We still put it under a shade, to be' !sure, the handsomer the shade the bet - tea we like it, but if our whole desire iu the matter of lighting be fulfilled we jalso have an incandescent hidden away in the standard ! Such a lamp, at a little distance, looks to be a mushroom, 15 inches or more 'across, with a shapely stem a yard in 'height. The whole thing, save the top of the standard and the tripod which supports the shade is rich French glass in pale onyx tones, though there is spar- ing decoration of rich dull red. The small amount of metal used is of an- tique bronze, the dull greenness exploit- ing the soft shades of the glass to the greatest advantage. In spite of all this splendor of color and from the detail which holds the aver- age eye in the manner of lighting. Up under the mushroom shade are tucked away three incandeseeuts, while more are concealed in the stem of the mushroom, or in the standard, to be plain. This sets the while. thing aglow, and adds to the oddity of an already exceptionally un- usual piece, as well as to the light -pro- ducing power. Lighting grows more in- teresting every reason, and incandes- cents gleam forth from every possible device. We have found thein in the eyes of a bronze cat, in beautiful glass flow- ers, in realistic cat -tails, and now in a mushroom. It would not seem that the future held any great surprises in light- ing, though no doubt at this moment the designers are busy thinking out novel- ties equally surprising. Do you catch cold easily?

The disease has been so bad of late in the Mysore' State, where it is reported, writes our Simla correspond- ent, that one of the palace elephants has succumbed after developing what --seemed to be the typical plague swell- :ings. A Mysore correspondent writes to a 'Bombay paper that elepbants. and deer •are also •dying in the Heggaddevankot 'forests of what is believed, locally, to he nothing else than the plague, which fans been prevalent among the human in- habitants of some of the villages in the neighborhood. Why He Swam to Shore. King Victor recently started on a, cruise in the royal yacht, and all went well until one afternoon,, when the news reached him that his wife had given birth to a child. "Put in to shore," he said to the captain. "for I must go to Her Majesty at once." Unfortunately a storm was raging and it was impossible to bring the yacht to land. The King, however, would not be thwarted in his design, and without a word he threw off his coat, sprang over- board and swam ashore. A few hours later he was in the royal palace, and next morning all Italy was talking about his daring feat. Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. Hope Ahead. (Puck.)

Good Houses, Good Air and Good Exer- cise Necessary. While tuberculosis is spread through infection, it must be remembered that its predisposing cause is in the body it- self. If one could get rid of narrow chests and bring up children in healthy surroundings, we should resist the sourc- es of infection more succesfully, what- ever they are. We are all in danger from bacilli, but we do not all get con- sumption, because many of us have con- stitutions with a sufficient power of re-' sistanee. Good houses, good air, good ex- ercise must be brought to the help of weak constitutions; and they are also necessary if we are to have strong con-' stitutions and the weak are to be elim- inated. By so much hygiene as we have already practiced, and before any special precautions began to be taken about con- ' sumption the mortality from it has de- creased, since I850-5 by 53 per cent. It is probably still decreasing steadily, though it accounts for a tenth of the annual mortality, if all the forms of tu- berculosis that appear in the registrar General's report are reckoned. Bronchitis and pneumonia are more familiar than phthisis. In the army the death rate from tuberculosis has been reduced from 12 to 1.2 per 1,000 per annum since the Crimean War. It is a well, known story how a commission reported that con- sumption was much more prevalent in the line regiments, where each man in barracks had only 350 cubic feet of space, than in the Guards, where each man had 500, and how the death rate began to fall when the barracks became more fit to live in.—Phil.

Orland, Ont., Sept. 19,—(Special).— Mr. Chester Loomis, an o]d and respecter;, farmer living in this section, is spread- ing broadcast the good news that Dodd's Kidney Pills are a sure cure for the Lame Back and Kidney Disease so com- mon among old people. Mr. Loomis says: "I am 70 years of age and smart and active as a boy and I give Dodd's Kid- ney Pills all thes credit for it. "Before I started to use Dodd's Kid- ney P lis I was so used up I could hard- Iy ride in a buggy, and I could not do any work of any kind. Every body thought I would not live long.

To consider these questions a great gonvocation of the W. C. T. U. is now called in St. Louis. As with' all reforms carried on by wo- men, there is a certain amount of senti- ment involved in the work of this vast organization, which now extends into every country on the globe. It was founded to carry out the wish of a dy- ing child, and every woman in it, :prob- ably, has been hurt 1.4 the evil which it combats. It is quite natural that their appeals should be emotional Here, it seems to us, has been the great mistake in dealing with intemper- ance. It is a disease, not a sin. This boy comes into the world with the ten- dency to alcoholism in his body; that with the tendency to tuberculosis. The last is promptly given the air, the food, the medical treatment which will help hi nito resist the disease; the other, on the appearance of its first symptoms, is given tears and prayers and emotional excitement, which tend to make him a more easy victim. There is no doubt a moral obliquity in the lad. who deliberately chooses to be- come a sot, but nine times out of ten it is a diseased liver or nerve or brain that drives him to the choice. If the mother or wife who watches his ruin would treat his failing as disease and put him in charge of a skilful physician, she would help to put an end to the drunkenness far sooner than by any pas- sionate hymns or fluttering ribbons or despairing appeals .to the lawmakers or to God. It is doubtful if the law ever kept temperate a man with a craving for drink, and God. helps those who help theinselves by rational remedies, wheth- er their ailment be alcoholism or Minard's Liniment Cures Burns, etc. Strange Wedding Gown.

