Nitro-Glycerinc.

Nitro-slycerine is composed of nitric acid
one part and sulphuric acid two parts, to
which is added ordinary glycerine, and the
mixture 10 washed with pure water. Though
not the strongest explosive known, being ex-
oeeded in power by nitrogen and other pro-
ducts OF chemistry, it is, thus far, the most
terrible explosive manufactured to any ex-
tent. Nitro-glycerine by itself is not safe to
handle, hence dynamite of which nitro gly-
cerine is tho active principle, is preferred.
Pure nitro-glycerine has a sweet, aromatic,
pungent taste and has the peculiar property

May day, 1912, saw the birth of Joseph
Addison, whose memorial may be seen now
at Westminster Abbey, in the Poets Corner,
where is kept alive the memory of other
great names of English literature. His father
was a clergyman, and the son had the advan-
tage which good education gives. lie
worked we'll at his books, and at Is was
able to enter at Queens college, Oxford. He
afterwards became Deny aE,l subsequently
fellow of Magdalen. There his portrait
still hangs III the hall, and Addison's VI ak
preserves the memory of his favorito resort
by the shady banks of the Cherwell.
As young man, his Latin and English
poems attracted some notice, and pension
from the government of $500 year enabled
him to travel on the continent. Upon his
return to England he found himself in pow
erty. But a change soon came. His garnet
up three pairs of stairs in the Haymarkot
was one day visited by the chancellor of the
exchequer. Would Mr.. Addison write a
poem in honor of the Duke of Narlborough's
victory at Blenheim! Mr.. Addison under
took the task, and his poem was n success.
Rewards now flowed in, and, encouraged by
success, Addison produced other works

literature was almost unknown on tho con-

there. Three years before his death he mar

the union is said to have been an unhappy
one. He suffered much from asthma, and

Removing Stains of Various Kinds.

To remove fresh fruit stains from table
linen, cover quickly with powdered starch,
or pour boiling water from the tea kettle
upon them.
Finely sifted wood ashes will remove med
icine stains from silver spoons. Egg stains

better than benLine, chloroform and similar
cleaners

Miniature,

The origin of the word miniature" is as
follows: In the golden days of Roman litera-
ture, to be a successful author was to be as
great as a king, for kings looked to their
poets for Immortality, as Augustus Caesar
did to Horace. Hence it was to be expected
that authors would feel their Importance and
display moro or less vanity One of their
weaknesses was to see their portraits painted
in artistic fashion in their parchment books.
This work was intrusted to artists called
"miniatores," that is artists whose work was
largely done in vermilon, color extracted
from cinnabar, and called by the Romans
minimum" Those "minatores' chose the
oval form for their beautifully brilliant por-
traits on the parchment books, and hence
the origin of the term miniature a small
hand painted oval or round portrait.

THE CURIOSITY CHOP.
omens In History-Before tho Death of
Eminent Persons.

Omens In History-Before tho Death of
Eminent Persons.
Omens, according to Staufer in his vol
ume, "The Quaint, the Queer, the Quizzical,"
constitute the poetry of history. They cause
the series of events which they are supposed
to declare to flow into epical unity, and the
political catastrophe seems to be produced
not by prudence or by folly, but by the SUI
perintending destiny. The numerous tokens
of the death of Henry w are finely tragical.
Mary de Medcs, of her dream, saw the bril-
liant gems in her crown change into pearls,
the symbols Of tears and mourning. An owl
hooted until sunrise at the window of the
chamber to which the king and queen re-
tired at st. Denis on the night preceding her
coronation. During the ceremony it was
observed with dread that the dark portals
leading to the royal sepulcher beneath the
choir were gaping and expanded. The flame
of the consecrated taper held by the queen was
suddenly extinguished, and twice her crown
nearly fell to the ground. The prognostica-
tions of the misfortunes of the Stuarts have
equally a character of solemn grandeur; and
we are reminded of the portents of Rome
when we read how the sudden tempest rent
the royal standard on the Tower of London.
Charles l, yielding to his destiny, was obsti-
nate in the signs of evil death.

So the king sent one Of his men to the tree
to see what made the CRY. The man went to
the tree and climbing up in it found a great
eagles nest of sticks in tho fork Of the
branches, and, much to his astonishment, he
saw a little child lying at tho bottom of the
nest. 1t was warmly wrapped in a purple
cloth, and had gold bracelets on its little
arms. He took the child up gently and car
ried it carefully to the king, who was as
much surprised as the man had been but he
sent it home to his palace with orders that it
should be well taken care of. AS the child
had been found in nest, it was called Nest
ling, and was known by that name after it
had grown up to be strong and distn-
gushed man. No one ever found ont what
was his real name, or who put him in the
eagles nest when he was baby.

