USEFUL, IF NOT QUITE pnEASANE

USEFUL, IF NOT QUITE PIEASANE'
 Verify, we are hard to please. We were not pleased with the continuous performance of the rain. Then the rain stopped continuously performing, and we had two days and half of about the brightest and hottest sum shine that has been observed around here since we found out that the sun was cooling off and would be cool in two or three million years. The hearty sunniness of the sun didn't please us. though it did give a check to mill dew. Then yesterday it rained again, and that didn't wholly suit us. We thought there had been rain enough and that the streets had been flushed enough for awhile.
 We have said nothing about the nights that have been bestowed on us since Sunday. It would be supereroga- tory to complain of them after the complaining that has been done. But while we admit that neither the days nor nights spoken of have been gen. erally cheering, we are not so far gone in criticism of things as they are that we cannot see the gold In the sunshine and the silver in the moonshine. They have gone into corn at great rate, and they will be found there in tho time of the harvest. Good weather for corn may not always be appreciated as it ought to be, but 1t is good weather for corn all the same. Filled with this thought, as Lecturer stoddard used to say, let us go on,

r1nEpnooF HOUSES IN 4 HURRY

FIREPROOF HOUSES IN fl HURRY.
 Edison's mind is forever busy when | 1t is awake, and it doesn't seem to be asleep much. One of his latest notions is to build whole houses of solid con- crete. moulded at a single casting, which will provide cosy homes for workingmen at a cost of from $500 to $500. Describing the plan in detail, the inventor says: The first step will be to employ an architect to design, say, a dozen dwelling houses of different pat terms l purpose to have metallic lmoulds made to correspond. The mould for each house will be made in detach- able parts. There will be separate plates and small moulds that can be screwed together easily to form one mould for an entire house. That a fine finish may be obtained, the inside surface of the parts will be nickel-E ated. After the mould for the whole house is set up it will be simple matter to pump the concrete into every nook and cranny. After four days the parts of the mould will be unscrewed and taken off, and the solid concrete house will remain.
 MT. Edison says he has already con-  ceived every detail of the project and intends to make his first practical exA perirnents next year in the new village which he is organizing for one of his manufacturing plants in New Jersey. Four days at the outside is the period which he estimates will be necessary to cast and turn out whole houses with from eight to ten rooms each, complete in almost every detail and ready to be furnished and carpeted. The actual time for pumping in the concrete" will be only few hours, but three or four days will be required to dry out and solidify the structures. He pur- poses to have ornamental designs for the dormer windows, chimneys, etc. The houses will be fireproof
 There doesn't seem to be anything the matter with this notion, and it does seem to be full of promise.

 questions having been raised recently at the Paris Nipple Congress, it Is de- sirable to create a center for the study of all matters relating either to horse racing or to horse breeding. Hence the organization of the consultative com- mittee. M. Ruau has chosen the mem- bers chiefly from the Conseil superieur des Haras, from the stud-book commis- sions, and from the owners and breed- CTS of horses. He himself will oe presi- dent. The membership includes many well-known names besides the presi- dents of the different racing clubs.

THE MOST FAVORED GLASS.
The Position of Labor Far Better Than Ever Before.

Than Ever Before.
 When the hysterical gravely bid us believe that the Iaboring man In Amer lea is a slave; that the condition of the ordinary worker Is too wretched for contemplation; that things are going from bad to worse with us, and that the American republic is a failure and the government hateful oppressor, people of common sense have the ad- vantage of being able to save their or guments and to denominate the libels as sheer mendacitIes,
 The reckless have the audacity to say that the condition of the ordinary man. and especially of the laboring man, is depIorable and becoming worse. On this ground there is a de- mand for 'readjustment." Labor is not to be criticized for desiring or for seeking the greatest possible rewards, but honest men will not have the hard ihood to deny that labor never in the history of the world received such golden rewards as it does to-day, And the position of labor Is not only actually but relatively better now than in any former times. There is more work and wages are not only higher, but ave increased, particularly in skilled trades, more rapidly than have the wages of other classes of workers.
 So well known is this that the price of almost everything into which labor enters largely in determining the cost such as houses and the material used in houses-is now far above the price of ten years ago,
 Labor is, in fact, the most favored

Officers of the army and the navy who have charge of construction say they will have hard time this year in pulling through with the work author ized for the sums available by appro- priation from congress. This state of affairs is due to the increase in the price of labor and material all over the country. This is serious matter, es- pecially as the appropriations for the next fiscal year for construction every where have been severely cut. The ef- feet will be observable in the modifica- tions of many plans which are tenta- lively drawn with some reasonable ex- pectation that they could be carried out when congress made the appropriation on the original estimate. It begins to look as if many of the projects could not be completed in the manner desired or planned for anything like the origi- nal estimates.

ONE OF THE QUEER ONES.

