and pathetic, and his whole address grand ly eloquent. The Hartford Courant con- tains the following in report of our tenn perance day exercises: 4 Col Geo. w. Bain of Kentucky was next introduced, and delivered an eloquent temperance address. There was little of the prohibition sentiment in his talk, but what was there was of an uncompromis- ing character. His appeal was in the main to the young.
 The Willimantic Chronicle has the fol- lowing: Then followed the incomparable address of Col. Geo. w. Bain of Lexing- ton, Kentucky-Mr. Bain has been well called "silver tongued orator." The lecture was simply unreportable-now in- vective, now pathos, now humor alter nately thrilling with eloquence, causing the eyes to weep, and the sides to shake with laughter. There is simply only one "Bain" and he we'll sustains the repnta- tion of Kentucky as the home of orators.
 Like all pleasant gatherings and good times, this one had it's end as we'll as it's beginning, and with braver hearts, strong CT courage, more earnest desire to be loyal and energetic in the great work in which we are engaged, we anticipate even a more blessed time when another year shall have rolled around and brought us together for another temperance day at Willimantic camp ground.

Telegraph. Line Before Morse's.
 Honor to the pioneers in the vast field of science! MT. John Slime has published at the Chiswick Press in pamphlet form very interesting memoir of Sir Francis Ronalds. Twenty years before Wheat stono and Cooke or Morse had patented their improvements in the telegraph, in deed while the first two were respective. ly lads of 12: and 14 years of age, Ro- nalds had sent messages over eight miles of overhead wires of his own construc- tion and had laid and worked a service able underground line of telegraph of sufficient length to demonstrate the practicability of communication by tele- graph between long distances
 Details of his overhead telegraph wires were published by him in 1895. Ro- nalds' residence at Hamnersmith, where these experiments were carried out, is the house now and for long past occu- pied by MT. William Morris, the poet, who has caused a tablet to be placed on the wall bearing the inscription, 'sThe first electric telegraph, eight miles long, was constructed here in 1916 by Sir Francis -Ronalds, F. R. s." etc. An autotype facsimile of a ortrait of this father of electric communication &C., companies the publication = London Telegraph
 Calculating the Distance of a Storm.
 Although lightning and thunder occur always simultaneously, an interval of shorter or longer duration is usually ob- served between these two phenomena. which is due to the fact that sound trav- els only at the rate of HOO feet per sec ond, while the passage of light is almost instantaneous. Based upon this fact; it is an easy matter to tell, at least approx imately, how many miles a thunder storm is away. A normal pulse will beat about one stroke to the second, and by counting the pulse beats during the interval of the lightning and the thunder the lapse of seconds is arrived at and consequently the number of feet. which can be reduced to miles.
 For example: If 30 seconds elapse be- tween the flash of the lightning and the crash of thunder, the storm center is at a distance of 33,000 feet, or about 61 miles. An almost accurate calculation can be made by using a watch with a minute dial.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Cornelius was summing his consequent
tial little rotundity on his Office steps,
in the arm-holds of his waistcoat and
his dumpy little legs stretched import
antly apart. A benevolent complacency
suffused his features, for he had just
lunched and felt good. Moreover he
had transacted a fair business in the
morning, and among other dealings had
got rid OF a parcel of slightly "off color"

In their journey up the streams the
first run OF fish push on rapidly to
the upper pools and head waters, one
hundred miles or more, unless pre-

been caught sixty miles above the
estuary before one has been taken in

Joined by Others as the run pro-
crosses.
Why is this? Have the fish any
remembrance OF where they spent
their youthful days, and remain there
while Others pass them?
1t is now received as an undoubted
fact that every fish knows its own
river, but I go further than that, and
think every fish has a particular
place in the river where it wishes to
remain. Were all the salmon in the

There is vast difference between a
house and home. The house is but
the building and the furniture-the
outward shelter and the gathering
place of the household. The home in
cludes the kindly family affection, the

and mutual confidence and trust of the
memb ers. \ true home breathes the
atmosphere of love. A child should be
made to feel that his homes indeed a
home-the happiest place in the world
to him-not merely an outward shelter
and resting place. but center of en-
joyment. sanctified and purified by
love, the thought and remembrance of
which shall be the safeguard of his

ing strength and proportion to his

all that may prepare for the heavenly
home when the scenes of earth shall
