EXCUsING THE FLIRT.

Ruskin advised every girl to have six sweethearts coincidentaily. It was excellent advice. That misjudged per son. the fiirt. is most frequently wo- man whose heart aches for friendship, but who keeps the richest store hidden for her king when he shall come. Those who were never her king. who never could be her king, call her names by way of rejoinder. They overlook the salient fact that al! she gave them was friendly interest, and that was all she pretended to give them, fer con scious hirt-that is. woman who con spicuously pretends to love-is as i'm possible as a conscious hypocrite. Tn fact. the firt is the only remaining artist in friendship, and world which knows not what friendship is makes good the deficiency by maligning her -Macmillan's Magazine.

w. J. MURPHY HOME.-Mr. w. J. Murphy has returned from q trip to 1 Washington. where he went m the in terest of statehood and the extension or the forest reserve. Regarding the latter. he said his party met with strong opposition. but secured all they asked for. The prospects for state hood, MT. Murphy thinks. are very ! bright. lie says the president will do all in his power to aid the movement. and he thinks an admission bill will surely be passed during the present session.
 KILLED A KID.-Hi Eldred killed a kid yesterday, a little namless thing. whose parents are unknown. if he had any living. At last report the culpriu was still at large and no warrant has been issued for him. After he had fin ished his bloody work he took the corpse to Coffee AIS and had it roasted in the best possible manner. Then it was sent to the Elks' lodge room and the members of Phoenix lodge No. 335 devoured it. being told it was roast lamb. But it wasn't. and the incident only illustrates how little. anyone knows of what he is eating. Some very funny things happen in that lodge room, but this is the first time any

ELECTRIC LIGHTS STILL YOUNG
shown for the First Time at the Cen
 tennial Exposition in 1876.

The electric light is new. and yet is so old that perhaps we do not appreci- ate it's marvellous achievement. If We will but recall the conditions before it came We shall see what a wonderful advance il has been in the field of ap- piled science. It's use in theaters, in stores. in show windows. in street it. luminations. in private as well as pub lie. it's application for lighting in all sorts of out corners. it's di- visibility into various degrees of pow CT, it's absolute safety so long as the wires are properly guarded. it's perfect sanitary qualities, the practical ab- sence Of heat and the entire absence of odor, are things that make one feel that in the way of lighting we have come perhaps to the last discovery.
 Yet this light was shown in this country for the first time at the cen tennial exhibition twenty-five years ago. And it is needless to say that those who saw it were skeptical of it's practical use. Arc lighting was pro- duced on a commercial basis in 1S77 but the real beginning of electric light ing in it's modern aspects was with the opening Of the Pearl street station of New York by Edison in September. 1882, where the Edison incandescent lamp was used. In the nineteen years since then. according to a careful tabu- iation made by the Electrical Re view" the investment in electric light ing plants in this country alone has reached the sum of STO0. 900. 900. This wonderful industry has been estab- lished in this short time. and. we must now remember, in the face of the orga- 'nized and long tablished competition Of gas illumination, a powerful and rich interest which until the adoption of electric light occupied the whole field for the best kind of lighting indianapolis News

SOME VALUABLE sTUMBLEs.
Accidents That Have Resulted ic Great
 Scientific Discoveries.

For the purpose Of some experiment Lord Kelvin once melted some shoe makers wax in a glass. and then for got it, and left it on a shelf.
 Days afterward he picked up the for gotten test tube. and, looking through the glass, saw that nail lay at the bottom of the wax This struck. him as curious, for he knew that the tube had been empty when ti;e wax was ol.igi- naly poured in, and there was no mark on the surface O. the now hard ened material He laid another nail upon the surface of the wax and left it there. In q week he found that it was 1t the bottom. yet there was no sign of its passage. Then he proceed ed to melt the wax and podr il upon a cork placed at the bottom of a recept- acle. In q few days the cork had risen to the surface, yet in this case also without leaving any trace Of its rising The accident of the nail falling upon the shoemakers' wax gave the great scientist a long-sought illustration of the working of ether, which aarries light and electric rays. and which. though as rigid as steel. yet does not retard in the least the passage of the earth or planets through space.
 The stumble Of Watts. the plum ber and the fall of his ladle full Of molten lead from the top of a tower to the bot tom, gave the world cheap saot. and in every branch Of science similar ac- cidents are pushing on the great in Ventions of today. Edison had on three separate occasions to thank accident for putting him on the right track when struggling after some new invention. 'T was singing into the mouth Of the e.-I-.- tions of the voice sent the fine steel point into my finger. That set me to If | could record the actions of the point and send the point over the same surface I saw no reason why the thing could not talk
 So Edisons bleeding finger gave the world the phonograph.
 The first electric lamp made with a carbon filament also owed it's origin to the merest chance. Edison had tried everything he could think of but could find no flament suitable for the pur- pose, and one blazing hot summer day sat in his laboratory almost in despair. 4 breeze came through the wide-ope window and rustled a broken palm leaf fan which lay on the table. The sound attracted his attention. He made grasp at it and with eager fingers be- gan tearing up the outer rim. EXperi- ments soon proved that he had found the very substance he had been look ing for.
 It was literally a stumble which, Edison, is now revolutionizing the world of iron mining. Walking one day along the shore, the inventor picked up some black sand. He filled his pocket with the queer looking stuff and when he got home turned il out on a table. One of his worl<men came by carrying big magnet. and. stuInb ling, dropped his load against the

Letters That Sell Well.

