Cost of n London Fog.

A London fog is an expensive vista
ton. A day Of it. counting the day at
eight hours. is estimated to cost any
thing from 100000 to 100000 in hard
cash. No small proportion of this goes
to the gas and electric light companies,
which have to supply about a third
more power than usual. But there are
also the railways. Fog signaling is
expensive. At Chaplain Junction alone
ESQ has been spent by a single railway
company during a days fog III extra
pay to the plate layers. When the red
light cannot be seen at distance Of a
hundred yards, the plate layers become
fog signalers, and for this they are paid
shilling a day in addition to their
regular wages and fourpence per hour
overtime, providing the overtime does
not run into second shilling.-London

Mrs. Opie. the widow OF the great
portrait painter, whom some one has
called the INSPIRED peasant" never,
even in her old age, lost her love OF
bright colors. A little girl, Emma
Martin, afterward known in literature
as Emma Marshall. visited her one day
and experienced a rare pleasure. She
says:
ON screen in her drawing room
were hung a number of prisms, which
were suspended from chandeliers be-
fore the bell shaped globes came into
fashion. l sat on a stool at my moth
er's feet, wondering what those long
bits of glass could mean. Presently the
brilliant rays Of the western sunshine
filed the room.
Now" said Mrs. Opie, thou mayst
run over to that screen and give it a
shake"
/ did as I was hidden. "Be gentle"
said my mother in a warning voice,
but gave the screen vigorous shake.
Emerald. ruby and violet rays danced
on the walls and ceiling and delighted
me so intensely that | kept repeating
the process; then my mother, afraid of
mischief resulting came and drew me
back to her side Mrs. Opie looked at
me and said:
eff thou lowest bright colors, thee
will never see anything more beautiful
than the rainbow God sets in the sky"

THE BURGLARS BIBLE.
He Said Tint He Would Get 1t Back
Again, and He Did.

Senator John G. Spooner of Wiscon-
sin when n young man was attorney
for two men charged with stealing.
There had been taken from the men a
well worn Bible and n small drawer
On the fly leaf of the Bible was the in
scriptlon, ITO My Darling Boy, From
Mother"
The trial was held the next day and
the future senator made brilliant
speech to the jury. He exhibited the
Bible and pointed TO the inscription,
and without leaving their seats the
jury returned verdict of Not guilty"
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50.
Boys" said Mr. Spooner as they
were about to separate, Il am curious
TO know why you carry that Bible and
the empty drawer" Then the senator
listened with establishment to the his
tory Of his clients.

saw, land this old drawer has a secret
bottom, where we keep our tools"
The future senator confiscated the
Bible and the drawer.
One of the thieves shouted angrily,
We'll get those things back yet, you
mark my words!'
Several years passed, and then the
incident was brought back to Mr.
Spooner's recollection in the following
manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment. and no one
was left at the house. When they re-
turned at late hour, they found that
the house had been entered by bur-
glars and ransacked, but that nothing
apparently was missing. The next
days mail brought n letter which read:
Dear sir-Please excuse the way we came in
last night, but the door was locked We never
did think you treated square by swiping our
outfit, and so came back after it and found
you were not at home. We always keep our

There is only one sword factory in
the United States, a Massachusetts
concern, and that one has ample capac-
ity for supplying the domestic demand
for swords. The saber lost its efficiency
as a cavalry weapon as far back as the
war of the rebellion, and the increased
range of rifles has made the sword
equally obsolete as an implement OF
actual combat. 1t is about as danger

"This perennial joke about the love
Of women for bargains wearies me-"
said Il bright business woman the other
day. with most presumptuous supe-
riority men charge our sex with an ex-
travagant zeal for bargains, but | see
enough Of business men to assure me
that they are just as eager as women
are to get an article at few cents less
than the usual price.
"Mr. A is generally eXtravagant
in his personal expenditures, but he is
keen after bargains The other day he
came into our office wearing an air Of
great satisfaction, and his jubilation
had no other foundation than the dis
covery of a, street stand where sec
onds' in lead pencils were sold at
cents each.
If you know good pencil when
you see it, lie explained, you can rum
mage in the pile and pick out and 10
cent pencils at cents each or three
for 3.
And that reminds me Of another
bargain. You know the 10 cent cigars
/ smoke? Well, there is a little shop
down near the ferry where ycH can
get them four for a quarter. l just
heard Of the place and ran down there
at lunchtime and filed my pockets.
Great bargain.
"And would you believe it, that man,
whose transactions run into the mil
lions, went on telling my employer of
bargains in clothes, stationery. etc,
