Partisan Paper Cans.

The street department of Paris has
a bad reputation which it does not de-
serve. Foreign visitors in particular
complain that the streets of the capital
are not kept in a state Of neatness
worthy of the City. Of Light. The fact
that the pavements of Paris are Uttered
with scraps Of paper to an extent I'M
known in London or Berlin is due, how
ever, to the permission given by the au-
thorities of Paris to distribute adver-
Using matter in the streets. An at
tempt has been made to remedy this
state of alters by placing on the boule
ward receptacles for circulars, newspa-
pers and other refuse, says the Scien-
tific American. The receptacles, which
are made of iron, are attached to the
lamp posts and contain inner vessels of
sheet iron which are periodically re-
moved and emptied. The new recep-
tacles are ornamental in appearance
and they attract the attention, Of the
public, which already condescends to
use them occasionally and will proba-
bly, do so more frequently after it has
become accustomed to them.

HIGH Culture Manifest.

Surely we are undergoing a pleas
ing development in civic life in the
matter of municipal beauty, cleanliness
and conveniences. Those places are
indeed behind the times which provide
no resting places, drinking fountains
and evidence Of community pride and
thrift. The individual may help much
toward the desired goal if he only
cleans and cares for his own premises
in proper manner. Work of this
kind, like the measles, is highly con-
tagious and soon affects the community
generally. Visitors wonder why such
a place is so much more attractive
than others similarly situated and are
unconsciously attracted and if looking
for home will not fail to consider the
live, up to date appearance when the
final decision to settle is made Tidy
up your premises and brighten the
scene with a few flowers.

ROPE VAULTING.
A Sport Which the Boys Always Find
Full of Excitement.

Or course, most of our boys know all
about high jumping and pole vaulting,
but have you ever heard of rope
vaulting?
Ali you really need is a good stout
rope, a tree limb to hang it to and
something to jump over, but it is
very much more fun to do it exactly
right
Get two boards or strips of boards.
about eight feet high. On one side
OF each of these drive small nails a.
little way into the wood, about an
inch apart, leaving the head and about
half the nail sticking out. Leave two
feet of one end Of your pole or strip of
wood free from nails.
With a sharp stake make two holes
in the ground beneath the tree limb
that is to hold your rope. Make these
holes about six feet apart ard about
Is inches deep. Now put your posts
into the holes and drive them firmly
In place with the nails pointing the
same way on both poles. Get a thin
lath or slender stick, long enough to
reach between the posts and light
enough to rest on the nails.

To Make Tint Lantern Slides.

Purchase some lantern slide plates
and fix them in hypo without exposing
in the usual manner, says the Nov
ing Picture World. This leaves a
thin, perfectly transparent emulsion
film on the glass, which will readily
take color. Mix a rather weak solu-
ton of clear aniline dye of the desired
color and dip the plate in 1t, wiping
the plate side clean. If not dark
enough, dip again and again until de-
sired tint is attained, letting it dry
between each dipping. A very light
blue tint slide will brighten a yellow
film considerably, but the tint must
be very light, just bare tint.

TOWN ADVERTISING.
Striking Way In Which Massachu-
sets Town Uses a Huge Chair.

Striking Way In Which a Massachu-
sets Town Uses Huge Chair.
Not only does it pay to advertise in
every line Of business, but self adver-
tisement is good proposition for
towns.
Gardner, Mass, busy town on the
tiptop of the highest land in Worcester
county save only the peak of Mount
Wachusett, is the biggest chairmakinG
community in the world and is known
popularity as "ChairtOwn."
1t believes in saying a good word for
itself and accordingly at the railroad
station advertises itself in characters
tic fashion by having set up 1.-The big
gest chair in the world" which stands
on concrete base in the middle of the
long lawn alongside the Boston and
Maine station platform. The chair
weighs 200 pounds and is five and a
half feet square at the base and twelve
feet high. To make this bit of furniture
there were used 800 feet of lumber.
AS bit of town advertising as well
as an indication of what's going on in
the town tits chair Is a winner, and
every one passing through Gardner is
sure to see it and to remember it.

Now climb up to the limb of the tree
and tie your rope firmly in place ON
the bough just over the center Of the
posts. The rope should reach to with
in two feet of the ground.
Now stand few feet away from the
crosspiece, spring yourself toward it,
pull yourself up the rope as high as
you can, feet first, if you know how to
do the trick, and swing yourself over
the crosspiece as the picture shows.
1t is easy enough, as you will find
when you try it, but to make a vault
seven or eight feet high-well, that is
another matter.

rope as far from the ground as DOS

In Gods World.

My heart throbs with pity
For him of the city
Whose feet never press the green sod
For he lives, with his clan,
In a world made by man
And not in the world made by God.

The fields full of clover
On carpets Of fragrance and bloom.
l would breathe the free air,
Feel the warm sunshine rare
And live where is plenty OF room.

Where meadow brooks playing
Sing melodies soothing and sweet,
Where the white daisies dip
The cool waters to sip
Or the ferns and the lichens to greet.
/ would wake to the singing
OF wild birds as, flinging
Their rapture, they mount to the sky;
To the balm on the breeze
And the music of bees
Or the katydid's neighborly cry.
My neart throbs with pity
For him of the city
Whose feet never press the green sod,
For he lives, with his clan,
In a world made by man.
I'd live in world made by God.

A TRUE FRIEND.
Touching Story of Dog That Grieved
for His Dead Master.


During the French revolution a very
good man was thrown into prison and
condemned to die. This man had a
dog, water spaniel, who was most
faithful to the man while he was at
home, and when the man left his
Of course he was refused admittance
so he went to a neighbours house,
where he boarded and lodged, but this
time was spent sitting in front OF the
prison door. His faithful watch at
length won over the jailer, who al
lowed him to enter the dark place and
enjoy an hour with his master. After
that he was allowed his hours pleas
ure until the day the master was led
to execution. The mans only true
friend, the dog, walked to the burial
place and never rested until he saw
the man laid away and then he laid
himself over the grave where he re-
manned for three days. The neighbor
at whose house the animal sought
lodging enticed him home after the
third day of watch and made him eat,
but the dog escaped an hour later
and again sought the burial place.
Three months passed. Each day the
dog went to the neighbours for food,
and then back to his place of watch.
but each day he was more sad, more
lean and more languishing. They even
chained him to keep him at home, but
he broke his letters, escaped and
never left it again. At the grave of
his master this true friend breathed
his last.

factions, rival tribes or different races,
as is evidenced by the defensive posi-
tons picked out by the more peace
able inhabitants for their dwellings.
In nearly every one of the ancient
communal buildings can be found tow
ers and lookouts, with small windows
or loopholes commanding all ap-
proaches. Usually the towers are a
part of the main building, but occa-
sionally they are detached and stand
of at some distance, and are built suf-
ficiently high to afford view of the
country on all sides.
One of these remarkable structures
has been found in the Navajo canyon,
which is included within the Mesa
Verde National park, in southwestern
Colorado. The tower still stands on
top of a sandstone cone about 80 feet
high and is perfectly cylindrical By
the aid of steps worn in the stone it is
possible to climb to the tower and
even to walk around it. The walls are
"a inches thick, and although their
original height is not known, those
now in place are often nine feet high
This tower, arising from the bottom of
the canyon to an elevation above the
surrounding rim commanded a view
of the adjacent mesa and was un-
doubtedly the viewpoint from which
warnings of an approaching enemy
could be sent out to the cliff jewellers
in the canyon beyond.
