Juvenile Jokes.

to little fellow, aged 6. Il hear you
are going to school now" "Yes, sir,
was the reply. And what part of 1t
do you like best?" asked the good man.
Comm home" was the prompt and
truthful answer
Harry, aged 5, had his photograph
taken recently, and when the proof was
sent home his mamma said he looked
too solemn and asked him why he
didn't smile. 81 did smile, mamma, /"

Mamma" asked little Willie. did
Daniel Webster build the dictionary ?"
No, dear; it was Noah; but why do
you ask?" said his mother. why"
replied the youngster, "our teacher said
that Noah built the ark, and thought
he might have got Daniel to build the
dictionary for him II he was busy"
Tommy, aged 5, and his cousin Will
lie, aged 6. had several little alterca-
tions, in which Tommy invariably got
the worst of it. One day his mamma
said to him: Tommy, tomorrow is
Willie's birthday; wouldn't you like
to give him something" you just
better believe would" was the reply;
but, you see, he's bigger than / am
and can't"
Little 5-year-old Clara's papa had
been away on a protracted business trip
and her mamma was putting things in
order and making sundry preparations
for his return. Clara watched her
closely for awhile and then observed:
Mamma, you make as much fuss as
old Mr.. Prodigal." What do you
mean, dear?" asked her mother.

yes, you did, mamma" was the reply.
Don't you know the bible tells about
what fuss he made when his son

RENTS ITS ELECTRIC MOTORS.
Remunerative Experiment. Conducted by
City of Bradford, ENGLAND.

experiment conducted by
City of Bradford. England.
One obstacle to the more rapid adop-
tion Of electric power. especially in
the case Of small users everywhere, is
undoubtedly the want of capital to
purchase the necessary motor; but
where the power to purchase exists the
buyer often has little or no experience
with electrical matters to guide him in
his purchase, and II his means are linn
tied he will naturally be tempted to
venture on cheap line with probably
unsatisfactory results. A solution of
these difficulties, which has been ap-
piled with excellent results at Brad
ford, England is the purchase of good,
reliable motors, and Offering them for
hire by the owners of the electricity
supply undertakings, who, in this in
stance, are the municipality itself. Ac-
cording to figures prepared by Alfred
H. Gibbings. the city electrical engin-
eer OF Bradford, they have found there
that rental charge Of 10 per cent
upon the initial cost of each motor was
amply sufficient to yield acceptable re-
turns, this charge being made up of 8
per cent for interest, 8 per cent for
sinking fund, and per cent for de-.
probation and contingent expenses.
The Bradford corporation inaugu-
rated their scheme of hiring-in which,
by the way, arc lamps also are included
on similar terms-in November, 1896,
and up to October of this year had sup
piled ninety-eight motors to consum-
ers. The increase in electricity sup
piled for motive power in 1896, with
only two months of the hire system in
force. over that supplied in 1895, was
little over $4,000 Board of Trade
units; in 1897 the increased sale over
1896 was $1,000 units, and for 1898
the increase over 1897 will probably
be nearly $4,000 units, representing a
more than so per cent increase. These
figures show very strikingly to what
extent the facilities offered by the
Bradford corporation are appreciated
Hitherto the supply has been con-
fined to small-power uses, such as for
cranes, hoists, fans, pumping and SIM
liar purposes. More recently, how
ever, applications for motor service
nave come from large spinning and
weaving firm, several foundries where
blowers are to be driven, sawmlll re-
curing about twenty horsepower, and
an engineering shop requiring about
nifty horsepower, all of which indi-
Gates growing and gratifying conf
dence in electric power.

l'nper linth KohaA.

Bath robes made of paper are now
manufactured, and their use is becom-
ing quite a fad. The kind of material
used resembles blotting paper. 1t
quickly dries the body, and as the pa
per is bad heat conductor the much
dreaded cold after the bath can be
avoided. Whole suits are made of this
paper stun, including coverings for the
head and feet. One advantage Of the
fad is the cheapness of such gar
ment. making 1t possible for the poor
est person to own one.

CHAPTER XIV.

