A Simple Experiment.

Cut two slips OF paper long enough
for each to enciIcle the outside OF a
bottle, leaving an uncovered space
between the slips Fasten them In
place by a thread, and then wrap a
piece OF Irvine around the uncovered
glass between the strips.
Tie one end OF the Irvine to a rail
or some convenient hoo k. Hold the
other end with one hand, and with
the cth,r move the bottle quickly
back ward and forward. This is done
In order that the Irvine may run up
on the-exposed glass between the pa
per bands This action will shortly
cause the surface of the glass to heat.
After It Is well heated d:op some cold
water on it. Now, by a sharp stop,
YOU may break the bottle In halt Sc
evenly that there will not be one
legged place in the entire circle OF the
break
But of what use Is this bit OF APP
parently superiiuous knowledge?

cord around the neck, get some one
TO pull one end taut, take hold of the
other end yourself and work the
neck mildly to and fro 10 the string,
just as you did In the first expert
ment. This continued friction will
cause the neck of the bottleto become
so hot that 1t will expand, and the
glass stopper will be loosened enough
TO allow 1t to be pulled out without
further trouble.

pire-despite of all that the secret po-
lice could do In REFRESHING unfavora-

known that all was going wrong In
the Crimea. News came of reverse
after reverse, of the defeats of the
Alma and Ipkerman, and as climax
the loss of Sebastopol and the destruc-

In the midst OF 1t all, as Is ever the
case In Russian wars, came utter COL

everywhere one heard hints and final

to have been appropriated to army
supplies, but which had been ex-
pended at the gambling tables of
Homburg or In the Bre6a quarter of
Paris.
Then 1t was that there was borne
upon me the conviction that Russia,
powerful as she seems when viewed
from the outside, Is anything but
strong when viewed from the inside.
To say nothing of the thousand evil
dent weaknt sses resulting from auto

there seemed to be no force on which

her In ninety nine per cent. of these
cases IL is the womanly organism which
requires attention; the weak back, dizzy

Mr.. Bachelors arms received the

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty Of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS EmulSioniS themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive StomachS.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

committee on text books, Of which ] am
member, expects to propose series Of
books which are thoroughly up to date,
approved by both the state and county
superintendents, and one that we feel Is
best adapted to the conditions OF the
county, without being any more expen-
sive than the books now in use.
This agitation is not in any way "put

ization on the part OF the ter GERS and
those posted on the school inairs OF the
county Of a much needed reform, and it
is sincerely hoped by the committee that
no one will oppose the proposed changes
without first giving the matter careful
consideration, for we are all Interested in
the welfare of our boys and girls and
much Of that depends upon the advan-
tages offered them in our schools.
