Coating for q Leaky Roof

DR.. Kedzie, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, says: "Some inquir-
ing friends have been experimenting
with coal-tar for 'revamping' old roofs
that begin to leak, and extending their
usefulness. The difficulty, so far, is to
find cheap and effective dryer, as the
tar does not set between the shingles
and in cracks, drips from caves under a
hot sun, and during rains washes to
cisterns, iniuring the water for stock.
One correspondent says: I don't think
body" in paint Of this sort and use is
of any great account; saturating the
urably impervio,s TO water thus caus
ing the water to run off readily and
leave the roof dry, is the idea. The ma
terial promising best results in such q
case is water-lime. It can be used COM
bincd with coal-tar as paint, or it can
b. thoroughly busted over the surface
alter the coal-tar is applied. / think
the best results will be secured by COM
bining both uses as follows: Thin the
coal-tar b. adding common benzine, one
part of benzine to twelve of coal-tar,
then stir in good water-lime (entirely
freed from Jumps by sifting) until you
have the consistency Of a strong paint,
and paint this on the leakv roof, cover
ing every part and filling I'll cracks.
Apply at once good dusting Of water
lime to this paintt surface before it
dries. The water-lime retards the run
ming of the tar, forms hard coating
by the action of the water, and conceala
the very disagreeable odor of the coal
tar. OF course, fire must be kept from
this paint, lest the infiammable benzine
should start . combustion difficult to
control. The benzine reduces the
sickness of the tar, enables it to COM
bine or mix more easily with the water
lime, makes it easier to spread on the
shingles, and it soon evaporates, leav-
ing . firm and even covering. The
paint can be applied with q mop If it is
moderately warm when applied.-Chi-
cago Times.

Cutting . Figure.

Il is strange, for instance, what eyre

Of themselves in dancing the figure of

are selected as leaders appear to crdgel
their brains to invent or discover
figures that are idiotic. Here is some
thing observed at large and fashion
able german one night recently. The
dancers were harnessed together in
Glken ribbons, in groups of three
abreast; ON one side three ladies driven
BY . man, and on the other. three men
driven by . lady. In this form to
polka music they danced from one end
of the room TO the other. One can
imagine how utterly absurd they looked,
and yet the figure was considered very
hpa.-Keap York Stas.

Hampton n . Tight Plaee. ,

A middle-aged man approached Gen.
Hampton and asked his influence in
pressing q claim before the Military
Committee of the Senate. The stranger
then said: General, I am glad to see
you again. You do not recoggize me,
but you personally made Apei5oner ol
me during the war" Comparing notes,
Hampton found out that Il was q fact,
and recalled the circumstances. He
was reconnoitering one night. and
missed his way Around him burned
many more camp-fires than he had left
behind him. Entering house, he dis
covered that he had strayed into the
enemy's lines. A few soldiers were
seated at table, and abruptly address
ing them as if a superior officer of
their own army, he asked who they
were and what they we're doing there.
One man spoke up and replied: @We
belong to the Eighth New York Regi-
meut, and Gen. Warren sent US to
get milk" Hampton felt that all Of
his nerve and address would be required
to extricate himself from this dangerous
position. He reached for his pistol,
nelu IL alOn8 Ills tH8n, anu, on IeaV1n8
the house, commanded the man who
had spoken to him to follow. He did
so. Hampton mounted his horse and
called the man to him. Bending down
to the Federal soldiers ear, he whis-
pered: II have a.pistol aimed at your
head and will SHOOT you if any alarm il
made" The surprised soldier whis-
pered: Don't shoot. surrender.
Hampton bade him move on just ahead
of his horse, and so brought him into
the Confederate camp. It was this
man who, after more than twenty years,
met his captor and asked favor of him,
As Senator, that he was more than
willing to grant. It was strange and
romantic coincidence in the returning
cycles of time.-Aa4gusta Chronicle

d The Englishman Superior to the
American2

b The EAglishman Superior to the
American2
An English baronet who travelled
recently in the United States has writ
ten an article for the Nineteenth Cent
cry Rerie,c, in which he compares
English men and women with American
men and women to the disadvantage
of the latter. Our women, according
to him, are not as handsome or as we'll
developed as those of England, while
our men are inferior in physique. This,
he says, is due to the greater attention
given in England to outdoor sports.
The Englishman plays cricket and lawn
tennis, practices in boats and in yachts
far more than the American. The lat
ter is absorbed in business. He goes
to see o baseball match by profess.
sionals, but rarely plays himself. Then.
the average English man and woman
do Ear more walking than do our peo-
pie the United States. ALI educated
Eng hmen hold to the view that the
practice of athletics is very desirable.
At a recent rural dinner, Sir Charles
Dixie, the well-known Cabinet Min
lister, gave it as his view that England
owed to the practice of physical ex-
ercise not only great deal of its
muscle and power, but also great
deal of its success, and, under Provi-
dence, much of its glory in the world

two spent in riding ", and down the
