what is Dirt?

OLD Dir. Cooper, of South Carolina,
used to say to his students, +" Don't be-
afraid Of dirt, young gentlemen. What
is dirt? Why, nothing at all offensive,
when chemically viewed. Rub little
alkali upon the dirty grease spot on your
coat, and it undorgoes chemical change
and becomes soap now rub il with lit
tie water and it disappears. II is neither
grease, soap, water nor dirt. That is not
a very odorous pile Of dirt you see yon-
der; we'll, scatter little gypsum over IL
and it is no longer dirty. Everything
like dirt is worthy Of our notice as stu
dents Of chemistry. Analyze; it will
seperate into very clean elements. Dirt
makes corn, corn makes bread and meat,
and that makes very sweet young ladA.
that saw one of you kissing last night.
So after all, you were kissing dirt, par
ticularly if she whiteaed her face with
chalk or fuller's earth; though | may say,
that rubbing such stuf uponihe beautiful
skin Of young lady is-a dirty practice.
4 Pearl powder Ithink is made Of b,smuth
which is nothing but dirt. Lord Palmer
stou's fine definition of dirt is matter in
the wrong place Put it in the, right
place and we cease to think Of it as Dirt

INDIA RUBBER OvER-SHoEs.- Before
1921 the rubber had only been imported
in the form of curiosities, such as croeo.
dlles turtles, and other objects. A sea
captain at that time brought, among 9TH
er devices, some rubber wrought in the
shape of small shoes, and gave them as
present to an intelligent boy. They were
closed over the top, and our hero cut
them open to find only some clay within
IN the forms of lasts. His next desire
was to put them on his feet, but as they
would not stretch enough, he used boiling
water to soften them and then succeeded
in bis purpose. To color them he used ink
which soon washed off, but finally hit up
on the plan of smoking them up the chin
ney- He then had complete the first pau
of india-rubber shoes ever used in thi
country, and his success was the beginning
of business that has now immense pro
portions. Scientific American.
