Electric Poles n nerlin.

In Berlin the electric arc lamp poles
are things Of beauty. They are more
properly brackets than poles, though.
The taps from the mains in the streets
are carried under the sidewalk to the
house wall and then up TO the surface.
At the sidewalk begins a handsome
scroll work affair of iron, which runs up
the house and then out over the street,
supporting the arc lamp. Near the base
is a panel door provided with lock and
key. Back of the panel is compart-
ment holding the fuse strips and switch,
and a handle which fits on the square
head Of o windlass shaft projecting from
one side Of the compartment.
The lamp trimmer comes along in the
morning, unlocks the panel door, exam
ines the fuse strips, throws the switch,
takes out the little handle, turns the
windlass, lowers, trims and raises the
lamp, restores the handle to the compart-
ment, throws down the switch, locks the
door and goes on to the next lamp All
this work is done without climbing a
step. The whole device is painted a
dark green, picked out in gilt. Far from
being unsightly, they are real ornaments
to the street. The householders are anx-
ious to have these brackets placed On
their houses, often paying half the cost,
and sometimes the whole cost, for the
privilege. These devices are well made
and expensive, costing about $3.50 each.

The principal grounds upon which the
Russian justifies the persecution of his
Hebrew brother are as follows. He as
serts: First-That the Jews are too ra-
pacious and too successful in getting
money and property away from the sur
rounding Christians. Second-That they
hold themselves, as class, apart from
the rest of the community Third That
they furnish many Of the leading nihil-
lists and mischief makers. Fourth-That
they evade service in the army and do
not become patriotic Russians
The first accusation may be ignored,
as it amounts simply to saying that the
Jew is shrewder and more intelligent
than his neighbors of other races. As TO
the Jews refusal to. mingle more freely
with his neighbors of different creeds,
or, in other words, to assimilate with
the population, it cannot be said that he
has as yet received any very warm invi-
tation to do anything Of the kind. He
has been chased like beast Of prey for
centuries. and now he is asked why he
does not like his prosecutors.
The charge Of nihilism is perfectly
true, to the extent that the Jews natur-
ally furnish their proportionate quota to
the lnalcontents who have the courage
to act. But that the Jews among the
nihilists exceed their proper proportion
to the whole population is denied by
many trustworthy writer's The charge
that the jew evades army service is dis
proved by official statistics. p. q.

The shipwor1n or teredo, with its long,

The Odd Tse " Words

1t is amusing to note how many words
and expressions we hear every day that
mean something far different from what
they seem to mean. We are so accus
toned to this that we pay little atten-
ton to it, except when we are in thought
full mood; and no matter how careful we
are we gradually drop into the habit OF
following our neighbor's example, and
in turn setting the example for others to
follow
Thus we find no fault with the friend
who tells Us soberly that the clock has
struck one, when we know that the clock
has never been guilty Of striking any body.
We do not protest against hearing an
other declare that he did something
wrong because he could not help it, as
though the wrong, had it been assisted,
would have committed itself and saved
the actual sinner from all blame.-Har-

To be called Her Royal Highness is
the destiny Of every woman born to
wear crown, but it remains for one
woman among all the royal families to
have the endearing title of Her Royal
Sweetness given to her, and that honor
belongs to Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
She has that marvellous art of making
goodness seem attractive; of making
the right act the pleasant one and of inn
pressing upon all who know her the
knowledge that to do good il to have a
pleasant time, and not to do it j. to miss
some of the pleasure Of life.
Many princesses have been written
about as having been beautiful, as hav-
ing caused great wars, as having done
great deeds of yalor, of having made
men die for them and kingdoms quarrel
over them, but of none of them can it
be said, as it is of this gracious lady,
that the whole world bows down before
sweetness and goodness, that peace has
been the watchword Of her life; and
not only does she value peace, but those
loving sisters, Faith, Hope and Charity,
abide with her.-Lady Elizabeth Hilary

The Holsteins grow to large size, but

were mixed with the Holstein milk to

AS cheese cows the H0lsteins are par

The egg is the sign of the resurrection,
: which the Easter festival commentaries.
The Jews place it on the Passover table,
thereby indicating that their race is
to be resurrected. The Persians and
Druids both used it in their religious
ceremonies, and not only the Russian,
but the Mohamlnedan, on the early
Easter morning gives the greeting,
"Christ Is risen,r and the reply, "Christ
is risen indeed" is followed by an ex-
change Of eggs. and the egg is as well a
feature in all the old Eastern legends,
many of which are too improbable to
even bear the semblance os truth; others
might be true, inasinuch as truth is
oftentimes stranger than fiction. Emma

of the place were at work there attention
was attracted by moving object on the
cable. An examination showed it to be

the place reported that he had seen rat
working its way up the cable. He was

was established in the mouths of two or
three witnesses, SO that it cannot be sue

