REDUCING LIGHT BILLS.
How the Users of Electricity Can Save
Money.

TOW tne users or Electrlclty Ian SaVe
Money.
The incandescent electric lamp is one
of the most commonly known and SIM
plest household devices with which
we have to deal. The lamp in general
use Is labeled sixteen candlepOwer, and
the average user of these lamps is
generally contented With the mere
knowledge of how to turn his light on
and off. He will undoubtedly grumble
at times at the amount of his monthly
bill for lighting and will often be in
convenienced by the dimness of some
of his lamps, but the deficiency In light
is made good by turning on another
lamp, and the monthly bill is further
increased, says the Technical World.
1t probably would never occur to him
that it would be an actual economy in
dollars and cents to throw away his
old lamps and provide new ones at his
own expense, and yet such is the
case.
The smashing point cannot be ac-
curately determined for any lamp with
out rather extensive tests, but in gen
eral it is not necessary to determine
its accuracy. A variation of one or
two candlepower will hardly be per-
ceptible under the ordinary conditions.
1t is only when the lamp falls off three
or four candlepower that its dimness
becomes appreciable, and it is a safe
rule to follow, and it will prove more
economical to buy new lamp rather
than burn an old one after it's dfminu-
ton in candlepower becomes noticea-
bic. By this is meant that it will be
more economical for the amount of
light obtained, because as the lamps
fall off in candlepower more lamps
must be burned to obtain the original
amount of light. If the reduced guam
tity of light from old lamps is suffi-
cient-as, for example, i'll halls and
clOsets-it would still be cheaper to
throw out the old lamps and replace
them with new ones of smaller candle
power

How to Make Marzipan.

MarZipan is a favorite Sweetmeat in
both France and Germany at Christ
mas time, and to make one pound of it
take half a pound of lump sugar, half
pound of ground sweet almonds, four
ia ablespoonfuls of cold water, little
cochineal and any other coloring that
is required.
Put the sugar and water into clean
enareled saucepan, and while stirring
it continually bring it to the boil and
let it boil until it reaches threading"
point. This stage can be ascertained
without Il sweet thermometer in the
following manner: Dip the first finger
and thumb into cold water, and then
take up a little of the boiling mixture
from the side of the spoon. Press the
thumb and finger together, and If. when
they are parted, white thread is seen
between them, the mixture is ready for
the next process.
Now pour the almonds into the boil
ing sugar, and stir the mixture for a
minute or two. Then put this paste
into a basin for few minutes to cool.
Take up the paste and press and
squeeze it with the hands until it looks
oily. If colored marzipan is required.
divide the paste into as many parts as
are wanted, and pour in little color
ing matter and work it in with the
hands until the color is quite even.
Then roll out the colored parts into
layers and press them on the top of
each other, after which cut them into
squares, oblongs and so forth.

who, with nomad Arabs, have been

Twenty-eight men, including an Off

New York, April 17.-An extraordi-

CHILD which may have been alive when

officers of the steamer Statendam when
that vessel arrived Thursday from Rot
terdam.
The child Is said to have been cast

Bertha Lzibik. of Poland. She was
coming to this country with two cnil-

about year old. On the way over
the child was taken i'll with convul-

the other passengers OF the steer

of the child was thrown into the sea-
Officers of the steamer soon discov-

surgeon made inquiries and he had

might have been revived under medi

Scheme Favored by Postmaster Gen.
eral on Rural Routes.
Washington, April 21-"The post
master general is calling the atten-
tion of congress to the fact that the
establishment of a special local par
eel post on rural routes would wipe
out the rostal deficit" says a state
ment given out at the department,
"and would tend to make the rural
free delivery self-sustaining, besides
being a boon to the farmer and retail
country merchant.
There are now in operation 3S, 03S
rural routes, serving a population Of
fifteen million souls, and should an
average Of five 11-pound packages be
carried On each trip throughout the
year, it is estimated that SIS 900, 900
would be realized and the net return
to the ogevrnment would be more
than sufficient to equal the deficit"

Policeman Killed by Man He Was
Trying to Arrest.
Villa Rica, Ga. April 21.-Police-
man T. E. Holt was shot three times
and instantly killed Saturday night
about IL o'clock by W. G. Strick-
land, young man of this town.
It Is said that Strickland was in
toxicated and creating a disturbance
when the officer approached him and
endeavored to cause him tn desist.
This Strickland refused to dc, and
Holt endeavored to arrest him, being
forced to use his billy, when Strick-
land drew his gun and fired, one of
the shots piercing Holt's heart.
Strickland left the town, but was
later arrested at Morgans, a small sta
tion above Villa Rica.
There seems to have been some feel
ing on the part Of Strickland against
Holt, who had arrested him last
Christmas for firing fireworks too near
cotton.
Holt was a man of about fifty-five
years of age, stood we'll in the COM
munity, and leaves seven children.
Strickland is the son of w. F.
Strickland, one of the wealthiest and
most respected citizens of the county.
