One Wa, Ia Clean N ch,m,.x

There is no need Of sending for a sweep
when your chimney needs cleaning. The
easiest way To clean a chimney is OF course
To hire somebody Ia do IL for you, but in
default Of a professional the job may be
easily and successfully done by couple of
amateurs. One should tie cord to a
brick and go ON the ro0f with it, and the
other, who ought To liz a greenhorn, should
be- instructed to hold a large bag at the
bottom Of the chimney.
Then the man on the roof should pull
the brick up and down the chimney. and
the man below will catch hi the bag most
OF the SCOT that does not 20 in his face or
ON his clothes or ont in the room. There
is no doubt as To the efiicaciousness of the
methosl, but one who wishes 10 try the ex-
pertinent should persuade some one else TO
hold the bag.--St. Louis Globe Democrat

When cowslips come again, and spring

And hfe's in love with everything.
With everything but death
Let me not die, though we must die
When bowls are brimmed with cream,
When milch cows In the meadows liza
or wade amid the stream;
When dewy dimpled roses smile
To see the face of June
And lad and lass meet at the stIla
Or roam beneath the moon
Since We must die. then let me die
When flows the harvest ale,
When the reaper lays the sickle by.
And taketh down the fiaii;
When all we prized and all We planned
is ripe and stored at last,
And autumn looks across the land
And ponders on the past,
