Professor Prcece recommends as
among the essentials TO lie observed IN
attaching lightning conductors TO
houses, that there should be no JOINT,
unless it be a we'll .soldered one-chaln-
link rods, braided rope, tubing, etc.,

ton must be sound and good each
conductor, if there be more than one,
should have a separate ground connec-
ton, but are also to be connected to-
9 her, also connected with the lead
ro..ing and all masses of metal IN their
neiguborhood. 1t is, he says, not neces-
sary to insulate these conductors, n
there should be no points or acute
angles IN the cOnductor-the s~traighter
aud more direct its course to the earth
the better. Telegraphic wire, one
fourth of an Inch in diameter. is claimed
to be suD.rior for this purpose, and is

also believed to be Il safe estimate that
the area, protected by a conductor Is
equal to It's height above the ground.

People Who Wear Tights.

Zone Of the principal articles we
sell" said a stage costumer to a repoT-
ter ais tights. They are not only used
on the stage, but in almost every show
in the country. The demand for them
now is large"
DO they wear out eaSily?"
THAT depends entirely upon the
kind of show the wearer is acting in.
Circus riders wear the most. It's the
rosin on the horses back that does
that. Then the wearer perspirinc
makes it necessary to have them wash
ed every time they are used. a bare
back circus rider will wear out one On

way from 3 a pair up to almost any
price. The average pair fer circus pee

u seems that from Il scientific point
of view, perfectly clean hands are an
imposslbility. DR.. Forster says that
after the most diljgent washings and
~brushings with soap and water and
riGsings with carbolic acid and other

impure that upon touching the fingers

Tie report upon the fishes collected
upon the famous Challenger" expedi-
ton shows that all those dredged from
great depths two to three thousand
fathomsl possess bones and ligaments of
great softness, and muscles loosely con-
nected. This Is a provision to allow Of
the permeatlon of their tissues by the
water, since otherwise al the great
depth where they live the pressure of
the water, which shivers solid glass to

have distensible stomachs and wide
mouths, which can engulf fishes much

COLD FEET IN BED.-ThiS is a very
common complaint, and n that causes
a great deal Of sleeplessness. First, on
retiring at night, and again early in the
morning we are awakened by cold feet,
and cannot get them warm except by
drawing them up almost to the chin.
This occurs not only in the young but
In the middle-aged and the old. For
this there are two remedies, the hot
bottle and lambs wool socks, either or
both of which may be used. When we
consider that during the day, while we
are active, we wear stockings and
shoes, does it not seem strange that at
night, when the temperature of the air
is lower, and wien we are inactive, that
our feet should have less covering than
during the day? The reasonable plan
is to have a special pair of socks for
night use, put them on when going to
bed, and change them when we get up.
The result will be better and more SER
enc sleep; consequently we shall be
more able to undergo our daiIyexertions.
| say at once To all who suffer from cold
feet, get a pair of warm socks for night
wear. A good walk for half an hour
before retiring warns the feet and sends
a nice glow all through the body, and
disposes to sleep. 1t must not be sup
posed that these remedies make one less
able to stand the cold; they are simply
to retain the heat Of the body and allow
of comfort, and if followed much benefit
will be derived.

\ shlp-Canal for Rome.

There seems to be just MOVIE rage for
turning inland cities into seaports by
means of ship-canals. The last propC-
sal of this nature comes from an italian
engineer, Mr.. Gabassi, who suggests
that Rome should be connected with
the sea by a channel fifteen and a half
miles in length. The proposed canal
which it is estimated would cost nearly
S37, 500, 600, would have a width at the
bottom of s%eventy-twD feet and a depth
af twenty-slx feet, so that merchant
ships of the largest kind could take ad.

How TO RENDER LARD.-A CORES
pondent wishes to know how to cook
lard. If by this he means how to fry
it OUT or, as the country people say,
render it,it is done in this manner; Cut
the fat into small pieces aad put 1t in an
iron pot with a little water. Let it
simmer slowly until the scraps seem
dry. Be sure the water is all cooked
out. To ascertain this take some of
the lard up in a spoon and pour it slowly
back into the kettle. If it has a blush
look cook until it is perfectly clear.
After taking it from the fire let it stand
a little while before straiuing.
