The acoeleration Of parental discipline has be-

This spank ( is not an innovation. according to

mother or father if the child had been whipped

To Make Waxsd Paper.

This is used for keeping substances
which either contain volatile aromatic
ingredients or grease, which would
penetrate through ordinary paper. On
a fat sheet of copper over a gentle fire
place a sheet of paper as, a base and
then lay second sheet on the top Of
the first, coat this second sheet with
yellow or white wax and distribute the
latter uniformly over the entire sheet
by means of a sponge, exerting little
pressure, till the paper is everywhere
transparent and consequently perme-
ated by the wax. If the fire is too
feeble, the process will be retarded.
Too powerful a flame is still more
harmful, as the paper is liable to be-
come brown or black. Stearin may
be used instead of wax.-Der Indus

tended the ladder has the proportions
Of an ordinary stepladder, and when
both sides are folded the ladder is re-
duced to one-third it's original length
so that 1t may be slowed away in a
small space.
The tread portion of the ladder is
formed with a separate section for
each step. Each section slides within
the one below and may be secured
either in the extended or folded posi-
ton by a double pin at each side, as
shown in the detail view, Fig. 2. This
method of coupling the sections makes
a very strong and firm joint. A small
wire hook is suspended above each
double pin and serves as a retainer to
prevent the pin from being entirely
withdrawn. This does away with the
danger Of losing the pins and keeps
them always in position for instant
use The leg portion Of the ladder is
composed of fewer sections, but by
providing intermediate holes on each
section for the locking pins it Is capa-
BILE of the same adjustment as the
tread portion of the ladder. The usual
folding brace Is provided to hold the
leg and tread portion apart, and the
ladder is furnished with the ordinary
extension board to hold pail or the
like. The inventor of this folding lad
der is Albert Dahl Of 302 West One
Hundred and Forty y-fourth street, New
York CITY.

BLUINe OF LUMBER.
Diseoloration of the Wood Caused BY
Species of Fungi.

Species of Fungi.
The forest service has undertaken
experiments at Bogalusa, La, with the
object Of rendering lumber immune
from the attacks of bluing, thereby
stopping what at present is a serious
loss.
BIuing is due to the growth of low
forms of fungi, all of which probably
belonged to the genus ceratostomella.
This plant is too low In the scale Of
life TO produce true seeds, but as sub
stitute 1t produces microscopic organ
isms called spores, which when ripe
are carried away by the wind In count
less numbers.
The air of forests, and especially
around many lumber yards, is so in
tested with such spores that when
timber is placed in the yard to dry it
is infected with them. If the timber
happens to be moist and possesses
necessary food to support the life Of
the plant the spores Immediately ger
inmate and send little threads, or hy-
phae, into the tissues.
Their action decomposes the sap and
causes the wood to become discolored.
The deterioration in value of lumber
on account of this pest amounts to
thousands of dollars each year.

FOLDING SIZE LADDER.
May De Used on stairways With Per.
feet Security.

Painters and paperhangers often
find it necessary to use a stepladder
on a stairway or in some other incon-
venient place where the tread part Of
the ladder must be set on a different
level from the legs.
In such conditions a folding ladder
like the one here illustrated would be
found indispensable. This ladder is not
intended for the use Of decorators
alone, but is adapted for all the re-
quirements OF the household. Both the
tread portion and the supporting legs
are made in sections which may be
separately folded, as desired, to make
either side longer or shorter than the
other. When both sides are fully ex-

cuperation, confidence and prosperity I:
Ii Bryan be elected there will be acute
