Here is method Of making coff ee
which may be worth trying to those
who like their morning cup strong.
1t is practically the French drip
method, bat the distinguishing char
acteristic is that it is made in glass,
instead of metal. Buy from depot
of medical supplies an annealed glass
flask about the size OF an ordinary
water bottle. Boiling water will not
break it. A glass funnel and a square
of coarse muslin complete the coffee
machine. The water should boil over
spirit lamp placed on the table, in
order that it may be used at precisely
the right moment.
Fill the funnel, lined with muslin
square, with freshly ground coffee,
heaping tablespoonful to the cup. The
flask should first be heated by pour
ing in little boiling water. The
coffee is made by pouring boiling
water through the funnel into the
flask, 1t is very black, aud most
people will prefer their cups half filled
with hot water.

Seldom in any age have small boys

that visitors to the New York head

Any kind of plate in daily use may

hours. The water should be boiling

The advance in the cost of building
materials and the price of labor is due
entirely to the extraordinary demand.
In the period of depression supplies
were allowed to reach very low
point. There was no need to carry
large stocks of lumber and therefore
the sawmills did not make it, while
the iron mills were idle for lack of
orders. Therefore when renewal of
activity came the visible supply of
bull ding materials was exhausted i'll
no time, and the demand from foreign
markets for lumber and steel and iron
was beyone all experience. The forces
were doubled and the wheels were
never STILL but the manufacturers
were unable to supply what was want
ed and the people who wanted it most
forced up the prices. Iron contracts
that were being let at ) per cent.
increase soon went up to % per cent.
Plumbing supplies are 10 and 1S per
cent. higher than they were year
ago. The same is true of all kinds of
hardware and other staples, while on
fancy iron, marble and woodwork
there has been rise of 40 and 80 per
cent.
A building that could have beeu
erected for $250,000 last year would
cost $780, 900 now, but there does not
seem to be any indication of let-up.

A new variety of the everyday phi

News in the person of a man who, it
says, came racing down the iron steps
which led to the train-shed at the
Northwestern depot, just as train
was pulling out. He was stout and per-
spring, and his arms were filled with
bundles. Everybody got out of his
way as he chased the rear car down
the long platform, some shouting ad-
vice and pleasant comment after him.
Some sportively inclined people offered
bets in a loud voice on his chances
of catching the train, and others
laughed at his grim determination. But
he caught it and was hoisted up on the
platform by a trainman without the
loss of bundle. He shook his fist at
the cheering crowd behind him, and
went inside the car with the blessed
sense of having won. 1t was only
when the conductor came around for
his ticket that he learned that he was
on the Milwaukee division train
when he should have been moving to-
ward Park Ridge, which lies in diff
ferent direction. Most men would have
