should not have, in his dark rooIc,
the means of obtaining a stream of
running water. The only things re-
quired for this purpose are a large
tin can. such as honey or sirup can,
which holds about two or three gal
Ions, and small water tap. If one
does not happen to be handy with the
soldering iron, it will cost very little
to have tinsmith cut hole in the
tap near the bottom of the can and
solder in the tap. When this has
been done, place the tin on a shelf or
box little above the developing tablu

at any time, and the water allowed
to run on the plates or films.
There is another method for OBJ
tanning running water, says the Mon

the last. If the requisites for making

is needed in this case is a piece of

RESENTED EVEN WISE ADVICE.
Legend illustrating Superstition Of
Russian Peasant.

An almost superstitious value is at
tached to the possession of land by
the poor Russian peasant. There is
a parallel in the old eastern story of
Nasr Eddin Hodga. He met a peas
ant one day with a donkey, over
whose back hung two sacks, one filled
with stones. the other with wheat,
the stones having been added to bal
ance the wheat. why not divide the
wheat into two parts instead?" Sug-
gested Nasr Eddin Hodga Delighted
with the idea, the peasant did as he
was advised, and hung the two sacks
of wheat over the donkey's back.
And where are your lands, o wise
stranger" he asked, humbly. Il have
no lands" answered the other Your
estates, then, and your palaces?" in
quired the peasant. Il have none"
said the other. Then your houses,
your gardens, your orchards?" persist
ed the man, amazed. What" cried
the outraged peasant. do you, who
have no lands and no possessions,
presume to give advice to me?" and
he unloaded the donkey, rearranged
the wheat and stones as before, and
proceeded on his way.

Three Great conversationaIists.

The three greatest conversational
lists with whom it has been my good
fortune to come into touch were MAJ
zini, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these, DR.. Holmes was the most
spirited in the bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the same time the most entertaining
in point Of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and
narrative of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lightning-like illumination Of
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such warmth and depth of convic-
ton, such enthusiasm of faith in the
sacredness of the principles pro-
fessed and of the aims pursued by
him, that it was difficult to resist such
a power of fascination.-Carl SchurZ,
In McClures Magazine.

The whole transformation is pro-
phide, which is generated in the jar
itself without any visible apparatus.
The cat has been previously coated
with a solution of chloride of anti
mony wherever the orange hue was
to be produced. and with a solution
of basic acetate of lead wherever the
black stripes were to appear. Both
solutions are colorless. After the
coated cat has been introduced in his
glass cage, small piece of paste
board is placed under the wooden
support so as slightly to incline the
jar forward. A few decigrammes of
pulveriZed sulphide of iron folded in
a piece of blotting paper are depos-
tied behind the cat, on the elevated
side of the bottom of the jar. Two
or three cubic centimeters of diluted
sulphuric acid are dropped with a
pipette on the opposite side. When
the performer wishes the transforma-
tion to take place, he takes the wood
en- support and pushes it forward as
II he wanted to enable everybody to
see better what is going to happen.
By SO doing he suppresses the slight
inclination which kept the iron sulph-
Ide beyond the reach of the sulphuric
acid. The gas is evolved, and the
formation of the orange sulphide of
antimony and black sulphide of lead
takes place in a few seconds.

The Cement lndustrx.

The tremendous development OF the
cement industry in the United States
is revealed by the fact that In ten
years, beginning in 1894. the produc.
tion of Portland cement increased
from 79S.757 barrels annually to 49,.
505,SS1 barrels. 1t Is estimated that
the output of Portland cement during
1906 will aggregate 100000 barrels.
Notwithstanding the rapid develop
ment OF the concrete industry in the
United States there Is plenty OF ce.
ment for home needs and enough In
addition to supply growing foreign
demand. Consul Harris reports from
Mannheim that Germany's sales of
cement to the United States. which
for upwards of decade amounted to
more than million dollars annually,
the amount in 1900 having aggregated
$2.000,000. have dwindled to hal. o
million dollars.

MODEL and maintained small fiat
on Eighty-second street. One day she
saw an advertisement for a steno-
grapher to man of wealth and in
few days was on very good terms
with a Wall street man who has
large family.
The Wall street mans wife died and
he wanted Mrs. Brown to marry him,
but she preferred being fancy free.
He INDUCED her every whim, but he
failed to win her for wife.
She worked the personal" columns
of newspapers to great advantage.
A Broad street stockbroker fell vio-
lently in love with Mrs. Brown and
wanted to elope with her.. She got
much money out of him, but did not
elope, because there were other adver.

When the love business got too
heavy for Mrs. Brown alone she sent
for Mrs. Verrault, and that accommo-
dating young woman promptly left
her husband, then in Baltimore. and
the steady procession of love-lorn men
and fortune hunters continued.

and few men. One of these men
was an actor connected with a Broad

job as butler in the household.

a spiritualistic show in which Mrs.
