THE NEW GAS METER.
The Penny in the-Slot Machine is Filling
Il Public Want

The Penny in the-Slot Machine is Filling
Il Public Want.
The penny-in. the slot gas meters have
not yet reached New York, but they have
spread within the last three or four years
throughout London, and have found
their way into every large city III Eng
land. The reports of meetings of gas
companies and Of corporations owning
gas works that ;tre published there from
day to day show that the demand for
them continues almost undated. Dur
ing the past year alone one London gas
company has sent out more than 30, 600
of these meters. A few months ago the
demand was so very great, and the
meter-makers so little able TO meet it,
that the company had to discontinue sup
plies for while. Now the demand is as
great as ever. Another London COM
pany-the South Metropolitan-has sent
out during the past four years no less
than 80, 900 of this class of meter.
In Manchester the penny-in the slot
meters are being sent out ut the rate of
from 500 to 1000 Il month, and in Liver
pool, Birmingham and other Northern
cities the demand is equally great.
These machines, which is really a boon
to small householders, and q correspond
ing trial to small dealers in wood and coal
and burning oil, are now being made
proof against humane guile The gas
companies, through long experience, have
become wary indeed. In the new meters
French pennies will no longer work the
oracle. The penny which used to be at
tached to n string and withdrawn when
value had been received. is now iIrevoc-

TURNING THE TABLES.
Wanted Her Husbands Opinion About
Trivial Points of Dress.


A certain uptown Clevelander is the
happy possessor of u marital interest in
very pretty and ccomplished lady, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. She is fond
of nice clothes and always looks well
dressed, and her husband is Just us proud
of her rs he should be. But from a tech
meal point of view he knows knothing
whatever about her garments, and it
bothers him greatly when she assumes
that he does. She fires broadsides of
questions at him whenever she is dressing
to accompany him. George, how does
my skirt hang?' "If it is too long in
'front.'" "Does my belt cover the pins?'
"Do you think this gown is becoming!"
SIS my collar down ut the back?" care
there any wrinkles in this .waists' SIS
my hat on straight" These and hun
dred other interrogations are fired Mt him
at short intervals. If he doesn't pay close
attention she gets cross. So he presends
to listen carefully and answers glibly,
although always Mt random.
The other day a neat way of getting
even dawned upon him. When he was
dressing that night for party he sud-
denly called his wife from an adjoining
room.
"Alma," he said, edo your think these
new trousers hang just as gracefully as
they should?'
"Why, George" she said, ''T don't
know anything about it. Why do you
bother me?n
''Iold on said George, 81 was won
dering if this shirt bosom sits quite
right"
''Of course it does" snapped Alma
"And these shocs-do you really think
they are becoming to my compleXionY"
"What silly question"
"And-hold on, Alma-isn't the coat
Il little long in the tails-on one side,
mean-and can't you pin it up?'
"Why, George, l never heard you talk
such nonsense. You haven't been drink
ing, have your"
''And-just wait minute, Alma" He
raised his silk hat from the dresser and
slapped it on the back of his head.
"Now, dear, please pay attention. Is my
hat on straight?n
Then she understood his wicked little
game.
They walked together in silence until
they came within sight of their destna-
ton, and the deeply wounded Alma
managed to stammer:
"Well, Gorge, you mean old thing, is
my hat really and truely OH straight
Whereat both laughed.

HINDoo CATHOLICS.
A Remarkable Sect Recently Recognized
by the Bishop of Rome.

In Iindoostan, on the coast of Mala-
bar, says telegram from Rome to the
Pail Mall Gazette, there is Catholic
community OF natives who are supposed
to have originally come from Chaldea,
and who have, in fact. conserved, with
few changes, the Chaldean liturgy. They
amount to about $50 900 people, and
although forming n detached branch of
the Oriental churches, they were, up to
the present, dependent with regard to
the hierarchy on the two apostolic Wears
of Latin rite existing here. About six
months ago they addressed n petition to
the Vatican, asking independence from
the Latin, and to have jurisdiction of
their own, with bishops of their rite s'and
nationality. Informed of this step the
Chaldean patriarch addressed also Il petit
ton to the holy see in order to have the
community under his jurisdiction; but,
after long consideration by the propo-
ganda, Cardinal Ledochowski Thought
that it was not prudent to attach the
Chaldeans of Hindoostan to the patri-
archaic of the same rite which is Mt
present i'll Turkey and governs only So
600 of the faithful. Leo XIII, anxious
as he is to augment as much as possible
the autonomy of the Oriental Catholic
community respecting their usages and
rites, interviewed in the matter, and finding
the petition of the Malabar Catholics in
perfect concord with the movement he
has inaugurated, seems to have decided
to constitute the Hindoostan Catholics i'm
new community, having special
patriarch of their own and their own
bishops.
