Touching Gratitude.

A golfer who has pretty high opin-
ion of his own ability as a master of
the game was playing a match one
day when he noticed the ragged condi-
ton of his caddie. Rather touched by
this, he gave the boy something to get
some food with and promised him
suit Of old clothes. Later, hearing
about dependent mother, he sent the
old lady a stock of provisions and
small sum Of money. The lad was
very grateful indeed for all this kind
ness. and, with his eyes trimming
with tears, he tried one day to say
something BETTING the occasion.
"Please, SIR he began, and then
he halted.
"Oh, that's all right, my boy" said
the benefactor cheerily. Say moth
ing. Be a good lad, that's ALL"
Then the caddie could no longer re-
strain himself. The kindly thought
which lay at the bottom Of his heart
broke through.
"Please, sir" he cried, "Pm sorry
you're such bad player!

Stannerina the Lecturer.

In an English village schooroom last
winter a lecturer from neighboring
town was holding forth on matters as
Economical. His audience was inclin-
ed to be skeptical, and there was quite
q flutter when the lecturer spoke Of
the distance between the earth and
the moon.
"That feller's a fule," whispered the
village wiseacre to his next door neigh
Dor, "and Awll prove it when 'e's done
spouting!'
Accordingly when the lecture came
to an end the old villager rose to his
feet and declared his intention Of TAX
ing q question"
very well; fire away" smiled the
lecturer.
"Wot Aw wants to know is, How far
Is IL frae here to n. 2" mentioning the
name of another little village at some
distance.

tort. Then hoo mony tonnes has ia

soap na a MEDICINE.

"When was boy" said the old
man, "they often made me take little
soap as a medicine. 1t did me good.
Soap was prescribed in the village
for cramps, for sick headache, for a
half dozen complaints. The people ad
mitted that it was nauseous dose, but
on the other hand they pointed to its
efficacy
"When l was taken down my mother
would cut from the cake of yellow
soap in the kitchen chunk about as
big as chestnut.
"Now, sonny she would say, 'swal.
Ter this and she'd hold the yellow NOR
sci in thumb and forefinger close to my
lips.
I'D begin to whimper The smell OF
1t and the idea of the lather that would
form in my mouth-the lather I'd have
TO swallows-would fill me with despair.
But my neither was memorable. With
stiff lips I'd take the soap into my
mouth, I'd chew the soft and slippery
stuff little and then, with groan
and a dreadful gulp, I'd swallow it.
Horrors
"Horrors!" said the old man, smiling.
81 can still taste those doses of soap
that were so common in the village in
my boyhood."

SPECTACLE LENSES.
How the Glasses Are Ground, Polish

How the Glasses Are Ground, Polish
ed and Finished.
In the manufacture of spectacle
lenses the bit of glass to be formed
into lens is fastened by means of
pitch to a small block of hard rubber,
so that it may be held. 1t Is ground
by being pressed against rapidly re-
spindle and with curvature equal and
opposite to that desired in the lens.
This is the trough tool and is kept
moistened with emery and water Sew
eral grades of emery are used in Sue
cession, changing from coarse to fine
as the grinding proceeds.
The glass is then transferred to the
fine tool" made of brass, and COM
pared from time to time to a standard
curve in order to insure accuracy. In
this second grinding the abrading ma
terial is rough.
Finally the lens is polished by being
pressed against a piece of cloth pow
dered with rouge and fastened to the
rotating tool. The glass is now loos-
ened from its block. turned over and
the reverse side of the lens ground.
When this has been accomplished the
lens is placed on leather cushion end
held firmly in position by rubber
tipped arm while a diamond glass cut
ter passing round an oval guide traces
similar oval on the glass below. The
superfuous glass is removed by steel
pinchers and the rough edges are
ground smooth on Scotch wheels. -

The Kettledrum In Music.

In a lecture delivered at the Royal
Society of Arts By Gabriel Cleather
on the Musical Aspect of Drums" 1t
was contended that the kettledrum
was one of the few perfect instru-
ments in the orchestra, owing to the
exactness of its scale. The kettledrum,
he contended, was perfectly compe-
tent to produce atmosphere as well as
rhythm. Even to tune the instrument
three things were required-a perfect
musical ear, fine sense of touch and
five years experience. After playing
over kettledrum melody, written
eighty years ago, from Meyerbeer's
Robert lie Diable," Mr.. Cleather con-
tinued, II venture to say that, outside
the musical profession, not one person
in hundred of those who listen to an
orchestra in England today knows that
tympani have notes and can give out
a melody" No instrument, he added,
had greater range of power than the
