Laundry Marks Of Forslqn Count,


In foreign countries some strange
methods are adopted for identifying
the contents of the washtub. In some
parts of France linen is defaced with
the whole name and address of the
laundry stamped upon il, and an ad.
ditional geometrical design to indicate
the owner of the property. In Ba-
varia every patron of the washtub has
number stamped in large characters
on his linen. In Bulgaria every laun.
dry has large number of stamps en-
graved with designs, and in Russia
the laundries mark linen with threads
worked in arrow shapes. In some
Russian towns the police periodically
Issue regulations for laundries. In
Odessa books of marks are furnished
annually to the laundry proprietors,
and these marks, and no others, can
be used to identify linen.

Will Lower Headlights.

The Chicago & North Western
railway has started the task OF
lowering the headlights on it's
locomotives. The headlights
heretofore have been placed on
top of the boilers and in front OF
the smoke stack. They are now
being removed and placed IN the
center of the boiler over the bull S
eye, taking the place where the
number has heretofore appeared.
The number is to now appear on
the front base of the boiler. The
change makes quite a difference
in the appearance of the engines.
One reason for making the change
is that it gives the engineer a
better view of the track when
going around curves.

MONAX HIDES HIS HEAD
Result is That Winters End
is In Sight--Question of
Veracity.

Here's how one writer dopes
out result of Candelmas Day:
Unless old Br'er Arctomys
Monax is a total stranger to
truth and veracity, the end OF
the winter is in sight.
Arctomys Monax is the name
on the calling card of the ground
hog when he raps on the doors
of the scientific flour hundred. y
Wednesday, the day which Arc
tomys begging his pardon if he
objects to being called by his
first name) emerged from the re-
tirement in which he has been
peevishly secluded for many
moons.
Immediately and with malice
aforethought, he committed
grand larceny on the special pre-
rogratives of weather forecasters
for Mr.. Monax has a Sherlock
Holmes reputation as weather
detector, and it is written that
if he espies his shadow on Feb.
2 there is to be six weeks more
Of winter. This makes him real
peevish again and he hikes back
to his underground palace
Now Wednesday the sun got
busy for just four short minutes
during the morning. 1t emerged
from the gray bank of clouds at
promptly 900 o'clock, and
smiled upon nortals until 9:13.
Then it disappeared once again,
and unless he inadvertently bob
bed his head out during those
four minutes, Br'er Monax saw
nothing that could alarm him.
And even if he did come out,
maybe he missed his shadow
anyway! For foxy old Arc
tomys. just as though some one
gave him a tip on the high price
OF meats this winter, hibernates,
which is woodchuck talk for
sleeps all winter" Hence, if he
did come out he was probably
so thin that he had to stand
twice in the same place to cast
any shadow at all. and even at
that he would have to stand
side-on to the sun. Otherwise
everything is safe and the winter
is over.
