To take both hands ana try his strength.
Alas, poor man, he did sit down
To have his tooth took out in toxin.
The dentist without a thought
Commenced his work ike II the shop.
Without soul to hold his head
The smith did on his toes tread.
Now when this work had fair commenced
The smith he pulled with all his strength,
Like Sampson then with all his strength
This man was pulled from off the bench.

A protracied meeting that has been in
progress here for the past twelve weeks has
just been closed. Thus you see We pay a
proper regard for religions meetings.
Our Literary Society me. last Friday
evening for the first time in thirteen weeks.
Attention to the revival just mentioned was
ihe reason of the long interval OF rest from
meeting on the part ofthe Society, 1t was
rather disorganizing in its tendcacy 10 not
meet for 20 long time. but We have sur
vived 10. The last question for debate was,
:. Does q man gain more information by
travelling than by reading f.' The question
was little too long on the table, and mis-
cellaneous reading TOOK its place by resolu
. tion. The Srciety has been living organ
lzaiien fifteen months, and its advancement
in this short time is worthy of note. Both
old and young people who are connected
with il have been much improved by it. It
I is good school Tor tn. yonng. In it they
can trsnn tor after days in life, for more ad-
! vsnced stations, if il be their lot to occupy
, such. Friday night viii long be remem-
tsred. 1t was cheering sight to see chill
dren walk up to the platform and address a
fun house, with comic and serious reading.
The best on the programme was the paper
reading by the editor Of the Society He
seemed to have something in his paper
about everybody hcreabouts, and some OF
the strokes were keen. Ii 1 belonged to
the Society Ia keep an eye on him.
These are few OF the items read. The
first one was composed by the son of a
member of the Society: :. Who threw that
tobacco chew at friend the time Of prayer,
and then crept on his hands and feet in the
aisle OF the church ami made a mouth at

lightning Rods.


The committee appointed by the
Project of the Seine to superintend
the construction Of lightning con-
ductors in Paris has been changed
into a permanent one. A sum of
$4,000 has been appropriated by
the municipal council for recon
structing all the lightning conduct
ors in Paris, or at least all those
which may be found defective or
inefficient. This sum is a first IN
stalment, as the whOla of the work,
it is supposed, will cost $25O,OO0,
although the committee do not
recommend the use of copper CON
d%uctors.
Until the appointment Of the
committee, lightning conductors
were constructed by ordinary black
smiths, under the superintendent
of architects who knew nothing Of
physics. A competitive adiudica-
ton took place recently, between q
number Of competent electricians
for the construction Of all the
lightning conductors on the Pari:
municipal monuments. The sue
cessful competitor is NJ. Cronet,
well-known electrician. A list of the
instructions with seventy carefully
drawn provisions has been pub.
lished. The continuity must be
tested yearly, and the contractor
will be paid by instruments so that
his claim will be cleared up only
when the efficiency Of his work
shall have been tested during a Ger
tain number of years.

it done as 1901 as possible, as he claims
that his present wharfage room Of about
600 feet is not sufficient, and he has been
squirting up the City Fathers on the Lou
den contract matter. The respective
skoupschinas Of our city refused to con
cur with each other as to the time, and
in consequence the Council adjourned
independent of the Aldermanic Board
for twenty. four hours, which by charter
it had a right to do, and the A%ldermaniC
Board had to follow suit. The General
Council will assemble again this after
noon and in better humor.

The Reds victorious on Yesterday
at Central Park.
About four hundred people visited
Central Park, near the head of Vance
Street, in order to witness the second
game of base ball between the Reds and
the Blues. The latter club, composed Of
a few professionals and men from many
Of our best amateur clubs, vas anxious
to defeat the Reds if possible, but in the
first game between them and the Reds en-
Sunday last they suffered a defeat by a
score Of 4 to 2. Yesterday they sought
for revenge but their defeat was wors 2
than before, the score being 8 to l
Burkalow's scientific and unique pitch.
ing and Kenneday's catching settled the
matter for the Blues. The Blues deserve
credit for being ambitious and making an
effort to defeat the only professional club
of the city, but such a result is q difficult
one to accomplish, and it takes a strong
professional club to do that thing,
the Reds being we'll coached and drilled
and knowing each others play and
strength in every particular. A bad
error on the part Of RAja gave the Blues
one more run than they we're really en-
titled to. The tabulated statement OF
the score is as follows:
