A CLOCK OF BREAD

There exists at Milan, Italy, clock

the most wonderful in the world This

About hundred years ago an Ital.
ian workman wished to try his hand
at making a clock, but had not the
means to buy the metal necessary for
the construction of the works, and
was at loss what to do.
Determined not to be beaten, he
conceived the ingenious idea of saving
his bread crumbs from day to day
and solidifying them with the aid of
strong salts.
At length by these means he man.

Use for Walls of Seoul.

The wall which runs around Seoul
serves no useful purpose whatever;
in fact, by restricting traffic between
the city and suburbs to few narrow
gates. 1t is a great nuisance. There
are enough stones in the wall to re-
construct the greater part Of the
drainage in the city. and with little

building sites and the money obtained
from them would go a long way to-

Ten. Commandments for Summer
Boarders.
1. Don't expect too much. Paradise
never takes in summer boarders.
2. Don't encourage sudden friend
ships. Sudden friends make gradual
enemies.
3. Don't attempt to take with you
everything you would have at home.
There is no sense in spending half
your time taking care of things you
don't need, says the Philadelphia
Press"
4. Be moral monkey" don't see,
don't hear and don't talk of the per-
sonal affairs of others.
5. Don't have elaborate clothes
made especially for the summer outing
fine feathers don't necessarily make
fine birds.
6. Don't refer to the refinement or
luxury of your own home. To do SO
is to condemn yourself at once.
Z. Don't feel that because nobody
knows YOU it doesn't matter what
you do. That's the very reason you
should be careful.
s. Don't allow every one who knows
you to expect you to write to them,
Take long walks and let your lungs
expand-don't cramp them by leaning
over your writing table when you
should be in the fresh air.
9. If you can play or sing or help
to entertain the other guests, do SO
ungrudgingly. He gives twice who
gives quickly"
10. Be punctual at meals, kindly
and considerable toward those who
serve you. Don't make your vacation
their hardest time. Don't believe that
lavish tips will make up for selfish
ness or rudeness.
In every way try to make your
visit pleasant memory both for
those with whom you stay and for
yourself.

HOW TO KEEP BOYS AT HOME EVENINGS.

ing the town with a water sys-

We have been requested to
again call the attention of the
farmers on Camas Prairie to the
necessity of exterminating the
wild mustard plant before it tax
es the entire country. This weed
is one of the hardest known to
get rid of and is getting a good
foothold here. Many fields have
small patches of it in them now
and quite a few fields of grain
were plowed up before harvest
this year in an attempt to kill
out the weed which had choked
out the growing grain. Fields
where the weed is just starting
can be cleaned by pulling it out
when in bloom but where it is
pretty thick the land can only
be cleaned by constant cultiva-
ton and summerfallowing. We
should advise all to leave moth
ing undone to rid their land of
this pest or in a short time it
will have such a start nothing
can be done to kill it out.
