LIVING IN A MAGIC HOUSE.
Electricity the Agent that Makes Il the
Town Wonder.

Electricity the Agent that Makes II the
Town Wonder.
A citizen of Troyes has constructed
a house for himself which Is the won
der of the town and, It might be add
ed, OF France. Naturally, the wonder
Is accomplished by means OF electric
ity. There are electric wires to every
part OF the house and garden and such
a number of ingenious contrivances
that 1t looks as IL he had almost
solved the domestic servant problem.
A telephone connects every part OF
the premises with the garden gate.
AS soon as visitor rings he hears
the inquiry, Who is there?' When
he has given his name the master well
comes him through the telephone and
the gate opens, and again closes when
the visitor has entered. In the vesti-
bule, before he Is aware OF 1t, magic
brushes clean his boots, and the door
opens automatically, while myster-
ious voice tells him where to find the.
master of the house. The latter may
be In his study taking cup Of tea and
the visitor has only to express wish
when second cup OF tea appears on
the table In answer to the pressure OF
the button. Meals are served in the
same way, and come automatically
from the kitchen, newspapers and
letters are deposited on the drawing
room table as soon as they are drop
ped In box near the garden gate and
most Of the provisions for the kitchen
are introduced in the same expeditions
way. Heat and light, Of course. are
distributed at will all over the house,
and at night guest may have warm
bottles at his feet by merely pressing
a button.
The inventor OF the magic house
has. not yet altogether dispensed with
servants, but while waiting for their
entire abolition he Is constantly with
In earshot OF the maid, the cook and
the gardener, and the ubiquitous tele-
phone transmits to him faithfully
every word they say to each other,
with the result that they dare not say
one disparaging word about their
master unless they are miles away
from him.

Revenge for Being Discharged.
Her two weeks notice having ex-
pired, the chorus girl was seen weep
ing bitterly in corner. 1T isn't tina,

said, ''but the manager refuses to pay
me my salary until Monday, and /
need the money badly"
Later, when questioned, the manag.
er said it was unfortunately true that
they were compelled to withhold pay
ment of discharged employees until
they were certain everything was all
right
For instance" he continued, last
season we had two sisters here. They
were show girls and wore magnificent
gowns. They were discharged after
time and their salaries were duly
paid them. Hardly were they out OF
the theater when the wardrobe wo-
man came running to me with the
girls dresses. They had. deliberately
hacked them with knives or other
sharp instruments and the gowns
were D0yOuQ repair. vi COuTS0 we
could have had them arrested, but it
would bring unpleasant notoriety to
the company.
Another girl begged so hard and
wept so copiously that suspended
the rule in her case and paid her of.

shops with young man and she gave
me the merry laugh. Her boots.

dressing room with the Innings torn
out and the leather slashed in sew

with their salaries paid have devel-
oped the habit of walking of with
some other girls makeup box or any
stray trinkets that might be lying
around. We were compelled in self
protection, therefore, to put off the
payments until the following Monday.

Trimmed Armhole Liked.

The trimmed armhole, with shoulder
line falling well over the sleeve top,
is particularly liked for models of the
guimpe class, and this class is very
large one, especially as it relates to
lingerie frocks. The jumper and kim
dred modes are far too convenient and
pretty to be put aside after but one
season Of popularity. and the enthusi-
asm with which they have been taken
up again this year speaks well for
ability to hold the well-dressed wo-
mans affections.

HOW THE JAPANESE WORK.
Have Sort Of Perpetual Motion With
No SUNDAY Rest.

nave oort OF FerPetudi Motton WIKI
No Sunday Rest.
In Japan Sunday is not regarded
and the mills do not stop for the day
The majority of the mills have two
holidays--the LIST and the 18th. In
many mills the engine starts at +
o'clock in the morning of the "a
and runs continuously until 6 o'clock
the morning of the 18th, then starts
at o'clock on the morning Of the
18th and runs continuously until =
o'clock the morning of the LIST.
This is as near perpetual motion as
men and machines can stand. No stop
fs made for dinner, the hands taking
thirty minutes for dinner in rotation,
and spare hands taking the place OF
each batch. Each operative works
from o'clock to 6 o'clock, with thirty
minutes for dinner, and the night shift
comes on at 6 o'clock. Thirteen 10
sixteen twelve-hour days on stretch
necessarily make the hands slower
and less efficient.
Though they do not observe the
Lords rest day, good number of the
mills have by experience come to see
the material good that comes from
having one day in seven for rest, and
one of the largest groups of mills OBJ
serves the 4th, 18th, 18th and 25th OF
each month, but do not, as customary
with us, allow a third or half Of sthe
previous day for rest also.

