To Run Bird Restaurants.

Kenosha, Wis. women have gone
into n scheme for making their town a
regular BIRD City" They have formed
a club, which nearly every villager has
Joined, for having bird restaurants
in their front or back gardens Each
member of the club has agreed to erect
a tall pole with shelf on top large
enough to hold a saucer of water and
tray of food, which will contain
seeds, lettuce, cuttlebone and any oyher
dainties birds crave.
Once the bird restaurants become
popular with Kenosha's birds, the
women believe the feathered ones
will impart the glad tidings to their
neighbors in other suburbs, and Ken
osha in a little while will have mon
opoly of the songsters of the North
shore
Some of the women will even go
further than to establish bird eating
houses. Moss and other nesting ma
terial will be placed in the trees, where
it will be of easy access, and the
women reason that. with all this home
building material at hand, the birds
will look no further for a coZy spot In
which to settle and begin housekeep-
ing.

The recurrence of foggy season
directs attention again to Il serious
municipal problem. 1t causes us to
wonder whether the heaviness of the
atmosphere of Philadelphia is due
most TO the dampness or to the SCOT
and gas which are emitted from every
flue and chimney pot, and are unable
to ascend during these periods of me-
teorological depression. 1t is q well
known fact that n London particular
is little more than the smoke of the
great metropolis, which for the time
being refuses to rise and oyerwhelms
man and beast. The heavy atmosphere
of Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Cleveland
hangs over those cities like n pail, and
when dampness accompanies the ha-
bitual condition of smokiness the evil
is aggravated, becoming at times in
tolerable to people who have ever
known Il clearer and happier cliDle.-

WHEN RUSSIANS EAT.
No Fixed Meal Time-Many Peculiar
tiles at Table.

The Russian has no fixed meal time.
He eats when he is hungry, which is
often. He has about six square
meals day. He has at least doz-
en- lunches, little bit of salt fish
or some caviare, or piece Of bread
and cheese, washed down with a nip
of fiery vodki. He never passes a
station without glass of tea-marvel-
Gus tea, with thin slice of lemon
floating in it. You get fondness for
Russian tea. and forswear bemilked
decoctions forever. The table man
ners of the Russian-such as you see
in hotels and buffets-are not pleas
ing. He sprawls with outstretched
elbow on the table, and gets his
mouth down to his food rather than
raise the food to his mouth. He
makes Objectionable noises in his
throat. He has a finger bowl, and
rinses his mouth as the rest of us
do when cleaning our teeth in our
bathrooms. Then he squirts the wa
ter back into the bowl.

Old Joe, the Night wstchman.

fFrom the Pail Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late on
dreary winters night has our sympathy
gone out to the poor old night watchman
as he sat huddled up over his cage fire,
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or otherwise,
allow the different water companies to
make so frequently in our congested
streets. In all weathers, and under all eli
matte conditions, the poor old night watch
man is obliged to keep watch over the
companies property, and to see that the
red lights are kept burning. What life,
to be sure; what privations and hardships;
they have aches and pains, which nothing
but St. Jacobs Oil can alleviate.
"Old joe is in the employ of the Lam
beth Water Works, and is well and favour
bly, known. He has been night watch
man for many years, in the course Of
which he has undergone many e1pe
riences. What with wet and cold, he con-
tracted rheumatism and sciatica, which fair
ly doubled him up, and it began to look a
serious matter for old Joe whether he
would much longer be able to perform his
duties, on which his good wife and himself
depended for livelihood, but as it hap
pened passer-by, who had for some
nights noticed Old Joe's painful condition,
presented him with bottle Of st. Jacobs
Oil, and told him to use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and babe his wife
rub his aching back with the st. Jacobs
Oil "a gentleman gave him." and undoubt-
edly his wife did rub, for when Old Joe
went on duty at night he met his friend
and benefactor, to whom he remarked:
Them oils you gave me, Guv'nor, did
give me a doing; they wua like pins and
needles for a time, but look at me new,"
and Old Joe began to run and jump about
like young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been telling
everybody he met what st. Jacobs Oil
had done for him. Old Joe says now he
has but one ambition in life, and that is
to always to be able to keep bottle Of
st. Jacobs Oil by him, for he says there is
nothing like it in the world.
st. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and the
poor, high and low, the same way. 1t has
conquered pain for fifty years, and it will
do the same to the end of time. 1t has no
equal, consequently no competitor; it has
many cheap limitations, but simple facts
like the above tell an honest tale with
which nothing on earth can compete.

New Method of Road Building.

