In the seclusion Of the house cloak

the house. Three hundred and fifty
six are hereby released from any con-

man-and the other mans wife--win
recognize the truth Of what is here re-
corded. The western member went
home at a very early hour In the
morning. He had, made a night OF it
with some friends. He knew that his
conduct would be considered, r%eprehen-,
sible by his better half. and So, q he
assembled the steps OF his modest home,
he racked his brain for some plan to
avert the lady'ss wrath. AS he. entered

A rroof of the Germ rhoory.

Fifty years ago the inhabitants of
Mentone Tin the south of France) and
neighborhood were a healthy, happy
race of splendid physique, to whom
consumption was absolutely unknown.
Then Mentone became the Mecca OF
the consumptive. The peasants left
their farms and their healthy lives to
wait on the wealthy invalids. Farm
ers' wives and daughters became wash
erwomen, constantly handling clothes
impregnated with the germs of con-
sumption. Thousands of consump-
tives died there, impregnating the soil
and the water with the germs of their
disease. AS a result, the earth, air
and water of Mentone are infested
with the tubercle bacillus. and the
once healthy peasantry are consump-
tives almost to a man and a woman.
No more complete or startling proof
Of the truth of the once derided germ
theory of disease could we'll be ina
gined than this.

CALLED HIM DOWN.,

But Ono Little Clrcumstapce made ~
. Waste Of Words.
Jones wal staying at home Tor a
davis rest, and Mrs. Jones thought she
might as we'll make him useful. I
wish YOU would go to the back door"
she said, land, If that's the grocer
knocking, 1 wish you'd tell him that
I've sent down for that soap three
times already, and If it doesn't come
today 1 shall go to the store myself
and complain" There's no use IN
wasting words, Mary" said Jones,
briskly. 81 know how to bring such
people to time. TIL attend to the man
so that you'll have no more trouble"
He went to the back door and con-
fronted the man with a pleasant but
firm expression on his countenance.
sNow look here!" he said with de-
cfsion. This thing has been going, on
long enough. Mrs. Jones can't anord
to await your pleasure in the matter
Of soap or anything else. This delay
has caused her much annoyance. and
It is entirely i~nexcusable on your part.
It isn't possible that an establishment
like the one for which you work
shouldn't be provided with soap
enough for all its customers. see
plainly that the fault lies with yous:
you've neglected to give the order.
Now, I've only m thing to say-if
oar trade isn't worth your employers
while, we'll go somewhere else. I'm a
man of few words! Unless the soap
comes this morning, Mrs. Jones will
order from Smith & Brown in the flu
ture." The man looked confused, but
said nothing, while Jones paused tor
breath. Come, come" said Jones.
"have you any excuse to offer-any
reason to give for your failure to bring
this soap?" II don't know as I have.
SIR" said the man slowly, except that
I'm the milkman, and I've come to
collect this little bill for the month
Of December"

Another : Light.


The complete triumph Of light over
darkness ultimately, in q physical
sense, seems to be an assured fact. II
the ingenuity Of inventors has It's per-
feet work. The latest device in this
line is that by N. Denayrouze, one of
the leading spirits in the introduction
and application Of the incandescent
gas and oil lighting systems now In
general use, who has lately explained
to the French Society Of. Civil Engi-
neers q system Of incandescent light
ing in which alcohol furnishes the
heating flame. While, o. is well
known, alcohol under a Welsbach
mantle produces a brilliant fame. It Is
not an economical one, but "a. Denay-
rouze's plan Is to chargesthe alcohol
with hydrocarbons, In solutions, to
such an extent that the carbon in the
flame and deposited ON the mantle
adds greatly to the light without caus-
ing any increased consumption Of a.
cohol. It is asserted that this sys-
TEN offers many advantages for porta-
BILE lighting plants. such as railway
carriages, etc.

OF its Endorsement by Eugene San
dow, to whom the inventor has as
signed his patent. This improvement
consists in the application of one or
more strings to the dumb-bell. SO as
to cause the same to require q firm
grip when held in the hand. This
cause is a continuous tension Of the
muscles of the arms, wrists. hands
and fingers when In use, greatly in
creasing the beneficial effect derived
from the use Of the Implements. For
this purpose the bell is made in two

Yukon telegraph lines cost about
$137, 600. The distance from Lake Ben
nett to Dawson is TAO miles. There
were no horses engaged in carrying. on
the work of construction, most Of the
carrying being done by scows on the
river. Four hundred dollars was taken
in for messages on the first evening
the lines were opened.
Recently the Philadelphia & Reading
road installed a novel method Of VEN
tilating several of the smoking cars. 1t
consists of three two-bladed vanes
suspended from the top Of the venttla-
tors and operated by q small motor &C.
tuated by wind created by the motion
of the train. The result is a continu-
GUS circulation of air. and the smoke
and bad air are taken out through the
ventilators. The fans may be dis
connected when desired.
There is a little insect found in New

To print the news in a series of act
ual photographs is the purpose of the
Stereo Revue of Paris, the latest and
most ingenious invention Of journal
ISM. The reporters are sent out arm
ed with cameras of the most approved
type, and they are present at all
events of even passing interest. The
cameras are adapted to take double or
stereopticon pictures, and on the re-
TURF Of them are developed and other
wise prepared, and from these a num-
Der of sets of double pictures on trans
parent films are printed on a single
roll, which constitutes one issue Of the
Stereo Revue. Every subscriber re-
ceives an apparatus for viewing these
pictures when he pays his first sub
scription, and each week he also re-
ceives an installment of the pictures.
