Filling Nail-Holes.

Carpenters and painters have frequent
occasion to fill up nail-holes and other
defects in the woodwork of houses.
Putty is the substance relied upon to do
this work, but there are objections to its
use. The Scientific American recommends
this substitute:
Take fine sawdust and mix into thick
paste with glue, pound it into the hole.
and when dry it will make the wood as
good as new.
One correspondent says he has followed
this for thirty years with unvarying sue
cess In repairing bellows, which is the
most severe test known. Often by
frequent attachment of new leather to old
bellows frames the wood becomes so
perforated that there is no space to drive
the nails, and even if there was the re.
naming holes would allow the air to
escape. A treatment with glue and saw.
dust paste invariably does the work.
while lead, putty and other remedies
always fail.

It is clear that the cities of the United

pie and one-sixth of the land surface of
the globe. The estimates which give

tricts, will probably either pass Phila-

Quaker City, making three American
cities above the million line. New York.

more people than there were in the
United States at the close Of the Revolu-

Recovered from the Deep.

Dredging operations now being carried
out at Santander, Spain, have resulted
in the discovery of the we'll preserved
wreck Of warship of the fifteenth OF
sixteenth century. She must have been
in her present place for 400 years and was
partly covered by deposit of sand and
mud. Divers have brought up guns
which bear the united arms of CASTLE and
Aragon, the scroll of Isabella or the
crown and initial of Ferdinand. This
ship would appear to have been employed
as a transport, and inasmuch as some of
the arms are of French and Italian make
it is supposed that she formed part of the
fortunate expedition against Naples under
Gonzalo de Cordoba. She probably
foundered while entering the port Of
Santandar on her return from Italy laden
with trophies and plumber. Among the
coin recovered are some bearing the i'm
age and superscription of Charles VIII.

contemporary Italian States. III Cham.

Did you ever come across man with

those numbers that are obtained only by
the multiplication together of prime

temperament, 81 is an unpleasant number.

1t Takes DIZZINESS to Mend Gloves.

Every one who has attempted the task
knows that it requires a particularly def
touch TO mend rent in glove success
fully. In the picture Of Hilda, the hero
Inc of the Marble Faun, engaged in
mending her gloves, Hawthorne draws
attention to the grace of this peculiarly
feminine task. The best glove members
In the world, unfortunately for tins senti-
ment, are men, professional glove-sew-
ers, who handle the kid and needle with
methodical dexterity. A rip is a simple
matter with them; it is in mending a
tear In the kid that they show their skin
The color of the glove is carefully
matched in silk taffeta or any silk goods
Of firm, light quality, and in sewing silk.
A piece OF the silk is run on the inside
carefully under the rent so as to bring the
edges together, but not so as to show on
the outside of the glove, and the edges
of the kid are then drawn together by |
almost invisible stitches, as a cloth |
member mends cloth.
Properly rubbed with the finger, the
rent hardly shows if it is not in a place
where the stitches are stretched when the
glove is worn. Even this the silk be-
meath tends to prevent After little
perseverance any one can catch up this
art OF glove mending and learn to do the
work with something Of the skill of an ex-
pert. A rip in the stitching even NAV be
stayed with a bit of silk, where it is
'aused by a special strain, and NAV be

A WAVE EGG.
Novel Means of Pumping Water at q
New Jersey Resort.

1 Underneath the pier of the Bond Wave
Power Company at Ocean Grove, \. j.,
4 mammoth iron egg floats upon the top
If the waves. In mild weather the egg
Oobs up serenely, rising to height OF
about IA inches above the dead level of
The sea. but when the weather is rough
and great rollers come rushing in. the
egg rises forcefully upward feet or
more. 1t cannot get loose, for it is made
fast to the pier by long, strong arms of
iron. Up from the top of the mammoth
egg rope runs. and after it has passed
over a pully, it stretches on shoreward
and at last enters a wooden building sit
uated upon the beach. In the building
is pump, and the rope is in connection
with it. The pump is lifting about 3, 900
gallons of water minute. raising it dis
tances equivalent to the height of the
waves.
Inc explanation of the apparatus and
the work it is doing is that Mr. n. o.
Bond, whose namesake the Bond Wave
Power Company is, has successfully COM
pleted an experiment undertaken primar-
lily to determine if it were possible to
make the ocean, by the motion of its
waves, pump enough of itself into Wes-
ley Lake to make that lake body of salt
water. There are people living in Asbury
Park and Ocean Grove who, considering
that the sources Of the waters Of Wesley
Lake are in swamp lands, judge that the
lake is to some extent a health-menacing
body of water, and they have for some
time wished that it might be sailed. Mr.. |
Bond says that he viii have no difficulty |
in making Lake Wesley salt, and he ex-
poets to do il this summer He saws that
ne is perfectly satisfied that his new
wave machine will not only do the work
which it was especially devised to do.

ound valuable machine for doing other
Kings which need to be done economi-
ally.
He says that the machine is strong
nough to work comfortably in the
oughest weather, and that ii is built with
n especial view to making it run with
cry little supervision. He says that the

The new machine may be used where

Valley r. r. Co., and the fact that

Squire Brink of EaglesMere, had
business ut the county seat on Thurs
day last and early in the morning
shouldered his gun saying to his
family that he would take hunt on
his way over and if he finished his
business as early as he anticipated
in the day, he would continue his
hunt on his way back to the Mere.
This was all right and the family
did not think anything about it, but
when o'clock p. III. came and Mr..
Brink did not put in an appearance,
then something was wrong. The
family notified their neighbors OF
the absence of Mr.. B. and it was
generally thought that he had be-

number stationed themselves on
Glass Hill and fired muskets, repeat
ers and revolvers that the old gentle

way back to his family. All
this was going on when John Au
miller who had visited LaPorte that
day drove up Mere ave. and on his

remained at I.aPorte until 8 o'clock
for free pass on Johns buss. The
neighbors pulled in their horns and
the family ceased their sobbing, while
