The opinion seems to bc gaining strength.
that tho Pacific Railroad Is working
great change In the climate Of tho Plains.
Instead OF continuous droughts, all along
tho railroad, rain now falls In refreshing
abundance. This result has been re-
marked upon in other sections Of tho west.
In central Ohio, for example, II Is said.
tho climate has been completely rcvolu.
tionizcd since iron rails have formed
net work MI over that region. Instead OF
the destructive droughts formerly suffered
there, for some four or'fivo years there has
boen rain In abundance-cv moro than
enough TO satisfy the wants Of farmers.
This change Is thought to bc tho result Of
IN equilibrium produced In tho electrical
currents, which has brought about moro
uniform dispcnsation Of the rain. II ba
fact within tho observation Of all who re-
member ante-railroad times, that we bavo
now few or no such thunder storms s wo
formerly had In New England. Tho iron
rails which touch and cross each other In
every direction. serve rs conductors and
equalizers Of tho electric currents, and 40
prevent the awfhl explosions which used
to tcrrify us in former years. Tho telc-
graphic wires which accompany tho iron
rails everywhere. also act an important
part in difusing electricity equally thro'
the atmosphere, thus preventing the oc-
currcnce Of severe thunder storms.-Bos-
ton 7rarcilcr.

Those who. TO ascertain the knowledge
Of others, ask questions. should be sure to
frame them correctly. Tho following II.
lustratcs the point:
A subcommittee Of school board, not
thousand miles from Lynn. wcrc exam.
ming a class In primary school. One Of
the committee undertook To sharpen up
their wits by propoundins the following
question:
"If I had n mince pie. and should givo
two-twclhhs to John, two twelfth to
Isaac, two twelfihs 10 Harry. and should
keep half tho pic myself what should

There was profound study among tho
scholars; but finally ono held up his hand

Ho walked along. paying very little at

stracted with the thoughts Of his lsdylove;
but the revcrio was suddenly brought to
an end by some one from the rear. who
gave the Chinese lantern kick that sent
It dying.
"Confound you!" said the person from
behind, "hcre I have been slowing my
train for the last two miles on account Of
that red light"
And indeed Il was trus, for not far be-

Influence of Being in Love.

Every one knows how being In love
changes for the time mans spiritual at-
mosplicrc, and makes animation and bnoy-
ancy where before there was fiatness and
dnlncss. One may even say that this Is
the reason why being in love Is 20 popu-
lar with tho whole human race-bccause
It relieves in SO irresistible and delight
fal manner the tedium or depression Of
commonplace human life. And not only
does II change the atmosphere Of our spir-
its, making air, light, and movement
where before was stagnation aud gloom,
but It also scnsibly and powerfully incrcas-
cs our faculties Of action. 1t Is matter Of
tho commonest remark how u tinid man
who Is In love will show courage, or an
