THE DELIVERY BOYS JOKE.

| It was the market man who spoke
 "No, this isn't exactly q Jerusalem tn
 Golden, though it may look like it. h
 said in reply to a remark to the effecr
 that life must be uncommonly delight l ful when led amid such an array of del icate hued Malaga grapes, golden or anges, crisp green lettuce and bright Florida tomatoes as that presented by
 his establishment.
 Take this afternoon, for instance, ' he commented Everything appears to
 be going along smoothly, doesn't it? Yet I'm at my wits end You haven't an idea of what a serious thing it is in this business to have to discharge a we'll trained clerk and take on green one. When it's a delivery clerk who has been with you three years, who has to go, it's little short of catastrophe
 That young fellow over there'-nod- ding toward a rosy-cheeked, very much illustrated young Hercules--"just came on the force this morning. He'll prob ably get things all mixed up--dellver orders to wrong places--so that some Woman's worst enemy will learn that she buys round steak instead of porter house--keep people waiting for their dinners, and cause me all sorts of trou- ble, not because he means to do so, but because he hasn't got the run of my particular business All this will be caused by five-cent bar of laundry soa ?.
 |, ,,t,I. lI.. drawn? Well, I'll explain. One of our most profitable customers came in here on Saturday and left an order with Joe. It wasn't Joe's place to take. orders, and l suppose it was just bad luck-his or mine-that caused him to be standing at the door on this particular occasion. He had been here as a delivery clerk for three years, and was q prize, | tell you.
 The order was for q bar of soap, to be sent immediately. The double team hitched to the big wagon that we use for suburban deliveries, was standing out front Joe got the biggest market basqet in the store, put the bar of soap in it. deposited it in the wagon, and drove off at furious gait.
 The cuStOmer-a lady-llVeS Tn the neighborhood of the store, so he radn't far to go. He backed the wagon up to the door, took down the tailboard and, with what was apparently q mighty ee- fort, he dragged out the basket and de- livered the soap.
 T didn't see any of the performance, though, according to the lady, the whole neighborhood did, but l got the details from both sides Joe said the lady might have taken the soap With her as she was going directly home, and we always keep nice white paper on hand The lady said it was gross lmpertfnence on Joes part. So, when it came to deciding between highly profitable suctomer whom l couldn't Well afford to lose and Joe, of course, Joe had to go. How did he know that she went right home after leaving the efderE Why, he watched her, he said.
 That's just an example of some of the things that we grocers have to deal with. l wouldn't have mentioned the matter but it has gotten all around, anyhow; Joe must have told it."--New York Times.

Acetylere Town Lighting at
Locke, N. Y.
BY l.. II. Hewitt

Replying 10 yours of the 9th herewith
attached. The Acetylene plant has been
in use in the village of Locke, N. ". for
nearly two years for lighting private
residences and public places, there being
az present about thirty meters in use for
the same with about one and halfmiles
of main piping.
Very recently the village has contract
ed for acetylene for street lighting pur-
poses aud system for the same about
one and one-third miles in length has
just been completed and is now in use.
giving perfect satisfaction One foot
burners are used for the street lamps
and an automatic cutoff at the plant
used 10 extinguish the lamps. This
plan is a per. ect success, there being no
loss from leakage through the open
burners during the day with one excep-
ton. One lamp post is at a high point
and we find this takes the gas from the
lamps on lower level and allows 1t to
pass through the burner at the high
point l would therefore suggest to any
parties contemplating this system TO
avoid lamps with open burners during
the day on high elevations.
We are using Rex 3OO-light
mach ne. The town lighting is by
contract per lamp per year of see each
for five hours service. 240 nights per
year.

OLD FAMILIES OF VENICE.
Their Fortunes Are Dtssfpated ana
Their Palaces Sold.

Their Palaces Sold.
Very few OF the fine old palaces OF
Venice belong TO the descendants OF the
families who built and originally occu-
pied them. Very little of the enormous
wealth for which Venice was celebrat-
ed ia the fifteenth century remains.
The most Of 1t has been dissipated by
the descendants OF the men who made
II, the same as In England. France and
other countries. The rich men of Ven
ice today are an entirely new class OF
people. whose names do not appear in
the Golden Book, which contained q
list of the patrician families in Venice
who were invited 10 festivities at the
palace. This book was instituted In
1915 and thenceforth until the Aus
TRAN occupation was the index and
standard Of nobility by which all claims
to precedence were decided.
Occasionally the grand council. by
vote. rewarded the gallantry or public
services of some citizen of humble
birth by directing that his name be in
scribed upon its pages. None but those
whose names were in the Golden Book
could use the golden stairs when they
entered a doge's palace. and when this
right was conferred il was equivalent
10 an order of nobility in another coun-
try. There is one notable exception to
the decay of the ancient families. and
he is Count Grimani. who traces his
lineage back to one of the most ia
nous of the doges. whose portrait,
painted by Titan. hangs In the council
chamber Of the dOge's palace. The
Grimani palace is on the Grand canal,
near the Rialto bridge, and is cele-
brated for its finely seulptured CAPT
tails
Many Of the rich men in Venice to-
uay arc Jews. They practically control
the banking business and manufacture
Ing They own the fine houses Of his
torical interest and the best paying es-
tates ON the mainland In the neigh
bOrhoOd. The present wealth o5syeuice
Is invested not so much I'm real estate
as In banking. manufacturing, -four
mills. elevators. gas companies. cotton
mills. the manufacture Of glass and in

Her three lofty masts had been
brought from Britain, whereas our
ships masts are OF iron or obtained
from New Zealand or from Vancouver

apartments abounded, and one OF her
banqueting halls was paved with agate
and costly Sicilian stone. Other floors
were cunningly inlaid with scenes from

MARRIAGE IN ARABIA.
The Wedding Procession an EInbO
rate and Noisy Affair.

hrOCeAkAOm
rate and Noisy Affair.
\ marriage procession among the
Arabs is a very elaborate affair. The
camel which bears the bride is deco
rated with bright henna dye on his
neck and shoulders. while there are
verses from the Koran inscribed on the
hanSings. His uncouth legs are often
swathed with bright cloths. his head
bedecked with plumes and small mir
rOrs. while his back is respondent
with bright colored bits of tinsel,
which glisten against a patchwork of
many hued cloths. A hood or cage
conceals the bride. and no doubt adds
to the discomfort of the cramped ride
on the beast There are attendants,
and last Of all the musicians. chiefly
drummers. who attract the crowds by
their incessant pounding on small but
high keyed instruments.
If the journey TO the groom's home
Is a short one. il is heightened by stops
at frequent intervals. and all the while
the lover must not show any eagerness
to welcome her, no matter what his
feelings may be. The Arab may be az
fectionate, but he cannot with dignity
betray emotion. Among the lower
classes buffoOns accompany the pro
cession with performing bears or other
wild animals. and when the bride is
wealthy largess is distributed along
the route in the form of clothes or coin.
When the groom's tent or fixed home
has been reached, the bride is expected
TO show great reluctance about enter
ing ii. aud in some cases she has to be
