Lightning Rods.

During the summer, when thunder
storms are most common, special atten-
ton should be paid, particularly in ex-
posed situations in country places, to
the condition of the lightning rods. The
main stem of copper lightning CON
ductor should never be less than four
tenths of an inch in diameter; this di-
mension is not sufficient for building
more than eighty feet high. Galvanized
iron may be used instead of copper, but
then the diameter should be, at least,
double that of acopper rod. A galvanized
iron-rope conductor should never be less
than eight-tenths of an inch in diameter,
a galvanized iron strip should be four
inches wide and one-eighth of an inch
thick. A lightning rod must be contin-
uous and unbroken from end to end. A
rod need not be attached to q building
by insulated fastenings; metal clamps
may be safely employed, provided the
rod be of good conducting capacity and
otherwise efficient. Above, the rod must
terminate in metal points, we'll projected
into the air; there should be several of
these points, and all perfectly sharp.
Tbe bottom of the conductor must be
carried down into the moist earth and be
connected with it by a surface-contact of
large extent. All large masses of metal
in a building should be metallically con-
nected with the lightning rod, except
when they are liable to be occupied by
people during thunder-storm-an iron
balcony, for instance. In such cases it
is better not to have the iron connected
with the conductor, for there is some
risk of persons standing on the balcony
furnishing a path for the lightning to the
rod. The rods ought to be tested each
year to make sure that the continuity is
perfect, and the ground connection sat.

MRestoncs on the Road to Health.

The recovery of digestion and the resump-
til of activity by the liver, bowels and kidneys
are mileStones which mark our progress on the
road to health. They speedily become pre-
ceptible when Hostetters Stomach Bitters it

peditiousy consumes the distance to the desired
goal. Asno bodily functions can suffer inter.
ruption without impairing the general health
of the system, 80 the system can never acquire
perfect vieor, healths synonym, until that
function BE- actively resumed. Take, for in
stance, digestion, suspension Of which is in

A Remedy for COnsumptiyes.

Medical men have known for q long
time that the best remedies for consump-
ton were plenty of pure air, sunshine,
and exercise, and also food that con-
tanned much carbon. Cod-liver oil has
been favorite remedy, and has done
good in prolonging the lives of con-
sumptives, and putting off the approach
of the grim monster. The virtues of
other remedies are in proportion to the
amount of carbon they can infuse into
the system to feed the consuming flame
that wastes the body. The theory is
that the internal fever burns up the car
bon in the blood faster than the food eat
en- can replace it. The disease then
preys on the fatty substances of the
body, and destroys the lungs, and event
ually life. In short, there is not oil
enough in the lamp for the wick, and the
latter is burnt and the light goes out.
The Chicago Tribune prints an inter-
esting letter from DR.. D'Unger, of
Minneapolis, Mimi, on this subject, in
which he makes public a prescription
which he declares has produced excel
lent effects, to his personal knowledge.
This is his prescription:
One-half pound f1ely-cut-up beef
steak (fresh);
One drachm pulverized charcoal;
Four ounces pulverized sugar;
Four ounces rye whiskey;
One pint of boiling wafer.
Mix all together, let it stand in cool
place over night, and give from one to
two teaspoonfuls liquid ard meat-be-
| fore each meal.

quently, and have never found it act
otherwise than benefcially. The dose
should be small at first, until the stomach
becomes used to it, and then gradually
increased
This remedy has, at least, the merit
of simplicity. Any me can try it.
