SANITARY DISTRICT.
Proposition Showed Under at Oak
Park Election.

TIL election to decide whether or not
Oak Park should be made into a San
itary District took place yesterday. The
battle has been bitterly waged, the OPP
position being very active, and it was
expected that the contest would be a
close one, but the 'tantis" carried the
election by more than two to one, the
vote being 15S against to So for the
proposition. A number of Trustees
and an Assessor were voted for, but as
the proposition failed to carry, they
will not be compelled to serve.
During the day a petition for free
postal delivery was circulated and
nearly all the voters signed it.

Househ old Hints.

Wives are often blamed for telling
their husbands all the secrets reposed
in them, but there would be much less
matrimonial difficulties if there were
more such condolences.
In the Japanese shops there are now
to be had sheets of silk embroidery in
various floral and conventional designs
in black and several dark colorings
These are easily transferred to silk or
cloth fabrics which are to be used for
decorative purposes. The designs may
be applied with a paste or preferably
put on with concealed stitches fine silk
of the same shade as the design being
used.
Doors which are at times an eyesore,
but which are necessary for practical
reasons, can be made very ornamental
by placing on them designs of rope
work, and in this way made to har-
monize with other decorations By
using painted instead of gilded cord
the boldest designs are possible on per-
fectly plain painted surfaces which
would be otherwise exceedingly un-
manageable. but if not applied with
both skill and artistic judgment the
best designs will be utterly spoiled.
A satisfactory way of giving a child
sugar on its oatmeal is to sprinkle it
lightly over each spoonful, using
large salt shaker. If care is given in
the shaking only little more than
tablespoonful will be required for IN
entire saucer of the cereal.
When cooking onions, set a little
dish of vinegar on the stove where it
will boil slowly, and there will be no

High Buildings of Olden Rome.

The extreme height and overhang-
were a source of danger to the citizens
in more ways than one. There were
many important thoroughfares in
Rome that were always in the shade;
only at high noon did a streak of sun
light lind its way between the build
ings to the pavement. The streets
were thus always damp, for although
Rome was severed and there was a
penalty against throwing slops into
the street, the city was none too clean,
and there were frequent humorous al
lusions, among the poets and writer's
of odds and ends, to the misfortunes
sustained by pedestrians, who, while
passing along the street, were deluged
by buckets of slops carelessly thrown
from upper windows. Pliny mentions
wedding which ended in riot on
account of the leading participants be-
ing thus besprinkled with filth-not of
design, but through the carelessness
of a housewife. There was another
danger hardly less serious. Queer as
1t may seem to us in these days of gas
anu ciOSeiiSieyb tuc VI d city
which certainly contained 1000, 900 and
may have had 100000 of population,
were at night in the darkness of Egypt.
Such a state of things presented sin
gular facilities for the operations of
footpads and highwaymen, and the
frequency with which their operations
were attended by murder is shown by
the numerous epitaphs that have been
discovered intimating that he whose
ashes lay beneath was killed by rob-
bers. Every householder. every tenant
in tenement house, had to look after
his own security, and accordingly the
doors of residences at dark were bar
red, every window was secured by a
strong iron lattice, and in tenement
houses the street doors were fastened
and common fund, raised by the ten
ants. was provided to secure the serv-
ices of a watchman to look after the
building. In the tenement structures
which had respectable class of ten
ants the watchman went his rounds
through the building at regular inter-
walls, but in the better class of houses
there were generally two or more
watchmen, and the one at the front
door was chained so that he at least
would give proper attention to busi-
ness through the night.

Danger In pome,tlc FIlters.


