More men like that village car
penter of whom one of his neigh
bors is reported to have said !:
"He has done more good, 1 really
believe, in this community, than
any other person who ever lived
in it. He can not talk very well
in prayer-meeting, and doesn t
very often try. He isn't worth
two thousand dollars, and it's
very little he can put down
on subscription papers for any
good object. But a family never
moves into the village, that he
does not find them out, to give
them a neighborly welcome, and
offer any little service he can
render. He is usually on the look
out to gye strangers a seat in his
pew at church. He is always
ready to watch with a sick neigh
Der, and look after his affairs for
him; and Eve sometimes thought
he and his wife heep house
plants in winter just for the sake
of being able to send little bou-
quets to invalids. He finds time
for pleasant word for every child
he meets, and you'll always see
them climbing into his one-horse
wagon when he has no other load.
He really seems to have a genius
for helping folks in all sorts Of
common ways. and it does me
good every day just TO meet him on

The House In Which Lee Surrendered.

Major Mclean owned and lived
on the farm on which the Bull
Run fight, or the first Manassas en-
gagement, took place. About June
l, 1861, the position of the armies
was rather close and uncomfortable,
and the Major refugeed to Apo
mattox, with his family, and pur-
chased the house in which General
Lee surrendered to General Grant
and was present when the articles
of agreement we're signed. He
occupied the building until his
death, when it was purchased by
Mr.. N. H. Ragland, who died about
one year ago, and is now owned
and occupied by his widow, who
has been offered a handsome price
tor the historical spot, but as yet
had refused all the tempting prop
ositions made. In the same room
where at one time stood Lee, Grant
and their stats, have stood three
brides, and the most remarkable
part is that all were sisters, one OF
whom was married in 1869, QUE IN
1879 and one in 1889, ten years
having intervened between each
marriage The old house has been
remodeled since the war, but tour
lists visit the place very frequently
and secure shingles and other por-
tions of the old building as memen-
toes of the day and place that has
become famous the world over.

A Tree George Washington Marked.

Before arriving al Capon Springs,
W. Va, about half a mile from the
spring, a narrow way is seen lead
ing directly across the road, in one
direction toward the distant Ohio.
This way was made by the order of
Gen. Braddock to facilitate the
march of his army during the last
French and Indian war which
preceded the Revolution. Wash
ington was then on Braddock's
staff, serving with the rank Of Col
onel. A tradition is carefully pre-
served that he and Braddock drank
at the beauty spring, which spring
was we'll known to the Indians,
and deemed by them to have great
medicinal properties, especially for
rheumatism. The Indian maidens
were supposed to be quite fond Of
walking in its waters on account of
of the silken character which it i'm
parts to the skin.
But the great curiosity of Capon
is the only tree remaining, which
has the Surveyors mark made by
Washington when he measured
the Fairfax estate for its ancient
lord. Capt. Vale, the proprietor of
the springs, on whose lands it has
stood for so long, on account of
an accident which has happened
to it, has had it hewn down and
brought to the patch where it is to
be set up, With proper marks for
recognition.
Such a relic ought to be in
possession of the National Mu-
scum at Washington. 1t is the only
relic of the kind which relates to
the early life of Washington, long
before the era of his fame, when
he wandered through the woods Of
Virginia intent only on his proSes-
sion.

resistance, though zlgzag, is the
one chosen. Metals arc good con-
ductorS hence large masses OF
metal. like a tin roof. iron stair
way or gas-pipes, may determine
the path of a lightning discharge.
Very few lightning rods are
properly constructed. The metal
is most often too thin and too
easily fused, No rod is reliable
that weighs less than eight ounces
per running foot-it should weigh
more.
Thin copper rods said to be gal
vanized are worthless there is no
need for covering copper. A twisted
rod is not appreciably better than
a solid rod. Little glass insulators
are perfectly worthless. All rods
should be securely fastened to the
building by iron spikes Copper
is very expensive, and while a oct
ter conductor than iron, it is more
readily melted and may set fire to
the building. Good authorities
consider the following arrangement
a safe protection for a dwelling
against lightning: A common solid
iron rod, round or square, about
three-quarters of all inch in diane
ter or on a side, projecting FIVE or
six feet ADORE chimney tops or
gable ends, with stout cone at
top-not sharp points be
securely fastened to the roof. From
this point it should be carried by
the most direct path to the ground,
every few yards being firmly at
tached to the roof and walls OF the
building. 1t should be passed into
the ground several feet from the
foundation of the building. About
four feet beneath the surface the
rod should be firmly attached to a
piece of plate iron, one-eighth inch
thick and FIVE or six feet square,
which is to be entirely bedded
in charcoal. This terminal to every
rod passing into the ground is very
important. Nearly all accidents to
buildings from lightning have been
attributed, after careful inspection,
to rods defective at this point.
Nearly all rods are pushed down
FIVE or six feet into the ground; this
banters lightning to do it's worst.
If lightning has not a safe and
respectable escort from a building
it will not only refuse to 60 at all
but it will take possession for
about one millionth Of a second,
which is abundant for all its pur
poses. The rod should be painted
to prevent rusting. If there are
gas-pipes in the house, one Of the
rods should be in metallic connec-
ticn with the main where it enters
the building.
The above plan is cheap. Any
good blacksmith can readily carry
it out. -
Where wire fencing is used about
dwellings, or for enclosing stock,
wires should be r,un down the posts
every few hundred yards, connect
ing the fence wires all together,
| and then be passed into the ground
thus putting up a number OF
small lightning rods, which pre-
vent an accumulation Of induced
electricity from taking place in the
wire fencing.

A flash of lightningproduces less
terror than "clap of thunder"
But even among those who know
the destruction there is much nerv-
business on the approach Of a thun-
der-storm. There is general I'M
preston That metals draw lightning.
Z saw in a paper Of this State that
man was killed by lightning be-
cause he happened to have in his
hand an axe during a thunder
storm. I know book that claims
{ to be serious which describes how
a young lady at some entertain
ment, one evening, walked out on a
balcony, and, stretching out her
hand to see if it was raining, had
the beautiful gold bracelet upon her
arm melted like wax by a sudden
stroke Of lightning, she remain
ing unhurt. Many persons at the
first mutterings Of distant thun-
der storm begin to divest themselves
of everything metallic. have seen
thimble, needles, scissors, hairpins,
hurriedly put aside for fear OF at
tracing the lightning. I know OF
a young lady who, on one occasion,
at the approach of storm, strip
ped herself of all her metallic ap-
pendages and then Jumped upon a
bed for safety. After the storm,
was over she was Mortified to find
she had been reclining upon a
brass spring mattress. Is it rea-
sonable to suppose that lightning
that can leap from d cloud one or
two miles high, that is aiming with
all a lightning's haste and fury to
reach old mother earth, could be
turned aside to disturb a hair-pin
that is quietly nesting in a lady's
hairs Lightning is indeed eccen-
tric, but it's ambition is immense"
and it never loses its self-respect.
A Wall street speculator aiming
after wealth could not be turned
aside by a "copper" cent''-a good
conductor as far as it goes, but
'tis not enough. A French writer
of note says: 1T is known that
the skin of our black brethren is
peculiarly insulating-that anegro
introduced into an electric chain
generally arrests the shock" The
same author syriously states that
