Small BurSlaries.

Before daylight Saturday morning,
presumably between 2 and 4 o'clock,
the Queen streets establishments of L.
B. Kerr, Jas. F. Morgan and Allen &
were visited by burglars. In
each instance entrance was effected
through a window and by use of a
chiseI. The only plumber was secured
at Morgan's, from which place seven
low grade watches were taken. In
Allen & Robinson, Paul MuhIendorfs
desk was pried open, but no money
had been left in it. Detective KAPPA
is looking for the raiders.

origin of the Cake Walk.

The cake walk proper had its origin
among the French negroes OF the south.
more than century ago. There is little
doubt that it is an offshoot OF some one
Of the old French country dances. 1t
was found OF convenience to the pianta-
ton negroes. They we're not welded by
license, and it was seldom that the SER
vices OF preacher were called In. At a
cake walk a man might legitimately
show his preference for a woman and
thus publicly claim his wife. So this fes-
tival became 10 some sense a wooing
and this explains its popularity with the
blacks. Cake walking has improved. 1t
has become a pantomimic dance, and
properly performed it is a beautiful one.
"Bily" McClain. comedian, has the repu-
tatiOn OF putting on the greatest cake
walks and his present efforts cannot be

est America" which will be seen on Fri
day evening, June 3, at the Armory

Electricity.

1t has been said that If man thoroughly
comprehended the powers and possibilities
of electricity he might almost hope to be-
come immortal. Electricity gathers, forms
and crystallizes the elements of life, while
it also furnishes the material upon which
much of our life depends. II can be used
to destroy disease germs and remove inju-
rious ingredients of all Sorts Among it's
varied uses is that of cleansing or clarity
ing the strip prepared for sugar making.
A certain voltage evaporates the water in
the strip and clears 1t better than any
known chemical substance. Passing an
electric current through solution Of salt
forms caustic soda and muriatic acid.
Electricity is more powerful agent in
separating chemical elements than any
now in use and has the additional advan-
tage of not introducing new compound In
the work. Heat from an electric furnace
surpasses that obtained from coal 1t is
clean, manageable and will some day be
so economical that 1t will supersede all
other means of heating. AS an illuminat-
ing agent it is successful beyond the wild
est dreams of its inventors. Electricity
enters into almost all of the processes of
human existence. 1t is scarcely too much
to say that our heating lighting, trans
portation, chemical laboratories and food
products will within few years be entire
ly revolutionized by this new power

The Language Of Animals.

cit Just occurs to me-" said Mr.. Glim-
by, "that the language of animals depends
not upon where they were born, but upor
their kind. All of kind speak In the
same tongue, no matter where they come
from. Thus, strolling down n South
street wharf tho other day, as ! love to
do to look at the ships. was barked at as
I passed by a dog standing on the deck of
Norwegian ship. And this dog did not
bark ut me in Norwegian, but In It's own
universal dog language. which ! could
readily understand.
"And It was certainly an agreeable
sound. 1t brought the far north country
near and made 1t seem homelike Ii made
the whole world home, for 1t brought to
mind the fact that nature and the lower
animals speak to us In familiar tones ov-
erywhere 1t Is only the tongue of man
that Is confused. New York Sun.

Mr.. j. A. DandDard OF Lake Linden,
visited on Portage Lake yesterday.
PunCtured.

A young woman in Detroit, while en-
joying bicycle ride on Belle Isle, was
much annoyed by "masher" on a wheel,
who persisted in attempting to engage her
in conversation. Slackening her speed
sho suddenly dismounted, and, leaning
over her wheel, began to examine one of
the IcdGls. He was off his machine in an
instant. "Allow me to assist you" said
he She said nothing, but releasing her
wheel to him took his to hold, while he
went down on his knees to the offending
pedal. He was no sooner on his marrows,
with his face to the ground than she def
ly extracted hatpin and inserted the
point into the rear tire of his wheel. BY
the time he lad discovered there was abso-
lutely nothing wrong with the pedal and
that 1t was working as smoothly as me-
chanical skill and bicycle oil could make
it the hatpin was resting inoffensively In
its proper place. AS she whirled merrily
out the avenue would be masher stood
by his bicycle with a tire as fat as the pro

Genius and Soap.

There was sign nailed to tho door of
the business office which attracted general
attention, and yet at "a casual glance there
did not appear to be anything remarkable
about 1t. 1t simply said
WANTED "A good business poet

"The sign is all right" explained the
manager. 1--WE want just what It says
"a good business poet'-none of your gen
fuses, but n fellow with grit and get up
in his composition.
"And what do you want with bim?" he
was asked.
"A good DEAL" replied tho manager
"We'ro manufacturing IA new brand of
soap, and to compete with others we've
got to have poetical advertisements that
will catch tho public ear. The last poet
we employed was a dreamer and wrote
odes to our soap which were too classic TO

breezy, catchy couplets like this:
