LOST AND FOUND.
In England 10 Per Cent Is the Rec
ognized Reward.


eff you lost a watch worth 500 what
reward would you give the finder for
it's return?'
.'Oh, ten or twelve dollars"
"Ten per cent, Ell? Well. that is
about right" said the detective. at
is more, though, than the average per-
son would give. Here in America in
lost and found cases there is no rec
ognized percentage of reward, but in
England there is such a percentage,
namely, half a crown to pound; that
is to say, about 10 per cent. Ten per
cent Is what the finder must be paid
in England provided he takes his find
to police station or to Scotland Yard.
He always does so, as otherwise the
owner is apt to give him less than the
legal 10 per cent. l lost in London
cab kit bag worth 500 The kit bag
was returned by the cabby to Scotland
Yard and I left there for him gladly a
reward of So. If the bag had been
worth $1,000 I'd have been charter of
handing out 5000, but that is what I'D
have to do before the Scotland Yard
folks would have given me my prop
erty. When you lose anything be pre-
pared to give at least 10 per cent to
the finder. Ten per cent is the recog-
nized reward in lost and found cases
abroad. and it should be the recognized
reward here. To my mind it is little
enough, and they who give less are tc
nv mind dishonest Philadelphia Bull
letin.

The "Longest Resident"

= The poverty of the English language
is exempliied by circular which is
making the rounds of a suburb and in
vites subscriptions to a testimonial to
the station master. 1t comes from one
who styles himself the longest resi-
dent" the sad physical fact being that
he is probably the shortest, although
in bulk and rotundity he makes up for
the inches he lacks in height. Here is
a case in which the very clumsiness of
the German language would be an in
estimable help, for then this gentleman
could quite correctly describe himself
1.-The for the longest time-herein resid-
ing or even perhaps the for-the-
longest time herein residingest' individ-
ual. Those compound adjectives of the
Teutons may be awkward, but they
express what the user means and in
sure accuracy.-London Standard.

THE BLOUSE.
It's Name Came Originally From Pc
lusium, In Egypt.

It's Name Came Originally From Pc
lusium, In Egypt.
The environs of Potassium, in lower
Egypt, in ages past stood foremost
among sunny lands where the culture
of indigo and the manufacture of fab
RIGS died with it were the principal in
dustries. In the middle ages, when the
Crusaders landed on the coast Of
Egypt and entered Pelsium, where
Port Said is now situated, they pur-
chased quantities of the blue material,
which they cast over their panoply Of
war. Afterward the same material
was made in France and became the
fabric of which the working garment
of the male peasant was made and is
to this day.
The name of the locality was given
the fabric, and this was retained by
the French production, but contracted
to Pelouse, which later on was changed
to blouse pronounced bluZe). The
smock worn by English male peasants
Is a similar garment and, though it Is
not written in history that the blouse
crossed the channel soon after its
entry into France, it would seem
probable from the fact that in other
times the smock was now and then
/ called "blowse."
This, fair ladies, is the origin of the
garment of our warmest affection, to
which we have Loyalty chung for years
in spite of many ruthless detractors
and will continue to do SO notwith-
standing the fact that, whether called
"bluze" or "blowse," it is not of aristo-
! cratic lineage.

O. GIANT MAGNETS.
The Operation of Lifting Monster
Loads With Them.

LOADS WIN Ihem.
The peculiar properties Of an electric
current often lead one to fancy that
1t may perchance be endowed with the
spirit of intelligence, SO mysterious are
Its inner workings.
A most curious use of electricity Is
the adoption Of lifting magnets in ma
chine shop and mill practice. An cleo
tro magnet in its simplest form con-
sists of piece of soft iron wound with
a large number of turns of insulated
copper wire. When an electric current
passes through the windings Of wire
the electric forces are converted into
magnetic forces and the coil of wire
and core of soft iron assume all the
characteristics of a common steel mag
net.
The operation of lifting magnets Is
quite simple. The magnet is attached
to the crane hook, and the ends of the
wire forming the coil are connected
directly with the dynamo. The crane
is then swung so that the magnet is
suspended directly over the metal to
be removed. The magnet is then low
cred until it comes in contact with the
object, the current is turned on, the
hoist is raised and the mass of metal
to be moved clings to the magnet.
When the load reaches the desired
point it may be dropped without first
lowering the magnet or it may be low
cred, the current shut off and the ma
terial deposited gently. The crane OPP
orator needs no help to load or I'M
load, and the work can be done in half
the time with a saving of from three
to four men.-New York Herald.

The Pcim DutCl Girl.

