over ORDINANCE
Electrical Contractors and
Workers Harmonious in Re-
gard to Measure.

A big representation OF the electrical
contractors and the workers of the
city met last night with the city coun-
ell and considered the proposed new
electrical ordinance. The conference
resulted in the commissioners getting
a very good idea Of what each side
hopes 10 have incorporated in the new
ordinance and il was found that there
existed marked unanimity OF pur-
pose-to safeguard the journeyman,
the contractors and the owners as we'll
The model which is being used in
drawing an electrical ordinance for
Rock Island lis the one which is in
force in Davenport. This was read off
section by section last night and dis
cussed. For the most part it met
with general approval The points
which caused discussions in which any
considerable differences Of opinion
was shown follow:
The licensing OF journeymen. The
workers are for this measure which
would require all journeymen to pass
a written and practical test before be-
ing allowed 10 work in the city. The
contractors were not in sympathy but
did not see fit TO strongly oppose.
The bonding of contractors. The
bosses feel that irresponsible con-
tractors should be kept from putting
in work by the need for posting bond.
who to make the bond payable to is
the question for decision.
Report on installing of phone wires.
The ordinance requires all power com.
panies to make reports at stated times
as TO the location and the number OF
lights and wires which they install SO

Roses in Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 50 remedies compounded OF
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as a pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served
at table. both as a garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as a salad.
and rose. water was largely used for
flavoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
lions, but the Chinese still eat rose
fritters.

Anniversary Of Asphaltum.

It is two hundred years ago that a
Greek physician Of the Imperial Prus-
sian court obtained a concession for
working the large asphalt beds of Neu-
fchatel, Switzerland, which at that
time belonged to Prussia. But the
e~nterprising physician had no luck. as
he failed to arouse the interest of the
financiers. 1t was much later, at the
time Of the discovery Of the asphalt
beds near Seyssel, in 1872. that closer

Old Rules for Diplomats.

The Turkish government used at
one time to make foreign ENJOYS in
Constantinople conform in some de-
gree to Mussulman customs. They
were not allowed to appear in public
accompanied by their wives, as this
practice might have caused heart
burnings among the native women
who could never hope to be treated
on an equality with their husbands.
Endeavors were also made at II
time to extend Mohammed's prohibit
ton of wine to foreign diplomats. This
was found impossible. but until the
end of the eighteenth century all the
wine consigned to them had to be
conveyed from the harbor in the dead
of the night so that the faithful should
not be contaminated by seeing the
~accursed liquor.
