BUENOS AIRES.
An Orderly City In Which Affairs Are
Well Conducted.

/ M Sibciy wy w "iiSh Thoh . nv
Well Conducted.
Things are done well In the City Of
Good Airs. There are good things to
eat, comfortable rooms to live in,
places where man can get his exer-
else and outdoor sport. After the trop-
les the gringo feels like a man who
has been hopping from foothold to
foothold in a swamp and steps at last
on solid ground. The creature comforts
of capable, wide awake, well ar
ranged city soothingly envelop him.
The cochero knows where he wants to
60, the waiter knows what he wants
to eat. The mounted policeman, in
breastplate and horsetail helmet, rides
him back with the rest of the crowd
and does it so quietly and with
such sophisticated nonchalance that he
promptly conceives a passionate ad-
miration for that policeman and his
beautiful horse, falls into the CON-
munistic pride common to all city
dwellers and is ready to declare that
there is no other policeman so fine in
the world. The streets are clean and
well kept, and the buildings which line
them, however gingerbready their archi-
lecture, are held within decorous max
imum and minimum limits of height.
Everything is near at hand. The ho-
tel, club, bank, drive, the restaurants
and theaters are all within, so to say,
feeling distance. And this physical
compactness and neatness, this con-
tinental glitter and activity, set here
oasis-like, combine to give the whole a
certain diminutiveness and cozy inti-
macy. There's a "little old Buenos
Aires" too.-Arthur Ruhl in Scribner's
Magazine.

Accomplices,

A rival to the celebrated Mrs. Mala-
prop is to be found in a certain New
York street car conductor. The other
day a party of several women boarded
his car. They were not able to find
seats together, and two sat on the op-
posite side from the others. The wo-
man who paid the fares for the group
offered the conductor half dollar,
neglectlng to mention how many fares
were to be taken from 1t.
You're paying for these four here"
he said, indicating those who sat in
line with her Of the purse, and" wav-
ing his hand in the direction Of the

The Grave Of Adam.

April 1 was marked on old calendars
as the Memorial of Adam" The orr
entails relate that Adam, when dying,
charged his children to bury his body,
embalmed with myrrh, incense and
cassia, In the cave Of Al-Kanuz, near
paradise. When they quilted the place
they were to convey his body to the
center of the earth, whence would
come salvation to his posterlty. This
is said to have been done by Noah and
Melchizedek, who reburied him on the
sacred hill of Calvary.-Chicago News.

A NEST HARD TO FIND.
REMARKABLE and Artistic Home of the
Humnninq Bird.

The home Of the humming bird is
one of the most remarkable and artistic
creations of all bird architecture. 1t is
tiny, delicate cup. made of the soft
est plant down. saddled upon some
rather slender branch so deity that it
seems a pat thereof. The saliva of
the birds is used to compact and secure
the material and likewise to coat the
exterior with the gray green lichens
So generally found upon trees. This
makes il so assimilIte with the sur
roundings that it is Il very difficult OBJ
ject to discover. And thereby hangs
tale. A gentleman had told me that
il | would call upon him he would
show me an occupied nest of a hum
ming bird in his orchard. When I
thought | would see if could not find
the nest myself SO I made inspection
from tree to tree. and presently the fe-
male hummer began to dy about me
anXiously. We played a game of hot
and cold until it became evident that
the nest must be in a certain low apple
tree which had many dead, lichen Gov
cred branches. Some of these came
down nearly to the ground. and for
quite awhile | stood Try the tree, run
ming my ayes along each branch in or

the nest with my hands. having been

is THERE A BIC
DEPRECIATION ON
THE LIGHT PLANT?
This Question Has Been
Raised and CounCIImen
Would Like to Know Just
What This Will Be.
| MERRILL NOT YET READY
TO STATE WHAT IT Is.
Expert Who Investigated the
City's Property Held That
The Depreciation Would
Be About Eight Per Cent.

In connection with reports submit
ted to the city council Monday night,
bearing on the Municipal Lighting and
Power plant the question was raised
as to whether or not the item of de
probation should be included. SO that
he public might have a clearer idea
of just what the condition and value
of the plant is. The point was raised
by Mr.. Leftwick. who said he had often
been asked in reference to this. Mr..
Merrill, of the board of public works.
said the item never had been included
and that he was not ready to state at
the moment what the proper course
would be. Mr.. Won Pein held that de
probation is d very uncertain thing
and that where d plant is kept in re
pair the item of depreciation enters
very little into it. Mr.. Deuker be
lieves that depreciation should be TAX
en- into consideration and he stated
that when the plant was investigated
the expert who assisted thought eight
per cent was a fair basis. Often de
probation in such plants as this is
placed at ten per cent.
Superintendent Charles Rogers sub
mitted a report of the plant for the
year ending January l. 1908. 1t
shows a considerable excess of receipts
over operating expenses. In full, the
report is as follows:

BLIND MANS BUFF.
This Common Game Is Of Great An.

and of very great antiquity, having
been introduced into England in the
train of the Norman conquerors. Its
French name. Colin Maillard," was
that Of a brave warrior, the memory
OF whose exploits still lives in the
chronicles of the middle ages.
In the year 999 Liege reckoned
among it's valiant chiefs one Jean Co
lin. He acquired the name Maillard
from his chosen weapon being a NAL
let. wherewith in battle he used liter
ally to crush his opponents.
In one OF the feuds which were OF
perpetual recurrence in those times he
encountered the Count de Touraine in
q pitched battle, and, so runs the story
in the first onset Colin Maillard lost
both his eyes.
He ordered his esquire to take him
in the thickest OF the fight, and, furi
ously brandishing his mallet. did such
fearful execution that victory soon de
clared itself for him.
When Robert of France heard OF
these feats OF arms he lavished favor
and honors upon Colin. and so great
was the fame of the exploit that it was

ical engines, all in good condition.
One of the hose wagons is held in

ical engine on No. J. hose wagon
There is also one chiefs wagon in fair
condition.
During the year there has been pur-
chased for the No. hose company a
new team to replace the old ones
