The teacher asked if any boy or girl knew the meaning of the word. One small hand was raised and ahaken vigorously in the eagerness of the urchin to display his knowledge. When he received permission to speak he rose, and with the greatest assur ance said: "Furlough means a mule." Not a whit disturbed at the teach er's "Oh, no, It doesn't," tho small boy confidently answered: "I have the book at home that says bo." Then the teacher told him he might bring the book to school and show it to her. The next morning he camo armed with tho book and triumphantly show ed her the picture of an American soldier astride a mule, under which was printed, "Going homo on his fur lough."

How She Appears When Fully Attired For the Ball Room. In describing tho costume of a Fili pino belle, one begins naturally at the slippered feet and workB toward the diamond-decked hair. First thing is the media, or long stocking, usually of silk often beautifully embroidered about the foot and ankle, tho embroidery be ing plainly seen because of tho low topped, heelless clilnelns, or slippers, usually worn, which are also often beautifully embroidored on the top. Then comes the vestida, tho long train dress, fastened by a band at the waist. and usually allowed to trail at tho loft side. When caught up out of tho way It Is .passed across the front of tho body and fastened to a belt on tho right side. This vostida is made of silk, satin or volvet, very rich, and as the Spanish tasto for red, yellow and black Is shared by tho Filipino, tho floor of a ball room while a ball is in progress, is more or less of a poem in those colors, with occasional hints of blue and green. Usually these ball and inner vestldas are elegantly and expensively hand embroidered In silk, as much as 7500 to $1000 being often the cost of a single dress skirt. The next garment Is the camlsota, which performs tho function of tho American shirt waist. It surrounds tho underclothing that enfolds the up per portion of tho body, having a low neck, but not cut decolette no Fili pino woman would wear a decolotto dress and has very wide, short sleovos. It Is made of the beautiful' thin plna cloth, manufactured from the fibre of .the plnapple leaf, and is practically transparent. The cloth Is sufficiently stiff to cause the large sleeves to stand out from tho arms and shoulders and not to cling to them as ailk and cotton goods will do, and Is, thorefore much more suited to tho warm climate of tho Philippines. This camlsota Is also usually embroidered expensively, sometimes in whites and sometimes in dollcate tints. The coalla, or collar. Is also made of tho thin, stiff and expensively em broidered pina cloth. It Is about the size of the small opora abawl worn In this country, and Is folded and worn about the shoulders and neck in much the same way, the ends being crossed over the bust and fastened thore with a clasp of diamonds. The hair Is carefully arranged, usually In the Spanish atylo, now so popular with our own young ladles, and all the diamonds thore la room for or wealth permits are used as ornaments. I ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT WILL CLOSE FOR REPAIRS. Large Nut From Follower Head Fell Into the Cylinder, Resulting In Dam ages That Will Cost $2500 to Re pair. This morning nt 4 o'clock there oc curred an accident which will result li closing down tho electric light plnnt for from two weeks to a month rnd which Incurs an expense of be tween $2500 and ?3000 for repairs. The plant was tinder full swing at the hour mentioned, with no indication v.hatevor that any part of the machin ery was either detective or out ot or- dr, and with no premonitory symp toms of an accident. Horman Km- ger tho night engineer, wbb In charge when tho smash camo. Ho had no idea of tho extent or character of the damage, but at onco Bhut off steam and brought everything to an imme diate stop. Dr. Vincent, who always sleeps with a light burning In his room was InBtantly awakened by tno room being In darkness, and at onco went down to the powor house. Examination disclosed tho origin of the break-down to be tho dropping off of a largo nut from tho follower head Into the cylinder. Tho nut is about the size of a man's thumb and fell Into a compartment that Is open at every half stroke of the piston and completely closed at overy half stroke. The first stroke of tho piston result ed In a hole being broken through tho piston head, and tho next few strokes resulted In a general smash caused by the escaping steam and tho engine consequently going wild. The piston rod, four Inches In dlamoter, was bent; tho connecting rod, fivo Inches in di ameter, waB Bprung out of true nt least an Inch and a half. All tho re sult of a 250-horBe power engine run ning wild for about 20 seconds or less. But for the solf-possession of the engineer tho dnmnge would have boon much grentor. Minor parts of tho en glno wore sprung nnd shattered by tho tremendous jarring nnd oscillation of thoso fow seconds, and tho entire engine will have to bo overhauled. It Is not thought possible that tho expense of shipping tho engine to Portland, which must be done, and the repairs there can cost less than J3000. Tho repairs may be effected within two weeks, but from three weeks to a month is moro llnble to bo tho time that will elapse before the plant is running again. This Is the first shut-down of the electric plant for a longer period than two and half consecutive days since tho plnnt was installed 15 years ago. Thoro remains upon tho promises one 100-horso power engine in perfect repair, but It does not afford power to operate tho present plant, which re quires 33 horse power to ovorcome the friction. The management great' ly regrets the accident as much or more on account of the Inconvenience to the public as on account of the ex penso Incurred. Tho patrons of tho company have always been patient and reasonable when accident has re sulted heretofore in delays, and the manager regrets tl"'1 completo unto wardness of tho accident. The cause of the smash is attributed to the disintegration of the iron in the bolt head to which tho nut wbb fasten ed, allowing it to break almost by its own weight. This is a phenomena ofton met with In tho handling of large machinery subject to high and pro tractcd speed. It is a development brought about by time, and no re' search and study has over been in the slightest degree able to dtvlno either when or In what particular place steel will give way that Is a part of rapidly running machinery, that has been In use for many years. Impounded Horses Sold. Nine Impounded horses which have been In tho custody of the city for .some time, wore sold to Walter Llnd Bey yesterday for ?3G. Some of tho animals havo boon In tho city pound for some time, and tho total exponse of caring for them Is not far from tho figure nt which they sold. unnin wwi i lu In comparing Orain-0 and coffee remember that while the taste Is the same Gruin-O gives health nnd strength while coffee shutters tho nervous system and breeds disease of the digvxtlvo organs.
