Hi. Home sur,oundinr,

''You see" said the Arizona man
who had been asked why he didn't
come east to live, Its all in being &C.
quainted with the people around you.
l was hauled up before justice of
the peace for cutting a Mexican, and,
knowing me, he let me off with SO
fine. Then | went at it and called
him fifty-two of the hardest names I
could think of, and ended up by throw
ing him through Il window. How much
dye think he fined me for all that?"
He probably sent you to JAIL
Not much. AS he knew my ways
and had had lot of fun Of it he only
tucked on So more. l admit that you
can get better drink in the east
and eat off of tablecloths, but how
would l come out cutting Mexicans and
toying with the law and having Sat
urday holidays?"

Papa Up a Stump.

Here" said little Arthur's father,
you've made IA blunder in this pict-
ure Your figures are well drawn, but
you have made horse with wings to
represent Time. That isn't right. The
horse with wings is Pegasus. the steed
on which the poet is supposed to ride.
Time Should be represented by an old
man with scythe."
"Well, the boy replied. people often
say ''Time flies" don't they?" Yes"
"And then there's something about
taking time by the forelock, isn't
there?" If time isn't horse with
wings how can it fly and be taken by
the forelock z"

STEEL WOOL.
A Curious Material Used as a Sub
stitute For Sandpnper.


Steel wool is machine produced ma
terlal that Is used as substitute for
sandpaper. 1t is composed Of sharp
edged threads of STEEL which curl up
together like wool. or somewhat as the
wood tibers Of the familiar material
known as excelsior curl up together,
though the steel wool is very much
finer, the finest Of it being not much
coarSsr than the coarsest of natural
woods. The steel wool is put up in
packages containing one pound each.
These are something like rolls of cot
ton batting, but smaller, a pound Of
steel WOOL loosely packed, making,
rolled in paper and open at the ends,
a package perhaps 10 inches long and
two or three inches in diameter.
Made in various degrees Of coarse
ness. steel wool is put to variety Of
uses. the finer woods for polishing wood
and metal, and the coarser for rub
bling down paint and varnish. 1t is
often used on special parts of work,
while, for example, on the fiat surfaces
of door Il man would use sandpaper
ings he would use steel wool, which fits
into the crevices and conforms itself
to irregular shapes. Such work can
be done with steel wool far more readi-
ly and quickly than with sandpaper,
and it is used with like advantage on
irregular and small surfaces and on
carved work
Besides the steel wool there is a
coarser material of the same kind call
ed steel shayings, which is put to vari-
GUS uses, as in taking off old paint or
varnish and in polishing wood before
painting, and it is used on bowling al
leys and on floors for smoothing and
cleaning them.
Sandpaper clogs in use, steel wool
breaks down. The wool is commonly
used with gloves to keep the ends from
sticking into the fingers.-New York

CASk is NEVER EMPTY.
For Years Wine Is Drawn From 1t

All really excellent champagne is the
result Of judicious blending. Time
was when each big vineyard owner
had his own cellar and his own brand.
But it has been found advantag eous to
sell the raw wine to dealers, who make
one district supply what another lacks.
But there are still few provincial
establishments that cling to the old
ways-crowning with a wreath of flow
ers the first tubful Of ripe grapes and
keeping ''the bride of the cellar full
from year to year.
The bride, be it understood, is spe-
cial wine cask filed with the first run
ming Of the press. More accurately it
holds the juice which drips away be-
fore any pressure is applied. Wine
from it is never sold, but used upon
high days and holidays, passed about
as a gift or devoted to the comfort Of
the sick and the poor.
Something akin to the bride exists in
the German free cities. Each of them
has a wine cellar, and In each cellar
there is a cask always yielding wine
but never empty.
Any burgher Is entitled to demand a
bottle Of it's contents when he marries,
when his first son is christened and
also when the son is 81. If the son is
adventurous or the burgher himself,

from the cask when he comes home
from far countries.
But there is an official specially
charged to see that whenever bottle
full is drawn out another bottleful of
as near as possible the same quality at
once goes in. And thus it happens that
the city cask is never empty.-Boston
