Sanitation in Skyscrapers.

The skyscrapers Of New York city
are to be placed under scrutiny by
board of health officials, the purpose,
it is said, being to ascertain whether
sanitary regulations are adhered to
strictly. Safety Engineering thinks
"the truth is that most, if not all, OF
these structures were reared under
the direction of numerous city de-
partments, whose off1ciousness has
often been more marked than their
beneficent service.

ton says, will place the officials on
trial as we'll as the owners and ten.

GOLDEN PERIOD COMES BACK
Prosperity Of New England Fleet RI
walls the Best Days of the Old
Square Riogers.

The war in Europe, which wrought
such dreadful havoc in so many other
directions, awakened these drowsy
ports and called these waiting fleets
to hoist anchor, Ralph ID. Paine writes
in Scribner's. A few months and al
most all the great five and six mast
ers had vanished from the coast.
Then the smaller SchOOners were
snapped up for this golden offshore
trade and those that remained at home
found a wonderful harvest because Of
the scarcity of domestic tonnage.
1t was like fairy tale of commerce,
and somehow more whOlesOmely graft
flying than the fevered activity of mu-
milton stocks in Wall street with their
imitation and jobbery. These fine ships
deserved to live, and those who owned
them had been steadfast in fair wealth
err and foul. For example, there was the
six master E. B. Winslow, which had
been carrying coal from Norfolk to
Portland, and she is one of scores
whose good fortune has been as daZ-
zling. She was chartered for Rio with
5000 tons of coal beneath her matches
and came home laden with manganese
ore after a voyage of seven months.
Her owners received $4,000 in freight
money, or considerably more than the
cost Of building her, and $4,000 Of this
was net profit to be distributed as div
ideudS.
1t soon became commonplace infOr-
NATION to hear that a schooner had
paid for herself in one voyage otfshore.
Those who preferred to sell instead Of
charter also enjoyed a sort of Arabian
Nights come true. There was the re-
tired skipper of Portland who reckless
ly bought an old vessel two years ago
for $4,000, a tremendous speculation
which absorbed all he had thriftily
tucked away in lifetime at sea, and
strained his credit besides. In two
voyages this sturdy coaster put $4,000
in his pocket, after which he sold her
for 100000 and dared to indulge ia
the long"desired luxury Of navigating
his own cabin catboat.

Recipe for Happiness.

The man who made ex-President
William H. Taft simmer, DR.. Charles
e. Barker of Washington, gave the fol-
lowing recipe for happiness in an adj
dress at Chicago: Look on the bright
side of every experience. Accept cheer
fully the place in which you find your
self today. Throw your soul into your
work. DO as many little kindnesses
as possible each day. Maintain child
like attitude of trust in your God.
The rich, as q class, are the most I'M
happy people on earth because they
think they can buy happiness, like a
commodity on the market. Poor peo-
pie frequently are happy, not because
of their poverty, but because they have
found the laws of happiness. Happi-
ness does not depend upon externals
at all. 1t is dependent upon laws that
can be learned and obeyed."

Der of calling telephone when there

vented by Charles E. Bedaux of Grand

BedauX. you call your doctor ON the

tween your calls the doctor has come
In and gone out again. You cannot
reach him, nor can you let him know
that you want him to reach you until
such time as you can find him at the
other end of the telephone. This same
situation is duplicated hundred times
a day in every department of life. I
have perfected a call recorder which

E0CKNEY AN OLD DIALECT
WrIter Asserts That Peculiar Pronun-
Citations Have Been in Use for
Hundreds Of Years.

| Cockney speech has found a defen'
der in Mr.. Mackenzie MacBride, who
Undertakes to show that Cockney is
no modern dialect or corrupted form
IQf the Kings English, but that it is
of ancient and honorable lineage rum
ning back for nearly thousand years.
1t is pointed out that when the per-
son born within the sound of Bow
BELLS" says tibet" for that" "benk"
Nor bank" and "byliff'' for "bailiff,"
he is really guilty of no corruption Of
the English language, since these pro.
hunciations have obtained not only in
London but in Kent and Surrey for
hundreds Of years.
In like manner is justified "abaht"
And "ahtside' for about" and out
etde." 1t is suggested that many Lon
@oners have been laughed out Of these
y'ancient and excellent" pronuncia-
Lions. Mr.. MacBride earnestly urges
Them not to change their speech be-
cause Of any uncalled-for animadver-
eions against It.
Whether Mr.. MacBride be correct or
mot in his contentious, 1t is a fact that
pockney has survived for many CEN
&uries in the midst Of speech that Is
heemed more cultured. It is a curious
fact that in the Bahama islands. which
|Were settled more than 200 years ago
by Londoners. the Cockney speech is
10 strong as It is in Cheapside.

the highest. For shops Bond street Is
the dearest thoroughfare in the world.
Broadway in New York comes next,

from $4,000 to $500 year. This in
cludes the shop and basement, but not
any other part of the premises. Tho
shops in Regent street cost even more,
but then they are larger, thus making
