On the Lending Of Books.

The rare Memories on Taxation,
by ]. L. Moreau de Beaumont. of which
but few copies were In existence, was

Smith declined, and very naturally, to
lend his copy to Sir John Sinclair, who
had asked for the loan of 1t. writing
that VII any accident should happen to
my book the loss is perfectly lfTepara.
ble."
Adam Smith clearly VaaNed his books
as much as Mrs. Grote did. but he had
not hit on her receipt" for lnsuring
that she obtained possession again of
any book she was asked to lend. Mrs.
Grote's habit WAS to say to the Dor
rover, "IFEl trouble you for SOW
eseign," and the pledge was ticketed
and kept In her purse till the volume
was returned.
Borrowing has been a trouble to all
book collectors. A short sentence pre-
fixed to McCulloch's catalogue bears
witness to this: practically there is
but little difference between borrowing
and stealing books. /" 1t is infinitely
less difficult to defend oneself against
petty larceny than against the solicita-
lions of friend begging for the loan

A Remedy For Burns.

A celebrated German remedy for
burns has been found among Grand
mothers Sure Cures" which may be
made In quantity and kept convenient
for immediate use. Take fifteen ounces
of the best white glue. break in small
pieces and cook In quart of water
until soft. Then dissolve by means Of
a water bath and add two ounces Of
glycerin and six drains of carbollc acid.
Continue the heat until thoroughly dis
solved. On cooling this hardens to an
elastic mass covered with shining
parchment-like skin and may be kept
for any length of time. When required
for use IL IL placed for few minutes in
warm water bath until sufficiently
liquid and applied by means Of broad
brush. II forms In abont two minutes
a shining. smooth. flexible and nearly
transparent skin. which excludes the
air and soon heals the soreness. This
preparation costs but little and II
easily kept ut all times ready FOR use.

The Water Pitcher.

The following simple method of keep.
ing ice water in a common pitcher is
worth knowing: Put q layer Of cotton
batting between two sheets of wrap
ping paper three inches higher than
the pitcher. Fasten the lends of the
paper and batting together, forming a
circle. Paste cover over one end Of
the, batting and paper. This cover,
when over a pitcher. must come close
to the stand and so exclude the air.
ana ice win keep long time. This
paper cover win be found Of great
service in sickroom for both milk
and water pitchers.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

/ The nice thing about flirting to a girl
is she never knows when she is going
to mean it.
When a boy wakes up sick in the
morning it is sign that it is not hol-
iday from school
A man can make more of a success
in the world looking pompous than he
can having brains.
There are mighty few women who
wouldn't rather have slim ankles than
a good husband
If you go about it right quarter will
boost a man into prominence quicker
than multitude of friends.
You can tell when a woman isn't in
terested in what you are saying to her
by the way she pretends she is.
A woman likes to believe her hus-
band is a good man just as she is
bound to think he wouldn't be If 1t
wern't for her infiuence.-New York
Press.
When a fellow tells a girl he would
kiss her If no one was looking ten

SUPERFICIAL SENTIMENT.
Secret of Power Lies In Intensity OF
Emotion.

q Emotion
Superficial sentiment is without vital
influence. The secret of power lies in
the intensity of emotion, but especially
so in poetry, art and literature. By no
hocus pocus can artists and writers
adequately depict what they do not
feel. There should be a thermometer
Of temperament as we'll as for temper
allure. Feeling and emotion have their
degrees. We are serene when our feel
ings are In the temperate zone, indig-
nant when We pass cighty-three, furi-
Gus when we reach blood heat, mad at
boiling point Wher feeling falls be-
low so we become indifferent, and
when 1t reaches freezing point we are
heartless. An emotion that does not
attain the seventy-sixth degree is hard
ly worth recording At summer heat
the rarest flowers begin to bloom and
nature becomes poetic. While the tenn
perate is the proper sphere for pure
reason and scientific observation, it 10
rarely, if ever, proper for the highest
achievement in any art. In the world
of art Imagination and feeling are not
content with serenity that touches
the borders Of Indifference. The crea-
tive instinct is never effective unless
at certain pitch of enthusiasm. 1t is
the sharp, clear, brilliant current of
thought that eleetrifies the brain. But
an idea is worthless unless we can find
a form to hold it. In the best work
idea, form and feeling appear to the
beholder as one. An electric bolt seems
a cold thing, yet stroke of lightning
will consume more at one flash than
IN ordinary fire would consume in an
Grierson III Critic.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
A Common House Fly Travels a Mile
In Thirty-three Seconds.

In Thirty-three Seconds.
It is the popular belief that the flight
of the birds is much swifter than that
of the insects, but number of natural
lists who have been making a study of
the matter think that such is not the
case,
A common house fly, for example, Ia
not very rapid In Its flight, but its
wings make 500 beats a second and
send it through the air twenty-five feet,
under ordinary circumstances, in that
space of time. When the insect is
alarmed, however, it has been found
that it can increase its rate of speed by
over 100 feet per second. If it could
continue such rapid fight for mile in
a straight line, it would cover that dis
lance in exactly thirty-three seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time to
see bee or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get in at one of the
windows. A swallow is considered one
of the swiftest Of flying birds, and It
was formerly thought that no insect
could escape it.
A naturalist, however, told OF an ex-
citing chase he saw between a swallow
and dragon fly, which is among the
swiftest of insects. The Insect few
with incredible speed and wheeled and
lodged with such ease that the swal-
low, despite its utmost efforts, COM
pletely failed to overtake IT.

CARS and LABOR SHORT
MANY INDUSTRIES HANDICAPPED
BY TRAFFIC DELAYS.
BUSINESS REPORTED GOOD
Iron and Steel Industry So Prosperous
as to Preclude Sharp
Competition.

New York, N. Y.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Business experienced the custom
airy interruption during election week,
but a more permanent retarding influ-
ence was the inadequate supply of
tries are severely handicapped by
traffic delays. In other cases there is
idle machinery because hands cannot
be secured, despite the high wages
offered. This difficulty threatens to
reduce the lumber cut materially. Sew
eral strikes are threatened, and one
railway system alone has advanced
wages to the extent of 1000, 600
monthly. Retail trade is well main
tanned by lower temperature in some
sections of the country, and the full
employment of labor at all points,
while wholesale business in holiday
goods is very heavy.
Iron and Steel Industry.
Tardy delivery still causes COM
plant in the iron and steel industry,
unprecedented production by the fin
ishing mills falling behind the require
ments of consumers. Railway block
AIDES also contribute to the d~issatis-
faction of purchasers, who cannot OBJ
tain deliveries on specifications against
old contracts, while new orders are
only taken subject to remote ship
ment. New lake vessels have been
ordered, which mean more business
in plates, although the mills are al
ready booked beyond the first quarter
of next year. The mills have SO much
business on hand that there is not the
customary sharp competition to get
new business. More advances have
occurred in pig iron, and the new ore
season has opened with a rise of from
SO to rs cents per ton.
In the Grain and Flour Trade.
Interrupted movement of grain to
primary markets and the consequent
restriction of foreign business as well
as activity of northwestern flour mills
checks the upward tendency of quota
tions and caused some reaction. West
ern receipts of $685. bushels OF
wheat for the week compare with g.
644,1 1923 bushels in the corresponding
week last year, while exports from all
ports of the United States, flour in
cluded, amounted to 1855, 573 bushels
against 1,9OO,052 a year ago.
