upon the Indians themselves was found

Effect Of Lightning Flash.

Sitting in a dark Don at night with
A lightning lit storm coming on, the
observer Of the electrical phenomena
will be unable to tell from which of
the compass points a binding flash
comes. even If the room have four
windows to the four points Of the
compass. This, Of course. provided the
shades be lowered suf1 ciently for the
possible bolt to escape the eye. The
roll of thunder following the flash
will be the first intimation the OBJ
server has Of the storm direction.
Especially Is this fact marked after
the rain is falling heavily and when
the rain drops become reflectors of
the light, giving the effect of sheet
lightning. At such times when the
skies seem sheets Of flame, n may
observe how this reflected light pene-
trates to every corner Of a room with
a brilliance not equaled by summer
sunlight. The sunlight, coming in d.
rect rays into a room, leaves Its shad-
ow spots. The reflected light Of the
lightning stroke leaves the ceiling and
the floor equally illumined. Even the
smallest object may be picked up from
under a bed or other furniture a little
raised above the floor.

A PrInoelY Family.

A recent periodical Illustration rel,
resents a gathering Of a remarkable
family. Reuss Is a rich little princi.
pality Of Germany containing about
440 square miles. A curious fact in
relation to It's rulers is that all the
princes are named Henry. II was on
the occasion Of the silver wedding OF
Henry XVII that the picture re.
ferred to was taken. The numbering
goes on to a certain time limit, and
then begins v e again.
But the princes Of the house Of
Reuss are notable for something be.
sides their system Of nomenclature.
The family Of Reuss Is one Of the
few ~princely families Of Germany
whose history for the past three cen
turtles has been a good one
Perhaps" says a German writer,
mo courtly house has for such a long
series Of years produced such fine
good, wise, excellent rulers; perhaps
no other German house rests on such
a firm, well-considered and lasting
basis. Few houses have produced sucf
a number of IONS distinguished Ii
war or political life; few territories
have such causes for content and hap
piness."-Youth's Companion.

Bad Manners.

Complaints are common Of the lack
of manners in the young man OF to-
day. In most instances this may be
traced to want Of training In early
youth. You cannot begin too soon II
you want to make your son a gentle
man In the best sense Of the word.
From babyhood teach him to give In
to his sisters, because they are girls
and need consideration. II he pulls
their hair or kicks them-for, alas!
small boys are often bullies-never
pass over such an offense. Do not
allow any rudeness or %disrepect. De-
mand courteous treatment, make him
bring you a chair, open the door when
you leave the room, walk on the outer
side Of the pavement, and, In fact, be-
have to you as he will to other wo.
men in the future.

BIG LEAGUE JOBS
 FOR HOME BOYS
Bridgeport is Surely Destined to be On
 Baseball Map This Season.

The exodus of amateur and semi professional players from this city this
 year will be much greater than in for mer years. Last week a goodly mum ber Of the better players about town, who were to go into professional base ball were announced in the Farmer. This week another horde breaks into l print. Perhaps the best liked, and the one who will undoubtedly be a long ! time in returning to the city, is Jack
 Coffey who has signed up as pitcher 1 with the Holyoke club. Jack is known to Manager .tPop'' Foster, who retnerab cred him when he tried out
 with the Bridgeport club few sea-
 sons back. Jack was just breaking
 into the game at that time and eou-
 pied with the fact that t'it is hard to make good in your own town was not given much of @ chance. He quit the
 professionals at that time. and went back to the amateurs and seTnis. Con timing along in the seasons he has | pitched continually for the St. Joseph
 team. and has often played with the upstate sen1i-professiona1 clubs. It was mainly through his work that the
 U- M. c. Co. team won the pennant
 in the Industrial League in 1908.
 The Crane No. team of the Indus
 trial League will have to shift about
 a bit if they are to hold their head up iii that organization this season. As stated in yesterdays Farmer, Rocky Farrell, captain of the team, may pos sibly accept the managerShip of the Norwich club in the Connecticut As SOCIat1on. Home Rum Bill sawyer is also considering an offer with the same club. He will. however, have to be re-instated by the National com mission. as he is a so-ca1led outlaw, having jumped the Bridgeport team. This can be done the payment of a fine. Sawyer was a member of the Crane No. 2 team. Then from the same club goes Outfie1der Jack O'Con- nell, who will get g. tryout with the HaverhiH club of the New England League. How about Mike Lucia, the catcher of the same club? Mike has been with nearly every league in the country but could not seem to stay.
 He is due for the I1ynchburg team of the Virginia League. Last of all comes Nick Garter. the crack pitch CT of the club, who will be found with the Norwalk independent team Nick had offers to go into league baseball, but as he is one of the select n7en of this city, he decided to remain near home.
 N..Dasher'' Kelly. the slippery out fielder with the American 6 British Go. team in the Industrial League last season, will make a bid for honors with the Jackson, Miss, team of the Cotton States League this coming sea- son. "Dasher'' has played with aI- most every club in the Connecticut League. He always was a good bat ter, but had a. bad habit of falling down when chasing the high ones.
