A housemaid with a buster is ever
lastingly setting askew small pictures,
and the average room after busting
looks sadly awry. All sorts of picture
hooks have been invented which are
supposed to so grip the picture cord that
it will always hold the picture evenly
ON the wall. Then, again, corner clamps
have been brought out, one for each cor.
ner of the picture, the clamps being
driven into the wall, but everything Of
that sort has some objection. The sim
plest and most infallible way of holding
a picture immovable is by making a
small gimlet hole in the extreme lower
point of the inside of the frame, wbe1e
it touches the wall, and at this point
drive a small brad into the wall, leav-
ing about half an inch protruding. The
hole in the frame caps this brad like a
socket, and the ordinary busting of the
picture does not move it in the least.

How to Reduce a Double Chin.

A double chin can be banished by
correct breathing. The woman with a
short neck must hold her head high,
even stretching her neck until conscious
of the tension of the cords. She should
also practice dropping her head and let
ting it roll listlessly about. This will
give a graceful poise to the head, and
the exercise of the muscles will help
consume the extra amount of fat. Lung
exercises in breathing are the best cure
for excessive stoutness The best time
for this is before dressing in the morn
ing and after undressing at night. Five
or ten minutes exercise every day will
reduce the flesh in wonderfully short
time. Stand erect with the head and
chin well up, and rise upon the toes at
each inspiration, holding the breath
moment, then expelling it forcibly and
completely. coming down on the heels
at the same time. Another good breath
ing exercise is to draw in a full, deep
breath. Retain the breath while count
ing 10 and then slowly expel it.

How Tigers Are Sometimes Caught.

The natives of Singapore have novel
method of catching tigers which is
found to be very effective. When they
come across a tt all, they gather together
large quantity Of dry leaves and mix
them up in a kind of bird lime made
by boiling holly bark and then mixing
the juice with nut oil.
They scatter these leaves on the trail
and await their prey. Presently tiger
comes along and leaf sticks to him.
He raises his paw and tries to get it Off.
This he does several times, until the paw
is covered with leaves. Then he rolls
over, and his fate is sealed. In a mo-
ment he is smothered in twigs and
leaves until ne resembles huge, shak-
ing ball, from which issue terrific roars.
He struggles for a long while, when
he becomes exhausted. Then the natives
come forward and either dispatch him
OR put him in wicker basket and carry
him off.

Never poultice an eye under any cir
cumstances whatever. Binding wet
application over an eye for several hours
must damage the eye, the assertions of
those protesting to have personal ex-
perience in this to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The failure to aggravate an existing
trouble by binding moist application
over an inflamed eye, which application
is supposed to remain for an entire
night, can only be explained by the sup
position that a guardian angel has
watched over that misguided case and
has displaced the poultice before it had
got in it's fine work. All oculists con-
denim the poultice absolutely, in every
shape and in every form. Tea leaves,
bread and milk, raw oysters, scraped
beef, scraped raw turnip Or raw potato
and the medley of disgusting domestic
remedies popularity recommended are,
enc and all, capable of producing ire
mediable damage to the integrity of the
tissues of the visual organ.

HOW sHRlNkAeE is PRODUCED.
Wool Fiber Dissolved by Hot Water and
Acid.

Wool Fiber Dissolved by Hot Water and
Acid.
The explanation commonly given or
this, which is as follows, is quite mad
equate: Wool has surface covered with
sawlike teeth, all pointing, in each
hair, in one direction. This is what
gives it the important quality of felt
ing. e., of being formed into COM
pact substance by interloeking Of thou
sands and thousands of the teeth. In
the best woods these teeth are numbered
by thousands to the inch IN each hair.
They cannot be seen except by the aid
of the microscope, but may be felt by
drawing lock of wool through the fin
gers from tip 10 root. The resistance is
then much greater than when the wool
is drawn from root to tip The shrink
ing of wool in washing is generally at
tributed to the interlocking of these
teeth. But shrinking is found to take
place when wool is wetted, even when
there is no pressure which would cause
the teeth to catch against each other.
ga wooden fabric exposed to warmth
and moisture shrinks in every direction
in a manner which interlocking does
not explain. y A better explanation is
suggested by the fact that the intro
duction of acid into the water in which
the fabric is dipped greatly quickens the
process and increases it's extent. !" This
fact aud the increase of shrinkage caused
by the addition of heat makes it appear
probable that the wool fiber is partially
dissolved, especially that part which
contains the original cells still retaining
their contents The walls of these cells
bursting through the heat, ETC., and
their contents being discharged, shrink
age naturally take place.

