PRISONERS OF PARLIAMENT
Offenders May Be Shut Up in Clock
Tower, but Buy Own
Meals.

Few people are aware that the
houses Of parliament have their own
prison. Yet situated high up in the
clock tower is the M. P.'s prison, con-
sisting of four bedrooms and two sit
ting rooms, London Tit-Bits says.
The honorable member who has been
dishonored by Imprisonment for a
breach of parliamentary etiquette does
not have a very hard life In st. Steph-
ems prisAl. The prisoners meals are
sent up to him from the house of COM
mons kitchens and he can choose
whatever dishes he likes from the or
binary menu. Unlike an ordinary pris-
Oner, he receives the bill for his meals
from the catering authorities!
Perhaps the best remembered occu-
pant Of parliament's prison q Mr..
B%radlaugh, who was sentenced by the
speaker to imprisonment in the clock
tower for refusing to withdraw when
requested SO to do.
Offenders against parliament other
than members have before now been
sentenced to Imprisonment in the clock
tower. These Outsiders" have includ-
ed several public speakers and the edi.
tor OF a prominent newspaper.

meet, she should not be too proud tC
wear black shoes whensOut for a prom
enade, though all the girls she knows
are sporting white ones. When young
men callers drop in of an evening
mentioning casually the spread they
had at this or that girls home, her
pride shouldn't urge her to go these
girls one better and set forth refresh
ments that will be a heavy drain on
the purse of her father, causing a
shortage in the family table for a week
to come.
If a girls father is a working man,
instead of attempting to conceal 1t,
she should glory in that fact and be
proud Of it. If her mother has un-
fortunately missed having an educa-
ton, the daughter should not attempt
to make her life miserable by con-
stantly reminding her Of it and cor
recting her.
Where poverty exists, all the men,
bers of the household should make
the best of it. Such a condition should
bring all the best In their natures to
the fore. 1t should be the aim Of each
to bend every energy to help lift their
loved ones out of it. Few girls, even
if the opportunity was theirs, would
dress beyond their means when they
realized they could not afford it. 1t
Is not the girls who have the most
dresses who generally look best or are
most admired. The poorer the girl,
the more taste she is obliged to exert
in selecting her few clothes. The diff
ference between boys and girls is that
a young man who has poverty for a
drawback will pocket his pride rather
than attempt to appear what he is not.
TO be rich in pride yet poor in pocket
is the failing Of young women. If their
notions are allowed to run their course
unchecked, their pride and poverty
lead them to grave follies.
One girl who was ashamed of the
house she lived In waiked many blocks
out of her way to fool her acqualnt-
ances into the belief that she lived
in a better place, only to be merciless-
ly jeered at when the postman who
served her locality remarked, what
are you doing way off her. Name, so
far from your home in Cherry Laney"
1t was thus made known that her
home was in the most humble part of
the town. No girl is measured or
sought by the location of her home. 1t
Is her own individuality that attracts
or repels friends or would-be lovers.
Give me the sweet-tempered girl ev.
erytime, instead of the proud one.|
Men think the same way about it, l
nm glad to say.

First lncandescent Lamp.

The first practical incandescent
lamp was the carbon filament lamp
brought out by Edison in 1S78-1S79, al
though a platinum flament lamp was
experimental with much earlier. Fila
ments of Osmium, tantalum, helion and
other metals were introduced, but none
of them equaled the efficiency of tung-
sten, invented in 1893, and perfected
IN 1912. Many other lamps were made
during these years, among them the
Nernst. One Of the improvements, eff
fected by introducing nitrogen into
the bulb, is known as the Mazda gas
lamp, which is made in various large
sizes, and has become an efficient COM

illustrating the great scientists trust

One day a member Of his family
brought home a beetle, to the horror

Wallace picked it up, saying, "Why,
it is quite a harmless little creature"
and to demonstrate its inOffensiveness
he placed it on the tip Of his nose,

There are some men who imagine
they fall desperately in love with some
pretty young woman at first sight.
They begin paying attention to her at

the young woman, nothing will salts

a long letter before they consign them

This is the delirium of courtship. It
Is quite the reverse from being sane
and sound. A young man of this sort
is sure that his girl is a veritable an

After marriage, such q man wakes
up with q rude start. He finds he is

There's generally q good reason for

When a man takes it upon himself to

The youthful, animated conversation
of the young girl lifts him out of the

Her laughter and innocently expressed
thoughts warm his heart and his ma

She makes a splendid companion for
