safety Candle Holders.

Children of all ages will appreciate
an improved holder of candles and
tapers for Christmas trees which
promises to put an end to the disaster
and disappointment which often ensue
from the usual frail fastenings. II Is
claimed that this holder can readily be
affixed to Christmas trees and other
articles, such as wall brackets, wire,
rope and other lines and supports,
however slight, for decorating. illu.
minating and general purposes. The
invention consists Of an ordinary can
die or taper with a curved base to
catch the grease dropping from the
candle, and one or more lengths OF
flexible wire are left free to be twisted
or coiled around the object or article to
which the holder is to be attached.
This little device, by its rigidity when
once fixed, insures the tapers burning
down to the socket in the exact position
in which they are desired. New York

occasion riding on bus in that town,
when he commenced to give his fellow
passengers information as to the best
way to alight from bus when it was
In motion. He scientifically pointed
out how the infection OF the body In a
certain direction would counteract the
motion OF the vehicle. and how with
out stopping the omnibus a safe and
easy descent might be made.
By and by the point was reached
where Mr.. Barkas wished to aligbt. and
the conductor was about to stop the
bus, when the man OF science depre-
catingly forbade him TO do So and

BOUGHT PARlslAN CHAIRS.
A Mishigan Woman Who Thought to
Surprise Her Husband.

A Mishigan Woman Who Thought to
surprise Her Husband.
A most amusing story was related to
me last night by a lady who has just
returned from visit in st. Johns,
Mich. Among the industries clustered
in that pretty little town are several
large chair factories. The wife of the
proprietor of one of these-she is a
bright. wideawake woman, by the
way-recently took a trip to Europe.
She is. or has been, always on the
alert for ideas to help her husband in
his business. and while In Paris she saw
some magnificently carved and uphol.
stored chairs.
The thought struck her that she
ought to buy these and take them
home in order that her husbands
workmen might pattern after them.
At great expense she purchased num-
Der Of the splendid specimens of furnit-
ure, had them carefully packed and
shipped on board the steamer upon
which she sailed.
Then the duties had to be paid at
the New York custom house, and final.
ly the freight tariff up to Michigan.
But the lady was well content. for she
believed she had a great surprise in
store for her husband. And the sequel
bore her out in her belief.
The imported furniture finally ar.
rived. ''Now." said the st. Johns wo-
man to her husband. as she carefully
unpacked the articles which had cost
her SO dearly, Il want to show you
something that is really elegant, and II
you could only turn out chairs like
these you would soon make fortune. T"
The manufacturer looked thought
fully at the chairs a moment and then
quizzical smile overspread his coun.
tenance. lie made no reply except to
turn one of the chairs upside down
and point at some painted symbols on
the reverse side Of the seat. Look
there. he remarked,
The devoted wife looked and almost
tainted. The symbols were her hus,
bands initials and trademark. II Imade
'em myself" said he; land il you'll
only step over to my factory I'll show
you hundreds more like EN-"
II that woman had said only half
what she looked on that subject s.le
would have still been talking about
the matter. 1t is safe to say that she
will not attempt to furnish her hus
band with any more ideas at least in
the way of Partisan importations -
