, HALF HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.
Is Fallal, bat Many Merchants Close
Their Stores at 8.30.
At tho last meeting- of the clerks'
commutes' at ithelr room on WeJnes-
t. day evening; the committee in regard
tk' to ttoe Friday half holiday roporttd
that the meeting- had been a failure.
The reason that they gave was that the
merchants could see no permanent
benefit In It. And the Boston store
will b the only one to adopt tho
schema The committee further says:
"After It became evident that the op
position to the Friday half holiday was
oo strong- we set bout offering a com
promise to close at .3t) on M.uuluy
evening- all the yean round except but'
urdfcy and during- the holidays. Iaa
Lone was the first to sign nd It was
afterward presented to several of tho
leading merchants In this city and th
following signed lit or adopted It inde
pendently with some alterations: Lang
feld Bros., A. ii. Doran & Co., Klouter
Bros.. Joseph 8. Coons & Co., Jonas
Long's Sons. Joseph H. Orr, II. Lend
Un. , the Broadway. A. KUne. Mrs. J.
Reese. Laxarus Bros., Miss Lazarus
and all the grocery merchants with the
exception of Lewis Brown. What ac
tion the merchants would take on ths
following Monday evening was
watched with great interest, and to the
"., surprise and delight of hundreds of
( clerks the following merchants closed
at -S0 independently: Isaac Long. A.
M. Doran as Co., Jonas Long's Sons,
' Joseph 6. Coons A Co., Lanfeld Bros.,
T. F. Klrby, Joseph H. Orr and all the
. grocery stores. We recommend the
' Adoption of ithe movement by this asso
.' elation as the only solution of the ear
ly closing question. We believe it to
, 1e the thing most calculated to benefit
. h clerks permanently, which will in
' convenience the public the least."
- At the same meeting the annual elec

