a Story of DisraeIi.

On the last occasion on which tho queen
opened parliament in person, Disracli,
who was Mt that time prime minister, was
inadvertently locked in the division lobby
and had lost his hat. In vain did no ap-
peal to tho trusty janitors. On the very
raro occasion on which her ma jesty charges

rules which govern parliamentary eti-
quetto arc incXoMblc
After tho queen has onco taken her seat
no ono must either leave or enter. This is
rendered quite impossible, even to tho
prime minister who may have arrived a
few minutes late by the fact that not
only are all tho doors locked as soon as
tho royal procession has entered, but on
tho morning of the opening of parliament
private locks are affixed to all tho doors,
which can only be opened by tho lord
chamberlain and tho first commissioner
of works. Thus it was that Dsracli was
no participator in this interesting ccre-
monial; nor was he released to retain pos
session of his hat until her majesty had
dismissed her faithful servants to tho du-
ties of the session - Realm.

STOVEPlPE AND ELBOWS.
An Important Feature In the Business OF
Dealers In Stoves In This Country.

lin and sheet iron workers dealing in
stoves usually mako their own stovepipo
while the bulk of tho product of stovepipo
manufacturers is sold to dealers in stoves,
hardware and house furnishing goods
Most stovcpipe is madc by hand. There
are various patents rotating To tho man
ner of joining tho seam, and pipes arc
made that can be shipped nestled, the seams
to bo Joined Mt the point of destination,
thereby saving freight charges.
Stovepipo is sold in joints, two feet in
length and in various diamcters. In an
thracito regions the pipe averages five or
six inches in diameter, but in soft coal
regions 1t Is mostly seven or eight inches
In diameter. Stovcpipo Is much cheaper
than 1t used to be. Such pipe as formerly
sold at retail mt 90 cents joint can now
be bought at Is cents or less. There are In
the United States about 40, 900 dealers of
one kind and another who sell stoves, and
tho annual consumption of stovepipo In
this country amounts to millions of joints
Stovepipc manufacturers begin making
pipe for the winter trade about tho middle
of summer, and jobbors begin placing their
orders about tho Same time. Tho distrbu-
ton to dealers Is active through August
and September, and it continues until tho
end of winter
Whilo many stove dealers having tin
smiths plants mako their own pipe, very
few now manufacture elbows which they
can buy cheaper from tho manufacturer.
There arc numerous patents on elbows.
There are elbows that are made all in ono
piece, and others arc made in sections
There Is more machine work in tho manu-
facturo of elbows than in the manufacture
of pipo. The old fashioned right anglcd ol-
bow of two pieces is still made by hand,
but its snlo is limited and most elbows arc
of tho modern kind, with three, four or
five sections. Thorc arc adjustable elbows,
made with II movable joint which can be
adjusted to any angle or to two angles

In buying narrow silk glovo it is almost
impossible to obtain fingers long enough
to last we'll. If tho fingers arc long enough,
the glove is too wide 1t is tho samo way
with ready lnado gowns and coats. Any
garment that is full enough across tho

garment will not meet in 'front.' 1t is
owing to this peculiar mode of construo-
