A great many large business houses
have an apparatus attached to their front
doors SO that when the porter leaves at
night and locks the door he at the same
time shuts off the water in the main pipe
leading from the street and so prevents all
danger of flooding if some careless person
has left cock turned ON up stairs.
That apparatus is the invention of Mr..
Oscar Hammerstein, who tells an inter
esting story of how the idea came to him.
~ owned "a big warehouse down town."
he said, "the upper part of which used
as printing Office for a paper was run
ming then. and rented the lower floors as
a tobacco warehouse. Well one night
the printers went away and left the water

upon to pay $500 for the damage done my

came to me. l had plumber bring the
main water pipe of the building up right
beside the front door. Then / connected
a cock in this pipe with the lock 80 that
when the door was shut and locked the
water was cut off. In the morning, when
the porter came and unlocked the door,
the water was turned on again.

Edmund Russell has recently said some
ity and refinement of jewels. He main
tains that when they fit the particular
woman who wears them they are beauti-
ful, but otherwise they are vulgar adver-
tisement OF tho husbands business. True
refinement, he says, will not come until the
secret of making gems by chemical forma-
tion has been discovered. Then they will
be combined and worn according to their
beauty and art, not according to their size
and dazzling qualities. People will say.
"Oh, l no longer wear my necklace since
they have had diamond doorknobs on the
hathouse opposite. I now wear this won
derful piece of filigree had in my drawer
so long and thought nothing Of" or
"Since they have been using diamonds as
headlights on the cable cars / have
brought out those Jeypore enamels from
India that they wanted me to lend to the
art museum"
The five stones for mems wear, he says,
are the chrysoberyl catseye, Alexan-
drite, cinnamon diamond, star ruby and
star sapphire A woman should decide on
IA colored stone suiting her type and then
wear it with colorless gems as back
ground. Colored stones, he maintains,
should never be mixed.
Plain women, according to this author
ity, should wear interesting things, an
tiques, curios and what he calls gro
tesgues. For street wear nothing better
than Japanese gold and bronze ornaments
are to be found.-New York Evening

there would be heat enough for this mon

That consumption was contagious was
an old theory and the Spaniards, centuries
ago, were In the habit of destroying the
bedding and belongings of consumptives,
and in some cases even the house In which
they lived, for fear of the spreading of the
plague. That it is not very actively con-
tagious is proved sufficiently by the fact
that the dwellers in cities are alive at all,
for statistics prove that from one-tenth TO
one-fifth OF all the deaths in large cities
are due directly or indirectly to the dis
ease, and that consequently number of
sufferers from the disease must be present
in every large gathering of people. Ex-
cept in the later stages the patient is not
confined 10 his bed. He mingles in all so
cial and industrial avocations of life. Not
infrequently he is "the life Of the party"
or the "hardest worker of the office" In
the present state OF society, at least. such
