USE SHARP SAWS,

Instructions How They May Always BE
Kept In Good Order.
The first thing to do when putting
saw in order is to ascertain If the teeth
are of equal length. II not the saw
needs jointing. If the saw goes straight
through the log itdoes not need jointing.
But if the person who files 1T does not
use it he must trust to the eye to de-
eide whether the teeth are of equal
length. If wise is not at hand to hold
the saw, cut kerf three or four inches
deep in the top of stump or the end OF
a log. Place the saw in this and fasten
it with wedge. The stump should
be nearly breast-high to be convenient
To joint the saw, remove the file
handle and hold the file as nearly
level as possible between the thumb
and fingers and run it lengthwise of the
saw, drawing the file backward instead
of pushing it forward. When filing the
teeth do not file them to a sharp point
but leave the end nearly as large as the
head end of very fine sewing-needle.
Few saws will stand to cut through
hard knots if filed to a sharp point.
The points of the teeth will break and
the saw will be in no better condition
for business than before filing.
The next work after filing the cutting
teeth, is to set them. This is best &C
complished by using a saw-set made as
follows: Take thin piece of steel with
holo punched through one end about
as far from the edge as the teeth are
long. Have slot cut from the edge Of
this steel to the hole, trifie wider than
the thickness of the saw. The best
guage is made by putting small screw
with tho joint filed sharp through the
end of stick three-eighths of an inch
square and four inches long. Adjust
the screw to the width you wish the saw
set, take the guage in the left hand and
placeit against the left-hand side of the
saw as you stand facing it from one end.
The end of the screw that projects
over the teeth will show how far the
teeth on the right hand side of the saw

How Millais Disposed Of His Famous
/ "Ferdinsnd and Ariel"
The real successes of life are often
long delayed, but. in a few fortuna e
cases they appear at length in such a
pleasant guise as to be doubly welcome.
When Sir John Millais, tho painter, was
at work upon his beautiful Ferdinand
and Ariel" he was under twenty years
of age, poor and by no means famous.
One day dealer who CHANGED to see
the unfinished picture expressed great
admiration for it.
If l like it as much when it is fin
ished as do now," he said to the young
man, "rll give you a hundred pounds
for it"
The artist was on tiptoe with joyful
anticipation, and both he and his
parents rnade hundred dispositions of
the money, SO that it was soon spent, in
imagination. AS soon as the picture
was completed the dealer was sum
moned to inspect it, and, it was to be
hoped, pay his hundred pounds; but
now came bitter disappointment
II said l would take 1t If liked H. -
announced he. Il don't like it, and I
won't buy it,
There was nothing for the artist to DO
but to swallow his disappointment as
best he could. As for his parents,
deprived of all hope of money which
they greatly needed. they put in the
window sign: FURNISHED Apart.

had been sure of better things.
Millais went on painting, downcast
but not discouraged, and one day all

man who seemed to know a great deal
about pictures. This man listened
synpatheticall to the story of Millais'
disappointment, and viewed the "Ferdi.

II want to present you with book on
art" he said. taking a small volume
from his pocket. BE sure you read it
now. If you'll give me pen, I'll write
your name in it."
As he retired to the window to do so.
the dealer took occasion to whisper to
the young man that his visitor was Mr..
Ellison, wealthy and intelligent
patron of art. Presently the two took
their leave, and Millais Of course opened
his book to see what had been written
on the fy-leaf. Out fell check for one
hundred and fifty guineas. d.&.l q, :
