Determining Current Of Electricity,

There is very simple manner
which is not generally known, of deter
mining the character of the electricity
which one may happen to want to
make use of. 1t is well known that
implements which are made for the
direct current are not available where
the alternating current is used, and in
order to ascertain which kind of cur
rent is passing through the wires it is
only necessary to hold small horse
shoe magnet up to one of the lamps
If it is alternating current the filament
will vibrate, but if it is direct current
the filament will lean toward the mag
net.

Worthy Ihouuhts.

Pride, ambition and avarice are to
be repressed and the spirit of true
worth cultivated. When the selfish,
ambitious thoughts perceive that there
is an all-pervading thought-substance,
upon which they can feed and grow
fat and rich in all ways, they strive
for first place. We should curb this
selfishness and let the master of the
feast Divine Intelligence, bid to hon.
orable places worthy thoughts
Unity.

Cleaning Chairs.

Leather chairs often become greasy
looking where the arms and head rest
on the leather. To remove these
marks try linseed oil. Boil half pint
OF oil, and let it stand until nearly
cold; then pour in half ; pint OF
vinegar. Stir till it is well mixed
and bottle. When it is ready for use
put few drops on a flannel and
polish off with soft busters. This will
thoroughly renovate all leather.

summer of 1t. Sad to relate, several
