E-sCooTS AND ICE-ScooTERs

Scoots and scooters are the latest
wrinkle in ice-boats. Down on the
Great South Bay, on the southern side
Of Long Island, they speak of them
In fun as "ice-water boats" The ad-
vantage in boat of this kind lies in
Its ability to sail on poor ice or to go
across water that it partly open and
frozen, as many of the bays along
the coast are at times. The scoot is
lin general in the form of a SHARPLY,
but the bottom curves up to the bow,
30 that If it is sailing on the water
and comes to the edge of an ice-hce
that is not too high out of the water
the wind will blow the boat up on the
lice, and it will sail along on it's run
iner6 at double its previous speed. In
the same manner, when it comes to
open water, it will slip off the ice
quite comfortably and become again
"a marine craft. A scoot is a cranky
boat on the ice, as the runners or
|{oreshoes are closer together than on
f n Ice-boat with a triangular frame.
Going before the wind it is all right;
but when sailing on or up into a stiff
wind, it will keep boy moving to
hold his balance and steady the boat.
The shovel-nosed scooter is an easier
boat to handle, as it is broader than
the SHARPLY; but it is not quite so
fast being slightly heavier.-From

The Household.
What is a household?

p" Adb 10 q uOub6uOlu
A household is place where ba-
bies and dust are raised, bills are con-
tracted, coal is burned, food is eaten
and occasionally auctions are held.
AS a rule, household consists of
two heads and one foot. One head is
the cook, the other the mans wife.
Every day every household is WIS.,
tied by all the trusts.
At regular intervals 1t is visited by
sickness, health. taxes and clergymen.
Nothing happens that the house
hold doesn't get its share of.
It's partner in epidemics, panics,
elections, wars, tidal waves. An
earthquake on the Pacific Coast will
be reflected in every household in
New York.
The stock market quotations are
written on the walls and ceiling and
floors of every household.
Nothing succeeds Cor fails) like a
1ousehold.-Life.

Elk Multiplying in New Hampshire.

Ragged Mountain, New Hampshire.
is the home of herd of forty-eight
elk, the only animals of the species
running wild in America east of the
Rocky Mountains. The herd from
which these animals are descended
consisted of four bulls and eight cows
which were liberated on the property
of the Ragged Mountain Fish and
Game Club in 1908, having been re-
ceived as a gift from the Blue Noun
tain Forest Association, which was
organized by the heirs of Austin Cor
bin to hold and manage an extensive
reservation for the rearing of buffalo,
elk, deer, wild boars and other game
animals. Under the law of New
Hampshire the elk are protected
throughout the year, but it is said
that two of the herd have been shot.
although the offenders have never
been brought to justice. Game en-
thusiasts say that if the herd contin-
ues to increase at the same rate in
the future as in the past, elk will be
as common in the State as red deer
now are. The animals browse upon
the evergreens, poplars and naples
of the mountains through the spring
and summer, but in late fall and win
ter venture near the village of Potter
Place, which is about thirty-fiye miles
north of Concord, being drawn to-
ward human habitations by their
search for apples and other food.
Their favorite place for sleeping in
the winter is on the tops of the high
est peaks, where they are without
shelter from rocks or trees. The
farmers are beginning to fear damage
from the big animals, some of which
stand as high as horse and weigh
about $50 pounds, and it may be that
they will make application to the
State authorities to prevent them
from injuring their crops.-Leslie's.

A Judge Advises Mothers,

BORAX, NATURES DISINFECT.
ANT, CLEANSER AND PURIFIER.

Everybody realizes the necessity of
some method of publication of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may Turk
the germ of dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the
use of disinfectants in their ordinary
sense-all of which are unpleasantly
associated with disagreeable odors,
on which are depended to kill the
contagion (Which disinfectants must
of necessity be of a more or less dan
gerous character) and must be used
for this purpose and for no other, and
in consequence kept from children
and careless handling.
There is, however, within the reach
of all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multi
tude of domestic cleansing and puri-
Tying purposeS-BoraX.
BoraX is pure, white harmless
powder coming direct from Natures
laboratory; in fact Borax has often
been called Natures Cleanser and
Disinfectant."
Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in q
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of sink, or
flushed through disease-laden drain,
cleanses and purifios it, leaving it
clean and sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in a
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, if washed in
hot solution of Borax water.
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion if Borax is
used when washing them. Pure as
snow and harmless as salt, and be-
cause it can be used for almost every
domestic and medical purpose, Borax
must be considered the one great
household necessity.

MACHINE-GRoUND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the "hand-
mixed" paint of the painter slight
ingly spoken of as "unscientific" and
mot thoroughly mixed" The facts
are all on the side of the painter and
his hand-prepared paint.
1t Is the most scientific" paint
there Is, because 1t is made on the
spot to suit the particular purpose
for which 1t is to be used. 1t is as
scientific as good doctors prescrip-
ton. If the painter did not mix it
thus 1t would be as unscientific as
patent medicine. Moreover the paint
which a good painter turns out is
made of genuine white lead and pure
linseed oil. Ii he does not mix 1t him
self he is not sure what is In It and
consequently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply a mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thoroughly
incorporated with Z or s per cent. OF
pure Linseed oil in the factory, maxi
Ing a paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make 1t ready for the brush.
The thorough Incorporation of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets it.
To know how to tell pure white
lead Is great advantage to both
painter and HORSEPOWER. National
