and again Mr.. Westinghouse Jenkins
paused in the middle of the column
and said-somewhat impatiently to
the clerk who entered
"Welly'
gentleman says he must see you.
Only wants a minute. Says it may
be matter of life and death to you.'
"Oh. well, show him in"
A moment later the stranger en-
tered
"Sit down." said Mr.. Westinghouse
Jenkins.

Hold On.

Hold on to your tongue when you
are just ready to swear, lie, speak
harshly, or use an improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you are
about to strike, pinch, steal, or do an
improper act.

Local antiquarians and biologists
are enchanted at present with live
toad found in the course OF railroad
excavation at Greenock, Scotland
The toad is from 10000 to 10000 years
old, as the stratum of clay in which it
was found certainly dates to the
glacial period. Its mouth is sealed
up. 1t breathes slightly through the
nostrils, and though the eyes are quite
expressive it does not seem to see.-

CHOCOLATE CRRAMS.-Delicious
chocolate creams are made as follows:
Boil one-half pound of sugar with
three tablespoonfuls of thick cream
till it makes q soft ball in water,
then let it cool. When cool beat it
very white; flavor with a few drops
of vanilla and make into balls-the
size Of a large pea, or little larger,
then take unsweetened chocolate and
mix it with a little of the fondant
melted-there should be more choco-
late than sugar-and when quite
smooth and thick enough to mask the
cream, dip them in the mixture and
drop on paper.

cELLuLoID PRODUCTS.
They Are Made of Gun Cotton, Henc,
Should BE Used With Care.

They Are Made of Gun Cotton, Hence
Should BE Used With Care.
Umbrella and cane handles, collars.
cuffs, and scores of other articles of
convenience, utility and even elegance,
manufactured from celluloid, are in
daily use by large numbers of people.
The question is asked: MAY they be
safely used?" Celluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex-
plosive compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with
a mixture of two parts of nitric acid
and five parts of sulphuric acid. The
cellulose of the paper, derived from the
cellular tissue of the cotton in common
use, is changed by the combination and
becomes gun cotton. To make cellu-
loid, the excess of acid is washed out
by a free use of water, and by pressure
carefully applied. After the removal
of all uneombined acid, it is reduced to
a homogeneous pulpy mass, strained
until it becomes nearly dry, and is
then mixed with about one-third of it's
weight Of gum camphor These ma
terials are mixed as uniformly as pos
sible by careful manipulation with
wooden instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned
out by grinding is spread out and re-
duced to slabs of various thickness and
rolled between steam-heated rollers.
and then becomes moderately elastic
in strips of medium thickness. In this
form it is worked up into the various
articles which are offered for sale and
use. Although gun cotton is easily
manufactured, its manufacture for ex-
pertinent or for general use is not rec
ommended; and, although celluloid ar
tieles may be safely used with ordi-
nary care, a bonfire of such articles for
is not recommended. No
injuries from such use have been re.
ported. A word to the wise, however,
suflees. --Amerioan1Aaalyst

The Renaissance of the Fan.

After a long interval, long period
of neglect, the year 1929 saw revival
in the taste for fans. 1t chanced that a
grand ball was preparing at the Tuil-
cries, at which several costume quad
rifles were to be danced. Madame la
Duchesse de Berri had undertaken to
get up Louis XIV. quadrille, and
was seeking everywhere-had sought
everywhere in vain-for fans of that
period. Suddenly some one remem-
bered having seen some old fans in the
shop window of a perfumer named
Vanier, who lived in the Rue Caumar-
tin. Vanier had collected old fans for
some time as an amateur. His fans
were taken to the palace; in the quad
rifle they created Juror, and were
all purchased. The Duchesse de Berri's
ball began the renaissance OF the fan.
