further for his bill and Senator la-
bell, who had not read It in detail,
asked that it be temporarily tabled.
This motion, was lost 12 to 12, the tie
being a negative one.

ple but was willing to 'give those op
posed to it an opportunity to be heard
and his motion to reconsider- the mo

, & New Milford Railway Company and
, regarding the rights of Bridgeport and
Danbury Electric Railway company,

iden under civil service and. .the bill
was tabled. Mr. Ryce threatened to
adjourn the House if a vote was taken

this objection the bill was carried.
Upon the bill providing that In cities

V Delicatessen Wrves."
; "Why is Jt that a twelve dollar a
week clerk usually buys a thirty cent
luncheon?" asked, a prosperous man
who was regaling himself at a down
town lunchroom on a glass of milk and
a piece of pie. : ,. '.'!
- "Because he has a delicatessen wife,"
was the reply of his observant com
panion. '.':' ' i'"'--,-
The men 1 who were standing cp- to
ten and fifteen cent luncheons in that
busy eating place were obviously more
prosperous than the men having thirty
and thirty-five cent meals at the tables.
.. "Those bookkeepers and clerks have
to get substantial meals at noon to keep
fit for their work," the pan went on
to explain. ' "I employ six of them
one' at $14 and five at $12 a week. I've
Inquired - about, their home arrange
ments. . They all live the same way
coffee and cereal for breakfast, delica

they have to eat substantial food at
noon. A plague on these delicatessen

The Sawfish.'
More energetic than any other sharks
are the sawfish, whose snouts are pro
longed Into a broad blade of cartilage.
which Is horizontal when the fish Is
swimming In a normal position - and
has both "Its edges set with slightly
curved teeth about an inch apart. The
end of this formidable looking weapon
is blunt and comparatively soft, so
that it is Quite incapable of the feats
popularly attributed to It of piercing
whales' bodies, ships' timbers, etc It
attacks - other fish by a swift lateral
thrust of the saw beneath them, the
keen edge disemboweling them. Then
It feeds upon the soft entrails, which
are apparently the only food tt can
eat from the peculiar shape of its
mouth. Xt has an enormous number
of small teeth, sometimes as many as
fifty rows la one Individual, but they
are evidently unfit for the rough du
ties required of their teeth by the gar
bage eating members of the family.
, The Turk and His Teilet.
- Though the dress of the Turk Is elab
orate, he Is most fastidious when It
comes to questions of dress. He gives
one hour or more to the adorning of his
mustache. It is no mean task to change
it from flaxen to jet black, perfume it
with rose and amber and soothe the
straggling ends. Another hour Is given
to the dyeing of his Hps and the caring
for his eyelids and another in practic
ing his most fascinating smile. He
gives the same attention to his wearing
apparel. It is of finest broadcloth, or
vlvet and covered with embroidery of
heavy gold. His arms and chest are
left bare to show the splendid polish
of his ebony skin. Grace is added by
his capote, draped with great chic. But
this splendor would be nothing with
out a sword with gilt handle, a watch
with concealed miniature, a tobacco
pouch of knitted gold and a pistol often
studded with precious stones.
