make q small dictionary in themselves

up /. Church st.sple.

Two riggers in western city few
years ago performed a feat that for
daring and steadiness of nerve equals
anything on record. Some repairs were
necessary at the very top Of high
church steeple. one of those slender
steeples that taper to point zoo feet
or SO above the ground. There was no
way to reach the spot from the In
side. and the riggers got a number OF
light ladders and lashed them, one
above the other. to the outside Of the
steeple. nearly to the top. The ton-
most ladder. however. was not high
enough to enable them to reach the
spot where the repairing was to be
done, and, as that part OF the steepie
was too small to permit them to lash
ladder to 1t conveniently, they adopt
ed plan that it makes one shudder to
think about, says the Philadelphia
Times. One Of them. carrying pot
OF melted solder, climbed from one lai-
der to another until he had reached
the last one. and then. bracing HIM
self. he raised an extra ladder that the
other rigger had brought up In his
hand and leaned 1t against the upper
part OF the steeple. Then the man be-
low grasped this ladder and held It
steady while the man above climbed II
to the point where his work was to be
done. He began the work at once. but
suddenly. by IN unaccountable acci-
dent. he jostied the solder pot and the
fiery stun ran out and fell over the
hands and wrists Of the man who was
holding the ladder. But the brave fel-
low did not move. With presence Of
mind and a courage that deserves a
monument of brass or marble. he main
tained a firm hold of the ladder until
his companion could come down from
his perilous perch.

fathers. In high-class store, where
antique furniture is kept, a close ex-
animation Of the various articles Will

cracked somewhere. This is one OF
the Inevitable mishaps to hard woods,
no matter how carefully they are
cured and preserved. In about nine
cases out OF ten the wood will show
defects before half century old. The
old yeneered furniture has Its defects
also; but they are in the form OF chips
and pieces knocked out. This can pc
remedied by veneering over again, but
the cracks in solid wood cannot well
be repaired, says the Boston iran
script.
