Repdcrlnw Gas nurner. sarer.

Electricity has not yet displaced gas altogether as an illuminant, nor will it do SO for long while yet. A large number of people. therefore, continue to have practical interest in gas burn CTS. An attachment for such devices has recently been patented by Benjamin F. Field of Los Angeles, designed to serve good purpose. One occasionally hears of partial or complete suffocation from carelessness in ext;nguishing gas lights in sleeping rooms. Inexperienee, inattention, fatigue or possibly intoxi- sation prevents the valve from being properly ciused when the gas is turned of, and probably this has more than the alleged blowing out of the light to do with the accidental asphyxiation re- ported every now and then by the news papers. Proceeding on that theory. at any rate, Mir. Field affixes to the valve stem a light spiral spring, which con tinually tries to shut of the gas. When the gas is turned on, jointed thumb piece may be caught in any one of sev- eral notches and held there automatic ally. To put the light out, 1t is neces- sary only to disengage the thumbpiecc. The spring then closes the valve and closes it tight. The mechanism does not interfere at all with the regulation of the size of the flame. New York Tribune.

Packing a Trunk We'll.

Do you know how to pack trunk we'll? asks Ruth Ashmore in The Lad ies' Home Journal And if you don't how many people do you know who do? And wouldn't t you gladly give $l for large and 50 cents for small trunk that is properly packed? The packer comes with dozens of sheets of tissue paper and several pieces of tape. You can sit where you belongings are. and as skirts and bodices are taken down say which you want Then the bodices have their sleeves stuffed with paper to keep them in shape, the trimmings care fully covered with it; the skirts are properly folded; the bonnets and hats have tapes pinned to them, and these same tapes are tackled to the sides of the hatbox, so that no matter how much the trunk may be shaken not a feather nor rose moves out of its place. Then when every thing is done there is land on the top of the last tray list of the things that are in the trunk, so that you don't lose you temper searching for the pink bodice which isn't there, or the tan colored shoes which you expressly requested should be left at home.

A Travellers Tale.

It was in a first class carriage, and the passengers. throwing off all cold reserve. had been beguiling the journey with pleasant conversation. One man in par ticular, whose bronzed and sun burned features told of long sojourns in foreign lands, had kept them all interested with his anecdotes and stories of far distant climes.
 .'Yes, gentlemen" said he, ''there is nothing like travel to expand the mind. You see so many sights that are novel and have so many strange experiences that foreign tour is an education in it. self. Now, l don't suppose, for instance, that many of you gentlemen have ever seen beet root putting on 8 waistcoat." /"
 The company sat up, staring ill sur prise.
 ''Seen beet root putting on waist coat? No, we certainly have not"
 "Nor lettuce donning a pair of trou- sers?"
 "No."
 "Nar pile of mustard and cress get ting into shooting jacket"
 "No."

 No, not even that"
 "Well. gentlemen" said the traveller as the train drew up in the station and he prepared to escape, you may believe me or believe me not, as you like. But several times in my wanderings have seen with my own eyes not only beet root or a lettuce or an onion but 8 whole salad dressing. "-London Tit-Bits.

East of these points there was no interruption to traffic, and west it was complete tieup.
 At Grand Forks the officials wanted to get out train and swore in % deputies to protect them, but 300 men assembled at the depot and declared that no train could he made up there. Trouble is feared be- fore the day is over Another attempt wss made at Devils Lake to take out train. but 1t failed, as had both previops at- tempts during the last three days. There was no rioting, but the 100 strikers at that point stood their ground, and the train was not started.
 One train was moved at Larimore, N D., but no mails have arrived since Saturday, and everything is said to be tied up.
