Notes and beams


Friday-Babies who boss the house.
Saturday. Notes and beams.
Notes and beams.
TX Is the easiest thing In the world for
one 10 sse mote in his bother's eye
without considering the beam in his own.
Ihls applies also to sisters In the same
sense. The great trouble is with people
they too often fail to take into consider
alton that perfection is lacking In any
human being. One man or woman may
have certain qualities which you admire
and yet lack the very quality you admire
most. Some one else may come along
and look at your ideal lacking the one
quality and turn away in disgust.
A horse may be gentle and kind, fit for
child to drive, but il IT had courage
and fire in its makeup and lacked the
geptleness, SO to speak, the child could
not handle him. And SO il goes. What
one has another lacks, and it doesn't al
ways do to judge too harshly or look too
earnestly for the mote.when by a casual
glance you can find the beam.
1t Is so easy to criticse aud find fault.
Critics arc like weeds, in the garden:
thin them out as much as you will, you
will find them there the next time you
visit the garden. Bobby Burns had il
right about the "gift some power would
give us,to see ourselves as others see u.s."
but II seems to have been divinely or
dained that we should do nothing OF the
kind.
Speaking about seeing yourselves as
others see you, just visit the Crystal
Maze, 1l2 Westminster street, and you
will see yourselves from an exterior point
OF view many times over.
Men as well as women are prone to see
defects in those with whom they come
in contact, and not taking into consider
alton their good qualities, lose the BEN
eiit OF their acqusintanceship and asso-
citation. Life Is too short, however, to
draw the lines too taut, knowing as
we do, that what Is lacking in one quail
ty is usually made up in another.
The Misfit Clothing Parlors are at 1893
Westminster street. In the spacious store
are piles OF this seasons goods, purchased
especially for he trade, which has been
educated up to the fact that better goods
can be obtained at the Msfit Clothing
Parlors for less money, than any other
place in town charges for the same grade
and quality.
If everybody considered the beam in
his own eye before he discussed the
mote in his ighbor's eye, what a for
giving and charitable world would this
be. People would find less fault and
come nearer living the sort OF happy,
joyous, laughing life it was originally
intended they should live. There would
be less scolding and more merriment. less
jarring and more smoothness, and this
old world of ours would Jog along at a
more even and equitable pace.
II you contemplate buying a sewing
machine, purchase the best a Wheeler e
Wilson, of the resident manager at the
corner of Snow and Westminster streets.

OF Clemencc and Weybosset streets, has
leased the whole ground floor until 1902.

And overlook the beam,
But AZ near rs you can
BE just what you seem. OLD VET.

A woman's Thoughts.

The finest feelings are the most easily
ridiculed, and where mockery enters.
delicacy of feeling disappears.

short that to waste it is infamous.
An act of heroism that, after it has
taken place, has left the Judgment free.
is not the heroic act you dreamed it.
TO be supreme OF it's kind thing
must occupy the mind to the exclusion
OF every feeling that is not connected
with it. 81
How much moro easily we are Affect
ed by disagreeabie things than by
pleasant ones. A thousand persons
applaud; single one Kisses, and his
voice browns the voices of all the
Others. 1TB
They say one learns only the faults
OF those one copies.
Soul is as necessary in a painting as
body The true artist should conceive
as man OF genius, and execute as a
poet
Nothing can be learned but what
may be taught; the rest depends upon
one's self.

Seasoning That vultures Dislike.

| A physician who was in the Mexican
war is authority for very curious
statement The Mexicans devour
large amounts Of red pepper, eating it
at all times and places, as their breth-
rem In cooler climes enjoy sweetmeats.
He states that after battle the where
abouts Of dead American soldiers could
be detected by the vultures, which
would not touch the highly seasoned
bodies of the dead greasers. From
what the naturalists say about these
Charming birds one would not think
they were at all epicurian in taste, but
of course they must draw the line
somewhere, and perhaps it is on a
meal seasoned with pepper but lacking
salt, which has always been the SYM
boil Of hospitality.

USEFUL ELECTRIC LAUNCHES.
The Norwegians Have Utilized Them for
Harbor Passenger Service.