national holidays, of which there are
about ten, are observed by the mills.
SO that even in the mills making a
practice Of stopping only two daya or
rest the holidays effect stop of one
or two days more per month.
The hours of work and the number
OF rest days vary with the locality and
the mill. Each mill has its own sys-
tenn, and though they work together

MIGHTY CONFLICT
ON THE GRDIR0N

Harvard, Nov. 22.-Tomorrow
the climax of the foot ball season in
the United States will be reached with
the annual contest for supremacy be-
tween Harvard and Yale. While the
game will be played at Cambridge
and the crimson eleven will be spur
red on by a majority of the enthus-
iastic fans, the belief is almost gen.
eral among football authorities that
the Ellis will be victorious. In the
contests against Brown and Spring
field Training school. Yale made
much better showing than Harvard.
While these games afford the only
direct basis of comparison, the Ellis
have apparently shown up stronger
in nearly all their games than has
Harvard. The defeat of the Grim
sons by Carlisle was a heavy blow
from which the Harvard rooters
have not yet recovered. The Yale
men will swoop down their strong
hold of their ancient enemy with
their hearts full of hope and their
to reports. will be willing to back
the Ellis with real money at only
reasonable odds.
While all the surface indications
point to a certain Yale victory. there
are a few-a very few-authorities
on the great college game who be-
lieve that the battle will have a diff
ferent ending than that popularity
anticipated. Admitting that Har-
ward has not made a good showing so /

WHAT DO THE
PEOPLE MEAN?

Some weeks ago New York actor
Raymond Hitchcock, was arrested
charged with revolving crime. He
has been previously indicted by a
grand jury to which. in the opinion
of that body, evidence sufficient to
warrant a conviction had been pre-
sented. After being arrested Hitch
cock disappeared. Nobody apparent
ly knew where he was for about a
week. On the day set for his pre-
liminary hearing, however, he ap-
peared and entered a plea of not
guilty, being later released OH bail.
He at once resumed his place at the
head of his company, and here is an
account. telegraphed from New York
or his reception at the performance
that evening:
The play proceeded regularly un-
til Hitchcock made his appearance.
He enters at the head of a chorus.
The first sign of him was the signal
Tor another greater outburst of
cheering. shouting and handclapping
He could say or do nothing while for
nine minutes the noise continued
Then he went on as best as he could
every time he spoke being greeted
by great applause and every effort
: being made apparently by those pres
ent to show that they were with him.
| Possibly all that was nothing
in real sentimental feeling to the mo-
ment when Hitchcock and his wife
were seen together on the stage. The
manner of approval by the audience
of this cannot be well described

audience was used. Stamping, whist
ling, shouting. and handclapping
kept up for long, long time. Then
the audience permitted the play to
go on, breaking in, however, to ap-
plaud violently whenever it seemed
good time to do it for the benefit
of Hitchcock or his Wife"
If Hitchcock had unaided won a
battle on which the welfare of the
nation depended. If he had single
handed annihilated All, enemy's army
or fleet. he could hardly have been
received more cordially. The specta-
Gle that the New York audience made
of itself was more than unpleasant,
1t was Disgusting; it was utterly ur-
worthy of Americans. How will those
people feel, II they possess any ca
nacity at all for decent feelings, II
Hitchcock is convicted and sent to
prison for a long term OF years?
1t is true that he has not as yet
been convicted, but the grand jury,
at least, is of the opinion that he is
guilty. The Herald has no desire
to condemn him in advance of his
trial. He may be the victim of coz
spiracy, as he claims, but guilty or
innocent, he should have the decency
to sit tight until he is either con-
yicted or acquitted. And the New
Workers should have had the de-
cency to show their disapproval of
/ his indecency by remaining away
from the theater. or at least by re-
fusing to make hero out of him.
