New Lamp Filament.

A new lamp filament of special com
position has been brought out by Dr..
Just Of Vienna, who lately presented
a number of lamps before the Electro
chemical society, of that city. 1t seems
that the new filament contains boron
and is made by q new process, the
details or which ha~e ne4-~- s-~.-hn""
made public. 1t Is claimed that 1t
can be turned out as easily as the car
bon filament One point in favor Of
the new lamp is that it works at a
much higher efficiency than the car
bon filament. A lamp was shown
which burned on 10 volts and gave
80 candle power. 1t takes but 1T
watts per candle, which makes it's
efficiency about twice that Of the car.

FOrtv.two Revolutions.

Thirty years ago, when visiting San
Domingo in an official capacity, he was
taken in hand by newly appointed
Minister, who undertook to show him
around. Coming to the courtway Of
a prominent building, the guide point
ed to a doorway and remarked, as
complacently as If he were indicating
the name Of street: "That is where
our last Emperor was shot"
In the course Of his sojourn he came
upon an aged man, held in high esteem
by the community because he had
been witness Of quite exceptional
number of revolutions and lived to
tell the tale.
"How many have you seen?" the
visitor asked
"Forty-two," the patriarch m odestly
replied.
1t appears that when boy the old
man had seen Louis XVI. and Marie
Antoinette carried to the 'guillotina.
Emigrating to San Domingo the tale
Of revolutions ran rapidly up. till it eI.

Breaking 1t Gently.

A political lieutenant once announced
to Senator Quay disastrous defeat,
making the announcement in blunt,
brusque terms.
Senator Quay gave the man one Of
his peculiar direct glances and smiled
slightly. Then he said:
You have broken this news gently.
You remind me of an Irishman. This
Irlshman had great faith in his Giplo-
macy, and one day, when boy was
killed at quarry he told the men to
leave everything in his hands, and he
would break the news to the boys
mother as it should be done.
$50 he went home, put on black
suit and q black tie, and he knocked
at the door of the boys mothers house.
"'Cood norrnin', ma'arl,' he said.
''Tis a sad accident yer bye Toms
gold watch has had
"Why,' said the mother, Tom never
had a gold watch
"'Sure, en- that's lucky said the
news breaker, for there's twenty ton
of rock fallen on him."

OBEDIENCE IN A CHILD.

When a child does wrong it should
have no chance Of excuse in slovenly
rules or half-giyen orders. There
should be a clear-cut choice between
right and wrong for the child to live
by. There is nothing that children
recognize more quickly or more acutely
than a laxity of attention to them and
their training, says the Boston Herald.
There are parents who punish their
children physically from selection. and
because they feel that the suffering of
bodily pain is of benefit, and, feeling
this, they fulfil what they consider to
be their duty, however painful to them
selves the performance may be. The
chances are that the moral force of
these parents would be all-sutficient to
take the place of bodily force, and If in
the end they are able to point to their
children as we'll trained, fine products
of their method, they would in all like
lihood have been equally able to thus
point to them, and with greater and
more pardonable pride, had the train.

with a fifteen-inch furrow. requires
"a rounds and 1856 turns. The same
area, in the form Of parallelogram-
by 80 rods-requires only ID rounds
and 50 turns, thus requiring much less
time to do the work. The same rule
applies to cultivation. The longer the
rows the less time required, as there
will be fewer turnings at the ends Of

cultivator which causes loss of time

A HORSE COLLAR FOR A REST.
LESS BABY.

Should any young mother ruffie her
plumage or excite herself unduly as
though I had suggested a straitjacket
for her darling, she will be glad to
learn that the use Of horse collar for
a baby trying to master the art Of
successfully sitting alone will prove
q comfort to both child and mother
as know by experience.
I borrowed from good harness
dealer a large, new collar such as is
used upon farm horses. This I placed
upon the floor, throwing light blanket
or lap-robes over it, and seated my
baby inside the enclosure. You can
tell by trying which side up the collar
should be, and how the baby best fits
his new seat. His hands and lap can
be filed with playthings, and toys be
placed within reach upon the floor.
Here he sits without danger CT falling,
with his back supported and his pre-
cious heal safe, fer the tirle being,
from the numerous bumps which are
its portion. If an upright position be-
comes tiresome the little fellow can
work himself down into nearly hori-
zontal posture. My baby used to get
her feet out and lie back, kicking with
all her might, her little outstretchcd
hands keeping her flying feet lively

perfect ecstasy Of motion.

Writ Of CertiOrari Issued by Judge

Court.
ASKS THAT ORDER Be SET ASIDE.
Twentieth Ward Coop Takes Action
Against City Court and

A petition for writ OF certlorarl was
filed in the district court today by the
twentieth Ward Cooperative Mercan-
tile Institution directed against Judge
H. S. Tanner Of the city court, and
Frank Dayi, In which II Is asked that
an order made by Judge Tanner on
July 6, 1904, setting aside Judgment
rendered I'm favor OF plaintiff and
against DaW IN Justice OF the Peace
Lochrle's court IN 1901, be reviewed by
the district court and be declared null
and void.
The affidavit In support Of the petit
ton recites that judgment was rem
dered by Justice Lochrie on March %,
1901, in favor OF plaintiff for the sum
of s52.15 against DaI and other defend
ants. 1t Is further alleged that Judge
Tanner on July Of this year made IA
pretended order setting aside siad judy
ment as against DaW Such order, 1t is
claimed, is void and beyond the juris-
dictian OF said court because the act
purportlng 10 make the city court the
successor Of the said justice court does
not authorize the city court to set aside
a Judgment OF the Justice court, and
eaid Judgment cannot be set aside ex-
cept upon motion for a new trial made
within 10 days after the entry Of the
judgment.
A writ Of certiorar was issued today
by Judge Hall.
