The great secret of boredom is to be
found in two leading qualifications. A
bore must be unable to find amusement
in himself. and he must also be unable
to find amusement in any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
on his own mind nor on the minds of
nis friends, but simply on the gratifica-
ton which it is to him to give special
direction, or at least to suppose that he
gives special direction-for he is a
creature of the most unlimited credul-
ity in the art Of magnifying his own in
fiuence-to the minds of his friends.
He is in despair unless he can imagine
himself person of influence, and I'M
luckily he can never imagine himself a
person Of inhuence-for he is man of
very limited imaginative power-unless
he is taking overt steps to convince
somebody of something, whether it be
of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
of his own Importance, or even of the
Importance Of his patrons, like Mr.. Col

large weaving factory of 10000 spindles

How to Keep Cut Flowers.

The best way to keep cut flowers is
not in tall glasses of water, but in low,
shallow, broad dishes. If vessel about
the size and shape of soup plate is
filled with clean, fresh green moss from
the woods, made up in slightly mound
ed form in the center, flowers and or
namental sprays of leaves can be insert
ed in free, natural manner, instead OF
having that excessively formal appear
ance they usually have when closely
packed in small cups or vases or when
made into bouquets. They also keep
fresh for longer period, owing to the
much larger surface exposed immedi-
ately under them, the moist moss fur
nishing source OF vapor which tends
to preserve the blossoms. The moss
should be well sprinkled with water at
each renewal of the flowers.

How summer Lightning Is Caused.

Summer lightning is the effect Of
electrical action. Heat lightning" is
the name by which it is more generally
known, as it is unaccompanied by thun-
der and free from danger. At the mo-
ment of sunset the vapors, which are
condensed by cooling near the ground,
form conducting stratum, which serves
to re-establish by degrees the electrical
equilibrium between the atmosphere
and the earth, which are charged with
opposite electricities.

Avn .unprotectedr industry.

As the people employed in this coun-
try at the various branches of the build
ing trade are assured that, as there is no
duty on finished houses any more than
there is duty on paved streets, their in
dustry is one that the free traders claim
to be unprotected, and neither their
wages nor employment are influenced
by our protective tariffs, it may be of
interest to them, now that their employ
ment in building new factories has
ceased under the threat of free trade, to
quote from summary of the general re-
port on the census of England and
Wales made by The Engineer Of Lon
don. This paper says of the building
trades:
"The number of persons thus employ
ed shows an increase for the 10 years of
only 81 per cent, whereas in the pre-
vious decade the rise was 81 per cent.
The absolute number in 1891 was $780,
1856. The extremely small increase of a
little over $4,000 in the building trades
was accompanied by an actual decline in
respect to the industries which supply
the building materials. The falling off
was only 1.5 per cent, but that there
should be any decrease at all is q matter
to be regretted, an increase being the
proper result"
There is probably no trade in this
country, unless we call farming trade,
that receives greater benefits from the
building of new factories, factory towns
and the various operations connected
with the inauguration and maintenance
Of the industries developed in this coun-
try by protection than the building
