Saved by His Mileage Ticket.

Mileage tickets in Berlin go by the
namc of "kilometcrhcft," and the
stamped stubs show exactly when and
where the holder Of the ticket was at
any given time and place. This is
what saved the drummer from Carls-
ruhe firm the other day in predica-
ment. Jus, rs he was climbing into a
train leaving for Mannheim he was ar
rested. An awful crime had been COM
mitted a few hours before in the
Haardt forest, not far away, and the
minute description of the perpetrator
tailed exactly with the appearance of
the unfortunate drummer. Then the
ticket came to his rescue. That fur
nished an undeniable alibi for him, us
it showed him TO have been one hun
bred miles from the scene of the crime
at the time of its occurrence. The
proof was furnished SO promptly that
the drummer did not even miss his
train. -Doston Transcript

WILLING TO OBLiGE.
How a Pompous Little Person Was Kindly
Handled.


A very self-important little man who
gazes at the public buildings with the
keen glance of one who has money in
vested in them, and who regards pub
lie officials with the piercing glance
which counsels them to earn their
money or account for themselves, APP
preached tall man the other day with
Indignation glistening in his eyes.
II demand to know" he said, in a
firm voice, why am forced to remain
on this side of the street when my
business calls me to the other?"
The policeman looked trine startled
for second or SO, but recovering him
self, he replied
We'll, who's keepin' you from goin'p"
The traffic, sir; the traffic of
vehicles; yet pedestrians are supposed
to have the right of way"
WELL" gruffiy responded the officer,
what are you going to do about itp"
II nm going to insist on my rights,
sir" said the responsible citizen.
That's easy" said the officer.
"And see that get them"
THAT will be harder"
You are n public servant In the
public pay, and at the call of the pub
lie, therefore demand a safe passage
for any person across this thorough
fare. 1t is your duty to see that my
demands arc complied with"
The big policeman looked at him for
moment in quandary, then. seem
ing to solve the problem, he said, with
wink in his eye:
"A safe passage you want, Is It?
Well, you shall have it."
And, before the responsible citizen
could divine his intention, he picked
him up tucked him under his arm and
was lodging between the horses
heads across the street. The little
man had not recovered his breath be-
fore the bluecoat dropped him on the
opposite pavement, and started back
again. Chicago News.

MODERN coNveNIeNces.
some Handy improvements In House Fur
nIshings.


nishings.
There are some modern conveniences
that are rightly satired by Emerson as
''inconveniences" All this undoubt-
eddy is true of the superfluous station
airy washstand, and in general of any
superHuous plumbing. The intelli-
gence of modern housebuilders reduces
the amount of plumbing as far as pos
sible. No one who has lived in house
in which there was permanent water
supply and one where the water was
brought from an adjacent brook or
pumped up from a cistern that was
dry half the year is likely to condemn
even superiority of plumbing. 1t Is
becoming more and more the rule
rather than the exception to have
permanent water supply brought
into the house from some noun
tain stream. There are few farm
be brought to the house and connected
with regular system in the kitchen,
which will supply the family with hot
and cold water, a bathroom and sta
tionary washtubs. There are thou
sands of farmhouses already supplied
with water run in pipes from some
cool mountain stream, who never think
of the possibility of n bathroom, sink
and stationary washtubs. To some
families the cost of these Improve
ments" appears to make them prohibi-
tory. Yet it is not the actual cost of
the plain fixtures so much as the mis-
taken idea of what they will cost
which keeps so many families from
enjoying the comparative ease that
such arrangements bring to house,
work. The Hibernian servant who in
quires if you have tubs" in the house,
and replies with uplifted nose
that she could not come to yes"
when you answer in the negative, APP
preciates we'll the convenience of those
laundry tubs. There are very few
houses where water has already been
brought to the house where all these
modern convcniences, emitting the SUI
perfluous stationary wash-stand, can
not be procured for seventy-fve to one
and cold water brought to the sink,
laundry tubs and bathroom. The
pipes will be galvanized iron, not lead,
because the former can be put in easier
without an expert workman than lead.
The work may be done Mt this price in
thorough, workmanlilse manner
The slight knowledge necessary to
take care of the simple plumbing of a
house may be readily learned by one of
the family, so it viii not be necessary
to send distance in case of break.
In fact, where ordinary intclli-
gence and care are exercised, and the
plumbing of n house has been fairly
done at first, accidents are rare.
Frozen pipes, stopped drains and the
various mishaps that overtnlte house
hold plumbing are clearly the result
of carelcssness in construction or
negligence in the care of the pipes.
"1n twenty-five years Of housckeep-
ing said housewife recently, II
have never pnid out a cent for care
lessness in regard to plumbing,
though most Of that time have kept
two servants" Her experience would
probably DO the experience of most
careful housekeepers. The introduce
tion OF iron pipagc has made plumbing
possible where once it was impractica-
BILE because of scarcity of genuine
plumbers or leadworkers in remote
country districts.-N. Y. Tribune.
