Onc,s serene Little World.

A woman ] know is counted poor
among her friends. She has little
or no money, no health, much love,
one sunshiny window, and a plant or
two. Each one with whom she be-
gan life has grown rich, occupying
great and important places, outstrip-
ping her like a gay procession that
sweeps by one who has fallen dis
comfited by the wayside. Sometimes
the woman has compared her lot and
rebelled, as she herself has told n4e.
She, too, has cried out for the mean
ing of it all, the secret of her own
failure and their success. why,
why, why?" she has monaned in de-
spair. What ought / to do, how
ought l to have done?" The other
day she came TO see me. ! saw a
new light in her eyes, and saw that
she had found strength.
What is it?" | asked.
"Only this" she answered. i've
studied into it all and thought.
Their world is not my world, nor
my world theirs, and l can do moth
ing to change it. One thing. though,
I can do. Small as it is, can make
my little world serene. Lille Ham

I'm EOLLS INTENTION.

The foil. or silver paper, which is used
the world over for wrapping cigars,
chocolates, cakes of yeast, etc, owes its
origin, like the telephone, to America.
a New York man, over 80 years ago,
gave a good deal of time to an unsuc-
cessful attempt to cover iron bolts with
copper. Such bolts would have taken
the place of the costly ones OF pure
conner. The man, though, could not
make them.
But in the beating ont of the copper
he nit on the idea OF beating out tin.
He beat it out between sheets of lead,
and the beautiful, flexible silver paper
that he obtained achieved an instant
popularity
Tin foil, or silver paper, is now beaten
from pure tin exactly as gold leaf is
beaten from pure gold. 1t is usually
rolled in sheets four feet long by six
inches wide. 1t is perfectly easy. with
little beating to double the length and
breadth of these sheets without adding
any new material 10 them.-St. Louis

SEEDLESS APPLES.

Rumors OF the existence OF scedless
apple have raised the hopes OF the lovers
Of the king of fruit for several seasons
past, and the famous orchard at Grand
Junction, Col, which, it is expected, will
rcvoutionize the apple industry, as the
famous seedless orange cutting from
Bahia has revolutionized the citrous in
dustry, is now well established and in
full bearing, so that unless some catas-
trophe overtalles it the Spencer seedless
apple promises to become national by
word.
The American Agriculturalist vouches
for the fact that the orchard now con-
tains about 90 trees, ranging from o to

Good ColnrS For Honsns.

1t is not generally known-not
even among painters-why certain
tints and colors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge of just what tints are best
to use is, therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the
sun will protect house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because
1t turns back, or reflects, the red
rays, and the red rays are the hot
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, so far as wear is concerned
In choosing the color of paint for
your house, select reds, browns,
grays and olives which, considering
the various tones these tints will
produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints. such as cold
yellows (like lemon), cold green's
(like grass green, etc., and the
blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves.
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color viii fade, and
the paint will scale off, If adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used.

toned above will outwear the same

INCREASE IN OUTPUT.
Leather Glove Industry Growing,
Though Workers Are Decreasing,

'oi ''o'V ihuustTy GROWING,
Though Workers Are Decreasing,
Although there is a decrease in
the number of workmen employed
in the leather glove and mitten in
dustry in the recently completed
census of 1904, as compared with
1900, the fact is explained by a re-
arrangement of the work and the
production has increased materially.
There was a decrease of eleven
per cent. in the number of establish
ments and an increase in the output
of six per cent. A decrease of twen-
ty-five per cent. in the number of
wage earners is recorded. but this
is explained by the fact that piece
workers at their homes on contract,
and who constitute a considerable
proportion of the employees in the
industry, were in 1900 included in
the schedules as regular wage earn
ers, while in the latest figures only
the compensation paid them was
taken into account. The figures for
1904 show the following: Number
of establishments, 339; capital in
vested, $10,7O5, ,599; salarled Off
cials and clerks, Gao; salaries, 1884,
