Cdrpsnters, csbinet-makers, and arti-
sans in wood generally, often encounter
difficulty in withdrawing a screw
from work, ty the screw turning
around under the application OF the
driver, and refusing TO come out OF ltS
place. In such a case the screw may
have been driven nearly home originally
by a hammer instead OF with driver,
and hence no regular corresponding
thread been formed in the wood In
other cases the screw may have been
properly driven with driver, yet being
In old work the thread may have
oxidized from the screw, or the wood
about the thread may have decomposed
so as to leave the thread OF screw
without a matrlx. Under either OF
these circumstances 1t becomes neces-
sary to wrench off hinges and parts
fastened by the screws, oftentimes 10
the great injury of the WOODWORK SO
assailed and always with that rlsk
The London Bladder offers simple
way out of this dimculty, VIZ: the
application of heat to the head OF the
screw, which may be done with a
heated poker or some such instrument
A few moments of such application
will render the withdraw of such a
contrary screw as easy matter with a
driver as If II had been recently and
properly driven. The Builder suggests
in driving screws that their tips De

or oxidation.

TOUCHED IN A TENDER SPOT
One of the most pathetic sights L have
seen in a long time L saw the other at
ternoon. An oldIsh man stood on the
corner of a street, with eyes cast down
and a look of agony on his face. He
was signing heavily as he poked thick
stick into cracks and breaks in the as
phaltum, which was terribly open to
such poking, He seemed to be heart
broken. L was studying this picture
when a friend came UP.

The Ladies' EaNorite.

The newest fashion in ladies' hats will
doubtless cause a fiutter of pleasurable ex-

Prescription is a positive cure for the ills
which affiict females and make their lives
miserable. This sovereign panacea can he
relied on in cases of displacements and all
functional arrangements. It builds up
the poor, haggard and dragged-out victim,

want to take the small sum of money.
All that he wanted was sufficient
money to buy bread, for it is in evil
dence that he did not take the pocket
book containing $500 that was in tue

taken the pocket-boOok. "
