MERELY NITRo-CLYcERINE.
Nothing in the Boxes That a Cart
ridge Would Be Likely
to Damage.

An enthusiastic hunter, having lost his
way, wandered helplessly about in an
apparently endless cedar swamp until
dark, when distant light attracted him
to log cabin near new mining loca-
ton. The cabins sole occupant proved
to be a stolid but hospitable Swede, who
obligingly consented to share his sup
per and his bed with the tired and hun
cry stranger, relates Leslie's Monthly.
After a hearty meal the men sat
quietly smoking their pipes beside the
fire. Suddenly they were startled by
the sound Of stealthy footsteps, fol-
lowed by sharp, scratching noises,
which seemed to proceed from the lean
to shed at the rear of the cabin.
Cautiously opening the door, the
Swede held his candle aloft; and the
hunter, who had hastily seized his gun
and loaded for bear, peered eagerly over
his shoulder. The Pickering beams dis
closed fat porcupine, sharply outlined
against background of square pine
boxes, in the act of helping himself to
the Swede's potatoes.
Guess I'll shoot him" whispered the
hunter, swinging his rifle to his shoul-
der. But say, Ole, is there anything
in that stack Of boxes that cartridge
would be likely to damage?"
mo" replied Ole, imperturbably, as
he steadied his candle to aid the hunt

gists,r as a member of the house once
referred to them, have been conducting
experiments and think they have
found a species of the "wood-kid" that
will readily adapt itself to the needs
of the people Of the United States.
The cabritt-bols at home is the
friend of the poor natives, and Secretary
Wilson believes can be domesticated,
and will be of great value to farmers
who have no means of telling the time
at night, and to the people OF the
country generally. With the faint
streaks of dawn the "wood-kid" quits
work and the sleepers are awakened
by the cessation of its droning. The
agricultural department officials guar
antee that the 'wood-kid" will not
harm the smallest child.
A bulletin may shortly be issued by
the department, entitled "Wood-kids
in the Home" giving full directions
for their care, training and mainten.
ance. The officials believe they will
endow a lasting benefaction on the
people OF the United States, and that
as the "wood-kid" becomes better
known by the people 1t will be appre-
ciated to a greater extent than in the
French West Indies.

a big drinking cup or cooking vessel of
some kind that she fingers lovingly and
looks at with eager eyes-the things she
used in her own home over there and
would like to have again. She sets them
out and looks at them and asks the

them back again in their places, shak-

Child-Labor in Germany.

The New German law regulating the
employment of children, which went into
effect at the beginning Of this year, pro-
vides that no child shall work at any
building operations, in any brickyard,
at breaking rocks, sweeping chimneys,
grinding or mixing paint. or in any eel
lars or vaults. Within the meaning of
the law q child is boy or girl less than
13 years old. The law not only regulates
the employment of children In factories,
but in their own homes as well. This
was necessary, as more than 500, 900 chill
dren are working for hire outside Of
factories, whereas only $1,000 are en-
ployed in the factories. The prevalence
of home industries in Germany has
made it necessary to arrange for the in
spection of the homes to discover wheth-
err the children of the family are over
worked or not.

during the wars Of the roses. The hid
den chamber now harbors nothing more
romantic than the family provender. A
secret room, with sleeping apartment,
was constructed over the kitchen OF
Morenton hall, and access to the moat
was feasible down narrow shaft in
the wall. Alas! the secret chamber
has been modernized into store room
for cheese! 1t is a miracle that ro-
nance has any breath left in its
emaciated body The moat was the

carp, pike and perch. From a con-
venient window a line could be dropped

RUSSIAN KITCHEN ANTIQUES
Brass and Copper Utensils Much in
Demand Among New York
Art Collectors.

