By a vote of 41 to 2 the Batli cjity cor
poration has decided to sell the munic
ipal lighting plant, which .it purchased
in 1890. As this had been-Ain at a
loss, even without allowing for depre
ciation, the sale will result in an Im
mediate reduction of local taxes.
The Irish Independent states: *
“The Bray urban council have de
cided to offer.for sale their electric
light works, which have been run at a
very heavy loss, while the cost of pub
lic lighting was ia excess of that of
■Dublin, although the lamps were only
lighted for a third of the time they
were in the metropolis.”
The Dublin municipal plant, how
*' iv, was run at u loss last year of
f over $20,000, irrespective of deprecia
tion, which would have brought the
, loss up to $50,000.
A Losing Game.
The city council of England, Ark.,
has passed an ordinance leasing the
municipal electric light and water
plants for six y xs. An inquiry as to
jQje cause of this action brought the
fallowing reply:
/The reason that the town wanted
lease these was because for it to
Operate them was a losing game, and
could aet afford it”
The Vanishing Trick.
Into the grocer’s shop walked an an
cient lady with a slow and butting
tread and carrying on her arm a bas
ket containing a large earthenware pot
with a lid. Placing the basket on tbe
counter, she made various purchases,
which she put carefully in the pot, and
had her Wll made out.
"By the way,” she said before paying
this, “do you ndud keeping this pot
jivith the purchases in it until I come
back and pay for them, as 1 have to
buy other things some distance off,
and it will be more convenient for me
to leave tbe things here till later?”
This request was willingly acceded
to, and, lifting the pot carefully out
of the basket, the old dame placed it,
with an effort. In a corner; then.' plac
ing her basket on her arm, left the
shop. Hours went by, day ripened
into evening, and evening gave way
to night, but the old woman did not
return. At last the proprietor thought
of examining the earthenware pot to
see if by any chance it had its owner’s
address upon it, and great was his as
tonishment, not untinged with dis
may, to And that it possessed no bot
tom. —London Answers

Hoped He WewWn’t Grow.
A well known member of parliament
was addressing an agricultural meet
ing in the south of England and in the
course of his remarks expressed the
opinion that farmers do not sufficiently
vary their crops and make a mistake
In always sowing wheat.
One of the audience opposed to him
in politics asked him what crops he
would recommend.
“Everything in turn,” he replied.
“Well,” said his interlocutor, “if
swedes don’t come up. what then?”
“Sow mustard,” mild the M. I*.
“And if mustard doesn’t come up.
what then?"
And so he went on through a whole
list of crops until, the M. IVs patience
being exhausted, ho put an end to his
questioning amid roars of laughter by
saying:
“Oh, sow yourself, and I hope you
won’t come up.”

one. When he came back he saw Ills
distinguished employer still sitting on
the log, but with the muzzle of his gun