How to Polish Linen.

Melt together an ounce of white wax
and ounces of spermaceti with large
spoonful of salt. Dissolve these ingre-
dents over q slow fire and pour into a
wet cup to cool. Make boiled starch in
the usual way, cooking it slowly for &c
minutes, and for every tablespoonful OF
dry starch used add lump of the above
preparation about as large as cherry.
Use no cold starch and do not sprinkle.
When the starched pieces are dry, lay
them in wet towel for two hours and
bring up the gloss by rubbing evenly
with the heel of polishing iron. The
great secret in glazing starched goods is
to use the polishing iron properly.

How Rocking Puts a Child to Sleep.

Rocking, in common with other mo-
notonous movements, such as patting
and the movement Of walking, seems to
cause sleep by the same process as hyp-
notism. Mesmeric sleep is induced by
fixing the subjects attention on single
object, such as the "passes" of the
operator, some bright object held near
the eyes or distant light, and some
mesmerists produce sleep by stroking
the subjects face, the 'passes'' being
frequently repeated SO as to cause a
similarly monotonous effect, and it is
supposed that the concentration and
consequent exhaustion Of the mind is
the cause of the phenomenon. The sleep
induced by lullaby, the sound of 1un-
ming water and even the monotonous
tones of preacher is also probably Of
ten hypnotic in character. Only GER
tain so called neurotics are subject to
hypnotic influence, but the majority Of
young children may be included in this
class, and there are some children who
are not soothed to sleep by rocking.

Horu to snoceed In Politics.

Always remember that your present
opponent may some day be on your side.
Therefore do all your vituperating 'by
word of mouth and never on paper.
Before undertaking an argument always
make the strongest argument you pos
sibIy can on the other side-in your
mind-and be prepared to meet it. Re
member that the current of opinion is
nearly always determined by very few
men, possibly not more than dozen in
each precinct or township. Get them,
and you have got the community. But
il you are smart enough to pick the
right men you are too smart to need
this advice.

HOW TO BOIL WATER.
Too Little Care of the Fluid We Drink
Constantly.

Constantly.
The secret is putting good fresh water
into a neat kettle, already quite warm,
and setting the water to boil quickly
and then taking it off to use in tea,
coffee or other drinks before it is spoiled.
To let it steam, simmer and evaporate
until the good water is all in the at
mosphere and the lime and iron and
dregs left in the kettle is what makes a
good many people sick.
More frequently than otherwise the
breakfast kettle is set boiling with q
remnant of yesterdays supply in it and
the coffee urn has been neither washed.
dried, summed nor aired. Possibly in the
interest Of rigid and mistaken econ
omy some of yesterdays coffee is also
boiled over, and the partakers wonder
at their lassitude and dyspeptic condl-
tions. Whatever is neglected, the tea
kettle and its associate pots should be
thoroughly cleansed, dried and aired
every day, and in no case should water
that has stood over an hour In pitcher,
pail or kettle be used for cooking.
IF people will drink tea and coffee.
let them at least have it as nearly free
from poisonous conditions as possible.
That much benefit may be derived by
many people from drinking hot water is
not disputed, but the water should be
freshly drawn, quickly boiled in clean
and perfect vessel and Immediately used

How the rhimble Originated.

