SorroNxs of IN Artist.

A first class journeyman tailor who
is both sensitive and ambitious must
have more than his share of sadness
and heartache. The completeness with
which he is ignored by those who are
made happy by his workmanship can
not fail to cause him mental agony.
The bosses know him and appreciate
his work, and so do his fellow crafts
men, but that is all. Beyond them he
is unknown. unthought Of His work
goes out into the world to delight and
to be admired. but it brings to him
neither fame nor praise. He is no
more thought of or considered by those
who wear with pride garment he
made than the sheep is from whose
back the wool was sheared that went

His Yankee Thrift.

A Massachusetts man tells q story of
"Old John" Langley. veteran Worces-
ter horseman, that is illustrative of
Yankee astuteness.
One day Langley sought his tailor
and in somewhat profane terms de-
manded "a pair of breaches of the best
stuff in the shop" OF the many
samples submitted Old John hit upon a
beautiful silky broadcloth. the most
costly piece of goods the tailor had,
and. although this was most insult
able for the purpose, Langley insisted
that it was just what he wanted. Fur
thermore. he declared that he desired

The tailor expostulated in vain, but
the trousers were made as per speci
fications and delivered.
A day or so thereafter a friend, call
ing on Langley. remarked on the trou
sers in uncomplimentary language.
Langley said he was satisfied. More
guyipg resulted in an offer from Old
John to bet $50 that the cloth cost
more per yard than that in his friends
trousers. The bet was taken and the
tailor was to decide it. He named the
price The friend would not believe
that the rough goods could be so cost
ly until he was shown the shiny silky
side Then he paid, as other men had
on similar bets. so that Old John reap

STORE WINDOW LIGHTS.
Regulations For Their Control as
Applied In Berlin.


Applied In Berlin.
The regulation of artificial lighting
in connection with window displays is
a subject which has been given com
pdratiyely little attention by the mu-
inequalities of this country, considering
purpose in these days. That this
phase of the lighting question demands
closer scrutiny there can be no doubt.
and it might be well for information
on the matter to look to those cities
which have given it study. Stringent
regulations have been adopted in Der

merchants were inclined to take ad-
vantage of laXity in the premises. In

PRETTY POTATO COOKERY.
Many Attractive Ways in Which This

at the Table.

Notc-Potatoes should always be
boiled in cold sailed water.
Potatoes Chateau.-Peel potatoes
and cut them the shape and size of
pigeons eggs. Plunge them into cold
water, rinse again, and put them on
to boil for a few moments only. Drain
and put them in a stew pan containing
some butter, let them brown in this,
carefully tossing them at intervals.
When done pour out all the butter
and put in a fresh piece, adding a
littlo chopped parsley. Serve in a hot
vegetable dish or use for decorating
meats.
Potatoes Baked in Cream.-Remove
the skins from boiling potatoes and
chop them up when cold. Put them
in a saucepan with cream, season with
salt and pepper. and cook until done.

over some melted butter, and brown
over the surface in the oven. These
must be eaten hot.

desired shape. Lay them In a but

THE SKY SIGNS OF PARIS.
Of Late Years the City Has Broken
Out Overhead in Electric
Nominations.

The other evening | was dining
with a Partisan who had been abroad
for several years. and asked him what
had impressed him most on his re-
turn. says a writer in st. James
Gazette. When | went away peo'
pie called tea '%tilleul, and drank 1t
when they were i'll. They had new
er heard the name of toast in those
days. and pains grilles' were things
to be eaten sparingly with chocolate
after the theater. AS for the cleo
trio sky signs, they make me quite
giddy on the b~ouievards now. 1t is
quite true. Paris. OF late years, has
broken out everywhere into electric
sky signs. and If the craze for them
continues it will be useless for a shop
to advertise its whereabouts except
with lettering which can be illuml'
mated at night. On the Place de
HOpera and all along the boulevard5
the sky signs twinkle in and out like
gigantic ca~terEtllars in a made Christ
mas pantomime, some lighting all al
once, others letter by letter, others
again lighting in different colors, and
going out at one end as the other
end is illuminated. AS for the cine
matograph displays On curtains, these
have become comparatively common,
and the crowds which used to gather
outside and stare up at the Theatre
Robert Houdin now have a round
half.dozen moving picture shows to
choose from, and nothing to pay for
any of them. We shall soon be quite
Londonized if we do not happen to
become Americanized first.

MUTINY ON THE LAKE

Detroit, Sept. 25.-Firemen on the
steamer c. B. Hill. formerly the An
Choir liner Delaware, and on her first
trip of the season from Cleveland to
Fort William with package freight,
mutinied when the boat was abreast
of Belle Isle, and refused to keep up
steam unless Captain J. H. Coleman
agreed to return to Detroit
The steamer sprang a leak in heavy
sea in Lake Erie and took in some
water at the stern The firemen al
legged that she was unseaworthy. Cap
tain Coleman, after a conference with
the men, returned to this city and tied
up at wharf. The captain says that
the leak did not amount to anything,
and that no members of the crew ex-
cept the firemen made any complaint.

The Inference.
Business on Hand,

Many people are going about with
a cheerful smile and a light head as
though wholly unaware of the fact that
the serious business of electing a con-
gresham is before them this fall.
They go to watering places. also to
buttermilking places and several other
places that might be mentioned, Civ
ing no thought to the serious business
of self government to which they must
soon attend.
Apparently, as far as they are con-
cerned, any old dub will do for a con-
gresham, but the roar they put up
when congress meets and does not pass
a bill to pension their mothers-in-law is
calculated to make people a block
away think that some one is trying
the horn of his new auto on the
natives. Eternal vigilance may be the
price of liberty, but a careful search
of their clothes would not disclose the
price.
