The sick man knocking at the door
Of health gets in if he knocks the
right way, and, stays out if he doesn't.
There are thousands Of ways Of gett-
ing sick but only one way to get well.
Do whatever you will, if you do not
put your digestion in good order, and
make yeur blood rich aud pure, you
will not get well. Rich, pure blood is
the only thing that can bring perfect
health. Constipation is a disease Of
the blood. A large part Of all diseases
are tracea6le directly to impurities in
the blood, and can be cured by elimi-
mating them with DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. The first thing
it does is to put the whole digestive
system into perfect order. 1t stim-
ulates the appetite, excites copious
secretion Of the digestive fluids and
promotes assimilation. 1t searches
out disease germs wherever they may
be, kills them and forces them out of
the system. The Golden Medical
Discovery" has been used with uD-
varying success for over thirty years.

your abettor, either to your mother or the cook.
 Having settled the matter of secur- ing a melting heat, the next thing is the dish to melt the metal in.
 An iron ladle is the best of all melt CTS when the softer metals are to be used. Brass and copper should be melted in clay pots or crucibles, since the melting point of either of those metals is too near that of cast iron to make a ladle available. Cast iron it. self has to be melted in a stationary furnace, or "eupola," in which the fuel and the iron are piled up together in alternate layers. When the fire gets hot enough the iron becomes almost as liquid as water and runs down into the bottom of the furnace, the un- burned coal, the ashes, and the melted dross or slag floating on the melted metal like scum on pond.
 It is all right to mix up iron with other things in this way, for it is very hard to make heat that will burn or -oxydize iron to any great extent; but If you were to throw any of the softer metals I have named loose into the fire, even in a kitchen range, they would soon be destroyed by the fierce heat. Indeed, care against oxydization must be taken when melting any of the soft metals in ladle, and the moment the least signs of it are observed the ladle should be taken out of the fire. Otherwise your supply of metal will decrease rapidly, and you may some day lose the whole of big batch, as I did once.
 l was melting zinc, and I allowed the ladle to become almost white hot. Presently the metal burst into a bril- liant, highly-colored flame, accom- panied by thick, yellow smoke, which I admired very much while it lasted. 1t didn't last long, however, and when it disappeared my metal had vanished also. When melted lead begins to oxydize a beautiful iridescent sort of scum makes its appearance on the sur face of the melted metal, and then you must get it away from the fire quick ly. It is a perfectly safe rule to watch the Iadle always, and as soon as the metal is melted to take it out.
 Of course, the molds must be made before the metaf can be pouted. and. if : SousareI constrnctiye in,your.t .tastes.the liking df these will give lots of funs

FOR A BOYS FOUNDRY.
Practical Directions for Casting Small Articles in Softer Metals.
sand for Moids-Hints About Melting and Pouring MOst Available Metals Are Tin, Lead
 and Zinc.
[copyright. lss7.l

l am acquainted with two boys who are anxious to vary their Saturday amusements the present school year by something that will give them both relaxation and practical knowledge, and l have written in answer to their letter of inquiry that they cannot do better than to start boys foundry.
 Of course it will not be possible for the average boy to make castings in iron nor yet in brass, since these metals require higher temperature in the melting than can be got outside of spe- cially prepared furnaces; but almost anybody can find way to melt lead, pewter, zinc or tin. and he can have just as much fun and learn quite as much by casting articles of these met als as he could by working in the more stubborn ones.
 The first thing to do, in case you adopt my suggestion, is to get your melting apparatus ready. Of course, the fire is of prime importance, but that will be easy, providing you can get your mother and the cook in- terested in your scheme, for then you can use the kitchen stove or range. I shall go on the assumption that you will run against no snags in the kitchen de- partment, though if you do I sincerely trust you will not mention my name as

He seemed twice as large with his clothes oil, and before strange audience he never could re- rress a chuckle as he threw aside his robes.
 Before Larry was very well known in Seattle two confidence men, melted by his genial featrues and open-hearted manner, essayed to yictimize him. Oddly enough. they failed.

A mold is generally nothing more nor less than a hole in the shape of the de- sired article, made in box of sand. The first thing, then, is to get or make a pattern of whatever you intend to cast. For the purpose of this article we will suppose that you wish to cast in lead duplicate of top. made from an old spool and having the appear ance suggested in the cut. If you have not such a top you can easily make one. When it is finished it would be good thing to oil it so that it will slip easily out of the sand. After the pattern come the "fasks." Except in size. your fasks should be exactly like those used in iron foundries. The cuts will show just how they should look. Each pair of fiasks consists of two boxes without either top or bottom. They are so made that one will fit exactly on top of the other; they must match perfectly. When I was in the boys foundry business, I used to make my 1asls out of strips of lath, which worked very well indeed
 A board with "cleats" on the bottom for the flask to stand on, "sprew sticks" sand packers and clamps, should also be got ready. The form of each of these tools is shown in the cuts.
 Suppose now that you wish to make mold of the little spinning top al. ready mentioned. Fill the bottom flask with sand, and pack it snugly but not too hard Smooth off the surface with straight edge Stick the peg of the top into the sand so that the point will be uppermost. Then dust the sand in the flask with "parting sand" of which I will say more little later. stick a "sprew stick" into the sand near the top pattern, and then set the top flask
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1897-10-10

on the one already filled. Sift the top flask full of sand, and pack it lightly and carefully with the sand packer Pull out the sprew stick, and widen the hole it leaves in the sand at the top.
 Now you are ready to lift the upper flask from the lower one, and if you have worked properly so far you will find the pattern top still in its place, peg down, point up. In the sand of the upper flask there will be conical hole of exactly the same size as the top. Now lift the pattern from the lower flask; you will see a hole in the sand there to match the peg. Make little channel in the sand of the lower flask from the point where the sprew stick stood to the edge of the top shaped hole. With fine wire make little hole through the sand in the top flask from the point of the top.
 You are now ready to make your casting; but you will probably make failure the first time. Your metal may be too hot. in which case bubbles will form in the casting; or it may be too cold, and then it wia not fill out the mold. You will soon learn just how to regulate that, however The hole left by the sprew stick is the pouring hole; the smaller one made by the fine wire is for the escape of the air as the metal runs in.
 Molder's sand, by the way, is much finer and softer than the sand used by stone masons, being, in fact, smooth, even loan. The parting sand" used to keep the upper and lower parts of the mold. from sticking together, can be had in small quantities for the ask ing at any iron foundry It is pro- duced in making castings of iron. This metal is so very hot when molten that it fairly burns the sand it comes in contact with and changes it's nature completely This burned sand sticks to the iron and has to be removed When was running boys foundry 1 had the privilege of scraping what parting sand 1 wanted from the east ings myself.
 After you have succeeded in 4nali6g simple casting, like the top. yo4lseau go ahead with more complex ones. and if you become really fysinteresfed in metal founding you will have no treuble in learning how to.1halse nioids es sa.s4.r;-. scate as y6Ts Il aS epat tfesss4tse corr. AsazaA

1mong the small ports along the Pa cific coast from Los Angeles to New Westminster, and especially among waterfront men, one of the best-known punchers is Larry Burke.
 Larry admits readily that he has been member of the toughest crowd in Sydney. Sydney was the place he usually hailed from. and he had been all over-that is, to all the places rough and-tumble longshoreman and sailor is likely to visit. He knew even the Bow cry somewhat, and had picked up the manner of speech of his class where ever he went until it was extremely difficult to locate him by ear. His head quarters were in Seattle for awhile, and later he was runner for sailors
