Trees and Electricity.

Mr.: Percy Smith writes to the Lon.
don Times that "the post probable
cause of the liability of certain trees 10
be struck by lightning is that they are
bad conductors of electricity. The
suggestion that oak trees are struck
because they contain iron is both
erroneous and absurd. If oak did con.
tain iron, it would, in all probability,
increase its coS.iucting power and act
as prcServatlve. If oak contained an
estimabie quantity of that metal, the
wood would turn black on exposure to
air, on account of the tannin which is
present This blackening may be seen
SURF unding the iron nails in any oak
fence The contour of the ground. ma
ture of the soil and the presence OF
absence OF water have more influence
in deciding the locality of an electric
discharge than the height Of tee.
Add to this the difference in conduct
bility between various woods and we
have at once an explanation of the APP
parent peculiarly of tall trees escap-
ing uni armed while shorter trees are
destroyed"

GOLDEN SILENCE .

We May, If We Choose. Repress Unkind
or Censorious Spcech-W.asa tho Lips
Should Not BE Closed.
Silence is golden sometimes Espe-
cially it is golden when You are con-
scious of irritated nerves. and your
temper is in the condition which in
vites the last feather and rejoices to be
broken under its weight The most
amiably disposed people have their
days of darkness: their moods when
nothing looks bright; their seasons of
inconsistency, when they astonish their
friends by their success in the art of
being disagreeable.
If you and are sadly aware that we
are not in an angelic temper, that we
are fretted by petty things. and ready
to quarrel VITA our nearest and dearest,
in danger of saying sharp or bitter
things prompted by to-day's misery
which tomorrow we shall repent of in
sack-cloth and ashes, there is one safe
guard within our easy reach.
reel as we may, we can repress
speech. Cur lips are our own. We
may lock their gateway. if we choose,
TO whatever is unkind, or censorious,
or unworthy of our better selves. No
body compeIs us to find fault audibly.
Nobody urges us to scO.d or complain.
Ii we avail ourselves of the escape-valve
of hasty speech we shall certainly SUI
fer pangs of regret by and BY. besides
infiicting present pain on children and
servants, who can not answer back
when we chide; on brothers aud hus-
band who are too patient or too proud
to be resentful; OF. perhaps, on some
dear aged heart, which has had its full
OF sorrow, and does not need our adding
a drop to the trimming cup.
Silence is golden when we are tempted
to unkind gossip. Somebody's name is
mentioned, and at once recalls to the
mind an incident. forgotten story,
something which ought to be buried in
Ob,iviOn's deepest depths. Do not
yield for an instant to that suggestion
of the evil one which bids you revive
what ought to be kept buried in the
grave where it has found retreat The
impus Sc 10 speech on such occasions is
unwor by a Christian.
Silence is not golden when an absent
one suffers defamation, when il is the
badge of coward;ce, or when ONES
Christian belief should be asserted. To
sit with closed lips when all that is
most precious to heart and life is as
sailed by the tongue of the scorner is
far from noble-it is following the Lord
afar off and is next door to denying
Him altogether. -Christi0n Chronicle.

We are told this story of an earnest
Christian man in Lowell, the other day.
He is railroad conductor, and on
certain occasion attended an annual
convention of railroad men. three hun
dred strong. at Augusta. Ga. They
were there over Sunday. and the question
came up. How should they pass the day?
Many decided to make it day of bois-
ferrous pleasure. Then they asked this
man, who was very influential among
them. what he was going to do. He
answered.: Il am going to church"
The result was. che hundred and thirty
five men followed him to church that
day. So much for good Christian en-.

CANNE S.
Nice's Powerful Rival in the Favor OF
Winter Tourists.

Nice's Powerful Rival in the Favor o,
Winter Tourists.
Cannes, favorite resort of the En-
glish, is an hours ride from Nice to the
westward. 1t lies on beautiful bay,
like those which are so numerous along
this portion of the coast of the Medit-
terranean. with charming prospect to
seaward, pine-covered slopes pressing
up close behind it, and the loveiiest of
climates.
Where fails not hail, nor rain, nor any snow,
Nor ever wind blows loudly.
The villas of English winter residents
are conspicuous along the hillside, APP
pearing more tasteful and imposing
than those of Nice as one is whirled
along past them on the railroad that
skirts the shore just below. There are
handsome hotels and drives along the
seashOre, whence the Isle of Sainte
Marguerite is distinctly visible across
enc side of the peaceful bay. 1t was in
the prison on this island that the Man
with the Iron Mask was confined, and
here are still detained some Alger.ans
connected with the more recent re-
bellions in Algeria. 1t was Lord
He was on his way to Italy when
stopped by the quarantine at the bor-
der, which was then but a few miles
beyond. and during his enforced stay
he discovered the virtues of its climate
and made them known to his country
men. He built villa. which is still
shown to the curious, and after having
lived here TRANQUILITY for many years he
finally died here at an exceedingly ripe
old age. In recognition of his financial
value to the place, and also, l have no
doubt. out of sincere gratitude and re-
spect for his memory, the Cannese,
aided by English residents, have lately
erected handsome statue in his honor,
which has artistic merit and is a shin
ing ornament of the public place where
it stands. The Cannese have not vet
had time to become sophisticated in the
Nicois manner. and. therefore. their
ways are less sordid and repelleEt
though their time may come. The
town has its Roman and medieval an.
tiquities, its streets are suIfic emily mar
row and crooked to please the antigua
ran. while its peasantry are so simple
and uninteresting that they could not
fail to please the artist or the amateur
admirer of the picturesque. The re-
naming rivals of Nice on the west are
Hyeres and Grasse. while to the east
ward lie Mentonc, San Reno anG
Monte Carlo. the last, on account of the
proximity of the Alps having really
the most comfortable and salubrioas
climate of all the towns along The
French littoral or the Italian Riviera.

And angels of my joy partake
When Lord, Thou knowest" is my song.
When doubt impatient, would descry
Light in the darkness spread for me,
Faith hears the whisper 1t is L"
And drinks the cup mixed lovingly.
Thou knowest dearest friends grow cold.
And dearest hopes and Joys prove vain;
What else can faintng hearts uphold,
And comfort bring, for loss and pain?
Oh, what but Thine all seeing Eye
Can guide us through life's sea of ills?
What but the love that can not die,
deafness spirit hopes fulfil!
"Thou knowest," shall be nv staff and rod,
When none can reach helping hand
That shall support NE through the flood,
luto the longed-for. goodly lana.
