The simple burglar alarm that has been under test by tha police authorities in Dresden and Berlin seems to. have resisted all attempts to pass without giving warning. It consists of a curtain or portiere, wired with fine conductors connected at certain places with metal kno'.>s. and when this is drawn across the door or window, or around the safe, the slightest disturbance throws the knobs out of contact and breaks the electric circuit. The alarm may be signalled by a series of bells, lights, or other electrical appliances, either on the premises or at the policc■tation. Cutting the material or interfering with it in the slightest degree has instant effect, and the wiliest burglar is unable to enter the premises having this apparently trifling protection withcr.it giving notice. Something of a record in weddings was created in the little town of Columbus, Kentucky, when five brothers led five sisters simultaneously to the altar. The five best men were all brothers and the five bridesmaids all sisters. The girl who has a heart within, One heart at least may hope to win, But there's no girl who wins so many As she who really hasn't any.
