Terms for the Electric Force.

About the middle Of the last century.
through the genius Of Franklin, light
ming became identified with common or
FRACTIONAL electricity, but the language
referring to this great natural force con
tinued to be the same as when men were
ignorant of it's nature. They spoke, as
we still speak, of a thunderstorm, and
Of thunder and lightning, and thus, as
in other cases, mistook, as we continue
to do, at least in our mode Of speech, the
effect for the cause, 1t is commonly
said that the thunder turns to sourness
the milk and the beer; that there is
thunder in the air, and the smuggling of a
tree by lightning twas due to the thun-
der last night as its owner informed
me few weeks ago. Even Scott, in
1.-THE Heart of Midlothian" speaks of
"the shattered and thunder splitter
peaks Of Arran."
Our gratitude is due to those gifted
men who have been able to divest
natural phenomena of the ignorance
and superstition that formerly encum-
bered them, and so to bring them under
the dominion of scientific laws which
appeal to the good sense of all students
OF nature.-Notes and Queries.

One WOman's Life Story.

1 am twenty-five years old and have
been married four years. My husband
was visiting at my home (Which was in
England) at the time Of my birth, there
fore was acquainted with me from ear
Hest infancy. AS we grew up we were
frequently thrown into each others
society, but when he arrived at the age
OF seventeen and was twelve we were
parted, my husband coming to America,
where he staid five years, at the ex-
piration Of which time we were to be
married; but unfortunately he lost all
his money in Liverpool, and on arrival
at my home was penniless. Consequent
ly we could not be married. My hus-
band returned to this country TO work
for another year to earn enough money
TO pay my passage over, as we were en-
tirely dependent on our own exertions.
At the end Of twelve months he again
started for England, but had TO return
again on account of collision. Finally
he arrived in England, where we were
married a short time after and sailed for
New York. AS soon as we landed
was taken very sick, was taken to hos
pital and went under dangerous opera
ton, which cost every cent Of money we
had in the world. AT last got better,
we hired a couple of rooms, my hus-
band succeeded in getting work, and al
though we are very poor we are very
happy. am the proud mother OF two
children.-Cor. New York Recorder.

Cleanliness as a Luxury.

Many rich persons. who give aims but
never time nor personal investigation to
the subject, say, "At least poor people
can keep themselves and their houses
clean" They do not know that cleanli-
ness demands money and time. With
ont soap it is impossible to wash towels
or sheets or even faces and hands in
this grimy city, and hot water is a
luxury if you have to save every scrap
of coal or wood. l have seen families,
naturally inclined to cleanliness, go very
dirty indeed for want of hot water,
soap and ambition. Ambition is expen-
sive, too, and costs as much as many
tangible items to keep up. can i'm
agine perfect apathy as to smudqes and
CRIME if did not own q towel.--Chi-
cago Post.

carry on two or three will never suc
Ceed in either. The truth OF this is
seen in the mercantile failures, for
they are ai,Sost all due to the fact thai
men have gone into outside things with
which they are not familiar. Paul's
i motto, "This one thing / do" is ss
good maxim for the young man in
usiness as in religion.
(5) He must, in order to master his
| ow n business, study the broad questions
| WIFI, CHI are 30 important to the whole
nero antile world. He should study the
probls ms of free trade and tariff, the
silver question, emigration and the
hitting OF population, transportation,
the prop or adjustment Of capital and
labor. II ere IL no end of literature
upon all tb, sc questions and it is within
the reach OF all. 1t broadens a young
| man thus TO come into touch with the
whole world, it will greatly increase
his value to his employer and will open
up to him more certainly the path of
honorable success, have in mind as l
write one OF the bes business men in
this city who started as a poor boy with
only poor grammar school education,
but he put his first earn ings into books,
and his time into reading them, until
he is thoroughly posted on all business
questions, and his counsel and advice
are constantly sought. What my
friend has done any young man may do
if he will.
(6) One final thought. Every young
man ought 10 have an earnest desire to
achieve success. LISA worthy ambition
to work towards having an "interest in
the business" Putting it on no higher
plane. a young mans chance of reach.
ing he goal is increased many times
by entering at the beginning of his life
into the divine partnership which Jesus
Christ offers. No young man can open
his heart to the incoming of the Spirit
of God without it's enlarging and bless
ing him in every way. His mental fac.
ullies are enlarged with the spiritual.
He has better judgment, he is cooler in
an emergency, he is more ready in re-
,ources. AS the mind reacts upon the
body, and especially as he is taught to
believe that the body is sacred because
it is the dwelling. place of God, he will
be physically stronger man because of
his religious convictions. He will care
for it more wisely. He will use his
whole being as a trust. He is strong
always, because he is conscious that his
life is plan of God, and that there is
divine will leading him on. The
world often wonders how some men &C.
complish so much, but their intimate
friends know the reason-because they
talk freely with, and take their guild
ance from, him who is wisdom and
power. Goodness is profitable for
the life that now Isl" and other things
being equal, the young man who, in
the whiil and excitement of the daily
business, never forgets the silent part
ner above, will be the victor. " Come
up higher" will be the summons to him
in the marts of trade, and the same
words will be repeated with richer,
fuller meaning when he enters the real
life beyond.-S. b. Cdpen, in The Ad-

Wealth Does Not Bring Happiness.

Senator Stanford is the reputed pos
sessor Of $30,0O0,000 By his own esti-
mate it will be trebled in three years.
He has made it all, and life is approach
ing the end of its activity. He was
asked this question, docs wealth give
happinessP"
"No," he answered with promptness,
shaking his head slowly.
Happiness, after the ordinary COM
forts Of life are possessed, does not be-
long to any post, rank or condition.
Great wealth involves immense care. 1t
Is care that kills 1t is care that put me
In my condition. If wealth is intelli-
gently used, there may come a certain
happiness from its bestowah"
"Then why this incessant rush after
wealth."
"Bread and butter is the first essential
Of life; that's the first necessary stimulus
to labor. Then men work hard that
they may enjoy the surplus fruits of la
Dor. With our standards Of living and
the products of civilization little does
not satisfy as sufficient surplus. The
natives of Panama, who can count but
ten, will labor hard to reach that goal
of requirements, but that accomplish
ment satisfies"
"Why are successful Americans sell
dom satisfied unless increasing wealth
already great"
ACTIVITY has become habit. They
are accustomed to living faster than any
where else in the world. Many men, too,
are not yet educated to enjoy anything
but the struggle itself. That education,
though, will come in time."-New York
