Archbishop Benson was head master.
Benson, we are told by his son In the

rector suddenly saying, 81 must smoke

about in 1t for a time, presently pro
ducing clay churchwarden pipe,
which he lighted and solemnly smoked
as he walked, putting it, when he had
done, into hole among some tree
roots, and explaining that he had a
"cache" of pipes in several places In
the parish, to meet the exigencies of
sudden desire for tobacco.
The friendship between the two en-.
thusastic men was very intimate.

An Excellent Medicine.

One of the best features of sea bath
Is the salt water inadvertently swal-
lowed by bathers. 1t Is wonderful
tonic for the liver, stomach and kid
neys. In many cases 1t will cure bill
iousness when all drug preparations
have failed. 1t is peculiarly effective
in ordinary cases of indigestion, dIsor
dered stomach and insomnia, and has
been known to produce excellent re-
suits in many cases Of dyspepsia. Clean
sea water, such as is to be had at any
Of our numerous fashionable seaside
resorts, is full Of tonic and sedatiye
properties. 1t won't hurt anybody. In
deed, two or three big swallows Of 1t
would be of positive benefit to nine
bathers out Of ten. 1t Is not, Of course,
a palatable or tempting dose to take,
but neither is quinine or calomel You

the cracks, as shown In the picture. At
once the crack leaps out and follows
and Bert leads 1t around as much as
he wishes. When the stem cools off he
heats it up again.
When the bottle Is cut off to tumbler
size the rough edges are smoothed
down with fine file or a grindstone
and Bert has fine new tumbler.
Besides this, bottle may be cut into
all manner Of odd shapes-spirals,
bracelets and lenses-with the pipe
stem. Any boy can become expert at
1t with very little practice. A pane of
glass may be cut In similar way.
There is another and older method
of cutting bottle in two with string
which may be tried when pipe stem is
not at hand. Hunters and backwoods-
men often use it with great success. al.
though 1t is not as sure and practical
as the pipe-stem method.
Two boys are necessary to do the
work. Take very stout piece of hand
