taken, as the first lightning catcher

on the palace of the curator of Pre-
ditz, Moravia, June is, 1854. The
apparatus was composed of q pole
surmounted by an iron rod, support
ing twelve curved branches and ter
minating In as many metallic boxes
filed with iron ore. The entire sys-
tenn Of wires was united to the earth
by a large chain. The enemies Of the
inventor, jealous Of his success. ex-
cited the peasants of the locality
against him, and under the pretext
that his lightning-rod was the cause
of the excessive dry weather, had the
rod taken down and the inventor i'm

GOOD BROTHERS

There is a band of good brothers
ih this town (their names are with
held at their request), who have
fitted out the boy that has been
making his home at the city Jail for
the past week or ten days with winter
clothes. When it was known that
he was out of work, but had tried
hard to get it, these big brothers
felt as if they would be glad to give
him a Christmas present. He was
presented with an overcoat, under.
wear, sox, collars, ties, shirts,
trousers, sweater and cap. And
not forgetting other necessities, to
the bundle of clothes was added
towels and soap. This youth, far
away from home, received these
Christmas remembrances with prob.
ably as much enthusiasm as any
boy in Chanute will, his presents
on Christmas morning. The big
brothers planned to make up a
purse with which to get him ticket
to his home town, and get him there
in time for Christmas gift to his
mother. The boy prefers not to
accept this if he can possibly find
work and raise the funds himself.