Persons who rely upon domestic FL
ters to purify water for household use
will be interested to learn that, on the
authority of the State Board of Health
OF Maryland, such filters may steadily
lose efficiency until they become first
rate culture beds for bacteria, says The
Sanitarium. An example cited Is that
In the case of man in Baltimore who
sends the whole water supply of his
house through a large filter, and sub
sequently puts his drinking water
through one of the small domestic nj
tiers common in the market. A test
showed that, on a day when the city
taps were running $40 bacteria to the
cubic centimeter, the large filter was
delivering $500 bacteria in the same
quantity of water. When the large FL
ter was placed, only nine bacteria per
centimeter got through it, but this
same water, when passed through the
small filter, came out with II bac-
terra per centimeter. A further exam
pie cited is from the office of the Bal
timore Health Department, where
filter, supposed to be the best in the
market, was in use. The effectiveness
of that filter was so short-lived that
the precaution was observed of boil
ing the water after it was filtered.

Coal Dust Firing.

Fine dust of coal or of -four mixed
with air forms an explosive agent
which has been the cause of many
mine and fiour-mill disaster. Advan-
tage is taken of this property of COM
bustible dust in new process of boil
er-firing. The fuel reduced to dust is
fed by machinery into the furnace, In
which fire must constantly be main
tained. The instant the dust falls into
the furnace chamber it burns with a
flash, almost explosively, and the pro-
duction of smoke is absolutely pre-
vented and the firing becomes econom-
ical as regards consumption of fuel 1t
would seem that it might lead to the
utilization of the enormous mountains
of coal slack which cover so many
square miles of land in the mining
districts.

tom. When the floating buoy yields to
the action of the sea or of the winds
the cable becomes taut, as shown in
the dotted lines. In Fig. l the sub
merged buoy is shown holding up the
blight of the moorings of sunken
buoy. A cable supported in this man
ner may be readily grappled and the
sunken buoy recovered. Without the
use of the submerged buoy graphing
on rocky bottoms would be difficult,
perhaps impossible. Fig. 3 shows a
vessel riding out gale on lee shore.
The buoy in this case is attached by
one end to the anchor chain, so that
when dragged under the surface of the
water 1t will form an effective sea
anchor in addition to the anchor at the
bottom.

An Interestinr Room.

If you want a pretty room without
expense to yourself, try the expert
ment of decorating your walls with
the pictures cut from the newspapers.
Every day there are interesting scenes
from foreign lands. wonderful ships
and beautiful ladies. Cut them ont
carefully and mount on squares of
rough gray paper. Without framing
these, tack them upon the walls in
irregular designs until nearly the
whole of the wall is covered. You
Will be amazed to see how pretty and
attractive your room is. A young lady
who decorated her room at a summer
resort in this way was delighted with
the results. Her only complaint was
that her friends looked at the pictures
instead of visiting with her.

Economy of the Chlnese.

The spirit of economy in the Chinese
race transcends all that can be imag-
ined. The smallest particle of matter
is utilized. The old cast-off account
book of the merchant is cut into pieces
and oiled to serve instead of glass in
windows or lanterns. A coolie who has
a six-hours march with heavy burden
will return to his point of departure
without having broken his fast, in
order to save the two cents his break
fast would have cost away from home.
Nothing is more curious than to see
them eat, although with their famous
chopsticks they do not perform all
the wonderful feats generally suppos-
ed. Everything is served them in
bowls or saucers, and with the chop
sticks they raise the pieces of meat or
fish to the mouth, with sufficient grace.
Each one has bowl of rice, which
he holds near his lips. and with the
aid of the chopsticks he pushes the con-
tents into his mouth. 1t is very curl
Gus to see them pick up with their
chopsticks the grains or rice that fall
on the ground. The children are
taught this art from their earliest
years; nothing must be lost, not even
the smallest grain. What remains of
the repast is put carefully away to be
served at another meal. Their dogs
and cats are not over-fed. as the scraps
from the table are rare.

A New York journal has interviewed
members of congress on the current re-
port that au effort would be made at
the approaching session to repeal or to
amend what is known as the Sherman
antitrust law. The replies, as far as
received, indicate no intention upon
the part of the lawmakers to repeal
the Sherman law or to offer any
amendment thereto in the interests of
trusts; the expressed purpose is, if any
changes are made, to render the law
stronger. One trouble in this country
in the states, in the nation and in all
the cities is an accumulation of laws
covering pretty much every subject un-
der the sun, passed readily, almost un
thinkingly, to become instantly dead
letters. There is no need for new
laws. There is grave and urgent need
for the execution of the laws upon the
statute book.

