and not on the other one side would
be ligs,er than the other and the top
would not spin well.
The bristle should be a little longer
than the peg, so that It will press hard
on the plate on which the top is to
spin. This plate is smoked over a
candle fame until It is black. and the
top is spun on It. If the top stood in
one spot the bristie would trace a per-
feet circle on the blackened plate and
would go on tracing the same circle
over and over. But II is not the habit
of tops to stay in the same place, and
by fitting the plate you can make the
little top travel in any direction, fast
or slow, as you please. AS 1t moves,
the peg on which It spins marks out
its path as white line and at the
same time the bristle traces a beauti-
full series of scrolls crossing and re-
crossing this path.
The general result, explains Good
Literature, is like the COR Gated
scroll work on bank notes. Il, in
deed. is made in a somewhat milar
way, though, of course. by machines
that can be guided more accurately
than our self-willed little top. You can
obtain a great variety of beautiful pat.
terms by fitting the plate this way
and that. II you keep the top moving
along at moderate rate so that the
scrolls do not blend together you can
tell how many times the top has
turned round by counting the scrolls.
for each scroll corresponds to one ro-
tation.
If you are Of an inquiring turn Of
mind you have often wondered, no
doubt, how fast top of this or any
other sort really spins. OF course.
there are great variations. At the be-
ginning 1t spins as fast as you can
make it go. and It topples over when
it is spinning too slowly to stand up.

Why Glasses Are Clicked.

In answer 10 correspondent who
asks, "Wil! you finally settle the ques
tion why glasses are clicked when
people drink n toast in wine?" a Ber
lin paper says: Your question
should have included beer. The ancient
form is observed with that beverage
as well as with wine. There are many
versions, but the most logical is the
one which is based on the supposltion
that good drink is so worthy OF re
spect that in taking IL all ones senses
should be employed. One sees the
liquid, tastes It. smells its fragrance
feels its effect, and the glasses are
clicked so that the sense OF hearing
may also have q share in the pleas
ure."

Where PerIods Are propp.d

THE one thing in American print
that puzzled me most when / first
began to read New York papers was
the punctuation" said a man from
Hull. Il was especially confused by
the multitude of periods used in abb
breviating titles. In our papers at
home most of those dots are omitted
in that connection. Here such abbre-
viations as Dr., Mr., Mrs. and Rev, for
example, are finished of with a dot;
over there we simply write DR. Smith,
Mr. Jones. Mrs Brown and Rev Mr.
Green. Naturally, the difference in
the appearance OF a whole page of
printed matter in which these words
frequently recur is striking"

Il heard you quoting this the other
day when we had to wait so long at
the hotel for dinner" said Mrs. Race.
But that was only two lines:
" He may live without iove-what is pas
sion but pining?
But where is the man that cen live
without dining?"
I'VE never paid attention to those,
lines in the old days, did we?" asked
Mr.. Race, who had reached the per-
feet good comradeship with his young
wife which few early marriages ever
show, but which Virginia thought hor-
rible. Il remember we used to weep
copiously-that is, you did-over GER
tain fictitious heroines, and the same
passages now would only cause you
to smile"
Virginia had slipped away from the
young couple sitting in the midst OF
playthings, little garments and
crumbs, for a good hard think in her
own room. Cousin Editha's visit came
to an end before the lively children
wore every one out, and when at last
they went home Virginia gave an i'm
promptu little party to celebrate the
event.
The young people who had stunned
the Castles since the house had to be
perfectly quiet after seven o'clock
every evening. came trooping back,
and once more the big house rang
with laughter and fun. Virginia was
the gayest Of the gay. and once when
Herbert pressed her hand under cover
of the portiere, she only laughed Joy.

COLORADO MAKES
GOOD SHOWING

| The State Dairy commission has been
doing considerable work along the line
| of testing cows for tuberculosis and the
results are interesting as they show
that Colorado has good right to boast
| of the healthiness of her climate.
1t is also shown very plainly that
dairy stock which are allowed to roam
in the pastures and on the hills are far
more healthy than those which are
| confined in barns and corrals to breathe
the air contaminated by the lack of
proper ventilation and sanitary
methods.
There were 1928 cows tested in all,
! and six of these reacted, making about
! 1-2 per cent diseased. Some 224 of
these cows belonged to parties furnish
ing the Carlton Frink Creamery and
were ranged on the divide near Larks-
pure, between Denver and Colorado
Springs. The animals are allowed to
roam the hills in the day time, are
brought up for their evening milking,
after which they are again turned to
the pastures until morning milking. Out
of these hcards of 224 cows there was
not one that reacted to the test in such
4 manner that she could be condemned
as tuberculos. One was suspicious.
The remaining l5s cows belonged TO
parties supplying the city of Boulder
with milk and among these heards Were
the six that reacted. They were used to
much closer confinement than the other
herd and the results speaks for them
selves. But it is not the close confine.
ment alone that causes the trouble; it
is the poor ventilation of the barns, the
filthy corrals and the crowcing together
of the cows so that if there is one
diseased animal in the herd the air of
the barns is contaminated by her and
is source of infection to the others
of the herd and especially those which
stand close to her in the stanchious.
II there was not diseased cow in tho
herd and the barn were properly ven
tilated and cleaned the close confne
ment would not cause the disease.
But nevertheless think that this is
n remarkable showing for Colorado and
a good advertisement for her climate.
In the East they think nothing of hav-
ing 20 per cent of herd diseased
