Vest Pocket Paddock,

The vest pocket paddock is not a
lock which is designed to securely
guard the contents of the vest pocket,
but one which may be carried in the
vest pocket and used on a door which
is deficient in some good and reliable
fastening. There are said to be many
instances when such an implement
will serve the owner in good stead.
Travelling men, for instance, are fire.
quently compelled to put w at infe-
rior hotels, where the proper atten-
ton is not given to the details of the
establishment, and the matter Of locks
and similar things, regarded as OF mi
nor import, are overlooked. Then,

in an emergency to put up with a

pose, with doors and windows I'M

Efficient Safety Device.

A safety device for the protection of
persons from the electric current upon
the rupture of a trolley wire has been
invented recently. By the employ
ment of this arrangement the current
is cut off and the wire rendered harm
less. The device is fitted to each sec
ton of the wire and consists of an or
binary connecting ear held in its
proper position by the strain on the
trolley wire. AS soon as this tension
is released, as by the breaking of the
trolley wire, the current is immediate
ly cut off at the broken section with
out any "shorting" sparks whatever.

Every sensible woman naturally wishes
20 appear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is at the basis of her charms,
aud that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has a complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
my complexion would not have
pleased you, if you had seen it two years
ago. It was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me a great deal Of
dissatisfaction. If you want a good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially Of the condition Of
your blood. My health was at that time
completely broken down. I was nervous,
had frequent headaches, a torpid liver
and a great deal of pain in that region.
I suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was in bad condition,
tof pimples broke out all over my face"
eft is hard to realize that, for there
Isn't the slightest trace Of such blem-

wise then, and n long time passed before
I found anything that gave me any re-
lief. I became very weak and lstless.
The doctors medicine did me no good,
and I took a number Of highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.
AS soon. however, as I began to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
complexion cleared up, and after I had
taken two boxes there was not a sign of
a pimple left on my face. My cheeks
became rosy, I gained flesh ard have had
perfect health ever since"
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are

Metallic TANNING Solution.

Increasing scarcity of vegetable
tanning material. concurrent with the
disappearance of forests, has at last
brought forth q process which prom,
Uses to not only place a new tanning
solution in the market but to reduce
the six weeks necessary to the pres
ent operation with bark to a matter
of a few hours. This new process;
which has just been patented in Der.
lin, is based on the employment of
certain. stanEates, or tin salts, which,
It is claimed. rapidly tan hides or
skins and render them thoroughly
waterproof. The hides are depilated
and cleansed as usual, placed in a So
luton of chloride Of sodium for two
to four hours and then rinsed slightly
with water. Next they are placed in
the tanning liquor, which may con-
tain any kind of tin compound from
which collodial oxide can be easily
precipitated by h%ydrolysis, and in two
hours the hides are ready t o be
washed thoroughly, cleansed. and fin
ished as usual. 1t is also claimed the
leather can be colored in fine tints
either simultaneously with tannage or
thereafter.

Improved Screwdriver.

The latest improvement in the way
of a screwdriver provides for a
monkey wrench attachment for use
when powerful pressure must be
brought to bear where it is desired to
remove screws which have become
securely imbedded in their places by
means of rust or other 81 This
new implement is made with a square
shank of rather stout proportions, and
this enables the workman to make
use of a monkey wrench in conjunc-
ton with the screwdriver, and thus
the most firmly imbedded screw may
be easily dislodged.