Holland claims to have invented the
thimble, though it is also claimed that
explorers in the ruins Of Herculaneum
have found many of these useful little
articles.
The AngIo-Saxons called it thymel,
or thumb stall, as it was first worn on
the thumb, as sailors now wear it when
making their sails, etc.
The manufacture of them was first
introduced into England from Holland
in 1895, and they were then made of
iron, horn and leather, but in the prog
ress of civilization and art the precious
metals were used, and now they are
often set with precious and semiprecious
stones, adding to their beauty, but not
to their usefulness.

How the Whale Breathes.

Close observers maintain that the
whale in breathing never spouts water
from the nostrils, as the ordinary pic
lures represent. When it rises to the
surface, foot or more of water over the
head is blown away by the breath escap-
ing from the lungs. This is followed by
the vast body Of air expelled, surcharged
with moisture hot from the lungs,
which, cooling, changes to vapor, and
it's circling descent resembles a shower
of spray.

HOW eyeglasses Are Made.

The pieces of glass which are to be
made into lenses for spectacles, for mi
croscopes, small telescopes and the like
are first ground into shape roughly by
being held against cast iron tool like
a grindstone. This, of course, is curved
to give the lens the concavity or con-
vexity desired. From this tool the glass
passes to a fine tool, SO called, of
similar construc ton, but made Of brass
and covered with fine powder Of sui
phate of iron, calcined and ground.
jewelers. call it rouge. Then third
tool, like the second, but covered with
cloth which is thoroughly powdered
with rouge. is used for polishing. After
both sides have been treated thus the
lens is cut to the required shape, oval
or round, with a diamond glass cutter
and steel pinchers, and the edges are
ground smooth on metal wheels.

How to Make an Excellent Polish.

For silver polish that may be kept on
hand for use mix few drops of am
monia with common whiting used fol-
the silver and add enough water to
make of the consistency of cream. Bot
tie this and keep it tightly corked.
Drop a little of this mixture on the pol
ishing cloth, rub the silver lightly and
rinse in warm water, and the silver Will
be instantly frightened and cleaned
without the hard rubbing necessary
when polishing with the dry whiting.
For removing paint and putty marks
from window glass this same mixture
of ammonia and whiting may be used
for stubborn cases or simply little am
monia in warm soapsuds. If whiting is
used, let it become nearly dry on the
glass before polishing.

HOW COLUMBUS REACHED LAND.
A Flight of Birds Changed the History of
America.

a Flight of Birds Changed the History OF
America.
When Columbus sailed westward over
the unknown Atlantic, he expected to
reach Zipangu (Japan). After several
days sail from Gomera, one OF the
Canary islands, he became uneasy at
not discovering Zipangu, which, accord
ing to his reckoning, should have been
216 nautical miles more to the east.
After long discussion he yielded to the
opinion of Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the
commander of the Pinta, and steered to
the southwest. Pinzon was guided in
his opinion by flight of parrots toward
the southwest. The effect of this change
ia his course curiously exemplifies the
influence Of small and apparently trivial
events IN the world s history. Ii Column
bus resisting the counsel of Pinzon, had
kept his original route he would have
entered the warm current OF the gulf
stream, have reached Florida and then
probably have been carried to Cape
Hatteras and Virginia. The result
would probably have been to give the
present United States a Roman Catholic
Spanish population instead OF Protes-
tant English one, circumstance OF
unreasonable Importance. Never,
wrote Humboldt, chad the flight OF
birds more important consequences. 1t
may be said to have determined the first
settlements On the new continent and
its distribution between the Latin and
Germanic races. "

How to Cure Insomnia.

The utility of heat as remedy for
sleeplessness can scarcely be overesti-
mated. particularly in the form of hot
water. Insomnia is frequently overcome
by the persistent use of hot footbaths
and simple hot water as a drink at bed
time. Sleeplessness is commonly caused
by overfulness of the blood vessels of
the head The bathing Of the feet draws
the blood from the head; the hot drink
distributes the gases of the stomach and
gives one a sense of general comfort
