ELECTRIC LIGHTS WERE INVENTED TO SUPPLY
A NECESSITY. ALL OTHER METHODS OF CREAT-
- ING ARTIFICIAL light were unsatisfactory. Candles
wer dim and unreliable: gas, dirty and dangerous; kero
sent, dull, smoky, odorous and also dangerous to health .
and property. When elctric lights were introduced there
was but one drawback. They cost considerably more than
other lights. - This objection has been overcome and elec
tric lights are now the most economical as well as the
most satisfactory light. '

"A" PLOW THAT RANG TRUE.
n Likewise Proved Its Quality H the
JSusnes Aires Buyer
In Buenos Aires a rew years ago to
American salesman of plows wlahed
to demonstrate to a local customer the
uperlorlty of bis goods over that of
a Gerinnn competitors . The America n
consul arranged for the test
- The German plows proved to be al
most exact duplicates of the American
Implement In design and rather better
In Bnlsh. Wasting no time In explana
tion, the " American salesman called
over i powerful peon and ordered him
to swing with all bis strength "with a
ten pound sledge upon the share of
one of the American plows, r '
The husky . Basque spat, upon bis
bauds, hunched tils muscular shoul
ders,, swung the heavy hammer In a
wide circle and brought It down on
the spot Indicated. A note as clear
as thnt of a bell rung out and the
plow went bounding across the floor,
but save for the patch of red paint
tlmt fused to and "came off on the
bnmmer head the share was unmark
ed. When the operation wns repeat
ed upon one of the Genuon ; lmple-
njt'iits (lie Orst sbnre wus completely
shattered, the pieces being scattered
about the floor like so much broken
crockery. Thinking that possibly the
faultlness of this sbnre bud been an
accident of conntructlon, perhaps of
over-tempering, the dealer requested
the peon to swing upon the second
sample. This blow demonstrated that
the German Implements were not even
consistent in their effectiveness, for
this share doubled up under the blow
and folded lovingly in around the
hammer like a (lower going to sleep
at night - v. a: ;;:...:;:: ;
There were tears in the consul's
eyes ns be wrung the salesman's band
In coagratiilotlon, but all be said was.
And they still accuse us of export-
log wooden nutmegs!" World's Work.
A Darfng 8katr. .:
Shortly after the fight at Jena la
1806 Napoleon dispatched an officer to
Marshal Mortier requiring him to selz
certain Important towns .without de
lay, Wbeu the officer arrived at tb
month of the Elbe, where the river is
even and one-half miles wide, be wai
threatened with serious loss of time.
The river was just covered with Ice;
therefore to row over was out of the
question. He could not cross by the
nearest bridge without going twenty
miles out of bis way on roads heavj
with snow. So be resolved to bkat
across the thin, freshly formed lea
Had be tried walking he would have
sunk at once, but by skimming along
on Ms skates nt the top of bis speed he
got over the river both dry and un
harmed. Ry this daring deed he saved
six hours, did what Napoleon bade bin
do and won greiit credit for his bold
and clever exploit
