EXTRA FOR LYING

THE WISE PLUMBER.

The following story is hardly credible,
especially as it is laid not far from Evans
ton: 1t is said that one of the water pipes
was shut off to allow some repairs to be
made. Immediately some Of the families
supplied by that pipe imagined that the
house pipes were stopped up, so they sent
for plumber. AS soon as he received the
first call the plumber investigated and
learned that the water would be turned
into the pipes again in about three hours.
During that three hours he received sew
en- calls and went to seven houses, where
he made a great deal of noise hammering
on the pipes. At each place he told the
family not to trifie with the faucets while
he was away.
After the water had been turned in the
pipes he revisited the houses, did some
more mystifying work, and succeeded in
inducing the water to run from the fau-
Gets.
Then he collected seven large bills for re-
pairs and his victims were none the wiser.
Such is the Story.-ChcagO Record.

comes there is a grand ceremony and much
feasting.
One who was present at a royal haircut
ting tells us that the darling of the harem
was rebed In long flowing garments of
silk and lace, confined at the waist by a
golden girdle.~ Her long hair, coiled for
the last time, was fastened with diamond
pins, which cleaned and glittered- among

LIS NEWARK w. J.) Advertiser says:
When is woman lady, and when is

agitating the minds of Mrs. Deland, Mrs.
Burton Harrison and Miss Sarah Orne
Jewett; which is perplexing because it is
old, and because it is perplexing. The
historical fact is, very simply, that orig
inally this word Lady implied the
mother, wife, sister or daughter of man
OF rank-equivalent to the word Lord, ;
which for ages has been in the British
Islands and is now applied indiscrimi-
nately to various orders of the peerage
below the rank of Marquis; as, for ex-
ample, Lord Beaconsfield, an Earl; Lord
Exmouth, Viscount; Lord Overstone, a
Baron. and to their wives indiscrimi-
nately, as for example, Lady Beacons-
field, Lady Exmouth, Lady Overstone, al
though in all state and in certain social
instances these nOblemen and their
wives take precedence according to their
rank.
But not only are the wives of the peers
of all ranks Ladies' but their mothers.
sisters and daughters are such. And
then, besides the mothers. wives. sis
tiers and daughters of the peers, the
wives and daughters of their sons and
daughters are such indefinitely. to say
nothing of the female members Of the
families of baronets and knights and Of
knights of whom there is a
very large body-2,500 or 5000 at least
all of whom are ladies ALSO The ex-
tension of the title, then, from the Ouch
es of Bedford to the Mayoress of York,
and throughout all the different orders of
the nobility and knighthood, has been
so great that, in legal or seni-legal
sense, it must at this moment include at
least 100000 persons. Having gone so
far as this, it is not wonderful that by
courtesy it includes substantially all
the women of the islands,"

ELECTRIC TOWING

On the st. Denis Canal, France, some
trials of towing by electricity on the b.
vet system have been made with a barge
fitted at one end with an electric motor
communicating it's rotary motion by gear
to the towing wheel, which gives mag.
hectic adhesion to the towing rope. The
current was taken by a trolley from of
an overhead line on the bank, portion
serving for magnetizing the clutch and
towing chain A distance of about 394
yards is said to have been accomplished
in eight minutes. corresponding with a
speed of II miles an hour, which is abou,
double that obtained by ordinary towage
AS to whether on the whole the system
was regarded as success is not stated

TEACHING COLORS

Preyer, the German student of the child s
mind, taught his son Of 2 years to distin-
guish primary colors by means Of small
ovals each of different color. A student
of Preyer's book has hit upon less scien-
tific but more poetical scheme of teaching
the same thing to little child by means
of flowers and other natural objects. The
difficulty, of course, is to be sure of uni
formity of color in natural objects through
learns to dissociate the idea of color from
the object itself when a yellow pansy, a
red rose, or a blue violet is presented after
a drill with different colored flowers Of the
same kind. A red rose and a yellow rose
are quickly recognized and differentiated,
and the quality of color is accentuated
when a red rose and yellow pansy are
brought to the chid's attention.

SALARIES OF RULERS,

There is certainly one very nice feature
about being a potentate, and that is the
income that comes to the occupant of a
lofty place. Besides having all his wants
attended to, and large number of palaces
always at his disposal, the emperor OF
Russia is. said to receive $4,000 a day; the
sultan of Turkey receives $4,000 a day
a day. Emperor William has to get along
on $4,000 from breakfast to bedtime; Queen

THE WORK OF DRESSING

Moved by the sentiment of the French
man that committed suicide because he
was tired of buttoning and unbuttoning, an
advocate of dress reform for men has
counted the number of articles that man
must put on before starting to his daily
task Movable buttons being counted, the
number of separate articles exceeds go. AS
to the motions of dressing their number
appalls one when they are counted up and
thought upon. If to the articles of neces-
sary clothing man should add the con-
veniences that nine out of ten carry, the
number would tire him to think of.
