ONE WAY TO WRITE HISTORY.
A Talk With Adam About Dlaereet
Young Methuselah.
1 have a book published in tbe early
didactic period of tbe nineteenth cen
tury which Illustrates a certain way of
imparting historical Information. It
was written with the laudable Inten
tion of making history interesting to
people who didn’t want to venture Into
the unfamiliar. Tbe author thought
that If the patriarchs were conceived
of as New England selectmen their
lives could be made as interesting as If
they were New England selectmen.
And 1 am not sure but that be suc
ceeded. The book Is divided Into two
parts, a conversation with Adam cov
ering the space of 030 years and an In
terview with Noah giving an account
of the deluge and the other events
with which he was familiar. They are
represented as nice old gentlemen rath
er formal In their language and strictly
orthodox in their opinions. Adam
speaks hopefully of Methuselah, who,
be says, “must be now about fifty
seven years old and Is a discreet and
well principled youth." He was very
much disturbed over tbe radical views
of the Tubal-Calns.
There Is nothing In tbe book that
would Indicate that either Adam or
Noab had been out of Connecticut.—S.
M. Crothers in Atlantic Monthly.
ELECTRICITY IN RAIN.
The Drops of Moisture, as a Rule, Con
tain Positive Charges.
Rain drops are almost always charg
ed with electricity. The charge is of
ten positive, rarely negative. Many
observers have measured the charge
approximately and made it from
0.000,000.000.000,000,01 to 0.000.000.000,
000,001 amperes per square centimeter.
Professor F. Herath of Kiel describes
in the Revue Electrique the experi
ments by which he has measured them.
He received the rain on a fine me
tallic cloth twenty-five meters square,
Insulated and attached to a galvanom
eter In a cellar. The galvanometer reg
istered photographically. Among the
facts be proves are these:
Rains with a constantly positive
charge are much more frequent than
those that change to a negative. The
passage from a positive to a negative
charge corresponds to a momentary
cessation of the shower. The quantity
of positive electricity brought by the
rain Is fifteen times greater than that
of the negative. Tbe positive currents
In a steady rainfall are abont 0.000,
000.000,000,000,1 amperes per square
centimeter. The negative currents
never exceed 0.000.000,000.000,001 am
peres per square centimeter.
Sympathy With Sufferer*.
Probably nothing is more stimulating
and genuinely tonic to sufferers, espe
cially those with chronic aliments, than
the feeling that In spite of their own
helplessness they themselves can still
be helpful to others. Tbe Sbut-in so
ciety in this country has made life
more bearable for many persons who
are confined to their rooms or their
bouses. Nothing disturbs a certain
class of patients so much as to be con
stantly In contact with those who are
in good health and strength and whom
they can scarcely help but envy. To
be brought Into touch with those tor
whom they themselves can feel Is a
precious source of consolation and up
lift. Pity Is a luxury to be enjoyed,
but no human being likes to be pitied
or to feel that he Is an object of pity.
To be conscious of some advantage in
one’s situation over that of others is ot
Itself an alleviation for many sick
nesses.—Journal American Medical As
sociation.

Jane Ann bad called, on her after
noon out, to see her friend Matilda.
The latter’s mistress had just pur
chased a parrot, and June Ann was
much interested in the bird. "Birds
Is very sensible,” she said: "you Kin
learn them anything. 1 used to work
for a lady that hud a bird in a clock,
an’ when It was time to tell de time of
day it used to come out an' 6ay
’Cuckoo’ Jest as many times as the
time was!” "Go 'long! You don’t say
so!” said Matilda Incredulously. "Yes!”
replied Jane Ann. ’’And the most
wonderful part was that it was only a
wooden bird too!’’—London Globew