lowing result: President, Henry Ham

CHEAPEST OF METALS.
Aluminium Will Surely Take This Hank
In Tlma-Tha Slow Reduction Which
Has Taken Plaoe la Its Prlo.
What metal is four times lighter In
weight than silver, (but very nearly as
brilliant, possessing, indeed, so little
weight that It -will almost float on the
water, so abundant that it Is found in
common clay, so sonorous that when a
bar of it la struck it rings like a bell,
so malleable and ductile that it may be
rolled Into the thinnest sheets or drawn
to fine wire, and so tenacious that when
beaten in the cold it becomes nearly
as hard and strong as Iron? It con
ducts heat and electricity as well as
silver, but unlike silver is slow to tarn
ish or corrode and neither nltrto or
murlatlo acid 'will affeot It. Aluminum
or aluminium Is the name of this won
derful new metal, that has long been
known to exist and possess all the val
uable properties mentioned; but ot
which no one can make use of. owing
to the expense of extracting it from the
clay.
A German, WoPhler, as long ago as
1S27 used to produce aluminum from
clay in the form of powder by a chem
ical process, and twenty-eight years
later a Frenchman learned how to pro
cure it In 'larger quantities; but the
cost of extract! tot It was $90 a pound,
much too expensive to be of any use to
amy one. Recently, however, vy the
means or electricity, it has been dis
covered that aluminium can be readily
and Inexpensively taken from clay, and
now in this country and m Europe all
manners of useful and ornamental ob
jects are beln mad of It. Pots, pans,
scarf-pins, ploture-frames, thimbles,
tea-services, dashes and even yacht
keels are manufactured of th wonder
ful aluminium, that, for Its light
weight and the fact that It does not
tarnish prove In many Instances vast
ly more useful than steel, tin or silver.
Because it la so abundant It wlH be-
come in tlm the cheapest of metals.
Even now one can buy for 10 cents a
pretty aluminium thimble that does
not. tarnish arvd will last a long as any
one needs. An aluminium kettle, big
enough to boil av ham In, can be lifted
on and off the tov as lightly aa a tin
pan. An a hi minium tea-pot never
needs pollahln;.
QIS TEETH A DYNAMO.'
Cirriit 0narstd by th Plat of a 8t of
Falsa Molars,
A curious as has just been recorded
In which aa leotrid car rent was1 found
to be gtnaratcd r a plat of animal
teeth, tays Industrie and Iron. A pa
tient consulted hi dootor on account of
a sever pain to Ma tongu. But th
auffafer. was aaaurad tha tbr was
nothing the matter. He then paid a visit
to his dentist, who Informed him that
his teeth were perfectly sound. Being,
however, dissatisfied, he called upon an
electrician whom he knew, and aaked
him If It were possible that he could
have any electricity ln his mouth.
Oa examining the teeth his friend
found that two metals were used to
lit . them to a composition plate. To
these metals wires were then attached
and connected to a galvanometer. Then
the teeth were replaced In the patient's
mouth and the metals moistened with
saliva. No sooner was this done than
the galvanometer showed quite a large
current from so small a source enough,
It Is stated, to cause ulceration and se
vere pain when long continued upon so
sensitive an organ as the tongue. The
plate waa covered with an Insulating
varnish and thenceforward all the
trouble ceased.
THE DESTINY OF BOOKS.
What Ue Domes of All the Tomes Annually
Turned Out from th Printing Press la a
Mystery That Nobody Sue mi to Ba Able
lo Solve.
The question Is often asked, says a
writer in the Cleveland World, what
become of all new books? From the
big publishing houses or New and
Boston there is an output of new books
that is astonishing In its magnitude
booka of all kinds and characters.
When It is considered that it costs sev
eral hundred dollars to put ln type
and print a work of SOU paes. It is a
puzzling proposition how all of these
works pay for themselves. Do they?
Surely, if they did not pay, the pub
lishers could not bring tlwtm out, one
after another, with bewildering regu
larity. And these publishers occupy
splendid buildings in the most fash
ionable quarters of the big cities.
It Is often asserted that one success
ful book pays for many failures. If
this Is really the case, there must be
Immense profits for the firm that is able
to accurately judge the public taste and
thus make few mistakes. But what be
comes of the failures? Nobody hears
ot bonfires made of these books that
fall. The second-hand dealers will not
purchase books that nobody will buy.
The big department stores get some of
these; but no great quantities of them,
for thew handle only cheap editions of
popular works. The pnper manufac
turers say they can make paper out of
the raw material cheaper than they can
"boll over" the printed sheets.
A book which Is popular today Is
utterly forgotten tomorrow. It was
only a short while ago that "The Quick
or the Dead" was the most talked of
book; yesterday, it was "Robert Els
mere;" today. "Trilby." Will these
books, a hundred years from now, find
a place alongside "The Vicar of Wake
field, "Ivanhoe," "Esmond" and "Cop
perfield?" Absurd Errors of Judgment.
The history of literature teachers that
nobody makes more absurd errors of
judgment than those writers whose
works are now admired by posterity.
Milton declared that the "three great
est English poets were Spencer, Shakes
peare and Cowley." And Cowley, too,
was tho "darling of Dryden." Be
tween 1656 and 1681,, seven folio edi
tions of his works were published. The
first edition out thirty-three years be
fore Cowley's first, but his fourth not
till four years after Cowley's seventh!
Cowley, In short, was more popular
lt his age than the Immortal Shakes
peare! Cowley's works were even
more popular than Milton's. In twenty
one years only four editions of "Par
adise Lost" were required! (Milton was
less applauded even by his contempora
ries than was Waller. Cowley had been
dead sixty years when Pope asked:
"Who how reads Cowley?" Such Is
fame! It la not unlikely that In less
ll:n the critics will be asking:
"Who now reads 'Trilby'?"
In 16K0 Sir Thomas Blount published
a work In which he had collected the
Judgments passed by learned men on
the most famous writers of the ages.
Among these famous writers are not
found Spender, Shapespeare and Milton.
Those boyis which were most talked of
In their day have been the ones which
have been soonest forgotten. Yet, how
to account for Blount's overlooking
such names as Spencer, Shakespeare
and Milton is hard to account for.
Albeit, Bacon was born three years
before Shakespeare, and outlined him
by ten; yet "In his multifarious writ
ings row here either quotes Shakes
peare or alludes to him."
That Phakespeare should be neg
lected In h!a day la as difficult to under
stand as that certain books which now
sell by the hundreds of thousands ever
found a publisher.

Theodora Hallam one defended a bur

waa conducting a vigorous cross examina

man?"
"Yea." '
' "You knew h wcg a burglar whan you
married him?"
"Yea."
"How did you come to contract a matri
monial alliance wtth such a man?"
"Wall," the witness said sarcastically,
"I was getting old, and I had to choosa
between a lawyer and a burglar," The
cross examination ended there. Answers.
