How to Learn to Like pictures.

The following suggestions, if you
please, are not from an artist nor even
from a connoisseur, the writer being
nothing more than an ordinary picture
lover. In general the principle to be
followed is to get as much in an atmos-
phere of pictures as possible Always
so to the museums when you are tray
cling, and if you live near enough
make occasional picture visits to Bos-
ton. Chicago or New York. Do not
make the mistake of staying too long
in gallery. You only tire yourself.
Half an hour is quite long enough. But
do not endeavor to look at every pie
ture in the gallery in that time. Look
long at few good ones and let those
you look at be those you like or at least
those which you prefer above the 9th
ers. Also ask yourself why you prefer
them. Always get catalogue. Some
times the pictures are not marked. and
you as student want always to know
the painter of your picture.

Close to a Fool.

A farmer was working in his field
when sewing machine man came
along.
Good morning" said the sewing ma
chine barker
"Mornin'
your corn seems to be pretty vel
low"
"Yaas; planted yellow Gavin"
"You don't seem to have more than
half a crop"
"Waal, planted it on the halves"
"You seem pretty close to fool

us"

to, it required the services of two doc
tors to get him into such shape that he
was able to make the next town.-New

Tennessee's wealth Of oak Timber

Tennessee's Wealth of Oak Timber.
One of Tennessee's richest fields Of
natural resources is in its forests. Most
Of her timbered land is as yet virgin,
and at the top of the list of the varie-
ties to be found is oak. That tree is
one of the most valuable that ever
grew, and this state is more than usu-
ally rich in it.
Oak timber is practically indestructi-
BILE when not exposed to the elements
Of the atmosphere. l mean that oak
timber can be submerged in the ground
or buried in the water, where the at
mosphere does not affect it, and it will
last for so many years that the man
who had put it there is dead and for
gotten by the time it has decayed.
1t is a growing favorite, and deserv-
eddy so, in many ways Of ,manufactur-
ing furniture and in finishing fine
houses. The price on it is always firm,
and every now and then 1t makes a
squirt and climbs up point from which
it never will fall. If the forests of this
tree to be found in Tennessee today are
here 80 years from now, this will be
one of the richest states in the Union

Crude Petroleum.

From crude petroleum are made kero-
sene, gasoline, naphtha, paraffin and
vaseline, A still heavier oil, left as a
residue, is used for axle grease, and the
carbon is turned into sticks for electric
lights. The sulphuric acid which is
used for purifying the products of pc
troleum is recovered and turned into
fertilizer for farms where there is too
much phosphate rock, which is thus
dissolved

For Exercise why Not waIks

The best exercise in the world is
walking.
A person who knows how TO walk in
telligently can get along without a
gymnasium. No other form of exercise
brings so many muscles into play and
develops them so normally. The most
popular games are those in which
walking forms n prominent part. Golf,
croquet and in a sense cricket and even
bicycling merely give an excuse for
walking.
Every one knows how TO walk prop
erly. It is because of carelessness that
so many walk badly. The body should
be carried erect, the chest well out, the
head back, while the arms should
swing freely at the sides. The pace
should be regulated to ones strength.
Every one should walk fast enough
and far enough to get the body in n
comfortable glow. To get the best re-
suits from walking one should give his
undivided attention 70 it. In other
words, he should walk for the pleasure
of it and not carry worries with him.
Excessive walking is injurious. New
er walk just after n heavy meal or aft
ter violent exercise. And after n walk
it is well to rest for 10 or - minutes
before taking up severe mental work.

A curious preference of certain pi-
geons for the use Of metallic objects In
building their nests Is noted by NJ.
Maurice Dusolier in The Revue Scien-
tifque. He assures us that several
pairs of these birds that he has observ-
ed In Paris have raised their young in
nests made entirely of hairpins! These
articles they collected in the paths OF
the Luxembourg. The young pigeons
grew up normally as they would in a
softer nest. NJ. Dusolier believes that
there is useful suggestion in this for
pigeon fanciers, who are often over
anxious, he thinks, to see that their
charges have soft material for their
nests.
