CHEERFULNESS AT TABLE.
make Every Meal an Occaaion for the
Interchange of Entertaining
Convention.

An old lady, who looked as though
she might have belonged to the ''sun-
shine society," all her life, was asked
by friend the secret of her never
failing cheerfulness. Her answer con-
tains suggestive lesson for parents.
II think" said the clever old lady,
ut Is because we were taught in our
family to be cheerful at the table.
Ny father was lawyer with large
criminal practice. His mind was
harassed with difficult problems all the
day long, yet he always came to the
table with q smile and pleasant
greeting for everyone, and exerted
himself to make the table-hour de-
lightful. All his powers to charm
were freely given to entertain his
family. Three times a day we felt this
genial influence, and the effect was
marvellous. If a child came to the ia
BILE with cross looks, he or she was
quietly sent away to find good boy
or girl, for only such were allowed
to come within that loving circle. We
were taught that all petty grievances
and jea1ousies must be forgotten when
meal time came, and the habit of be-
ing cheerful three times a day, under
all circumstances, had it's effect on
even the most sullen temper. Crate
full as I am for all the training re-
ceived in my childhood home, look
back upon the table influence as among
the best of my life"
Table manners are, Of course, essen
tial, but the most important thing is
to make the meal an occasion for the
Interchange of delightful and enter
tanning conversation. Let such gath
erings, fathers and mothers, make the
most happy hour of the day, and the
influence on the children may be be-

being obtained either from a electric
motor connected to the trolley wire
or from steam engine. AS the mate
rial becomes thoroughly mixed and

on which the drum rests is tilted for

rotation of the mixer, which then de-

a barrow set beneath the mouth, to
be wheeled to the exact spot where it
is needed in preparing the roadway,
or by keeping the machine in close
touch with the workmen the concrete
may be delivered direct to the road
bed without further handling. AS the
machine can be built with large ca
pacity and is thorough in it's work it
will probably be found more econom-
ical in use than the fat mixing boards
on which the concrete is now COM

WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP.
Others, That of Seeing Being
the First.

When q man drops off to sleep his
body does not do so all at once. Some
senses become dormant before 9TH
ers, and always in the same order. As
he becomes drowsy the eyes close and
the sense of seeing is at rest.
It is quickly followed by the sense
of taste. He next loses the sense Of
smell, and then, after short interval,
the tympanum becomes insensible to
sound-or, rather, the nerves which
run to the brain from it fail to con-
vey any sense of hearing.
The last sense to leave: is that of
touch, and in some representative peo-
pie it is hardly ever dormant. This
sense is also the first to return upon
awakening. Then hearing follows
suit; after that taste, and then the
eye becomes able to flash impressions
back to the brain.
The same gradual loss of power is
observed in the muscles and sinews.
Slumber begins at the feet, and slow
ly spreads up the limbs and trunk un-
til it reaches the brain, when uncon-
seriousness is complete and the body
is at rest.-Chicago American.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The London Hospital, referring to
the Introduction of lace-making in q
cripples' home and industrial school
for girls, says the pupils proved re-
markedly apt and were delighted with
their new task.
The exporting of American shoes
is of comparatively recent growth.
In 1895 this country exported only
$1,OOO,000 worth of boots and shoes.
but for the fiscal year 1901 it sent
abroad $5,500,00O worth of boots and
shoes.
The so-called "waltzing mice" of
China and Japan have been supposed
to owe their dancing popularity to
disease of the inner ear. After thor
ough examination of the ears of these
remarkable animals, DR.. K. Kishi
reaches the conclusion that the or
gals are perfectly healthy and that
the dancing is an effect of centuries
of confinement of the race in small
cages.
Recent Investigations by two physi-
clans OF Rome as to the depth of
sleep have been carried on by means
of an instrument called an "ethsome-
ter" invented by Prof. Griessbach.
This Instrument probes the flesh of the
sleeper with pins of steel, varying in
sharpness. A register of the depth
of sleep is thus provided by means
of the amount of pain inflicted neces-
sary to awake the subject.
The production of iron ore in France
is centered principally in three dis
tricts-that of the northeast, or the
Meurtheet-Moselle, is the most i'm
portant, producing 100000 tons of
the $500, 900 tons of iron ore mined in
France annually; that of the Pyrenees,
producing 100000 tons, and that of
Normandy, 100000 tons. Che last may
be said to be in it's infancy. From
its geographical position it's ores are
generally sent to foreign countries,
while the ores produced ia the other
districts are consumed by the metal
lurgical industries of Fra1ce.

