Hints About Screws.

Where screws are driven INTO SOU
wood and subjected to considerable
strain they are very likely to work
loose. and it is often difficult to make
them hold. In such cases the use or
glue Is profitable. Make the glue thick.
Immerse q stick about half the size or
the screw and put it into the hole.
Then put in the screw and drive IL
home as quickly as possible. When
there is an article Of furniture to be
hastily repaired and no glue Is at hand,
bore hole, insert the stick, fill the rest
Of the cavity with pulverized rosin,
then heat the screw sufficiently to melt
the rosin as it is driven in. where
screws are driven into wood for tenn
porary purposes they can be more
easily removed by dipping them IN oil
before inserting When buying screws,
notice that the heads are small and
well cut, that there are no flaws in the
body or thread part and that they have
gimlet points. A screw Of good make
will drive as easily into oak as others
into pine and will endure having twice
the force brought against it.

Russian Discipline.

General Dragomiroff, the Russian
military expert, rose from the ranks
and always dressed according to the
army regulations for the common SOL
dier. One day while driving about st.
Petersburg in his carriage he noticed
a soldier with hair longer than the reg
ulations called for. He had the horses
stopped, alighted and, taking of his
hat, ordered the soldier to seize him
by the hair. The soldier hesitated. He
feared to lay violent hands on his gen.
eral: besides, the hair was clipped too
close to afford a hold for the hands.
The general surveyed the soldier stern
" for a few moments, then, twinlng
his fingers in the latter's locks, he lit
orally wiped up the street with him,
the victim not daring to resist. Final
", having impressed the lesson thor,
oughly. he re-entered his carriage and
drove on, ordering the soldier to FOL
low. At the first BARRIERS shop they
came to he again alighted and had ev'
cry vestige Of hair shaved from the
soldiers head, then turned him loose
as horrible example to his fellows.

..,.,. - .he oueratic stage.

Accent on the Operhtlc St"ee'
No Englishman with daughters could
do rasher thing than permit them to
take lessons from eminent professors
with view of going on the stage. Inc
opera stage in England scarcely ex-
lists. At Covent Garden a woman VINO
can speak good English can only get
in by force of social influence, ana
abroad foreigner has very great diff
ficulty because she cannot speak OF
sing with a perfect accent. The fof-
eign lady or gentleman comes across
here and on occasion will venture to
sing in English, and their mistakes
bring nothing more than smile to the
faces of the audience. But let an Eng
lish singer go to France or Germany,
and something totally different nap
pens.
In 1897 Tamagno sang at Monte Car
10 before an audience which was MAIN
ly French. He mispronounced WORD,
and peal of derisive laughter covered
even his stentorian notes. In Brussels
l heard an American tenor laughed at
because some Of his vOwels were not
quite pure Brussels, where their
French is the most villainOus patois l
have ever heard. In Germany | have
heard both French and English artists
laughed at because their accent was
not absolutely correct.-London Satur-

A Two Edged Cure.

A story is told of the wonderful cure
from deafness of a patient who was
recommended to hear Wagner opera
and to sit near the orchestra by the
trombones. The physician accompa-
MED his patient and sat beside him.
Suddenly, while the crash of the in
struments was at its lOudest, the dear
man found he could hear. Doctor"
he almost shrieked, Il can hear" Inc
doctor gave no sign that he noticed the
remark. 81 tell you, DOCTOR" repeated
the patient in ecstasy, "you have saved
me! I have recovered my hearing"
Still the physician was silent. He mad

A Hat Story.

A Birmingham (Ala.) man told q
somewhat remarkable hat story the
other day, vouching for its truth by
saving that he was the wearer or one
of the hats. He walked into the din
ing room of an Atlanta hotel one day,
putting his beside the one other on the
hatrack. When he left the dining room
he found that his hat had been taken
and the other one left in its place.
There was nothing to do but take 1t
and be content He came north, ana
Mt hotel the hat swapping perform
ance was again repeated. Some one
took from the dining room hatrack the
one taken by the story teller from the
Atlanta hotel.
A few days later the Atlanta man
recognized at the same hotel the hat he
had lost. He took it, He went south
few days later and stayed at the no.
tel he had occupied on his former WISH.
One day when he entered the dining
room there was only one hat on the
rack. He placed his own beside 1t.
When he left the dining room and
picked up the one hat left he found IL
was the one he had lost there the year
before.-New York Tribune.

Pushinr the Old Folks Aside,

When the babies are cross and man
would like a quiet retreat there Is none
for him. But In few years, when the
children are grown and he is in the
way, the daughters and mother put
their heads together and originate a
den There is no den for the mother be-
cause she gracefully eliminates herself
by sitting in the kitchen or running
over to a neighbours. 1t is her natural
disposition to hide in corner or re-
move herself entirely, and it is not the
natural disposition of the father;
hence the den 1t has a couch and
some pipes and tobacco and the books
which the neighbors haven't got around
to borrowing as yet, though If father
begins a story today the book Will be
found to be loaned out when he wants
TO finish it tomorrow. The den Is a
fashionable way of pushing the OLD
man out. If there is one in your house,

An Impor tant Point on Horses.

One thing a great many pro
ducers of draft horses have yet to
learn is that thew cannot simply
breed heavy horse. People, judg-
ing by their acts, seem to think
that by mating big mare and a
ton stallion they will get a heavy
horse. They overlook the part
inst AS essential as breeding feed
ing. No ton horse ever raised Just

right kind when he was young ana

mate the importance OF feeding III
raising heavy draft horses. VI
course no amount of feed will
make a heavy draft horse unless he
is bred right, neither will the oes.
breeding make one if he is starved
and stunted so that he cannot de-

Jury Subbing.

Mexico has an ingenious plan for IA
cilitating verdicts in jury trials. Two
supernumerary jurors are drawn to
sit near the jury box and listen to the
evidence and arguments. If any of the
regular jury falls i'll or is otherwise
disqualified from going on, one OF the
"supes" takes his place. In this way
they avoid what is often seen in Amer
lean courts "a long trial rendered use
less when 1t is nearly finished by the
