There is Nothing More Exasperating

at the table than to get hold of tough piece of steak; there Is nothing about which people are so particular as to eatahles that so on their tables. Con- sequently, if a butcher desires to retain your patronage, too much precaution cannot be used in filling your orders, as a customer neglected is a custo= mer lost
 When you send orders for fish, oys- ters, meats. etc, to Norton & Ru- duIph, No. and 8 Monroe Street, you don't get this kind of steak; they only keep the best. They stake their reputation on their steak"
 Sine their new departure in this line the hourly call is something like this: Hello! is that Norton & Rudulph? Yes, sir. We'll I noticed in last Sundays s Advertiser that you had made the val uable addition of a meat department to your concern, under the supervision of a first-class butcher? That's right. Alright, then, in view of the satisfac- tory manner with which you have f1ll- ed my orders in the past, l shall be pleased to have you serve me with meats in the future also.

 Temporarily Abandoned.

ToWer Gavo OuC ana Car service
 Temporarily Abandoned.
 The usual proceedings of the Street Car Company were somewhat late in coming off yesterday. as 1t was nearly o'clock last night before the stoppage commenced. The day before the performance com menced at a. m. Last night, though, the entire city was.inconvenienced. as all the cars failed to run between the hours of o'clock and 10 o'clock. Something was wrong with the current and the lights went out and all the cars stopped. The motormen and conductors ourled up on the seats and made themselves comfort able Saturday night Is always a busy night and pedestrians were anxious to get home. but there were no cars running.
 Like some derelict appearing in the gloom were the rattle-traps last night for over an hour. Finally the current was turned on, the motormen and conductors woke from their peaceful slumbers and the cars started forth on their journey.

Clothes Show at a glance whether a man is neat or untidy, careful or care less, methodical or shiftless, and what sort of taste he has. Nothing else about him reflects So much of his per- sonal characteristic. It behooves him, therefore, to employ Holt's Dye Works to keep his clothes in order.

AURORA BOREALIs STUDIES


In September, 1898, an aurora bore
alis with an immense red stripe was
observed in a large part of northern
Germany. Herr Schaper, using the
data obtained at that time, has come
to certain conclusions in regard to it's
extent and height above the earth. The
visible how of light was observed at
six different places between Gottingen,
Hamburg and Warnemunde and from
those observations it has now been
calculated that it must have been at
least seventy kilometers above the
earth, and have extended from Liver
pool to Libau, i'm Courland. A long red
band of rays seen simultaneously at
Lubbock and Hirschberg, in Slesia
reached an altitude of 500 Kilometres
and another $40 kilometers. The light
tlickered very much, and one part of
the rays moved at a rapidity of seven
~ kilOmeters a second. These results
agree with those which Flogel OBJ
tanned at Kiel thirty years ago by re-
peated Investigations of this pheno-
menon, He found that the rays of
large aurora borealis phenomena, seen
in northern Germany, must be at an
altitude of 100 kiometers above the
earth; that they often rise to a height
Of $50 kilometers, and that their points
glow with red light, The aurora bore
alis is, according to Flogel, a phenome-
