YOU DON'T PAY UP.

Or How to Get the Most Enjoyment Out
of Your Blessings.
At a recent Sunday-school service In
Detroit the clergyman was illustrating the
necessity of Christian profession in order
to properly enjoy the blessings of provi-
dence in this world; and to make it appar-
ent to the youthful mind, he said: For
instance, want to introduce water into
my house, | turn it on. The pipes and
faucets are in good order, but | get no
water. Can any of you tell me why | do
not get any water?'
He expected the children to see that it
was because he had not made a connection
with the main in the street. The boys
looked preplexed. They could not see why
the water should refuse to run into the
premises after such faultless plumbing.
Can no one tell what | have neglect
ed?" reiterated the good man, looking
over the flock of wondering faces bowed
down by the weight of the problem.
Il know" squeaked little fve-year
old. You didn't pay up!''

low Screws on Ocean I,,,o,c.s

In order to DO away with the cnor-
nous pressure of the water against the
front OF ocean steamships an English
inventor has introduced u novel device
which he claims will enable faster time
TO be made by vessels, in addition 70
facilitating the mancuvering of ships
and tending to avoid collisions The
invention consists Of one orInorc screws
ON each side of the bow, each forty five
degrees with the bow, AMI ninety de-
grecs from each other. Experiments
made with these screws show that tho
water is thrown from each side of tho
bow, forming deep we'll in front of the
vessel and allowing the stern screws to
effect their full power in propulsion.

The manufacture of grape baskets
has grown to be an industry second only
to the raising of tho crepe in many Of
the towns along the shores of Lake
Erie, says the Jamestown IN. W Sun.
a grapc-basket is constructed of bass

splint-pas!set was 9se{s ItWas a eheap-

durable, and,: containing but four
pieces, was of course more easily made.
Many people while in the grape country
might be curious to know just how
many of these splint- baskets could be
made by one man workinga month. A
tilt that Perry Bigolow and Charles Ben
nett of Portland once had between them
illustrates. tho possibilities of splint-
basket making.
Each man differed somewhat rs to
tho capabilities of tho other in that
direction, and to settle the matter they
started IL thirty-day match. without
gloves, catch as-catch-cnn, no particu-

not only question of cxpcrtncss, but
OF endurance. Both worked in the same
shop.

like 1osh, moved tho hammers in the
hands of the two men; like fash the
splints were bent into place and the
nails scnt flying into their sides with
the speed of 50 many hornets, and bas-
