reason for this is that everything in

To name the first ten, he said, would
be still more difficult, as that would
put a larger number of great institu-

were to do so it would be almost i'm
possible for him to add any five to the
first list mentioned that did not include
the state universities of Illinois, Ne

@ THE
How to Apply Enamel.

AtAr
Nearly all articles of furniture may
be renewed and beautified by the ap-
plication of enamel. 1t dries quickly.
II applied in the morning the article
will be dry by night. 1t gives a fine
gloss and is sanitary and easily cleaned.
When enameling a room new wood
should first be painted with inside
white or white lead reduced with tur-
pentine. which somewhat lessons the
cost. When this is hard and dry apply
one coat of enamel. A second coat ap-
piled after the first has become hard
and dry will produce a fine finish.
Woodwork previously painted should
first be washed with soap and water.
using Il little soda. borax OF, ammonia
to soften the water. Then apply one or
two coats of enamel.
A calcfmined wall should be washed
OF scraped off. An old wall that is sim
ply soiled in spots should be we'll
cleansed and the spots washed with
soda and water to remove grease. Then
apply with Il thin coat of size made by
dissolving a little good glue in boiling
water. 1t is best to apply the size while
it is warm. DO not leave spots unsized,
as If you do the paint will not dry
evenly. Then apply n or two coats Of
white inside paint. When this is dry APP
ply the enamel. On small articles previ-
u painting will not be necessary.

meets. but a high wind tide raises it
something like three and a half feet.
New Orleans front levees are therefore
built to withstand a wall of water

guarding the city at its back are made
to resist a three and a half foot tide.

down a hill,
For then within my mt awakes a
OF a time pack in the winter of the past,
SO long ago.
When us fellows used to watch and wish
for the first sign Of snow.
And when at last a morning came with
ground all covered white
Prom a ripping, roaring blizzard that had
struck us in the night.
Then the tinkling OF the sleigh bells sent
one bounding out of bed

II you were once a boy yourself, thst get

No doubt you'll fully understand what
"~belly-bumpo' means.
You take hold Of the sled rope and just
give a sort Of hop:
Then down upon your racer you throw
And as for the ~position-well, of course a
boy don't mind
A-lying on his stomach with his heels
stuck out behind.
But should you swerve out from the ruts
and strike al icy hump

And often when the sport was done and I
went home at night.

And with the evening ended sneak away
off to my bed.
The thought Of that days sliding would
go humping through my head,
So that in my sleep I used to sometimes
whoop a bit and shout,
Which brought my mother up to see what
1t was all about.
And then in explanation I have rubbed
my eyes and said.

While probably guilty of an offense
under the statutory laws, the Kansas
woman who put her Ratchet to a
carrienation use upon beholding the
alleged piceure of the battle of the
Little Big Horn, for the production
of which a st. Louis brewing firm is
responsible, did both art and history
a service, although she may not have
known it. A worse daub than that
picture could not well be imagined,
if the copies sent out by the brewery
are to be relied upon as being fairly
accurate, and they supposedly are.
