WATER DRINKING.

Children are apt to drink more water
than they need. You doubt it, my dear
child? When you come in the house
painting and thirsty from play, you Will
take tumbler of water and drink it
down as fast as you can, and then re-
sumo your play after rushing out, and
perhaps repeat the drink. Now, the
next time you feel thirsty try this ex-
pertinent: Take a goblet of water and
slowly sip it. Before it is half gone your
thirst will be fully quenched and you
will feel better for having drunk only
that which you need. And again, we
are all apt to acquire the habit of drink
ing while eating our meals. Animals
don't do it, and it is hurtful to us. Ma
ture gives us all the saliva we need, and
if any one will chew his food slowly and
thoroughly, and not take a swallow of
drink until through eating, the desire to
do SO will soon leave, and he will re-
quire only few sips of water. tea or
coffee after the meal is finished. This
practice, too, will do wonders in the way
of keeping off indigestion, dyspepsia and
illness.

DEATH OF "APPLETON'S JOURNAL"
Doubtless many persons who have
not been In the habit of reading Apple-
toms Journal were surprised at the
recent announcement in the papers that
q large publishing house, with abundant
means and mechanical facilities, had
abandoned the attempt to establish a
profitable and influential magazine. And
if newsdealers and subscribers surmised
that the December number was to be
the last of Appleto's's Journal, it was
not because of any statement to that
effect in its pages, so silently did an
enterprise, conspicuously launched only
a few years ago, sink out of sight. The
experience thus sadly terminated Illus
trates the fact that perseverance does
not always achieve success.
The Journal began its unfortunate
career as an illustrated weekly, and, by
slow degrees, abandoned one feature
after another, and, changing its arrange
ment many times, became at last an
illustrated eclectic magazine, in which
form it has finally disappeared from
view.-Neao Yori; Tribune.

HENRY CLAYS DOG.

Mr.. Clay had a fine Newfoundland
dog that was presented by an admiring
friend who lived in Nova Scotia. The
dog was very intelligent, and the "Sage
of Ashland" trained him with his own
hand to perform number of wonderful
tricks, one of which is as follows: In
one of the pastures in which Mr.. Clay
allowed his finest stock to run was a fine
well, with large trough attached, by
means of which the cattle were supplied
with water. The water was drawn from
the well by the bucket and-spindle sys-
tenn, but it required great deal of
manual labor to keep it in operation.
To avoid this Mr.. Clay constructed a
small treadnaill, attached it to the spin
die of the well with an iron crank, and
then trained the dog to walk the tread
mill. In this manner the trough was
kept constantly filed with water, and
the clever dog became SO accustomed to
the performance that, without the neces-
sity of being bid, he made it his duty to
watch the well constantly and see that
the trough always had in it sufficient
supply of water to keep the coppers of
the blooded stock cool. Mr.. Clay loved
the dog, and was fond of watching him
go through the performance. He would
always have the performance exhibited
to his visitors, and when the good old
canine finally gave up the ghost he had
him respectfully buried, and erected at
the head of his grave an elegant marble
slab.

NDUsTRIAL SECRETS.

Our ancestors had little faith in pat
ent laws to protect their rights in inven>
tons. What they discovered or invent
ed, they concealed.
Workmen were put upon an oath
never to reveal the process used by their
employers. Doors were kept closed,
artisans going out were searched, visit
ors were vigorously excluded from ad-
mission, and false operations blinded
the workmen themselves.
The mysteries of every craft were
hedged in by thick-set fences of en-
pyrical pretensions and judicial affirm
alton. The royal manufactures OF por-
celain, for example, were carried on in
Europe with spirit of jealous exclu-
siveness.
His Majesty of Saxony was especially
crcumspect. Not content with the
oath of secrecy imposed upon his work
people, he would not abate his kingly
suspicion in favor of a brother monarch.
Neither King nor Kings delegates
might enter the tabooed walls of Meissen.
What is enormously called the Ores
den porcelain-that exquisite pottery of
which the world has never seen its like
was produced for 200 years by process
so secret that neither the Bribery OF
princes nor the garrulity of the opera
tives revealed it.
Other discoveries have been less sue
cessfully guarded, fortunately for the
world. The manufacture of tinware in
England originated in a stolen secret.
Few readers need to be informed that
tin ware is simply thin iron plated with
tin by being dipped into the molten
metal.
In theory, it is an easy matter to clean
the surface of iron, dip it into bath OF
boiling tin, remove it enveloped with a
silvery metal to place for cooling. In
practice, however, the process is one OF
the most difficult in the arts.
It was discovered in Holland. and
guarded from publicity with the utmost
vigilance for more than half century.
England tried in vain to discover the
secret, until James Sherman. a Cornish
miner, insinuated himself master of the
secret, and brought it home.
The secret of manufacturing cast
steel was also stealthily obtained, and ia
now within the reach of all artisans.

THE Pacific ocean was discovered by
Balboa, Sept. 5, 1913.
THE British Museum was first opened
Jan. Is, 1859.

From December, 17S8, until March,
1889, the Delaware and Ohio rivers were
both frozen and navigation suspended.
In 1880 snow fell two feet deep In Ohio,
and the rlver was so firmly frozen that
mounted troops and artillery wagons
rode across by the hundred.
Cars are called pussy by some peo-
pie, but why they call them "pussy"
instead of by their particular name is IN
t'mately and closely connected with the
question why red apples grow on green
leafed trees. The word "pussy" is the
Iamll word for cat, and has been intro
duced INTO the language through folk
lore. Nearly all fairy stories about cats
come TO us through the Persian, which

TIE first Mayor of New York was
Thomas Willet, who was born in En-
gland III 1911. He came to Massachu-
sets when is years old, and in 1647 sue
ceeded Miles Standish in the military
command of Plymouth colony. When
the English took New York from tho
Hollanders, in 1864, Capt Willet was
chosen Mayor of the city and admins
tered the Government for two years, at
the expiration of which he returned to
New England, where he died.

The famous hanging gardens we're
built by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to crafty his
wife Amyihs, a native of Media, who
longed for something in that country to
remind her of her mountain home.
These gardens consisted of an artificial
hill 400 feet on each side, rising by sue
cessive terraces to height which over
topped the walls of the city. The ter
races themselves were formed of sue
cession of piers, the tops of which were
covered by flat stones sixteen feet long
and four feet wide. Upon these were
spread beds of mating, then thick
layer of bitumen, covered with sheets OF
lead. Upon this solid pavement earth
was heaped, some of the piles being hol,
low, so as to afford depth for the roots
of the largest trees. Water was drawn
from the river to irrigate these gardens,
which thus appeared like O. hill covered
with verdure.
