Stove Colors.

In view Of the fact, says an Austria
Hungarian Journal, that black iron
stoves do not in all cases suit room
which is painted in light colors, aud of
the attempts made unsuccessfully to
use upon them water glass paint, Herr
Kratzer, a Leipsic chemist, has been
experimenting in this direction with
very satisfactory results. The colors, he
finds, may be blue white, borium sui
phate. zinc white, borium ohromate,
yellow ocher, uranium oxide, green
chromium oxide, cobalt green, green
ultramarine, ultramarine blue, cadmium
oxide for yellow brown. English red or
oaput mortuum for brown, brown oxide
of manganese, burned terra di siena,
red iron colors, chrome red. These are
to be mixed with warm soft water, dis
titled or rain, and diluted 33 degrees
or sulphur free water glass Thus one
part of water glass may be mixed with
two Of warm soft water, and one part
of bronze powder be worked up with 90,
by weight, of the diluted water glass.
1t may be necessary to give the color
thorough preliminary wetting with very
soft water, particularly if the color be
an earthly one, and the better this is
done the better will the color mix with
the water glass, but no more color
should be mixed than can be used with
in two to four hours. The iron should
be perfectly free from grease and rust,
and should be treated with scratch

Tho Lady and the oyelist.

A lady protected herself against the
rushing advance of a cyclist in Bromp-
ton road, London, in original and COM
mendable fashion. The Telegraph of
that city describes how the cyclist was
racing along at his best pace and the
lady was crossing the roadway. Instead
of making detour to avoid her, the
man simply rang his bell and rushed on
without abatement of speed, considering
that he had thus done his duty to soci-
ETY.. Pedestrians ON the footpaths and
busmen on their perches saw that a
collision was inevitable. So did the
lady, who braced herself for the ordeal
and resolved ON offensive tactics Civ
ing her body-not by any means that of
a pygmy-a rapid swing, she brought
the strongest and most padded part of
her figure into contact with the front
wheel of the machine and the bicyclist
himself and sent them both sprawling
into the roadway. Then, giving her
skirts another swing, just to prove that
they had suffered no damage, she fin
ished her journey across the road and
turned round and laughed with others
at the unhappy oyclist as he picked up
himself and the disjeota membra OF his
once perfect machine. He made his way
to the curbstone, where he sat down to
contemplate the damage, and finally he
put the thing on his shoulder and car
ried IL away.

He PROVED The OMEN.

A Sailors SuperstItious Prediction of Dis
aster Followed by His Own Death.
Speaking Of sailors superstitions,"
remarked the veteran lighthouse keeper
Josh Reeves of Sea Isle City, reminds
me of an incident that happened half a
century ago Off the Five Fathom Bank
lightship, in which sailors prediction,
based on an omen, resulted fatally to
the prophet himself.
"a bright winter morning had caused
the crew Of the lightship to row a short
distance away in small boat in search
Of Goldfish, which are very abundant off
the capes in winter time. A few hours
fishing resulted in goodly catch and a
return was made to the ightship. The
fish were cleaned and the refuse thrown
overheard, but calm sea, with not a
breath Of air to disturb it, caused the
refuse to drift in a circle around the
ship. Toward noon large flock Of geese
came in sight and settled under the
lightship's very bows and commenced
to feed. The waterfowl became very
tame and swan chattering and kissing
close to the ships Sides
"Josh Crowell, grizzled old men,
Der of the crew, shook his head and pre-
dicted death to some one on board with
in "a hours. He said that whenever
geese became so tame as to feed around
q vessels bow or stern, it was an I'M
failing omen of impending death ON
board. Crowell's companions laughed
at his fear, but he told them to bide
their time
Toward noon "a strong gale came out
Of the nor east and kicked up heavy
sea. Crowell was ON the forward or bow
watch.
MANY of the crew were in the main
cabin below enjoying social game Of
euchre, checkers or dominos, when
suddenly they heard the sound Of chair
running rapidly through the starboard
bow scuppers. We rushed on deck IL
dismay, thinking the windlass gearing
had given way. The sight witnessed
will never be forgotten. Crowell had
been caught in the relief chain and
ground around the rapidly revolving
windlass His death was instant. His
omen came true. New York Herald.

