Light and Darkness.

A New York electrical journal some
time ago told Of an incident that oc-
Cured in the fitting up of q new Office
building near tho New York end of the
Brooklyn Bridge. The engineer Of
the building wished to wire the Offices
throughout for the electric light in
addition to the gas pipes on which the
conservative proprietor insisted. But
oil his arguments were invain, and the
apparently useless extravagance of
electric wiring was obstinately vetoed.
Suddenly, however, happy thought
struck tho venerable owner. t'Why,"
he said, ''if the wires carry electricity,
can't You make them carry gas, too ?"
A counterpart of this story is now told
of a shipyard carpenter, native of
Troon, on the coast of Ayrshire, Scot
land. When the contract for lighting
electric light mt tho Troon shipyard
was completed this man formed one Of
q social party gathered to treat tho
electricians who had made the instalIa-
tion and otherwise celebrate the event.
In burst of candor and comrade-
ship, he was overheard saying to one
of the wiremen: "Man, Peter, eftcr
worlkin' wi you on they boats I be-
ieve could put in the electric LIGHT
myself, but there's only ae thing that
bates me-" cay, what is that?" said
his interested companion, willing to
help him if it lay in his power. cts
this, man; I dinna ken hoo you get
the lie alang the wires !"--St. Louis

Ecccntricity Easily Pardoned.

Ono of the old residents of Mount
Vernon was Theodore Marston, who
moved into the place before it was u
town and settled on the south tier OF
lots next to Readfeld, whore he made
himself good farm. He was eccen-
trio, but man of the strictcst honesty
and remarkably generous to the poor.
When he sold poor man bushcl OF
corn he never struck the measure, and
ifasked why, he would put his hand
on his heart and say: ''Something in
here will tell when it is full enough"
and it was never "full enough" till
well rounded. In 1916, which is known
as the cold season, he kept his grnnary
open for those who had no cash and
would say to those who hads ''Hou cam
