'.No dear; l trust that we love each

been married nearly five years, and
never yet have the waters of our con-
jugal sea been ruffied by a single ripple
of contention or strife"
"It's nearly six years, darling" corr

One of the great advantages of the
electric light for indoor illumination
lies in the fact that it leaves the air
unaffected. whereas gas and other light
formed by combustion not only raises
the temperature. but deprives the air
of its oxygen, increases the carbonic
acid and makes the air poisonous.
