NEW GAS LIGHTS
PLEASE PUBLIC

Having been instructed some weeks
ago TO place additional lights along
West Tenth street and on Delaware
avenue from Market street, the VIII
mington Gas Company this week
placed IA three-burner inverted
Humphrey archs IN operation.
The additional lights have caused
much favorable comment, being of
400 candle power This has been
increased to 500 candle power by the
use OF alabaster globes. The light
produces a soft glow and leaves no
shadow.
The Street and Sewer Department,
IT is understood, is planning to ex-
tend the lights out Delaware avenue,
and II this policy is followed, that
thoroughfare will present beautiful
scene. The lights are placed on
iron standards IA feet above the side
walk with a fancy bracket suspended
over the curb. The poles are paint
ed a dark brown.
In the installing of the lights little
if any inconvienve was caused, the
work being pushed forward rapidly
It was only necessary to open the
street in one or two places In order
TO make connections with the gas
mains.

They Are Usually Pure White With
Peculiar Glow.
As we all know, there are both day
blooming and night blooming flowers.
The former are geperally decked in
red. blue. yellow OF purple and have
lines, spots or markings on their petals
which often act as guides 10 the nee
tarles which are visited by the bees
and butterflies.
The night blooming flowers, on the
other hand, invite the visits OF moths
or other night dying insects and there
fore have recourse TO something like
the tasks OF the flrenies and the glow
worms. They are usually pure white
and have such a peculiar texture that
they seem 10 glow with internal light
In the dim shades Of evening.
At times you might almost fancy
that they we're stained by nature with
some forerunner OF luminous paint, so
clearly do they reflect every visible ray
Of the faint twilight They thus sue
coed in catching the eyes OF the moths.
which, OF course, are modified espe-
clally for perceiving and receiving the
slight stimulus of the dusk and gloam-
ing.
But the nocturnal flowers have no
lines or spots, because these last could
never be perceived in the dim gloom
Of the evening. They make up for II,
however. by being very heavily scent

white flowers, which are such favor.

SHORTHAND WRITING.
s'atsnosraphy" Not the only Name by
Which It Is Known.

saienoeraphy" Not the Only Name BY
Which It Is Known.
Shorthand writing is known by other
names than ''stenography." 'Tachygra-
ply" is only one OF them Its second
part, of course, comes from the same
root as the latter end Of ''stenography"
that is, from the Greek ''grapho,"
meaning to write. 'Tachy" Is derived
from the Greek "tachys." meaning
swift; so only the shorthand writer
who has the ability to take down rap
I'd speech and transcribe It quickly has
the right to call herself or himself a
photographer" CThe "ch" sound is
like that OF "k.'D
"Stenography" comes from "grapho"
combined with 'stenos," which means
marrow" In Greek. So a 'stenogra-
pher'' is either a narrow writer or she
or he practices marrow writing"
Not so many years ago we heard a
good deal about photography" as a
name for shorthand writing. but the
term seems to have gone out OF USE
II comes from that same useful root
~grapho," combined with "phonos."
The latter word means sound" so
that a photographer is one who writes
down sound as he hears it The pho
nograph is, of course, an instrument
for writing or recording sound
Then there are "brachygraphy" ste
ganography" and Topography" as 9TH
er names for what we generally call
stenography. In the order given they
are derived from "graphO" combined
with ''brachys." meaning short "ste-
ganos," meaning covered" "secret" "a
stenographer is one who writes in
cryptic OF mysterious writing. not to be
read by the uninitiated and "logos,"
meaning ''speech."-New York Times.

Good

Mourninu Stationery.

The formal woman is particular about
her mourning stationery and visiting
cards. She decreases the width Of the

degree Of relationship to the deceased.
The broadest border, a full half inch,

permits herself a touch Of white the
stationery is bordered by fhree-eighths
Of an inch Of black, lessened by pre-
seribed degrees until In second mourn

Is used.
For a paFeRt or child the border
starts at a quarter Of an inch and 10
lessened after six months 10 an eighth
of an zach and at the end OF a year
reduced 10 a slender line, Borders on
visiting cards correspond with those
on writing paper,
The average person chooses her
mourning borders by individual taste
rather than by rule and rarely changes
the width until in second mourning.
Good taste avoids the Haunting OF
grief and rarely countenanees border
wider than quarter Of an inch, even
for widow Even this is a trlhe
wide. Three-sixteenths Of an inch is a
better width for widows, parents or
children and an eighth OF an inch for
a sister or brother.
The paper used IL dead white linen
of plain weave and lusterless- IT Is
bad form to have n mourning border
on striped or fancy paper, even though
the color is kept white. Where a
transparent paper is liked, as for for

besides the border there is a separate
lining OF black tissue paper for each

Addresses and monograms are often
stamped in unrelieved black. Some
persons prefer them embossed in relief

Correspondence cards carry the same

AT Of conv.rsatlon.

The art Of polite conversation seems
to be lost one, yet there is not any
thing in the line Of etiquette that 80
surely betrays breeding.
To interrupt is to be rude, no mat
ter how much one knows or how badly
one wishes to say II. To carry on
perfectly well bred conversation with
some sort of meaning in tho words is
a proof that one has been taught po-
liteness.
1t has been said, and possibly with
great grain Of truth. that roomful Of
women viii all talk at once, yet there
is nobody to set them a better ex-
ample, as mensare worse. With rau-
cous voice and many times a lot Of
perfectly useless adjectlves they take
many a precious moment TO say what
could be said with a great deal less
noise and great deal more dignity.
OF course to converse does not mean
just talking. 1t means saying some
thing well worth while, and this really
is the test A hostess has a right to
expect her guests TO 'make conversa-
tion,' it is true, but a babel Of sound
Is not at all desirable. This is where
the low voice and soft expression have
their proper belonging, yet where too
often both are lost In the desire to
make oneself heard above all others.
Current topics of the day are al
ways safe subjects. Best let personal
matters alone. It is better taste and
therefore better breeding unless one
Is we'll acquainted with ones neighbor
and can say anything without fear OF
repetition making mischief. To talk
only Of fashions Is a mistake. To
talk Of music to a musician may be
also a mistake unless one is fully ac-
quainted with the subject To talk OF
history to a historian will not do; he
knows a great deal more than can be
told him. In fact, to talk shop" as
the saying goes, is rarely advisable
where a company is gathered together
for entertainment.
Books are always safe. Discussions
may and do arise. Sometimes heated
arguments for and against attract and
make an hour pass pleasantly. The
weather is very obliglng subject. II
cannot talk back, is always Just the
thing one does not particularly like
and can come in for any amount OF
blame without making anybody pres
ent feel cross. SO It seems that to
converse we'll in q general way one
should avoid a great many subjects
and 20 warily about others. Any dis
cusslon may be heated without anger
and this means the etiquette Of con
versation.

brink Of a rounded cliff, SO unstable
is the equilibrium that the rock trem.

odd freak has attracted the attention
OF the superstitious natives. who loot
upon Il az miraculous work Of the
gods. They believe that the rock f.
held in place by a hair Of Buddha
Hence they have clambered TO the TOP
of the rock and built there a pagoda
which Is about twenty-five feet In
height Should the bowlder ever. fall,
as is quite likely TO happen. and dash
to death a handful Of worshipers the
blind faith Of the devout people would
