A GREAT COMBINATION.
When Husband, Wife and Mother-in-law
Co-operate.
Shortly after his mnrrlage. which
took place in 1880, John liurns, the
British labor leader, settled down as a
journeyman engineer in Hattersea nnd
twenty years after confessed that he
was the first engineer to make with
his own hands an electric train
car in Great Britain. In those days,
however, people did not believe that
electric traction was possible) and
Bums had to take the dynamo nnd
train to the Crystal palace and run the
latter round the grounds for six months
before people could be induced to be
lieve In the novelty.
But the people were so nervous that,
although the churge was only sixpence,
none of them would venture In the
newfangled Invention. Then Burns was
struck with a brilliant Idea. He snld
to his wife. "Yon have jot to come
down to the palace three limes a week
and get Into the first electric trnm env
as a decoy dusk for the others." This
was only temporarily successful. So
Burns brought along his mother-In
law, "and," said the energetic labor
leader when relating . the Incident,
"when a husband, a wife and a mother
Ih-law co-operate success is assured."

"The only details 1 ain't goln' to

"And how do you find yourself to

"Ah, Martha, I'm. very bad. This

stage: scenery;. "
Modem 8ettlng Tax. the Ingenuity ef
ths Builders..
The big scenic artists do lyiie actual
painting beyond making the model,
unless they have a panoramic- effect.
That they do themselves, standing on
the paint bridge, many feet; from the
floor, while the 1 canvas Is raised or
lowered. The panoramic affecta are
hard to handle. One difficulty Is to
avoid fluttering when n clrnft sweeps
across the stage. Mountains that
tremble hazily are- not onmMclve to
Illusion.
With the elaborate productions of
late years the lmportance-of the build
er of scenery has Increased, says Ev
erybody's Magazine. Formerly, when
the scenery consisted merely of can- .
vas stretched over a wooden frame, It
was simple enough. But the struggle
for realism and sensational effects has
developed difficult problem for the
builder of stage scenery to solve.
Every piece of scenery must be made ',
so that it can be folded Into strips five
feet nine Inches wide, becaune the
doors of the baggage cars In which It:
Is transported are only six feet In
breadth, Also every piece must be
light and so constructed thnt one
scene can be removed nnd another
put In place within ten- minutes. It ,
may take thirty hours of 'continuous
work to get the scenery "set up," to '
use a technical expression,, after It Is
brought Into the theater. After tbnt .
the work of changing a scene Is com-'
paratlvely easy.
A DOGS' CLUB.
London's Luxurious Resort For Aristo
cratic Canine Pets.
London Is the only city In the world
boasting a dogs' club. The club is In a'

dero and close to Regent street, nand
8ome rugs cover the floors, the win
dows nre veiled In lace and silk, and ;
luxurious sofas are ranged against the

lows are scottered about for the com--fort
of aristocratic dogs 'who prefer
the floor for n nnp. Dainty sntln lined
wicker baskets ore provided for fhO
smaller pets. The membership fee Is
half a soveaelgn, but this does not in-"
elude meals, baths or tips to the at

Ladles going shopping or to the thca-
ter leave their pugs nnd poodles at thej
club nnd give the attendant In ebargol
at the time a few shillings for looking'
after It, but If the dog la fed half a

A Candid Critio.
"A criticism that has helped me a
great deal In my work came from a
man to whom I took a picture to be
framed," said a young woman who!
spends much of her time copying In the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. , "As thei
picture progressed my friends told mej
It was fine. Some of the other copylstsi
said it had value, character, good color-)
lng and all those things, and even one
of the guards in the gallery got real
friendly one day and remarked that lti
was the best copy of that picture he
had seen. I began to think that maybe, j
after all, my several years of study,
were beginning to bear fruit At the
framer's I picked out a nice frame, and
the framer began to figure on the cost
"Til tell you, miss,' be said, 'thati
frame will come to $3.08. If I were
you I'd get something cheaper for thati
picture.' "New York Sun. !
: "8etting the River on Fire."
In old English times, when each
family was obliged to sift Its own flour,'
it sometimes happened that an ener
getic man would turn bis sieve so rap-i
idly as to cause It to catch fire. The!
style of sieve used In those days was
called a "temse," and It became a cus
tomary saying that a lazy man would
never set the temse on fire. Now, It
happens that tbe name of the river
Thames is pronounced like the name
of this old flour sieve, and after manyj
years, when the old fashioned temse!
iwas forgotten, It was thought that set-'
ting the temse on fire meant settlngi
the river on fire, and that Is why to-j
day we say that a stupid person will!
never set the river on fire.