Without vouchsafing reply, I seized
my portmanteau, and flung it into the
dog-cart waiting to take me to the
station.
The next evening, worn out with
suspense and anxiety. sighted the old
farmhouse on the hill.
Mrs. Casey was i'll in bed, Mike in
formed me, and could not see any one,
no matter how urgent or important
their business. She knew nothing
whatever of my wife, or heard from
her since she took my name, or heard
from her within the last three months.
She begged me to go away and let her
leave this world in peace. She wished
to be troubled no more with the af-
fairs OF this world, and, If 1 insisted
on forcing myself into her presence.
would refuse to give me speech.
1 walked slowly away and stood on
the edge of the cliff staring out to sea,
wondering whittier to turn. what to do
next, when old Molly touched my ell
bow, and, turning to her, hope and re-
lief llghtened me in a flash.
Molly. you bring me news. She is
with you," l began eagerly. and then
stopped short as she mournfully shook
her head.
NO" she said, taking the pipe from
her mouth, Il bring We no news.
only heard half an hour ago what had
happened. And the 'ould wan wouldn't
see ye, wouldn't she? 1 was after
thinkin' she wouldn't"
"You know nothing; you cannot
help me?" l repeated blankly. "Oh,
don't say that!"
Nothing, my lad-nothing. She
hasn't been here, an l don't think
she'll come now, poor little thing; ye
began to ill-use her soon enough.
Heaven knows! Well, we'll, I'm not
surprised. l thought it would all end
that way; but not so soon-oh, not so
cruel soonH she repeated, with harsh
laugh. "Ye might have spared her for
wan year at the laist, for she loved
ye true"
Molly" l cried vehemently, "you--
you don't understand. Listen to me!
II tell you would give every farth-
ing 1 possess, my life itself, to find her
now safe and we'll and-and teach her
to forgive me! Do not judge me so
harshly; but help me, help me, for
there's not moment to be lost!"
"I'll help ye as well as l can." she
said, after a searching glance, "for
see ye're sorry, but I'm feard my help
won't go far. Sit down beside me, an
I'll tell ye her mothers story to begin

"Ay. When she was four days old

SPORTSMEN'S FINDS.
Rabbit Chase Which Leads to Unexpect-
ed Good Fortune.

ed Good Fortune.
We have all heard of the good young
man who, because he was good, one
day found a purse containing $4,000
600 in gold and who was thus enabled
to marry the daughter of the rich
candy woman, whom he had long
adored, says Forest and Stream.
Somewhat in this line are a couple of
shooting stories which appear in the
daily press this week and which show
how good thing 1t is to be a true
sportsman. In one case a hunter was
chasing rabbit, which took refuge
In hole in stone wall. The hunter
reached his hand into the hole, after
the rabbit, but drew forth instead of
the game long-lost marriage certifi-
cate, which had by reason of its abb
sence caused for some years a distinct
family disturbance. In another case
poor but honest sportsman was out
squirrel hunting. He shot and wound
ed squirrel and in return for his
Kindness the squirrel ran into a hol-
low tree. Reaching down into the
hollow, the sportsman pulled out a box
fuIl of gold coin of ancient date but
of much intrinsic value. There are
many of us who have hunted for many
years and have never found either a
marriage certificate or box of gold.
but we should not be discouraged; If
we are good We shall perhaps some
day be rewarded by some such dis
covery.

English on the Continent,

A correspondent notes the growth
of the use of English on the continent.
Wherever he went he was able to con-
verse with statesmen and diplomatists
in his native tongue. He found that
as a rule the governing classes in Eu-
rope would understand and speak Eng
lish. In the Russian royal family es-
pecially English is the familiar Ian
guage of conversation. The czar, for
instance, invariably speaks English to
the czarina and his little daughters.

BRAVE PHILADELPHIA BELL.
Seasons Debutante Who Can Fight as
Well as Dance,

-"
Well as Dance,
Miss Minnie Fell is one of the most
exclusive debutantes of the austerely
exclusive set of prim Philadelphia
this season. She is a cousin of the
Drexel brothers, and connected by
family ties with almost everyone of
note in the metropolis of Pennsylvania.
But Miss Fell is not only a society
girl, but an athlete as we'll, and If she
makes as good run for the honors
of belledom as she made last week
in the athletic world she ough to be
leader by the time the Lenten bells
ring. All her friends around town are
congratulating her on her courage and
presence of mind when she recently
captured burglar in broad daylight
on Broad street. She and Miss Pauline
Blddle had just left the box office of
a theater. where they had been pur-
chasing tickets, when q burly negro
grabbed Miss Fell's pocketbook and
was off with rush. But Miss Fell
was "rusher" too. She pursued him
down Broad street to SAMSON and
around the corners, until at Twelfth
and Walnut she overhauled him, and,
grabbing his coattails, hung on and
screamed until policeman came to
her assistance. Owing to her desire
not to have the affair made public she
did not appear against the footpad,
who only got ninety days in conse-
auence; but such an escapade as that
was hound to come out and now all
the town is talking about it.
