Gil was held Monday night. Those

Bracke, Dewey, Lane, Enke and

When the bill for FIVE white rubber
coats for the ire chiefs was brought
up, Chief Emder explained that the
coats we're tery good but that they
should be some longer. As the city
has thirty days to either accept or
refuse the coats they will be ex-
changed for the longer ones.
Alderman Enka stated that he had
made some Investigations as to the
purchase of screecher whistle, and
that q six-inch size conld be purchased
for $2) and that an eight-inch one
could bs bought for $50. Chief Emder
said he hoped that a whistle would be
procured but advised getting the
larger whistle for the small difference
in price between them. The plan is
to have the whistle placed on the
papsr mill No doubt, the whistle
win be procured az the fire bell is
not heard by members of the depart
q fair number of 6remen must be out

The Dietinx Nui.ance.

The dieting fad prevails to such an
extent In England that numbers of
well known hostesses have put their
heads together and drawn up a declar-
alton of independence, This sent out
with all invitations to country houses
reads thus: II am sorry to appear In
hospitable, but my housekeeper and
cook cannot arrange to cater for any
guest who Is obliged to diet" The
food faddist, it seems, has become no
end of a nuisance in other peoples
houses, and though the hostesses might
be willing to endure it, the servants
have risen in revolt. Complications
arise when it Is necessary to feed at
the same table the carnivorous, the
gramnivorous and the frugivorous.-

When Louis XVI. laid his head be-
Meath the guillotine, his confessor,
Able Edgeworth, dismissed him from
the world, so history tells, with "Son
Of Saint Louis, ascend to heaven!" yet
In reality he said nothing of the sort.
The brave defiance, THE guard dies,
but never surrenders," attributed to
Cambronne when, at Waterloo, the i'm
perial guard were ordered to throw
down their arms, has been shown to
have been the fanciful creation of some
historians mind; and the saying,
Providence favors the stronger side
or, as 1t has been corrupted, God Is on
the side with the heaviest artillery
which has been attributed to Napoleon
really originated with writers of an
tiquity. Cicero alludes to it as an "old
proverb."
1t would take volumes to contain al
the blunders, small, large and indif
ferent, that historians have made, ant
the lamentable part Of 1t Is that thu
old plumbers are constantly being mad
over again