Aluminium Bronze.

A rule or two is given in The Alumni
ium World in regard to obtaining the
best castings with aluminium bronze,
In order to avoid the difficulties which
are 80 frequently met with in melting.
An essential point mentioned is the spe-
cial care to be taken not to overhead the
metal, the fact being that, II it be heat
cd to too high temperature, the alu-
minimum will oxidize. the oxide which
is thus formed making the entire casting
what artisans term dirty" and the
metal will also be spongy from the pres
ence Of large amounts of occluded gases.
The scum, too, which floats on top Of
the melted bronze in the crucible must
be prevented from going into the body
Of the casting, this being practicable by
providing the casting with suitable skim
gates The greatest trouble in making
bronze castings, however, arises from
the shrinkage of the metal, which is
very great-a difficulty which is over
come if the casting have large sinking
head and "risers," it being necessary,
however, in many cases to make the
sinking head fully as large as the cast
ing.

Wrong Altogether.

The vicar of a parish not many miles
from a we'll known fashionable town
was recently preaching o charity sermon,
and in the course Of his remarks he re-
buked some of his parishioners who he
thought simulated distress for the sake
Of obtaining assistance they did not real
ly require.
As an illustration of this weakness he
mentioned that during one of his pas
toral visits he entered cottage Of one
Of the supposed delinquents, where he
found everything neat and clean. and,
what was more, large plateful of but
tered toast before the fire.
Eyes" he repeated emphatially,
"bnttered toast Did that" he asked,
"look like want?"
In the brief pause that followed this
optburst of energy voice Indignantly
responded, "No, 'tweern't butter nei-
ther; 'twere drippin.
The effect of this correction upon pas
tor and flock was simply Undesirable.

Rainbovs That Can Chauge Sex.

In many parts Of the world it is the
general belief that the rainbow has the
power to change sex. This queer belief
obtains in such widely separated dis
tricts as South Africa and Norway and
China and Australia. The Zulus have a
long folklore story of the young man
who was changed into wrinkled old
woman by touching the many hued arch.
The Scandinavian peasants have sim
liar story, and in Greece they say that
anybody who runs against the end Of
the rainbow will have his or her sex in
stantly changed. In France and India

Vast Tracts OF Northwestern Territory
Still Awaiting the Discoverer.
OF Ontario's area. estimated at 200,-
900 square miles, 100, 600 square miles
are in an unknown region, only the
edges of which have been explored. This
is the territory known as the Hinterland
of Ontario. 1t lies between Lakes Huron
and Superior to the south and the Albany
river and James bay to the north. In
this vast area is the Height of Land,
which separates waters flowing to Hud
son bay from the streams emptying into
the st. Lawrence and the lakes. North
of the Height is what is called the Hud-
son bay slope, consisting of about 80, 900
square miles. This slope may be describ
ed as unknown land.

hills, but is level plateau some 1900

475 miles long and navigable during the

the short slope south of the Height Of
Land, in which are situated the settle
ments of North Bay, Sturgeon Falls and
Sudberry, there is definite and general
knowledge, but the whole territory slop-
ing north remains UNEMPLOYED.
The Hinterland is Ontario's reserve.
Much valuable timber in this region is
destroyed by fires that sweep south Of
the watershed. Pine, spruce tamarack,
poplar and cedar are varieties Of wood
existing in abundance south of the Hud-
son bay slope. Here, too, are valuable
minerals, but the treasures hidden in
the region north of the plateau and the
resources of the high plane itself await
the searching of some intrepid explorer.
Meanwhile no adventurous spirit need
| resign itself to obscure inactivity nor
ambitious traveller sigh because there are
not new countries to traverse. The Hin
terland will reward the eager discoverer,
and when he has exhausted that territory

