A Mind Reader.

Pat had g"t hurt-not much more
than scratch, it is true, but his en-
ployer bad vi ions of being compelled
to keep him for life, and had adopted
the wise corrse of sending him at
once to the hospital: After the house
surgeon had examined him carefully,
he said to tho nurse:
CAS- subcut aneous abrasion is not
observable, I do not think there is
any reason to apprehend tegumental
cicatrization of the wound"
Then, turning to the patient, he
asked, qujzzically:
"What do you think, Pat?"
"Sure, SIR said Pat, you're =
wonderful mind reader, doctor. You
took the very words out Of my mouth.
That's just what was going to say!"

"BullsD in Parliament.

Young though the parliamentary
session is, it has already been enliven-
ed by couple of bulls" one of the
perpetrators being Lord Balfour Of
Burleigh. He was recently making
some remarks in the house of lords.
when he said, referring to another
peer: "The noble lord shakes his
head-and I'm very glad to hear it."
About the same time, in the house Of
commons, w. p. Byles, the member Of
North Stafford, complained that the
Patriotic Fund Corporation were stor-

which we're given for these very
widows, who were now dying of long

inventor of Enxelopes.

It is somewhat curious that such a
simple contrivance as the envelope
should be a comparatively modern in
vention, says the Gaulois.
AS a matter of fact it is just hun
dred years since paper manufacture
or Of Brighton named Brewes invent
ed envelopes for letters in their pres
ent form. Even then it vasssome con-
siderable time before their use be-
came at all general, not, in fact, until
somewhere about the year 1850.
Before this date (as n my who are
living now will remember) letter,
written only on one side, was folded
in two, then three, sealed with waf-
er or sealing wax, and addressed on

ELECTRICIANS STRIKE
Capital of france Plunged Into Dark
ness which Lasts Two Hours,
When Work In esume

PARIS, Aug. 7.-Paris was plunged into
darkness for two hours tonight because OF
an attempt Of electricians to carry out a
general strike similar to that of March,
19U7,- Shortly before . o'clock the current
was abruptly cut off. This caused the
greatest Inconvenience in hotels and res
taurants, a majority of which are almost
entirely dependent upon electricity for their
lights. There was a recurrence of the
scene of last year when the lights were ex-
tinguished, the diners finishing meals by
the glimmering glare of candles stuck in
bottles. Most of the theaters arc closed
for the summer season, but the Theater
Francois and a number of music halls
were compelled to abandon their programs
and dismiss audiences owing to darkness.
CONSERVATION relgned in the newspaper
offices, which were threatened with the
deprivation Of both light and power with
which to run their presses. Urgent mes
sages were dispatched to various parts OF
the city for engines and automobiles with
which 1t was intended to generate power.
To the great relief of all persons concerned,
however, the supply Of electricity was re-
sumed shortly after 10 o'clock as abruptly
as It had ceased.
It appears that when they came on duty
the night shift, without the slightest warn
ing, announced their intention to cease
work and cut off the power. The directors
OF the plant refused to be inundated and
threatened instant dismissal to all the
electricians who persisted in the attitude
they had taken. After celebrating for
some time the workmen gave in and re-
sumed work.
1t transpired that the strike was care
fully organized by Pataud, secretary of
the electricians union. who this afternoon
sent a notice to every member OF the union
ordering him to stop before 10 p. M. and
to remain in the factory to prevent the
employment OF outside help. The action
was taken as a protest to the governments
employment of troops during the recent
disorders at Vigneux.

POLICYH0LDERS RESIST PLAN
Proposed Equitable Building Thou
sand Feet High May Not
he Constructed.

NEW YORK. Aug. THE building de-
partment today officially approved the
plans for the proposed si~xty-two-story
building designed for the Equitable Life
Assurance society to replace its present
building on Broadway. The plans were
filed with the department on June 20 last
by the firm Of d. H.. Burnham & Co, Chi
|cago architects. The building is designed
to cover the Broadway block bounded by
Nassau. Pine and Cedar streets. Although
the plans have been approved II is still
doubtful II the thousand-foot skyscraper
will ever be occupied by the Equitable, for
a controversy has arisen over the advisa-
billty OF such a move. The officials OF
the society have Just issued a statement
to the effect that they have not yet come
to any definite decision regarding a new
building. When the intention OF putting up
the s-ixty-two-stoTy structure was first an
nounced It evoked much criticism on the
part OF the policyholders. who objected to
the expenditure.
Some OF the largest ~policyholders have
submitted to the society as an alternative
proposal that OF selling the present build
ing and site, which are valued anywhere
from SIS. 10000 TO t20.OoO.ooO. and OF then
erecting a building much further up town
at a cost for site and construction Of about
4'OOOO or $o'VOO'VOo' the balance OF the
money to be distributed among the policy
holders, II is understood that this alterna-
tive plan will come up for consideration
before the directors when they hold their
next meeting In the fall.
Paul Morton, president OF the society, has
called attention to the fact that the pres
ent building yields so small an income
something under 3 per cent, that its disc
pearance Is practically decided ,nor -.
