A DONATION VISIT.

On Wednesday evening, February H., St Valentine day, at the Methodist par sonage, an old fashioned donation visit will be given Rev pr Merwin, to which very general and most cordial invita- tion is extended to all friends and ac- quaintances of our worthy friend and his family. There will be singing by the male quartet and others; also read ings, supplemented by the usual, but not unimportant supper. All who come will never regret it, while to fail of being present would suggest the reckless use of golden opportunities. If stormy the supper will be kept warm until il clears off.

LIGHTNING RODS.

Half dozen or more houses in this
city and immediate vicinity have re-
Gently been struck by lightning True,
there has been but little damage done,
but there might have been more for
lightning is no respecter of persons or
PAGES. The cheapest means of protec-
ton is good lightning rod, we'll put
up. A good lightning rod need not be
an expensive one. For house or q
good barn something ornamental as
we'll as useful is desired, but for MANY
barns and hay sheds the farmer can
put up his own. All that is necessary
is common. smooth. galvanized wire or
wire composed of many small wires,
such as is commonly used for clothes
lines, The lower ends must reach into
earth that is always damp. For putting
them into the ground use an ordinary
crowbar or common iron rod The
wires should then be passed up oyer
the roof and held to the roof aud sides
by wire loops, with one end driven into
the wood. lnsqators made out of the
necks Of bottles or pieces of rubber are
good but are not considered necessary.
A halt dozen OF these wires may be put
at the corners and sides of the barns
or sheds and brought to various points
along the peak of the roof and twisted
together two and two. The distance to
which they viii reach above the peak is
matter of eho.ee, but they ought to
be at least i've or SIX feet high ami fast
ened By loops 10 ! wooden upright
firmly fastened to the roof. The point
should be sharpered aud for several
inches from the top each wire should
stand out from the other. The rule
given for space protected by a rod is
circle whose diameter is twice the dist
anee of the rod above the roof. Thus
a point six feet high will protect space
l 2 feet across. If several OF these points
are put up. they will be made more
effective if they are all joined by wires.
This serves to distribute the electricity
and weaken the force of the bolt. If
the building has tin roof no points are
necessary. although it is well to have
rods, or strips of tin connecting the
roofing or spouting with tue damp
earth.
Rods pat mp as shove viii cost but
little and with watching will last for
years and be rs effective as store
| rods. There arc 3 great many who
profess not to believe in lightning rods
Now these persons have perfect righ.
10 their belief bat we challenge tht ID TO

give one good reason tor the faith that
is in them. No matter what YOU be
lleve you'd better put up a lightning
tOd of some kind and prove your theory
att rwaId.
Three houses in this city have been
struck by lightning this spring, the
chimney in each case beng the point
struck. Please give an answer to this
question L. There may be two
reasons why the chimnevs were struck.
First, they may be the highest points On
the buildings and the bolts passing near
w,re attracted 10 them before they
reached the roof. Second, there may
have been fire below in stoves and the
currents OF heated air sent up being
much lighter than the air surrounding,
made an easy path for the lightning,
for lightning, like all other forces selects
the easier path for its journey. For
this reason some metals make better
lightning rods than others do, while any
metal is better than wood.

Obituary.
MRS. HENRY ZENsE.

Mrs Henry Zense. nee. Mary Ann
Mcnamara, died at her home near
this city on Tuesday morning, May Is,
1894. She was the Oldest daughter of
Mr.. Patrick Mcnamara. who has re-
Gently made Lancaster his home. She
was born in Beetown, March 16. 1859.
From there she moved with her parents
to Bloomington, where she attended
the country school and afterwards the
High School. Here she grew to strong
and beauteous womanhood, admired
and respected by all who knew her.
She was married to Mr.. Henry Zense,
May q, 1889. Il promised to be q
happy union and was while it lasted.
Only few short years, they struggled
hard to make a home for themselves.
and success attended their efforts.
She was devoted Catholic and re-
ceived the last sacrameuts of the
church TO guide her on her last journey.
We trust that her reward is a heavenly
crown and that she has gone where
sickness and death never come. Mrs.
Zense was faithful wife, Kind daugb-
ter, loving sister, firm friend and
good neighbor. Loved and respected
by all, she knew no enemy. All alike
were friends. She leaves a husband
and little son four years old, two sis
ters, four brothers, and an aged father
and mother to mourn her loss. May
God in his infinite wisdom guide the
motherless child on LIES Journey and
protect him from harm. May peace
eternal come TO her departed spirit,
and may her husband aid family find
comfort in knowing that she has fought
the gond fight aud has gone to claim
her rew.rd. The angel of death came
suddenly to that happy home aud yet.
''How mauy tranquil soul hes passed away,
Fled gladly from herce ~ 4 and pleasures dim,
To the eternal spleuH of the day:
And many a troubled heart still calls for him. .
