Tissue Lamp Shades Are Dangerous.

With each new refinement of civil
ization there come new dangers. 1t
is sufficient to recall the horrible scare
of arsenic that followed tho introluc-
tion of green wall papers. Tho last
addition to tho category OF "deathsin
the home" is not SO far-reaching as
this, for it deals with tissue-paper
lamp shades, which many hold ought
not TO he included either among re-
finements or civilization. DR.. A.
Dupre describes case OF presumably
spontaneous ignition occurring with
one OF these shades in the day time,
and analysis showed that the paper
was colored with inhammable chro'
mate OF lead. A dangerous fire was
only narrowly averted in consequence.
Yellow and pale green tissue papers
are especially to bo avoided for lamp
shades unless it can ba shown that
this risky substance is not present in
them. 1t is easily detected by setting
light to piece OF the paper and try
ing to blow it out again. Ordinary
paper is extinguishel at once, but the
chromate will burn like touch paper
until the whole is consumed. Chicago

away that has occurred here in a long
time was the cause Of four little boys
being seriously injured. About IL
O'Clock Edgar Sheldon and three little
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Hopkins
hitched up a fractions horse to cart
and were going for drive, and while
turning the corner near the Pleasant
Grove school house the horse became
unmanageable and all were thrown to
the ground.
Harry Hopkins, the eldest of the
brothers, received severe scalp
wound, which was sewed up, and was
otherwise badly bruised. The second
Hopkins boy received dislocated ell
bow and was also badly scratched and
bruised. The youngest of the trio of
brothers was the worst injured of all.
His right arm and left collar bone was
both broken and he received a severe
nervous shock.

at the Memorial services at Normal

There were the usual preliminary
services, including the reading of a

prayer by Rev. L. W. Beattie, and
singing by the NJ. E. church choir.
Rev. ]. f. Stout preached the me-

right hand forget it's cunning. If I
not remember thee, let my tongue

The topic was ''The True Patriot"
The speaker opened witha picture of
the Jewish captives in Babylon, the
sport of. their captors and the assertion
Of Jewish patriotism.
There are three characteristics of
the true patriot: /: A love of cOun-
try. 2; A careful observation. 3;
Devotion to her service.
The patriot of the sixties was con-
graduated on his heroic valor and the
things he wrought. He gave us a I'M
tied people, a reformed social order
and reformed spirit.
The patriot of the nineties was re-
minded of three dangers that menace
to-day: 1; The spoils system in poll
tics. 2; The intolerance of immoral
ity and the labor uprising. He was
congratulated on his outlook. He is
fitted to meet these dangers by the
system of government in which he
lives. The sympathy of the people
who make up the nation, and the
geographical location which makes
America free to work out her own
problems untrammeled by other ma
tiOns.
The record Of the patriot of the six
ties gives inspiration to the patriot of
the ninties to do his work with care
and courage and the reward shall be
