WANTED TO SAVE TROUBLE.

A British major was sent some years
ago to establish order in small town
in Africa which had been placed tenn
porarily in charge of the local military
commandant, man who had risen
rapidly from the position of store
keeper and who, not satisfied
with his official elevation, had ell
evated himself on the day the
major arrived by drinking too
much. The first act OF the major was
to place the commandant under lock
and key, but the inebriate managed to
burst his bonds and invade the tele-
graph office, from which place he dis
patched this wire to the colonial office:

the seal that is to be enameled on the

1t is, indeed. an exquisite decoration
for the White House service. The
White House service consists of .296
pieces. The glass service is one of ex-
IRENE beauty, and is unusual. as it ~
empilfles the arts of heavy cutting and
delicate etching well blended.
1t IS understood that but one piece
signed by John Wedgwood is known to
exist, and that bears the name and

however, two or three emblems which
can be used to denote the presidential

which is no different from the seal of

finally determined that the great seal
should be enameled on the service, and

The unpleasant odor arising from the
first fire in heating apparatus has been
investigated In Germany. 1t is found
that the fine dust collecting in pipes
and on steam coils during a season Of
rest contains much moisture and is rich
in micro-organisms, and the first
warmth causes the organisms to vege-
tate in great numbers. This sets free
much ammonia, which gives the dis
agreeable and irritating smell.
