SHOPPING.

Shopping is a form of cruelty In
dulged by married ladies toward their
husbands. 1t is incipient in young
girls, reaches an active condition in
brides and arrives at its most virulent
stage between the tenth and the TWEEN
ty-fifth year Of married life. A small,
delicate, slight, nervous, sensitive wo-
man who would faint away at an
empty mouse trap will go through the
shopping district in from two to seven
hours and come out refreshed and suS-
tanned by an unfaltering trust if her
husbands credit is good, while that
gentleman at the end of fortyfive min
utes has to be carried home on q
stretcher Some women are born shop
pers, others achieve it, but not one of
them has it thrust upon her. Shopping
is extensively practiced on week days
beginning on Monday with a rush and
ending on Saturday in time for the
opera. 1t promotes industry. Without
it married men would have time to
rest.-Delineator.

an indianapolis QndD firm. The tire is
made in two styles-a heavy, solid rub
Der tread for pleasure cars and steel
tread for commercial vehicles. When
fitted with the former. this new tire
consists of pneumatic tire resting on
a steel rim and incased in two steel
bands that follow the contour Of the
pneumatic tire until about one-third of
the tread is covered, the steel bands
being bolted to the rim Of the wheel.
In the opening left on the tread is
placed solid rubber tire, which, being
very thick. prevents the pneumatic
tires tread being punctured, and the
steel bands on the sides prevent the
pneumatic tire from coming off and
from wear and rim cutting. When the

Shooting n Rabbit.

In Sullivan county there is a man
who spent whole day hunting. and at
nightfall he was returning homeward
empty handed when he found rab-
bit in snare and still kicking. He
released it and was about to dispatch
it with the back of his hand when it
occurred to him that he could not say
he shot it, as no shot marks would be
found to corroborate his story. So he
tied a string to one of the hind legs of
the rabbit, tied the other end to the
fence, backed away twenty yards and
fired. The shot cut the string and
bunny ran away. Such a good joke
on himself was too good to keep, and
he told it at the village grocery. little
thinking that it would be handed about

of the imports. Norway received III
1905 for her exported goods the s"'''
total of s5S,5OO0OO, while she spent
$50. 100000. This balance OF traoe
would be serious matter were IL no'
for two important sources OF 1ncoihe'
Norway's shops, seen in every port VI
the globe, carry large share OF the
worlds trade With little more tnan
two millions of population, the little
kingdom stands forth among the ma
tons in the size of her merchant ma
rine. The revenue fro mthis is, OF
course, very important item.
Another considerable source OF rev.
enue is the tourist trade, which grows
year by year. A more pleasant ana
profitable trip than journey through
Norway in summer is difficult to i'm
agine. The glorious scenery, the Won
derful roads, the neat and inviting
inns the unfailing courtesy OF the
country folk and their old world ways,
have all proved magnets to the trav-
cling American.
Thus the people of Norway, despite
the handicap of natural conditions,
contrive to win prosperity. Their pa
triotism was deeply stirred by the
events of the union crisis and the dis
solution of the union with Sweden.
This patriotism is now finding express
sion i'm the fostering of home indus
tries. Home made goods are enjoy
ing unusual popularity, so the Ameri-
can consul at Bergen writes, and yet
foreign trade does not seem to DIM
inish perceptibly.
The greatest obstacle to the growth
Of Norway and the development of her
resources is, of course, the large an
nual emigration to America This
shows no signs of abating, and while
it gives us superior material for new
citizens, it depletes Norway's strength
sadly. 1t may prove that modern
methods for the utilization of water
power in all kinds of manufacturing
enterprises will bring such prosperity
to that country of waterfalls that the
young men will seek their fortunes at
home rather than in our golden land
of opportunity At any rate, it is evil
dent that a new era of growth and de-
velopment lies before old Norge.

illustrated in the accompanying en-
craving is an improved try-square of
such design as to enable the marking
of two faces of the work simultane-
ously. Furthermore, it permits Of
marking the timber for square or
plumb cut and also for beveled cut.
In general the new square resem-
bles the standard type, consisting, as
it does, of a stock, at one end of which
a blade is attached. projecting at right
angles thereto. On the stock central
tongue is formed, which extends longi-
tudinally of the stock. The thickness
of this tongue is the same as that of
the blade, so that it's faces lie flush
Herewith. A similar tongue is form
ed on the end of the stock by the pro-
jecting edge of the blade.
Thus far the description applies
equally we'll to the standard square.

DistfllatfOn of Iron.

Henri Moissan, the French chemist,
has recently continued his experiments
in the distillatiOn, with the electric arc,
of various metals and metalloids. He
concludes as the result of these re-
searches that there exists no known
substance which cannot be distilled in
our laboratories. The ebullition Of
iron is very difficult to produce, yet
Moissan has distilled 400 grams of
iron in twenty minutes with an electric
current Of 1000 amperes at pressure
of 40 volts. In all cases the vapors
of the metals cOndense in the form of
crystalline dust, possessing all the
chemical properties of those metals
when reduced to the form of powder
Moissan's experiments throw light on
the probable temperature of the sun,
where iron and the other chemical ele-
ments exist in the state of vapor. The
maximum temperature of the electric
arc is about $500 degrees centigrade
But owing to the greater pressure pro-
duced by gravitation on the sun it is
probable that the temperature Of -ebul-
lition of the elements there is higher
than on the earth.

John Camden Neild, whose magni1-

great misers and was as remarkable a
man as any of them. He was educat-

his fathers death placed him in pos
session Of fortune of f25O.OOO. and
from that moment he became con-

meanly furnished that it did not even
boast Of a bed. Two old women, who
did his chores. and a black cat were
his sole companions. When he visited
his large estates in the Midlands,

walked unless he could get a lift for
nothing, and he was not even above

Chemical Treatment Of Milk.

A new method of sterilizing milk, ro
ported to have been discovered by
Professor Behring, dispenses with boil
ing and does not destroy any of its es-
sential principles. The method is said
to be based on the powerful qualities
of German perphydrol. simply oxy-
genated. One gram per liter of this
substance is sufficient to destroy all
noxious germs. Milk thus sterilized
can be kept long time and is not in
jured by travelling. but it cannot be
drunk until it has been warmed and q
drop of a catalytic substance added.
DR.. Behring has proved that light has
harmful effect upon milk. whether
sterilized hot or cold. and he recon.
mends that it should be kept in dark
place or in red OR green bottles.
