At an inquest held recently in Prov.
idence, Il. l., it was learned that death
had resulted from touching an incan.
descent lamp which seemed to be out
of order. Experts testified that in
small towns whHe the current was
sent through a small wire the house
converter might become deranged,
when the wires would receive the en-.
tire 2,000-volt current, instead of the
104 volts intended for the house. This
is said not to be possible in the larger
rities, where q current of low voltage
is distributed by means of copper
cables. and converter is not neces-
sary.

The tipping habit was introduced d,
says Pittsburg exchange, first by
those who desired TO be ostentatious of
their wealth and to secure the most at
tention at hotels. Ithas been followed
because the public had not the stamina
to resist the example. There may be
. disposition to abolish it, but 1t is very
doubtful IL q custom so fixed In the

City Forester Lewis, of Philadelphia,
says: II know of no scientific reason
for it, but it is the inevitable result
that where a pine tree is cut down an
oak springs up in its place. These oaks
never attain any great size, remaining
in dwarfed condition, and proving
only an obstacle to the farmer in max
ing a clearing. Another strange fact
is the rapidity of the scrubs growth.

Talking aboIt funeral Aotices,"
remarked the man from the west,
s.-o.... relates tie New
OPleans Timss-
' Dsmesrat you
read the most original in Ne west
ern papers. They have NO such Re.
spsct for the living or the dead IN
some Of the western communities as
we in this part Of the world. Per-
haps this arises from the fsot that
the west is . new section. a.A that
conditions have not become settled
there yet, but the situation exists
nevertheless. The weekly nswsPs.
pers take all sorts Of liberties even
with the dead. For instance. know
q reporter on . western weekly. who
was asked to write . funeral nstice
for friend of his, and this IL the
way it got in the paper: The death
angel smote Alexander McGrew, and
brought him protracted repose: he
wore q checked shirt and . No. .
shoe. and had q pink wart ON his
nose; but l know he is happier dwell.
ing in space, over there on the ever
green shore, and his friends are in
formed that his funeral takes place
precisely at half-past four Strange
to say, there was no complaint about
1t. The people of the town took it
as matter of course. Some even
thought the obituary poem was q
fine piece of literary composition, and
invited the reporter around to take
several times. If that were to hap
pen in this country or up east there
would either be a lynching or q big
lawsuit. Anyway, the people in the
south and east would not stand
for any such sacrilege, and they are
right about it. Yet when o man has
lived out west a long time he gets
so that these things do not shock
him like they would were he living
in any other quarter Of the globe.
There is a great deal in association,
and suppose that is why nobody
thought of going after the obituary
editor and stringing him up to the
nearest lamppost. If the notion had
struck the people, they would have
done it, but they allow a man plenty
of latitude out there. 1t Is only
when he abuses IL that trouble

The perennial outcry against the
fruit dealers who defraud their GUS
r,, T., rru,t toners by putting
up their goods in
r"cAH"' baskets with false
bottoms and paper "stuffing" ha. be-
gun, and several arrests have been
made by the police, reports the Chica-
go Tribune. This will have the effect
of frightening some of the unscrupu-
lous dealers and Of making some pur-
chasers more careful. 1t is not to be
expected, however, that the present
crusade will have the effect Of putting
a permanent stop to the fraudulent
practice. So long as the competition in
the fruit business is as sharp as it is at
present and the margin Of profit so
small there will be plenty OF dealers
who will take advantage of every op-
portunity to impose on the public and
increase their profits at the expense Of
their honesty. Official inspection,
with its resulting arrests. may accom-
plish something, but the best safe
guard against fraud will remain in the
personal watchfulness and care Of the
individual purchaser. Tho man who
buys fruit by the basket should see to
it that he gets full measure and that he
is not called upon to pay for single
layer of peaches resting upon foun-
dation of paper wads or blocks Of