The etiquette Of Holland is exceeding
ly strict In all classes. The young girl is
most carefully chaperoned. and she
never goes anywhere, even to church,
unless accompanied by her parents,
some male relative or other equally
trusted attendant. At a dance the
parents sit round the walls slipping
their coffee or Wine and the young
men must make the best of their
chances in the opportunities afforded
by the dance, for when it pleases the
guardians to depart there is no help
for ii, the girls must go too. An I'M
married girl always takes the right
arm of her escort, while the matron
takes the left, perhaps because it is
nearer the heart

An Example.

One Of the most intimate friends of
NJ. Dumas fills was a retired naval Of
ficer who lived in a distant corner of
Normandy. As soon as the author of
Camille" died the officer went over
all the letters which he had received
from Dumas and destroyed every one
which referred to any private affairs of
the author. Where letters also con-
tanned literary and philosophical dis
cussions he carefully blotted out the
personal parts in order that nothing
of a personal nature might ever reach
a publisher. This is an example not
often followed.

Buttons are certainly as ancient as
the siege of Troy, in the ninth century
before our era. for, both in that unfor-
tunate city and at Mycenae, DR.. Schlie-
mann discovered objects of gold, silver
and bronze which could have had no
other use than that of buttons. In
medieval times the clothing of the
common people was generally fastened

of age in woman than being able to

frankly middle aged. During your

FRIDAY JANUARY 10, 1905

Critics of the Presidents recent or
ders that army officers must be tested
to ascertain their ability to stand long
horseback rides probably do not re-
alize the extent to which the officers of
foreign armies are subjected to SINH
lar tests. A great deal of nonsense has
been written about the aged generals
and others being compelled to ride
but that is pure nonsense. The only
officers required to enter the test were
officers of the line, that is majors,
colonels and lieutenant colonels, men
who in war would be expected to ride
with their regiments and whose ina
bility to do so would incapacitate
them for service. 1t is, in fact, just as
much part of an army officers duty
to keep himself in proper pb ysical
condition as it is a newspsperman's IS
duty to keep himself in condition
to shove pencil.

MORE WORK FOR The LAWYER.
Legal Light Explains Why He Had
Doubled His Fee.

Five years ago a certain man made
will. Last week he made another
one. The same lawyer drew up both
documents. For writing the second
will the lawyer charged twice as
much as for writing the. first one.
why this difference?" asked the
client. Have you attained such promi-
nence in the legal profession in the
last five years that you are justified in
doubling your fees?"
mot at ALL" said the lawyer There
was twice as much work on this will
as on your old one. You see, at that
time you We're a married man and
your will was short, for with the ex-
ception of few minor bequests every
thing was left to your wife. Changes
in your domestic relations have made
another will necessary. You are now
a bachelor, or bachelors equivalent,
childless widower. 1t is much hard
er to write will for man of that
type than for a married man. The
man with a family usually gives away
everything he possesses in three or
four clauses, but the bachelor divides
his property among so many relatives,
friends and dependents and consumes
SO much time in doing 1t that the
lawyer is justified in charging him
double the usual fee"

tary notice of popular railway man:
II. M. Smith, Superintendent of the
Michigan United Railway interurban
lines, has been raised several points
higher in the service of the company
and will in addition to his other duties
assume charge of all Battle Creek
lines in the future.
Mr.. Smith has proved his ability as
a railroad official from the beginning
of his career with the Michigan Unit
ed and the promotion is deserved
tribute to his worth. The management
OF the jackson line is subject of ex-
traordinary praise upon the part of
the travelling public and especially
commercial men who advertise the
service in every part of the country,
as the best electric line in operation
He is a careful painstaking official
who not only looks to the comfort of
those who are employed under him,
and enjoys absolute confidence and
cooperation among his men, but is
everlastingly after the details to the
end of making the service comfortable
and pleasing.

1t is gratifying to note that Secre.
tary Taft's reiteration of this country s
interest," in maintaining the "Open
Door" policy in China has had a
marked effect at Pekin and that the
Chinese Court is maintaining sitter
and more effective resistance to Jap
anese aggression than at any time
since the Russo Japanese war. 1t is
perhaps natural that Japan should
seek to go as far as possible with di-
plomatic methods in extending her
influence in China and that she should
endeavor to secure for the japanese
every passible concession, but the su
pineness with which China has granted
such concessions and privileges since
Russia's defeat has been the occasion
of considerable concern to this coun-
try. Mr.. Taft did not go to China
with diplomatic mission, but he is
so we'll known abroad that he was ac-
corded special attention and in
one of his speeches he declared
that this country had lost none of its
interest in upholding the "Open Door
policy, an assurance which seems to
have proven all that was necessary to
strengthen the backbone of the Chi
nese administration. The proper word,
spoken at the right time, may do
wonders.
