How Radiator May Be Heated From
Range Boiler.

Unsuccessful attempts to heat ra-
diators from hot water boilers are
usually due to faulty installation. The
sketch herewith shows the correct
way to make the connections. Instead
OF using valves the stop cocks A and B
are used, as they offer less resistance
to circulation than ordinary globe
valves. Cock A must be so arranged
that 1t cannot be closed more than
two-thirds, says correspondent of
Domestic Engineering, else il cock B
and cock A are inadvertently closed
tight at the same time there would be
danger OF the waterback exploding.
The operation would be as follows:
BY partly closing cock A any desired
amount of the hot water could be
forced through radiator, and by this
means radiator could be kept up to

Blue Eyed Babies.

If h pity that a.l babies born vii

 They seem to think, said the ma tron of one such institution. that blue eyes give promise of great intelligence, honesty and general stability of char acter. That Is pretty hard on the youngsters with eyes of brown, black, gray or hazel Undoubtedly those chil- dren will grow up to be just as worthy citizens as the blue eyed tots, but 1t is impossible to make most of the pro- spective parents-in-law believe so. They have been influenced by the ar guments of certain half baked scien- tifc writers who claim that all the v1r- tues are found in blue eyes, and the 6Ark eyed children, no matter what their parentage, suffer from the dis crsmination.

Her Limit.

The old generation of Galloway lairds were primitive and hospita ble race, but their conviviality some times led to awkward occurrences. In former days, when roads were bad and wheeled vehicles almost unknown, an old laird was returning from supper party with his lady mounted behind him on horseback. On crossing the river Urr at a ford at a point where it joins the sea the old lady dropped off, but was not missed until her husband reached his door. when, of course, there was an immediate search made. The party who were dispatched in quest of her arrived Just in time to find her remonstrat ting with the advancing tide, which trickled into her mouth, in these words: .No anither drap, neither het nor cauld.

CHURCH TO
 OBSERVE CENTENNIAL

Rochester, N. H, Oct, 26.-Many prominent Methodists will take part tomorrow in the celebration of the centennial of the First Methodist Episcopal church of this city, one of the oldest of the denomination in New England. The first Methodist class in New England was formed at Strat- field, Conn, in 17S9, and was compos- ed of three women. In 1791 the Rev. Jesse Lee was appointed presiding elder for New England and Canada. . The first pastor appointed for the Methodist class here was the Rev Warren Canister, who came here some time in 1897 and formed the congre- gation which has presisted to this day.
