That the lay public is greatly in
terested in practical electrical devel-
,opment is forcefully shown in the in
icreasing attendance at the annual cleo
trical shows held in New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago, as well as at demon
strations of household appliances CIV
en- at intervals by central stations
throughout the country. At the latest
electrical exposition in New York
there was an attendance on one eve
ming of $1,000 visitors, followed on
the next day by 10000. About 5O0,-
900 persons visited the Boston show in
four weeks. A central station in the
west recently entertained 1900 ladies'
at an afternoon tea at which coffee
and cake making on electrical appli-
ances were practically demonstrated.

The Texas police are fearless in
tackling the hard problems of the
day. In Galveston one of the chief
topics discussed by their state Or
ganization at its convention was
how to control the wealthy and in
fiuential Lawbreaker. When they
have solved this knotty problem it
is to be hoped they will give the rest
of the country the benefit of the
solution. 1t is too valuable a discov-
cry to be confined to one state.

HORSE KILLED.

Driving across a street car track in
front of rapidly moving car is not
beneficial to horse as was proven
Monday evening when three men who
had hired rig from a Maumee livery
attempted to cross the track near west
Boundary street. The horse was killed
and the buggy badly damaged, but
the men escaped.

All the eggs from the chicken farm
which the Prince Pignatelli d'Arrag-
non has established at Merrick, Long
Island, are to be identified by the
princes crest as trade mark. That
may help to sell them at a good price
for use in society" But the Danish
system of stamping ON each egg the
date when 1t was laid will continue
to make strong appeal to practical
minds.

A very proper general order has
been issued by the chief of police Of
Cincinnati-prohibiting the scattering
broadcast in that city Of the ashes of
the cremated dead. People who have
read of the disposition made Of the
remains of the poet Joaquin Miller
on his mountain-side home at Oakland,
conceive the notion that 1t is ro-
mantle thing for human ashes to be
thrown into the air from the top of
skyscraper or other tall building, and
carried by the wind, which bloweth
whittier 1t listeth. To others the prac-
tice savors of disrespect for the dead.
The health department Of Cincinnati
has declared that it Is unsanitary.
Certainly it makes wholly superflu-
GUS addition to the dust nuisance,
which in every large city is bad
enough as matters stand.

ly Jared on Friday last when couple
of so called bandits for short time
sent a thrill of terror to the hearts of
the peaceful inhabitants of the COM

whom the brunt of the scare fell
phoned near by neighbor where a
threshing crew were at work. The
men arming themselves with pitch
forks and other available weapons
rushed quickly to the scene of conflict
only to find instead of real bandits
two fair maidens and several broken
windows. After the first scare was
over every one fell to guessing what
prompted these fair maidens to such
a deed. Some said it was caused by
womans desire to be equal with man
in all things or an over supply of be-
lief in police court verdict handed
down at the recent Festival. But
the wise ones say it was onlya a ruse of
the bride. to be to test his temper and
nerve.

SN EET APPLE DAYS.
" ny so much Sweet Fruit was Planted in
the Days of Long Ago.

the Days of Long Ago.
The early Pilgrim ancestors learned
nearly at the start Of New England APP
pie growing that pigs would eat sweet
apples, while they would hardly look at
sour apples. Therefore our ancestors set
out sweet apple trees. For the pigs?
Yes, because pigs liked sweet apples and
would fatten up on d sweet apple ration.
Sweet apples made fat pork, and fat
salt pork is a famous New England
standby.
Possibly the man who planted the
sweets was not behind his times. The
writer's hair is not vet gray, but when |
was child the Pound Sweets We're used
on every farm about us for drying. At

stood very near the dwelling. 1t was
small building of one room, about s or 10
feet square. A small stove stood in the
middle. The walls were covered with
shelves of open Stats, or Iath, to facili-
tate the drying of apples for market.
AT that time all country stores bought
them each fall and winter In ordinary
households some apples were peeled each
evening in late August and September
