When to Wind Your Watch.

During the night your watch is quiet,
as it were-that is, it hangs in your
vest without motion or touch. If you
don't wind it at night, the handspring
is then relaxed. instead of being in that
condition during the day. By winding
it in the morning the handspring re-
mains close and tight all day. 1t keeps
the movement steady at time when
you are handling it, running about the
city attending to your daily affairs. A
relaxed handspring at this time accounts
for fine watches varying slightly.-In-
duStridl World.

Creases in drawings, engravings, etc.,
may be leveled out by following these
instructions; Fasten the engraving or
drawing by drawing pins on a board,
face downward on a sheet of paper; on
the back place another sheet of paper
which retains very slight quantity of
moisture. Over this place flannel or
plotting paper, and taking hot iron
pass it carefully over the part where
the creases have been made until they
disappear, and then submit the draw
ings or engravings to pressure between

Laugh.

There is absolutely nothing that will help
you bear the ills of life so well as good
laugh. Laugh all you can. If the clothes
line breaks, if the rat tips over the milk
and the dog elopes with the roast, if the
children fall into the mud simultaneously
with the advent of clean aprons, il the new
girl quits in the middle of housekeeping,
and though you search the earth with can
dies you find none other to take her place;
If the neighbor in whom you have trusted
goes back on you and keeps chickens, if the
chariot wheels of the unlimited guest draw
near when you are out of provender and
the gaping of your empty purse is like the
untitled mouth of young robin, take
courage if you have enough sunshine in
your heart to keep laugh on your lips

How an Englishman Lives.

Without being luxurious, the whole
globe has played him serving man to
spread his table. Russia gave the hemp
or India or South Carolina the cotton,
for that cloth which his wife lays upon
1t. The eastern islands placed there
those condiments and spices which were
once the secret relishes of the wealthy.
Australian downs send him frozen NUT
ton or canned beef, ele prairies of
America meal for his biscuit and pud-
ding, and if he will eat fruit the or
chards of Tasmania and the palm
woods of the West Indies proffer de-
licious gifts, while the orange groves of
Florida and of the Hesperides cheaper
for his use those golden apples" which
dragons used to guard.
His coffee comes from where jew
eled humming birds hang in the bow
ers of Brazil, or purple butterflies fiut-
ter amid the Javan mangroves. Great
clipper ships, racing by night and day
under clouds of canvas, convey to him
the tea from China or Assam, or from
the green Singhalese hills. The sugar
which sweetens it was crushed from
canes that waved by the Nile or the
Orinoco, and the plating of the spoon
with which he stirs it was dug for
him from Mexican or Nevadan mines.
The currants in his dumping are a
tribute from classic Greece, and his
timed salmon or kippered herring a to-
ken from the seas and rivers of Canada
or Norway. He may partake, if he
WILL of rice that ripened under the hot
skies of Patna or Rangoon, of cocoa,
that food of the gods, plucked under
the burning blue of the equator. For
his rasher of bacon the hog express runs
daily with 10, 900 granting victims into
Chicago. Dutch or Brittany hens have
laid him eggs, and Danish cows grazed
the daisies of Elsinore to produce his
cheese and butter.
If he drinks beer, it is odds that Bel
GUM and Bavaria have contributed to
it the barley and the hops, and when he
has finished eating it will be the Mis-
sissippi flats or the gardens of the An

comforting tobacco.-Sir Edtoin ar

he knows how, he will do it so skillfully
that after it has been roasted it will reach
the table as round as crown, with the
clean chop ends sticking up and out in an
artistically curvng fashion, the whole sim

into the center of the crown, and these, fall

suitable garnish and excellent eating. -Her

And why Radcliffe college?
In the good old days, when the seven
teenth century was young, Lord Moulton,
one of England noblemen, wooed and won
the fair Anne Radcliffe.
Whether my lord had money himself, or
whether his bride brought him wealth, we
cannot say. But at any rate Lady Moul-
ton, nee Radcliffe, had money. And she
gave Harvard 100 big, shining English
pounds in 1913, thereby establishing a
precedent for other women and laying the
foundation for the fame she will now enjoy.
She was the first woman to give anything
to Harvard and one of the first to give to
any educational purpose.
That's why it's Radcliffe college.-Bos-
