The first stationary compressed air
cleaning apparatus to be placed in
hotel in the United States, If not in
the world, was put In operation in
milwaukee, recently. The compressor
is located In the basement, and from
it pipes lead to every floor of the
building, with places thereon for at.
taching the hose, and hereafter the
carpets and furniture and draperies
Of the hotel will be kept clean and
sweet by means of this new device.
1t is an automatic piece Of mechan-
Ism, and when In use the air pressure
is kept at eighty pounds to the. square
inch. 1t Is operated by electricity,
and when the limit of pressure is
reached the electrical current is cut
off; but as soon as started up the con-
nection Is renewed and the pressure
maintained By this means the air
current is sent through the carpets,
furniture and bedding, cleaning cut
all dirt and rendering them sweet and
clean-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Some Stories of the Present Archbishop
of Canterbury,

Some Stories of the Present Archbishop
of Canterbury.
Many are the stories of the courage
and wit shown by the present arch
bishop of Canterbury, DR.. Temple, in
combating the attacks of the extreme
high churchmen which followed the
publication of his Essays and Re
views" When he was nominated as
bishop of Exeter, writer in one of
the Devon papers gave expression to
the view that 'the Tories disliked DR..
temples politics, and pretended that
1t was his religion they objected to-"
Mr.. Gladstone and the queen were un-
moved. Protests against the conse-
Grafton were sent in by the bishops
of Gloucester, Hereford, Lichfield and
Lincoln. When the ceremony had been
duly performed, in spite of the vehe-
ment opposition Of high churchmen
and Tories in all parts of the country,
one church newspaper said in an edi-
torial jeremiad: And so, on that
darkest day in the whole year, was per-
petrated the darkest crime ever com
mitted in the English church," Such
sentence as this shows to what a
height the animosity had run. DR..
Benson, the most intimate of all Tenn
pies friends, thus described his bear
ing during that memorable incident in
Westminster Abbey: Dear Temples
face was white as ashes, and his jet
black hair and whiskers and the white
and black OF his robes made him look
In his stiffness a sad plight for a
friends eye to rest upon. His healthy
bronze was quite gone, but he looked
true man." DR.. Temples temperance
agitation exposed him to criticism
from another source. He enjoys tell
ing this story: In the west of England
he one afternoon spoke at an agricul-
tural society's meeting-a kind of oc-
casion at which he was eminently at
home from his knowledge of farming.
But he could not miss the opportunity
of giving some temperance hints and
advice. He remarked, with his accus-
toned grim humor, that "he himself
had never been drunk in his life. ;"
On his way home he heard the boys
in the street with the papers shout
ing Remarkable statement Of the
bishop of Exeter" The headline was
certainly startling one. The bishop
with some curiosity opened the paper
to see what he had said, and found
his phrase used as special heading:
Never been drunk in his life!'-Wil-
liam Durham in London Outlook.

Yes, l have pretty big mouth, for

but 1 have learned to keep it shut,
and that counts for something when
you take your levels. l received a
lesson when l was a small boy that
have never forgotten. I was born and
brought up on a farm, and l had the
country boy habit of going around
with my mouth wide open, especially
II there was anything unusual going
on. One day an uncle, whom | had
not seen for years, paid us visit.
'Hullo, uncle said 1, looking up
at him with my mouth opened like u

He looked at me for a moment
without answering, and then said:
"'Close your mouth, sonny, so 1
can see who you are

resolved that from that day l would
not allow my mouth to conceal my
identity. y."-Detroit Free Press,

Modest Fees

Lawyers do not usually get the small
the Green Bag recalls two incidents
We're the clients had rather the best
of It
Sir Walter Scotts first client was a
burglar. He got the fellow off, but
the man declared he hadn't penny to
give him for his servicea Two bits
of useful information he offered,
however, and with these the young
lawyer had to be content. The first
was that yelping terrier inside the
house was better protection against
thieves than Il big dog outside; and the
second, that no sort Of lock bothered
his craft so much as an old, rustI
one.
Small compensation as this was, the
first brief of the noted French lawyer,
Monsieur Rouher, yielded still less.
The peasant for whom Monsieur Rou-
her won the case asked how much he
owed him.
"Oh, say two francs" said the modest
young advocate.
1.-TWO francs" exclaimed the peasant.
THAT is very high. Won't you let me
off with franc and half?"
NO" said the counsel; 1.-TWO francs
or nothing"
well, then" said his Client "Td
rather pay nothing"

LlFE'S LOOM.
Weaving, weaving, weaving,

Weaving, weaving, weaving,
Time is the warp,
Pulsing and throbbing, life's loom goes;
Spinning, spinning, spinning,
Mans deeds the wool,
Quickly and busily the shuttle he throws
The little child takes up the task,
AS soon as consciousness begins,
His tiny hands uncertain act,
As merrily he needless spins.
The youth, with pride and confidence,
Loud vaunts the deeds he will achieve.
The future big with great events,
In blazing light his name will weave.
Hard pressed, beset, the man tolls on,
Speed by the days, the months, the years
Aghast and desperate he stands,
So small his greatest work appears.
With palsied hand, old age has come,
Slow, goes the loom = Fate cuts thc
thread;
Wide yawns the grave; the web is spun,
A shroud is woven for the dead.
'Tis thus through life; man spins and
weaves,
Until OF time and deeds complete
This mystic robe, his very self,
Becomes for him his windingshe
Weaving, weaving, weaving,
Time is the warp,
Pulsing and throbbing, lifes loom goes;
Spinning, spinning, spinning,

Ever and ever the shuttle he throws.

His Own Executioner,

Many instances have been cited in
proof Of the argument that it pays to
be polite, but few are more striking
than the experience of an italian tel
egrapher at the hands of Calimberti,
the Minister Of Posts and Telegraphs,
as reported in a letter from Rome.
The Minister was at Genoa, and
desiring to send dispatch of great
Importance, he went to the telegraph
office and approached the wicket
No one was there. He knocked
profound silence. He repeated his
efforts, and only after third trial
clerk appeared, who addressed him in
language that was anything but COM
plimentary. He had evidently been
awakened from his afternoon nap.
The Minister listened to his grum-
bling, and then said pleasantly:
"Excuse me, but what may youI
name beY
"X. X"
"Are you clerk or telegrapher?"

Calimberti wrote out a telegraphic
message and said:
'Will you be SO kind as to send this

Posts, Rome: The telegrapher, y. ".

CoIdest Spot on Earth.

The coolest spot on earth where hu.

that town has been known to descend
