GOVERNMENT LIGHT
historic calcKAMAUcA PARK
A7LAzE WITH ILLUMINATION.

United States systen Of lighting Milf
tary Post Pronounced GratifyinRly
succesafuI--Sfx and One-Half Mites
OF Mains sixty-Five Street Lights.
Chiekamauga Park, Ga, May 31.-The
United States Government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
itary post at the entrance OF the his
torical Chickamauga battlefield, where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle Of September 10 and 20, 1868,
contains about one hundred buildings,
the seventy principal ones of which
are lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles Of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street lamps
brilliantly illuminate the avenues Of
the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were so
gratifying and the superiority of the
illuminant so evident that the Govern
ment, March 20, 1904. placed the con-
tract for the Chickamauga plant, in
which every citizen of the United States
should have his pro. rata Of pride.
But the Government has not confined
its acceptance of acetylene to this MILF
tary post. Since becoming satisfied Of
the efficiency, superiority and econom-
ical advantages of this particular IL
luminant, the United States has in
stalled a number Of plants in Indian
schools and other Government insti-
buttons.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as we'll as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t Is made by the contact of
water and carbide "a manufactured
product for sale at nominal price,, is
absolutely safe and gives beautiful
white light soothing to the eyes and
nerves. 1t eau be produced anywhere
lin the farm home, the village store,
the town hall, the church-and is SO
easily maintained as to be practical for
all classes.
1t is matter for national congratu-
lation that in identifying SO historic
a spot as Chickamauga. nothing but the
best, including the lighting system, has
been deemed good enough for the
American people.

legend Of the ostrich.

Among the Arabs there is a curious
legend to account for the ostrich's resi-
dence in the desert. ION a certain day
appointed" so the story runs, "all Gre
ated beings met together to decide upon
their respective order and precedence.
All went smoothly until the ostrich,
pleading its inability to fly, disowned
the birds and claimed to take rank with
the mammals. These, however, would
have nothing to say to creature
clothed not with fur, but with feathers,
while the birds, when the ostrich went
dejectedly back, repudiated it also as a
traitor to its race. But the ostrich
was equal to the occasion and declared
that being neither mammal not bird
1t must be an angel. At this all the
other animals Indignantly rushed upon
the ostrich and drove it before them
into the desert, where it has lived in
solitude ever since, with no one to
contradict it."-Chicago News.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor, and Cen
eral Sherman were great friends. Up
on certain occasion Jefferson called
upon the General, says writer in
Lippincott's. After pleasant chat
Jefferson rose to go, and General Sher-
man caught sight of sheet of paper
under the chair where the actor had
been sitting.
Jefferson he called, picking up the
paper and carrying it to the door,
s'you dropped this, think"
Jefferson took the sheet with an eff
fusion of thanks that was astonishing.
"NIy dear General" he exclaimed,
''you have saved my life!'
ut seems to me you're rather care
less to carry such valuable papers
around so loosely replied the General
in surprise.
Jefferson laughed, and unfolding the
paper revealed its contents. 1t was
the manuscript of the opening pages
of the great actors autobiography.

FOR sErTEE ANp HAMMOCK.

Ideal for porch settee or hammock,
or. indeed, for the furnishing of SUM
mer parlor, are the grass pillows now
to be noted among housefurnishing
goods. These pillows are woven of
gayly-colored grasses, in plaids of red
and green, and in the natural color.
and their filling is also of sweet clean
grass, so that there is nothing dusty or
Objectionable anywhere about them.
If they are caught in a shower it
won't hurt them. and when they get
dirty you just wipe them off with a
damp rag.
They are wonderfully attractive, not
quite so soft as down, but very COM
Portable for all that, and their price
is only fifty cents.

at last.
1t is all aluminium, including the han

groups, each group protected by a
bevel of metal, SO that the water can
not soak into the back of the brush.
Brushes can also be had with wood
en- handles, but with a similar group

backs. One can see at glance the
superiority Of this new brush over the
old ones. and its cost is but little more.

CARPET IN SUPERB DESIGNS.

Colonial danes, the genuine article
of colonial days, fine ladies' and good
housewives of old would be amazed at
the vogue of the rag carpet Of today,
which was never before considered so
distinctly smart as now. The rag car
pet helps TO furnish summer bunga-
lows, mountain camps and seaside cot
tages, says the New York Sun. 1t is
made into large rugs for entire floors
and into smaller ones to so over pol
ished wood or filling. 1t is to be found
by the yard in various widths.
Rag carpet, to be sure, goes by a
different name these days than former
ly, but as a .'rag-style" carpet it is
still hit or miss and as much of d mys-
terry as in its early days. 1t is more
often now, however, made up with an
idea Of the effect, and different mate
rails are used to produce the desired
result A charming rug is made of
outing and canton fannels The warp
of the rug is white, while the wool is
of the outing flannel colors. The tones
are soft pink or pale green, with the
white canton flannel woven in for a
velvety border at each end. One must
see to appreciate the beauty of a white
canton flannel rag carpet.
There is the ordinary rag carpet
made of simple materials and in one or
two or many colors, and the more eiab-
crate one made of fine materials. Into
the latter so velvet, silk damasks,
tapestries and woods. Cretonnes are
woven into others, combined with a
plain warp. A rag-style rug which is
charming is woven of Singapore lat
tice.
