The one illuminant which answers every con- { dition of flexibility, convenience and decoration in store lighting is Electricity. , It loofts right and it is right. i The recent improvements in lamp manufacture resulting in the new Tungsten, Tantalum and high ! efficiency lamps have resulted in reducing the cost ' of Electricity to owhalf of its former amount. Economy can no longer be urged as an argument , for the use of any other illuminant. Tungsten light is the brightest and whitest — the softest and most artistic, artificial light yet given the public- it is positively unequalled for store or shop window lighting, and it is rapidly replacing other lighting mediums in all parts of the city. We will send our representative to estimate on the candle power of light necessary to properly illuminate your place of business, and we will make a special proposition for the installation of Tungsten Lamps and fixtures — without charge or obligation to use our Service.

Well ! first, last and always, all Tror Laun- : dries are good ones and now a little ; history about Troy. Troy, N. Y. was : the home of the laundry industry— the i starting point as it were. The first ; detachable collar was made in Troy ■boat 1848 by a lady who saw that collars being made separata from the shirts (it was the custom those days to have all collars and cuffs attached to the shirts) would save a great deal of labor. She called in some of the neighbors and it waBn't long before all Troy was wearing the detachable collars, and it wasn't long before a collar and cuff factory was started and, of course, the collars and cuffs had to be laundered and naturally the laundry followed, and spread over the country and todav ranks fourth in the industries of the U. S. A., that is in the number of employes. The largest independent laundry machinery comI pany is named Troy, and is the original and is not in the trust There are about 500 Troy Laundries scattered throughout the U. S.

But there are some who think otherwise, saja an exchange. Little Alice's mother, having taught the child to say. "Time to rise," in which "the birdie with a yellow Mil" figures, the child announced that the meant to recite It to her teacher. "Well, and what did Mlaa Prim say to the birdie with a yellow bCUT " asked Alice's mother when the little girl returned from school. "She aaya It la quite a pretty thought But this is the way she makes ma say It dow. mamma: | "A birdie with a yellow blU Bopped upon the window sUL Cocked bis shining eye and said. 'Are you not ashamed, you sleepyhead r " "But that was not the way the birdie said It Alice." the mother remonstrated. "No. mamma; I know. But teacher I says it isn't good English to Bay. Ain't yon 'shamed, you sleepyhead T " Sixteenth Century Meals. Judging from a passage In Harrison's "Description of Britain." breakfast eating In the sixteenth century was held to denote effeminacy. "Heretofore." he writes, "there hath been more time spent In eating and drinking than commonly Is In these days, for, whereas of old we had breakfasts In the forenoon, beverages or nontlon after dinner and thereto reare suppers when it was time to go to rest now these old repasts, thanked be Godi. are verie well left, and ecb one iexeep' here and there some young hnngrle stomach that cannot fast till dinner timel contentetb himself with dinner and supper onlle. • • • The nobll ltle. gen trie and students ordlnarlHe go to dinner at 11 before noon ahd to supper at 5 or between 5 and 6 at after nooD. The merchants dine and aup bpIdom before 12 at noon and 6 at night, edpeclalle In London. The hnsbandmeD dine also at high noon and sup at 7 or 8. but out of the tearrae In our universities the scholars dine at 10." A Curious Trail. All sorts of devices have been used to mark a line of marcb. A unique method of "blazing the trail" Is still to be seen In Africa, and a recent publication prints a picture of one of these memorials of the dervish raid. Arthur J. Hayes mentions the subject In his "Source of the Bine Nile." In 1SS9. after a fierce battle with the Abyssinlans, the dervishes pursued tbelr foes as far as the lake district | The mabdi's men bad small knowledge of geography and little togographical j Intelligence. So the advance party. Id order to mark the route for those who 1 came after and also to guide the force | on i heir return Journey, twisted the | saplings along the way Into living knots. The war ended, but the tied up trees grew and flourished, but un- - couthiy twisted and distorted, and are now the only reminders of that uprising of tbe dervishes. Where Nature Cooks the Food. Id certain parts of New Zealand both l native and white women use the uatu- . ral hot springs to do tbelr cooking. In 1 the Rotorua regioD. It matters not ° whether tbe cook wishes to roast a piece of meat, boll potatoes or steam puddiog, all she bas to do Is to step out of doors and place the cooking » utensil in a steam bole. Tbe covfer Is then put on. and a piece of coarse - sacking over the whole completes tbe operation. In a short rime dinner Is ready. At Whaknrewarewa the entire earth Just beneath the surface is a mass of boiling springs. Millions of gallons of hot water hiss and steam, sending vapors skyward In great white clouds. Strike tbe ground almost anywhere with a stick and tbe bole thus formed fills with hot water. Hot water for baths, tbe week's washing and for the ordinary purposes of tbe housebold Is always on band. Hard on th* Chairs. Among tbe ancestors of Wendell if Phillips were several Puritan clergy - men. Perhaps it was a push of beredle ty which made him at five years of s age a preacher. e His congregation was composed ol t circles of chairs arranged In his faV tber's parlor, while a taller chair, with a Bible on It. served him for a puiplL I He would harangue these wooden audl0 tors by the hour. f "Wendell." said bis father to blm e one day. "don't you get tired of this?" II "No. papa." wittily replied the boy e preacher. "I ion't get tired, bat It is * rather bard on the chairs." d ; Obeyed Him. ,e "Whare's old Four Fingered Pete'?" ie asked Alkali Ike. "1 ain't seen him in around since I got back." st "Pete?" said tbe bartender. "Ob. be went np to Hyena Tongue and got jag- *' ged.