MAKING FARMS IN NEBRASKA.
AEric nlturists Catch New Land by
Means of Dams and Prevent Soil
from Being Washed Away.

Farm building is the latest vocation
of the Nebraska farmer, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. After the harvest
ing Of the crops thousands of farmers
in eastern Nebraska will spend weeks
in the construction of dams that will
catch for them new land. Most Of
these farmers have been driven to this
by the heavy rains of this summer,
which have carried away the black soil
from their farms and lett them with
only clay subsoil.
Lewis C.. Burnett, of Otoe county, in
a published letter, insists that the i'm
pairment of the soil in this manner this
year far exceeds the loss caused by
the drought of last year.
"The surface soil that is washed off
with each rain or flood" he says, ''is
to the earth what cream is to milk, and,
while the subsoil is rich and with
plenty of manure and good cultivation
can be made to produce good crops
eventually, the black earth which it
has taken ages to prepare for the use
of man can never be reproduced. The
loss will not be felt in diminished crops
this year, but the soil will never be as
good as before, and the droughts of
coming years will hurt the farmers
worse than ever"
It is agreed by the experts that the
only way to save the black soil for
Nebraska is to build dams that will
catch the sediment before it goes int
the Missouri. This is comparatively
inexpensive, but involves a great deal
of labor. The farmers have been en-
gagged in recent years in thing and
ditching their lands. and this system,
while abolishing chills and fever, has
robbed the land of it's natural stor-
age reservoirs and impoverished the
soil.
By a creek which empties into the
Missouri, Charles Clayton, of Syracuse,
has 4OO-acre farm which he "built'
by the use of dams. This year he has
caught is inches of soil-wash on an So
acre farm. His whole farm is made
up of washings from his neighbors'
holdings. He has built up his farm
until it is beyond the reach of high
water. One 2OO-acre field of corn this
year will yield so bushels to the acre,
while none of his neighbors' will go
over so. In one part of his farm is an
eight-foot fill.

MEDIAN AGE INCREASING.
Report of Census Bureau Showing
Population Comparisons by
Decades.

The census bureau has issued state
ment showing the increasing age of the
population from decade to decade. The
statement gives the results of comput-
ing the median, instead of the average
age. The median is such an age that
half the population is under it and
half is over it.
The median age of the total popula-
tion in 1900 was 22.S, as compared with
21.9 in 1890. The median age of the
white population H. the last census
year was 49, and the colored, including
negroes, Indians and Mongolians, was
1877, while in 1890 the white popula-
-tion was 224 and the colored 1873.
The report shows there was an in
crease in the median age of the white
population during each decade from
1910 to 1900 amounting in the 90 years
to "a years, or an average amount of
about five-sixths of a year in a decade.
The median age of the colored popu-
lation increased after 1880, but with
less regularity. The median age of the
colored population increased three
years in the 70-year period from 1880 to
1900, or only about half as fast as that
of the whites. But during the last 20
years of the century the increase for
the two groups has been substantial
~ the same, 1.9 years for the colored
and two years for the white.
The statement concludes as follows:
'sMany complex influences have coop
Grated in producing as a resultant this
steady change in the age composition
of the population. Three may be men,
toned, the rapid progress of medical
and sanitary science, which has tend
ed to increase the average length of
life; the decrease in the relative num-
Der of children born, which has made
the earlier age periods less preponder-
ant numerically in the total popula-
tion, and the influx, especially since
1910, of great numbers of adult immi-
grants, increasing the number in the
older age periods.
''The difference between the white
and colored populations is doubtless
due to the fact that the influences
have wrought more powerfully upon
the white race than upon the colored."'

