- The Washtenaw Farmer's "Mutual
Fire-insurance <)q. has many*, losses
from lightning. *" Yet in all these losses
there has beeh'bnly two instances of
building being injured oh which lightning rods had been placed. One of
these was when the lower part of the
lightning rods had been detached, and
the lightning ran down the rod to
where it had been detached and at tbis
point entered the building. The other
case was where the lightning rod passed over a heavy metal conductor or
trough and jumped from the rod to the
conductor, tearing it off. The experience of the company has been such as
to make them strong advocates of the
use of lightning rods.—Ex.

doing much of anything in earnest—
got some traps and started out to see
what he 'could do in the way of making
a little money "on t-he side." The paternal acres lie in the neighborhood of

most of his traps for muskrats. After
five days' work he "cleaned up'V^and
this Is bis S3cre: muskrats 237, slfunlrs
13, mink 1.    Then he sold the pelts to
Chas. Standish, a Henrietta buyer.
Two of the skunk-skins were worthless, but when he tucked §44 in "bills
and silver into his pockets lie felt satisfied with the result of bis five days'
work.^-Jackson Patriot.
A  Difficult Task.
The man who Is looking for trouble picks
out
A "task that is easy and lair,
His ojiest •will Toe crowned with success,
there's no doubt.
There is trouble enough and to spare.
Men  gaze  on  the  swagger  and  martial
aTay. • '
In the struggle where pity must cease,
They are shouting "Hooray!"  but have
little to say
Of the man who is looking for peace.
Obscurely he waits while the sound of
his voice
Is drowned by the cannon's dull roar,
As the man who hunts trouble bids people rejoice
Because, he is finding some more.
The man who is looking for trouble expands   .
A field that will ever increase.
But the man who has genuine work on
his hands
Is the man who is looking for peace.

Ancient Card Games. __
Henry VIII. forbade playing cards
except" at Christmas, hut the prohibition extended only to persons of humble rank. The games played in those
days and during the succeeding century had names as barbarous as were
the people. We read of picquet,
gleek, lauterloo, hankafalet, primero,
cribbage, verquera, tick-tack, grand
trick-track, inn and inn, noddy, five
card basset, and brag. The last migrated to America, where it became
the poker of the present day; noddy
is our present crib. Basset was
brought over from France, and ombre,
originally a Spanish game,"was the
predecessor of whist, and was played
at odd three-cornered tables.
