"Men who live in glass houses should

'fulness of which we often see exempliHed
in everyday life. Last week in case in
the Court of Common Pleas ex-Judge Cooke
represented the plaintiff to the action and
ex.So!:citor Perry represented the defend
ant. The defendant had several colored
witnesses, one Of whom was very black,
ignorant fellow. whose testimony the ex-
Judge sought to destroy by proving by the
witness himself that he had served tern
In the Penitentiary. The questions and
replies bearing directly on the point were
in substance as follows: Ex-Judge-Were
you ever indicted in the Courts Of this
State ? Witness--Yes. Ex.J.-What for

who pardoned your W.-Well, sir, don't
believe I know exactly now who 1t was
Ex-J.-It was Gov. Moses, wasn't it? W.

Pennsylvania has a soil and climate
as well adapted TO growing apples as

Where the orchard is suitably located,
and varieties selected that are known
to do well in the place with proper
cultivation and pruning given, we
can grow apples in abundance. We
have plenty Of very excellent Summer
and Autumn varieties that do finely
for their season. But for long keeping
Winter varieties, we are far from

formerly kept well in Winter and into
early Spring. They now mature early,
fall from the trees and when gathered
soon decay. Here is an open field for
some inventive genius TO create in some
way a lower temperature by mechani-
cal or chemical means, so that we can
gather these five varieties when mature
and place them in low temperature
till Winter sets IN. This comes at q
time when ice has become scarce, so
that other means need to be looked
after. We may yet by experimenting
with new varieties, find some that
ripen later and hold better to the

ABOUT LIGHTING.
What "a the cause of LIGHTNING ?

: What ls the cause OF lightning?
Lightning is the result of electrical
discharges from the clouds.
What is thunder2
Thunder is the noise which succeeds
the rush of the electrical fluid through
the air.
When does lightning occur2
When clouds charged with the op
posite electricities approach, the forces
rush to each other, and com bine in q
state of equilibrium.
Why does lightning attend this
movement of the forces of electricity
! Because the atmosphere, being una.
bic to convey the great charges OF
electricity as they rush toward each
other, acts as an insulator and the
lightning is caused by the violence Of
the electricity in forcing its passage.
When the conducting power is equal
to the force Of the electricity, it passes
invisibly, noiseessly and barmlessly,
whenever il finds a sufficient force OF
conducting power.
Why does lightning sometimes ap-
pear forked
Because, being resisted in its pro.
gress by the air, the electricity divides
into two or more points, flies from point
to point, and seeks passage in differ.
ent directions.
Why is it dangerous to stand near
tree during an electric storm
Because the tree is better conduc-
tor than the air, and electricity would
probably strike tho tree and pass TO
tho person standing near.
Why is it dangerous to be near fire.
placer
Because the chimney, being good
conductor, would probably attract the
electricity and convey it to the body
OF person sitting near the fire.
Why is il dangerous to sit near
water during thunder storm
Because water is a good condutor
and the vapor arising from it might
attract the electricity.
Are iron houses dangerous2
No; they are safe, for their entire
surface is a good conductor and would
convey the electricity harmlessly to
the earth.
Are iron bedsteads dangerousg
No; they are safe, because the iron
frame, completely surroundingtho body
and having a great capacity for con.
duction, would keep electricity away
from the body.
Why is it safe TO be in bed during
thunder storm
Because feathers, hair, wool, cotton,
etc, especially when dry, are good
insulators or non conductors,
What is the safest position to bo in
during a thunder storml
In the centre of the room, isolated
as far as possiblo from surrounding
objects; sitting on q chair and avoid
ing handling any of the conducting
substances. The windows and doors
should be closed to prevent drafts Of
air.
If in the open air, what is the safest
situation.
To keep aloof as far as possible from
any elevated structures, regard the
rain as protection against the light.
ming stroke, for wet clothes would sup.
ply so good conductor that a very
large charge Of electricity would pass
over mans body through wet clothes
and he would be quite unconscious

Of the so called County Institutes in

dollars TO each Institute and makes il
obligatory on the County Superinton-
dent TO hold such meeting, giving him
the right to charge all teachers in
attendance one dollar for instruction
at the institute and ono dollar for ex-
animation. They are held during the
months of July and August at the
county seat OF each county for term
Of four weeks. Their attendance is
about the same proportion of all the
teachers as that at our annual County
Institutes but in character similar to
that of our County Normals-the OBJ
ject being TO prepare the teachers for
examination The requirements for an
ordinary certificate being the same as
in Pennsylvania, with the addition Of
Physiology, which is a State law.
They have three grades Of certificates
here, each Of which isgranted only for
one year Hence every teacher Of tho
State, unless he has a diploma, must
pass an annual examination. | am
