HOW THE BATTERY IS MADE.

and zinc about 11a by 3 inches long, also two pieces of copper wire. Take a wire nail and make hole in the end of each piece of metal by driving it through and then fasten in wire, be ing sure that it is twisted up very tight 70 that it makes good contact with the pieces of metal When this is done place them ill the glass containing the diluted acid. being careful to keep them separated from each other, and your simple battery is now complete. If the wires are now joined together you will see little bubbles form on the metal, and this is all indication that the bat tery Is working, or. in other words, that the electric current is flowing. This Is the most simple form of battery and is not very powerful

 neer Mean.

Two long blasts of the whistle are q signal to throw on the brakes. Two short blasts of the whistle are an answer to the con ductors signal to stop at the next sta tion. Three long blasts of the whistle are signal that the train has parted. Three short blasts of the whistle when the train is standing are signal to be given by passenger trains, when dis playing signafs for following train. to call the attention of trains they meet or pass to the signals. Four long blasts of the whistle are signal to call in the flagman. Four. short blasts of the whistle are the engineman's calls for signals from swltchmen watchmen and trainmen. Two long. followed by two short blasts of the whistle, are signal for approaching road crossings at grade. Five short blasts of the whis- tie are a signal to the fagman to go back and protect the rear of the train. A succession of short blasts of the whistle is an alarm for persons or cat tie on the track and calls the attention of trainmen to danger ahead.

Women Might Copy Men.

In the close copy of man and his ac- Itions the emancipated woman seems to have forgotten one thing-his ready civility to other men in almost all places and almost all times one man is willing and ready to speak to another. While on long journeys men often form pleasant acquaintances and even friendships, but woman invariably draws back her skirts when spoken to by a stranger.
 In a restaurant the other day q tired, haraSSed little woman left the table at which she had been sitting and crossed to another, at which a woman was eat ing her lunch. May I sit here and talk to you while you are eating?" she said timidly. T am going to be late for an engagement. My friends have not come as yet and it makes me so nervous to sit and wait if l can't talk. l spoke to that lady at the table where l was, but she seemed offended
 "Why, bless me" exclaimed the wo- man addressed. moving back q chair by her side. "sit down here and if it is any relief for you to talk to me I'll stay until your friend comes.'
 The grateful smile she received was ample pay for this pretty speech.--Bos- ton Traveller.

Hureau Drawer sachet.

To make a pretty and convenient |sachet for the bureau drawer take ono. half yard of light blue (or pink CT lav. tender, for that matter) silesia and don- Ible it's width. The material is 60 wide that this will make a bag of about PA by IS inches. Turning the material loveF saves the sewing of one of the shorter seams. Within this blue bag put two layers of cotton batting. be tween which is sprinkled the sachet powder.
 Over all place neat little slip made of plain white swiss Make hem of about one inch and sew the slip to- lgether by means of blue featherstitch- ing. If the latter Is done in washable floss or mercerized cotton the slip is strictly practical, for it can be washed time after time.
 When you choose to renew your sa. ichet merely rip one end of your silesfa bag and pull out the cotton batting. Then slip in the new One of the spe- cially recommended features of this sa- -chet bag, which, of course, may be made in any size, is its small cost Moreover the size mentioned here is we'll suited for placing in suit case when one packs up for a short trip.

Stretching Lace Curtains.

In stretching lace curtains on stretcher on the floor always pin on the wide border first and then draw the curtain down and fasten on the outside edge. In stretching this way you allow that part of the curtain-namely, the .- TOW border, where the least sun and dirt strike them, which is the ruin of all curtains = to bear the strain of the stretching. Curtains done up in this way can be used much longer. When curtains begin to show small holes get a very fine net, moisten the curtain slightly after it has been stretched, place the net over the holes and press with q medium hot iron. If done neat ly it will look far better than if sewed together. Of course 1t is always ad- visable to get the net as much like the body of the curtain as possible.

THE FICTION OF
 THE RAILROAD MAP.

It VII be found, we doubt not, that it pays to tell the truth, even in rail- road advertising, and E. H. Hartman has just established a valuable pr O. Gent in this respect for the railroad system which he controls, and he de serves credit for it. It has been the general practice among railroads to print maps of their lines in such a way as to make it appear that they are all "short cuts or air lines, be- tween the great centers connected bv them or through which they pass, which. of course. is generally un' true and often seriously misleadine to the travelling public. MT. Harri man has ordered his passenger de nartments to print hereafter maps of the various Hartman roads show irc the exact course of the rails, what ever it may be- Circles. zigzags ana o,rves are to be represented exactly as thy exist.

 The correspondent adds: "A handsome gray dress skirt belonging to the writ CT had on it d Amear of black railroad grease which did not yield at all to ordinary cleaning. So kerosene was used, the wet spot being afterward covered with fuller's earth and left to dry, but there remained still some of the black stain.

He Isno, almost nothing about the great m, and women who figure prominenyy current history. He could not ey tell the names of the candidates 4 the presidency and the vice presids cy just before the last election. said such things did not interest hi, It is painful to try to carry on conversation with such a man. Thin of the splendid opportunities for ed cation, enjoyment and culture wbi, ! that man, with thousands of othe, is throwing away! It does not sea possible that man could do busine| i'll New York City and be so isnoraj of everything outside of his owuss tie groove.

DOxfnU the Ears.

There are still some intelligent wo- men who after all that has been writ ten on subject insist on boxing chil- dren's ears. Only awhile ago, in this twentieth century, an educated wo- man was seen to give her little nephew of three years q sound box on the ear. Why people should select the ears for this purpose is hard to tell. Al. most any other part of the face or body would be less dangerous. Authorities declare that great deal of deafness so common is directly traced to the sharp boxing on the ears which schoolmas- ters of the past used to indulge in.- New York Tribune.

HERE AND NOW.

Seeing the present darkly is com mon trait of man. Ii existed centu- ries ago, and was indeed more preva- lent then than now The wisdom of the past was immeasurably eXtolled in classic times. The development of history from legend toward science has done much to dispel that rosy dream. Instead of dem gods our rcogenitors become more savage than ourselves, more cruel, further from the botherhood of man. However, though we give less laudation to what has gone before, we often are over censorious of our own place and time. But this is also diminishing in Amer ica. Once part of our population made the eagle yell absurdly in self-pralse, while a minority found the old coun- tries of Europe a heaven in comparl- son. Now we are fairly able to at tack the evils of our country and the present without concluding that the times are bad or that life itself is evil. Europe, for her part, now looks across the ocean as to rising sun, and many wise men over thGre be- lieve that at the pre sent moment the most fortunate place for birth is in the land just bursting into every kind of power. Life everywhere must con- tain evil and pain and it is foolish optimism that reasons them away; but life everywhere may easily be better than oblivion. and full of hap piness and meaning, and it is fool ish pessimism indeed that fails to see in these new and fluid conditions am ple opportunities for the richest liv. ing that mortal beings know.-Col- Hers Weekly.

These bags, which impart to the bed & delicious fragrance. are tied with satin ribbons.
