Snakes with Toothache.

The snake tore about it's cage in
frenzy. 1t lashed the glass viciously
with its tail.
That's Joe's way o. swearin'." said
the keeper. He's got toothache."
"Toothache?"
Sure. Snakes suffer turrible from
toothache. They're so reckless, ye see,
with their fangs. They jab 'em into
anything-shoe leather, wood, iron
bars. They take no care of their
fangs at all. In fact, there had oughter
be a snake dentist to give his mates
lectures on fang hygiene.

PROPER CARE OF THE WATCH
Simple Precautions That Will Save
Paying Jewellers Bills.

why do watches get dirty" said
the jeweler. You'll find the answer in
your watch pocket. Turn it OUT
The patron turned out his watch
pocket, sheepishly bringing forth a
pinch of mud-colored dust, some lint
and small ball of black fluff.
There's the reason said the
1eweler. Watches get dirty because
the pockets they are carried in are
never clean. a watch pocket, my dear
sir, should be cleaned out regularly
once a week. Observe that rule and
your watch's works will not get clog
ged up again.
Another and a seasonable rule is
never to lay your watch down on
stone or marble. The cold deranges
the delicate works.
Never lay your watch down, in
fact, anywhere. Hang 1t up on a hook,
vertically. in the same position 1t oc-
cupies when in your pocket Watches
are made to lie, or rather stand, in
that position only.
Wind your watch In the morning,

How to Burn Rubbish.

We had been puzzled to know how
to dispose of waste paper and other
rubbish when there was no fire in the
range. A piece of chicken wire netting
five feet long and three feet wide
was rolled to form hollow cylinder.
An old tin dish pan was fastened to
the bottom with some bits of wire
and our "crematory" was complete.
Into this wire basket We dump all the
rubbish and when we want to burn It
a lighted match is pushed through the
netting and another old pan is turned
over the top Of the basket There is no
danger OF fire from flying bits of burn.

easily carried to any part of the yard
where one wishes to have the bonfire.

Notwithstanding the fact that Kube-

FORTUNE IN INGENIOUS IDEA.
Northern Mans Clever Scheme to
Bore Through Quicksand.

r. E. BLOWN, superintendent of the
Louisiana state experiment station at
New Orleans, keeps in touch with all
the industries of the south, although
the experiment station over which he
presides is devoted largely to the de-
velopment of the sugar industry.
There is one industry in our state"
said Mr.. BLOWN to the Washington
Post, that is making it's owner a
millionaire. We have an immense sui
phur deposit that our people have
tried for years to operate, but without
success. 1t was found beneath an
enormous quicksand, and no one ever
was able to overcome that obstacle.
Finally this northern man came down
and he mastered the problem by an
ingenious plan. He sank three great
tubes through the qucksand, one tube
within the other. Through one tube
he forces superheated steam into the
sulphur deposit; through the other he
obtains his exhaust, and he gets his
sulphur through the intermediary
pipe. The steam melts the sulphur
and forces it as a molten liquor to
the surface, where it is carried off to
a suitable spot, and drained into an
artificial pond, making lake of solid
sulphur after it becomes cold. As it
comes from the earth this deposit is
more than 9S per cent pure sulphur,
so you can see what valuable indus
try the ingenuity of this man has
brought to him"

is PROPHET OF THE HIGHEST
Qualities That Are the Attribute of
the Ideal Minister.

AS the touch of genius lifts the
master above the mere musician, so
this sense of the unseen lifts the ideal
minister above the mere preacher of
sermons. 1t is the investiture of
priesthood verified not by tradition,
but by experience. 1t is immediacy of
access to the eternal fountains of sal
walton. He lives among men as one of
them, simple, unselfish, human, hope
full, yet they know that he walks with
God
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended.
He is a scholar, but criticism has
never violated that shrine of the
spirit where the pure in heart see
God, says a writer in The Atlantic.
The unfading. newness of everlasting
truth gives to his speech the fresh
ness of springtime. The unsearchable
mystery of infinite holiness gives to
his thought and conduct gravity and
reserve. as one who has beheld things
which it is not possible for man to
utter. The demands of social service
have not stamped him with the pro-
fessionalism of reformer The ardor
of churchmanship has not made him
an ecclesiastic. He remains a prophet
of the highest. When he speaks men
feel that he is standing on holy
ground. When he prays men perceive
that he is prostrating himself before
the risen Christ.
