Inoandescent Lamp Cleaner.

Many people blame the central sta
ton for the poor light from their mean
descent lamps, when the fault is really
their own. They allow their lamps to be
dirty 1t has been shown that one days
accumulation of dust on incandescent
bulbs cuts off per cent Of the light. so
the result of few days neglect can
easily DO guessed. As means of remov-
ing to great extent the frequent com
plants of poorness of light central
station recommends the use of a lamp
cleaner which greatly facilitates the
process Of busting the bulbs. To a 3 foot
handle is attached strong wire frame-
work, which carries a number of felt
mittens BY forcing the frame over each
lamp and giving the handle a few turns
the dust ON the glass is removed, leav-
ing the bulb as clean as when it left tho
factory Each cleaner is provided with
a set Of rubber friction pads that will,
when suitably placed on the mittens,
remove and replace burned ont lamps
The handle can lie extended 80 as TO
reach lamps ut any distance This dc.
vice makes the cleaning of lamps very
quick and easy task. st Louis Glohc.

Gun lscoMpAaasle ice CREAM.

Earopeans strive 10 Initiate ~. but Their
Efforts Have been Vain.
Ice cream il pre-eminently an Ameri-
ram specially. All the Atlantic passen-
ger steamers plying between this port
aud Europe take aboard in New York
sufficient supply of ice cream for the
VOYAGE back 10 New York as well as for
the outward journey. despite the fact
that the cost Of the article Is greater
here than abroad. and that it is expen-
giye stuff to keep. The round trip occu-
pies at least three weeks, and the cream
has TO last that period. one week OF
which the ship is tied mp in dock. with
fhe cream eating up Ice in the refriger-
ator at prodigious rate. When the au-
tumn rush homeward sets in and the
steamers are crowded 10 the limit, the
amount of ice cream TINS carried from
this port and kept at least two weeks for
use on the return voyage Is a big item
in the provision account. Many kinds ~
provisions and supplies are cheaper III
Europe than here. and Of these the
steamers lay in double stock ut the Eu-
roiean ports. Ice cream, too, is cheaper
in Europe. but it has the fatal disad-
vantage that it is not ice cream as the
American regards the article.
Ice has come 10 be less Of novelty
ON the table in Europe in recent years,
mainly, doubtless. because of the insist
ence of the thousands Of Americans who
make Europe their summer playground.
Ice cream, too, you can get in most OF
the big cities, even in England But it
usually lacks the main, indefinable quail
tiles that make it so attractive at home.
Europeans may talk about the inimitable
bouquet of their wines, but the bouquet
of American ice cream is beyond them.
This is not a matter Of natural advan-
tages and facilities, rs is claimed for tho
wine and other things, for Switzerland
is full of ice topped mountains. and her
valleys are filed with cows.
A varied and recent experience with
the ice creams of Europe induces the
conclusion that only the 'sorbetto" one
gets on the Piazza of st. Marks in
Venice approaches the delicious perfec-
ton of the ordinary every day ice cream
of America Perhaps this is because the
Venetians themselves eat ice cream,
whereas in most other European cities
10 is regarded as an outlandish concoc-
ton, prepared only for the peculiar pal
ate of the stranger. 1t is IA far cry and q
strange one, from st. Mark IS to Madison
square. but the delighted exclamation of
a group of American girls, ordering ice
cream there as they had done all the
way down from London, ''Ah this is
something like' covered the distance

Met by Chance.

An amusing story is told of Robert
Franz, tho famous German song writer,
and another equally celebrated compos-
CT. The incident occurred soon after
the publication of FRANCS famous
"Open Letter to Edward Hanslick, F" in
which he made severe criticism upon
some musical work Of the composer,
Johannes Brahms.
Franz had occasion ut that time TO
take five or six hours trip by rail. In
the compartment with him was little
man with whom he fell into converse
ton. The fellow travellers found each
other delightful and whiled the hours
away In agreeable talk, which did not
turn upon music.
When the train reached Francs des-
tination, he took ont his card case. say
ing to his companion:
"You have made me pass most de-
lightful afternoon. Allow mo to give
You my card. "
The stranger seemed highly gratified
and offered Franz his card III return.
Each looked at the bit of pasteboard he
had received in amazement The stran-
gers eyes opened wide at reading the
name of his merciless critic, "Dr. Rob-
ert Franz, while Franz himself was
equally astounded at reading on the card
in his hand, johannes Brahms.
There was no time for mutual expla-
nations, bat each of the musicians had
discovered that. however their ideas
might differ from a musical standpoint
they were mt least admirable travelling
companions and had found much to en-
joy in each other Youth Companion.

a certain talent in my legs, just as Ma
poleon had a certain genius in the legs
of his soldiers. My books go through
many processes. To begin with, ! fill my
notebooks. Each note rs it is nsed is
scratched ont in blue or red pencil.
From these written notes and the tablets
of my memory-'the deltoi of my MEM

Il write this first copy ON alternate
pages of my copyboolzs. and leave the
opposite slieot blank When the book is
finished in its rough state. | rewrite it

looks at this second copy and suggests
to me what improvements might be
made. i note these down.
''Then Irewrite the whole book again
with the joy Of a schoolboy who feels
that wearisome task is ended. So that,
apart from my notes. write each man
