 "What kind of house do you want?" asked the architect. ''Oh," replied the citi- zen, wearily ''I don't want house at all. just want you to build me three tiers of closets, like jail cells; 13O closets in tier and put roof over the top tier. I want to put up house that will contain enough closets to satisfy my wife" But the architect, who was man of broad experience, told him he would have to put & thousand closets in 3 tier and make the edifice six stories high, and then his wife would say when it was com pleted that there wasn't a closet in the house big enough for cat to turn around ln- Burlington Hdaokeye.

A few months ago Mormon "Elder'' do- ing missionary work in Georgia was killed by a man whose family, it was said, had been be- trayed by the practical application of the doctrines of the Mormon Church It was hoped that this would put an end to the spread of Mormonism in Georgia, but it has not done so The Atlanta Consultation calls the attention of it's readers to what is going on, and says that only a little while ago 8 number of wretched emigrants from the mountain regions of Georgia and Alabama passed through Chattanooga on their way to ssthe great center of moral degradation in Utah.

that it is possible to build iron ships here as cheaply as in England or Scotland. To the New York World, the champion of free ships, the Wilmington paper makes the fol lowing proposition: 'tEUe,y EUening, speak ing on behalf of the chief iron shipbuildine city of America, denies that any such cause exists and makes this offer: If any compa- ny known to the World, or any that may be organized, wants fleet of American built steamships equal in all respects to the steam CTS of the Cunard line, such a company can have them built at precisely such prices as they would have to pay on the Clyde, here in Wilmington. This is no vague and boastful offer, but bona .fde proposition made in good faith and by authority, after consulting with men able, willing and ready to make it good. Now let the World produce the men on whose behalf it, in common with many others of the metropolitan newspapers, has been making lamentation, or else cease de- claring that it is the high cost of American built iron ships that stands in the way of the revival of American commerce. Wehave pre- sented it a case very similar to that described, in betting parlance, as one of put up or shut uD ID

A curious suit for damages has recently been decided in London. certain General Tower and a maiden sister, residing in Lon don, have for many years been possessed of some old family china of the rare manufac- ture know as Grown Derby" Miss Tower concluded to put the china on the market for sale. Accordingly she visited one of the chi na shops which MT. Mortlock maintains in va rious parts of London and left with him china cup as specimen of her set This led to his asking her to send him the whole service, which for several months remained upon ex- hibition. One day Miss Tower, going acci- dentally into MT. Mortlock's shop, saw there a copy of one of her cups, and about the same time her sister purchased there 8 modern plate of the same Crown Derby pattern. Thereupon Mrs Tower demanded her china back and found that one cup was missing. This it seems had been sent to Worcester as pattern for dozen of the same shape and decoration ordered by purchaser from the United States Miss Tower, considering herself aggrieved, brought suit for damages against Mr. Mortlock in the nature of tres pass and for conversion of property. He rendered to her solicitor the whole of the china intact which she had left in his charge This she declined to receive, alleging that by the defendants s acts of reproduction the value of her china had been destroyed Jus tice Manisty, after hearing the evidence, in structed the jury that as Miss Tower had re- gained her china which had been left for sale she had no recourse in damages against MT. Mortlock-no matter what he had done without asking her permission.