Letters Of today that bring favor
able rates in a big market are the
letters of business. You can either
rent or sell them. This is in con-
nection with the industry known as
the email order business" Those
engaged in the scheme must have
names" They must know to whom
to send the carefully Worded circu-
lars which are to be productive OF a
golden harvest.
The modus operandi in the past
was to put an advertisement in a
local paper that people in the big
cities seldom see, but which have a
wide circulation in the mail dis
trict.
The mail order man now procures
a big list of names of people who
have answered previous ADVERTISE
ments and to those on this list he
addresses circulars. This to him is
a great saving. 1t narrows down to
a special field. In place Of declaim-
inc to an uninterested number Of
people he has the advantage of get
ting in touch with a carefully Sc
lected audience which is anxious to
paw attention.-New York News.

WINNING AN UMBRELLA.
A Mistake That Brought Surprise, &c
Both Men involved.

A Grand avenue merchant enter
ed his store the other day with an.
umbrella in his hand and, sitting
down on the nearest stool, burst
into a roar Of laughter. In response
to queries as to the character of the
joke the merchant said after few
minutes of hilarity: -.
F'Well, you know, when I started
out in the rain had no umbrella. [
worried along, debating whether [
shouldn't invest, but was deferred
by the thought that I already have
three umbrellas kicking around
somewhere. When I got over on
East Water street, [ spied man [
presumed to be Dick Wilson, an old
friend of mine. The man [ thought
to be Dick was carrying a fine silk
umbrella. It's mine now" he added
fondly as he gazed on the work of
art he held in his hand.
Gas soon as I saw the man [ pre-
sumed to be Dick [ was so overj Dyed
that 1 rushed on him from the rear
and, slapping him hard on the back,
exclaimed, Look here, old man, give
me that umbrella!.
''The man turned, and, to my
| amazement, I discovered that he
was not Dick, but some one [ had
never seen before. I was covered
with confusion and was about to
apologize when I observed that he
was even more confused than 1. He
hastily closed the umbrella and
| pressed it into my hand With The re-
mark: ss ~ ~ 80;
ell beg your pardon. I didn't
| know it was yours and vanished
around the corner, leaving me stand
ing with open mouthed astonish-
ment."
After the outburst of merriment
from the assembled clerks had sub
sided the merchant said:
"Well, I've got fine, new UNI
brella anyway, and they say the Sec
| ond thief is the best owner."-Mil-

Early Marriages.

AS a corrective to exaggeratioD
and inaccurate statements there is
nothing like statistics. That is
probably why most people so much
dislike them. We have been persist
emily given to understand, for ex-
ample, that nowadays people are
too practical, too selfish, too world
ly wise or what not to marry as
young as their fathers and mothers
and grandparents. But it seems
that this is entirely wrong. Things
are not always what they seem, and,
though, from our individual person
al observation, one might have been
disposed to completely indorse this
statement, it appears that the regis
ter knows better and can prove by
hard figures that cannot possibly be
contradicted that men and women
do not marry any later in life than
they did at least a generation ago.
We are glad to hear it. After all,
there's nothing half so sweet in life
as loves young dream. Middle aged
lovers are not romantic, and we can
i'll spare anything that makes for
romance in these days.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

A Name TWister,

Some years ago Prince (then
COUNT Munster, with Count Beust
and Count Schouvaloff, was attend
ing foreign office reception in
London. Their names afforded no
slight difficulty to the thoroughly
English footman who announced
the guests by shouting their names
up the great staircase. Count
Schouvaloff arrived first, and the
footman duly announced him as
"Count Shufieoff.'' Then came
Count Beust, whose name in the
servitor's mouth became "Count
Beast" Lastly Count Munster ap-
peared, and the footman, evidently
feeling that a supreme effort was
required, finished off by calling out

Burning Glasses In Store Windows.

A chemical journal warns phar-
macists and all others who have oc-
casion to display anything in the
nature of lens in their windows
that as the season changes the suns
rays may fall directly into windows
which they did not reach during the
preceding season, and therefore it
would be we'll to bear in mind the
possibility of fire being kindled
through this agency and take pre-
cautions accordingly. That the
show globes in druggists window
are capable OF acting as burning
glasses" is proved by one case in
which the woodwork of a window

After his death some enterprising

with no fear of committing anach-

"Little Corporal" into that of Christ
and transformed the attendant gen.
erals into apostles. By a strange
oversight he neglected to alter ev-
