need setting. This style of setting is
far preferable to 4 combined set and
CUage, for the reason that many saws
contain teeth that set much harder than
others, and with comb inod set and
muage such teeth will spring back, leav-
ing an uneven set in the teeth. To
guage the raking, or planer teeth. use
:; small. straight edge, just long enough
to reach to cutting tooth at each end
when the center is placed over a raller
tooth. Gauge the rakes from one-twelfth
to one-twcntieth shorter than the cut
ting teeth, according to the size of the
teeth.
\ saw with but few teeth will need
the rakcs shorter than one containing
many small teeth. Care should be taken
to file the rakes slim enough so they
will wear down as fast as the cutting
teeth. This will prevent the saw from
riding almost wholly on the rakes after
4 few hours use as it will if the rakes
are filed blunt File every other rake
from one side of the saw and turn the
saw and file the rest from che other side.
In filing all from one side the saw is
quite apt to run sidewise, as it is almost
impossible to file them without bevel-
ing 4 little, which will produce this re-
suit.
In using saw great care should be
exercised not to spring upward on its
end when it is pinched in a log. Many
good saws are rendered worthless by
this straining. The edge becomes too
long for the back and it is impossible
to make it run free and easy. Neither
should saw ever fall even few inches
and strike the teeth into log, especial
" if just filed, as slight turn of the
saw when the teeth are fastened in the
wood is apt to break the joints. II.

A POETS PUNCTUATION.

How Shakespeare Made Dull Readers | Catch His Own Inspiration.
 Shakespeare, as have all but veri- fled to my own satisfaction, at least, punctuated with the decision which we now look for-not vainly-in a Tennyson, a Ruskin or a Kinglake. I have here named three perfect punctu- ators. My verifcation, or almost veri- tication of Shakespeare's own decisive pointing has been attained through the careful study of many passages in 8 no less authentic edition than ''the fa- nous folio of 1923" Here we get back near enough to the original hand and the master-mind to form fair iudg- ment on the subject It is firmly pronounced, articulate punctuation, such as no editor, however ''iu- dicious," could easily have supplied. For let no one imagine printers law of punctuation that is adequate to the demands of 8 poet. He surely must know his own meaning best, and he alone feels, as well as means, what he says. Itis this feeling and this true sig nifcance which he who makes the lan- guage can best impart by mod ulations of his own. My view is that the various forms of punctua- tion accompanying rhetorical com position are like the notes of music, which none so we'll as the com poser himself can properly value. He hears, as he pens, every point. So it must seem to every appreciative read CT, say, of ''The Life of Henry "" Take especially three speeches ot the King. First, the warmly-pulsating ad- dress to his friends: ''Once more unto the breach" concluding with the line: "Cry, God for Harry, England, and St. George!" Next, the rebuke to West moreland, who had wished for ten thousand idle men from England, with the spirited continuation of the speech: "This day is called the feast of Crispian;" and thirdly. the passion ate outburst:
 Twas not angry since came to France
 
 Ride thou vnto the Horsemen on yond hill: If they will fight with vS bid them come dowue Or voyde the field; they do offend our sight. If they'll do neither, We will come to them. And make them sker away Gs swift as stones Enforced from the old Assyrian sIings.
 Not only is every point in those speeches adjusted to the maintenance of true balance, being in no one in- 4oo actual breaks and pauses of the voice are so nicely indicated especially in the ''Crispian" speech, though scarcely less in the compelling earnestness of the invocation: "Once more unto the breach!"- he must indeed be dull of ear who fails to catch the poets own inspiration. n.-Cassell's Magazine.

4 Burglars Clever Trick.

"The younger of the two had entered 8 private resi- dence while the inmates were at tea and the elder stood outside on watch. The rifer was discovered and was soon chased from one floor to another by two gentlemen members of the house. hold. Somebody called 'Policep and the outside burglar, drawing his re- volver, responded. There, there, ladies; don't make any fuss. I'll take care of this fellow he said, and mak- ing a rush he grabbed his mate by the collar and gave him cuff on the neck as he led him down the stoop. The fam fly breathed more freely and the gentle men prepared to go to the station house to swear out complaint. When they arrived there nobody had heard of the case. The burglars had van- ished. It's an old trick, but I haven't heard about it in this neighborhood In many years," -e:ssA1

