Sewage In Germany.

The claim is made for Germany OF
having the most complete and success
full system of sewage disposal of any
country ON the continent of Europe. In
Berlin, where the features of this sys.
tenn are so perfectly represented, the
drains from the houses receive both the
rainwater, the refuse water from the
kitchen, ETC., and the contents of the
water closets, conducting them to an
arrangement of radial sewers, through
which, by natural fall, they pass to a
dozen different pumping Stations with
i'll the area of the town. From these
the sewage, through the medium of
combined force and suction pumps, pro-
ceeds through pipes Of feet or still
greater diameter to the land which the
corporation of Berlin possesses, the ma
terial thence making its final exit
through a system of conduits so ar
ranged that, before reaching them, it
has parted with all its manurial power
to the soil through which it is made to
pass. The sewage water thus filtered
reaches the river through the natural
fall Of the conduits in comparatively
purified state-New York Sun.

lightning Dissinators.

A good many years ago some one adj
vanced the idea that wire netting
spread over the roof of house and
properly anchored in good conducting
soil is an effectual bar to injury by
lightning. The claim is that there is
what is called state of electrical stress
This is broken by the flash that de-
sends through an electric air column
that extends from the clouds TO the
earth. By the use OF copper latticework,
with upright points placed upon roofs,
the electric current is attracted, carried
through the metal conductors and safe
~ conveyed into the earth without doing
any injury whatever. 1t is, however, of
the utmost Importance that the anchor
age be of the proper sort, as upon this de-
ponds the safety of the dwelling. New

The invalid who is tired of taking her

sugar, keeping it very hot until ready

Hopper Spins a ..Pinaforev Yarn.

Some years ago, when the ''Pinafore"
craze was at its height, the actor who
impersonated Sir Joseph Porter during
production of that opera at the Varie-
ties theater, New Orleans, had make
up which transformed him into an
exact facsimile of Admiral Murray of
the United States navy, who was then
stationed at New Orleans One night an
old salt of Murray's command was sit
ting in the front row Of the gallery.
When Sir Joseph Porter made his first
entrance, he gazed upon him for mo-
ment as if doubling the evidence of his
senses, and then muttered to himself
soto voce "I'm blest if that isn't old
Murray. -
Rising from his seat and making q
sea scrape, he called out, Good day,
your honor. The special officer was
going to eject him, but the manager of
the house, who had observed him, for
babe it and told the officer to let the old
fellow enjoy himself to his hearts con-
tent so long as he did not become so
boisterous as to disturb the performance.
Whenever Sir Joseph came on or
went off the stage, the old salt would
rise and honor him with salute, and
after the fall of the curtain he proposed
and gave three cheers for Admiral Muir
ray. A naval lieutenant who was pres
ent subsequently told me that when the
old fellow went on board his ship next
day he had to be put in irons for refus-
ing to obey an order from his superior
officer unless that functionary would
follow the example of the gallant cap
tain OF the ''Pinafore" and say, eff you
please. De Wolf Hopper i'll New

Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current fol
lighting purposes more generally than DC
most American cities of it's population
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
adoption of a light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause of its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost OF reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
| lamp and the tallow candle. A third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
| troduced by the Government, it was
| offered to consumers on basis of rates,
| which in many cases of commercial
| lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost of
oil for the same amount of illumination.
| The demand thus created soon reached
the limit of that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal TO
| more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own
We offer lighting at the Government
fiat rates as follows:
Stores and offices per Is C. p. light per
month $1.00
Residences per Is c. p. light per
month-to lights 90cts.
Residences per Is c. p. light per
month-excess OF lights 60cts
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights in every
nook and corner of your premises if you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
You use light when and where you
need it and you don't forget TO shut it off
when that need is satisfied. nor do you
feel bound to keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn in order to secure the
value OF a stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what we have delivered to
you and can figure with certainty upon a
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost of a Is e. p. light per hour is
Ia to IL cents, varying with the
efficiency OF the lamp.
The probable cost to you per month is
clearly indicated by the following
analysis of total charges made for resi-
dence lighting during June. Average

Tea and Coffee rs Food.

M. Stanislaus Martin states that, as
the result of an experiment on three
different criminals sentenced TO death
who accepted the scientific trial in pref
erence to hanging No. 1, nourished ex-
clusively on tea, lived three years, and
then died. He had become almost a
skeleton and was in a transparent con-
dition. No. 2, ON coffee, died in two
years, burned as if an interior fire had
calcined him. No. 8 lived on chocolate
for eight months and died in a very adj
vanced state of rottenness, as it were,
devoured by worms. -London Lancet

THE WAY 1T GOES.

When it's spring, you catch a cold:
Summer time, you're meltin;
When it's winter, wood is scarce
Sleet and snow a-peltin.
When you've got the cash in view,
Plenty TO befriend you;
When you need a dime or two,
Not n soul to lend you'll
When you're on the mountain top,
Telescopes to spy you:
When into the ditch you drop,
Whole world passes by you'll
Amt bit o. use TO fret
Take it AZ you find it;
Best world that you've been in yet
Laugh and never mind it!