There is not an old world country left
That has not added its mite to the de-
velopment of the art spirit in the new.
Russia was one of the last tC take its
turn, and the interest in Russian an
tiques has recently been increased by
the war with Japan, says the New York
Tribune It is only few years since
one of New York's Russian colonists
made a trip to his home country and
came back with a small stock of Rus
sian brass and copper utensils gathered
principally from Russian kitchens.
Year after year he has repeated the jour
ney, each time bringing a large stock;
each time finding that the people in Rus
STA were wiser than before. The average
Russian kitchen is place to arouse the
envy of a lover of antiques, for before
his eyes hang in shining rows rare col
lection. Nearly every woman, on the
marriage of her daughter, gives her
complete outfit of kitchen furnishings.
Where people of ampler means have sill
yer and copper those of poorer classes
woman received on her wedding day was
expected to last her as long as she
needed them.
But collectors have been depicting
these Kitchens, and thousands of pieces
are how adjoining library shelves and
dining-rCom racks and parlor mantelsin
America. AS the demand has increased
so the supply has increased, and to-day
the streets of New York's great Russian
quarter are full of shops whose windows
shine with these copper and brass wares.
Some stores claim TO import all their
goods An honest dealer will tell his
customers which are the real antiques
and which are the pieces made now in
factories after the old patterns.
In certain shops in Allen street
the goods are made in considerable
quantities, whether the owner of the
shops will admit it or not. If one goes
prowling into dingy cellars from which
the sound of hammering comes he Will
find the walls hung with all sorts of
hammers and tongs and pincers. Large
sheets of copper and brass lie about, and
heavy shears for cutting them in the
proper patterns Rude furnaces are
built near the long tables, and here the
metal is heated before the hammering
begins. Once heated the metal is NAL
leable. and stroke by stroke it is beaten
into the desired shape. Where several
workmen are at work the noise is like
nothing so much as the music OF a Chi
nese orchestra, but slowly from under
their hands come beautiful vessels, al
ways showing the marks of the hammer,
which give them the peculiar interest
that handwork always has over ma
chine-made things To please buyers
who are merely "faddists" and have no
real art judgment, these brass and cop
per workers have habit Of denting
some of the pieces, a sorry way of giving
palpably brand new piece the sem
blance of having seen service.
It is a common sight in these shops to
see among the well-dressed buyers and
people who come to look and ask prices
some old Russian woman, her head
wrapped in a shawl poking around
among the furnished brass and black
ened copper vessels that leave no doubt
as to their age 1t is always tea-kettle,

A USEFUL KIND OF BUG.
Department of Agriculture Imports
an Insect That Will Displace
Alarm Clocks.

Alarm clocks and sleeping potions
can soon be abolished, for Secretary Will
son, of the department of agriculture,
has imported some cabritt-bois, or
"wood-kids," which will take the place
of both, says Washington report.
The "wood-kid" is little insect hav-
ing a ground plan quite similar to
the katydid, and can be used either
for inducing sleep or to awaken per-
sons in the morning. The wood kid"
can emit more noise to the square inch
than a barrel of katydids, but the
sounds produced by it lull to sleep
all who listen. 1t is delicate, and lives
in the French West Indies, where 1t Is
esteemed a useful bug.

SUCCESS, and whatever lessons this force.
or the effectiveness of your achievement
capital, will cut down your usefulness
in life and your chances Of success.
Achievement does not depend so much
upon the size of the deposits you have
in the bank as upon the amount of capt.
tai you have in yourself, the effective
ness with which you can use it, and the
power you can bring to your vocation.
A man who is weakened by Ill health,
or who has Slapped his energy by Excess
sive use Of tobacco or alcohol, or in any
other way, has small chance for success
when pitted against one who Is sound
and vigorous In every organ and fac
ulty.
Nature is not sentimental or merciful.
II you violate her law, you must pay
the penalty, though you sit on a throne;
king or beggar is all the same with her.
You cannot plead weakness or handicap
as an excuse for failure. She demands
that you be ever at the top of your con-
dition, that you always do your best
and will accept no excuse or apology
A weakness anywhere mars ones
whole career. 1t will rise up as ghost
all through ones lifework. notifying,
condemning and convicting one of past
error. Every indiscretion or vicious in
diligence simply opens leak which
drains off success capital.
OF what use is great success capital,
Of mental and physical equipment, X
you are not wise enough to manage
It to the best advantage, and to make
II last until your success is assured?
It is sad to see a young man try to
win high place with a broken-down
constitution, or with his faculties half
trained, and his success army complete
ly demoralized his prospects ruined by
a shattered physique. The saddest
thing of all is that wise living might
have made fulfllment Of ambition pos
sible, and enriched the world with a
noble, well-rounded life.
The great problem, then, which every
one has to face, is how to generate en-
ergy, how to conserve it, and how to
keep oneself always at the top of his
condition.
