 It was impossible to get out of the chair sidewise, for the arms restrained me. There was only one way out and that was straight up. l therefore seized the arms of the chair and en- deavored to raise myself far enough to slide out feet foremost. Meanwhile vainly besought Maude to do some- thing. She was doing her best all the time, but the machinery would not work as it had done in the chair mans shop. By great exertion I had suc- ceeded in getting my feet well started in the direction of freedom, when both arms of the chair collapsed inward. That was one of the strong points of the chair, A child could learn to fold it up at the first attempt Just as the arms fell under me Maude succeeded in working the patent adjustable spring. Both ends of the chair instantly sank to the floor, leaving me supported only by it's iron arms which were just under the small of my back. l was able to decide almost immediately that this was one of the chairs combinations for which l should have very little use in the future. However, it had one ad- vantage it permitted me to roll off on to the floor.

 ! chair. When am tired of sitting in other chairs can get instant relief in this one, for the muscles employed are totally different. This is less like sit ting down than anything else I ever experienced. There will be no need now for me to join the New York ath- letic club. I can get all the exercise I need, simply by sitting down in that chair. I feel better already Haven't felt like this since I played football. Have we any arnica in the house?",
 Maude found little arnica, only 1t turned out to be ammonia in the arnica bottle, but that didn't matter, for the skin was all taken off in the place where put it, so there was practically nothing for the ammonia to do. It just simply eat its way through to the other side of me, but that is such very little distance that it isn't worth mentioning. If any resentful feelings were thus engendered in my bosom, they were all directed against the chair. l resolved to conquer, subdue and sit upon it.
 My first attempt was directed against the ingenious machinery by which the chair is adjusted. This is operated by a spring at one side. In concentrating my mind upon this spring I speedily discovered that it could be operated by means of one finger, and then with any other finger, but never with the same finger twice, because the iron frame of the chair shut down like a,pair of scis- sors, and shipped off anything that happened to be in it's way.

To Cook Chickens.

A hint to housekeepers when chickens are to be cooked: Do not put them before the fire without first removing the ten dons of the legs, or drumsticks. To do this, cut the skin at the joint where the feet unite with the drumstick and twist tho two pieces little to bring out the white tendons There are few in front and a large bunch at the back of the legs inclosed in a thin layer of musclelike membrane that makes them look like one large mus ole. Scrape off tho thick layer and divide the tendon into its smaller parts, and they may be drawn out, one by one, by passing a skewer under them and pulling vigor ously The despised drumstick is now a dainty piece of dark but tender meat, which may even be breaded and cooked by itself as a specially choice dish in various ways. Even where it Is served with other cuts, fricassee, stew, roast or broil, the sinews should always be removed.-Phila- delphia Press

Queer Facts About Heat and Light.

The rays of heat and light are quite in dependent of each other in their ability to penetrate different substances. For illus tration, glass allows the sun heat to pass through as readily as it does tho rays of light, and that without heating the glass too If the glass bo coated with lamp black, however, the rays of light are ar- rested, but the heat passes through as be- fore, not a single degree s difference in the latter phenomenon being noticeable. Then, again, both heat and light pass through water, providing it is clear. Ono of the oddities in this connection is this: Although the heat and light pass through water in it's normal state, the addition of a little powdered alum, which readily dissolves without leaving the least murkinoss, will arrest tho rays of heat to such an extent as to almost immediately raise the tenn perature of the water to a perceptible de- gree, yet the light continues to pass through as before.
 Ice, like glass, also transmits both heat and light. Dr. Sutherland, in 'Observa- tions Upon the Icebergs of Baflin's Bay" says: Several pieces of granite wero found deeply imbedded in ice without any com munications with outside air. These were all surrounded with what might be termed an atmosphere of water.' The explana- tion of such an oddity is this: The heat passing through tho ice had been absorbed by the stones until their temperature had been raised to degreo sufficient to melt the ice around them.-St. Louis Republic.

Loye Will Find a Way.

A friend of mine out in Omaha has a daughter. and that daughter has among other girlish trinkcts a sweetheart who is rendered doubly dear to her by the fact that her parents have forbidden her to see him. He is, to be sure, very common place person, but no girl can resist a man her parents have forbidden her to see, you know. This particular girl is in Wash ington now, for safe keeping, in a private school, where incoming and outgoing let ters are read by stern faced teacher. went to see her the other day just after the mail was in. Sho/ had received letter from a schoolgirl friend in Omaha, and there wasn't noun or pronoun of the masculine gender in the whole of it.

Tired Eyes.

In these days of study and sedentary work, requiring much use of the eyes, they often become 90 tired that they refuse to do their work good. This is particularly true when the work is done in a poor light or when it is fine work. Few eyes will bear any such treatment for any great length of time without being spoiled.
 The question is often asked, What can be done in such cases? There is one rem edy for tired eyes that has great value. It consists in massage with the hand wet it, cold or cool water. Fill basin with in and standing over 1t wet the hand with as much water as it will hold and apply it to the eyes, at the same time with the thumb and the forefnger giving the eyes gentle manipulation. Continue the process for four or five minutes several times day. The results are often little short of mar vicious. New York Dispatch.