The Becomingness of Tulle.

Any woman, say the wisacres, looks
lne better for wearing white or cream
tulle next her face, and acting ON this
suggestion every woman who studies
her appearance wears tulle stock and
big tulle bow under her chin. Some
of them button up their black, brown or
dark-green walking coats to not only a
tulle collar, but small tulle dickey
that spreads down below the bow. They
get this by means of the same crisp
charm of linen, with none of its harsh
ness, for in cold weather linen is
cruel trial to the tender flesh of femi-
nine throats. Tulle bows and stocks
are not after all so fragile as they
sound, and not woman that wears
them but adds something to her looks
by their aid. The newest ribbon collar
is without a bow, but has a jeweled
clasp instead. 1t winds twice around
the neck and fastens in front, the two
parts of the clasp being sewed to the
ends of the ribbons. The clasps are
either of real jewels and precious
stones or clever and almost as service
able limitations.

The under part just inside the edge Is
covered with satin, ornamented with a
vine-worked brier stitch, and the
pointed buttonhole is used around the
outer side. A small, pointed pocket of
contrasting silk slightly fulled and
drawn across with an elastic, made
to hold a few papers of needles, Is
fastened within the lower half of the
book. The two parts are joined at the
point with small cord or tassel, and
piece of cord or baby ribbon is at
tached to each at the upper points Of
the heart. This ties the two hearts to-
gether when the pocket is closed.

To Protect Buoy Cables.

In the use of floating buoys it often
happens, says the Scientific American,
that changes in the wind and tide drag
the cable around on the bottom and it
is therefore shortened, thus impairing
its efficiency. To avoid this danger,
Charles Hutchins, superintendent of
lighthouses for Nova Scotia, has in
vented buoy which has been used for
year with gratifying results. The
buoy itself holds the cable off the bot
tom. The submerged buoy, as shown
in Fig 4, has a cylindrical body with
tapering ends adapted to receive the
cable. The body at one end is provided
with an outwardly flaring rigid skirt,
constituting a drag against the move
ment of the buoy through the water.
In Fig. 2 the submerged buoy is
shown interposed between the sections
of the cable of floating buoy. The
full lines in the figure indicate the po-
sition of the cables and buoys in calm
weather, the cable in this position be-
ing at all times held above the bot

In tho Past.


Far In the East a storm cloud rises.
While overhead the glad sun shines,
Anon is heard distant rumble,
Like mighty blasts from hidden mines.
Or, like the groans that issue from the
earth
Presages some volcanoes awful birth.
The silence. But on yon horizon
There still appears that murky cloud,
The suns rays strike but do not pierce
It,
AS out 1t stretches like a shroud.
A storm is coming" some vain rascal
cries,
Then goes on with his cheating and his
lies.
But when, indeed, that storm cloud rises
And breaks, its mighty course shall
roll
From heav'n to earth, from earth to
heaven
And sweep the world from pole to pole.
1t may not be until some future day,
What time 1t breaks no mortal man can
say!
So in your course, o Earth, roll onward.
For men heed not each passing cloud,
And canting hypocrites will flourish,
Till breaks the thunder long and loud.
o Mighty One! when those dread thun-
ders cease,
May we enjoy Thy everlasting peace.

for Christmas presents are in the shape
of Tyres and other musical instruments.
The strings of the instruments are

New Atrship.

Arcidas Farmer, a resident of Evans
vile, Ind, is a claimant for honors as
the inventor of an airship that will ac-
tually navigate the air. The top of his
ship will be cigar-shaped. The balloon
will be made of silk and filled with gas,
which will give buoyancy to carry the
necessary machinery to properly work
the ship, which will not weigh more
than 700 pounds. The motive power
to run the airship will be two small
gasoline engines of ten-horse power
each. They will be constructed on an
