Power of Examnle-

No man is 81 insignificant as to be
sure his example can do no hurt.
Every one of us is watched uncon-
sciously by some pair OF eyes and no
action goes absolutely unnoticed,
though we may think so. To set
some kind of an example is the doom
and the pr~ivilege-of every human
being.-Detroit Free Press.

NEWS FROM MISSOURI ;
A Woman Footpnd Arrested.

A woman footpad made her initial
appearance at Columbia and ''held up
an able bodied man nearly twice her
weight and much her superior in
physical ability. As William Arnott.
a well known Columbia citizen, was
passing along a lonely avenue a wom-
an sprang upon him from behind Q
fence. With one arm she held both
his arms against his body with such
a grasp that he could not release
himself; with the other the woman
reached inside his vest pocket and
took $50 in cash and checks amount
ing to $50. ArnOtt called for help and
the police responded. After a lively
chase the woman was captured. She
gave her name as Dora Herndon.

Strength of a Hair.

A German experimentalist has
proved that a single hair will sus-
pend four ounce without breaking,
stretching under the process, and con
tracing again. But the hair thus
heavily weighted must be dark brown,
for blonde hair breaks down under
two and one-half ounces

paper will give the necessary finish to
the surface, provided the plane is sharp
and If, when the surface Is nearly com
pleted, it is set so as to cut only very
thin shavings. II Quartered oak or
other hard wood is used the grain Is
often torn out and roughened by the
plane, owing to the c~ross-grained and
curly character Of nearly all these
woods. This crossing and interlocking
Of the fibers adds greatly to the beauty
as we'll as to the value of the wood for
furniture or decorative purposes.
When planning such woods the planning
bit must be kept very sharp much
sharper than for softer woods-and the
cap iron must be set down to within n

the gnarled ibers and prevent them
from tearing u below the surface be-
ing planed. But even with this precau-
ton the plane will tear and slightly
roughen up all the fibers which lie at an
angle, contrary to the direction In
which the plane is moving.
Take careful notice of the fact that
no amount Of s~andpapering will ever
smooth a torn surface, and before using
1t a finer cutting tool is necessary-the
cabinet scraper. This tool is made of
thin saw-plate steel and should be about
4 to 5 inches long and 8 to 81 inches
wide.
To sharpen the scraper, the two long
edges are first filed fiat and square, or
at right angles to the sides. This is best
accomplished by placing the scraper
edge up in the bench wise, and, while
holding the file s%quarely across the
scraper push and draw 1t steadily side.

motion will produce a drawing Gu,
which will give a very smooth squars
edge. After filing the edge true and
