Electricity.

The electrical properties of amber were
known To the Greeks before the Christian
era. Electricity takes it's name from the
Greek word for amber. Gilbort In 1900
was the first to employ tho terms electric
force" and electric attractions I" In 174s
Fmnklin's electrical researches had pro
eressed 50 far that he killed turkey by
the electric spark and roasted 1t by an cleo
trio jack before fire kindled by the cleo
trio bottle, aud In 17.2, by means Of the
kite experiment, he demo onstrated the idcn-
tity of electricity and lightning. The first
magnetic electric machine was made at
Paris by Pixii In 1872; the first telegraph
line In the United States was set up be-
tween Washington and Baltimore In 1874;
the first submarine cable was laid between
England and France In 1850. As early ss
1902 Sir Humphry Davy produced an
electric light with carbon points on almost
tho same principle as that now employed
The first electric railway op the continent
Of Europe was built by SisSnens at Berlin
In 1881; the first In England was con-
structed In 1889, and In America the Hrst
electric line was built In 1886.

An exciting match game of whist was
played Monday night at the rooms of the
Christian Doctrine Society on Adams
avenue. The contestants in the match
were John Devaney and Edward Kelly on
one side and Edward Dugan and John
Geraghty on the other. There has been
considerable talk among these four young
men about their respective merits as whist
players, and finally eliminated in this
match. The match was witnessed by q
number of the members of the society and
at times the excitement ran high. The
finish was very close, Devaney and Kelly
winning by the close score of Is to IL.

ALARM OF FIRE.

Children at Play Set Fire to Some Lace Cur
talns Last Evening.
An alarm of fire was rung in last evening
from box 142 for a fire at the residence OF
Mrs. Warren Fales, corner of Ashley and
Broad streets.
1t seems that the children were playing
in the nursery, which is situated on an
upper floor, and in some way set fire to
the lace curtains suspended from the win
dows. The children alarmed the house
hold, and the box was pulled in i'm
mediately. There was no need for the
apparatus, however, as o; er Walsh had
succeeded in extinguishing the flames be-
fore the arrival of the firemen.

A SONG OF TIME.

Weep not for the hereafter,
The burden Of the years.
Time fingers not for laughter
And time stays not for tears.
On swiftest pinions flying
He speeds oor land and sea.
Shall roses dead or dying
Revive because Of thee?
Care not for sharp thorrs spr;nHing.
To thee be life complete
II any bird be singing
And any rose be sweet.
Heed not the storms that chant thee
Lono rcquiems from afar
II but the gloom shall grant ths0
A solitary star.
What ills may come hereafter
will come despite thy fears.
Time fingers not for laughter
And time stays not for tears.

Singular Railway Incident.

A singular incident that took place
on the Central Vermont Railroad some
time ago, says the New York Evening
Post, shows how many conditions re-
quire to be observed in determining the
existence of very simple fact with
scientific accuracy. One of the division
superintendents OF that road received
repeated complaints that at certain
crossing the prescribed signals from the
locomotive were omitted. The engin-
GERS were reproved and warned although
they all protested that they had never
neglected their duty. Finally, since,
of course, the matter might prove a
serious one at any time for the railroad,
the superintendent determined to get
his own evidence, and, prlvlly station
ing himself In suitable position, he
saw a locomotive approach and pass
without whistllng or ringing the bell.
On that locomotive, however, there
happened to be one OF the railroad de-
tectives, who had made up his mind to
look into the matter for himself, and
who actually blew the whistle and rang
the bell with his own hands. When
the superintendent returned to write
the discharge of the guilty engineer, he
was confronted with the evidence of the
detective. To end the matter, they
both went to the spot and found that
from certain point they could see the
puff Of steam at the whistle and the
bell In motion, but heard no sound
from either. An expert was called IN,
who recommended the removal OF a
piece of forest, which, being done, the
signals became audible at the crossing.
Professor Henry long ago showed
that sounds may be heard by person
at a distance when they are inaudlble
to one nearer, and it is evidently neces-
sary for railroad officers to ascertain not
only that signals are properly given,
but that they are actually audible where
they should be.

Self Distrust and Failure.
Spectator.

Spectator.
Probably self-distrust is one OF the
readiest causes of failure. A man who
however much he conceals the fact
from observation, feels in his heart oil
hearts that he is not capable of doing
the work that he has undertaken, is al
most sure to fail. Ordinary diffidence
as to ones powers is quite another
matter, and by no means a necessary
lmpedlment to success. Such nervous
ness is often purely superficial, and
merely means that the anxiety to sue
ceed is so great that it causes reaction
The dangerous self distrust to which
we are alluding is a much more mega.
tive quality, and generally has Joined
to it strong strain Of Indifference,
But when man does not think he will
succeed, and also is doubtful whether
it Is worth while to succeed, or rather
whether it is not a matter of indiffer.
ence whether he wins or loses, failure
is almost certain.
This stultlfying Indifference to
failure is much more widely spread
than people generally imagine. Be-
cause failure seems to the average man
so horrible, producing as it must, hu-
miliations and miseries, remorseful feel
ings and regrets of every kind, the av-
erage man can not imagine any hu
man being Indifferent to it. Yet, as
a matter of fact, there are men whose
hearts become so indurated that they
do not mind either failure or it's conse
quences. They would endure anything
rather than rouse themselves to the
painful effort of resisting the march oi
what they call fate. They will floa1
with the stream or tide, but, come
what may, they will not row stroke
against either.

When the World VIII Be Full.
Selected.

Selected.
When will the earth have all the po-
pie upon it that it can accommodate
Well, according to Mr.. Ravenstein, Il
well-known statistician, who has esti-
mated the matter, whereas the total
population of the earth is now little
less than one billion FIVE hundred mil
lions, there is room on the earth for
nearly six billion of inhabitants.
That is to say when the space on the
earth available for the support of hui
man beings is fully occupied it will be
found capable of maintaining four and
a half billions more of people than it
now contains, or tour times as many
people as there are now in the world.
This seems at first glance to be very
encouraging. But Mr.. Ravenstein says
1t is not, because the human race is in
creasing in these days of civilization,
peace and security, so much faster than
it ever increased before, that the world
will be full in little over $50 years.

Nothing is better for burns than the
white of an egg. It excludes all air

f1ammation. Several years since one
of our children fell on his forehead
against a very hot stove. The skin
stuck to the stove, leaving large, raw
place, disfguring him for life, as we
supposed. We quickly broke an egg
and applied the white of it several
times to the burn, and soon he was
playing as if nothing had happened
We used the egg occasionally for sew
eral days. The burn soon healed, leav.
Ing not the least sign of a scar. This
has been used by us ever since, and We
never tire of recommending it to others

we know of, and one should never be

But when a mothers watchful eve is

Who will direct them then?
How will they be betrayed, deluded,

Some feet there are who walk this

And find but pleasant ways;
Some hearts there are to which this

A round of happy days
But they are few. Far more there are
who wander
Without hope or friend,
Who find their pathway filled with

And long to reach the end.
