HOW is THIS PLAN?


Lighting Plant.
TO the EditOr Of THe Tribune:
The excitement of the election being
practically over, it becomes the duty of
every citizen to look around and find out
wherein he can benefit and add to the
growth and success Of our city. there
fore desire to call the attention of my
fellow citizens to the question OF city
lighting and to the following:
THE Engineering News Of New York,
of Oct 3, gives an account of the electric
Light plaLt at Johrson, Vt. village of
600 people. The total outlay for the
plant Was 50 o. 0. The charge for IL
candle power inCandescent lights is: For
first light, 93 per year; for extra lights in
same room, - per year; for lights in bed
rooms, Il per year. A this price, after
paying all expenses, including interest in
Londs for the plant, the village, which
owns tho plant, has 60 street lamps of 30
candle power free, aud there was a net
profit paid into the local treasury last
year Of $i3l, From these figures one
can arrive Ut the cost OF a lamp. lt the
town had the bonds paid SO no interest
account would be- necessary, and the
town paid pro rata for its lights, the ac-
tual cos. Of furnishing a lG candle power
light Was less than 50 cents year"
Cannot the taxpayers of this city, by
some means, put in plant for their own
profit, and in order to bring this matter
down to business basis | have obtained
the following approximate figures as to
the cost Of putting up plant sufficient
for the needs of this city:

THE COLOR OF THE EYES.
Dark Eyes Said TO BE More General
Among Women Than Among Men.

Dark Eyes Said to BE More General
Among Women Than Among Men.
Into the realm of sentiment, with
heavy football, like bull in a china
shop or an elephant among porcelain.
the sedate and matter of fact statistician
obtrudes himself, intent On dealing,
through percentages, with matters
which one might tESnk would be cx-
empt from such prosic consideration.
The latest subjects of statistical inquiry
are light and dark eyes, and as the re-
suit of sundry responses to questions
propounded in various countries and
duly authenticated it has been discoy-
ered-and hot merely discovered, but
also proved-that, taking the average of
Europe and America, A. o Is the per-
centage of men having light eyes, in
cluding blue and gray. The proportion
of girls and women having blue or gray
eyes is by the same computation 34. 2
per cent In other words, blue eyes are
decidedly rarer amon& women than
among men, and it is for this reason
perhaps that blue eyes, especially in
combination with blond hair, are es-
teemed so highly as feature OF femi-
nine beauty.
Men have light eyes oftener than
women, but III the intermediate grade
of color between light and dark the
percentage of the two sexes Is very
nearly though not quite the same In
this intermediate category are brown
and hazel eyes-neither pure light nor
genuine black. The percentage OF these
among men is i3. and among women
45.l The percentage of dark. or, more
properly, black, eyes is larger among
women. being 20. per cent Of the whole
number, while among men 1t Is l2. j.
Perhaps it is the relative rarity of dark
eyes among men which establishes the
rule that dHk eyed men are esteemed
by women to be more fortunate in the
color Of their eyes than blne eyed men.
The figures upon which these percent
ages are based are the result Of in9oir-
les not prosecuted m one or more OF the
countries Of Europe or one or more
states of the United States, for, as is
well known, in southern European com
tries dark eyes both among men and
women predominant, while light eyes
are to be found in just as high proper
tion in northern countries. New York

THE CHILDREN'S TABLE.
Useful Suggestions For the Hygienic Diet
of Children.

