Wire Netting viii Not Do.

It has been contemplated to stretch
a vast and strong wire net across the
area Of the fall Of the ictcles. but ex-
perts claim that wire netting would not
be strong enough 10 thoroughly resist
the sharp edges OF the heavy ice.
Robes Of rubber have also been men
toned, but though they would bounce the
ice pieces back from where they came
and keep up the practice ali day. they
would be found too soft for the sharp
Ice and would be cut to pieces in no
time It is now thought that there IS
no ether remedy than to cover that
part Of the roof which suffers most from
the falling ice pieces, with a sheet OF
galvanized iron. As this would exclude
the light to a very great extent from
the northern end Of the court. it was
suggested TO pierce the iron cover with
holes.

Things Borrowed.

Along with the habit TO pronounce
peoples names correctly, to reply
promptly to notes and the like another
mark of the regard for the rights Of
others which indicates inherent refine
ment is the practice of returning bor-
rowed articles. In cities and large
communities there is comparatively
little of the kitchen borrowing that
has come to be proverbial in stories.
but there are few households which
do not find a fairly good list of Dor
rowed articles accumulated in the
course of the year, book from this
friend, an umbrella from that, a writ
ten recipe from another, bit of fancy
work as model from another, and so
on. The use which the borrower has
for the loaned articles is temporary. 1t
is therefore purely a selfish laziness
which retains them after such use
from the owner, who may be in posi-
tive and continuous need of the thing.

To Take out Ink Quickly,

Clerks and others who write in their
Shirt sleeves are often annoyed by get
ting their immaculate linen ink stained.
If the stain is allowed to remain until
the garment reaches the laundry, the
process of washing will produce an
indelible brown mark, but for few
cents any writer can guard against
annoyance and loss of this kind, for a
little chlorinated soda will remove
every suspicion of ink stain almost in
simultaneously. 1t is only necessary to
rub the soda in and then rinse or wash
it out with few drops of water, and
all trace Of the ink is gone. But the
remedy must be applied Immediately
after the accident to be effective.
