Here is an excellent method of re- moving grease spots from a waxed floor. Pour spirits of turpentine on the spot and give it time to soak into the wood. Then cover with powdered tale and press with a warm but not very hot iron. The tale will absorb the grease. Brush off and polish the place anew with way.

Little Jack by the seaside stands. Watching the setting sun. He runs to the beach at eventide. For his day of play is done. His ia ther has gone to the China seas For cruise of a year and more, And little Jack IS left behind On the edge of Long Island shore. He kisses his hand as the sun sinks down And murmurs a message low, "When you shine on father tomorrow

 Just tell him Jack says Hello '' Supper is ready" the black nurse calls. Jack answers: T can't come, Dinah. The sun has a message to give to dad. I'll wait till he gets to China"

It is said that a dog trots sidewise so that his hind feet will not strike his fore feet. That seems to be reasona- ble explanation, for if he be harnesse1 to a small wagon, between shafts, so that he cannot turn his body to one side, his feet will often come into col lision. When he trots sidewise, how ever, one hind foot goes between the fore feet and the other outside.

valuable Zones ot silence.

There has come into modern life
greater variety of sound and greater
volume than assailed the ears of our
ancestors. To keep ones freshness
there ought to be zone of silence
around every human being during
some part of every day.
The finest creative work is done as a
rule, in seclusion; not necessarily apart
from men, nor in solitary places, but
away from the tumult and away from
distracting sounds.
There was organized in Paris, years
ago, a society for the cultur of silence.
On the occasion of the initiation of a
distinguished man of letters, bowl of
water was brought out to him IN Il
room where ho was waiting in solitude.
He studied 1t moment, placed rose
upon it and sent it back. The water
bore the rose without oyerhowing.
To the members assembled in anoth-
er room the act was the most convinc-
ing evidence that the initiate compre-
hended the purpose of the fellowship,
and was prepared In spirit to become
one of the company. The act was a
symbol which Americans may wisely
study.--Good Health.

Old things come back to us. The
papyrus Of the Egyptians has certainly
been considered an article of the long
past but now ''it bobs up serenely."
In Sicily this plant grows somewhere
in the vicinity of Syracuse, and for
over 100 years one family has worked
it into regular papyrus according to the
directions of Pllnius in the thirteenth
book of his natural history, and they
have sold it to tourists, and now have
1t generally painted postcard wise with
views of Syracuse. They gather about
400 plants and manufacture 200 sheets
Of papyrus annually.
Now the Italian Government pro-
poses to start plantation and use the
product to print paper money on, be-
cause that could not be counterfeited.

Sir Henry Irving once said: "What
IS the good of lawyers treating an
honest and sensitive witness on the
wtness-stand as though he were
sneak thief? A young man in my
company was witness in a case of
robbery. He had seen a thief snatch
young girls pocket-book and make
off. Well, the thiefs lawyer cross
examined my young friend shamefully.
He roared at him, shook his fist at
him, raved at him. And at what
hour did all this happen| the lawyer
sneering, asked toward the end of his
examination. L think my friend
began, but he was at once interrupted.
we don't care anything, here about
what you thinkp said the lawyer, with
a sort of contempt. Don't you want
to hear what l Think said my young
friend, mildly. Certainly not the
lawyer roared. Then, said my friend,
1 may as well step down from the
box. I'm not a lawyer, l can't talk

The Government have decided TO
suspend the use of the birch in the
navy, directing that report be made
to them on the effect Of the suspension
Mt the end of a year. This is matter
for naval men rather than for politi-
clans. Opinion among experts is GER
tainly divided on the question. There
are able men who are strongly in favor
,f the abolition Of corporal punishment,
out the prevailing opinion among naval
officers is the other way. Is the birch
the best deterrent? That is the ques-
ton. We have no sympathy with the
sentimental view of the matter. Abb
horrcnce of methods of force is tradi-
llonal Liberal doctrine, and one for
which we have always had unmixed
contempt. Refinement may become a
morbid process, and no nation infected

state Roads.
TT HIS State needs better roads.
The people are becoming con-
i scious of the fact, and begin
ming has been made. The State
has undertaken to meet large part
OF the cost of roads which the town
ships feel the need of sufficiently to
pay part of the expense. But this
plan assumes that the local commune
ties will take the initiative. Something
more than that is needed.
1t would give a tremendous impetus
to the good roads movement il the
State would take the initiative in max
ing some highways of general import
ance. 1t has plenty of money, and no
better use for some of it could be sug-
gested than road making. No other
expenditure would diffuse its benefits
more generally through the community.
The farmers would be especially ben.
Gifted by road improvements that
would enable them to haul heavier
loads to the railway stations with less
wear and tear upon their horses and
wagons. The urban population would
be greatly benefited by anything that
would facilitate comfortable access to
the country.
1t is now proposed to ask the Legis-
lature for an appropriation of three or
three and a half million dollars 20
make a first-class highway connecting
the two great cities at the extremeties
of the State. The highway would pass
/ through fourteen counties and eleven
large towns. Its benefits would be
fairly distributed between the rural
and the urban population. Counties
and towns along the route would be
moved to construct branch roads con-
, Meeting with this main artery. Moth
/ ing else would do so much to popu-
| lalize good roads and to incite the local
communities to mend their highways
as the object lesson of a State high
! way. The enterprise deserves hearty
encouragement. This State. eminent
| for agriculture, manufacturing and
mineral resources, ought tG have Il
complete system of excellent highways,
| and if the State will take the lead the
| counties and towns will follow. and in
few years Pennsylvania will have
roads that will excite the envy Of other
: States.-Philadelph Record.
