WEATHER TO ORDER.
It M*y Possibly Be. Brought About by
the Aid of Electricity.
Is It possible to make weather to or
der? In the opinion of Sir Oliver
Lodge. It Is by no means beyond the
powers of man. He advances the aug
gestion that exploration of the upper
regions would result lu discoveries
which would enable man to control the
weather.
The latter, he contends, is merely a
matter of electrical conditions, and the
Ingredients necessary for fine weather
are an upper atmosphere charted wltb
positive electricity and a negative
charge upon the earth's surface Much
he says, could be done by placing a
copi>er rod round the earth parallel to
the equator aud discharging million?
of amperes lunitsi from tlils rod. Sit

wholesome as seeing an old man think

only as old as tie thinks Sometimes

A <a»e tu point is emphasised in a

One Way to Smokt a Cigar.
"Here's a secret that it took me years
to learn." said Uncle Joe Cannon, who.
as nearly every one knows. Is an invet
erate smoker. "If you want to pet the
most out of a ctgar light the 'wrong
end.' Any man who smokes cigar* to
any great extent will tell you tha'. he
gets more real enjoymeut out of the
last Inch of his cigar. Now. my plan
Is to light the last half first and get to
the best part of the smoke as soon as
you t an. Of course you have to snip
off the end that is supposed to go hi
your mouth liefore you can light the
cigar, but if you try my plan you won't
ever go back to the old fashioned way
unless I'm l>adly mistaken."—Louis
ville Courier-Journal.
A Good Habit to Cultivate.
The cultivation of love and forbear
ance for others Is one of the safest
habits to form, and this love should be
cultivated without inquiring whether
others deserve that love or not. It Is
always difficult for any human being
to know surely whether another de
serves our love, for we never know the
heart and we cannot see behind the
scenes. Only God can tmly Judge. It
Is for ns to love and to help and let
God do the judging and the criticising.
This attitude of caring and trying tc
aid by sympathy can be formed like
any other habit, and once formed It
takes the place of Indifference and in
tolerance, opening up our whole live#
to faith and light—Christian Herald.

PAID IN CORN m RYE.
Two Old Time Offenders and tha War
Tfcey Ware Puniahad.
Two poets, both honest and peaceable
and one a Quaker, wore fond of telling
anecdotes of two old rime delinquents
the one qnnrrchmmf and f be otber
thievish. John Greenieaf Whittler wa»
exceedingly fond of qtii.t.ng the lines,
handed down from time Immemorial la
the Haverhill countryside:
The man who whipped old Timothy Evu
Paid hi* fine In Indian bore
He petd ht» One and h* paid tt quick—
A peck of corn for every Uck!
Whether the fine imposed on old Tim
othy'a assailant ws Judicially decreed
and legally r.ssessed nobody knows
But in the case of a fine of throe bush
els of rye once ordered paid by I-be
nezer Snell grandfather of William
Cullen Bryant, It Is quite certain that
neither Judge nor Jury had anything to
do with the matter. Nevertheless I:
was paid and promptly
"My grandfather." Bryant used to re
late, "once found that certain pie<-es of
lumber, intended fur the runners of k
sled and called In that ; art of the coun
try sled crooks, had been taken without
leave by a farmer who lived at uo great
distance. Such timbers were made
from a tree, the grain of wbib wa»
curved so as to corresjiood with the
curve required In the runners
"The delinquent received notice that
his offense was known and that If b>.
wished to esoaj* a prosecution he must
carry a bushel of rye to each of thre
poor widows living In the neighbor
hood and tell fbem why he brought it
He escaped piwecutlua. Bus if thi
tongues of the three poor widows wen
as lively as those of most com,try gos

A WORD ABOUT THE SCOT.
And the Influence He Wields Al! Ove'
tha World.
Wherever the Scotchman goes be be
cornea a leader. You hear of the Irish
rote, the German vote the Italian
vote but you hear only of Scottish
leadership. He has had a powerful in
flueiice on our country
Our first news;>ai'er was published
by a Scotchman; a Scot first won in
ternational houors for American let
ters; the steamboat telephone, tele
graph and electric light were devised
by men of S -otch descent The second
college In our land was founded by a
Scotch divine: our constitution was
framed and adopted larjrely by the In
flnence of two Scotch lawyers: our
most majestic orator, our most win
nlng politician, our most metaphvsical
statesman. onr greatest diplomat!.*!
and our greatest poet were of S.-otch
lineage. So of many of onr bns'ness
captains and railroad magnates almost
one-half of our presidents and a larce
proportion of our cabinet members
Judges and governors. Was there ever
•uch a drain of ieadershlp upon a like
area?
The Scotch have not alone helped
make America They control Ausrra
Ua. direct New Zealand, lead Canada
and rule Africa For renmr1e« Scot
and Briton were bitterest enemies Ed
lnburgh and Paris conspired against
London. The union when It finally
came was one of crowns and not of
hearts. There still lurks jealousy un
der the surface. Write a letter to a
loyal Glasgontan address It "North
Britain," and see wt.at happens—Sam
oel P. Orth In Century
Historic Phrase.
On the morning after the assassina
tion of Lincoln James A Garfield. tbeu
a representative in couiavss ac! iressed
a large assemblage in Wall street New
York city. A crowd were about to at
tack a newspaper which Ua>l I<-en bos
tile to Lincoln. Garfield calmed them
with the simple words: "Fellow citi
zens, clouds and darkness are round
about him. His pavilion is dark »«
ters and thick clouds of the skies Jus
tice and Judgment are the establish
ment of hi9 throne Mercy and truth
shall go before his face. Fellow citi
zens. God reigns and the government
at Washington still livesT
Dream Ufa.
I called aloud in the forest, and Tlie
(bout came back. Then I searched
long to find who answered me. but the
sound had no source 1 followed the
will-o'-the-wisp through swamps at
evening. It led me hither and yon. but
1 came nowhere. It was only tlie ghost
of a light i saw an apple bang
lug In the depths of a |hx>L 1 stopi>eJ
to pick it and laved my hands in the
water. The apple had no form. This is
dream life—Atiantic.
Life's Little Comedies
It is funny to watch a cat whip a dog
The dog always looks sheepish
So does the owner.
And after it is all over the woman
who owns the cat usually pops out and