VIBRATING BEAUTY CHAIR.

forations which are covered by the
thin rubber. The seat and back of
the chair are filled with water when
the patient sits in the continuance, and
then hammer, which strikes rubber
disk, is set in motion. This hammer
starts vibratory waves in the water,
and these waves are communicated to
the body by means of the perforations
in the chair. Lillian Russell and Bern
hardt are using vibratory chairs, and
this means of acquiring strength with
out expanding energy is becoming
quite fad in New York. The vibra-
tory chairs cost from 5000 up, and con-
sequently will never become popular
among the majority of beauty seekers.

DURABILITY OF WOODS.
Scientific Experiments from the Re-
suits of Which Many Practical
Lessons May BE Learned.

Experiments have been lately made
by driving sticks, made of different
woods, each two feet long and one and
one-half. inches square, into the
ground, only one-half an inch project
ing outward. 1t was found that in five
years all those made of oak, elm, ash,
fir. soft mahogany, and nearly every
variety of pine, were totally rotten.
Larch, hard pine and teak wood were
decayed on the outside only; while
acacia, with the exception of being
also slightly attacked on the exterior,
was otherwise sound. Hard mahogany
and cedar of Lebanon in tolerably
good condition.; but only Virginia &C.
dar was found as good as when put in
the ground. This is of some impor-
lance to builders, showing what woods
should be avoided and what others
used by preference in underground
work. The duration of wood when
kept dry is very great, as beams still
exist which are known to be nearly
1,l00 years old. Piles driven by the
Romans prior to the Christian era have
been examined of late and found to be
perfectly sound after an immersion of
nearly 2,ooo years. The wood of some
tools will last longer than the metals,
as in spades, hoes'and plows. In other
tools the wood is first gone, as in wag-
ons, wheelbarrows and machines. Such
wood should be painted or oiled; the
paint not only looks well, but pre-
serves the wood. Petroleum oil is as
good as any other. Hardwood stumps
decay in five or six years, spruce
stumps decay in about the same time,
hemlock stumps in eight to nine years,
cedar eight to nine years, pine stumps
never. Cedar, oak, yellow pine and
chestnut are the most durable woods
in dry places.-Boston Budget.

Queer Place for a Nest

G. E. Fairs, goods agent at the
Worthing railway station, supplies an
interesting piece of nesting Informal
ton, says the Pail Mall Gazette. A
pair of robins have built their nest in
an old beer can, lying between the rails
of one of the lines in the goods yard
at Worthing station. Trucks are
shunted over it daily, and the unload
ing and carting of goods take place al
most every hour of the day within two
feet of the can. The nest at present
contains four eggs, and the birds do
not appear to be concerned in the least
at the constant noise about them.

THE SUMMER SONGS.
When the rosebuds are unfurled
There is music in the world

When the rosebuds are unfurled
There is music in the world
All day long.
1t is whispered by the trees
AS they rustic in the breeze,
And its song
Lends mystery unknown
TO the ever-restless moan
OF the seas.
In the summertime of life,
In the pauses Of the strife,
There's a song.
1t IS sweet beyond compare,
And it's cadence fills the air
All day long;
1t is borne across the seas
BY the sympathetic breeze,
Everywhere.
But the roses fade away,
And the longest summer day
Soon is past.
Life and all that it portends-
Hope, ambition, friendship, friends-
May not last.
Yet though other things be vain,
Still those summer songs remain
To the end!

A familiar belief is that moss grows
chiefly on the north side of trees. The
notion is not established by science,
and an examination of many trees has

had the moss on the west side, ten per
cent. on the northwest side, ten per

on the northeast side, IS per cent. on

Cooking Reduces Meat Bulk.

Meat in cooking loses much of
its bulk from evaporation small
pieces more than large. In late expert
ments a pound piece of lean beef lost
1876 per cent. in weight, but a five.
pound piece was reduced only 1913 per
cent. Loss in nutrition was much less
than this would indicate.
