manu- or q regiment. He embarked at
Cork for Ostend in May of that same
year.
1t is hardly necessary to say that from
Wellington te Jack Dempsey and John
James Corbets Ireland has been at the
forefront when there was any fighting
to be done.
Wellington did better as a financial
fighter even than those Of later times,
for he received $500, 600 as Waterloo
prize money, and besides being made
Prince of Waterloo he received m estate
from the British nation as Christmas
present valued at e263, 600. Thus he re-
ceived over 81, 500, 900 in two INSTALL
ments, while Napoleon was given a
small tract Of limestone ON a barren is
land so far from town that even if he
could have raised fair crop his mar
kets were about 1000 miles away over
a poorly drained road, on which the
water stood the whole year round.
Wellington went to India, and as
early as 1909 was made a baron, with
a pension Of $40, 600 per year. In 1919
parliament gave him some more thanks
and further pension Of $4,000 per
year.
Aug 12 he was made generalissimo
of the Spanish army, created Marquis
of Wellington, got some more thanks
from parliament and $500, 900 more in
cash, besides orders on the store, gold
headed canes and Pittsburg stoga cigars
without number, I presume, though I
will not be too sure of that.
In 1914 he was made Duke of VEL
lington and received yet other thanks
from parliament and still another PEN
sion. He was the most successful fighter
of his time and by far the dukiest duke
east Of New York.
In 1926 he was appointed constable
of the Tower, with an additional pension
and an annual pass good for self and
family. He had a seat in parliament.
also a cabinet position, and in 1S42
Queen Victoria visited him in person at
Walmer castle, and he would not allow
her to pay a cent while there.

A Parisian Woman

Her respect for the ties and duties of re-
iationship is carried SO far that, under its
impulsion, there are positively (although
she is not always quite pleased about it,
examples of three generations living per-
manently together, apparently in har-
mony. Her attitude toward her children
is one of great love; they live, in most
cases, entirely with her, and constitute the
main object of her existence.
do not pretend that the bringing up
which results therefrom is the best in the
world-that question lies outside the pres
ent matter-but l do maintain that very
striking feature of the indoor life of Paris,
regarded in its family aspects, is the inten-
sity of the attachment and devotedness of
the women to their parents and their chill
dren, and their sympathy for other rela-
tons. Their husbands, perhaps, are not
invariably included in this overlooking
sweetness.
OF course, there are women who care
nothing for either their children or any
one else, but the rule is incontestably
among the middle and upper sections, as
well as in the bourgeoisie, that they are
strangely full of the home tle.-Black

ton might be given to workmen by the
adoption of few precautions so far neg
lected. An obvious method is to lnsulate
them from the ground and DIR. II. Lewis
Jones proposes that this should be done by
covering the floors of all high-pressure
stations with thick layer of asphalt or
with insulated platforms of considerable
extent, with non-conducting lining OF
wood, the insulating resistance of which
might be increased by impregnating 1t
with paraffine wax or tar or yarnish. The
point to be gained would be to make 1t I'M
possible for workman to touch any high
potential conductor or machine, except
when he stands upon a non-conductlng
surface, nor should he be able to touch at
the same time a high potential conductor
and any part of the building which is
in electrical connection with the earth.
ELECTRIC PRoPELLERs AND RUDDERs.-The
coming summer will certainly be the most
active season ever known in this country
among the manufacturers of electric
launches. There is "slickness" about
the electric launch which makes those who
possess it VOW they would never go back
to steam or naphtha. One important fac
tor in its popularity is that women like 1T,
for they can wear the dalntlest dress
throughout the longest summer day with
power is the silent, unobtrusive cell, hidden
away out of sight. 1t is not every one who
is able to afford an electric launch, but
every one who owns rowboat or sail
boat can at but slight expense fit it up so
as to be electrically propelled, Several de-
vices for this purpose have lately been in
vented. One of these is a detachable motor
and propeller. The whole thing weighs
only thirty-fve pounds, and it is
worked by batteries placed under
the stern seat. The motor and
propeller wheel are supported upon a
movable tube, hexibly connected with each
other, and the tube has an attachment for
adjusting it to various forms of boats in
the same manner and with the same ease
that a rudder is shipped. This produces
a combined propelling and steering mech
anism entirely superseding any form OF
rudder for steering purposes. 1t can be so
easily carried and adjusted that it is sure
to be in request among hunters and tour
lists in the mountain lake regions, as we'll
as among boatmen in general. There IS
something very seductive to the summer
loafer inathe idea of being able to row a
skiff until he is tired and then to let the
boat paddle its own way back while he en-
joys his smoke and well-earned rest.

THE WEEK.

~ OLO has driven out of the minds of
E0J society all thoughts of anything else
during the week. The success of the
Burlingame players will give society
respect for the game, and it will be spelled
with capital P. as the horse show was after it
was voted a success. Now coaching and golf
and other imported advertisements may be
expected to be taken up without so much fear
of failure.
As usual at the end of Lent, there is q large
number of engagements announced.
A number OF people have gone south for the
floral festival at Los Angeles, and many more
will follow.
Otherwise there was almost nothing doing
in social way, and the week was as dull as
any We have had in San Francisco.
