When horses were used to turn tt??
wheels of machinery, many years ago.
by means of a treadmill the horse
came to stand for a unit of power, ac
cording to the size of the machine he
could work. When steam engines dis
placed horses U waa natural to refer to
their capacity . on the hauls of the horse
power unit by speaking of an engine ss
being able to do the work of two, three,
foor or more horses. 80 the custom
waa established of using the term as
de*crlptlY? of power?
The fact la, liowe*er. that * horse
power really means a greater powerl
than is expected of d horse and greater
than s horse la capable of. It weans the
power to lift 30,000 pounds one foot in
one minute. But custom keeps- n'Mre
the old term to Indicate the unit of
power for an engine or electric motor.

THE MELLOW GLOW.
tugfeetive Notea About ths Charm of
Lamplight and Mirrors.
Somehow or other the idea of select
ing a lamp aa a symbol of magic pow
er waa a good thought on the part of
the tale teller who invented Aladdin,
for there la a charm about lamplight
that Is bard to resist. A a one woman
Who la doomed to high gas brackets In
4 boarding houae alwajs says: "There
are two things whicb are going to pre
dominate iff my houae if I eter have
one of my own, aud they are lamps
and mirrors. There will be a low
shaded lamp in every corner snd a
mirror to reflect It."
8urely tbe searcher after enchant
ment will not have a hard time of It In
the modern lamp store. Any period,
color scheme and decorative theme
can be matcbed up In a lamp. The
newest additions to these gloom dis
pelleni are tbe Japanese lacquer laiupe
with shade* to match. Tbey are rath
er tall, but very graceful, and are in
tbe familiar black lacquer ware, wltb
Its gold and red traceries. The shades
are of heavy prepared paper, echoing
tbe same lacquered patterns. This
matching of shades with stands Is not
limited to the Japanese lamps. There
are very pretty pottery bases in black
and whjte of colors which have the
designs repeated upon tbe paper
ahades;
Crackle war* ntandards are unique In
their pebbly colored simplicity. Tbey
may be low and bulging or high and
tnpering. but they require Alt effect a
bla<fc an<r white or bright colored shade
on simple line*. Wicker lam pa are
pretty for tbe wicker living nonstable
or for the bedroom When they are
enameled In white tbey often show
dainty silk or chintz flowered shade*
Mahogany stands are very popular
for more formal use Often they are
wired for ~electr|D||yr aa are alt the
other* previously teentloaed, and eve
ased with colored sTlk shade*, shirred
and fringe trimmed, or with a' high
colonial glasa ahade on the order of
the large glass shaded candle* tic ka of
bygone days. One of theee mahogany
randleeflrka has a tall glaas cop shade
lacerated with ? small landscape In
teaee of aepta.
Floor lamps arafomlng in again for
aaors general use! Tbe standards are
often mahogany, oak to match the fur
niture, baaae or bronse. A novelty In
theee lamps to a email smoking tray |
and accessories attached to a standard
?heat halfway to the floor.
