Damage by Lightning.

According to the United States
Weather Bureau, G256 buildings
were damaged by lightning in the
year 1899, which may be considered
a fair standard for other years. The
value of the property is estimated
at more than 100000. No less
than 500 persons were killed out
right, and $40 others were injured
less seriously This is pretty bad
record, but it is not the whole truth.

also be charged the death of 1850
head of livestock. Much other dam
age is done every year, for which
exact figures like these are not easily
obtainable Lightning strikes tele-
graph wires, throws down poles,
breaks insulators and Injuries valu-
able instruments in telegraph offices.
The farmer is not the only sufferer by
the freaks of atmospheric electricity.

There's Logic For You.

1t was in the Far West A juror
Lad been selected in a murder trial,
and they were about to swear him in,
when the judge, to be on the safe
side, bethought himself to say to the
man:
II trust, sir, you fully understand
the duties and responsibilities OF
juror"
Strengthening himself up to his full
height the man nodded calmly and
replied:
I'm a plain chap, and l believe in
being fair to all l don't go by what
the lawyers say, and | don't go by
what the judge says, but l look care
fully at the prisoner in the dock, and
| says to myself: He must have done
something or he wouldn't be here

WISE WORDS.

Many years ago, when your grand
mother and grandfather went to
school, they had reading and spelling
lessons very much like ours to-day,
only now they seem to us "old-fash-
toned" Here are some of the SEN
fences from their old English SPELL
ing book:
It is wiser to prevent quarrel than
to avenge it.
He is always rich who considers
himself as having enough.
Sincerity and truth are the founda-
lions of all virtue.
He can never have true friend
who is often changing his friend
ships.
There is no real use e riches, ex-
cept in the distribution of them.
BY taking revenge for an injury,
a man is only even with his enemy;
by passing it over he is superior.
It forms no part of wisdom to be
miserable to-day, because we may
happen to become so tomorrow.
Which do you think you prefer, the
old-time reader, full Of advice, or
your own pretty book, with it's wealth
Of stories?-Washington Star

A learned Italian doctor says that
giantism is a morbid prOcess-a dis
ease due to an enlargement of part
of the brain which is endowed with
growt functions. When
that part of the brain enlarged, the
limbs grew to an abnormal extent ana
other physical changes occurred, the
excess of growth being chiefly in the
lower jaw, the arms and legs. The
average life is only a fraction over
twenty years. Ireland has produced
at least four giants-McGrath, born
in Tipperary, in 1876 Che was 7 feet
5 inches in height; Malone, feet 6
inches; Murphy. feet 3 inches. and
Charles Byrne, feet inches. None
of them ever reached great mental
development. -

Miss Martha Van Rensselaer,, SUI
pervisor of the reading course for

where girls are tried. She bases her
opinion on personal observation of
various juvenile courts, notably those
