These blocks should never be more than two to three inches in length and must be carefully dressed Up in long strips % that the sides ara al right angles to each other after which they are cut to the lengths re qured. The method of using them is as follows: First try the block in the angle in which it is 10 Le glued, and II il fits snuely brush glue on two Of it's sides. then lay it in place. and while pressing i, firmly. rub it vigorously back and forward longthwise SO as to rub out all superfluous glue. and 10 bring the surfaces as closely together as possi- be.

Institutions ef Learning.

To-day. in the United States. two radically different plans for the support and conduct of higher institutions Of learning are in process of development. the one that Of the private university. the other the university supported and controlled by the state The first finds its notable examples mainly amongst the older universities of the east. the second in the universities of the central and western states. writes Henry $. Pritchett. in Atlantic. While these last are younger. their growth has been rapid. not only in the number of their ties and in income A table which fol- lows. contains in condensed form eer- tain data concerning these two groups of universities which are suggestive. and which show how nearly comparable SO far as material considerations meas ure equality these two groups of insti- tutions have become The comparison shows that in the six older universities Of the eastern states ,93S teachers are dealing with 18.49S students. at an an nual cost of little more than 5000 GOO, while in the six western state uni versailles a somewhat smaller number Of teachers is dealing with student body larger by 2000 al a cost of little more than s4.o00.000. The first student group includes but few women. the second . considerable proportion of women IL number of instructors. in number Of stu dents, and in amount of annual income the second group is rapidly gaining OH the first.

 A better plan is to let each strip extend out Cne-quarter inch beyond the side as shown in Fig. l2i. and use two screws through each end of the strip into the edge of the side. For strips of five-six- teenths or three-eighths-ineh in thick ness three-quarter-ineh No. screws, eountersunk flush with the surface. should be used
 In Fig. 126. at C. the dimensions and form of the upper back strip is shown. and at D the size and pattern for the front base This front base piece should not be flush tor even) with the front edge of the lower shelf. but must sit in Cor tack1 about three-thirty- seconds 0; an inch. as shown in the drawing Zig 124l After connecting the sides to the shelves. all back strips, or shelf ledges. are screwed on. after which this front base is carefully fitted and glued to the under side of the shelf.

Habit in Annetite

The so-called cravings of appetite are purely the result of habit hab- 1t once acquired and consistently fol lowed soon has us in its grasp. and then any deviation therefrom temper arily disiurbs our physiological equi lbrium. The system makes complaint and We experience craving, il may be for that to which the body mas be come accustomed even though this something be, in the long run. dis tinetly injurious to the welfare of the body There has thus come about says writer in Century. a sentiment that the cravings of the appetite for food are 10 be fully satisfied, that this is merely obedience to natures laws. This i5ea, however, is fundamen ally wrong Anyone with little persist ence can change his or her habits of life, change the whole order of cray ings. thus demonstrating that the lat ter are purely artificial and that they have no necessary connection with the welfare or needs of the body. In other words. dietetic requirements arc to be founded not upon so-called instinct and craving. but upon reason and in- telligence.

Aerial Eayipation

According 10 the most up-to-date and successful aeronaut of the century, A Roy Knabenshue, all hope of success Fully navigating the air in a practical and useful way may as well be aban- daned. Speaking from experience. he said: Il am ready to state positively that the airship in general never will be a success. l believe it is now at the height Of it's achievement After telling of certain requisites and what he had accomplished he went on to state the reasons for his conclusion. The first is: Above 15 miles an hour the pitch is so great that one cannot ride. There is TO way to con lrol this. as we cannot make vac uum of the currents we meet above the lower levels. The second reason lies in the weight l have built this as light as ii can be done and still be pro pelfed. 1 am tired of all this twaddle about aerial navigation. I know that 1t has no future from my own experi- snce. Dreamers have tried for ages to make something of their theories, but all have failed and will fail l am about to give up the profession and buy a farm" This is good sense. but others will continue to dream and fail.

ST. PETERSBURG RASTIlEs

An Englishman writes in the St. James Budget of St Petersburg prs. ons: Yet more horrible than the fate of the workers murdered in the streets of St. Petersburg is the doom of those hapless men whom the tender mereies of the triumphant bureaucracy have con. signed to the dark fortress of St Peter and St. Paul, and the inferno of the Schlusselburg in Lake Ladoga We'll may the inhabitants of St Petersburg shudder as they glance beyond the NeWa at the dark fortress whence, each hour the north wind brings across the river the discordant sound of its melancholy bells. Melancholy indeed, for nothing but memories Of suffering and oppres- sion sit upon it's granite walls. Here Peter l. tortured and mutilated his enc. mics Here he slew his own son, Alexis, and to this dungeon, during the reignsof the expresses. omnlpotent favorites consigned aspiring rivals. And since then whole generations of men and women for no other crime than love of their oppressed country have entered these gates often to leave them 20 more

Do not hypnotize yourself with the idea that you are being kept down. Do not talk such nonsense, advises Success Magazine Nobody of any sense would believe it. People will only laugh al you. Only one thing is keeping you down and that is your self. There is probably some trouble somewhere with you. Of course, there are employers who are unjust to their help; there are instances in which em- ployes are kept back when they should be advanced. but they usually find their level somewhere.