A novel system OF road construction
has been successfully resorted to in
Monmouth, Ill. The ground was pre-
pared for it by grading and being al
lowed to remain so for two months.
1t was treated to an occasional scrap
ing,so that 1t would pack evenly, be-
ing thus rendered hard and even for
the laying of surface of brick, the
chief constructive feature. The first
thing was the setting OF a curbing
made of two by six inch planks seven
feet apart held by oak stakes eighteen
inches long and put down every four
feet. Inside OF this was a tive-inch
bed Of sand, all evened up, and single
course of No. 1 paving brick then put
down, n fine roadbcd being thus OBJ
tanned. Outside the curb two feet of
crushed rock were laid, graded up to
make an easy approach, this plan in
suring way of eleven feet in width,
and, as the earth on each side was
graded and worked, there was alto
gether width of some forty feet af-
fording tracks on each side for use in
dry weather. Such Il brick road costs
arout ninety cents Il running foot.

The Kaiser's Family.

Emperor William is the fortunate
father of six bright boys, and each
of those boys has sister, as the old
conundrum puts it. Her name is Vic
toria Louise, and she was born Sep
tember 13, 1892. We saw her at the
Geological Gardens, in charge of a
governess and an aid-de-camp, laugh
ing at the capers of the monkeys and
feeding the lions and tigers, just like
hundreds of other children who go to
the park every day. Mingling in the
throng, no one noticed her, although
people entering at one of the gates
might have observed that some men,
Der of the royal family was there, be-
cause OF q carriage bearing the EN-
peror's private crest, with a coachman
and footman in his private livery. By
those signs the imperial family may
always be distinguished in the parks,
boulevards and streets. The coachman
and footman wear black, trimmed with
silver braid, and wide hatband of
silver marked with black eagles.-Chl-

Thackeray's House.

The house which Thackeray built
for himself in Kensington has recent
ly been sold by the son of the auc-
tioneer who sold it for the first time
81 years years ago. When the great
novelist decided to build, many people
thought he was putting too great a
strain on his pen, but events have
shown that the speculation was a
sound one, for last week this house
went for $4,000. 1t is a red brick
mansion, screened from the. road. and
the lease has Al years to run.

NIip-ation of Insects.

Not long ago ship from one Of the
tropical countries was followed by a
tioch of butterflies, which persistently
circled around the rigging of the ves-
sci until the shore had faded in the
distance. Then the insects lighted on
the masts and decks. A few disap-
peared in the night and were destroyed
in the water or reached the shore in
safety. Some OF the others crawled
away in the cabins and hold Of the
ship. After a trip of thirty days the
vessel reached New York, and from
their hiding place in the ship few of
these butterflies emerged and few
ashore. Thus an entirely new species
of butterfly was introduced into the
country,

Increase of Cheap Telephones in Chicago.
1t is only year ago that the nickel
in-the-slot telephone was introduced in
Chicago. Now the demand for this
class of instruments is enormous, as
they fill place hitherto unprovided
for in the telephone service of that
city. Two classes OF nickel-in-the-slot
machines are used-one on a two-party
and the other ten-party line service.
The rate at which these Instruments
are put in Is limited only by the rapid
ity with which they can be turned out
from the factory, and the necessary
wires run and provisions made on the
exchange switchboard; in fact, the
company is overwhelmed with new
business and is even going to the ex-
tent of letting out different portions
Of it's work of placing instruments,
running wires and building pole lines
to various contractors. The number
of five-cent telephones put in since
this service was started about a year
ago is in the neighborhood of 1000,
which means an enormous additional
load on the company's exchanges.

PROTEST MADE TO COUNCIL, BUT
 ASSESSMENTS FOR THE IM- PRovEMENTs ARE MADE FINAL. CITY HALL COMMITTEE MEETS.

At an adjorned meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen last night an ordinance making final the assessments against property owners for the recent improving of Eleventh avenue, was passs ed over the written protest of number of citizens in which the charge of the use of inferior material was made. In the protest it was also charged that the figures and measurements of the city en- gineer in some instances were incorrect.
 The protest was presented by MT. W. c. Garrett, who said he merely wished to place the matter in a position so that 1t could be taken up later should any citi- zens wish to do so. The petition asserted that while the contract price was H.I5 per yard for paving, cents per yard had been added for advertising and per cent interest had also been tackled on. He said the charges for the work should have been $4s3S 6S, while in reality on the final bill they were called upon to pay $59O2.
 The allegation was also made that a cheap and inferior grade of material