HALF TONE ENeRAWNes.
How the Illustrations of the Magazines
 and Pa; 5rs Are Made.


 and Pa; 1rs Are Made.
 Pictures for the illustration of maga. zines and some newspapers are now made direct from photographs. A glass screen with diamond scratched lines ruled at right angles SO closely together that the spaces can hardly be distinguished is placed one-elgbth of an inch in front of the sensitive plate in the photographic camera. Looked through. the effect is much the same as gazing through sieve. These lines reappear in the half tone en- craving when printed.
 The photograph CT wash drawing from which the photo-engraving Is taken Is photographed in the usual way and with tho usual sensitive plate, with the pre-. yiously described screen in the camera be- tween tho plate and the picture. This produces negative of the picture, show ing the fine cross lines represented by clear glass. Now, in order tc have the same position of the object ot the engraving as iE the original, the film of the negative Is treated tc one or two coats Of colodion, which gives 1t a su fficient consistency to permit of its being removed This film IS transposed to the opposite side of another glass. After careful mounting this new negative IS ready 10 De used ns medium for printing on the zinc plate.
 The face of the plate Is huffed to the highest degree of polish then coated with solution of albumen and gelatin, then senstized with bichromate of ammonia. It Is then dried and placed in the printing frame, the coated side next to the nega. tive film. The case Is then exposed to the sun or light three to five minutes or to an electric light for l5 to 20 minutes. The light passes through the heavy inch thick glass of the printing frame, then through the negative, striking tho sensitized plate and decomposing the chemicals wherever it may fall. Whero the plate is protected by the shadows and half tones of the mega. tive the sunlight has less effect, and where the shadows are dense it has no effect
 This plate is then removed from the frame in dark room and carefully wash ed under running water for several min utes, then dried and heated until the pic. ture appears of dark brown color. The back of the plate is rubbed with wax while hot to protect it from the etching solution, which is made from perchloride of iron. The picture on the plato is acid proof and the etching solution eats only where tho plate is unprotected, that part which is blank in the finished engraving Tho plate is allowed to remain in the acid bath for about 15 minutes, or until sufficient depth is obtained It is then washed and is ready for the routor and the printer New York Recorder.

Many StorieE Told of Him In RegioDs
 Where He Prevailed.
 In the days when teachers were few and far between an old fashioned Irish school. master went the rounds from district to district. Of him many stories are still told in the regions through which he tray eled. He did an excellent work on the whole and trained in tho three R's' many men who afterward became prominent in public life, but this broad Irish accent was the occasion of many laughable scenes between him and his pupils.
 On one occasion the master examined his school from the spelling book before the committeeman. He always called the boys by their last names, pronouncing their Christian names last, as in a roll call
 Brown, Payterl" the master shouted.
 Peter Brown stepped forth tremblingly. 'Phat is the pleyrul of the wurrud 'fut2'" "
 Peter had no knowledge of any such word as ''fut," but he answered at random; "Futsr' Wrong ye aire'' thundered the mas ter. "The plyural of 'fut' is fate.' Sit down. Bill, Jeems, shtand opp!"
 James Bell rose.
 "Diffoine the wurrud lake,"
 "A lake is n large body of water"
 "Blockheads yo all afro tho dayl'' shout ed the master angrily. "Shure, then, wud- dent yer own sinse till ye that lake is hole in booklet O wather? Mkt by Dooly, Moichaell'
 Michael Dooley stepped up with oonfi- dent and somewhat roguish gleam in his gray eyes. He was the son of recent set tier of tho schoolmaster's nationality.
 The master quickly perceived tho know ing lcok in the boys eye.
 An whoy do ye lux at inc wud the car ner O yer oi, Dooly, MoichaelP" he ex- claimed. ''Is it that ye think I'd be put tin ye wurrud in the Oirish languages It's brogue ye suspect me af, is it!"
 Michaels freckled features betrayed a grin, though he tried to suppress it by keeping his lips shut together very tightly indeed.
 "Faix, ye shall have ut!'' said the schoolmaster. Spill and defoine me bhfeiteamhnuibh." :"
 This real word from the Irish language, which means ''trangressions, wds too much even for the special knowledge of the bright Irish American boy, and "Doo- ly, Moichaer' went down with the rest.
 Tho committeeman were convinced that they had schoolmastcr of wonderful erudition and capacity. Scottish Ameri-

Courtship and Marriage.

Marriage has been truly compared to tho unnasking hour of masquerade ball. My markets made" is the usual decision, and consequently both allow the masks to slip from thoir faces and discover that they courtod Q myth and married reality. The wife frcts over hard work,' if in humble life; worries over servants and the demands of society, if in more af- fluent circumstances. The husband finds hiss jolly companions at tho club far moro agreeable than the wife ho married (not the sweet little creature that was courted by the model young man), and thus the chasm of indifference is widening between them daily, and homo has no charm for either unwilling captive. Let each remem- Der that courtship is only mask at best, and by striving to penetrate its disguise be better prepared to meet the revelations which must be brought to light when the masks arc finally removed, and after it is too late to retrace their steps. Have nc secrets from each other with which tt weigh down your after life. Be frank ant honest, tell each other of tho faults whicl will be revealed in time anyway and striv to overcome them by each assisting th other. Should these faults break the en gagement 1t is far better so than lot then break the heart after marriage. go.-Philadei phia Ledger.