The Norwegians Have Utilized Them for
Harbor Passenger Service.
An employment has been made in
Norway of the electric launch that is
sure to be widely followed The city of
Bergen, which is the center of the Nor
wegian land and sea commerce, ranges
on two sides of a narrow harbor form
ing an inlet and surrounded by rapidly
rising ground. Rapid transit from one
side of the harbor to the other became
imperative and line of electric ferry
boats has been established. AS the
harbor is very narrow, only about $50
yards, it was found desirable to con-
struct the boats so that they could OPP
crate without turning about to go from
one station to the other. They were
consequently made double-ended, with
two screws, one at each end, both con-
nected directly to motor shaft. The
motor weighs $50 pounds and is of
three-horse power capacity. Thirty
two cells of storage battery weighing
$3.50 pounds are placed in each boat.
The speed of the boat is seven feet six
inches per second-quite enough for
threading safely the crowded shipping
of the harbor. Each boat covers thirty
seven miles daily, and the average
number of passengers carried since the
boats have been in service has been
1900. The cost of the fleet of eight
boats was $4,000, and of the charging
station $12,SOO.

| Water.
| DemlJohnS are mostly bottle-shaped
| and fask-shaped. The bottle-shaped
! demijohns come in seven sizes, rang
ing from one pint to five gallons. The
fask-shaped are made only in the
larger and smaller sizes, and pint,
| quart and five gallons are virtually it's
| standard sizes.
| A great many demijohns, both flask
and bottle-shaped, are used for the
distribution Of pure water, spring and
| sterilized. In this country more large
demijohns are used for water than
| for wines and liquors, and the num-
Der so used is steadily increasing.
Next in numbers to the large demi-
johns used for water are those used
for wines and liquors. Chemists and
druggists use many large demijohns,
grocers use them for vinegar and oils,
and many are used for the distribu-
ton of fruit extracts to bakers, con-
fectioners and dealers in soda water.
The smallest sized flask is used as
safety package, as a pocket flask for
liquor, and quite extensively for per-
fumery. When used for perfumery
and cologne the small TASKS are cover
ed with q finer class of reeds and will
lows Within a year some liquors
have been put on sale in pint and
quart-siZed bottle-shaped demijohns.
With the growing use of demijohns
for waters there has been growing
demand for covering through which
the water could be seen Various dem.
Johns of this kind have been made
In one the bottle is placed in a wood.
en- crate with a hinged cover; in an.
other the bottle is hoped with wood;
in a third it is held in frame OF
reeds.
Gradually the shipping demijohn has
been developed. The ordinary manner
of packing demjohns shipped in boxes
was to pack them in hay or straw
Demijohns are now packed in boxes
specially designed for the purpose
The demijohn is protected by spring
cushions of steel or rubber. There are
both flask and bottle-shaped shipping
demijohns, in various styles, and with
variety Of cushions and fastenings
There are thirty or more patents on
shipping demijohns.
The annual consumption of demi-
JolliS III Ills COuHlEy Is cSIluldCeQ at
100000. Much the greater number
of these are made in this country; the
imported ones come from Germany
The American demijohns are mostly
covered with rattan; the majority of
those that come from Germany are
covered with willow, which is cheaper
there.
DemijohnS are made in this country
in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-
mia and few in Maryland. Demijohn
coverers work in places where the
manufacture Of glass is carried on.
The materials used are prepared by
machinery, but the actual work of COW
ering the bottles is done by hand.
Some glass manufacturers have of late
taken up the making of demijohns on
their own account, at that season of
the year when the bottle manufacture
Stacks off.
In the East demijohns have largely
taken the place of jugs. In the far
West jugs are still used but de.a.-
Johns are gradually BUSTING thera -

Capped the Climax

An exchange tells that good story
was heard the other day of father and
mother who were trying to find names
for their twin babies, who by the way,
were girls. 1t was decided that the
father must name them. After casting
about and finding no names that ex-'
actly suited him he determined to end
the strain on his mind and named them
Kate and Duplicate. In the course of
time another pair of twins came and
they were boys. This was the nus:
bands opportunity to get even, and he
wanted his wife to chirsten the boys.
Imagine his feelings when the mother
one day told him she had named them
Pete and Repeat. But when the third
pair came the father grew frightened
and named them Max and Climax.
