plies; title; schools: privacy; water
supply anddrainage; neighborhood,
view or outlook; fire protection and
insurance; protection from strom
and flood; taxes and probable rise
in price of land.
Of these the most important
thing, after satisfying oneself of
the availability of site, is the
title. The question of schools is
one appealing direct to the parents.
MIR. Lewis suggests as matter of
precaution that the home seeker
should look up the school board
and make inquiries concering the
fitness of its members for the posi-
tons. An efficient school board is
almost invariably proof of good
school equipment.

What paint! The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money, and
putting it on costs twice as much as the
paint.
This is short; but that's all; it includes
the rest. One paint wears long. another
wears short; but the one that wears long
is the least gallons paint; least gallons
means pure and strong, and mcst-gallons

GLASS is PECULIAR.

glass that have been suddenly coosed
possess the curious property OF being
able 10 resist hard blows given TO
them from without. but will be instant
ly shlvered by n small particle OF flint
dropped into their cavities. This
property seems to depend upon the
comparative thickness of the bottom:
the thicker the bottom Is the more GER

Some OF these vessels. it Is stated. have
resisted the stroke OF mallet given
with sufficient force to drive a nall

musket balls. pieces OF iron. bits of

or three feet without any effect, yet
fragment of flint not larger than pea
dropped from n height OF three inches

Real Use of the Bees Stinc.

The bees sting is Il trowel, not n
rapier." said nature student. 1T is
an eNqusitely delicate little trowel
with which the bee finishes of the
honey cell, injects little preservative
inside and seals 1t up. With its trowel-
like sting the bee puts the final touches
ON the dainty and wonderful work.
With the sting it pats and shapes the
honey cell, as mason pats and shapes
a row or brick. Before sealing up the
cell ii drops wee bit of poison into
the honey. This is formic acid. With
out 1t honey would spoil. Most OF us
think the bees sting, with its poison.
Is weapon only. 1t is n weapon sec
ondarily, but primarily 1t is a magic
trowel, a trowel from whose end, as
the honey cells are built up, a wonder
full preserving fluid drips.

some Characteristics of the Great Con.
federate Leader
Unlike many OF the leaders in the
Confederacy, Robert L. Lee had no net
theory the maintenance of which re-
quired him to cast his fortunes with
the SOUTH" says Mrs. General Pickett
IN her Personal Memoirs Of Robert
L. Lee" in Lippincott's. "a soldier by
birth and training, he had belonged to
the United States too long entirely to
have developed an allegiance to tho
doctrine of state rights, though lonr
after the war he made the statement
that had not that theory been taught
at West Point there would have been
no secession.
Though invariably considerate to
his subordinates, Lee could be drastic
and dictatorial when it became neces-
sary, and If occasion required IT he
could outrank the president. Jefferson
Davis always claimed that he himself
was intended for a soldier, not a presi-
dent. and he was fond of being under
fire If he could not get behind the guns.
One day he came out on the field dur
Ing a battle. Lee turned to him and
asked:
Mr.. President, am I in command
hereT
Certainly said Mr.. Davis.
Then, sir Lee replied, 4 forbid
you to stand here under the enemy's
guns. I order you of the field
The president went
One of Lees strongest Characters
tics was the grave immobility of his
race In times of the greatest stress OF
Keeling. Grant speaks OF it in his nc
count of the surrender.
Meade and Lee were old friends. |
and Immediately after the surrender
Meade called on him.
Meade said Lee, the years are
telling on you too. Your hair is get |
ting quite gray
That is not the work of years. Gen
eral Lee Meade replied. You are re-
sponsible for my gray hairs"

Mercury and Air

Inc reason that mercury rises and
rams IN the barometer is that dry air is
neavy' moist air is light, and the col
umn or mercury is affected by atmos-
pheric pressure. The tube Of barom-

ar when moist cannot support the
weight of the mercury. When the air
Is dry, the mercury cannot resist its
weight; hence the rise and fall in dry
