Night Window Shoppino,

''I used to think the money spent for light in show windows from closing time till morning was wasted" said q Fifth avenue merchant, "but l have changed my mind about it, and now keep my windows lighted until a. m efery night but Sunday. l took the trouble to make some investigations as to the value of shop windows before l changed my method I found that in daytime, when the streets are filled, no one has time for more than a glance at the displays.

Man and the Horse.

Men are apt to say severe things of the absurdities to which many women will submit at the hehest of fashion. but, really. they are every Lit as bad. A good horse has a naturally arched neck, an inferior one has not. But the owner of the latter must pretend that his sorry steed is blessed with blood, and to effect the deceit he slaps on a monstrous bearing rein and defies pub lie opinion. A London earman, who is in many things bit of a brute, will ease his horse when going up hill by removing the reins which keep it's head up, but whoever saw the same kindness extended to horse drawing a brougham! The same slayish fol lowing of fashion marks the attention to the horses tail The thoroughbred has his threequarter length bush, so have the matched pair for the brough am, but what man would drive a cob which had tail bigger than a half expanded fan?-St. James Ga Zette.

Wood Burners In Paris.

Despite all modern improvements, Paris still heats its offices and it's houses to large exteut with wood. It's bakers and confectioners use hard ly anything else for fuel. It burns up whole forests of timber every year, and extensive forests in several re. gions of France are reserved for SUD- plying 1t with fuel. Coal is scarce in France and dear and not of very good quality. Besides, the Parlsians are con- servative in home matters. The cheery appearance of the glowing log on the hearth appeals to them, and most like ly generations will pass before they give up burning wood altogether Philadelphia North American.

A Tel!tale Nail,

Dr. John Dome. the famous English divine and poet, who lived in the reign of James l., was veritable Sherlock Holmes in bent of mind.
 He was walking in the churchyard while grave was being dug when the sexton cast up moldering skull. The doctor idly took 1t up, and, in handling 1t, found headless nail driven into ir. This he managed to take out and con ceal in his handkerchief. It was evi. dent to him that murder had been done He questioned the sexton and learned that the skull was probably that of certain man who was the proprietor of brandy shop and was a drunkard be- ing found dead in bed one morning after night i'll which he had drunk two quarts of brandy.
 "Had he wife?" asked the doctor.
 "Yes."
 "What character does she bear?"
 "She bore a very good character, only the neighbors gossiped because she married the day after her husbands funeral. She still lives here" k>sThe doctor soon called on the woman. He asked for and received the particu- Jars of the death of her first husband. Suddenly opening his handkerchief, he showed her the telltale nail, asking in 8 loud voice:
 Madam, do you know this nail?''
 The woman was so surprised that she confessed and was tried and exc cuted.

Evidence Next Month on
Brownsville Amair.

WASHINGTON, Jan. A-Testimony con-
cerning the ARRAY at Brownsville. Tex,
will be taken by the full senate committee
on military AFFAIRS, beginning February T.
Subpoenas will be issued at once for of1i-
GERS of the discharged negro battalion and

As the court-martial Of some OF the men
involved will be held in Texas on the same
date the committee may examine part OF
these men prior to February T. No counsel
will be permitted to attend the hearings
representing any Of the parties interested.
In order to expedite the taking OF testi-
mony, however. It was agreed that some
member of the committee, probably Senator
Foraker, will conduct the case, insofar as
II is a trial, on behalf Of the enlisted men.
Other members of the committee will be
privileged to cross-examine the men. This
procedure was agreed upon to keep the
examinations within bounds.
The question OF sending a subcommittee
TO Brownsville was discussed. but no de-
cision reached.
Senator Warner. chairman Of the COM
mittee, said the matter could be taken up
at another time, as It was not certain It
will be necessary to take testimony at
Brownsville. None Of the controversy
which developed during the consideration
of the resolution in the senate was mani
tested in the committee.
