/ woman's character

A woman's character has been
likened to postage stamp-one
black mark ruins it. Mans like a
treasury note-no matter how many
stains, it shall pass at par. When a
woman falls from grace her charac ter
is usually ruined forever. When on
the other hand, man may straighten
up and be received into the best of
society again. All OF which is too
true; but beng true don't make it
right.

AS the season for storing ice is at
hand, few remarks upon that sub
ject may not be amiss. 1t is a popu-
lar error that low temperature such as
is required to make good ice is sutfi-
cient to destroy all disease breeding
germs, and that the process Of freez-
ing, puri6es filthy water. Scientists
by careful observation and expert
ments have determined very accur-
ately the conditions of germ life.
A temperature of 100, is thorough
ly disinfectiag agent Tor most forms
of disease germs, but a temperature of
Is to 20 below zero only temporarily
suspends vitality. Consequently ice
that is stored for drinking purposes or
to go into any kind of cooling sum
mer beverages should be made from
pure water. That which is to be used
for cold storage purposes or making
ice cream need not be 20 clean.
The custom of storing ice from any
kind of pond is very dangerous one
Places frequented by skaters of all
classes of people, renders the ice thereof
filthy. Tobacco spit from diseased
mouths, expectorations from diseased
lungs and threats, become frozen into
the surface and remains there till the
following summer, for the use of ice
customers. In this way diseases too
filthy to mention, may be innocently
disseminated 1t certasnly is matter
that ought to command more atten-

THE MAN OF MODERATE MEANS.

Now at Last He Bccamo "a True Expert In
Patches ON Shoes.
"I thought was connoisseur in
patches" said the man of moderate
means, ''for l had four patches on each
shoe. l use to laugh as l looked at
them and fancy that might almost call
myself an expert. But, alas, rs l soon
discovered, was scarcely more than an
amateur.
I'm the course Of time new crack
developed in one of my shoes, in the up-
per, crosswise of the shoe and about
midway between the sole and the top or
highest point of the shoe. At the same
time patch along the welt or the same
side started loose, and l took the shoe
to the shoemaker. He had put other
patches on my shoes in the most perfect
manner, and he had always treated me
when / came for new patch with the
same politeness as though I had come
each time for pair of new shoes.
He looked the shoe over, and said he
would make one patch to cover both
places, the place along the welt and the
new crack in the top. This was obvious
y bht tiiihS W w. it WOuAG but
patch instesd of two, and so would look
better, and, with its greater area am
wider distribution of the wearing strain,
1t would last longer than two smaller
patches. So he put it ON that way; run
ming along the welt and then making a
turn and running up to cover the crack
in the top.
'As looked at the new L shaped
patch l realized how limited my pre-
vious knowledge of patches had been. l
had had many patches, but they had
been but commonplace, just plain, ordi-
nary patches, but rs looked at the new
patch-and looking down at my shoes
| saw in them (and in the near future,
if l would keep them in repair) the
prospective need of other patches, al

A LONG BURROW.
Tunnel OF Nearly Two Miles Excavated by
an Iudustrious Mole.


Down along the river bank after the
water had reccded into narrow chan
mel, through which it tumbled and ed
died and belched mp great rims. there
was left broad sand fiat. This sand
fiat fell off i'll broad steps, in which
here and there were left shallow pools.
Big, gnarly stumps of trees, probably
grown many miles up the river. had &C
casionally stranded, after floating down
on the rivers surface, and gathered
piles of driftwood about them. Barrels
and boxes of all sorts of strange plum
der were to be found, and it is not alto
gether unlikely that one, by looking
closely, might have found more than
one article of value.
The sand had dried down as hard and
firm as on any Atlantic beach. 1t was
springy, too, just the thing for brisk
walking. And walking on it was Joy.
There were neither jostling elbows nor
sweet smells nor sounds, just the gray
sky above. the damp wind and the yell
low river oozing along a stones throw
away.
Traversing this fat was a remarkable
little ridge or welt. IL started in the
sand where the last river bank had be-
gun Just before the river receded. Above
it the grasses hung over the five foot
bank, and towering aloft was large
cottonwood tree. The welt ran straight
out toward the river 1000 yards "
more then turned west and wound in a
waving line up stream. For nearly two
miles IL could be followed, weaving
here ana there, never disappearing be-
low the surface and never changing in
appearance, until IL suddenly lost itself

it had run. 1t was the burrow of a
mole. And who knows but the little

ature calcium carbide is formed. 1t is
composed of five.eighths calcium and
three eighths carbon.
Science News illustrates the lamp and
explains that when calcium carbide is
thrown into water double decomposition
results, the calcium combining with the
oxygen of the water and the carbon
uniting with the hydrogen and forming
acetylene, which escapes from the wa
ter with violent ebullition and may he
collected in any suitable receiver. The
solid calcium carbide, if kept dry, can
be handled and transported with per-
feet safety. The gas is manufactured by
simply immersing the carbide in water.
The new lamp consists of vessel form
ing the standard, which is about two
thirds full of water, and of smaller
glass receiver having hole in the bon
tom and furnished with fine glass
tube passing through the stopper. }n
this receiver is suspended basket of

carbide. When the receiver is immersed

The things reported from variOus
quarters in connection with the Roent-
gen rays do not grow less interesting as
time passes. On the contrary, they aue
more remarkable than ever.
The New York Journal notes the
claim Cf Professor Hammel of the Mary
land Normal school that he has secured
perfect photographs m hidden objects
with the aid of an ordinary horseshoe
magnet. He claims that he secured q
perfect photograph of the objects, light
and shade included, instead of the rough
outline as produced by the X rays proc
ess. Professor Hammel says the new
photography is not due to cathode rays,
but to new force Of magnetic nature,
and he calls his invention magnetogra-
ply.
The New York Herald tells that Mr.
Edison has obtained a clearly defined
radiograph of the human head, showing
its conformation, the position of the
ears and the thinness Of the hair in
spots. In the center of the plate, near
the spots where the eyes were, were
found two faint indications that at this
point the penetration OF the rays was
greater than elsewhere.
One of the results of the new photo
graphic discovery by DR.. ROentgen is.
according to The Herald's European edi-
tion, that letter can be photographed
through its envelope and the contents
read with as much ease as though the
seal had been broken. This experiment
has been successfully made by several
members of the staff Of LIE Gaulois. This
is not possible, however, with all kinds
of paper and all kinds of ink. Several
sheets of paper wrapped round the let
ter would make photography very diff
cult, If not impossible. 1t has been
found that letter wrapped in tin foil
pannot be photographed.
LIE Temps says the Academy of Sci
ences has been informed that M. Le-
bon's experiments ON the passage Of or
dinary light through Opaque bodies have
been repeated with great success by sew
eral other savants, with results in one
case identical il not superior to those
obtained by means Of the Roentgen rays.
