Removing Put,y.

Removing putty from old sashes is
is not SO easy job as would ut first
sight appear, 1t is almost impossible
to cut the putty out with the usual
hacking knife aud hammer without
damaging the woodwork. To avoid
these Inconvenience, and the danger
OF accidents TO clothing and hands
when strong acids are used. a good
plan is to employ petroleum, at inter-
walls OF half an hour, generally being
all that is required. II may be stated
as reason for this that petroleum
penetrates into the pores of the putty.
and dissolves the hardened linseed oil.
In short time the putty regains its
original Elasticity, so that in two or
three hours after the application of
the first coat, one can, with the point
OF knife, cut out the putty with
ease. Engineering Magazine.

MUSIC IN GERMANY.
II Is Part Of tho Life of the Whole 70,

~ Is u Ehrt OF the Life OF the Whole PGO-
With regard to patriotism, It may
be averred, that amid the darkest
hours of national disaster. from the
time of the thirty years. war. down to
our own time, the German Lied has
kept the fame OF patriotism burning
In the war of liberation of 1919, song
did almost as much as the sword
And in 1870 the famous song Of "The
Watch on the Rhine" played n part
which 1t would be impossible to under
stand without knowing something
Of German life and character.
The German soldier Is incomplete
without those beautiful songs which
stir his patriotism, as they also recall
the romance attached TO this life in
days gone by.
Singing is universally cultivated in
the German army. German soldiers
sing while on the march and of an
evening in their bivuuaca song is often
the necessary accompaniment TO the
pipe, when the days work Is done. 1t
is strikingly illustrative Of the poetical
sentiment of the German race, that
the most beautiful of these old sol
dier's songs deal with pathetic Incl
dents in a soldiers life and hardly
ever. touch the vainglorious or bonn
bastic note.
But 1t Is in the domain of lyric and
love, that the German Lied has per.
haps reached Its highest development.
Also in no country have the lyrics OF
the greatest poets so greedily been sci
to music by great composers as In
Germany. A man may be ever SO
coarse, but he can hardly remain in
contact with the spirit Of the German
Lied from the cradle to middle age,
without rubbing off some of that un.
couthness of feeling and behavior
which we only too often meet with III
some countries in which the pathos
ana sentiment OF a true German vollss.
lied are materia incognita. Sidney

THESE GOLDEN NlNETlEs.
The Worlds Output of Gold Is Constantly
Increasing.


Increasing.
An uncxampled increase in the out
put OF gold is coming into notice, and
the plain facts may well command con.
sideration apart from the relations OF
these facts TO currency discussions.
The California and Australian discoy-
cries of gold Qs4s-5ol were followed by
remarkable Development OF pros
perity all over the world. If like
causes produce like events, the world
may anticipate prosperity for the years
just before us. For it is not only true
that the worlds output of gold in 1899
exceeded that of any preceding year
and that OF 1891 was still greater-but
there was never before a tenth as much
gold in sight and not yet mined. Flu.
ture output has always hitherto been
uncertain, more uncertain than any
other kind of production, There is now
also large margin of uncertainty; but
there is also good basis of certainty
that the supply of gold will increase
year by year for several wears
to come; and this basis for GER
tainty lisa minimum estimate of output
The expectation that this decade will
add $1,000, 900, 900 of gold to the worlds
supply is avery reasonable one What
this means may be seen Mt glance,
The production of gold for 1893
amounted to more than Si5s, 800, 900.
Official figures for 1891 are not made
up, but probably the total output
climbed up to $3.50, 900, 900. gain OF
16 per cent over 1898, and OF more than
100 per cent. over 1887 The simple
fact that in the year 1894 we were pro-
ducing twice as much gold as in 1887;
the simple fact that this product of
the gold mining of the world last year
was greater than the total of both
gold and silver mined in the best year
OF the fifties-our famous gold decade
such facts are our data for an esti,
mate. The causes which have pro.
duced large crops of gold since the dec.
ade began are in operation and no one
can reasonably expecta decline In their
vigor. = d, ii, Wheeler, LID, in