Useful Suggestions For the HYGIENE Diet
of Children.
A few hint al 10 what not to give
to young childres may be helpful to
mothers, for children are creatures of
habit from earliest infancy. and if they
have formed habits of caring for cake
and sweets and refusing other food
whose fault is il; How many mothers
give a child slice of bread not only
thickly buttered but covered with lay
er of sugar or Jam besides? Was not the
bread good enough with either alone!
Such mothers when demonstrated with
answer, "Why, my child would not eat
bread and jam unless it were buttered
also.'' That habit was formed in the
child by the mother Even young chill
dren are very shrewd in dealing with
their elders and will soon discover their
weak points Perhaps when there are
callers the mother, to avoid scene,
gives piece of cake, and this is adroit-
" made use of TO secure like favor at
a subsequent time.
Young mothers, do not allow your
own ease and comfort at the moment TO
cause your child to form pernicious
habit, be it the candy habit or the cake
habit. Consistent firmness will spare
Won a world of trouble and annoyance.
Of course a piece of light spongecake
will not hurt a well child, bat let it be
given as rare treat Never give any
kind of pastry. You and your child will
be happier for it. Neither are rich pud-
dings and pudding sauces allowable.
Tea and coffee should not be given
under the age of 81. Old vegetables or
hearty fruits, such as bananas, should
not be given to children under 6.
A helpful book for mothers is "How
TO Feed Children," by Louise Hogan.
The following extracts may well ne
copied in large letters and hung IN the
kitchen or pantry whereysz children s
food is prepared.
''The amount of nutrition required
! IN every instance must be carefully con-
sidered. One of the most important rea-
sons for this is that energy must not be
wasted in getting rid of srpertiuous ma
| terial, as organic disease may result. \
little food thoroughly digested is far
better than much that is half digested.
Many Of the diseases to which children
are liable would disappear under strict
supervision Of hygiene and diet, espe-
cially the various intestinal disorders,
including many resultant throat, ca
tarrhal and nervous troubles. Nature
resents carelessness and is relentless III
her punishments. "
"A legal enactment i'll France pro-
hibits the giving of any form Of sohd
I food to infants under l wear of age
without authority of a prescription from
a qualified medical man. The employ
I ment of the rubber tube for nursing bot
/ ties is also forbidden, as it is almost I'M
/ possible to keep it clean. "
Left overs are decidedly not to be
used in the nursery, if for no other rea-
son than in many houses cooked and
/ uncooked foods of various kinds are kept
/ in uncovered dishes from day to day in
one common refrigerator or closet, alb
sorbing unwholesome germs from sur
roundings that, to say the least, are not
/ sanitary. "-American Kitchen Maga-

A PLUCKY CONJURER.

Volunteer Assistant.

volunteer Ae-isNAIi-
4 very pleasant anecdote is told of
Professor Anderson by Mr.. Arthur a
Beckett in his Green Room Recollec-
tions. He says the professor III his
great gun trick used to give one Of the
audience a rife, some powder and a
marked bullet. The marksman was
then requested TO load and prepare to
FIRE.
Thereupon the professor walked to
the end of the stage and invited the n
feman to shoot him. Then, after the
marksnan had fired, he used to produce
the marked bullet, insisting that he
had caught it on plate. On one occa-
zion a friend Of mine, who was an ad-
mirable amateur conjurer, offered him
self as an assistant. He took the gun
and the ammunition and duly loaded.
Ii was the custom OF the professor to
give the bullet a final tap with his
wand to see that it was rammed down
properly, and this final tap, have been
told, extracted the bullet. This my
friend knew, and when the professor
offered his assistance ne politely de-
elined. Anderson did not insist, bat
coolly walked to the end Of the stage
and called out, Now, sir. take good
aim at me and fire -
Ny friend hesitated, as he was well
aware that the gun he was holding was
really loaded Fire, sir, fiIer' cried
the professor.
Nv friend lowered the weapon, and,
saying he could not let 1t of, returned
it to Anderson, who Immediately, un-
de- pretense Of seeing whether 1t had
been properly loaded, extracted the bull
let Then he gave the gun TO some one
else. But before the rife was fired he
addressed the audience. Ladies and
gentlemen" said he, ''the person who
has Just resumed his seat knew my trick
and fUiled it If nc had fired, this prob
ably would have been my last appear
ance before you. But he hadn't suffi-
cient nerve to shoot me
When il dawned upon the house that
Anderson had risked his life rather than
confess himself beaten, the applause
was deafen.ng. Ny friend told me that
he felt rather small ard regretted his
penChant for practical joking.