CheaD Dress Goods


1t is astonishing how cheap certain
lines Of dress goods are in New York this
year. In the first place there is the all
wool Henrietta, which can be bought in
all the fashionable colors at about fifty
cents a yard, forty-four inches wide;
serges, in stripes and plain, at from forty
five to sixty-fye cents; homespuns,
from thirty cents up shepherd checks
and light weight cheviot, from fifty
cents, and q palmer quality, which is
part cotton, from twenty-five cents up.
Double width cashmeres, all wool, in
fairly good quality, can be bought for
from forty-nine cents to sixty cents per
yard, and numbers Of styles Of outing
cloths and yeilings and colored hannels
sell as low rs fifteen cents a yard. The
very finest quality of French sateens is
thirty five cents a yard, and it needs ten
yards for dress, with about one dol
lars worth of ribbon for trimming,
which is cheap for such handsome
gown as sateen makes. There are sew
eral kinds Of alpaca and crystalette,
which cost fifty cents, and dress Of
this, aside from Innings, is but s.. Cot
ton goods cost from four cents to twenty
five cents per yard, and make very
pretty gowns, which are decidedly the
fashion for people Of the highest posi-
ton, and when these are made every
thing is done and finished as if they
were silk gowns. so that they are really
elegant.
A Calcutta newspaper relates an Incl
dent which illustrates the magnificent
way in which the rajahs Of India-or at
least those Of them who remain opulent
and powerful-repay small debt. Not
long ago the Rajah R9lkar, Of Indore, in
paying a visit to the viceroy, the Mar
quis Of Lansdowne. at Calcutta, was
shown by the marquis several of the
London illustrated newspapers. In cut
ting the leaves of these journals, Lord
Lansdowne used an ivory paper cutter.
The rajah had never seen a paper
cutter before and was much interested
in the little instrument
eff your excellencv will make me a
present Of it," he said, II will send you
another in exchange
The vlceroy promptly gave his guest
the paper cutter, and the rajah returned
with it to his own dolninions
Lord Lansdowne had almost forgotten
the incident when he received notice
that the rajah's return gift was ON the
way, and he was presently astonished to
have brought to him young and hand
some elephant, each Of whose tusks had
been skillfully wrought into the shape of
paper cutter
A servant brought some illustrated
newspapers, at which the elephant seized
them with his trunk and proceeded very
skillfully to cut the leaves with his
sharply trimmed tusks. He had been
trained to this accomplishment under
the rajah's orders.
The living paper cutter, it is under
stood, is still in Lord Lansdowne's pos
session, but it is not one of the ordinary
furnishings Of the viceroy's library For
his customary opening Of books and
newspapers he keeps less bulky inn

II. Hennequin, of Paris, France, who
has had some experience in aerial navi-
cation, stopped in the city from San
Francisco on his way home. Mr.. Henne-
quin was in Fontenay at the time Tis-
sindier and Cover had their startling
adventure in balloon. The traveller is
an intimate friend of Cover, and tells
the story of their fall of mile as the
balloonist related it to him:
''They ascended from Tissindiers
house in Paris and foated off toward
Vincennes, and, as the wind was some
What strong from the northeast, the two
men soon disappeared from the view of
Paris, having risen to a height Of 1900
feet. When they had reached Fontenay
however, they were fully 5000 feet above
the earth. They were sailing along
smoothly, watching the scenes below,
when suddenly they seemed to fall into
hole in the atmosphere, and down they
went at terrific rate Cover glanced
at the needle of the vertical scale. 1t
was travelling with lightning speed. A
roar filed their ears, and both men
thought their time had come.
Nothing had happened to the balloon.
1t was in perfect condition, but there
seemed to be no air to hold it up. lis
sindier desperately threw out sandhags.
They were falling so rapidly that the
bags were left far behind and disappeared
above them. The earth seemed to be
rushing at them with the speed of a
comet. There seemed to be no atmos-
phere left, and they could scarcely
breathe. AS last resort Tissindier
threw over the anchor and the remain
ing ballast, and the big balloon, after a
rush Of mile through the air, regained
its poise and they were saved. The
earth was but fifty feet below"
''This goes to show" continued Mr..
Hennequin, ''that too much precaution
cannot be observed in carrying plenty Of
ballast. There are in the air occasional
rarefactions, and when balloon once
gets into one of them it drops like piece
of lead. Cover and Tissindier sailed
into veritable pit in the air, and had
they not had lots of ballast aboard they
would have been dashed to pieces."-
