e" STRIP" THE ELECTRICIAN.
A London Dog Which Has Been of
Value in Laying Conduits.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The method adopted by the Crompton
Electric Lighting Company of London in
laying its connections consists in copper
strips, technically known as the strip"
conducted along the whole of Its system
in culverts under ground. It is necessary
to carry these strips through the culverts
in lengths of about 100 yards each, and
they are laid four abreast. These strips
are supported on transverse bars at inter-
walls of ten yards. The difficulty and
expense of laying these strips vas serious
consideration for the company until it oc-
CURED to the foreman of the works that a
terrier might be trained to carry guide
rope along the culvPrls to the end of which
the strip could be attached and then easily
drawn through. He had in his possession
a broken-haired fox terrier about 9 months
old, which he Immediately began TO train
for the business.
To induce terrier to travel 100 yards
under ground is not such very difficult
task, but it must he remembered that at
every ten yards came the transverse sup
ports and it was necessary for her to jump
over these every time until she could be
depended upon to jump over every support
without fail, else she was useless fer the
work in hand, aud herein lay the dIfficulty
in her education. However. by patience
and perseverance on the part of her mas
ter aided BY the naturally honorable dis
position of Strip. perfection was reached
and she never makes single mistake now.
Working in the dark culverts. she can be
implicitly trusted TO assist the company III
her department and has laid many miles of
wires both in London and Brighton. And
the company recognizing the value of a
good servant pays her good wages, which
she receives every Saturday morning along
with the other employees of the company.
Strip is purely scientific dog and will not
condescend. on any terms, to the frivol-
ties usually affected by her species. Rats
are treated with scorn, cats are unmolesied
and larks generally are tabooed. She is
creating quite n Stir in the electrical world

The Illinois LEGISLATION.

What is known as the johnson bill,
which was introduced into the Illinois
Legislature for the purpose of hamperng
and interfering with the fraternal socie-
ties, met with a most signal defeat. 1t
suffered the same fate that a similar pro-
posed legislation did some years ago in
New York. AS soon as the fraternGl men
of the State realized what was proposed to
be done. and knowing that it was merely
a ruse of the moneypd corporations TO
injure frateruities, said fraternal men
rose il their might and showed the
said legislation under. After while
the corporations and their cmissaries will
get tired Of this game. and legislators who
have any ambition for the fu ure should
profit by the fate of those who in New
York proposed to obstruct fraterniiies.
They were retired to the obscurity they
deserved. 1t might just as we'll be recog-
niZed first as last that the great majority
of voters and citizens indorse legitimate
fraterDities. and the man, corporation or
combination striving to in jure these frater-
mites in any way Will not succeed.

NJ. rena..,s Love of Animals.

NJ. RenaB found his cat friends less in
telligent than his dog ones. But what les
sons the former gave in personal deport-
mentl They were often affectionate, but
never gushing Or familiar. The cat hates
gush or familiarity, but the dog likes it.
and is when allowed boisterously affec
tionate toward his master; but Tom or
Tabby takes no liberties and permits none
20 be taken. NJ. Renan had sometimes
taken in stray cats to rid himself of rats.
He never knew one that did not behave
we'll or that had not distinct personality
They reasoned on some facts that Were
forced on their attention. For instance.
an ownerless Tom, who was attracted by a
rat invasion to the fat of NJ. Renan, would
when used rot ghly come to the parlor to
complain.
NJ. and Nine. Renan, who had ready
sympathy with animals, quite understood
from the tone of Toms mewing that he
had grievance to air. If they called the
servant to inquire what it was the cat at
once showed itself satisfied, and rubbed
itself against one or the other, or both, and

Long Engagements.

Long engagements are CALLING, like any
other chain. There may be circumstances
which justify them, but they are eXcep-
tional circumstances and we are only deal
ing with things as they generally exist.
The woman almost always is the chief
sufferer. Her wrong is UNNECESSARILY
greater. She struggles along the weary
years of waiting in false position, and by
and by her bloom fades and her temper
sours, and then Tom sees somebody younger
and fresher and more attractive, and he is
weary of Mary, and the engagement Is
broken and he marries his new love, and
Mary either narries out of pique some one
old enough 20 be her grandfather or else
she subsidies into an old maid, and so her
life is wreck I'd, and all because of long
engagement. -Ludgate Weekly.

Private Hotels in London.

What are called private hotels abound
in London. The first question at some of
them is, Are you recommended?" That
means, Have you been sent here from
some regular hotel which has all of its
rooms occupied?' But you are not re-
quested to show any written recommenda-
ton Your word is quite sufficient. These
private hotels are really boarding houses
or lodging houses, and the guest is ex-
pected to take his breakfast in the house,
but no other meal
In one of the private hotels near the
Strand the following notice appears upon
the walls of the rooms: ''Notice-Visitors
are respectfully requested to give at least
twelve hours notice previous TO their de,
parture, or one night will be charged. y

An Odd Dish.

Mix boiled hogs lard and milk with
thick cruel. Stir it well together with
fresh cheese, yolks of eggs and brains.
Wrap it in a fragrant fig leaf and boil in
the gravy of chicken or a kid. When
taken out, remove the leaf and souse it in
a potful of boiling honey. The name of
this comestible is derived from the fig leaf,
but the mixture consists of equal parts of
each, but rather more eggs, because this
gives it consistency. This appears to have
been a popular dish among the Greeks. To
us it seems about as nice as an oyster eaten
with brown sugar.
Aristophanes mentions thirum of salt
fish and a thirum of fat. In the Frogs"
there is dismal joke in the form of rea-
sonable objection made to leaping from a
high tower, II would lose two fig leaves of
brain" The word occurs no less than
twelve times in the fragments of the comic
poets.-Fraser's Magazine
