A Window Refrigerator.

In the Southern States, where the
thermometer seldom gets below 60 or
20 degrees, except in the very heart of
the winter months, it is often difficult
problem to keep perishable foods in
good condition. This Is also true in
the Northern States in the summer sea-
son, and the housewife has to have an
ice chest or refrigerator in which to
store certain articles of food. Fruits of
all kinds, butter, meats and similar
eatables must be kept out of the heat,
as we all know that they will not be fit

storage. These are the eggs we inva-
riably get in the winter time. as really
fresh eggs from the country as so dear
as to limit the quantity used. The
housewife purchases the cold storage
egs among which a bad one can al
ways be found, and many nice cake
has been spoiled on this account. 1t is
difficult to tell with the naked. eye the
inevitable bad one that slips in occa
sionally, and 1t Is usually discovered
when 1t is too late. A very simple
device to overcome the chance of a bad
egg getting into the cake or pudding
Is shown here. The egg Is placed in
the smaller end of the funnel. the 9TH
er end covering the eyes. The peculiar
shape so reflects the light that 1t is
an easy matter to detect the bad egg
from the good one, and saves the cook
from worrying whether her cake will
be spoiled. There would be no chance,
either, of boiling an egg and after
opening 1t finding 1t to be strong and
not fit to eat. A. Blum, of Savannah,
Ca. is the patentee.

PINE STUMPS YIELD OILS.
Plants Set Up In Lake Superior Re-
Rion By Weyerhaeuser Syndicate.

Rtou by Weyerhaeuser syndicate.
A new proof of the fact that what
is wasted one time becomes a valu-
able material under other circum-
stances, is given in the success Of pine
tar plants that have been started up
near the head OF Lake Superior. That
the industry is no experiment and of
no doubtful value is shown by the
fact that the Weyerhaeuser syndicate,
the largest numbering concern in the
world, has taken it up, has just bought
out the plants already established and
is installing more.
All the region about the head Of
Lake Superior is, OF was, covered with
pine timber, and when this was cut
the stumps remained on the ground.
Pine stumps do not rot as do. those of
hardwoods and the presence Of these
stumps was a serious obstacle to the
spread OF farming in the region.
Now comes the pine tar company
and offers to clear a farm of all its
old stumps or to pay the owner So
for every cord OF them thrt he will
pull himself. For farmers, through
out thousands Of acres, this is an esti-
mable boon and 1t will open hundreds

possible. The busy woman must select
time in which she knows she will
have at least a couple of hours to
spare, in order to allow the hair to dry
out thoroughly. She knows that rub
bling would do more harm than good
as the knots and tangles into which the
hairs would be worked would take
longer in the end to unravel than sit
ting with the back to the sun and dry

method of the apparatus shown in the
Illustration the operation can be accom-
plished very quickly. A small alcohol
lamp placed inside the tube furnishes
heat sufficient to dry the hair thorough
ly and with no loss of time, the con-
struction being such as to create a
draught of air which passes out of the
mouth OF the tube.
Being small and of little weight the
lamp can be adjusted on any convent
ent chair or table to suit the person
using it. Miss Eleanor Robinson, of
Waco, Texas. Is the inventor

the stumps are got out.
The company has invented, or ap-
piled existing processes of destructive
distillation Of wood to the pine stumps
and is securing combined product
of great value. There Is large
amount of turpentine in these dry
stumps, also a high grade of lubricat-
ing oil, tar and, finally, excellent char
coal. The discovery that lubricating
oil was to be secured from stumps
by carrying the distilled product to
its last analysis. is quite new, and no
machines for producing this have yet
been installed, but they are to be put
in at once in the company's first plant,
a few miles south Of Duluth.

CHAPTER X.
Bitter Prospec ts.

The storm had continued throughout
the day and arose at night with renew
ed fury. 1t was common thing to
have weeks of storms at this season of
the year and the sun rarely ever showed
itself. But every storm was the
"worst" and the oldest indiv dual
would verify the fact.
1t only goes to show how quickly
people forget even the unpleasant
things Of life. A month of rain and
sleet and snow last year, which at the
time was declared unbearable, is for
gotten in the spring sunshine and when
another winter storm comes, although
mild compared with former ones, it is
a record-breaker while it lasts and the
complaint is long and loud
But such is the way of weak, frivolous
humanity. 1t was sunshine yesterday
ls storming today and tomorrow will
be whatever the temperament suggests
1t amounts to nothing anyway; forever
complaining forgiving, expecting. be-
ing disappointed and disappointing 9TH
ers; yesterdays friend is today's enc
my; in the deepest poverty and dis
tress yesterday, rich and happy today
After all the mind is the weather vane
in life's short span of time and the
tongue the thermometer. Whatever the
mind conceives is so, and the tongue
indicates the state of the mind. Life
is storm or sunshine just as the mind
makes it, and the wagging tongue re-
cords the impression.
But whether in reality 1t was the
mildest or most severe storm in the
history of the fishing village on the
north banks of the Columbia, in the
mind of one it was the darkest hour OF
her life. The wind blew louder, the
rainfall on the roof was more rasping
and the night had closed in with great

to put on the table If they are not per-
fectly fresh. In those families which
are lucky enough to possess an ice
chest or refrigerator 1t is generally
placed in the cellar, where 1t is always
cooler and where the Ice melts less
rapidly. or sometimes 1t Is put out In
the yard. Every time an article is
wanted, even If 1t is only a glass of
ice water, 1t means a trudge up and
down stairs, which is very firing 10
the housewife. A very compact and
convenient substitute for the refrig
orator is shown in the illustration 1t
will be observed at a glance how use
full it would be and also the time that
would be saved. The inside compart-
ments can be arranged to suit the in
dividual taste and the box placed
where it would be most easy to reach.
The idea of the inventor is to fasten
the chest, as it might be called. on
swinging brackets just outside of the
kitchen window, where it would be
handy to reach. After the article want
ed has been removed from the chest,
it can be pushed back against the wall
out of the way.
Another very great advantage Is that
it could be used in winter as well as
summer, as in winter the cold air
would be sufficient to keep fresh all
perishable articles. The inventor is H.
G. McClung, of New York City.

Tester for Eggs.

We are all more or less familiar with
the cold storage house and its uses, but
few of us fully understand the inside
workings nor the part it has come to
play in every day life. One Of the prl-
mary objects of the cold storage house
is storing of eggs In the spring when
eggs are cheaper than at any other
time of the year, the managers of these
establishments purchase immense
quantities and put them away in cold

are dead from di owning or otherwise,
except one of the witnesses that signed

religious ideas in his head and is try
ing to make trouble. L had my book

But the transaction is beginning to

is true, but it all counts in the end

themselves paid in full.

"How about the gillnetters, hus-
band?' inquired Mrs. Seadog.
"Well, fish are getting scarce on their
side of the river. They are scarce
everywhere, foi that matter. But
since the government jetty was built on
that side, the fish run in larger schools

''The only trouble, though, is that
the state may take up the matter, and

number of traps or a neat sum to the
surveyors. These two are matters of

The conversation had lasted until
long after daylight. The husband and
wife were suddenly interrupted by one
of their sons.
"Have you heard the news?" he
asked as he entered hnrriedly, and then
without waiting for reply, he added A.:
