The parade of the Grand Army,

ment to US. We were not far from the
balcony where Gen. Grant reviewed
the troops and therefore saw all that
could be seen-a seemingly endless pro-
cession Of soldiers, cannon and brass
bands.
And how the people cheered! But 1t
puzzled us why the cheers were loudest
and longest for the most forlOrn. stain

derstood that the flags, too, were veter-

why.

he was riding, that there was enough

English Servants, Wages.

The rates of wages paid household
servants in England are very much less
than those paid in the United States.
and the service Is much better. Tit
official statistics show that the general
average of wages for all classes of do
nestle servants In London Is only $16.25
a year, or $685. a month. Good buffers
are paid as much as $3.50 a year. La
dies maids come next, and those who
have accomplishments get very nearly
the same wages. The official statistics
show that the average for all Of Lon
don is S121.75 a year. The average for
cooks is $1O7.75 a year; for housemaids,
sS1. %; nursemaids, $500, and laun-
dresses. S94.25. These averages are
drawn from many thousands individual
cases reported to the bureau Of labor
and statistics by the employment agen-
c.es in London, and may be regarded as
accurate, although they do not refer to
the highest class of servants, such as
are found in the houses of the nobiiity
and aristocracy.

you gave me when you stared for

"Well, Tippy barked up on the bank

Loses Interest Besides the Inquiry,
Did He Sell the DogI
They had not been on particularly
good terms since the man In the cor
ner house bought the dog. The man
who lived next door didn't think much
of dogs anyway-especially city logs
and he had not hesitated to say as
much on two Or three occasions. Con-
seQuently when he called aud suggest
ed TO the man In the corner house that
he would like to buy the dog 1t Occa-
stoned considerable surprise.
But l thought you didn't like tOss,'
said the man in the corner house.
II DON'T admitted the man who
lived next door.
And that you considered city dogs
a little bit worse than any other kind
persisted the man in the corner house.
"Quite right" returned the man who
lived next door.
and that In the line of city dogs you
regarded this one of mine is just Il
little the worst that cver came under
your notice..
Fright again. l don't mind saying,
now that you call my attention to it.
that your dog is the meanest, uglicsr

borhood awake at night. That's why

We'll, l won't SELL" announced The
man in the corner house decidedly. Il
know you now for just the kind Of n
man you are, and have too much re-
gard for the dog. Even II | didn't care
ANYTHING for him l wouldn't humiliate
aim by compelling him to acknowledge
such n man as you for a master. /
wouldn't be as cruel as that to any

"As you please" said the man who

than fair TOT make the offer to You

NEW WAY TO MAKE A TOWN.
Russia Is Building 1t First and Will
supply the Inhabitants Later.

Russia Is Building 1t First and Will
supply h Inhabitants Later.
An engineer and some workmen have
been busy for months near the Arctic
Ocean making a little town. They have
not bothered their heads about the in.
habitants, for the Russian Govern
ment will see to that. Instead Of a loi
of persons settling in the same place
and making a town, the town is being
built and the residents will come later.
The town has also been provided with
a name before anybody lives in it. Its
name is JekaterinOgrad, and the most
imposing thing about the town as yet
Is this name. There was nothing there
a year ago TO show that a white man
had ever seen the site, but now 1t Is
beginning to look something like n
town, needing only inhabitants to make
1t quite a gO-ahead place.
The town is In the Bay of Kola, near
the Arctic oas Of Russian Lapland.
n fiat and undressing region, in "A
large part Of which scarcely a shrub.
much less a tree, will grow.
In August last year the Russian Gov
eminent zen to the site of the proposed
town, which had already been selected,
a civil engineer named Olsen, whose
speciality is harb0r improvements, and
soon twenty men under his direction
were hard at work building a couple OF
piers out into the bay for the use of the
fishing craft, which will give the town
all Its Importance. Last winter fifty
wooden buildings were constructed ut
A~rchangelsk, on the other side Of the
White Sea. 1t is probable that the
work Is now going on of transporting
them to the coast Of the Arctic Ocean.
where they will be hammered together
and set up for the people who are going
to live in the new town, and as soon as
everything Is ready the town of Kola,
farther south, will be abandoned, ey-
erybody there will be transferred at
the expense of Russia, and Jekaterino-
grad will be all ready to begin business.
The thing that will make the town Is
the Arctic fisheries in the neighbOr-
hood, which employ about 1900 men
every summer. For the purposes of
these hardy toilers the new town is
much more conveniently situated than
Kola, and that is the eason why Kola
Is to be deserted and a new town has
sprung up nearer the sea.-New York

Two Images Through One Glass,

A certain wonderful mineral found
in Iceland possesses the strange prop
erty of producing two images Of a sim
gle object. On looking through it at a
pencil, for instance, you will see two
pencils, both of which will be clearly
defined. The mineral is translucent
and crystalline and goes by the name
of Iceland spar. The mine in which it
is found is located Oh the eastern coast
of Iceland and is controlled by the
Danish Government. The spar is ex-
ceedingly valuable, owing to Its many
uses in the sciences. particularly for
the manufacture of optical instruments
and for experiments in polarization. Ii
brings about $27 a pound IN the market.
and even at that price the dealers can
not supply the demand.
