Mr. I.ttxluckl's confidence In strangers was then put (o a severe test, for shortly aftor his lonely vigil began tin; corpse drew a revolver and despoiled him of his watch and his monny. From this story ono may get two morals. In the first place, It Is well to rend the criminal news in tho ilnlly papers. If Mr. Luzlnrkl had fol lowed this rulo he would havo known thnt only a few days ago a "sick man" played In another little Incident the part which was taken this time by a "corpse."

Tho second mornl to which Mr. l.uzlnckl has given point is that under certain circumstances ono ought to repress one's lnsHnct (q ho obliging, GROWTH OF ELEOTRIO LIGHT.

With tho growth of a strong national sentiment, there hns been nstonlshlng progress In all tho depart ments of Industry whero trained In telligence and skilled hands play an Important part. Manufacturers ot tho United States, of Great Hrltaln and of Franco havo Inquired Into tho causes of this rapid proBrcis In Germany. They ngrco that It Is largely due to superior technical education.

Tho political economists go even further and declaro woman's dress not only ugly but costly and impractical, pud Professor Veblen in hla "Theory of tho LelBuro Class' states: "Tho high hool, tho skirt, tho lrapractlcablo bon net, tho coraot, and tho gonoral disre gard of tho wearer's comfort which ! an obvious featuro ot all civilized women's apparel, aro so many Items ot ovidonco to tho effect that in the modern civilized schemo of llfo th$ woman Is tlll In theory the economlo. dependent of tho man that perhaps In a highly Idoallzod Benso she still i the man's chattel."
