BULLDOG STOPS TRAM LINE
Canine Mounts Drivers Platform Of
London Car and Forces Him
TO Leave.

London.-An amusing story OF how
bulldog held up a train, along with
the driver, conductor and passengers,
in Newcastle. is told by the Daily
Sketch.
The tram was going from desmond
to the Central railway station when
the bulldog, a large specimen Of its
kind, mounted the driver'g platform
and dehed all efforts at dislodgment.
1t growled and showed its teeth, and
though the driver held his post for
some time the dog at last became so
threatening that he bea. a retreat to
the rear platform.
The passengers also retired in the
face Of such a formidable foe. leaving
the bulldog in undisputed possession.
Finally the tram was manipulated
from the rear platform into the sheds,
where a few buckets of water sufficed
TO coax" the intruder from its strong.
hold.

Figures published by the federal bu-
reau Of education give evidence that
the rewards Of genius engaged In the
educational field ate considerably be
Low those attainable IN other OF the
learned professions and In many indus
trial avoca:ions. The highest paid
head OF a state-aided institution OF
learning is the president Of the Univer.
Bity Of California, who receives $l2r
900 a year and house. The president
Of Cornell university and the Unit
versity OF Illinois, each receive $780,
900 a year and house. and the presi'
dent Of the University Of Minnesota
$4,000 a year without house. Other
presidents Salaries run down as low
as $4,000 The best paid full professor
enjoys an income Of $4,000 a year
and the least paid tutor struggles along
on an allowance OF $50. When Il ~
considered that there are lawyers In
the country earning from $4,000 TO
100000 a year, that some medical
men command almost as large earn

There are almost two sides to the
simple little facts OF life, There is
this matter OF drinking water at ones
meals It has been regarded as a mis-
cradle habit The school textbooks
teach It that way, and they give very
impressive reasons for 1t. II used to
be taught-drink at your meals, II
you feel like It; drink all you want;
II is good for you; helps digestion.
Then came the opposite doctrine,
never drink at your meals, and not
for an hour afterward. and that idea
has prevailed and is a part OF our wise
school knowledge these days. Now
comes Professor Hawk of the Univer-
sity of Illinois who has been study
ing the subject for seven years. and
his conclusion is that water-drinking
at meals helps digestion, principally
by utilizing the protein food. which Is
regarded as the most important func-
ton of digestion, says the Ohio Jour
nay. Then, fluids help digest the fats
and throttle the bacteria that range
along the alimentary canal and keep
stirring up all sorts of tumults. So
the latest information is not to let
anybody scare you about drinking wa
ter at your meals. Just drink what
you want and forget about IT,

CARING FOR GRAVES

The wire frames are then scraped
with wire brushes, bent and twisted
back into their original shapes and
dipped into an immense tank of ben
zine to cleanse them. AS they emerge
from the benzine bath, bright and
clean, they receive their final treat
ment, a dip into a tank of green paint,
and then are once more ready for the
market and are resold to the flor
lists.
All of the refuse that comes from
the frames is cremated A Crematory
of the Colorex type, burning liquid oil,
is maintained on the premises for this
purpose. Some of the wire frames are
so badly bent and twisted that they
are beyond repair, and these are
thrown into dump heap in the rear
of the lot Four tons Of the wire
refuse accumulates monthly and the
material is carted to one of the big
iron foundries in Kings county and
there transformed into sash weights
for windows.
OF the 100000 floral designs that
are used at funerals in New York
every year, there are about 1900 diff.
ferent styles and sizes, ranging all
the way from the simple wreath, or
cross, for probably one dollar com,
plete, to a miniature locomotive and
tender, ~ inches long.
The working materials that are used
extensively in the manufacture OF the
funeral emblems, besides the wire
frames, are moss. toothpicks, butch
ers' skewers, tinfoil and white
pigeons.
In addition to the millions Of flowers
used every year on funeral design;
there is a large demand for white

Hugh Kenney Uthizes Remnants
Of Costly EmbIemS.
For Forty-'lVe Years Brooklyn Man
Has Removed Discarded Wire
Frames From Cemeteries in
Gotham and Elsewhere.

New York.-More than s1,500,000 is
spent every year in Greater New York
city for floral emblems for funerals,
and it is said that 100000 designs are
annually sent to the cemeteries. What
becomes of them? The flowers fade
and'wither; the wind and rain help to
scatter broadcast the leaves and
petals, but the wire framework the
moss and the tinfoil remain to litter
up the most carefully kept cemetery
Gnless they are disposed Of after serV-
ing their purpose.
New York city is reputed to have
the most beautiful and best kept
cemeteries in the world. and it is be-
cause they are cleaned out frequently
and their aspect not marred by OBJ
jectionable dumps of discarded floral
enlblems.
For forty-fve years Brooklyn man
has removed from the cemeteries the
discarded wire frames and their ac'
cumlated debris and today, with the
assistance of his seven sens, he claims
not only all of those of South Orange
in New Jersey and Kenisco and Wood
lawn above New York city.
This man, Hugh Kenney, receives
no pay from the cemeteries for this
work His teams or auto trucks call
at the cemeteries at regular intervals;
at the larger and better grades as
often as every three weeks, but al
the smaller cemeteries only once in
six months From each cemetery he
removes from one to six wagon loads
of the discarded floral emblems anc
takes them to bis plant in Brooklyn

handle the refuse as 1t arrives. As

The par value of the American hus.
band may keep on depraciating among
American girls who live in Europe,
but 1t is fact that the wealthy girls
among the middle classes of Germany
infinitely prefer an American man
even to a scion of the most ancient
German nobility. And 1t is interesting
to note that parental approval follows
their preference. The American has
the reputation Of making the best hus.

more faithful to his marriage vows
He does not isolate his middle-class
wife from her family and relatives as
the German aristocrat does.
