A capital cement for broken china
and bric-a-brac that can be made at
home is obtained by mixing half an
ounce Of gum arabic with half tea
spoonful of boiling milk and adding
enough plaster of paris to produce a
creamy paste. To use successfully
have the pieces that are to be mend
ed warm and apply the cement warm
with a small brush. Objects repaired
with this cement have to be set
aside for a week before they can be
used, but after that they can be
washed in either warm or cold wa
ter with safety. Soaking they will

Why les "the Tramp"

Among the geysers of the Yellow
stone region is one which among
the guides goes by the name of "the
Tramp"
"How did it come by that name ?"
inquired a tourist.
"Cause it don't like soap any bet
ter than tramps are supposed to do"
replied the guide. Gust offer it a
cake"
This the visitor proceeded to do,
relates the Youths Companion,
with the result that violent agitation
occurred. This action upon receiv-
ing a cake of soap into the crater is
a popularity of some geysers.

Remedy For Grip.

A remedy for grip that is proving
very eficacious in numerous in
stances is this: Put into a cup of
hot water cayenne pepper the size of
a marrowfat pea, a teaspoonful of
sugar and scant tablespoonful of
grain alcohol. Beware of the wood
alcohol, which is rank poison. Stir
together and take steaming hot just
before going to bed. If grip is only
threatened and not actually present,
teaspoonful of alcohol will suffice.

A Queer optioaI Illusion.

See if there is the same optical
illusion in your case as in Polly
Evans case, boys and girls:
Ea--- xXXXXXX
lss.- SSSSSSSSSS
If vou look at an S or an x right
way up you will at once say that
there is no difference in size between
the upper and the lower halves, but
just turn them upside down, and
the disproportion is very noticeable.
1t is the same with the figures 8 and
S. The top half is apparently ex-
actly similar TO the bottom half re-
versed, but it is only necessary to
turn this paper wrong way up to dis
pei the illusion. The eye seems to
exaggerate the top half of these let
tiers and figures in some most mys-
terious way, as may be easily proved.
For if you make an Y with the top
half an exact counterpart of the
lower half the letter win appear top
heavy.

Many travellers in China ask
"Where are the children? The only
little people we see are the beggars'
children" The reason for the ap-
parent scarcity of little almond eyed
Celestials in China, explains St.
Nicholas, is that all the children
who have parents are kept indoors
OF within walled gardens. However,
on New Years day, which is cele-
brated there in February, all the tots
are decked out in their best clothes
and go for a walk or to the theater
with their parents.

BIG HOSPITAL
TO Be BUILT
of Fund Left by the
Late Catherine GarcelOn
Get Leave to Go Ahead
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, Jan. 80.
Permission was granted to-day by
Judge S. p. Hall to the trustees of the
Samuel Merritt Hospital fund to
begin work on the big enter
prise provided for by the will Of
the late Catherine Garcelon, who be-
queathed property worth $750,000 for
the erection of a free hospital for in
curables: Owing to complications and
the fact that much of the property left
by the deceased is real estate not read
lily disposed of, the project for which
the means were left has been delayed
since 1891.
In a showing made before the court
this morning Trustees DR.. Peter L.
Wheeler, DR.. A. ]. Russell and William
B. Bosley said that these difficulties in
the way of beginning the great work
would not be removed in many years,
as much of the realty was valuable as
residence property only, and would
have. 70 await customers in order to
get it's market value. They therefore
believe it was expedient to begin the
work by the erection of one ward to be
followed by three others as the money
comes In.
BY the provision Of the will the trus-
tees must keep $500 on hand as a
perpetual fund for the maintena -e of
the hospital. They now have money
and property to the value of over $780,
900 and purpose to expend nearly $780,
600 in beginning the buildings, which,
1t is calculated, will cost $3.50, 900 when
complete. There was no opposition to
the petition of the trustees, the State
being represented by Deputy ATTORNEY
General r. C. Van Fleet, and the for
NAL order was made forthwith. 1t is
stated that by early spring active work
in the erection of the first buildings
will be under way
