The Word "HustIe. Z"

The keynote and countersign of life in
the cities of the northwest is the word
hustle" We have caught it in the east,
but we use it humorously, just as we once
used the southern word ''skedaddle," but
out west the word hustle is not only a seri-
Gus term, it is the most serious in the Ian
guage. One day, rs l sat in the lobby of
one of the great hotels in the older pair of
twin cities. ! heard two old friends greet
ing each other with ardent expressions of
friendship and delight. They had not met
for long while, and each asked about the
others Lizzie and Fannie and their respec-
tive little ones. All of a sudden L heard
one say:
We'll see you tonight, I suppose. have
got TO 60"
Where have you got to go tor" the other
inquired, plainly disappointed that the
pleasant interview was not to be prolonged.
"Where?" the other echoed. "Why, to
hustle, of course. have lost ten minutes
standing here talking to you. Pm going

Eaots Ahnnt Black Ink.

No chemical black ink has yet been made
which will write black Immediately on ex-
posure. The common black ink is made OF
nutgaIls, and is by all odds the best ink
ever made. Manuscripts written in this
black ink 500 and GOO years ago are just as
legible today as when first written. The
chemical inks of the present are of too re-
cent invention to determine whether they
will last, but it is quite probable that most
of them will be as legible at the end of
fifty or seventy-fve years as they are to-
day. There is, however, fortune in store
for the man who will invent chemical
black ink which will write blnck at the
first and remain so-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

The Care of LAMPS.

Granted cleanliness and ordinary care
there can be no accident. To begin with,
the lamp should be trimmed and filled
with oil in the morning every day. Once
week the oil container should be thorough
" emptied out and the small amount of
dirty oil thrown away. Next see that the
burner is clc IN. Whenever the lamp burns
badly this should be at once looked to, as it
often is the cause. If the burners are boiled
for a few minutes in soda and water at reg
ular intervals there will be no difficulty in
the burning.
Next see that the wicks fit exactly. For
this purpose when new wicl1s are required,
the lamp burner should always be sent.
Some people buy their wick by guess, a
most foolish plan, for not only must it be
Of the right width, but also of the right
thickness, so as TO allow of the oil reaching
the flame properly, and also TO let the wick
be turned I'D or down easily. Another
thing to ascertain is if the wick is worn
out lamp should have a fresh wick
every month Mt least. Be careful before
fitting in "a new wick to see that the latter
is perfectly dry. 1t should be placed for
ten or fifteen minutes hot plate before
fixing it in the lamp, so as to remove any
moisture
1t is said that soaking the wicls in vine
gar, and then drying them thoroughly,
prevents all chance of smoking; but of tits
there should be no fear where the lamp is
regularly and properly cleaned and trim
med Be very careful in trimming the
wicl, not to let any of the charred part fail
into the burner. This is fruitful source
Of trouble. Lamps with metal reservoirs
are undoubtedly safer than those of glass
or china, as the former, if upset, can be
picked up and replaced before the oil can
escape. Therefore, where children are
about, it is better to have only metal con-
tanners or else metal containers which can
be slipped in, ) the china or glass stands.
OF course the oil used must be of good
quality There is no saving, but, on the
contrary, we tie and some danger in poor
oil. Bad oil clogs the wick and the burn
er, besides giving off an unpleasant and
very dirty vapOr.
One more hint. Never turn down a
lamp. allowing it just to glimmer. 1t is
meant to burn with the flame at full
height, and when allowed to smolder in
this way it Will either smoke or smell
possibly both-and most certainly heat
rapidly and become a distinct source Of
danger.-LondOn Queen.

A Fast Elevator.

The maximum speed of the fastest pas
senger elevators which have ever been
built is 800 feet a minute, rate of one
mile in three minutes and fraction Be
fore the fire in the Western Union New
York building occurred that company had
a machine which could run 1,500 feet a
minute. 1t was the only one of its kind in
the east. Mr. Thomas f. Brown, Jr.,
consulting engineer of this city, thinks it
possible there are few of equal speed in
the west.
These machines are of the water balance
type-tbat of the original hydraulic ele-
vator, the invention of Cyrus Baldwin.
Owing to its expensiyeness. and the fact
that it could not be controlled automatic
ally, it went out of use. The speed was
regulated by the engineer, and it went fast
or slow, as he pleased. Chicago Journal

MRS. TERRY INSANE.
So Adjudged at San Francisco-Her
Nurse Testifies.

SAN Francisco, March l0.-Mrs. Sarah
Althea Sharon Terry was today adjudged
insane and was committed to the state
asylum at Stockton. Mrs. Terry. how.
ever did not seem surprised or nervous at
the sight of the audience, but when the
court opened she began weeping. Mrs.
Terry's colored nurse was the first witness
examined TO indicate that Mrs. Terryswas
insane. 'She is constantly talking about
spirits and about Judge Terry"
said Nanny Pleasant, and l am
afraid she may harm herself or others"
Mrs. Terry here rose and asked permits
sion TO question the witness, which the
court finally granted. She then put a
long series of interrogations to the wit
ness which covered the doings from the
time when her mental troubles became
apparent, a few weeks ago, to the time
she left Nanny Peasants house, Mrs.
Terry sometimes displaying considerable
clearness and humor and at other times
wandered, breaking into hysterical laugh
ter. Mrs. Terry was also placed upon
the stand, but she talked incoherentiy,
and after another witness had testified to
instances where Mrs. Terry had displayed
irrational symptoms, the court adjourned.
