One Of the hired men, Swede, de-
sired to drive to the county-seat for pur-
poses Of his own. The old man loaned
horse and an unwashed buggy. It ap-
peared later that one of the purposes Of
the Swede was to get drunk.
After quelling some boisterous frolic Of
the farm-hands and boys in the garret,
the old man had that night gone peace
fully to sleep, when he was aroused by
clamoring at the kitchen door. He grabbed
his trousers, and they waved out behind
as he dashed forward. He could hear
the voice Of the Swede, screaming
and blubbering. He pushed the wooden
button, and, as the door flew open,
the Swede, maniac, stumbled
inward, chattering, weeping, still
screaming. ''De barn fire Fire !
Fire! De barn frel Firel Firel Firep'
There was a swift and indescribable
change in the old man. His face ceased
instantly to be face; it became mask "a
gray thing, with horror written about the
mouth and eyes. He hoarsely shouted at
the foot Of the little rickety stairs, and
Immediately, it seemed, there came down
an avalanche Of men. No one knew that
during this time the old lady had been
standing in her night-clothes at the bed
room door, yelling: whats tn mat
ter? What's tn matter? What's tn
matter?'
When they dashed toward the barn it
presented to their eyes its usual appear
ance, solemn, rather mystic in the black
night. The Swede's lantern was over
turned at point some yards in front of
the barns doors. It contained q wild
little conhagration Of its own, and even
in their excitement some Of those who
ran felt q gentle secondary vibration of
the thrifty part of their minds at sight OF
this overturned lantern Under ordinary
circumstances it would have been a
calamity

Niclxnaming at Westfeld, H., must
cease. The city council has so deter
mined, and has passed an ordinance
making such offense punishable by a
fine Of IS to stoO, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Westfeld is college town, and her
people can read Greek and Latin; they
know philosophy and are able to call
the stars by name, but at the same
time they understand the art of manu-
featuring and bestowing a nickname
that has some real Significance. Street
'guying" is also a favorite pastime OF
the street loafer. and many a country
swain who brings the lady of his
hearts desire TO town on Sunday to re-
fresh her with soda water and choco-
lates has learned to his sorrow that
the course of true love never did run
smooth" So obnoxious has this state
Of affairs become that at the last
meeting of the city council Alderman
Hemphill introduced an ordinance the
substance of which is as follows:
"Be it ordained that any person who
disturbs any inhabitant Of the village
Of Westfield by the use of annoying
niclsnames, jeering, guying, traducing
OF defaming, upon arrest and convic-
tion Of such parties they shall be
fined no less than IS nor 20 exceed
500"
1t is generally understood that this
ordinance Is not intended to prohibit
the use of endearing or pet names, but
many of the niclSnames now in vogue
will cease to be part of the city's vo-
cabulary. The law promises to bring
about a reformation.
The people of Westfe1d looked upon
the ordinance as sort of joke at
first, but the authorities declared their
purpose TO carry out the law a serious
one, and now all await the initial test
case with great interest. It is not
unlikely that the matter will finally
reach the higher courts
There has been striking diminu-
tion in the use of niclnames and in
the habit OF chatting since the ordi-
nance was passed.

STATE 10 OWN UTILITIES.
Canadian Government Proposes 60
Have Full Control OF Telegraph
and Telephone Lines.

According to authoritative an
nouncements, the government of Can
ada has decided TO nationalize the tele-
graphs and the telephones of the do
minion, says the Chautauquan. The
business elements are said 20 be near
ly unanimous IN support of this re-
form. The government counts on an
annual surplus Of some $1,000, ,OoO, and
its income is Increasing under the
usual prosperity of the country. It
has, therefore, become possible to
take the step contemplated for years,
but heretofore precluded by lack of
available funds. The government al
ready operates some small telegraph
lines, and not unsuccessfully. The
telephones, If taken over at the same
time as the telegraph, will be placed
in the hands of the respective munic-
ipalities to be managed by them. It
Is hardly necessary to- add that the
employees of the companies are anx-
ious to become the servants of the
state, knowing, as they do, that from
the government they would secure bet
ter terms and greater consideration.
Canada is only following the exam
pie of Great Britain in this respect.
The telegraph was nationalized in
England about 80 years ago, and while
there have been complaints Of ineffi-
eiency, red tape and lack of progress
sive spirit on the part Of the post office
department, which controls, it, there Is
no agitation In favor of a return to
operation by private companies.

TOOK A GIANT PHOTOGRAPH.
Plate, Said TO be Largest Ever Made,
Used at the Metropolitan
Museum.

An object that attracted consider
able attention at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, says the New York Sun,
was a camera about four feet wide
and five feet high that stood all day
in front of painting in the Wolfe
gallery.
It required the united efforts of
three men to focus the instrument.
The operator said that'th plates used
were the largest ever made, and that
II he should fail to give the proper ex-
posure, IL would cost his firm $2s.
The time required to get a good pho
tOgraph of the painting was three
hours and a quarter. Three gallons
of developer and four of hyPosulphite
of soda were used to fix the plate.
When asked why so long an expos
ure was necessary the operator said
that TO get fun detail and color value
yellow screen Of glass, coated with
gelatine, dyed with picrie acid, was
fixed in front of the lens. This scyeen
changed the picture that passed
through the objective to a yellow color
and softened the high lights Of the
painting to such an extent that the
dark shadows gave up their detail juat
as rapidly as the bright places. The
plate was prepared with blue myrtle
chlorophyl In the emulsion, and this
decreased its regular sensitiveness at
least 80 per cent.
Only one painting was Photographed
during the day.
