Hardy was living with her husband in
one of these dug -out caves, while he was
building their house. The work went
very slowly and Elizabeth often helped
her husband. She brought the water to
make the mortar for the chimney, and
even helped at one end of the saw.
One day she was very tired, for she
had helped all the morning. Her Mee

think about dinner. Mn. Hardy walked

Only a few biscuits and a little cheese

SUGGESTS KELVIN'S NAME.
Proposed New Terra for an Electrical'
Unit,
A suggestion of Hutch interest cones
from England. It is that the mune
"kclvhi" be adopted for the kilowatt-
hour or (in England) Board of Trade
mutt.. The kilowatt-hour being a mea-
sure of practical electrical work, it one
of the most frequently used of all the
electrieal units and one with which the
general public is perhaps as familiar es
any other. The proposal that the mem-
ory of Lord Kelvin be honored by apply-
ing his name to this unit is now derived,
for it was originally made a number of
years ago, during the great man's life-
time.
Ameriemt electrical engineers will lye
sure to give this proposal a cordial wel-
come and careful consideration, says the
10'estern Electrician, Aside from honor-
ing a man whom all delight to honor,
the word "kelvin," with two,syllablea,
is shorter and more euphonious than
"killowatt-hour," with four.
The subject is one of considerable im-
portance, for the word "kelvin," if it
elionld be finally sanctioned by internee
tionel agreement, will be indaily use
among practical electrical men. Buell
objections as there may be to the word
should therefore be carefully considered
at the present time, before the recom-
mendation is finally adopted by the
conymise1on,

How it Happened.
A certain member of the fashionable
Metropolitan and Chevy Cherie Clubs at
the national capital has all his life borne
many quips by reason of his exceedingly
diminutive size,
Last spring the diminutive club man
took unto himself a wife, the daughter
of a well known Federal official, who Is
said to be as, witty as bee/ether.
"Mrs. Blank" said a friend one day
recently, "I have just seen your husband
for the first time since his marriage. Do
you know, be aeons shorter than evert"
"Why note" asked the wife, with a
smile; "he's married and settled down."

FAMOUS HORSE MARKET GONE.
Original of Rosa Bonheur's .Horse
Fair" No Longer Exists.
The fatuous old horse market in the
Boulevard de 1' Hopital in Paris, whero
Rosa Bonheur used to 'plod about in
man's attire with pencil and sketch
book, has ceased to exist, No one who
loves horses will regret it, says the Veg-
etarian, for it represented the acme of
equine discomfort.
The new horse market, in the Bee
:Brandon, which was inaugurated recent-
ly, is a model of its kind. It comprises
stables and sheds sufficient to shelter
800 horses, more comfortable than most
of the poor beasts which conte to it have
ever known. '
It includes an abattoir, where horses
that are injured or otherwise rendered
unfit for service will be turned into
butchers meat. About 5,000 horses are
slaughtered for food in Paris every
year, and the number is on the increase
so the need .of a special abatoir, well
organized and closely inspected, has long
been felt.
The market and abbatoir were built
by a private company, which will turn
the property over to the city at the
?sed of 0100013' years.
