CITY liGHTiNGlPlANT.

The City Council has very properly re-
solved to appoint committee to look in
to the matter OF a municipal lighting
plant. From time to time the TRIBUNE
has given facts and figures showing that
other cities run lighting plants at almost
halithe price Pawtucket pays.
In this connection, hear what is said by
the local man Of the Jonrnal who
never comes out stifHy for anything
or, scarcely anything: "The con-
tract made about four years ago
was at the rate of $50 for the half arc
light and s1io for the full arc, burning
ali night. The company now wants ts5
and sIs5. The objection to paying this
price was the belief that the city should
obtain cheaper rates now than four years
ago, as there are nearly twice as many
lights now as then. Besides, at the time
the contract was made, the agreement was
that 1.-THE contract were for five years
instead OF three, the company would dis
count 2 1-2 per cent. for the last two years
OF that time, and some OF the committee
think this discount should be given now,
as the contract has run four years instead
OF three. Again, electric appliances are
cheaper now than they were then, and
whereas the Pawtucket Gas Company had
poor plant at that time, it now has
"the best plant In the country" Then
the price paid in this city is considerab BILE
higher than in many cities, and the
service has been poor, the lights being
out good deal with only one man to at.
tend to them all. The suggestion of the
Gas Company to leave the matter to arbi-
tration was not agreed to, because 1t
was thought the arbitrators would
very likely be electric men, and therefore
would be inclined to favor the Gas Com.

Words In the TeIenhnna.

Long distance telephoning has become
little science on its own account and
has called into existence class of oper-
ators who are valuable by reason of the
clearness and sharpness with which they
can pronounce words while speaking
rapidly.
1t has also developed the Gct that the
French language is better adapted to the
purposes OF the telephone than the Eng
hsh. The ordinary business of the long
distance telephone between Paris and
London is carried on in the French Ian
guage. 1t is stated that the considerable
proportion of sibilant or kissing syllables
in English renders it less easy and &C.
curate means of communication
Certain English words are especially
difficult of transmission by telephone.
The word soldier" is cited as one of
these. Proper names frequently occur
in the midst of an otherwise perfectly
audible and intelligent conversation
which the ear cannot possibly catch.
These must be spelled out, involving de-
lay.
Expert telephone operators in the press
service between Paris and London have
succeeded in transmitting messages in
the French language at the rate of $50
words minute This is at a much
swifter rate than ordinary speech

story of a Lustrous diamond.

One of the finest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazilian
sands. 1t came in novel form. A small
quartz rock was found, about the size
and shape of an egg, lying in the sands
along the bank of the Amazon in Brazil
This was carried home by Brazilian
peasant, who was attracted by its odd
shape and light weight. For some time
it lay in his home with number of
other geological specimens, mere Gu
riosity. Happening one day in handling
it to drop it on stone block, it burst
open and lay in halves On the block.
The hollow interior that gave the light
weight to the stone was filed with blood
red sand. In this sand lay the diamond,
a sparkling stone of the .rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to a diamond
merchant and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Profit In Foam.

Some people deplore the use of foam
ing preparations in soda water, claiming
that such additions are totally uncalled
for and unwarranted, but it must never
theless be conceded that soda foam can
bring forward several valid arguments
in its own favor. In the first place, il
aids greatly in keeping the gas from es-
Gaping too rapidly from the tumbler. In
the second place, it undoubtedly adds
greatly to the dispensers profits, for it is
claimed that by adding two ounces of
foaming preparation to gallon of sirup
the confectioner can draw so more glasses
than without the foam.
Thirdly, we must remember that the
appearance of any article of food or
drink plays fully as important part as
its taste in increasing the appetite and
stimulating the gastric secretions, and
when we bear all these facts in mind we
shall be inclined TO look upon the snowy
foam with more leniency. And, indeed,
however we may look at it, there is no
denying the fact that it has come to stay.
and to stay probably for considerable
period of time, so we must make the best
we can of the matter.-Thomas War

Discipline By Telephone.

Detroit Free Press
There is household in this city where
the father is sole administrator at pres

visit to some relatives for a short stay.
The neighbors have commented upon
the order which reigns among the iuve
niles. who are in charge of a nurse, while
the father is down at his office during
business hours.
Discipline is maintained, however, by
an intermediary-the telephone.
"Mr. Blank" the nurse SAYS when the
fatherly ear is turned on, willie SAYS
ne is going out skating, and you know
he has cold"
"Send him to the telephone" com
mands Mr.. Blank. SIS that you, Willie?"
Yes, papa"
"Do you want jacketing when l
come home tonight"
"No, -a-p.a."
Then you stay in the house, sir, or
you'll get one sure.
Then Mr. Blank goes back to his desk
and takes up customer at the precise
point where he dropped him.
The other children are disposed in the
same way, and unless the telephone
wires are cut there will be no danger of
any refractory child having its own way
while papa rules the roost-not much.

A PREDICTION OF HARD TIMES.

PREDICTION OF HARD TIMES.
Cincinnati Tribune.
One of our prominent citizens who
enjoys the peculiar distinction of being
"very near the President" whatever that
means, was quoted the other day as
saying that Mr. Cleveland had said to
him that we were entering upon an era
of very hard times, or words to that
effect. Like the officers of the Weather
Bureau, Mr.. Cleveland is supposed to
have exceptional facilities for predicting
future happenings and he should have
said either more or less on the subject.
TO the ordinary mind, reasoning from
the dead level of private life, there are
no visible omens of financial disaster,
except such as naturally inhere in the
ascendancy of the Democratic party If
we look back over the more than a
quarter of century since the close of
the war, we see National progress and
prosperity without a parallel in human
history. If we look about us we see the
richest and the happiest people on the
globe. If We look into our statute books
we see the cause of this desirable con-
dition in wise legislation. The Ship of
State is sailing in peaceful waters.
manned by skilled and loyal crew. In
all the wide horizon. neither storm, cloud
nor unfriendly sail threaten
What can reverse this happy condition
save some radical alteration in our sail
ing orders, or some unfortunate change
of the men in control? If Mr.. Cleveland
contemplates such change then may he
have good reason to predict disaster. If
he shall materially change the conditions
which have prevailed during our phe-
nomenal growth then will his gloomy
prediction most certainly be fulfilled.
But the people are entitled to know
the grounds for his ominous declaration:
the causes which are to produce it; the
direction from which it will come that
they may trim their sails to ride out the
storm, or run to the nearest harbor for
shelter till the storm is passed. There
fore, it is, we say that Mr. Cleveland said
too much or too little.

such a man should beat 75 times in a

whether she got her gloves and silks in

"And did you go to Berlin?"
"Oh, yes. And really, did have the
most delightful time. l was at a recep-

of the thing astonished the club. But
curiosity conquered, and Mrs. FLYER
went on:
"Yes, he was there with all his officers.
and | did have such delightful conver.
sation with him."
"Oh, tell us about it. Did you talk
long?"
"No, you see my German isn't very
good, and | was little bit fiustered, so

"And what did you say?"
