TAKES HIS REST INDOORS Hubby Has Given Up Hie Porch Bunk and Wifey la at a Loss to Undsrstand Why. A man living on the West side has not beeu feeling, very well recently, and after much urging from the wite consented to sleep In a couch ham mock on the rear porch of the home. The first night his wife made up a nice little bunk for him In the hammock, and tn a few minutes he was sound asleep. He had slept about an hour when he wus awakened by his anxious who came out to see If he was sleeping all right. Being assured that sleep and the man were bosom friends, the wife withdrew and once more the man slept. This time he rested a little over an hour before his wife once more appeared on the scene ami anxiously Inquired how hubby was sleeping. Hubby was a little sore by this time over being aroused from a good solid sleep twice, and curtly informed the wife that he was doing all that could be expected In the sleep HiteWifey again retired Into the house, and hubby was soon snoring and enjoying his rest. Wifey stood it as long as she could, but shortly before midnight she again tiptoed out onto the rear piazza and, after rousing hubby from his sleep tor the third time, sweetly inquired if he was sleeping all right. Hubby didnt offer any explanation or deign to reply, but, crawling out of the hammock, betook himself to his bedroom, locked the door, tumbled into his bed and managed to finish the night without any further inquiries as to his ability to sleep. Now he refuses to try the out-of-door steeping stunt and wifey says she can't understand why, because she just knows it will do him a world of good.—Worcester Post. ELECTRICITY IN RAIN DROPS

German Scientist Has Measured the Charge—Describes Results of His Investigation. Rain drops are almost always charged with electricity. The charge is often positive, rarely negative. Many observers have measured the charge approximately pud made it from 0.000,000,000,000,000,01 to 0.000,000,000,000,001 amperes per square centimetre. Prof. F. Herath of Kiel describes in the Revue Electrique the experiments by which he has measured them. He received the rain on a fine metallic cloth 25 metres square insulated and attached to a galvanometer in a cellar. The galvanometer registered photographically. Among the facts he 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. The positive currents in a steady rainfa.l are about 0.000,000,000,000,000,1 amperes per square centimetre; the negative currents never exceed 0.000,000,000,000,001 amperes per square centimetre. , Unmoral and Immoral. Are you unmoral or immoral? Do not answer too quickly, for if you are only unmoral we may be able to overlook it. Unmoral stands to immoral in much the same relation as unregenerate stands to degenerate. If you commit some act of which the arbiters of either disapprove, the category that you go in all depends on whether the arbiters have previously brought the ethical constitution and by-laws to your notice. If they have already told you that a certain thou shalt not exists, then you are immoral if you disobey it. If, however, you are still in an untaught state of sheer savagery, then you are merely unmoral, and, instead of being the victim of execration and contumely, you are entitled to all the emoluments and perquisites of any other savage. Ignorance of the civil or criminal laws excuses no one, but ignorance of the moral law does count for a little these discriminative days.—Lippincott’s. Girls Certainly Are Versatile. He was thoroughly enamored. “Ah, my darling,” he cried, "terrible, tragical and sublimely retributive will be the course pursued by me if you do not instantaneously pucker up those rubicund lips and enrapture my immortal soul with sensations of divine bliss too deep for description, too wonderful for imagination itself, by Imprinting upon my waiting mouth the concrete pledge of your abstract emotions. Wilt thou?” “Watcha want, kid —a kiss?” she answered. "Sure. Bounce one right off the front tooth!” Girls are clever—they can understand any kinld of language. Took Prize With Small Catch. A tiny minnow', haydly an inch long, and weighing the twentieth part of an ounce, has brought an angler at Armentieres, in the north of France, a prize. of S6O, and earned him the hearty dislike of his fellow anglers In Belgium and the north of France. Fifty-sgrven societies, comprising 1,600 anglers, met at Armentieres the other day to compete for a valuable prize. After an hour's fishing it was found that only one fish had been caught The proud angler brought his minnow to the scale, and the organizing committee, in the absence of any other catch, were obliged to award him the prize.
