MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP TRIED.
Reports Received From Consular Of
fcers in Europe.

The Department of Commerce and Labor
has just received a great number of reports
from the American consular officers in Aus
tria, Canada, England, France and Ger
many upon the subject of municipal owner
ship. The reports were requested by the
State Department because of the great in.
terest manifested in this country on that
subject The reports show that various
cities own gas works, water works electric
lighting plants, cemeteries, docks, street
railways and telephones. and in most cases
these undertakings have been very success
full. Many cities are operating their own
street car lines, and the electric street car
service of the city of Nottingham, England,
is an illustration of what is possible
though not always accomplished. in 'munic-
ipal ownership. The gross profit of that
system last year was 1.41 per cent of the
capital employed. The receipts for the year
were $3.50, 1873. and the operating expenses
were slightly over so per cent. During the
two years the electric railway has been
operated by the city it has contributed
$145995 to the city rates. and has estab-
lished a reserve fund of sos, ,0S917 Mr..
Frank w. Mahin. L. S. consul at Noting
ham, England, who makes this report, says
that taking due account of depreciation and
unexpected charges. it is believed that the
tramways undert taking will yield a substan-
tial yearly profit, to go toward reduction
of municipal taxes, besides giving the pub
lie a highly satisfactory service at low
fares.
The city of Nantes France, has an mex
pensive method of supplying food to the
destitute as well as providing them with
lodging for the night. For many years this
city has managed a system of municipal
where persons without money may
present tickets and procure a warm, SUBJ
stantial meal. The city has also recently
erected one of these buildings, having in
connection herewith q dormitory with
beds for the accommodation of about fifty
persons. These beds are also free to the

Car Transfers

A. F. Kinnan. president of the Brookland
Citizens Association, called on Commiss, oner
Macfarland yesterday to ascertain what
steps the Commissioners are likely to take to
relieve the situation facing the Brookland
citizens with reference to transfers. The
court having forbidden the City and Sub
urban railroad from issuing transfers. the
citizens are anxious to obtain some relief
Mr.. Kinnan wanted the Commissioner to
bring the matter to the attention of the
corporation counsel to see if the city gov

terest of the Commissioners in the situation

NEW LIGHTS IN CLOCK TOWER.
If Their Superiority is Demonstrated
They Will Be Permanently Installed.

Chief Clerk Chance of the Post Office De-
partment has granted permission to the
Cooper-Hewitt Company for the instaila-
ton of several of their vapor electric lamps
in the tower of the post office building.
Two have been already placed in the clock
room and have demonstrated that the face
of the clock can now be seen and read at
a much greater distance than was formerly
the case with the old lights.
They were placed in position under the di-
rection of c. NJ Weeks, engineer of the
company controlling the lights who came
from New York for the purpose. Chief
Electrician Lloyd of the department said
that the new lights have not only increased
the efficiency of the clock but have reduced
the cost of lighting the tower at least 80
per cent. There were before twelve lamps
of 80 candlepower each used in the tower,
the cost being about % cents an hour Mr..
Lloyd also said that the distance at which
the hands of the clock can now be dis
tinctly seen and the time told by the per-
son with ordinary sight is from six to eight
blocks, while before, with the incandescent
lamps, the distance was scarcely more than
two blocks.
If the lamps demonstrate their superiority
over the old ones 1t is likely that they will
be ordered permanently for the clock tower.

Rubies for True Love.

Rubies are most suited for young lovers.
They are also most expensive. The people
of the Burmese empire believe that a ruby
is a human soul just about to enter the
sacred precincts of Buddha and consequent
ly in the last stages of transmgration. A
ruby is an emblem OF the most passionate
and absorbing love. A ruby in the old
days of chiyalry was supposed to lead
knight to conquest, to cause obstacles to
melt away and to inspire one with bravery
and zeal. 1t also kept his honor unstained
and his character without blemish.
Pearls have always been the particular
emblem of purity. They are also credited
with representing modesty. In Persia TO
this day people suppose them to be drops
of water which by some means entered The
oyster and became crystallized there. Pearls
and diamonds are the most popular Of gems
among all classes
An emerald that has no flaw In it is typi-
cal of the purest love. Some people say
that as few such stones can be found, pur-
est love is necessarily rare An emerald
was always thought to possess the power
Of discovering treachery in the shape Of al
legged friends.
The emerald is exceedingly popular In
courtships and In marriages. After mar
rage 1t is supposed to bring harmony
into the household and to further domestic
Joys In every possible way. To lose an
emerald is said to bring business misfor-
tunes and disaster.

else. 1t brings the desired jar upon the
calf muscles, the jar which strengthens
them.
Do not neglect walking if you would have
well-rounded calves-real outdoor walking
and real hill-climbing, too. l know a STEM
der girl who always had pipestems for legs
until she went to live in a billy city and
some distance from home. Those tramps
built up her legs until they were perfectly
rounded at the calf.
The preparation for removing scars and
pox marks is composed of one ounce al
mond oil and five drops iodine. Gently
massage the marks with it.
Daily applications of vaseline will have
tendency to increase the growth of the
eyebrows and the oiliness of the vaseline
will make them appear darker. This is
better than dyeing them. Superhuous hair
on the lip is most effectually removed by
electrolysis.
One hundred and thirty-six pounds is
the weight for a woman of five feet four
inches. If you taller than that I
should say that you need not work of
flesh even at sixteen. Pork and veal are
fattening, not beef and mutton. Exercise
and proper diet will reduce your weight,
but decide first whether you wish IT re-
duced Anything that clears the liver
will have a tendency to brighten the
eyes. Lemonade with as little sugar as
possible is excellent.
The dark rings around the neck will
probably yield to daily applications of
cucumber juice.