Men are certainly queer beings, and lit is not wonderful that they are not understood by the women who so blind
 ly love and trust them. Louis Link of
 New York is one of the queer ones, He
 married Mrs. Link when she weighed 13O pounds. She now weighs 225 pounds,
 and she has had to get a divorce from Mir. Link because he does not love her
 and has left her. She says: My hus-
 band has been neglecting me long time. He doesn't take me to balls and parties as he used to, and am tired of his inattention and evident lack of af- lection for me-" And he says: Eight cen years ago, when I was married, my wife was small and handsome. Every year she has grown stouter, heavier. have spent hundreds of dollars on anti fat and medicines to reduce her weight, but It's no use. She continues to grow. Maybe sometime when she becomes
 small again, as she used to be, we shall
 be remarked"
 What do you think of that? Pleased and satisfied with 130 pounds of good-
 ness and sweetness, and disgusted with 225 pounds of the same! Surely the way of man with woman is past finding out.

HoRSE-RACING IN FIR 4NCE.

Horse racing in France is quite seri- ous business. A permanent consulta- tive racing committee has been formed by the French minister of agriculture, M. Ruau, in order more than ever to place horse racing in that country un- der State jurisdiction. The present racing associations, and notably the Societe Encouragement, are already, by the law of 1891, under State juris- diction. But government intervention has been mainly exercised in the mat ter of financial control The sporting societies have been left virtually free to manage the races as they liked, and M. Ruau acknowledges that they have for the most part done well. He thinks. however, that inasmuch as horse racing in Franc is undergoing rapid changes, many pertinent new

STREET CAR AND pRosKY.
The Two Ways of Getting Around in
 St. Petersburg.

The Two Ways of Getting Around in
 St. Petersburg.
 The street car system of St. Peters, burg is owned by the municipality, which took it over from a private cor poration about two years ago, paying 400 per cent. premium for the stock. It has been an exceedingly profitable en- terprise, but pays smaller profits since the government took charge because it is not run on such an economical ba- sis, the fares have been reduced one- half, wages have been increased and passengers are given tranfers on all connecting lines. It is managed by a committee of the common council. The receipts average about $15 per car daily. The cars are about the size of those used in Chicago, but have seats on the deck as well as well as inside and can carry thrice as many passengers. The inside fare averages cent mile and outside fares about 1A cents. The cars are drawn by two horses, general ly on certain lines three, and at the bridges a hill horse is added to the team. St. Petersburg is as level as Chicago. There are no hills except the approaches to the bridges over the river and the canals with which the city is watered in every dirAetion, and the traffic is economically handled. It is very heavy in the morning and the evening hours when the working peo- pie are going between their homes and places of employment.
 The more prosperous classes patron- ize droskys, miniature victorias pecu- liar to Russia. Formerly they were only large enough for a single person, but gradually the seats have been growing wider until now two slender people can sit very comfortable in a drosky. The wheels are small, the

A Hindu father recently received the following letter asking for the hand of his daughter: Dear Sir-It is with a flattering penmanship that I write to have communication with you about the prospective condition of your dam- sel offspring. For some remote time to past, a secret passinn has firing my bosom internally with loving for your daughter. I have navigated every channel in the magnitude of my exten- sive jurisdiction to cruelty smother the growing love-knot that is being con- structed in my within side, but the humid love of affection still nourishes my love-sickened heart Hoping that you will concordantly corroborate in espousing your female progeny to my tender bosom and thereby acquire ne into your family circle, Your dutifuI son-in-Law,"

Indoor pauperisln is said, in the Brit fsh official record, to have grown rap- idly in England and Wales since 1900. During the last eleven years the cost Of indoor relief has increased S6 per cent, while the increase in the num- Der of paupers has been only 36 per cent. The annual cost of maintenance per head increased from about $65 in 1895 to about 80 In 1905. There had also been large increase In the aver- age cost of maintenance of work-house inmates.

Charles c. Drueding has written an article in the Journal of Pharmacy on chamois skins. The commercial article of that name, he says, Is really oil tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The supply of skins from the chan1ois ani- nal is very limited-enough could not be obtained in year to supply the United States for more than single day. He made special inquiry on a re- cent visit to Switzerland about the an- nual crop of the chamois skin and as- certained that from 5000 to e,0oO skins would be a fair average yearly crop. This skin is heavier than the skin of the sheep or lamb, also much coarser. For strength and durability the cham ois skin Is preferable, but for ordinary use and appearance the oil tanned sheepskin lining would in most in- stances be preferred.

Coal as an ornament in jewelry is being used in Japan. According to the Astrological Journal, only the hardest and most perfect of the bits are used, and the workers in coal from whom the jewellers obtain their supply make a practice of saving for them certain pieces, often not more than two OF three of the required quality being found each day. Of course, this black diamond jewelry is very inexpensive, but at the same time It Is pretty and a novelty as we'll
