Isolated dabbler In science; but the eonclu-
sions arrived at by the commissioners appoint
ed by the Governments of France and Bri-
tain, for the special purpose of investigating
this subject. They may, therefore, be received
with the most implicit confidence
But, while it is easy to protect buildings
and ships, it is not always possible to protect
isolated human beings All that we can do
in this case is to avoid, as much as possible,
the vicinity of those objects that are likely to
attract the lightning. A few years ago some
wiseacre invented a portable lightning-rod,
consisting of an umbrella, having a metal
stem, to the lower end of which was attached
a chain that was allowed to drag along the
ground. Such continuance would be not
only useless, but dangerous AS 1t would be
utterly impossible to give such portable-rod
good ground-conneclion
. The old directions about feather-bcds, glass
windows, etc, are all nonsense. One of the
safest places is house furnished with good
rod one of the most dangerous is a barn
filled with new hay. Another very danger
Gus place is beneath a tree, and the middle of
an open field is nearly az bad. A distance of
fifteen to thirty feet from a tall tree is tole-
rably safe position. In house unfinished
with rods, the most dangerous places are
near the fireplace or chimney, and those cor
ners down which the water-spouts descend.
The carrying of large metal bars or rods is,
of course, dangerous, because every mass of
metal tends to open up n line of least resist
ance of which it will form a part and, if
the human body should form part of this
line, serious consequences may ensue. But
it is not probable that small articles, like
keys, watches, knives, ETC., exert any appre-
ciable influence.
Cases have frequently occurred where per-
sons in small boats have been struck and
killed. An instance of this kind occurred
within few weeks. In such cases, if the
thunder-cloud is very near, it will be advisa-
BILE TO lie down in the boat, even at the risk of
getting thoroughly drenched. Any object
elevated above the surface of the water in
ours great risk of being struck Every small
boat carrying a mast should be provided
with lightning-rod. 1t may be easily and
cheaply applied, and will prove perfect
protection.

CASH DISTRIBUTION.
THE GRAND GIFT CONC CERT
A FINED FACT.
SEPTEMBER 18th. THE DAY.
Your Tickets Now or Never.

The vast sales Of tickets already made, and the In
creasiPg smand for them from all quarters having
determined the Trustees that the GRAND GIFr Con-
CERT for the benefit of the PUBLIC LIBRARY OF
leTQ shall positively come on on that day, without
postponement, the management now notifies all who
expect to participate In the drawing tnat they
should buy their tickets at once. Delay for few
days caused many who wanted tickets at the con-
cert in December last TO go without them. Some
living in Louisville waited until sales closed,
expecting, no doubt a postpOnement, and then
offered fifteen. twenty aud even twenty-five dollars
for tickets which the day before were offered TO
purchasers at the regular price. Others living at a
distance sent thousands of dollars by mail and ex-
press which got here after the sales were closed,
and had to be sent back. These disappointments
need not occur again II the warning now given In
due season IL needed.
The drawing will begin precisely at O'Clock Sat
urday morning September 2s IS O. in the gre at hall
OF the Public Library building. and continue until
the one thousand gifts are all drawn.

Care OF Horses.

All horses must not DC fed n same proper
tions, without regard 70 theis ages, their con
stltutlors and their work Il. Improperly OF.
snch practice is seli-eviGcnt. Yet it Is CON
etantly done, and is the basis Of disease Of
every kind.
Never use bad hay on accOunt OF It's cheap
ness because there is no nourshment IN il.
Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious be-
cause it brings on inflammation OF the bowels
and skin diseases.
Chatf is better for old horses than hay be-
cause they can chew and diges. it better.
Mix chatf with corn or beans, and do not
give the latter alone, because it makes the
horse chew his TODD more and digest it better.
Hay or grass alone will not support horse
under hard work, because there is not sutf-
elena nutritive body in either.
When horse Is worked hard its food
should be chiefly oa,s-it no, worked hard its
TODD should be chiefly hay-becausc oats sup
ply more nourishment and flesh making ma
terial than any other kind of food hay not
80 much.
For saddle or coach horses, half 4 peck OF
sound oats and eighteen pounds of good are
sufficient. II the hay is not very good add a
quarter Of a peck more oats. \ horse which
works harder may have rather more OF each
one that works little should have less.
Rack feeding is wa-tefll. The plan is to
feed with chopped hay from manger, be
cause the food Is not thrown about, and is
more easily chewrd abb Gi-cstcd.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has hnt
salt dissolved in 1t, because it is pleasing tC
the animals taste and more easily digested
A teaspoonfll of salt in bucket of water i:
sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an old horse. bu
not for young one.-LoHdoa Norae Dyo&.

Lighting "a Fire.

Many persons have often noticed the ex-
treme difficulty encountered in Lighting the
fire In stove, especially In still. damp
morning. The stove A. first won't draw; even
vigorous blowing" will not suffice and then
when it does start, 1t is with a sort Of an ex-
plosion or outward rush Of air, which fills the
room with smoke and gas, oi,entimes putting
the unpleasant fumes in the face OF the opoIa-
for. The trouble is caused by the difficulty
encountered IN overcoming the inertia of the
long column of air IN the pipe Or chimney, by
the small column Of air, that can be forced up
through the lnterstlcs of wood and coal, at
the bottom OF which the fire is kindled. All
this may be rcmedled by simply putting few
shavings or bits of dry paper on top OF the
wood or coal, and first Lighting that; It i'm
media,ely bursts into blaze because the air
has perfectly free access to 1t from all sides,
the heated air forces its way into the chimney,
and establishes there an upward current. The
match can then be applied to the klndling un.
der the fuel which will readily light, and il
dry, burst INTO brisk blaze.-Amsricaa Rural

Fattenin:' Cattle Quickly or Slowly

There appears no room for questioning the
TACT that an animal iattened quickly makes
finer eating than IN animal which has been
fattened sl7wly, or which has remained fat tor
some time. The meat in such cases Is sweeter
and juicer, but whether it possesses any more
nutriment Is not quite SO clear. There are
many people who have had the privilege OF
partaking OF the flesh Of prize animals, which
had been maintained in high condition for
long time, and they have generally reported
the flesh as hard and tough and probably
they dld not Judge it as harshly AS they woulu
have done had they purchased the same cut
from the nearest butchers stall.
Aside from the matter Of quality, there Is a
question Of economy which is well worth con-
sldering. An animal requires acertain amount
OF food daily to sustain lite and supply heat
and waste Of tissues. 1t is only the excess of
food over these requirements OF nature which
goes to make fat or increase flesh. \ great
dea. more food Will be required to make one
hundred pounds increase in the weight of an
animal, it thirty days are taken tor it, than if
The feeding operations are confined to twenty
lays, and so on. There is where many make
.graye mistake. Animals in course of prepa.
.ation for the shambles should not be stinted
n feed. They should be fed on all they will
lat and assimilate properly Ard the more
IN animal will eat and properly assimilate in
given time, the more profitable he Will be
Tor feeding purpose, other things being equal.
The money in feeding is all made 10y tore
ing animals to the utmost, whenever their
preparation for the shamDes has been once
Undertaken.-Lire Stock Journal.
