old folks had never seen Dora, and

that she might see his birthplace, and

The report of the Carnegie fund for the

Vacuum Dust Removers Are Coming
Into Grnnf Nnuuo 90

Vacuum Dust Removers Are Coming
Into Great Vogue of Late.
Tie broom threatens soon to be as
obsolete as the old copper warming
pan, judging from the number of
vacuum dust removers which are be-
ing placed upon the market. The change
is one which must meet with the IN
qualified approval Of al who know
what breeding ground of disease is
the common dust of houses. Every
housewife who is possessed of cleanly
instincts should welcome an apparatus
ing it in all directions. lost to the
senses, SO to speak, for time by its
attenuation in air, only sooner or later
to settle again on the shelves, pictures
curtains and carpets in a thin film.
Moreover, the removal Of dust and IT'S
collection in receptacle by means of
the vacuum cleaner permit of its abso-
lutte destruction by fire.
archaeological science can easily
demonstrate the existence of disease
germs in common household dust, and
there is evidence of an eminently prac-
teal character that dust is otherwise
source of disease; there could hardly
be more effective means of spreading
the infectiye and irritating particles
than the old-fashioned broom The
method is not only insanltary but alb
surd from the point of view Of its,
application.
The broom may clean the surface oe
carpet chair or curtain .effectually
enough, but the dust is only removed
to be scattered elsewhere and to be
spread over an even wider area than
before. The great and important diff
ference between the cult of the broom
aud the vacuum cleaner may be
summed up by saying that while the
former Is calculated to spread disease
the latter enables the dust and IT'S
pathogenic contents to be removed and
destroyed by fire. The passing of the
broom, when it comes to be un fait
accompl, will be fact OF great sani-
tary significance.

The wooing had progressed splendid

truthful girl, she would in time be his
wife. If she was not truthful-well,
no man wants a wife who is not truth

themselves when they fail to marry.
But she seemed to be truthful, and
as he drew her closer to him he whis-
pered:

In lands of lost delight;
We lean to it across the bars

With pleading hands held out to 1t,

Into the valleys of the bloom
Where youth and gladness meet.
The little pathways of the hill,
The ladders to the sky,
With golden rungs to tread upon,
Up these il passqs by;
And when We lean ana when we call,
And when we feel it near,
Lo, in the little window peeps
The sun, and morn is here.
