What He Had Been Taught
About Electricity.

The ,famify washing was goinr
through its regular Monday electric
washer route. Incidentally, the base
ment was damp, because there had
been no furnace fire.
When the lady Of the house started
co wiring the clothes she found an
electric current in the water, due to
a short circuit in the motor. After
several attempts to wiring the clothes
before the current got in its work,
she was about ready to give UP AMI
wiring them by hand.

COVERED HEADS IN CHURCH
Before the Year 1861 Men Did Not
Remove Their Hats During
Religious Services.

About 1861 an agitation commenced
to have men remove their hats in
church-Pepys makes gentle fun of It,
The custom was first to remove the
hat to cover the eyes In prayer, and
later II was taken off altogether
The introduction Of the wig helped
the custom-for 1t proved difficult to
keep ones hPl on over tousled
mass OF false curls. This also led to
large hats with plumes going out Of
style.
Then, instead Of wearing hats IN
doors, men went TO the other extreme.
and often carried them In their hands
when out OF doors The Puritans in
England continued 20 wear their
broad-brimmed hats. however. indoors
and out.

One Time That Mr.. Hogg Scored on
the Partner of His JOYS

Former Senator John w. Weeks was
lately recalling some of the happy
days of the long ago in Washington.
In those days, he said, there were
such things as bars, and his friend
Hirbutus Hogg, spent a great deal
of his time on the fringe of the GASES.
One night after an unusually long
sojourn near his favorite bar. Mr..
Hogg navigated painfully home and at
last reached his bedroom. Mrs. Hogg
was waiting for him.

appraisal of his condition, 81 am

roasted near the window in the Widow
Morans hen-house watched for the

When Ii came. he sent forth a bolt of
sound that tumbled Silence from his
throne and shook the foundations of
the great dome of Night. 1t rang over
the housetops and through every
street and alley In the village That
