POSSESSION OF THE POLE.
Uncertainty Of the Location of the
Extremities of the Terres-
trial Axis.

Avaricious folk are occasionally &C
cused OF a desire 10 acquire the earth,
while some Others would cheerfully give
all the remainder of the globe for the
possession OF that intangible thing. an
extremity OF its imaginary axis-the
northern one preferred. tits so common
TO speak OF this as 1.-The pole" says the
Philadelphia Ledger, that we practically
ignore the southern extremity. and
sometimes forget that every whirling
celestial body must perforce have two
poles. 10 is similarly so with reference
TO the ceiestian poles, which are simply
the points in space toward which the
terrestrial poles are directed and which.
OF course. bear not the slightest physical
relation 10 our globe. These sky points
are perpetually shifting at a very slow
but uniform rate. because the sun and

Treating Red Noses.

In treating red noses a Paris physi-
clan uses an instrument resembling a
very large tooth brush, but having 40
platinm wires instead of bristles. This
instrument Is as heavy as an ordinary
household hammer. It is connected
with an electrical machine, and IS then
used in hammering the troublesome
nose rather sharply for several min
utes. or until bleeding is produced.
II Is claimed that two hammerings a
week for some months will tone down

bowels should always be used for con-
Meeting the legs Of small tables TO the
rails, especially when the legs are so
slender that they would be seriously
weakened by having rail mortises cut
into the upper end on two sides OF the
leg.
Dowel joints are used almost ex-
ciusively for chairs and in the frames OF
upholstered furniture OF every kind, as
illustrated in Fig. Ill. In such work the
legs are comparatively small and the
rails narrow. so that two opposing NOR
tses would weaken the leg to such an
extent as TO render the joint insecure.
The dowel joint is further illustrated al

using three screws in each shelf end in
stead of two. as shown in the drawing.
Another method Of connecting the
sides 10 the shelves is by means of
bowels, as illustrated IN Fig. 116. The
bowels should be five-sixteenths inch in
diameter and the holes in the ends of
the shelves may be one inch deep. but in
the sides If fve-eighths inch in thick
ness) they can be only three-eighths inch
deep. -Four or FIVE bowels should be used
in each shelf end. and il the bowels fit
properly will make a much stronger
connection than the common method of
growing out the sides and then fitting
and gluing the end OF the shelf into the
groove.

Japan Drinks Tea.

Japan, with practically the same
poor laws as Great Britain. has only
$4,000 paupers. while Great Britain has
a hundred thousand. A Japanese
statesman. being asked TO explain this
difference in results, replied: The
japanese drink tea; the British drink
alcohol" IN the contest betweeen ia
pan and Russia no little importance
can be attached to the significant fact
that the Japanese soldiers are total
&bstainsrs. while the Russians drink
alcoholic stimuiants even to excess.

and the position in which the bit is held
must be corrected before boring another
To enable the beginner to bore cor
rectly and at right angles to the surface
considerable practice will be necessary.
This practice may be acquired by placing
a piece of waste board in the bench wise
and boring one hole after another
changing the position of the brace and
bit until the marking OF the depth gauge
on the surface indicates that the brace is
held correctly. Then change the position
of the piece and practice boring dowei
holes into the end OF the board until sat
isfactory results are obtained. To use
brace and bit correctly especially
when boring for bowels. will require the

as for the back saw. the plane or any