DO Texas roxes climb rroesq

A correspondent of u sportsman's pa
per declared recently, There is little
sport to be had in hunting foxes in Tex
as, because they climb trees in 10 or 20
minutes after the dogs start them. The
foxes in England are often driven to the
trees by the eager dogs, but they do not
climb in the sense that squirrel or bear
does. They jump to the lower branches
Of the trees and by their aid work them
selves up to the top branches. A fox can
get into tree that is no higher than 8
feet to the lower branches, and it is
probably by jumping that the Texas fox
getg into the trees.

To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Shows y
Patients Condition.
The face is good index to the state
of ones physical being, and from il
symptoms Of disease can be detected al
most before the patient is aware that
anything serious is the matter with him.
For instance, incomplete closure of the
eyelids, rendering the whites of the eyes
visible during sleep, is a symptom in
all acute and chronic diseases of se-
we're type. 1t is also to be observed
when rest is unsound from pain wher-
ever seated.
Twitching of the eyelids. associated
with the oscillation Of the eyelids, or
squirting, heralds the visit of convul-
sions.
Widening of the orifices of the nose,
with movements Of the nostrils to and
fro, point to embarrassed breathing from
disease of the lungs Or their plural in
vestment.
Contraction Of the brows indicates
pain in the head. Sharpness Of the nos
trils, pain in the chest and drawn up
per lip, pain in the abdomen.
To make general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third of the face is
altered in expression in affections Of the
brain, the middle third in the diseases

inal cavity. Trained Nurse.

WHAT A BULLDOG DID.
Bear Was Small Game For This PartIc-
ular Canine.


ular Canine.
There we're five officers from Fort
Reno and four from Fort Kearney, and
seven or eight citizens from the east who
had come out for hunt, and we had
pitched our camp ON the eastern base of
the Big Horn noun u ms, at the head
waters of Clear Fork river. One of the
civilians, who hailed from Boston, had
brought along his bulldog, and though
he was guyed and ridiculed a hundred
times over he insisted that the dog
should be taken along ON the hunt.
"You just waltz he replied to all sar-
castle remarks II want to see him
tackle bear, and if he gets chance to
it's dollars to cents that he comes out
ahead"
One day six of us went off up the
mountain, and the owner of the bulldog
was one of the party. His dog was at
his heels, as a matter of course, but as
we were out for the climb moro than in
expectation of sighting game no one OBJ
jected. We had reached point thou
sand feet above camp and directly over
it when big cinnamon bear which had
been snoozing alongside of rock start
ed up with "woofl' Before any one
had scarcely got sight of him or realized
what sort of game it was the bulldog
rushed forward and tackled him, getting
tail hold.
"Stu-boyl Hang to himl Now's
your show'' yelled the man from Bos-
ton, and the bulldog got death grip.
Old cinnamon hadn' his nerve with him
that day, and the first move he made
was down hill. At his first plunge he
started good sized bowlder from its
bed, and 100 feet down he dislodged a
great mass of earth. That was the start
of an avalanche. Earth, rocks, trees and
powders began to move, and strip 800
feet wide went booming down into the
valley. The men in camp heard and saw
it in time to escape. but it swept away
every tent we had and filled the bed Of
the creek 80 feet deep with debris.
mot an ounce of provisions, a cook
ing utensil nor blanket was saved.
Where our camp had stood was mass
of earth and rock 10 feet deep. We got
down as soon as possible, and men were
sent off to Reno to bring back new
outfit. No one ever expected to see that
bulldog again, of course, but three hours
later he walked in among us as il moth
ing had happened and hadn't so much
as a scratch ON him. We looked and
looked, but no one spoke for two or
three minutes. Then the man from Bos-
ton suddenly remarked:
