Day or Niqht?

Unquestionably it would be an eX-
cellent thing did we confine our pleas
ures to the day and the early hours of
the evening, retiring early, arising
early, and doing our work with the
strength and willingness such life
would give. We might eat less and
pay more attention to food values
without, decreasing the pleasure of
consuming our meals. The food is
only feature of it, the linen, china,
and other accessories, and the room
itself having a great deal to do with
the meal, in the minds of refined peo-
pie. The time will come when fashion
will upset the accepted routine of the
day and put back dinner to the hour
OF our grandmothers' day. Fads have
a way of intruding, and idle, restless
people welcome changes. If health
becomes the fad of all. sacrifices of
every kind will be made in it's name,
and just now it occupies a good part
of our thoughts. We are eating more
cereals than meat and cultivating veg
,etables the year round, with no regard
to season. Some day big trust will
perhaps step in and put them out of
our reach; but there will be Yankee
ingenuity to reckon with, and substi-
tutes will be found, never fear.

Take 1t In instruments.

> William H. Crane, the actor, tells of
an amusing incident that occurred in
course of performance by company
with which the comedian was con-
nected at one time. Crane had been
understanding for the leading man,
and it became his duty at a critical
time to lift up the fainting heroine
and convey her to the wings.
At the time mentioned Mr.. Crane
was slight and anything but strong
so that the task assigned was ex
tremely difficult, when it is considered
that the leading woman weighed
yearly 200 pounds.
After sundry attempts to accomplish
the business" assigned him, with lit
tie hope of its accomplishment, the
strain was broken by the hearty
laughter of the audience, for a strong
shrill voice from the gallery had
shouted:
For heavens sake, man, take what
you can and come back for the rest!'

Automobile Boom.

In the middle of January, 1905, an
automobile demand, which had been
foreseen by careful students of ;ondi-
tons, arrived fairly in New York, and
was recognized and given a cordial
greeting.
This demand can be expressed in
terms of facts and figures. One COM
pany had 1000 cars on hand ready for
delivery. The factory, increased %
per cent in capacity last year, is run
ming day and night. The agents re-
ports point to orders in excess of sup
ply by Avg. 1.

EFFECTS OF THE TYPEWRITER
It's Use Has Given Impetus to the Die.
tating Habit

It's Use Has Given Impetus to the Die.
Eating Habit.
The invention of the typewriter has
given a tremendous impetus to the
dirtssing habit, especially among bust
ness men, says the Atlantic Monthly.
The more ephemeral literary produc-
tons of the day are dictated, some
times to a stenographer for transcript
ton, and often directly to the ma
chine. In either case the literary eff
fects of the dictation habit are too
manifest to need elaboration. The
standards of spoken language, which
in the days of the past stood out in
marked contrast with the terseness
and precision of written composition.
giving rise to the saying that no good
speech ever read well, have crossed
7ver to the printed page.
This means not only greater diff
| fuseness, inevitable with any lessen
| ing of the tax on words which the la
Dor of the writing imposes. but it also
brings forward the point of view OF
one who speaks. There is the dispo
sition on the part of the talker to ex
plain as if watching the facial expires
sion of his hearers to see how fal
they were following.
| This attitude is not lost when hi:
audience becomes merely a clicking
| typewriter. It is no uncommon thins
in the typewriting booths at the cap
itol in Washington to see congress
men, in debating letters, use the mos
vigorous gestures, as if the oratorica
methods of persuasion could be trans
mitted to the printed page.

DANGER IN GLASS ETCHING.
Deadly Liquid Used by Workers ir
This Form of Art.

Deadly Liquid Used by Workers IN
This Form of Art.
A solid gold bottle stood on the
chemists table.
"In that bottle" he said, "my hydro,
fluoric acid is kept. Hydrofluoric
acid is used in glass etching. The
etching on glass thermometers is all
done with it. 1t is colorless. It looks
like water.
"But a drop of it on your hand
would bore clean through to the other
side like a bullet. It's inhalation is
sure death.
"Hydrofiuoric acid can be kept safe
ly in gold bottles alone. Sometimes
bottles of india rubber, of lead, or of
platinum are used. None of these
though, is as safe as gold.
Even when this acid is in a colo
bottle, precautions must be taken with
it. It is volatile, and hence paraffine
covered plate must be clamped tight
over the bottles mouth. Also, the
temperature of the room must not
rise over 60 degrees, or the gold bolt
tie will burst.
"This acid, whose sole use is IL
glass etching, is probably the mos
dangerous thing in the world to worl
with. The steeple-jack, the lioI
tanner, the diver, even the Japanese
| and Russian soldier, do not take theil
| lives in their hands to half the extern
the glass etcher does when, with hi
gold vial of hydrofluoric acid HI
etches the scales on our. thermome
tiers" -Philodelphi Bulletin.
