Women Can't Understand,

YESTERDAY morning, when a De-
troiter found himself alone with an
old woman in Baker street car, a
feeling of loneliness came over him,
and to shake it off he remarked:
"Well, the political crisis will soon
be over"
"Eh? Speak to me?" she replied.
"What did you say about crisis?''
"The political crisis will soon be
over"
(Which one?"
"Why, the election-it will soon be
over.'' :
"It will, eh? They think it's best to
have it over, do they?"

observed. .....
"No; 1 don't think 1 am, though of
course it may run in the family.

but he went on:
"What do you think of the situa-

A Walk Half the Distance to
the Moon.

In these days of great pedestrian
feats it is worth while to record the
doings of an old Yorkshireman who
has just died at the ripe age of eighty
four wears at Masham, in Yorkshire.
James Heap was a schoolmaster, and
carried on his calling in wild and
bleak part of the county, walking
every day a distance of eight miles.
He lived at a cotton mill just below
the village of Uealey, which is the
western part of that portion of York
shire called Mashamshire. His school
house was four miles distant at Col
tersdale, which is still further west,
and among the bleak moors and wild
hills leading away to Westmorland.
A storm of wind and rain is no
tri6ing matter in these parts, and dur
ing a snow-storm the snow very often
drifts so thickly as to make the roads
almost impossible, but no condition OF
the weather or the atmosphere could
shake James Heaps steadfast purpose,
and he never had any ailment or accl-
dent which kept him from going his
dailv round to the school and home
again. Many time had he to wade
through snowdrifts to find that
his pupils were not able to reach
the school, and he was con-
stantly subjected to drenchlng
rain in the winter months. Yet from
December, 1922, to January, 1867, he
never missed a single day, and during
.292 consecutive weeks he walked
more than 10000 miles, or nearly
five times round the world. Nor was
he altogether idle on Sundays, for
during forty-two years OF this period
he shared with others the teaching OF
a Sundav-school at a place called Sum-
merside, about the same distance from
his home, and in an equally dreary and
wild district on the moors with Colt
ersdale; seventeen Sundays in each
year during these forty-two years did
he walk eight miles to teach, Whlch
adds an aggregate of SIP miles to the
former sum, so that taking Sundays
and week days into the reckoning, he
would, if he had continued his work
for rather more than another year,
have covered distance equal to half
the space between the earth and the
moon.
The old man, until quite lately, en-
ioyed good health, and the schoolmas-
ters' Association had only lately writ
ten to tell him that an annuity which
he had been in receipt of for some
time would, after the 1st of Novem-
ber, be still further increased.-Lon-

A PAPER lately read before the So
ciety of Public Analysis in Glasgow,
Scotland, cites experiments which go
to show that the enameled lining of
iron pots is sometimes acted on by
acid fruits, salt and other substances
used in cooking in such a way that
large quantities of lead and arsenic are
dissolved and mingle with the food.
Enamel taken from three pots made by
as many different manufacturers
showed that all contained arsenic, two
contained lead, and a one per centum
solution Of citric acid boiled in the
third roughened and destroyed the
enamel at once, diSSOlving enough lead
to give dense black precipitate with
hydrOsulphuric acid. The highly basic
character of all the enamels renders
them peculiarly susceptible to the ac-
ton of even feebly acid solutions, and
consequently wholly unfit for use in
cooking food.
\ CITIZEN of Sacramento, Cal, has
invented a contrivance for the safe
transportation of domestic animals
destined for the markets. 1t consists
simply of stout netting spread over
a wagon bed and swung upon iron
stanchiOns. The legs of the animals
pass through the meshes of the net
ting; they cannot rise from it, and are
transported securely and without suf-
fering. The inventor asserts that his
cOntrivance does away with the neces-
sity of tying the animals, and allows
them to be free and enjoy plenty of
air-thus avoiding all danger of
smOthering or wounding- also
prevents the pain which follows tying
and stoppage of the circulation. 1t is
alleged that even hogs will not at
tempt to break through the netting,
and that it can be made to secure
them as etfectually as a board pen.
M. SKALWEIT writes to a German
naturalists' journal that last summer
he observed a wasp flying about a
writing-desk near an open window
There were some steel penholders on
the desk, and the wasp went into one
of the tubes. 1t soon began to bring
in small caterpillars, building each in
with earthly paste till the tube was
full. In each cell also an egg was de-
posted. M. Skalweit took away this
holder and put another in it's place.
This was likewise filed by the wasp,
though in rainy weather and at night
the window was closed. Four holders
were thus filled. Opening the holders
at the end of August NJ. Skalweit
found the Larvae grown and the cater
pillars consumed. The wasp in ques-
ton was the Odynerus p0rietunn,
which usually constructs its cells in
old fence-posts, hollow plant stems,
old walls, etc.

OUR THdNKSGITING.

Meath weight of all the good things known
Our little table will not groan.
No, not the very least;

With many welcome joyous guest
To help us at the feast.

Well not regretfully look back
And sigh for better days,
But we will fill in every part
The spacious store-rooms Of our heart
With gratitude and praise.
Well count our present blessings o eE,
And We shall find they number more

Our happy, thankful thoughts shall be

They will reward US, too.

And covetous unrest,
But, bending lower down our gaze
To poorer homes, to saddor ways,
Thank God we are SO blest.
Thank God that though our home is small
1t still contains the dear ones all,
Rich in affections wealth;
Thank God we have enough to eat,
Thank God for clothing warm and neat,
Thank God ior perfect health;
Thank God we feel the fires warm glow,
While many cold and freless 90
In many cheerless home.
Oh, yes, most gratefully we'll lift
Our souls to God for every gift,
And trust for all to come.
Thus round our frugal little board,
With cheerful hearts wen praise the Lord
And keep the jubilee;
Nor shall there anywhere be found
Within this Nations utmost bound
A happier family.

The combustion of iron in air

The combustion of iron in air is
chemical phenomenon now made COM
paratively easy to the eXperimenter.
The most practical method is to take
straight bar magnet of some power,
and sprinkle iron filings on one Of its
poles. These filings arrange them
selves in accordance with the lines Of
magnetic force, and. however closely
they may appear to be placed, of course
no two of the metallic tilaments are
parallel, and consequently certain
portion of air is enclosed as in metal
lie sponge. The fame of any ordinary
spirit lamp or gas-burner readily ig-
mites the finely-divided iron, and 1t
continues to burn most brilliantly for
considerable length of time, the COM
bustion being, apparently, as natural
and easy as that of any ordinary sub
stance, and the light normal, though
