contributing to a 100000 fund designed
to erect an imposing shaft.
When the fund Is raised and the
question OF a site for the monument
comes up for determination. there is
going to be obstinate resistance on the
part OF many citizens against any pro
posed removal OF Poes body from
Westminster churchyard. The argu-
,lent is advanced that II would now
be nothing short OF sacrilege to de-
stroy that spot which. fo- more than
half century. has woven halo Of
romance about Westminster. and has
brought thither thousands of reveren-
tial visitors. In all decency and fair
ness. the supporters of this argu-
ment declare. the shaft should stand
where the poets bones now rest. The
Poe family. whose descendants are
numerous in the city have not yet
expressed themselves on the matter

A movement has also been started
to endow the room In which Poe died,
as an asylum for sick authors and
literary men. This room is in what
is now known as the Church Home

ELECTRIC SAFETY LAMP.
Used Of Inflated Rubber Ball Guards
AGAINST Dancer.

An account is given in Electrician
for September 16 of a new electric
lamp, adapted for use in fiery mines.
the invention of Mr.. d. Thomasi.
When the glass bulb of tn ordinary
electric incandescent lamp is acct
dentally broken the filament burns,
owing to contract with air, and this
momentary combustion not only
gives rise to flame, but also distributes
small particles of intensely heated
carbon which are sufficient to cause
the explosion of certain gases pres
ent in mines or even of the coal dust
floating in the atmosphere.
To avoid this danger it is essential
to do away with oil contact with
mine air, and this Mr.. Tommasi has
effected by placing the bulb in the
interior of a glass cylinder with a
metal base and cap. This outer COW
ering is also air tight and the wires
conveying the current pass through
the base, in which a small Indian
rubber bulb with a tap is contained,
the purpose of which. when IL is not
inflated, is to break the contract. be-
tween the wires which convey the cur
rent to the lamp proper.
In order to set the lamp In action
the rubber ball must be filed with
air and the tap turned to keep it dis
tended If it is needed to extinguish
the lamp the ball must be Debated,
which separates the wires from con-
tract but the same thing can be ef-
fected by breaking the glass cylinder,
the ball is then at once emptied and
the lamp in the inner bulb is nut out.
Or, if the inner bulb is broken and
not the outer cylinder, the air PUSHES
in from the outer cv,inder, and fills
the vacuum and the carbon is quickly
consumed without danger of an ex-
plosion.

GROWING GUINEA FOWLS.
Increasing Market for the Birds for
the Table.

The Department of Agriculture,
Washington, in a bulletin just issued,
announces growing market for
guinea fowl as table birds and sug-
gests that they might we'll be bred
in the United States more extensively
either along with other poultry, or in
larger numbers by themselves. The
report, which gives a summary of
what is characterized as heretofore
meagre and scattered data on the
feeding, management, and uses of the
bird, says there is reason to believe
that the Improvement in guinea varie-
ties will continue, and that their
breeding will become an increasing
ly important branch of the poultry
industry. The report says:
The birds do well with comparative
ly little care, and in spite of the half
wild habits which they may re-
tain which allowed to range they
may be trained to more domestic
ways and readily fed and fattened
like other poultry. They are excep-
tionally hardy. Their noisy and quar-
relsome habits are commonly thought
TO give warning of hawks or other
intruders in the poultry yard. Guineas
eat such large numbers of insects
that they are often useful in helping
to DESTROY these pests. They also eat
many wild seeds, and In this way
are of value.
There is already fair demand for
guinea fowl, esnecially in New York
and other cities in the eastern
United States. Very young birds for
broilers bring good prices early in the
season in city markets. while the
older ones are easily sold throughout
the autumn and winter. They may
be prepared for the table like ordi-
nary fowl or like game birds. have
very much the same food value as
chicken, and are as economical when
bought at about the same price per
pound.

Hu.b.nd. who Never Praise.

Apparently there are some men in
the world who would not be likely
to live long if, by any possibility, they
should be betrayed into praising their
wives. The man of this description
is self-sufficient creature, who evil
IDENTIFY believes that creation was in
stituted for his benefit. He is little
surprised and a good deal annoyed
that things were not arranged more to
bis liking, but he tolerates the ar
rangement, not because he approves
of it, but because he cannot help it.
The wife of this man is woman
whom no old maid should envy. And
no old maid should ever marry this
man when his first wife is worn out
and laid in the grave; if she does she
will regret it to her latest day-that
is, unless she has backbone enough
to put the man where he belongs and
keep him there. And it is never pleas
ant to any true-hearted woman to feel
that she has to master her husband
In order to live comfortably with him.
The man who never praises his wife
will find fault with everything ON
every possible occasion. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to find fault
easier than the proverbial sliding
down hill. 1t gets to be a habit with
some rlen, and they are hardly con-
scious when they are exercising it.
Why cannot man show his wife
that he appreciates her efforts to
please him? Why cannot he praise

the pudding of her neighbor, Mrs.