 The General thanked him in terms of studied politeness, assuring him that he would resign his office in an instant if he did not think his election gave satis- faction to vast majority of the people; and at last regretted his admirers zeal for the public veal should have been so severely taxed on his account.
 ''Oh, no matter for that, sir,' said he; ''I did it with pleasure-I did it for my self and for my country" {the General bowed); land 1 now come to congratu- late you on your success (the General bowed againl. "I thought, sir, that, as as you are now President of the United States, l might, perhaps, be useful to you in some official capacity" (The Gener- al looked somewhat embarrassed.) Pray, sir. have you already made choice of your Cabinet Ministers?"
 ''I have," was the reply of the Gen. eral.
 "Well, no matter for that; shall be satisfied with an embassy to Europe"
 ''I am sorry to say there is no va- cancy."
 ''Then you wifi, perhaps, require a head clerk in department of State2"
 ''These are generally appointed by the respective Secretaries"
 ''I am very sorry for that; then I must be satisfied with some inferior ap- pointment."
 'I never interfere with these; you must address yourself to the heads of departments"
 ''But could I not be postmaster in Washington? Only think, General, how Iworked for you"
 ''I am much obliged to you for the good opinion you entertain of me, and for your kind offices at 5ne last election; but the postmaster for the city of Wash ington is already appointed.
 ''Well, 1 don't much car0 for that; should be satisfied with being his clerk"
 This is a subject you must mention to the postmaster.
 Why, then, General" exclaimed the disappointed candidate for office, haven't you got an old black coat?"
 You may woll imagine that the Gen. eral gave him ono.

MARVELLOUS ADVENTURE. !
A Man Falls Overheard and Is Rescued
 After a Three-Days' Float.

A1ter Ihr6e-DayS' Float.
 A. M. Battye, engineer of the steam CT Gulf of Trinidad, who arrived at Plymouth recently from Barbadoes, narrates an almost unexampled ad- venture which befell him during the voyage of that ship. The Gulf of Trinidad. while voyaging from Iquique for Europe. encountered heavy wealth CT, during which, soon after twelve o'clock on dark night, Battye was washed overheard. The accident was observed on board, and 8 life-buoy was immediately thrown over and the vessel stopped. Battye sunk deeply when reaching the water, but on ris- ing to the surface he struck out swim ming and reached the life-buOy. The way on the steamer had carried her far beyond him, and though the boat was lowered the prospect of finding him in such weather and at night was almost hopeless. Battye soon ceased to see the ship, and when daylight broke he found himself alone on the life-buoy a hundred miles, so far as he knew, from any help He kept afoat throughout the next day, although the tropical heat of the sun was intense. The following night he suffered terri ply from being without any thing to eat or drink and in momen tary danger of being swallowed by the sharks of that region. Another day he held on with amazing endurance, his physical exhaustion and mental anxiety being intense. For the next night he ceased to feel hungry, but suffered from ex- cessive thirst. The third day dawned to find him still in the same position. On the evening of that day Norwe- gian bark passed close by him. the steersman of which saw an object in the water and thought he saw Battye move. The bark was immediately put about and a boat lowered, and aft CT short search, found the buoy, with Battye still clinging to it, al- though when taken on board the bark he was still insensible. He was treat ed with great care and kindness by the Norwegians, and, being trans ferred to home ship, has arrived in Plymouth to tell his marvellous tale. He is a fine young man, about twenty three years of age. The Norwegian captain retained the fe-buoy as me- mento of the wonderful adventure. - London Telegraph tssSsr

THISTLE POMPONS.
How to Make These Charming Additions
 to Bouquet.

How to Make These Charming Additions
 to Q Bouquet.
 An exchange thus tells how to mako beautiful pompons for home decoration:
 Select large, half-blown thistle and cut off all the green part at the base of the blossom, just above the stem. Hang the thistle in the open air, exposed to the sun and wind, and, in the course of day or two, the inside downy part will expand into full, rounded pompon, or puff ball. Then pull out the purple petals which had developed into bloom when you had selected the half-open thistle. Hang up the pompon again in an airy place, and in the course of week it will have bleached a cream white. These pompons are as feathery and delicately pretty as swan's-down. They are great addition to bouquet or basket of grasses.
 Milk-weed pompons are not quite as easily made but are more silky and nearer pure white than the thistles. When the mi.k-weed pods are ripe, make a collection of them, and they can be kept half a year or moro before the pomponS are made, If so desired, or the puff balls can be made at once, as fol- lows: Have some very fine wire, such as is used for bead-work, and cut it into pieces four inches long. Dip the pod in water, and then open it. It will be found filled with many bundles of web like white flberS. Pull off several of these and wrap the wire around the ends which were attached to the center stem. Brush off the black seeds ad- herring to the other ends. Wire a num- Der of the bundles, as just described, then with another piece of wire, to wind round and round, put them together as you would bouquet of flowers, thus making rounded pompon. City florists have these colored a delicate pink, and they are beautiful.

If the first decade of the Chris tian era began with the year l, then each succeeding century must also be- gin with the year 1, and the nineteenth century will not be completed until De- cember 31, 1900.
