BREAKFAST BUDGET.
q Is told Of tho lao sir Georgo AIry,

" Is old OF the late sir GeOrgo AIRY,
the astronomer rayal OF England, that,
by reason OF his tlmidity, he seemed
doomed TO be u bachelor for life. An
intimate friend remarked to him ono
day: "Have you ever observed Miss
Is eyes? They have tho property OF
double reiraction." ''DeAr nc, that Is
very odd" he exclaimed; ~ should like
to sec that; do you think / might ven.
turc 10 callT" And call no did, and
begged permission to examine tho
young lady's eyes. The novelty OF tho
situation may have fascinated him. At
any rate he begged the privilege OF n
second call to look at the Dyes In Il clear
or light. The problem grew so interest
Ing that he ut length came TO tho con-
clusion to mako 1t n life study.
Among tho recent innovations In Bcr-
lin Is u matrimonial club house. II Ism
large, roomy building, divided into sew
cral apartments, In one Of which por-
traits Of each woman subscriber arc cx-
hiblted with full descriptions OF her
age, talents, fortune, color Of hair, oyes,
etc, sizo OF hands and feet and general
contour. There Is also n brief account
OF her life, whether widow or spinstor.
Tho bridal veil had its origin in n
piece OF cloth which was anciontly hold
over tho bride to conceal her maiden
bushes. In tho case Of widows this
canopy, which was called tho Care
cloth" was considered quito unneces-
sarY. A necessary portion OF tho cos.
tune OF an English bride OF tho middle
ages was a carving knife stuck in hor
girdlc.
It was tho Chinese who invented tho
well known plan Of capturing ducks
and other wator fowl by wading toward
them with q basket over tho head and
dragging them under water before they
knew what had caught them by tho
legs.
An interesting series OF experiments
were recently made by two Swedish
Observation-Disclosures andThomholt.
BY means of q network OF electric cur
rents between two mountains, they sue
cceded in producing several artificial
auroras.
lnthe1ndus, Gauges and otherstrcams
arc numerous fish eating crocodiles
which attain a length Of more than
twenty feet. Except when neal their
nests and anxious to defend their eggs
they run away from human beings. z
A recent pamphlet on tho railways of
London states hat there are $50 rail
way stations within q six mile radius OF
St. Pauls Cathedral, and 391 within a
twelve mile radius OF the same center.
A remarkable death occurred near Sa-
vannah, Mo-. last week. Mrs. Riggin,
the wife OF a well.known farmer resid-
ing near that place, bled to death
through the cavity OF a detective tooth.
With q jNck-kniie James Ingram, OF
East Bradford, Pa, has carved on q dog
wood cane n fox hunt, with a,dozen
hounds and 4 mounted hunter or two in
the chase.
Very acceptable mirrors are now be-
ing made OF wood in Germany. The
wood is treated to achemical bath, after
which it may be polished to shine ike
silver.

year gathering material therefor. Re-
Gently he was in Louisville, where he
went TO consult General Thomas Taylor

found the court record fixing the date
OF the ceremony or June 10, 1910, and
found also the log house on the bank OF
Harrod's creek where the ceremony
was performed. ,s- ,

The Chicrorpollcc Is Right.

a line in the IETELEIoESCER's report
OF the proceedings OF the police COM
mittee OF Council has been misundcr-
stood as q desire to screen cx-Policeman
Marks because he ia a Republican. The
1NTELLIGEScER approves the dismissal
OF Marks, as it will that OF every man
who may be dismissed for like or equal
ly good cause.
The 1ETELLlGENcEE Is glad to sec that
the chief OF police is making an intclli-
gent and courageous effort to do his
duty and give the city a good police adj
ministration, something not seen in
Wheeling for 4 long time.
The LATELLIaENcEE deeply regrets
that the police committee OF Council,
instead OF supporting Chief McNichol
in his honest effort to raise the police
force to higher efficiency, has arrayed
itself against the chief, against the eff
cheney OF tho force, against the public
welfare, and on the side OF an insubor-
dinate officer who has shown himself
unworthy to wca. the uniform OF n
guardian OF the peace.
A man OF less honest determination
than Chief McNichol might we'll be dis
heartened by this fragrant violation OF
tho prophecies OF the situation; but
Chief McNichol will probably console
himself with the reflection that he is
not responsible for the committees
queer idea OF what constitutes a good
policeman.
The chief has sworn to do his duty.
Let him continue to do the best he
can, no matter what the police commit
tee or anybody else may do or leave
undonc. 1t may be that in the end
Council will sustain the chief OF police
and rebuke the police committee for
what it has sought to do. Ii Council
endorses the committee, that will be
bad for the city, but it will still remain
for the chief OF police to 90 on doing the
best he can under uniavorable circum-
stances.
The people will know where to put
the blame. Chief McNichol will have
a good conscience and the approval OF
good citizens without regard to party.

Lighter Light Weight Tin Plate.

r S'Shb I I Isttts
In order to cut under the product OF
the young American industry the manu-
facturers OF tin plate conceived the idea
Of knocking twelve pounds off the stan
GARD weight OF a box OF tin plate. This
does not seem to have been cut enough;
as witness this interesting extract from
4 letter to the ISTELLIGENcER from the
n. 4 G. Taylor Co., OF Philadelphia:
Since writing you on the 10th inst, our alton.
ton has been called 10 the great extent to
which tho manufacture OF ioreign light weight
tin plates is carried on, and We hear OF plates
weighing 50 lbs. 10 the box, whereas the stan.
DAD Is III. This you sec Is o discount Of IS Der
CENT; We hardly think the consumer Will get
thlS oeneht ~ the price. 1t !sa great pity that
such plates nave 10 be put upon the market. 1t
lnG% phy the seller for a time but In the end tho
American tin Plate Of standard weight and
superiorq quality will command the trade 1t de-
serves as tin plate is IN article that soon shows
its value.
Whoever has use for tin plate has use
for that article OF greater weight than
50 pounds to the box, and consumers
will do well TO SEQ what it is they are
gettin. when they order tin plate. The
foreign makers willresort to other shifts,
but there will be an American tin plate
industry nevertheless, Just as We have
cs~tablishedan American steel rail indus
try. This country will not turn back.

To RESTRICT Immigration.

The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly made n sensible move yestcr-
day when it adopted u resolution favor
ing n tax OF 500 on each immigrant ar
irving in this country. This is the
remedy proposed by the IYrELLtGEHcER
as the most practicable way to doal with
an increasing evil which grows moro
threatening every year.
The attention of uneasy politicians is
directed to the action OF this represent
tative body OF wagc-carners, which in
cludcs in its large membership n large
proportion Of adopted citizens. Foreign
born citizens who have como to this
country to stay, who love it and desire
10 shelter 1t from danger, think as
clearly and ms pattiotlcally on this i'm
portant subject us those who were born
to this splendid inheritance.
The politicians need not be afraid to
take up and deal vigorously with this
matter OF immigration. The people are
getting their eyes open and arc ready
to move. What timid politicians have
to fear is that they may be run over if
they do not begin to move.

Before the anti-snaps can got seats in

are essentially rerolutionists, and be-
fore the highest national body in their
