Model Teuementa.

No account of model tenements
would be complete WITHOUT the state
ment of the remarkable fact that they
not only offer the advantages outlined,
rent as cheaply as they do, and are
run as beneficently as if they were
philanthropy, but that they also pay
annually four per cent on the invest
ment, as a cold business proposition.
1t is not theory that is being expert
mented with; the experimental stage
has long since been passed. 1t is an
accomplished fact. Ever since the ten
ements were built, each half year two
per cent. dividends have gone regularly
to stockholders of record The invest
ment is paradOxically a business and
a philanthropy at once. Thus it comes
about that the $1,OOO,OOO gift of Henry
Phlpps, the steel magnate, if put into
operation according to the best plans
of the City and Suburban Homes Com
pany OF New York, as it undoubtedly
will be. will net $4,000 a year-it is
assured - which will be -reinvested in
other houses, and endless chain to ban
ish the slum.-October Reader.

Should Not Cage Rabbits.

Nature never intended that parrots
should be confined in cages said a
bird fancier. 'They get equity feet,
become irritable, are liable to fits and
commissions, lose their feathers and
pick themselves until they are a mass
of mutilated deformity. Confinement
and improper diet are the causes of all
this. If parrot gets an irritation of
the skin and draws blood while pick
ing himself, he will keep on till he
is horrid spectacle. Once tasted. a
thirst for blood has been created and
will never cease.

expression in the open country."-Mtl-

Calming Him.

The other day Il careless mason
dropped brick from the second story
of 4 building Oh which he was at work.
Leaning over the wall and looking
down he saw Il respectable citizen with
his hat damned over his eyes. The
mason, in tones OF apprehension, asked:
Did the brick hit any one down
there:''
The citizen, with great difficulty ex-
Treating himself from the eXtinguisher
into which his hat had been trans
formed, replied, with considerable
warmth:
Yes, sir, it did; it hit me-
''That's rightr' exclaimed the mason
in tones of undisguised admiration;
noble man! would rather have
wasted a thousand bricks than have
you tell me lie about it."-Tit-B;ts.

What He Did tn ~Hau,1.% -

A group of actors at the Players
Club were once engaged in a discus
sion as to the ability and impartiality
OF certain professional critics of the
drama, when the late Maurice Barry
more referred to certain Denver Jour
nalist who was widely known for his
dramatic criticisms. Hayward" said
Mr.. barrymore, was certainly one of
the ablest of them. He wrote most
learnedly, with the keenest ANALYSIS
of every phase of the actors art. and,
above all, with no little wit. / am
Just reminded of what was. perhaps.
the briefest dramatic criticism ever
penned. It will probably outlive every
thing else Hayward did. 1t ran about

Photosraphing Insects in Flight.

Some recently invented chronophoto-
graphic cameras by Lucien Bull, of
Paris, take successive pictures at rates
of from 1000 to 1000 second. The
source of light is the spark of an in
duction coil, which, it is calculated, en-
dures only about one twc-millionth of
second, so that with improved mech
anlsm the successive images could be
taken at far more rapid rate than is
now employed. Six hundred imag es
per second, however, suffice to show
clearly the moving wings of a dragon
ny, and with HOO or 1900 images per
second, sharp pictures have been OBJ
tanned of bees and house flies in flight.

oome OF the examples of hidden
wealth given by the writer's of the

at any rate be large one. 1t is not,
apparently, the custom of companies
to search very far for the owners OF
Unclaimed dividends. Occasionally

Unclaimed amounts. In the case of

SINCE our brief suggestion that the
contract for building the three iron
bridges recently ordered by the Fiscal
Court be let at public out cry to the
lowest responsible bidder, we have
had quite a good deal of inquiry con-
cerning the mode of letting the con-
tract for the construction of bridges
recently constructed and the cost of
same. We have made some inquiry
and searched the records to some
extent but have not yet been able to
satisfy our own mind about the mat
ter, hence of course we cannot in
form the public just yet, but hope
to be able to soon. If any reader
can give us this little bit of informa-
ton we would be very much pleased
to have them do so.

THE recent naval victory Of the
japanese forces over that of the
Russians presents quite an interest
ing phase, indeed to Russia it per-
haps reduces matters to an alarming
phase. If Japan is enabled to final
ly dictate terms of peace, which
now seems probable, Russia will be
compelled to surrender her only port
on the Pacific coast that can be en-
tered during the winter season of the
year. Vladivostok would have to
be handed over to the Japs and Rus
sia would be left without an outlet
on the Pacific. Russia has planned
and schemed for many years for an
opening on the Pacific, free from ice
bergs and began the war in the hope
that she would be enabled to retain
Port Arthur, IAN outlet which is acces-
sable during the entire year, but this
has long since passed from her and
if she should be compelled to yield
Vladivostok she would be left in a
hopeless condition so far as her great
desire and important necessity, an
eastern outlet, is concerned. 1t is a
great stake that Russia is playing
for and defeat at last means total
loss of an opening on the Pacifc-an
immeasurable loss,
