An Excellent Cement.

A cement that will stick to anything Is
what the following is said to be. The
formula is attributed to Professor Win
chell: Take ounces of clear gum arabic, ~
ounce of fine starch and 4 ounce of white
sugar. Pulverize the gum arabic and dis
solve it in as much water as the laundress
would use for the quantity of starch indi.
Gated. Dissolve the starch and sugar in
the gum solution. Then cook the mixture
in a vessel suspended in boiling water un-
til the starch becomes clear. The cement
should be thick as tar, and should be kept
so. 1t can be kept from spelling by drop
ping in lump of gum camphor or little oil
of cloves or sassafras. The cement is very
strong indeed, and will stick perfectly to
glazed surfaces, and is good to repair
broken rocks minerals or fossils. The ad-
dition of small amount of sulphate OF
aluminium will increase the effectiveness
Of the paste, besides helping to prevent de.

Wet and Dry Days on Cable Roads.

To an engineer of Chicago cable street
railroad is attributed the following: I'VE
have found that the power required
for the operation Of the system on rainy
days, when the tracks were wet, was
fully 20 per cent. less than on dry days,
and at the same time we estimated
that at least 25 per cent. more passengers
were carried at such times. This gives
very large showing in favor of wet
rails where cable power is used, and the
adhesion between wheel and rail is not
depended upon for traction. With steam
locomotive or an electric motor the result
Is just the reverse for with them the slip
page is excessive when the rails are wet.
Under these circumstances rainy days are
a greater blessing TO the cable roads than
is generally supposed"

MakiDp the no.t Of 4. yaca,Ion.

Two teachers who will spend their
vacation across the water have been
taking measures all winter to secure the
greatest amount of benefit from their
two months trip. They have wisely de-
cided TO undertake only a little, and
cathedral England is to be the limit of
their sight seeing, except what comes
incidentally in pursuit of this plan.
Before Christmas they began the study
of English cathedral architecture to find
that it led them back through the Rom
anesque and Greek characteristics to its
Egyptian source. Through reading and
attending lectures bearing upon the sub
ject they have secured an intelligent
conception Of the various styles, and
they expect pleasure and profit in apply
ing this knowledge during the coming
trip. To see more of the country about
the English cathedral towns they mean
20 walk wherever practicable, and to be-
come accustomed to long tramps they
have been taking preparatory stretches
daily for weeks past, Six weeks in Eng
land to these two young women will
mean more than a year would to some
inattentive, unprepared travellers. Her

Girls Interested in Many Subjects

The manager of big newspaper clip
ping company tells me he has lately had
an odd experience in his peculiar line.
He has had orders from seventy-6ve
dollars to $3.50 week in one dollar or
ders for twenty clippings from young
ladies or ladies who prefix Miss to their
names, and who are in the original big
list of the -Four Hundred, on the most
extraordinary topics for young ladies to
be considering-dogs, horses, Monte
Carlo, pugilism, boxing and other sub
jects, supposed to be uninteresting to
the fair and fashionable ones? He ex-
plains it by the discovery he made that
this way of informing themselves ON
topics in which they know their friends
are most interested, so as to be able to
talk intelligently to them on their own
subjects, is really fashionable craze
among the ladies just now. And it
strikes me there is a good deal of
method in this particular madness of
the fashionable young woman wishing
to make catch.-New York Recorder.

England not long ago. With Us was a
pretty American young lady from Rich

ing US the various trophies which Eng

properly enthusiastic.
''The bullet that came near ending the
life of the Duke of Wellington at Water

young Prince Imperial in Zululand, all

captain of artillery was rettled at her

show US that he thought would arouse
her. 1t was trophy of Bunker Hill.
Pointing to it he said very impressively,
as he looked solemnly at the American
girl:
That cannon was captured by the
soldiers of George III at the battle Of
Bunker Hill. 1t is one of our proudest

Women Who Deserve Wealth.

Two hardy women from Los Angeles
appeared at the land Office in Santa Fe,
n. NJ, a couple OF weeks ago and filed
upon homesteads which they had To-
Gated. The land is on the eastern slope
of the Zuni mountains. and in order to
reach the place the women had to travel
eighteen miles from the railroad station,
walking much of the time because of the
bad roads and often wading through
two feet of snow. A number of men
were waiting at the railroad settlement
for the snow to thaw, so that they could
locate claims, but the women said they
had no time to wait. and they waded
through the snow.
A Michigan syndicate had bought 20O,-
coo acres of railroad land in that region,
planned improvements and projected
lumber mills, and as the indications
were that 300 or 400 people were plan
ming to found a colony there, the women
thought they saw big future and they
put in their homestead claims. A num-
Der of similar instances of women

homesteaders have come to notice lately
