There's no getting around it that many a supposed lover Is respon-
ie for some woman's drinking. There's a man in Detroit today who,
his intimahs know, is planning to apply for a divorce from the woman
he married only a few years ago. He was one of the class who pride
themselves upon making pals of their wives. She's a jolly good TEL

a good cocktail-how to live"
Now one of the chief charges against his good fellow" wife and
erSwhile shy little convent girl, is that she's too fond of the flowing
bowl-al the other faults that make life with her impossible to her
husband, result from this one that he taught her with so much pride.
Girls who acknowledge that they "iust hate the stuff ar drawn
into slipping it with apparent relish so as to escape the certain accusa-
ton Of being prudsh, or odfogyish.

CUTTING STEEL WITH BLOW.
PIPE
New oxy-Aretylene Device Perfected
BY a F~renchnan.

The cutting" Of iron or steel plates
by the local application Of Intense
heat is not a new method. 1t has
been accomplished by the friction OF n
rapidly turning disk. by the electric
arc. and by the use of h~lowpipes OF
various kinds. the metal being partly
melted and partly burned away along
the line of separation. Recently a de.
vice using the new oNy-acetylene
b!owplpe for this purpose has been
greatly perfected and simplitied in
France. What 1t can do Is described
in an article contributed by DR..
Georges VitouN to La Nature. SAYS
this writer:
This instrument differs from the
ordinary oxy.acetylenc blowpipes by
the addition OF a third tube, con.
trolied by a stop.cock. whose purpose
is to direct on the object heated by
the blowpipe a central jet Of oxygen
that effects the combustion OF the
metal.
THE apparatus is easily handled.
The hlowpipe being connected by tiex'
iole tubing with TASKS Of comprest
oxygen and Of a~cetylene dissolved in
acetone under pressure. the acetylene
is first lighted. and y then opening
the oxygen stop-cock gradually there
is obtained an extremely hot flame
with which the sheet to be cut is
raised 10 a bright red. When the tenn
perature is high enough, the third
s%top-cock is opened and a violent but
very slender jet Of oxygen is directed
upon the heated metal. Under its &C.

Cutting the Frozen Water from Glsz.
iers a New Industry.

-
An odd industry that has grown
up in Switzerland, since the introduc.
ton of electric railways, is described
in The Industrial Magazine (August).
This industry IS the quarrying Of
glacier ice for distribution in the
large cities. Says the magazine
named above:
Certain or<he Swiss communes or
districts have been able TO grant con.
~cesslons OF their glaciers for this pur.
pose, and considerable sums have
been expended in constructing ice
slides or troughs. in which the blocks
Of ice may be brought down. Glacier
ice, which is perfectly pure and trans
parent, and which has many qualities
which are greatly appreciated by the
consumers, commands a higher price
than that of the usual kind obtained
from the lakes and ponds, A singu.
lar feature in connection with the
preparation OF the ice for the market
is that II has been found necessary
10 store il for some days 10 special
warehouses, built like our own ice
houses, those with double walls with
sawdust between them, in order TO
remove a coating OF frosted or o
transparent ice that tends to form on
the surface OF the block as II leaves
the glacier.

The art Of pleasing may be said to be synonymous with the II Oh
rising in the world. OF course there have been some notable exceptions
of men who surrounded themselves with a nimbus of gloom after they
emerged from the chrysais of genius, but these, after all, missed the
brightness and beauty of life. Michael Angelo was a stern, cold, for
bidding man, and though people admired his works they did not admire
himself: he had few friends and fame did not bring him happiness.
Columbus was unsocial and taciturn, and TO this disposition may be at
tributed the mutiny of his crews, which with difficulty was allayed on
his voyage of discovery to the New World. Dante was never invited out
to dinner in his life and during his exile from his home and his wander
ings throughout his native land, was never welcomed at any freside;
he remained a hermit to his countrymen.
On the contrary, the brilliant men who had warm hearts and polished
manners worked their way into the love Of the multitude. Charles
James Fox, even when he had gambled away his last dollar, was beloved
by the people because of his gracious manner. Gladstone was the idol
of the English race, despite political hatred, owing to the charm of his
personality and winning ways, which also gained for him many a vote
and won many an election. The genial, kindly, lovable life of William
Mckinley endeared his name to the homes of the American people and
his untmely death plunged a nation into tears regardless of all political
utilization.
The 81 don't know 81 don't care" None of my business" kind
OF man stays where he starts. More than their ability, their manners have
put most successful men where they are today.

SAVING CHIMNEY HEAT.
Unique System Of Piping Which May
Provide Heat for Room.

The wasted heat in a chimney OF a
fireplace may be turned into service
without much trouble. Where rooms
are directly above the fireplace 1t may
be possible 10 bypass the hot gases
in the chimney through an old.fash-
Toned drum, and If the size Of the
chimney would admit ii. it would be
a very easy matter TO ear out some Of
the chimney wall and locate a pipe
coil righ, over the fireplace in the
chimney so that n or more radiators
may be connected with the coil. 1t
will be necessary to use care in plac.
ing the coil so as not to obstruct the
draft, says a correspondent in the Ru.
raj New Yorker.
The accompanying illustration shows
how a hot water system may be in
