The Life OF an Incandescent Lamp.

From the consumers point of view,
one of the chief charges that a be
brought against the incandescent electric
light is the fact that its efficiency falls
off with use. At the electrical labora-
tory of the Ohio State university, a pro-
longed inquiry has been conducted into
the "life" and efficiency of the incandes-
cent lamps of ten different American
makers. The results show that the mean
candle power falls off with use approx
mately at the rate of 10 per cent. for
each 200 hours; that the life of SO out of
1877 lamps exceeded 1000 hours, and
that the average initial efficiency was
AZ; after 800 hours SO and after 1900
hours Z watts per candle power.-Pitts-

And have no table spread within my heart,
Nor any room made beautiful for thee
With FURNISHED lamp and sprigs of

The happy tears, the reverent ecstasy.

cOLERiDGE.

I see thee pine like her in golden story
Who, inner prison, woke and saw one day
The gates thrown open-saw the sunbeams
play.
With only a web tween her and summers
glory;
Who, when that web-sof rail, SO transitory,
1t broke before her breath-had fallen away,
Saw other webs and othersr rise for aye
Which kept her prisoned till her hair was
hOary.
Those songs half SUM that yet were all di-
vine
That Yoke Romance, the queen, to reign
afresh-
Had been but preludes from that Tyre Of thine
Could thy rare spirits wings have pierced
the mesh
Spun by the wizard who compels the flesh.
But lets the poet see how heav'n can shine.

in a black beaver and a coat Of tar and

We got a letter from Mr.. Cleveland
the other day saying that he had never
heard of us. This comes of getting up
at daylight and voting six times for

Our preacher said during prayer

HER R

The man was jealous, insanely jeal-
Gus, though heaven knows the girl
gave him no cause.
They lever do.
He was in love with her, and, as be-
fore stated, this man was Jealous Of the
girl he loved, and he knew the name of
the man whom he feared.
He did not tell her so, however, but
beat about the bush as they do on the
stage.
At the time when this story opens
they we're having an emotional tussle.
"Oh, George, she said, what is the
matter?"
"You know well enough" he replied
bitterly.
8" l assure you I do not" she insisted.
But you do, and you do nothing to
make our life sw~eeter."
Tell me what I shall d." she
pleaded, for, though she might be
frisky with George, she did not want
to lose her grip on him entirely.
"Oh, George, George, why IRE you
not frank with me2" she pleaded again.
Georges face became ashen gray at
her fateful words.
"That's it," he Kissed, the Internal
fire of jealousy blazing in his eyes.
"That's it, Miss Smithkins, if I were
Frank with you instead of George,
you'd be all right"
The girl would have replied, but she
could not. Her tongue clave to the
roof of her mouth.
The other fellows name was Frank.

some time to become a Mason. I rad
talked a great deal about it, and my
ambition became pretty well known
to the travelling fraternity. About a

up a job on me that for breadth and

game. He pretended to be way I'D
in G" in Masonry, grand master mixer,
or something or other in a small lodge
in the city. Tom said that his lodge
met on Monday night next, and that if
I desired to become a member he would
see me through and give me all the
sixty six degrees; and the usual fee for
going through the entire gamut was
two hundred dollars, but that business
was a trife dull and they had reduced
the rate for October, I could just go
through afying for fifty dollars. BitG
Of course I bit, and bit hard. No
sucker ever made such hot haste swal-
low a hook incased in red flannel. The
rest of the gang pretended to leave
town the next day, but it was only a
blind.
"Well, sir, the next night Gaines
steered me against the goat. [ had an
idea that the initiatory rite was a hair
raiser, but had no conception of it's
true horror. 1 was ushered into a
dimly lighted hall among COLLINS,
ghosts and chimeras dire. I was tied
to the back of a large he goat that
bucked like a Mexican mustang, and
the whole gang of COLLINS chased my
Pegasus over benches and boxes for
half an hour. Then I was plunged
into a h~ogshead of ice water. After I
had partially recovered I was stripped,
stood on a pedestal and painted like a
zebra. Suddenly the lights went out.
The mystic brotherhood chanted a lot
of rot around me, the grand master
morter mixer leading the stophe and
the grand master bod carrier doing the
antistrope act. Then I was informed
that l would be required to stand with
out moving for one hour as a test of
my endurance. I was told that I was
circled about with spear points and
that to move meant death in large
quantities delivered suddenly. Then
the grand master ladder holder COM
manded silence and I proceeded to en-
dure. 1t was the longest hour I ever
saw. 1t seemed to stretch out through
all eternity and lap over at the edge.
l stood there from midnight until 5
o'clock. Then daylight began to creep
through the window and I found that
I was alone. The grand master morter
mixer and his gang Of fendish Piutes
had made a sneak, leaving me stand
ing there in the cold like Patience On
the monument, with only red, white
and blue stripes for covering. I bought
a double action revolver that carried a
ball as big as a door knob and started
out to hunt Tom Gaines, but learned
that he had gone to Mexico for the
winter. If he yearns to see his grand
children playing around his knee he
had best stay there.

Where parting is no more

This simple inscription may be seen
upon a plain marble shaft marking the
last resting place of a youth in a cer
tain large Southern Cemetery. To the
ordinary sight-seer the words would
not attract any special attention, but
as l sat gazing upon them n Sunday
afternoon, not long since, my mind
reverted to my childhood, and I saw
this youth, whose mortal remains lay
buried beneath the sod before me, in
the bloom Of youthful health. His
mind filled with noble and high aspira-
tions for the future. He was the pride
Of q doting father, and the fondest
hopes Of a loving mother we're cen
tered upon him. Well the father
might be proud of such o son, for his
character was spotless, and his nature
knew nothing low or debasing. And
the mothers love and hopes were rot
falsely placed for he was as gentle as a
girl, and loved his dear cOnfding
mother passionately. Looking upon
that hard cold marble tears trickled
down my cheeks. 1t told of the bosom
friend of my youthful days. 1t told of
boyhood pleasures. It carried me back
to the days when cares were few, and
lite's pathway was strewn with roses.
Yea, it did more. 1t reminded me OF
the uncertainty Of life. This boy,
friend of mine, had been snatched
from earth while in the midst of its
pleasures. IN the morning he left
home for a day Of sport. At noon he
was a hfeless corpse. Drowned while

There is no such thing as an honest

secure an absolutely honest dollar we
should approach it as nearly as possible,
