20 THWART LIGHTNING.
Two simple Suggestions That Seem Prac-
teal and inexpensive.

A gentleman from Arkansas, visiting
friends in Michigan, describes a simple
and inexpensive method of protection
from lightning which he says has been
used with success in his state for several
years.
Take common telephone wire and
run ii along the ridge-pole or other
building, bringing it down alongside the
edge of the roof TO each of the corners
and down TO the ground. Then bore a
hole in a piece of gas pipe, run your wire
through this and down TO the other end,
and then drive your gas pipe deep enough
into the ground so that it is at all times
in contact with damp earth. Then no
matter from what quarter the lightning
comes instead of striking your barn and
burning it, it will follow this wire and
become grounded. A few years ago the
loss i'll Arkansas alone from hay barns
being burned from lightning was very
great. Now after adopting the above
method there are few and these
occur where the buildings are not
so safeguarded. | consider il one of
the good forms of insurance. 1t does
not cost more than dollar a building
and | would rather have it than TO have
lightning rods at a cost of perhaps 10
times as great.
another thing which we have dis
covered by bitter experience is that
many barns burn by the wire on baled
hay carrying the current. Losses from
this cause were also very frequent with
rs but now we have remedied this. We
used TO NOW away our hay in bales lay
ing them fiat side down In this way
the wires ON every bale crossed each
other. Now we pile the bales narrow
side down and figure it so that the wires
do not cross. The old way demonstrated
that in many cases if the lightning
struck a wire nc the top of the NOW
there was complete network clear
down through and destruction would be
instantaneous"

AN IMPORTANT SUGGESTION.

A few days ago a we'll known citizen
who has given proof of his unselfish in
terest in the welfare OF the city on many
occasions and in various ways suggested
a new plan of public improvement TIA.
deserves consideration. He believes that
the city should secure possession Of the
property lying north of the high school
building and turn it into public pleas
IRE ground.
About fifteen years ago this tract was
improved at great expense according to
plans of a skilled landscape gardener, be-
ing made one of the most picturesque
spots in this part CT the state. After
being kept up for nzrlber of years ere
park was neglected and now series as
pasture.
1t is claimed that the place ca be
made beautiful and attractive again at
comparatively small expense. Only
slight amount of work is needed to re-
store the winding drives and the pretty
lagoons and clear away the underground
that now gives the place such an insight
ly appearance.
1t would be necessary to throw up an
embankment along the side of the park
bordering OH the river in order to prevent
the foundations caused by the annual
spring freshets. The expense of this un-
dertaking would not be very large, so it
is said, as a bank three or four feet high
would give protection from the high
water
In its present condition the former
park is an unlovely place and positive
menace to the health of people living in
that vicinity.
Pools of stagnant water breeding mos
quitoes and malaria, stand all sum mer
long in the depressions that were once
occupied by artificial lakes. The land is
practically worthless at least it has never
been cultivated and yields but very small
revenue. The property is not available
as a manufacturing site because it is too
low and the cost of filling in would be
almost proftless. To make park of the
tract would be benefit to the city in
many respects.

CONNIE MAXWELL oRPHANAGE
Fourteenth Anniversary of the Recep-
tion of the First Child into Con-
... ME Maxwell Orphanage.

Greenwood, May 22.-Greenwood
Connie Maxwell orphanage fttingly
observed the fourteenth anniversary
OF the reception of the first child in
to the orphanagc. The 22nd of May
is the one "big day" of the year at
the orphanage. 1t is the day on
which a general holiday is given and
the children, teachers, matrons and
all unite in celebrating the day.
On May %, 1892, the first child
was received. This little child was
Susie Burton, and she is now married
and living in Macon, Georgia. She
visited the orphanage last year. She
came to the orphanagc from New
berry county.
At 0:30 i'll the chapel special en-
ercises were held. Dr.. II. A. Bagby
led i'll the opening prayer Special
music was rendered under the dircc-
tion of Mrs. Joel S. Aiken, of Green
wood. All of the children were pres
cnt and many interested friends from
Greenwood as well. The address of
the occasion was delivered by DR.. w.
p. Jacobs, the we'll known head of
the Thornwcll orphanagc. He con-
graduated Connie Maxwell orphan
age on the rapid progress it has made,
and its splendid equipment and upon
so much having been accomplished in
fourteen years. From one building in
1892 it has grown to sixteen hand
some ones, and counting all buildings
it has twenty-five.
DIR. Jacobs did not speak on any
particular phase of orphanage work,
but directed himself specially to the
children. He had no regular text, but
spoke to them about the truth Of this
motto: "Don't try to be happy, but
try to be good" The convincing
corollary being, "No one can be good
without being happy.' He spoke for
one hour, but not a single little tot
was Il bit weary at the end of that
time. The children were charmed
with him, as are all children every
where. lie related many interesting
incidents in the life of the Thornwell
orphanage. At the conclusion of his
address he spent long time with the
children, talking with them, finding
out each ones name and charming
them still more.
The Rev. A. II. Jamison, the SUPER
intendent, read the minutes Of the
first meeting Of the board and gave
succinct report of the work Of the
orphanagc. It's growth has been sim
ply marvellous. More credit for its
growth and present high stand Of
efficiency is due more to his efforts
than to anyone else. He, like DR.. ia
cobs, seems born to the work.

A New York woman who had read
of the romantic idea of stuffing sofa
pillows with old love letters decided
to put the plan into execution. Her
courtship had extended over period
of two years. Tn that time she had
written TAG letters, her husband 7l5.
All this impassioned correspondence
was stuffed into green satin pillows,
which were placed side by side on the
sofa. When the pillows began to get
dusty she packed them away in scent
ed tissue paper and put them in a
dark closet. Once a week she took
them out and patted them and said
"Dear Henry"
One day last week the woman rc-
membered a certain poetic effusion
she had one time written to Henry.
She wished to see just how she had
worded it, so she opened Henry's
pillow and looked for the letter. 1t
was not there. None of her letters
were there. Instead of stuffing his
pillow with her loving epistles Henry.

he reached the age of gray hairs and
