TELEGRAPH POLE OF CRYSTAL
Streets in French City Paved With
Glass Blocks Also Asserted to
Give Satisfaction.

The increasing uses to which crystal
velous. In Lyons there are many
streets paved with glass blocks, these
being adjusted so perfectly that water
is not able to pass between them. 1t
is said that the glass pavement has a
greater resistance than stone and is a
bad conductor of heat, for which rea-
son ice does not form readily on the
surface. Moreover, it is beyond ques.
ton more durable than stone, it is
cheaper and more easily portable, and
lows where mud can lodge.
In Germany, near Frankfort, there
is a factory for the manufacture Of
crystal telegraph poles. In order to
give better solidity to the crystal mass

of thick wire These posts are better
than wood because they perfectly re-

Dresses made of crystal thread

Dresses of spun crystal have a bril-
liancy like silk Curtains, carpets,

generally are being made of crystal,
while factories are going up in various

MADE MATTER OF NECESSITY
According to This, There Is Little
Doubt About CoIored Mans Liz
ing for Chickens.

In the endeavor to uplift the race, a
friend of ours started in by trying to
smash silly old superstitions. Our
friend believes that negroes are ma
ligned, and that many of the stock
jokes about them are not founded on
fact. He has, in fact, succeeded in
proving that a number of the old min
strel standbys are mere senseless
jests. And the other day he inter-
viewed the elevator boy in his Office
building.
Arthur" he said, there's silly old
saying that you colored people are
crazy about chickens. l can't see how
that started. Do you like chicken?"
"Yassah."
"Of course-almost everybody likes
chickens. l mean to say, do you like
it better than anything else in the
world? Do you like it SO we'll that you
would steal it if you couldn't obtain
it honestly?"
Boss, likes chicken so we'll dat if
l couldn't git it no other way, I'd buy
it!"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Weddinq Rind.

Most people know that the reason
the wedding ring is put on the fourth
finger of the left hand is said to be
because the first two fingers and the
thumb we're counted all as fingers,
and therefore as three. The thumb
used to be the ring finger anciently,
and the seal rings of those in author
ity were placed on this first short,
thick finger, the most useful Of the
hand. The wedding ring is the mod
ern descendant of this old-time thumb
ring and was removed to the fourth
finger in this way: The first three
were named for the three persons of
the Trinity, and at the word amen,
after the naming Of the three, the
ring reached the fourth finger and was
left there. In reality, the ring finger
is the safest place for 1t.
There is another and less pleasant
origin, too, for the wedding ring. The
old rings were the mark of bondage
as well as of dignity.

Parents Object to Sunday School

The falling off in attendance in the
Sunday schools, which was the sub
ject of a discussion at the convention
of the New York County Sunday
School association, was referred to by
a layman after the meeting had ad-
journed as "a progressive disease"
and that the Presbyterian Sunday
schools are not the only ones where
there had been falling off from 81
to "a per cent" ITO great extent"
he said, 'the condition is the result
Of too much school work. Parents
say that after strenuous week at
school the child should have work Of
no kind on Sunday. That's the ex-
cuse of those parents who seldom go
to church because of golf and motor
cars-and there are thousands of
them. New York Tribune.

Sensitive Plant Life.

The craving of plants and trees for
water has sometimes led them to ter
rible extremes. A poplar has been
known to burrow beneath a wall, I'M
der a road, and down a well-all in
search of water, and a pertinacious
turnip which got the tip of it's root
into the crack in field drain went
on and on until it was six feet long
in the drain. So sensitive Is the tip
of the root on the water question that
Darwin declared 1t must have brain
in it.

Didn't Improve Situation.

There was a certain master Of fox
hounds in one of the English shires
who was greatly angered by the awk.
wardness of one of the gentlemen who
invariably rode over the hounds. At
one Of the meets the M. F. H. rode
up to the awkward hunter and, in the
most chilling tones, said: "Mr. So
and-so, there are two dogs in the peck
today, Snap and Tatters, which / am
especially fond of and l would esteem

manning them with your horses

Old Proverbs About AppIes.

No fruit has played a more impor.

than the apple, of which Solomon
made good use in his proverbs, "stol
en- apples are sweet" and "a word fifty

lures of silver"
A good many English doctors pre-
scribe an apple for either the first OF

two apples with one stick" and the
origin in the saying. "a windy year

Master of LANGUAGES.

Sir Charles Eliot, the new principal
of Hong-Kong university, is forty-sev-
en- years old and speaks % languages
fluently. For many years he was in
the diplomatic service and to every
country to which he was sent he mas
tered the language, beginning with
Russia in 1887. In 1889 he brought
out Finnish grammar. During his
course at Oxford he had not only
swept the board of all the classical
distinctions within reach, but, while
still an undergraduate, had won the
Boden sanskrit scholarship and the
Syriac prize.
