ELECTRICITY
IBY GEN. r. w. JOHNSON, Z. S. AL
Written for The Mirror.

BENJAMIN Franklin, by his researches
and discoveries in electricity earned for
himself worldwide reputation, but
when we look upon the Investigations
which have been made in late years,
we see how little it took then to give
man a name as broad as humanity It.
self. Franklin formed an opinion that
thunder and lightning were nothing
more than the report and spark OF
grand electric discharge from cloud to
cloud To test this he had silk kite
made and resolved on raising it to the
Clouds If the fluid passed down the
string to his finger his theory was cor
rect. and if not, his years of labor and
thought were without practical re-
suits. The kite entered a cloud but no
response came by the string. 1t en-
tered another and to the great delight OF
Franklin, in placing his knuckle to the
string. he received a we'll defined
electric sensation. When the string
was wet the electric fluid gathered in
great abundance. His theory was thus
established The news created great
eommotion throughout Europe and the
name of Franklin was spoken with
admiration throughout the civilized
world. The lightning-rod was the i'm
mediate result of this discovery, and
who can tell the disasters this simple
instrument has averted? For nearly
one hundred years little or no progress
was made in this field of science.
The principle involved in the tele'
graph was known as early as 1774, but
Samuel F. B. Morse, a native of Mas
sachusetts, was the first to make
practical application of it. He secured
a patent for his invention in 1887, bu
like all men who live, figurativel!
speaking, generation ahead of th'
times, he was regarded as a crank
After long and discouraging delay h
obtained from congress an appropria
ton of 1000 for the purpose of test
ing the utility of his invention. Th
first line in the entire world was es
tablished between Baltimore and Wash
ington, and the Importance of the in
vention, as one of the greatest triumph

men who have attained the greatest
success in life by overcoming obstacles.
Indeed. it seems to be the general rule,
that the raw material out of which the
finest fabrics are made, should look
very little like these, to start with.

SUCCESS IN LIFE.

The attainment of greatness and USE
fulness in the world is traceable TO
various causes. Some persons have
reached the summit of honor and in
fuence, as it were, by accident. They
did not know what vast powers they
had at command until they stumbled
on the discovery,sas if by chance, like
the Indian at the mines of POtOsl.
Some trivial incident reused them to
manly ambition.
''What fool you are, Paley, said
young man in the British University,
:sto be wasting your time in idleness
and dissipation.i You have talents
which might raise you to eminence. l
have none and itaSs Of no consequence
how act" Pale. cook the hint, though
roughly made. and rose like a clear
light. and shed a Iustre on the age and
nation, and England boasts no son OF
greater acuteness, perhaps none OF
wider influence, than he. When a
Young military man, disheartened with
the service, sought for an appointment
as an Irish Commissioner of Excise
and was sadly disappointed because he
did not get it, it is probable that he
had as little idea as any one else haC
that he possessed that aptitude for the
conduct of war which was to make hin
the Duke of Wellington.
at is wonderful how many hav'
reached distinction by what may b.
called a mere fortuitous suggestion

Grateful Women Write Us Letters.

From every corner of the country
come thankful letters written by those
who have been lifted into cheerful, Wig
orous, healthy strength by DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands on thousands of women
have been relieved of the nerve-nagging
drag of weakness and pain.
They have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored, and without the humiliating
exposure Of examinations SO generally
insisted on by physicians.
The stereotyped treatment by "local
applications is seldom necessary, and
there is no reason why modest sensitive
women need submit to them.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
Of purely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless in any condition of
the system. 1t exerts wonderful sooth-
ing, healing and strengthening power
over woman's delicate organism. 1t is
an invigorating tonic for the whole sys-
TEN, and is almost an infall'ble specific
for the pee IRREGULAR
ties and pal of woman.
To these aced the
trouble of til e, worm
out women. doctors
frequently tt lien patients for
biliousness, n. sousness, dyspepsia, liver
or kidney troubles, when the real sick
ness is in the organs distinctly feminine,
and no help can come till they are made
perfectly strong and healthy in both
structure and function which is brought
about in due time, by the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Prescribed for 80 years by DR.. Pierce.