It is hard for the man with corns to stand on his dignity. Money talks, but silence sometimes commands a better price. The woman who wears paste dia- monds is generally stuck up.

A single skin is worth $500, and if the bird would live in captivity its value would be fabulous.

The cool and deliberate actions of the Japanese may in part be due to the fans they carry, writes Correspondent Palmer in CoIlyer's Weekly. After describing a fierce morning battle Mr. Palmer tells of their' use of fans as follows: "Some. infantry reserves nearby were fanning themselves. To a Russian who had not tasted their fire these "Makaki" might have seemed quite effiminate. " The fans which the little men use to cool themselves in the march are pres- ents from the Emperor. On them is in- scribed, in the handwriting of the com- mander-in-chief of the army, Marquis Oyama, the words: `Do your best for your country.' "On a hot day a fan may beat up a breeze in front of a soldier's nose which will save him from succumbing." Mf Hard s Lina s Liniment Cure Dandruff. uff.

CAPTURING WIDOWERS. Matrimonally Inclined Women .Prefer Man Already Broken. In. One of the puzzles afforded by the mat- rimonial markets is the•preforence of widow- ers for spinsters and the indifference of wi- dows to bachelors. Statistics, manipulated by an expert ;statistician, prove that this parti- ality and prejudice exist, They show that in a the breach period dtheir dowidowers estic arrangements by espousing 25,141 spinsters, while only 8,147 widows were considered available for that purpose, That left many of the widows un- provided for, and, although on their own tes- timony, n'tost of the widows would have pre- ferred consoling themselves with widowers, morn than 15,00ra0 ofnks theofmbachelors. chose second part- ners from the Having thus marshaled his figures, the statistician proceeds to the inevitable deduc- tions, He expounds theories purporting to account for the predilectiou of the sexes when choosing a helpmate for the second, third, or fourth time. Several explanations are advanced. The thoughtless herd who have neither statistics nor theories of their own may take their choice. To start with, the statistician mainains that a man who has suffred conjugal be- reavement is more anxious to repair his loss than a woman similarly afflicted. Indeed, so enamored is he of the matrimonial state that he is willing to give it several trials if necessary, and each time, if left to his own inclinations, he will choose a spinster. This the statistician partly accounts for on the ground that the female population exceeds the male; hence each man who is entitled by law to more than one wife is required by chivalry to assist as many women as possi- ble into their true sphere of home -maker. In case some hard-headed pessimist should regret that philanthropic view as too vision- ary for his strenuous age, he offers another more practical suggestion. Every man likes to be boss in his own home. Having learned from experience that he is likely to bo de- posed as soon as the female member of the team learns the knack of managing the reins, he prefers at each new venture to set out with a partner who is as yet unini- tiated, so that he may enjoy at least a month or so of lording it before she finds out her power. Possibly each of these hypothesis will have its adherents. Either or neither may be cor- rect, but it is unquestionably it fact that Mr. Pickwick himself never more strenuously opposed the threatened entanglement with Mrs. Barden than does the average widower the blandishments of a bereaved representa- tive of the opposite sex. Fortunately, how- ever, their resistance is unavailing. Widows are shrewd. A man who has once shown himself amenable to discipline can be dis- ciplined again. Widows know that. They infinitely prefer taking up a man's educa- tion where somebody else has left it off to training a new consort from the kindergarten stage on up; heuce in spite of their resistance several thousands of protesting widowers are captured annually.—Exchange. A Curious Fan Clock. A remarkable timepiece is a clock fan manufactured by a Swiss jeweler. The clock consists of 12 leaves hinged like an ordinary fan. The number of the hour is marked from 1 to 12. at the eed of each of these leaves. The fan time- piece starts at 6 o'clock and expands regularly for 12 hours, when it suddenly closes up and starts all over again. The half-hour is indicated by the leaf of the fan being only half extended. STATE OF OHIO, erre OF TOLEDO, pe. Lucas COUNTY f FRANK J.

These schools are designed to devolve on the state the care of the young,or the socialistic theory that 'the state is wiser, better and kinder than the parent. The idea appears to be that the state is a colossal person, with an intelligence, wis- dom and conscience as superior to those of the parent as .the population of the state is superior to him numericaly, The state is viewed as the collective virtue and intelligence of the entire community, and the natural parent of every child in- cluded in it. This theory is as wrong as it could be. in she meanwhile this sort of school is educating the people faster than it is ed- ucating the pupils, and' its teachings are of the most pernicious character. These teachings are gummed up in Mat words paternalism and socialism. The parental school is a part of the general idea that the stake is soon to do everything for everybody, even to 4.ihe bringing up of Ids children. The family end the individ- ual, according to this plan, are to be nothing except beneficiaries of the state. --Chicago Chronicle.
