ELECTROLYsIs BOTHERs.
Kansas City Water Main Ruined by
an Electric Current

Kansas city. Nov. -Superinten-
dent Longwen of the water department
reported to the board of public works
today another break in the water
mains due to electrolysis. The break
occurred yesterday on the 8-inch main
on Ninth street. between Wyoming and
Genesee streets When the workmen
dug in to repair the main they found
that a joint had been eaten through
directly under one of the columns Of
the Elevated railroad structure. The
pipe was badly pitted and on one side
bore traces of an accumulation Of car
bon, showing that an alternating cur
rent of electricity had undoubtedly
caused the break.
Electrician Grover of the MetropoH-
tan system admitted, after an exami-
nation. that escaping currents were to
blame for the damage The pipe is ia
the heart Of the district where the
worst cases of electrolysis were discov-
cred by Prof. Blake when he made his
Investigation last summer. Since that
time the metropolitan company has
constructed return wires and has band
ed its iron structure to prevent escap-
ing currents.

What Made Brindle Mad.

Says "John," In the Farm Journal
Strange how persistent some cattle are
about getting out. You know our big
brindled bull. Well he was bent upon
getting out of the pasture into the big
lower meadow last summer. We couldn't
keep him in the lot. There were q few
apple.trees in the moving and he wanted
the fruit. 1 had noticed o gigantic nest
built by hornets In one of these trees near
the fence. One day we were coming ND
to dinner and there was Brindle under
the hornets NEST. One of us threw a stone
into the nest and, my how they struck
him ! He started across the meadow full
tilt and went into the road without wait
ing to take down the bars. His remarks
were q blat in one long streak, and he
didn't stop when he got to the barn.
Glitch up a boss |! hitch up q boss p
cried Uncle Horace as we got up within
hailing distance Of the house. "That ar

miles away as docile as a kitten and had
no troGble bringing him home. Did he
ever get in the meadow again. Never I

Etiquette of Introductions.

Young women when introduced to
young men should not offer to shake
hands.
When an introduction is given the
name should be pronounced in a clear,
distinct tone.
It is bad form to introduce on the street
or in any place of amusement.
In%troductions should not be given either
at home Or in society unless permission is
asked.
In the introduction of elderly people
the younger should be introduced to the
elder-not the reverse.
Two ladies can shake hands on being
introduced. 1t is considered good form.
A hostess should always extend her
hand to a stranger when brought to her
house for the first time.
At a dinner party the hostess introduces
to the lady the gentleman who is to take
her in to dinner.
AT lawn parties introductions are freely
given.
AT large receptions the hostess, as a
rule, cannot Introduce. She is too busy
receiving her friends. Ia this case the
''roof introduction" is sufficient.

THE RETURN HOME.
BY BEATRICE CLAYTON.

-
l thought it would be sweet to walk again
The quaint old streets; to see each well
known scene.
To lfye again my childhood. Years of main
And toll had wrought great longing to erase
Even memory of late days; my weary brain
And world worn heart turned backward to
retrace
L1fe's early morn forgetting all betweeni
Alas! how changed l find the dear old place!
So many gone of friends that once l knewi
Strange faces greet me as l pass along.
Those who left so gladly, ere the dew
Was brushed from budding hopes of roseate
bloom,
Lie low, where droop the cypress and the
yew.
And they, my kindred, spared as yet the
tomb
Are not the same; ties erstwhile close I'M
strong
Are severed, and my spirit tastes of gloom.
This is my coming home? Alas! alas!
Home is not home bereft of love and friends.
Its walls frown strangely OH me as 1 pass,
Old landmarks persisted are; the very air
Lacks n familiar SAVIOR; meath the grass
In yon church yard lies all my heart, now
dare
Enfold in thoughts of home. Thus fail life's
ends!
Thus perish dreams of joyi Thus dawns
despair
