Useful Purposes of Rosin.

There are many useful purposes to
which rosin can be applied outside Of
those of general practice. AS nom
conductor of heat it is used in the pro-
lection Of water pipes, particularly in
crossing bridges, where the pipe is laid
In the middle Of long box and the
whole filed with melted rosin. Rosin
is also used in supporting basement
floors In machine shops. which may be
laid over some dry material, as spent
molding sand, which is carefully lev
eled of, and the planking laid upon
temporary supports separating it about
two inches above the sand.
Numerous holes about two inches In
diameter being bored through these
planks, melted rosin is forced through
them by means Of tunnels until the
whole space is solidly filed. and then
the upper flooring is laid upon these
planks. In case the floor is subjected
to shocks sufficient to break the rosin
it rapidly joins together again in much
the same manner as the regulation Of
Ice.

CURES FOR TOOTHACHE.
Eene edics That Do Not Appeal to the
Ordinary Man Today.

Ordinary Man Today.
The man il dental anguish some
times curses with Burns the venomed

he prays. St. Augustine in his Con

from "dolor dentium" toothache), ap-
parenty il an aggravated form, for
he could not speak. Thereupon he
wrote on wax a prayer to God for the
other brethren to repeat, and as soon
as all We're on their knees the pain
went. But what a pain" he says.
Never since my tender age had l ex-
perienced the Ike" Southey in his
Life of John Wesley" tells Of that
eminent preacher that when his own
tooth ached he prayed and the pain
left him.
Unfortunately ordinary men do not
seem to have such efficacious faith.
When the cxcruciation begins, they
must bear it philosophically, and on
Shakespeare's authority toothache

philosophers armor of patience. In
the middle ages the devout who We're

CATCH PHRASES.
Their Utility In Advancing the In
tereats Of Business Men.

Their Utility In Advancing the In
tereats Of Business Men.
There are many instances Of where
suitable catch line we'll drilled into
people has been Of great value in build
ing business. The best catch line is
one that fits your business best, and
the discoverer Of such line is apt to
be due more to inspiration than to eff
fort. Pick the distinctive feature Of
your stock or business methods and en-
deavor to express it in a breath.
If you can coin phrase that ex-
presses your central business idea or
emphasizes some feature that marks
your store alone, you can make good
use Of it. It puts into condensed form
an idea that will get hold Of people
and influence them if persistently pre-
sented to them. One fact about your
business we'll lodged in the heads Of
people is as good as score that do not
penetrate.
You can make people believe about
what you like if you 80 about it prop
erly. If man comes to you today and
tells you there will be panic inside
Of six months, you will pay no atten-
ton to him. If another comes tomor-
row with the same story. he will get
no attention, but you will idly wonder
what is getting into folks. The third
man you will argue the matter with.
The fourth will get more Of hearing.
and you will begin to see signs of dis
aster yourself. BY the time the tenth
man has made the statement you will
be. ready to tell folks the same story
yourself.
Probably you yourself could not be
Influenced in such q manner, but the
common run of people are built that
way and will believe what they are
told often enough. That is why an
expressive catch phrase does good. 1t
comes to stand for you and your meth
ods and Of necessity is remembered
when goods in your line are wanted.
AS ordinarily used such a phrase Is
Of little value, because it is not proper

THE GIRLS OF kASHMlR.
why They Are Not az Beautiful m
They Once Were.

why They Are Not az Beautiful m
They Once Were.
The girls of Kashmir in former times
were sold and carried away to the
Puniab, in India. They commanded a
large price, and parents IN moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been in the habit Of parting with their
daughters to place themselves in easier
circumstances, and the daughters have
generally been quite willing to escape
from a life Of penury and labor to one
of opulence and ease.
A laboring man in this part of lnda
cannot earn over 50 or S3 a month
while many receive for their daughters
as high as $1,000. There are some cases
where $4,000 was paid, but the usual
price has been from $100 to $500.
The practice became SO common as
well as so damaging that severe law
was enacted prohibiting any one from
removing any woman from the coun-
try, but it is said that the business
goes on now as it has done for hun
dreds Of years. and to that, practice
may be charged the fact that the wo-
men of Kashmir are not as beautiful
as they once were.
The process of taking all the beauti-
full girls away. leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones to continue the
race, has lowered the standard OF beau
ty. Most Of the women and girls per
form field labor IS much as the men,
and their dress is Of the coarsest and
plainest materials. consisting Of gar
ment like nightgown made OF white
cotton. There is no effort to have it ut.
The condition Of women in Kashmir
is a very sad one, but one from which
there does not seem to be any present
escape. It is q constant struggle to
live, without the least hope of any ac-
cumulation or Of ever seeing better
days.
The men only receive about . cents
day and the women generally about 3
cents, and that will provide only the
coarsest d.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
