The bane of the ideal houselSeeper's
life is dust; and yet this seemingly in
significant, exasperating dust has been
a study of scientists for century.
when beam of sunlight enters a
darkened room it can be seen along its
whole course" says one writer. "The
light is reflected to every side and made
to reach the eye by the dust in the air
of the room; we do not see the sunbeam,
but the dust which is illumined by -.
AS unimportant as this curious stuff
seems, it plays a conspicuous part in
nature; it is what makes the sky ap-
pear blue, and when we look at the sky
we see the dust ;llumined by the sun.
Light goes through all the gases-the
dust catches it, reflects it in every di-
rection and so causes the whole atmos-
phere to appear clear, in the same way
that it makes the sunbeam visible in
the dark room.
without this strange, wonderful
dust there would be no blue sky-it
would be as dark or darker than on
moonless nights. The glowing disc of
the sun would stand Immediately
against the black background, thus
producing binding light where the
suns rays fall and deep black shadows
where they do not. 1t is to dust that
we owe the moderately tempered day
light adapted to our eyes; and it is dust
that contributes to the beauty of the
scenery. The finest dust gives the blue
tone to the sky, while the coarser kind
produces an almost black appearance.
THE clouds consist of dust and va
por; if there be only little dust all
the vapor is precipitated upon it, and
so loads the clouds with water that
they sink in heavy drops to the ground.
Without dust the vapor would pene-
trate houses, making everything mold
with damp; we should feel upon going
out that our clothes were becoming
saturated and umbrellas would be a
useless protection. 1t is hard, indeed,
to conceive how different everything
would be if there were no dust; this
trivial, common stuff has its considera-
BILE part in the processes of nature, and
there is much of the wonderful and
mysterious concealed in its filmy parti-
cles. detroit Free Press.

A mother describes how she came to
look upon the rubbish in her boys
drawer as his unwritten diary and the
basis of his autobiography. She said to
him one day:
MY son, your bureau drawer is full
of rubbish. You had better clean it
out"
Yes, that would be his great delight;
so we began.
This horseshoe is of no use"
"Oh, yes, tits; 1 fond it under grand

"These clamshells you'd better break
up for the hens"
"Why, mamma, I got them on the
beach, you know, last summer"
"And this faded ribbon-burn it up"
"Oh, no! That was our class badge
for the last day of school, and want
to keep it." .
Here is that old tin flute yet! Why
do you heap up such trash?"
THAT is nice flute that Willie gave
me two Christmases ago. Didn't we
have a splendid time that day?"
"Well, this bottle is good for moth

"Oh, yes, it is. That is the bottle
used for a bobber when we went fish

that bottle away under water!'
