reads the modern languages very easi-

reception held in New York just prior
to his leaving for Europe, Roberts was
introduced to a distinguished French

artist asked in his own tongue: "You

NO." answered the poet; IT am sorry

Saturday sallie sat sewing steadily,

Sammie said, slyly: ''Sweetheart,

sallie started-seemingly surprised

Storage of Flood Waters.

At the annual congress of the Sani-
tary institute at Southampton Prof.
Henry Robinson said the better con-
servation of the rainfall was of nation
al Importance, since the water avail
able for the requirements of the people
did not increase with the popula ton.
Every year a struggle arose for water
sheds whence the supply for large
towns could be obtained, while village
populations had too often to depend
upon shallow wells, which were liable
to pollution. Flood waters should be
stored, so as to render the flow of riy-
ers more equable, and the excess wa
ter which now caused damage by floods
would be available for domestic sup
ply, irrigation and improving naviga-
tion in rivers and canals.

SOLDERING MADE EASY.
Hints for Household T1nsmtths Who
Are without a Regular Outfit
of Proper Tools.

Occasionally a man wants a job done
which ordinarily belongs to the tin
smith. but which cannot well be de-
layed long enough to go to an expert.
Such persons will find these suggestions
from the Mechanic Arts Magazine help
full: ''The chief difficulty experienced
bJ beginner in attempting to solder
two pieces of metal together is to secure
an even flow of the solder between the
pieces, which is necessary to make a
strong union. Either the surfaces to
be joined have not been thoroughly
cleaned or the soldering iron is too hot
or not sufficiently timed; and as re-
suit the solder runs off in little
globules of melted metal or masses un-
evenly at one place and not at another,
instead Of spreading uniformly in a
thin film over the joint, as it should.
The consequence is that we have, when
the work is done, weak joint, and one
presenting a decidedly botched, un-
tidy appearance. In fact, we have
proved ourselves poor workmen.
"Many of these difficulties may often
be avoided in uniting small pieces of
tin or brass, and a neat and strong
union be obtained without the use of
regular soldering iron, in the follow
ing manner: Scrape the surfaces to
be joined with a small knifeblade till
bright and rough, and avoid touching
them thereafter with the fingers.
Sprinkle over them a little finely pow
dered r0sin which NAV he nraSsad with
the blade of knife, to cause it to ad-
here to the surfaces. Now lay the sur
faces together, with three or four
thicknesses of bright tinfoil between
them, and hold or secure them firmly
in position, while a redhot poker or
other iron is pressed strongly against
the upper surface, over the joint. The
heat must be ample to heat the metal
and melt the tin in the joint, after
which the iron is quickly removed, but
the joint must not be disturbed in the
slightest degree till cold"

llFE'S PATHWAY.

One fragrant summer day;

4 maiden meath the linden stood
One fragrant summer day;
The breezes rippled through the wood
Like sportive elves at play.
Xhey touched her cheek, her braided hair
They kissed her: lips and brow.
The maiden smiled. Life is so fair,
Could love but bless it nOW!''
A woman to the linden came,
With children at her knee;
They plucked the lily's ruddy flame,
And laughed in careless glee;
For her the robins clearest lay,
The sweets Of bush and bine.
Life Is SO BRIGHT" she said, "to-day,
If only wealth were mine!'
Beneath the bending linden tree
An aged woman passed,
When shadows deepened DER the lea,
Uncertain, vague and vast.
'Oh love may fail,' she said, "and gold
Grow dark as humid sod;
Life's path is fair, when all is told,
Because it leads to God"
