ReaIFrIends.

You may have heard your 3other tel
how, when she went to school, she ha'
such dear girl friend, and how they tx,
have Kept up the friendliness for many
longyears, and you have perhaps heard
hersay that school friendships are often
the most enduring Of any. Then yoU
have wondered If you and your present
'.best friend Sill love each other wher
both Of you are gray-headei Now let
Us see how things stand between you
and your best friend Anna. OF course
you ike her very much, but you must
confess that very frequently there comes
little Tiff and you fall out" When
such thing happens you strAightwsy
transplant your affections to some other
girl, and your friend does likewise. You
tWo scarcely speak " hen you meet, and
generally make point Of showing great
devotion 10 the new friend in the pres
ence Of the old one
NoW isn't II rather silly 20 have these
unhappy differences so frequently If
Anna does some very unworthy act, then
she deserves the loss Of your friendship
but is your regard SO frail thing that II
cannot stand small differences Of opin-
ioa CAnno: you be more generous 3?
If your friend IS logable and you are
the kind Of cir you ought to be, then
you viii bear with her inconsistencies
aud puiup with some Of her faults. Per
haps you are not quite perfect yourself,
ana ste may have to bear some things
Tor you. ifyour friendship is the real
thing, You will remember that love hop
eth ali things" -beareth all things, and
50 bearing many things patiently aud
sseetly, you siii find that years viii not
weaken, bat will rather strengthen, your
mutual bond Of interoourse.-Harper's

1t is a common belief among farmers
fsome communities that to plow the
round when it is covered with snow II
.enefcial, the snow serving as manure
o a ceItlin extent. This belief has
probably arisen from the fact that the
alling snow brings down some of the
gaseous matter in the air, but the real
benefit arises from loosening the sol

from the sun to render portions of the
unsoluble matter Of the soil available.

The Care of Brushes,

Do not neglect your paint brushes.
Dip them in an old can containing ben
zine, kerosene or turpentine, then wash
thoroughly with soap and hot water.
Pearline is,e"en better than soap; it re-
moves the color rapidly and does not in
jure the bristles if they are well rinsed
in clear water afterward. Put your
brushes in a jar, handles down, and
leave them to dry. One of the oldest
sights iii an artists studio is the number
Of brushes disposed in various artistic
bits of pottery in hooks and II
Some painters pride themselves on
owning many hundreds of brushes of
every possible style and size. Handsome
brushes are ruined if let dirty; itmakes
the hairs cOme out, but the large brushes
used IL common work will not be in
jured by being left in water we night
if You intend to use them for the same
colOrS next day.
Burn your paint rags when you have
done with them. Oily rags are very in
tlammable and sometimes take fire spon-
t~aneously when left i'll d heap in some
corner.-Harper's Young People.

Tastins Counterfeit Coin.

"Here's the way we test coins in the
treasury" And the expert swiftly poised
the dollar piece horizontally on the tip
of his forefinger, holding the thumb a
quarter Of an inch away from it and
gave it a brisk tap with another coin. a
clear silvery ring sounded out. "Good,
but here; l~isten;" and he repeated the
operation with another coin that gave
out a dull, heavy clink that ceased al
most as o as it began. TYPE metal
and lead; nodded too. That Is a
wretched counterfeit" ''How do you
tell that it was molded!" He held the
two coins so that the light struck on
their edges.
Just compare the reeding, will you,
or milling, as most people call it? In this
genuine coin this is very clear and sharp
cut, in the counterfeit it is coarse and
dull. That is because it is nodded instead
Of being stamped in cold metal like the
government coins ''Why do the
counterfeiters not use the same cold
process 1T costs too much and makes
too much noise. With a mold, you see,
a cOunterfeiter a carry on his work in
a garnet and if a policeman IN in he
can shy the whole outfit out of the

usually harder to detect, though it is
never so perfect as that of the govern

The Lady Was Not the Ghost.

An Irish family once had a ghost so
troublesome that they sent for detec-
tives. One of these men late at night
fell asleep in his chair. The lady of the
house CHANGED to come into the room
gnd could not resist the temptation to
groan and rattle her keys. She had
never played ghost before: it was a mo
mentary i~ndiscretion. But the police
man did not, and could hardly be ex-
pected to, believe this. He said it was
hardly worth while to bring him from
Dublin. and he withdrew in dudgeon.
Yet The lady was not really the ghost.
He was sulking in retirement. Hence
doubt has been cas on the ghosts of
haunted houses, even among rejecting
minds.-London Illustrated News.

there was more economy in labor than
in politics, and more solid comfort and
independence TO be derived from honest
sweat than from class legislation.

trip 10 a n%eighboring settlement. Failing
TO return at the end Of the appointed

found no trace of him. For six days the
entire party searched for him. On the
sixth day they found some minerals
placed by NerhOff on ii rock and traces
Of his footsteps To a large wicked looking
glaZier, and here all signs Of him were
lost. No signs Of the missing man were
found and they were forced to believe
that lie had met his fate in one OF the
numerous crevasses. The expedition was
a great success, among Lieutenant 'ary's
discoveries being one of a great DAY, lati-
