About 30 years ago all ingenious ply
stefan Of I'll inQuiring turn of mind was
struck with the idea that If electricity
was go0d for feeble people it might
be equally good for feeble plants. A
row of cvcrErCcns had been put out on
his grounds some time before and 10 oc-
CurrCd to him that as there were o couple
of his best trees i'll an exceedingly frail
state of health here was a good chance
to test his theory. He accordingly con-
nected wire from battery with the
roots of one of the trees, turned on q
very mild current and watched tho re-
suits. In short time the leaves, which
had begun to turn yellow. took on q
lively shade of green, new shoots started
out, and the tree that had been given
up by the gardener as past saving was
soon tho most hourishing one Of the
row and before hong outstripped its
fellows in beauty and luxuriance of
growth. These experiments In this di-
rection came to OH end by the death of
the doctor, and thus much that might
have been of great service TO the garden
err and the florist remained undeveloped.

curate, simple and easily managed
methods of growing plants by electrici-
ty?-New York Ledger.

His Certificates.

Public men are often at their wits
end to avoid people who seek their in
fluence to carry out new enterprises on
to further their personal interests. A
prominent politician in an evil hour
bought some corn plasters of ON agent
who was selling them from door to
door. He was seated one day in his
study preparing for u debate when shy,
cadaverous man was shown in. Think
ing the stranger might be a constituent,
the politician received him with his
most genial aiE
Good morning, sir. Icalled TO see II

"Why, sir, do not understand you. :"

wrote:

THE AURORA DoREALlS.
Curiosities of tho Singular Red Lights
the Northern Skies.

curiositics of tho Singular Red lights Tn
the Northern Skies.
The ancients viewed the aurora bore
ats with superstitious awe, looking
upon it as an omen of direful disaster.
1t is not unusual for descriptions of old
time battles to mention the fact that
tho "curious red northern lights gave
us warming that something awful was
about to happen. In tho annals of
Clan Mac n DISC is to be found an &C
count of purple aurora, which lighted
up tho northern skies in the year 6SS
A. D. on the night preceding the dread
full battle fought by tho Irish tribes of
Leinster and Munster, and it is not nee
essary to mention the fact that the peo-
plc took it as an omen of the great
slaughter which soon followed.
In the year 1889 the people of Amer
ica witnessed some of the grandest dis
plays of tho auroral light that have ever
been known in tho history of tho world.
During the mouth of September, that
year, particularly upon tho nights of tho
I'd, Sd and Goth, brilliant auroras wero
reported from nearly every point on the
American continent Superstitious peo-
pie like those of Ireland hundreds of
years ago believe until this day that the
peculiar appearance of the sky upon the
nights mentioned was u presage of the
great conflict which was so soon to DO
waged between the north and south.
The cause of the aurora has long been
q matter of speculation. M. de In Rive,
o Genoese scientist, who has long and
faithfully labored for the enlightenment
of humanity upon this subject, made an
interesting experiment in Finland in
the year 1882 and one which goes long
way toward proving that "fitful aurora"
is a phenomenon of electrical character.
The experiment is best described In
the language of the experimenter him
self: I'VE surrounded tho peak Of u
mountain with copper wire, pointed ut
intervals with tin nibs We next heavi-
~ charged the wire with electricity. and
afterward nearly every night during
our stay had the pleasure of seeing yell
lowish white light dance from nib to
nib, in which the spectroscope analysis
exhibited the greenish yellow rays SO
characteristic of the aurora borealis AT
Pietarintumturi we were especially ia
vored in making our experiment, hay
ing on two different occasions caused
an auroral arch to appear rs if hanging
in the air directly over our wires and
about $50 rods above them. ~ st.

spite this fact 1900 persons crowded the

Mt rest, for when he warmed up he moved

er of the crimson players. No less than
10 times did the Harvards fan the air in
their efforts to hit the ball. Harvard scor-
ed hor only run in the first on an error of

OF Case and Murphy while Cook ran in

IN the first inning Case put tho ball down

How to Drive Away Water Bugs.

The persistent use of borax will keep
premises free from reaches or water
bugs, but everything must be kept
sorupulously clean. Dust the borax in
their haunts, particularly around the
sink, water pipes and boiler. Leave it
there until the next days sweeping;
then put around fresh borax, using it
plentifully. Have no paper on the closet
shelves. Wash the tops of doors and
windows with boiling suds and rub
when dry with cloth saturated with
kerosene. Tho bundle kindling wood
Is a prolific source of water bugs in the
house. Each bundle before it is carried
in should be knocked violently down on
the cellar floor or yard stones, while
some one stands ready with kettle of
boiling water to prevent the escape of
the bugs that run from it, but by far
the better way is not to use it ct all.

\ RECENT decision of the New York
CONT of appeals that savings banks are
pref FRED creditors is an important one.
It is based upon the failure of the Elmira
National lank. i'll which the Elmira Saw
ings hank had deposit of about $50. 900.
The officers of the savings bank demanded
the amount as preferred creditor. The
demand was resisted on the ground that
the savings bank had no standing in that
respect But the court of appeals holds to
the contrary and directs that the bank
must be paid in full
