The grand choruses it is expected to make
splendid feature of the celebration The
entire city has been laid off into sections,
and these sections are frequently rehearsed
and then brought together for joint re-
hearsaL The effect of this thousand voiced
chorus singing patriotic airs it is thought
will be very impressive. The probabilities
are that instead of only thousand singers
1900 will take part. Washington is rich in
musical talent, but heretofore it has never
been possible to get up chorus of more
than 400. 1t is already suggested that with
the work already done it will be easy tc
make permanent organization and have
in Washington annually great musical fes

A Pass That Was Honored.

Senator Stanford once had in his employ
an old servant named Jane Wallace. After
being with his family number of years
she had saved some money and went back
to her old home in New York. But the
climate did not agree with her. The doctors
told her that if she came back to California
she would get well. So she wrote to her old
employer and asked him to furnish her
with transportation. Without thinking
much about it. but ready to OBJ ige his old
servant, he wrote on a sheet of note paper:
please pass Jane from New York to San
Francisco" signed it and sent it to her.
Jane never stopped to think of the pecu-
liar form Of the pass or that it might not
be recognizedfss some of the railways over
which she was to travel. She knew that
her old master owned two or three rail
roads, and she had an idea that he owned
one all the way to New York. So she got
on the train, and when the conductor came
round handed out the slip of paper. He
looked at it, then at her, and didn't know
what to do There was Leland Stanford's
signature, and he didn't like to dishonor
that So he telegraphed for instructions.
and his superiors told him to send the
woman right through, and she came.-San

Mastering the Situation.

The diffident young man had waited to
propose to the girl, but for the life of him
he did not know how to go about it, He
read books on the subject and sought in
formation from men who had experience
and while the theories were admirable in
every instance he found that the practice
thereof was different thing He was walk
ing with her one evening, thinking over
these things, when her shoe became united.
She stuck out her pretty little boot with a
smile, looked down at it, and he fell on his
knees and tied the lace.
Then he walked on with her, and the shoe
became united again. Shoes do that with
great persistency, it seems, especially sum
mer shoes. The third time it happened he
was ready as before.
'See if you can't tie a knot that will
stick" she said as he worked away at it.
He looked up at her tenderly.
IF can't, know a man who can" he
said.
do you want him to tie it'" she asked
coquettishly.
yes" he replied.
She jerked her foot away.
He smiled to himself.
Its the parson," he said. and he rose to
his feet and finished the work.-Detroit

lege. A phenomenal love for mathematics,
together with a desire perhaps to open a
new field for women, urged her to follow
the electrical course, which includes civil
engineering. The latter embraces practical
work in a blacksmith shop.
With an energy, skill and enthusiasm
unequaled by any man in the class, Miss
Lamme experimental in the handling
and testing of steam and gas engines, dy-
namos, motors, storage batteries, circuits,
instruments, etc. She completed the course
in three years, making up a year in which
typhoid fever kept her from college by ex-
ira work. Her record rs student is un-
surpassed at the university, whose electrical
course ranks deservedly high
In her brother, a practical electrician,
Miss Lamme found encouragement and
stimulation to her unique work. 1t is re-
freshing to record that this brilliant girl is
physical Juno with brilliant brunette
coloring. Her roguish brown eyes are in
dicative of Astounding animal spirits, as she

Coffee Disinfectant.

The following paragraph contains no new
information, but it is perhaps not without
interest from the fact that it was published
more than hundred years ago in a work
by well known chemist of that day, and
it shows therefore that the disnfecting
properties of coffee have been long recog-
nized by scientific people.
Numerous experiments with roasted cof-
fee prove that it is the most powerful
means not only for rendering animal and
vegetable effluvia innocuous, but of actually
destroying them. A room in which meat
in an advanced degree of decomposition
had been kept for some time was instantly
deprived of all smell on an open coffee
rooster being carried through IL containing
pound of coffee newly roasted. In another
room exposed to the effiuvium occasioned
by the cleaning out of the dung pit, so that
sulphureted hydrogen and ammonia in
great quantities could be chemically de-
tected, the stencil was completely removed
in half minute on the employment OF
three ounces of fresh roasted coffee, while
the other parts of the house were prema-
turely cleared of the smell by being simply
traversed with the coffee rooster, although
the cleansing of the dung pit continued for
several hours after
The best mode of using the coffee as a
dsinfectant is to dry the raw bean, pound
in mortar and then roast the powder on a
moderately heated iron plate until it as
sumes dark brown tint, when it is fit to
use. Then sprinkle it in sinks or cesspools,
or lay it on plate in the room which you
wish to have purified Coffee acid or coffee
oil acts more readily in minute quantities.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 12.-The first wom-
an electrician in the world halls from the
Buckeye State. Her name is Bertha
Lamme Her birthplace is Springfield, O.,
and her alma mater the Ohio state univer-
sity in whose class of 1913 she took her de-
gree in electrical engineering" Miss
Lamme will enter shortly the Westinghouse
Electrical works at Pittsburg, where she
will exercise her skill as practical cleo
trician on an equal footing with the trained
corps employed there
Despite Edison's advocating woman's
adaptability for this branch of science, it
remained for Miss Lamme to establish the
precedent. Edison employs more than a
thousand women in his various electrical
works. Unframed, unskilled girls were
taken into his service, and their natural del
icacy of touch and quickness of perception
have developed surprising mechanical re-
suits. Whether a practical electrician,
however, will ever develop from this army
of uneducated women remains to be seen.
Nevertheless it was the mechanical dexter
ity of his women employees that led the

| bilities awaiting woman in the electrical
world.
