Belfast's scarcity of landlords in active
practice at the present time is source of
comment among the travelling fraternity,
who relate amusing incidents concerning
the dearth and are reminded of old times
when it was not thusly. Among the
"reminiscences an episode in the life of
genial boniface who dispensed comfort for
man and beast In that town years ago is
| recalled. He was quite a gallant and was
not wholly above the suspicion of his
wife. He was accustomed to don his best
after supper and saunter out ostensibly
to attend some meeting or to visit Il
friend. Finally his better half concluded
that he needed watching. Now there
was trap door by which after dark it
was possible, were he SO disposed, for the
landlord to descend unnoticed to the
servants quarters in the basement, where
In the cleaning on the back veranda he
could enjoy the society of the housemaids
This fact dawned upon the good woman,
so one night she had barrel of soft soap
moved just beneath the trap door and
waited. She had not long to wait before

like porpoise in u washtub 1t is said
that by the time his wife had pulled him
out of the soft soap he was reformed

Buying here now is par
ticularly fascinating, because
our stock of dry goods is so
remarkably fresh, SO full Of
new things.
Your season is at its height,
but the manufacturers and
wholesalers season is over.
They had to get rid of their
summer stock, no matter how
attractive or how much they
sacrificed. A store with clean
stock and free hands has
better chances to buy the
finest goods below the cost
of manufacture. One stores
goods bythemselVes tell only
half the story; what are those
goods like in other stores ?
A stock of Honey Comb
quilts means interest added
if they are rot sold until fall.
It's your chance now to buy
them cheap. Quilts are good
things to keep. White Pen
lope canvas is a grade higher
than you've been used to,
but the price is less-to us
and to you if you wear white
clothes. Victoria Lawns are
fashionable in Hawaii twelve
months in the year, the price
depends upon where you
buy them. With US, they
are a trifle lower than in the
smaller shops. We buy them
in quantities, because the
price is less.
Pillow linen. Torchon lace
and real ValenCienneS lace are

the same with carpets and

PARIS OBSERVATORY TELESCOPE

L N~'
A special train recently brought into
the city of Paris a parcel that was
carefully wrapped up in heavy felt
blankets, and bound around with soft
wood hoops, which was watched and
handled with all the care that might
be extended to the crown jewels of
the Car by Russian railway officials.
The parcel thus brought in by special
train contained nothing more nor less
than the rough block of crystal which
is destined to form the lens of the huge
telescope at the 1900 exhibition. In
it's present state the piece of glass
weighs $500 pounds and has already
cost $40, 900 1t will cost 1000 more,
and take thirty months of polishing
by a novel and secret mechanical pro-
cess before it is finished. It's diameter
is nearly seven feet, and it is expected
to bring the moon within thirty eight
miles of the eye, but the chief experts
of the Paris Observatory say that its
images will not be so distinct as theirs
are now at ninety-four miles, which
they believe is the utmost practical
limit.

NEW MATERIAL FOR sKYLIGHTs

Glass has hitherto been the best ma
terial known for skylights, but it was
forever cracking, breaking and leaking,
owing to the effect on it of heat, cold,
blows, storms, expansion, contraction,
etc. To overcome these defects many
and various forms of skyIight frames
have been invented, but the troubles
are not materially lesSened. The in
PRODUCTION of iron and steel in the con-
structiOn of buildings has made mat
ters worse for the glass skylight.
The expansion and contraction of the
metal framework plays havoc with the
glass, and the yearly cost of repairing
IS considerable. To meet the need of
mort durable skylight material a
translucent wire cloth has been invent
ed, which, when filled in with a semi
transparent impervious substance
does all that glass can do, and great
deal more. While transmitting a large
amount of light, it is strong, flexible
weather-proof. durable and practically
unbreakable. The substance covering
the wire cloth is composed almost en-
tirely Of boiled linseed OIL which is
subjected to an oxidizing process. The
is claimed to be virtually fire
proof, and to cost much less than glass
skylightS.

A PRISON AS A HEALTH RESORT

1t is the one aim and object of some
people to fird the most healthy spot to
live in. The latest health resort the
Hospital has heard eXtolled is Penton-
vile Prison, where during the past
year, among II, 495 prisoners, there has
only been one death. Whether the ar
gument is most in favor of limited diet
and plenty of work, or of the healthi-
ness of the locality, or all three COM
bined, says the Medical Record, it is
not possible to state definitely.
