The Best Lightning-Rod.

In general, lightning-rods cost great
deal too much. and are often badly made
and set up. They are not things to
play, or fool with, and bad rod is
worse than none, for it may attract the
and then fail to carry it off
without damage. The best rod is Of
three quarter inch round iron, drawn
to long, sharp point, which should be
made smooth, and gldel, or coppered.
The sections must be fastened together
with screw ferules, and the ends should
be filed smooth and bright, and be fixed
in contact. 1t is quite safe if fastened
to pole a few feet higher than the
building and set near to it, and it should
extend ten or twelve feet above the
pole. There is no need for glass fittings,
as insulators; iron eyes screwed into the
pole, are quite as safe as glass holders,
which are useless when wet.
The chief point is the ground con-
nection. This should be carried into
permanently moist earth, or, better still,
into water. We might give reasons for
all this, but if one wishes 20 know the
why and the wherefore, he should study
handbook of electricity, and he will
learn enough to make him quite match
for the peripatetic lightning-rod agents,
who, as rule, are not desirable visitors
A perfectly safe and effective rod may
be put up in the way above described
for ten to twenty-five dollars, and vii
be worth more than any of the patent
fancy things, in too common use.--1m

FARMERS COLUMN.

Landscape Planting for Winter Effect.
Harmony and contrasts are the lead
ing features necessary to produce pleas
ing impressions and striking effects in
lawn and park scenery. Toinsure these
in a satisfacty manner, requires not
only skill and keen appreciation of
natural beauty, but also an intimate
knowledge of the character, growth, and
general habit of each tree and shrub to
be employed. A single misplaced tree
may mar the effect of an entire group,
which otherwise, would be an object of
beauty.
Winter is not the proper season for
planting trees, but it is the most favor
able time for preparing plans for their
arrangement, and for determining and
nj lurking the places where they are to
be planted the coming spring. This is
especially the case when the production
of effective winter scenery is the object
in view. The material to be employed
for lis latter purpose. consists princi-
pally of trees with evergreen foliage, and
those having brilliant stems and
branches; the former impart warmth
and tone to winter landscape; while
the latter produce pleasing and often
decided contrasts.
The Red. barked Dogwood, several of
the bright yellow-stemmed willows, the
Golden-barked Linden, the Golden
barked Ash, with its yellow stem and
oddly twisted branches, and various
shrubs with brilliant colored branches,
may be advantageously used for the
purpose. Then there are many varieties
of trees-whosc dropping and curiously
shaped branches make them as attract,
i've when defolated as when in LEAKAGE
which are eminently adapted for COM
bina.ion with evergreens for winter
landscape effects. Owners of large
estates should not omit to plant some
portion Of their grounds, with special
view to their appearance in winter, while
even in small lawns the iudicious en-
ployment of few evergreens and trees
or shrubs. with brilliant colored bark,
adds much to impart brightness and
cheer to chill and dreary surroundings.

The seckei Pear-The Original Tree.

The Seckel is a small pear, but it
stands at the head of the long list of
pears, as it is not equaled by any in
point of quality-indeed it has long been
regarded by pomologists as the standard
of excellence. Like the great majority
of fine pears, this is chance Seeding.
The story of its origin, as related to
Downing by Bishop White is, that in
the boyhood of the latter (now over a
century ago), there was, in Philadelphia,
a well known sporting character, one
Clutch jacob who on his return from
his autumnal hunting expeditions, pre-
sented his friends with some very choice
pears, but would never tell where they
came from. After time, Dutch Jacob
purchased the land upon which the pear
tree stood. The tract soon afterwards
became part of the farm of Mr.,
Seckle, who introduced the pear to
public notice, and II received his name.
The original tree still stands, and we
were much pleased to receive not long
ago, from Mr.. John G. Browne, of
Philadelphia, a photograph he had taken
of the parent Seckel pear tree, and the
Seckle house, The property is situated
in the southern part of the City of
Philadelphia, in locality known as
Tho neck, very close to Girard Point,
where the Schuylkill emDties into the
Delaware River. The old tree is still
bearing fruit, but in a small quantity.
The trunk is much decayed. and can
not last many years longer.-DR. GEO,

COULDN'T sfANp rHE TEST.

"Who is this young fellow who has

looked up at his daughter. =. '''~.

''But he takes it in the parlor with

That evening, after Mary and her
beau had got comfortably seated, the
old man went coughing and stamping
into the parlor. The lovers plug hat
sat on chair. Foraker walked over to
that chair and sat down with all his
might, smashing the hat fiat as a ten
cent piece, and observed:
Zine evening, sir. What do the
papers tonight have to say about the
Servian-Bulgarian troubles?,'
The young man grew red-and then
white. He attempted to speak, but the
words would not come. He finally got
up, cast one annihilating look on the
old man, ignored the girl entirely, and
walked straight out of the room and the
house. As he descended the steps the
| girl ran to the door and called:
"Willah! Willah! won't you speak tc
mc?"
The old men followed and called:
."Bov, You'll catch cold in your head
without hat"
But the young man never halted mol
turned his head, and when his hoef
beats could no longer be heard on the
walk, the father turned to the girl ant
said: -.... -

LITTLE JAKE.

That was what he was always called,
for, although he was the elevator boy in
big dry goods establishment, he was
so small that ladies would look in and
inquire:
Where's the man that runs the ele
vator?"
Then Little Jake would pipe up from
his corner: "Here be-"
do not know anything to compare
him to, but ray of sunshine lighting
up dark place. He was of such lowly
statue that when he was in his corner
there seemed to be nobody there. But
gradually the small, earnest, cheerful
face grew visible, and as you looked it
frightened into such happy smile that
the little man seemed to fill the whole
elevator with sunlight.
wonder if the ladies who used to
give him a nod or word as they went
up and down absorbed in their pur-
chases will miss him now, and speculate
as to what has become of the quaint lit
tie fellow who was ever smiling, help
ing, always doing his duty bravely?
He went home sick one night and
said Good night" bravely, swallowed a
lump in his throat and ran off. The day
after his father came in.
"He was peter, mooch PETER" his
father said. 81
Then his mother came; they wanted
the place kept for the boy.
"Oh, so sick. He is too much sick
here" the mother said, laying her hand
on her breast.
"Tell him to get well, and he shall
have his place, said his employer. To-
morrow we shall come and see him."
But on the morrow the father came
into the store and his eyes were red and
! swollen.
"Mine leetle jake" he began, and
then broke down and said no more.
1t went the rounds of the store like
wildfre, the news that little Jake was
dead, and you would have thought at
least that he had been the proprietor
And he was, in small way, pro-

served; of their esteem, their good