Water boils at a lower temperature than
PIP dogs. Fahrenheit when the air is not
allowed TO press upon it. Fill glass flask
Lulf full of water, boil it briskly; while tho
steam is escaping cork it, removing the heat
from under it Immediately. The cold air
cOndenses tho steam, tho cork prevents the
air from entering, and the water, thus re-
lieved from pressure, begins to boil, the heat
already in it being sufficient for that pur-
pose. Put the flask into cold water; the
ebullition then increases, the steam being still
more effectually condensed. Put the flask
into boiling water and the boiling stops.

Useful Suggestions.

Skim milk used in place of water to clean
oilcloth gives it brightness and luster.
Cherry wood can be dyed to initiate old
mahogany by dipping it in coloring fluid
made by soaking logwood chips in vinegar
for twenty-four hours or longer,
1t is said that small bag of sulphur kept
in drawer or closet that is infested with
red ants will quickly disperse them This is
easily tested.
A small, soft brush should be used for
cleaning celery and potatoes 1t is no trouble
to keep one especially for this purpose, and
it will save hands and time
Do not place raw meat directly on ice, for
tho juices are apt to be withdrawn; nor
should it he left in the wrapping paper, but
put on an uncovered sarthsn dish Or platter,
and then set on ice.

Observations made of wasp nests and the
workers therein have led to the conclusion
that these insects give splendid attention to
ventilation. In lot weather from four to
six wasps woro continually stationed at tho
hole uf cgrcss, and, while leaving space for

Pickles.

A lump Of alum added to the vinegar in
which pickles are scalded renders them crisp
and tender, and if covered with cabbage or
grape leaves, fresh, green color will be i'm
parted. Pickles will keep best by being bot
tied, sealed while hot, and set in q cool place.
Bits of horseradish and few cloves, with a
handful of sugar to each gallon of vinegar,
assist in preserving its strength. Ginger is
a wholesome spice for pickles; cloves are the
strongest, then allspice, cinnamon and mace.
Mustard seed is considered by many cooks an

Hard or inferior pears can often be made
very acceptable by baking them. Wash the
pears, removing the blossom; fill shallow
earthen pudding dish, pouring over them a
little cold WATERFALL a teacupful of water
to quart dish. Put in a moderate oven, and
when they have baked about half an hour
sprinkle little sugar over the top An hour
is generally long enough to cook them. These
are improved by having sweet cream poured
over them when served They may be eaten
warm or cold.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
Fright, Tasteful Furnishings and Curtains
for n Spare Room.

Bright, Tasteful Furnishings and Curtains
for n Spare Room.
A very effective pillow case can be made
with strips of fine linen joined with en-
broidery insertion an inch to all inch and
half wide, the breadth of the linen strips to
vary according to taste. This can be
trimmed either with n frill of linen or lace.
The pillow itself should be covered with
plain colored sateen, to show through the
insertion A spare bed is usually stripped
when not in use the sheets being aired and
put on as the bed is required, the blankets
neatly folded and laid on the mattress, but
colored chintz Counterpart, with frill of its
own or coarse Torchon lace trimming, has
very good effect and makes a room look
cheerful
For half window curtains there is nothing
more attractive than a soft muslin with a
frill of the same passed on tho rod, made
rather full and allowed to hang straight
down, pushing them back or drawing them
together, as desired.
Two pretty ways of arranging short mus
lin curtains are as follows: Divide the mus
lin plain or figured) into three pieces, and
edge the center one with a small frill down
each side, the others with frill only on the
inside. Hem them at the top, and pass tho
brass or ribbon band through them; tie the
center pieces together in the middle with
ribbon and bow; loop back the sides also with
ribbons and bows. The bottom of the blinds
may be either left loose (hemmed and frilled)
or passed through another brass or ribbon
band; or, hem the muslin at tho top and
frill it each side; run the rod or band through
the hem. Then gather the bottom into a
band of the muslin about one inch deep and
six long, and fasten fan shape) with tiny
tacks or drawing pins on to the center of the
window frame.

Standard Time Inventor,

Dr. j. W. Porter, of Kansas City, claims
to be the originator of the standard time
system. He says the subject was first brought
to his mind in 1873, when he was in the coast

watches. He finally marked Off standard
time map, and his system was adopted.
