For some years a record of storms,
magnetic disturbances, ETC., has been
kept at the Berlin postofice. The re-
suit shows that underground wires are
much less disturbed by magnetic
storms than overhead wires, while, on
the other hand, accidents from light
ming are much less serious in towns
where the overhead system prevails.

A GLASGOW policeman was asked the
other, day what his views were on the
subject of police pensions. He replied
that Burns, when he Sas an exciseman,
exactly expressed them in his famous
toast: Heres to the last verse of the
last chapter of the last Book of Kings"
No more would he say, and the quer-
list, on going home, turned to his Bible
and read: "And his allowance was a
continual allowance given him of the
king; daily rate for every day, all the
days of his life"

No MATTER how much advertising
pays it certainly costs. A single page
in an issue of the Century, taken for
advertising purposes, costs $500; in
Harper's, $4OO down to 500. A year
" advertisement of one column in the
New York Herald costs $3,304 for the
lowest and 100000 for the highest
priced columns. These figures will
doubtless be of interest to men who in
vest So or 80 per month, and fatter
themselves with the idea that they are
extensive and liberal advertisers, and
that because of their investment they
ought to control the columns and die

another, he flung into top drawer
above his head. When the tide of his
fortunes turned and the same editors
asked for manuscripts who had former

venge. He gave those editors no new
manuscript, but with long forked
stick poked old ones from out the lofty
drawer and sent them just as they were
to publication. Had he tossed them
into the fire instead of that drawer he
would have destroyed matter worth
hundreds of pounds to him.

Doubtless Granite Hall will be we'll alled
to'nisht at the presentation of Richard
Golden's "Old Jed Prouty." The Portland
Argus speaks in the following high terms
of the play - given in Portland:
OLD JED PRoUrr.
Portland Theatre last evening contained
an unusually large audience. who thorough
ly enjoyed one Of the best things seen here
for many . season. Richard Golden has
created . happy character in "Oh Jed
Prouty," and one which should become -
we'll known and ~ much pstronized - con-
tempoi sDeous stage pictures Of Yankee
oafure. Mr.. Golden's acting shows the re-
cult Of close study and proper conception
Of . peculiar yet high minded and good
natured rustic character. The plot Of the
piece 10 based on certain occurrences in
Bucksport some Is years since, in which
Old Prouty, = popular innkeeper at that
time, figured very creditaby. The pith
Of the story relates to the attempted exc
cution Of bogus mortgage on the Prouty
Inn, in which Landlord Prouty and village
Squire Todd were bitterly arrayed against
each other. The Squire's come ction with
the case was purely official, but it was the
marriage engagement Of his daughter to
old Prouty's son that made the breach
ugIier--old Prouty hoping for at least some
consideration from the Squire, who, be-
lieving the mortgage genuine, proposes to
administer Justice even at the sscrifice OF
his old chum. the landlord. and the inflic-
ton of misery on the young lovers. The
test Of true Yankee character in the heat
of anger and tribustion and the good
nature and cheeriness that ever we're up
parmost, are the lessons taught by the play.
The situations and people Introduced COM
bine in producing much that is humorous
and something Of psthos. The audience
last evening were one moment convulsed
with laughter and the next sobered by some.
thing appealing to their sympathies. The
company 10 u strong one, each part being
assumed in . clever manner. One Of the
