Envelopes Passe.

Among the ultra fashionables of New York, the mucilaged envelope has suc- cumbed to sealing wax, waters, and folded paper. This necessitates writ ing on big sheet, and it also requires some deftness in the folding of the paper. Of course, the manufacturers are always ahead of the styles. and for that reason the daintiest little waf CTS can be found to match theaenvel- opes-for that is the strictly correct point to be observed about the fad.

SEVEN LADIES
Of One Family Arrested In Paris for
 K1eptomsnie.

K1eptomsnie.
 Dublin Saturday Herald: A detect i've on duty at the Louvre had his at tention called by one of the assistants to the extraordinary attitude of sew en ladies who wandered about from one counter to another without buying anything. After watching these ladies for some time, the detective called up g colleague, and the two together took all seven into custody. On being searched they were found to have se- creted stuffs and small objects of value under their dresses and were imme- diately marched off to the police com missary. That funetionary found to his amazement that the troup con- sisted of grandmother, three of her daughters and three granddaughters in comfortable circumstances. me old lady's husband and the husbands of her three daughters were immediately sent for (the youngest ladies of this interesting family are still unmarried), and declared themselves totally ignor- ant of the acts of their wives, who they said made frequent trips to Paris from their home in the suburbs, and often brought home many pretty things; but they assured the commis- sary that they (the husbands) had no notion that these had been come by otherwise than by the usual method of purchase. The commissaire, taking the social position of the "klepto- maniacs" into consideration, has al- lowed them their liberty upon heavy bail.

He Wanted to Know.

An elderly man, who looked to pos- Eess the virtue of long-suffering pa- tience under the most trying circum- stances, walked into the weather bu- reau on the top floor uf the Rialto building yesterday. He was very wet, but good-natured.
 Here I am, like fool, without an umbrella, he began. T thought that I'd come in and see if you could give me any consolation"
 My dear sir" replied Forecaster Connor, with a winning smile, 'I have no umbrellas to lend, nor have any"
 "Oh, didn't mean that" interrupt ed the other q just wanted to know how long this thing is going to keep up."
 What thing?"
 Why, the rain, of course"
 My dear sir, haven't the slightest idea of what you mean," returned the prophet in his most insinuating tones
 The old gentleman was puzzled. He looked about the room carefully and curiously.
 ISn LnlS the weather place
 Yes" replied the forecaster In a quick, businesslike way, 4and I'm the weather man. You asked me how much longer the rain would keep up. It isn't keeping up, and that's the trouble It's coming, and it's going to keep on coming down for some time yet. Every twenty-four hours of the p-eeeat moatb~has seen some precipi- tation, and May was a record break er'@ This is generally rainy season with us, sir. bat this, l admit, is triae above the ordinary"
 Well, I much obliged to you" said the old gentleman as he passed out. "I just thought would drop in and see what it all meant, and if some thing coud not be done about it. Geod-by. Kansas City Journal.

Irish Kieselghu

At a recent meeting of the Dublin Royal society paper was read by MT. Pollok on some large deposits of kieselghur which occur on the banks of the Bann, at the point where it emerges from Lough Neagh. Kiesel- ghur is used now for several industrial purposes, and although the deposit in question is apparently not suitable for making dynamite, yet it is of excep- tional purity and if found in quantity should soon find a market It is stated to be- in the highest degree probabl

Why Sheep Have " ol.

If you want to ask sheep where he got his wool and why, take a dog into a mountain pasture band, and if the sheep are afraid of the dog they will invariably run uphill, rather than down. You have your answer. The ancestors of the domestic sheep, like wild sheep of the present day, lived among high mountains and needed their woolly covering to protect them against the constant cold of high at mospheres. They chose the high and inhospitable region to live in because they found the fierce fesh-eating anil mals of the plains too strong for them. A proof of these facts is that wool grows on a sheep the year 'round.- Chicago News.

 ST EEL BEAMS
Neatly and Quickly Cut by the Use of
 Electricity.

Electricity.
 During the reconstruction of an of- fee building recently in Chicago an interesting use was made of the elec- tric current in cutting in two clus- ter of half a dozen heavy steel beams which 1t was necessary to remove. These beams were of the ordinary shape and 15 inches deep. Owing to the difficulty of getting at the beams at the places where they were to be cut, special saws would have been re- quired had the beams been cut in the ordinary way, and it was estimated that the work would take two men about twelve days time and cost about $100. Instead of doing the work with hack saws. a method was adopted such as scientific burglars invented for get ting into safe and vault doors of steel. A current of electricity was brought in from the electric lighting wires in the street to do the work. The posi- tive terminal wire was attached to the steel framework of the building, to which the beams were riveted, and the negative wire was attached to a carbon point one and a half inches in diameter, which was provided with wooden handle to enable the operator to direct it along the beams at the places where they were to be cut. An asbestos shield protected the operators body from the heat and black specta- cles protected his eyes. In twelve hours the beams were severed, with an expenditure of only about five-horse power in electric current, and the work was done by an ordinary work man.
