THE OLD FASHIONED QUILT.

When compared with the nlgn art
of patterns today,
The attractive, machine-stitched ready
made quilt
With little attractions to the old |
fashioned way
OF making up homely patch quilts, |
which of yore
Were composed of collections of |
remnants we wore,
Our own and, our neighbors, collected
and stored
In bag hung behind the old clos
ct door.
Stripes, dots, plaids, check and prints
OF colors both sombre and bright
Fancy lawns, plain denims, silks and
chintz
. To be afterwards sewed. on by day
and night,
Mathematical problems combined in

hands that made it,
Each stitch and each square repre-
senting a soul,
Composing the homely and humble
patch quilt
Don't you remember the cold nights
of winter
When inside your room the air
grew so chill
That you woke from your slumbers
and felt sweet pressure
OF cover tucked closer your form,
and that thrill
When tender hands threw another

Over your form, and you lay there
so still
So snug in the warmth that the
cover brought with it?
Don't you remember the oft quilt

The old and the young together ar

of o'marrying
Somewhere and sometime-the false

A Submarine Kite.

A strange kite, devised by Swsd-
ish engineer, is made to fly under
water.
It is constructed of light canvas,
spread upon strong but light metal
frame, and Is made in two sections.
The lower and smaller section de-
ponds from the upper and Is connect
ed with it by kind of coupling. Tho
mission Of the apparatus is to warn
vessels of shoals or places where
there is an insufficient depth of water.
A small wire cable runs from the kite
to the vessels deck.
AS the ship sails along the kite
trails beneath or beside the craft at
such depth as will insure safety.
II at any time the bottom of the
kite touches ground Z device relieves
the coupling connecting it with the
upper part and the alarm bell ia
sounded on deck.
The kite may then be drawn up.
readjusted and thrown overheard
again, to resume its silent but useful
vigils.

Strenuous Life DANGEROUS.

A warning is uttered by the Prac.
tttioner against the dangers of the
strenuous life. It is good to be siren
uous, 1t is averred, but it is also good,
as the poet tells us, to play the fool
or, at any rate, to be idle at the right
time and in the right way. This is
Just what the strenuous man forgets
and the consequence is too often
premature breakdown-a common
event In the storm and stress of mod
ern life. The strenuous life is help
Ing to overcrowd our asylums. We
need to learn the inca1culable value Of
rest. This consists. not in a change
Of excitement or in hard work dis
guised as game, but in genuine re-
pose. A man who knows how to rest
from labor will live longer and &C.
complish more than one who allows
the fever of strenuous living to fret
his mind and body to premature de-
cay.

Why Men Grow Bald.

When you see a bald man you see
one nine times in ten who has no i'm
ag1nation. There are twenty bald
Germans to one bald Irishman. The
study Of Shelly or Of Keats never
made young man lose his hair, but
an immense desire to master the pro-
found Greek authors makes many a
student prematurely bald. The bust
ness man without Imagination who is
above thirty usually is a specialist in
something. He digs into that, makes
money, grows bald and wastes his vi
tally. Three physicians in five have
little hair when they are forty. Nine
newspaper men in ten have thick hair
when they are sixty. The tenth, per-
haps, does not lack imagination, but
may have studied too hard in school
days. "s.' ::~ 49, -

Two gentlemen were travelling In

Descent of.Ihorium.

Seldom in the history of chemical
Industry has any chemical product un-
dergone such marked variation of
price within few years as thorium,
the principal constituent of incandes-
cent NANTES, says Scientific American.
EARLY in 1894 thorium nitrate was sold
by the German combination at 1000
marks per kilognfmme, and by Janu-
airy of the next year it had fallen to
900 marks; In July of the same year
it stood at 500 marks. In 1896 it fell
In May to $50 marks, and in October to
30 marks, touching the low price Of 30
marks in 1899. After that the price
was pushed up to So marks, less 7 per
cent discount, in May, 1904, figure
which the Convention" succeeded in
maintaining till January of this year,
when it dropped to ~ marks, less 3
per cent discount.

Town Built Too Soon.

There is in Connaught, Ireland,
remarkable curiosity, which gives an
example of official oversight. When
the great famine of 1847 was upon the
land the government OF the day con-
ceived the idea Of opening a line Of
navigation from Galway to Ballina, by
way of Tough Corrib and Lough
Mask, so as to avoid the dangers Of
the western coast. From Cong a
canal was actually made to Lough
Mask as part of the general scheme.
The work gave great deal Of en-
ployment and so far the canal served
the purpose. But when it was COM
pleted it was found the canal would
not hold water. The fact that the
rock Of the district is of very porous
character had been overlooked.

PRIZE WINNER WAS FAkER-
Potatoes He Entered at tho Fair Woro

Potatoes He Entered at the Fair Wero
Purchased From Grocer.
There is more than one way Of win
ming prizes at country fair. When
the rubber neck from the city looks
over the agricultural curiostties In
the big tent and sees the gigantic
pumpkins and huge potatoes he ma
turally thinks these were brought to
such proportions by careful gardening,
nursing by the farmer who enters the
exhibit. But this isn't always true.
One of the prizes for big spuds at
the Wolcott fair went to man who
came in from Watertown way, bought
some choice potatoes at a market,
took 'em out to Wolcott and COPIED
one of the prizes. He didn't even
know what kind of potatoes they were.
The day before the fair the farmer
went into a Waterbury market. He
looked over the stock and saw one
basket Of potatoes Of extraordinary
size. His eyes glistened and he
picked out half dozen of the largest
in the basket.
"What kind?" he inquired.
The clerk didn't KIN pw one potato
from another. but he said: why,
those are 'Johnson's Beauties
The spuds were duly labeled and
shipped to Wolcott. The Watertown
man got one of the prizes in walk
and all the cult stood about him at
the fair and complimented him upon
his fine crop of potatoes.
1T must have taken lot of care
and good soil to raise potatoes that
size" they all remarked. And that
wise farmer said it surely did.
