Flexible Glass Interior Conduit,

AS new residences and new buildings OF
all kinds are now almost always wired for
current, the matter Of an efficient interior
conduit that shall have fexibility, insula
tion and ability to resist fire has CONF to
be Of the utmost Importance. Such q con.
duit will even allow of an installation be.
ing made in an old building without undue
cutting Of the walls. The best insulator
in use is glass, and glass conduit which
Is at the same time flexible and waterproof
has exceptional advantages.
Such conduit was shown at the elec
trical exhibition In Providence, where a
section Of it was connected with lighting
circuit and passed through a glass tube
filled with water. This tube was bent
twice at right angles in sharp curve, thus
showing the great fexibility and water
proof qualities of the conduit. The con.
duit is inclosed in a string woven jacket,
which gives it high tensile strength and
a strong abrasion resistance, and the whole
is then soaked in an insulating material
The systems Of connections Is simple, and
its cost is small.-New York Commercial

would better be called the association OF
words without ideas-will bring about in

about new playmate whose name was
Douglas. "Ishs Douglas, tender and trueSn
asked his mother.
"Pll ask him." said Carl meditatiyely.

The Wealth of Crnsus.

Crasus was the king of Lydia, a state in
Asia Minor, and assembled thethrone about
562 B. @. His name has ever been syno-
nym for wealth, "as rich as Crnsus" hay
ing been proverb from his own time, but
the most liberal estimates of his property,
so far as descriptions of it have come down
to us, make it worth in our money about
s10,OO0,OOO His riches were derived from
gold mines near Sardis, the capital of Lydia,
and from the plundtr of numerous sur
rounding states. The kingdom of Lydia
was overun by Cyrus, the Persian con-
queror, and, according to the best authori-
ties, Cresus was taken prisoner and kept
in the train of Cyrus. Thecourt Of Crnsus
was considered one of the most refined and
elegant of ancient times, and the ruins of
the royal palace and the other magnificent
buildings are still to be seen on the site Of
Sardis.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

A Kind Word for the Owl.

The tiny saw whet, or Acadian owl, stays
with us in winter, though, being entirely q
"bird of the nighttime" it is seldom seen;
and the tremendous vibrating note OF the
screeeh owl is well known in rural neigh
borhood. The virtues of the entire owl
tribe combine in this gentle, mild hammered
bird, and he does not deserve his inappro-
PIRATE, repelling title. With spring in his
heart, his ambition leads him to attempt q
song, resulting in succession Of soft, sub
dued notes that may be exceedingly pleas
ing. He may even take up his residence in
unused buildings, or small houses placed
for his accommodation, and If disturbed
flies about in a bewildered manner, con-
fused by the sunlight.
His work begins when the night comes
down, and through him woe overtakes
many mouse walking out under the cover
of the darkness. In the little hollow where
his housekeeping begins-for you know he
is scarcely larger than robin-the four to
six spherical eggs lie upon the leaves and
feathers provided to receive them, and it is
to be regretted that the blinking owlets are
not regarded in friendlier light. Prank

y what9" said the woman.
The Conductor Knew His Busness.


"You know where to leave me-" said q
lady on Third street car the other day as
the conductor took her fare.
"Yes'm; Columbia street is your street,
I believe" he replied.
The lady retired in brown study, and
one of those men who know it all and never
gets left, and isn't anybody's fool, took up
the attention of the conductor with long
yarn about how street cars should be run
and what rapid transit would do for the
people, and when the conductor thought
of that woman again he was just crossing
Willis avenue.
"She'll have me discharged If tell her, !"
he said to himself, and cold drops of terror
stood out on his manly brow.
Once the passenger did look out of.the
car window, but seeing an unfamiliar part
of the city concluded she was still en- route
to Columbia street.
The car went to the end of the line and
returned on its way downtown again.
"C-o-l-u-m-b-i-al' called the conductor
bravely, and the lady gathered up her
traps and stepped out on the platform.
"Good gracious, conductor" she began.
"Hurry up, madam" urged the con-
ductor, and after assisting her off he has
tily rang the bell and the car started again.
And the astonished woman was heard to
remark:
mo wonder the cars go slow; they travel
backward. ."-Detroit Free Press.

Misplaced Jaw Cracker.

A certain handsome junior of our State
university was as bright as a child as he is
now brilliant as a young man. He read
much when he was little fellow, and his
memory held fast to any fine sounding
word that came in his way. In his grand
mothers household ne often caused amuse-
ment by mistaken or exaggerated use of
the pollysyllable words that struck his
fancy. One day he rushed into his grand
mothers room; out Of breath as he was

window at the Barclay street ferry the
other day. Six men were behind her in

AYes."

"About minute" was the reply.
"Does the boat go straight to Hoboken?"

''Yes," said the ticket seller.
"How long could wait in Hoboken be.

the woman, while the men behind her
