer by hauling in great draughts of fishes from the briny deep. But even this pantry was to be raided. Whales appeared on the scene, a school of them, without any teacher to keep order, a vacation school, a most ob~ Being engaged streperous school'of two hundred schol- ars. These whales have been tearing through the waters in the neighbor- hood of Montauk Point eating all the small fish they could find and hunting for more. The fishermen have nets there to catch sturgeon. The whales go through these nets like a circus lady through a paper hoop. - 1 They chase the fishermen out of the way when the latter go out in boats to see after their property. A Long Is- land fisherman is brave, but he is not the kind of man to play at tag with a creature big enough to knock him half way to the moon with one flip-of the tail, and the fisherman to be “it” all through the game at that. So he has ' resolved to go after these whales with bomb lances. thing about it the whales may be so de- termined to get a Jonah that they will come right up on land after him; and then, between the ten-tined buck and the joyful leviathan, he'would be in a pretty mess indeed. And then, if he kills an occasional 'whale he can at least live on blubber till such time as the marauders see fitto let him alone. Mentauk Point is not a good place in ' which to spend a summer vacation just now. —No claims, " no aflidavus, out a GAZETTE advertisement gets there every time. I If he doesn’t do some-. FEMININE CHAT. The gold fever and hay fever are both Iipe. - Black velvet will enjoy a most decid- ed popularity this coming winter. A consciousness of having performed ‘ one’s duty in heart whole fashion helps to make life more livable. No woman with the instincts of a housewife can sit down comfortably to read until the beds are made. A few late cherries in the market make one feel that summer has just be- gun rather than that it is nearly over. The woman who owns a lot of filmy frocks just home from the dressmaker’s, can see no advantage in a cool spell. Many a wheelwoman discovered dur- ing the past week that her bicycle boots were just the things for rainy day promenades. ' How many women who are otherwise particularly neat about their, attire prance forth with their skirts gaping sadly at the back ? Why is it we feel a sense of personal grievance against the postman when he fails to br1ng us the letter for which we are looking. ‘9 The ocean in a storm is a grand sight, but for a steady spectacle sojourners at the seashore prefer beholding it spark- ling in the sunshine. Open meshed fabrics with gay silk linings will be worn throughout the early autumn. Everyone admits that a woman “land- lord” is much harder to deal with than a man. ' The poem “Some days must be dark and dreary, it rains and the wind is never weary,” must have been inspired during such weather as we have been treated to lately. Shopping in comfort has been one compensation, though the almost de- serted stores have undoubtedly looked anything but cheerful to the heads of the establishment. . If there are any invalids among the list of your acquaintances remember them these days, for every perfectly well persons get the blues when the weather is so depressing.’ It is generally the poor clerk who only has a week out of the whole year for rest and recreation who is treated to such a session of rain as'we have been treated to lately. Dignity is put to rout when a beard- ed, be-spectacled man of advanced years is obliged to sit on the back Of a seat in the open cars in order to keep his feet out of the wet. There is noth- ing he resembles so Strongly as an un- happy barn yard fowl. HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WH AT TO DO.

It corrects inability to hold urine and scaldin pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects fo lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of SWamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
