What is it?' asked the excited Sunday

"An inspiration!' exclaimed Mr.. Dred-
fuhl. Suppose she refuses to ACCEPT

That makes no difference" said Mr..
Gore. We save the $4,000 and get just
as much advertising. 1 think that beats
our loathsome contemporary with its
puny offer to ex-President Harrison of
$1,000 a day to report the st. Louis con-
vention."

The Scheme Of a YandaI

The item of the expense of keeping
"Old Glory floating every day over pub
lie buildings or school houses where the
daily display of the national banner Is
rendered by law obligatory, is not a
small one. In East st. Louis, ILL.,, a com
pany has been formed with b capital of
100000 to go into tie manufacture of
sheet iron, zinc and other metal flags.
The material from which the flags now
In use are made is not very durable, ana
in the soft coal burning states of the
Union the banner lasts at best but a few
weeks, all depending on the weather.
and after weeks use it becomes q,
dirty as to almost lose it's identity The
Stars and Stripes, duly waving and ap-
parently f1uttering, will be painted on
the metal and then enameled. When
dirty the flag can be loweredAnd washed.
Such flags will withstand the gales
which SO readily whip those now in use
into ribbons.-New York Journal.

California MiIIionaires

What a merry set our California mill
ionaires have proved to be! 1t seems to
have been the fashion among those of
them who have considerably died to ac-
commodate their heirs to leave some
thing of a surplus of wives to go with or
after their millions. Senator Fair was
no exception to the prevailing rule and
no violator of the custom which had
been established among his associates.
1t would not be at all surprising if sew
eral other females were to come forth
like Nettie Craven and produce irrefrag-
able documentary evidence of their union
with the DECEASED millionaire. Senator
Fair. it would appear, was not during
his life entirely engrossed with the art
of money y-making.-San Bernardino Sun.

REDUCING THE NOISES OF CITIES
Movement On Foot to Diminish the Hubbub
Of Urban Life Activity


The Medical Record now enters into
the warfare against the unnecessary
noises Of the city, reciting the sufferings
of the victims of nervous diseases un-
der the inf1ictions to which we have re-
peatedly called the attention of those
whose duty it is to abate nuisances. 1t
is highly probable that New York is
the noisiest great city in the world and
that the most affective noises are un-
necessary.
In Berlin not long ago hotel porter
was fined for whistling, for making a
noise that disturbed the repose of the
public" Here 1t Is the custom to treat
with contempt those persons who are
irritated by noises. Yet it was the opin-
ion Of Schopenhauer that only such peo-
pie are worthy of consideration and that
those who are Indifferent to noises are
intellectually dull, being "insensible to
reasons, to thoughts, to poetry and art.
and, in short, to mental Impressions Of
every kind
In world where insomnia af1icts
multitudes we tolerate the rafting Of
loose-jointed, unoiled wagons on tho
stone pavements; we permit anybody to
keep barking dog or shrill-voiced par
rot; every pert miss may hammer a
piano, windows open, while her senti-
mental elder sister MARBLES ear-piercing
ballads; teamsters not ten feet apart yell
at each other as though there were half
mile between them. Then the eternal
nuisance Of the changing gong of the
street railway, necessary in q measure,
but changed with such ferocity as to be-
wilder instead of warning endangered
persons; the church bells and especially
the chimes both unnecessary in this
day of cheap and universal clocks and
watches. and, worst Of all, the scream
ing hucksters, old clothes men and the
bugle-blowing knife grinders-all con-
spring to make sleep impossible to the
nervous invalid and thought difficult to
the studious.
1t is possible to insure a large measure
of quiet for the invalids and others who
are now annoyed by noises that serve no
useful purpose. There is not a butcher
boy or a grocery boy who could not be
compelled to moderate his noise. There
is not bawling huckster but would
conceal his voice under menace of a fine.
not driver but could be persuaded by
the police to tighten his screws and bolts
to prevent rafting and so on. The main
object of life is to enjoy the little we
get in reasonable quiet and whoever
violates the right of the citizen to this
is proper subject for admonition and
repression.-New York Commercial Ad-
varticar

A Bold Physician

Bismarck's private physician, DR..
Schwenninger, recently had public lee
ture and conference in Berlin, at which
the hearers We're invited to ask questions.
Among the opinions expressed by the
doctor were these: That medicines never
heal dis eases; that the reasons why men
lose their hair is because they have it c,ir
and wear hats; that corsets are an alb
omination and were first introduced by
deformed women; that vaccination Is
useful, but should not be compulsory, etc,

why Sister Nary Broke Her Engagement

W ny SISTER mary bfOhe 1er engagement
with the Doctor.
When Sister Mary began it she in
ended it to be a lamp mat, and the re-
,civer was to be my Cousin Sarah.
Sister Mary is rather touchy about
some things, but never knew anything
to affect her so severely as the mere
mention of that lamp mat does now.
In fact, | studiously refrain from all
mention of it unless particularly wish
to rile her.
Cousin Sarah and Sister Mary are
about the same age. | shall not men
lion Sister Mary's age, as she is still
unmarried (haying broken with the
doctor that Christmas), but | think
am allowed to state that Cousin Sarah
was As last August, for, since she is mar
ried, she is not so particular about con-
cealing her years.
OF course Sister Mary would never
have attempted making a lamp mat
(for she had never crocheted one be-
fore) if Cousin Sarah had not bought
the Dresden lamp, so blame the whole
trouble on the Dresden lamp.
The lamp mat began all right, with a
little round fiat center. Sister Mary
got that finely. But as the size in

creased the thing seemed to curl up
around the edge, like the tail of a dried
herring, and the larger it grew the
more it curled up, until it got to be
the shape of a china wash basin.
don't know what was wrong with it,
for | am not an expert in that line, but
before the lamp mat was complete Sis
ter Mary decided to call it bag of some
sort or other, and put ribbons on it for
handles and a tassel on the bottom
You see, when lamp mat makes up its
mind to be a pudding bag you just
have to let it have its own way.
So, as ! said, she put long ribbons on
it, pink ones, and some bows, and ]
took it over and gave it to the bald
headed doctor, with her compliments
and a Merry Christmas"
She was engaged to him then.
That was all right, but what do you
think that doctor did? Why, he sat
right down and wrote her note thank
ing her for her kindness in sending him
such a tasty and comfortable night
cap" and assuring her that it would
bring him pleasant dreams. Yes, sir!
And | don't wonder Sister Mary got
mad and broke the engagement.
But you can bet she hasn't tried to
make any lamp mats since.
