Rread and Gloves.

aDid you ever notice that the man
who brings bread to this place always
wears heavy gloves?" asked the regn-
lar boarder at the hashery in address
ing his guest.
.eNo; I don't get here often enough to
notice it, answered his friend.
.eWell, you see him now. he always
wears gloves. especially in handling
rye bread"
sYes?"
"It,,s q fact. Maybe you would not
believe me If I told you that he is
more apt to get his hands torn and cut
than / am working at machinery all
day."

"I never have learned the real cause.

The Very Simple Life.

Pierre Lott. the French author, al
ways did like Il practical joke. A
French poet who had been advocating
a return to the simple life decided one
day to rake the acquaintance of Lott.
He left his village. he who never trav-
els. stick in hand. to make the jour
ney to .1endaye. the home Of Lott. on
foot. He prayed the celebrated novel
list to receive him without ceremony:
that he should be satisfied with q
bowl of milk for his repast.
But he was much astonished wben
the novelist took him at his word. In
the dining room on a table without
cloth or napkin there was only an i'm
mense crock of milk.
The visitor showed some hesitation
about beginning the feast. Meanwhile
his host began to walk around the
room like a bear in a cage, only inter-
rupting his walk from time to time to
take Il long swig Of milk from the
crock. Without saying a word the host
invited the astonished guest to initiate
him.
The nan of the simple life had found
one more simple than himself, and he
left the house convinced that the great
novelist. had become crazy.

cotnrfno1Bi,iiard Balls Red.

aalTteE SSISEttNS
It often happens that red billiard
bans nu, vi les, roIDpietely lose their
color and then present q disagreeable
appearance. But nothing is easier than
to restore their original color. 70 do
this dissolve some dried sorrel, after
having pounded and sifted it to assure
solution, in a small quantity Of wates
placed in a porcelain capsule large
enough to take q billiard bail. Heat
this liquid till it is tepid only and add
as a mordant about ten drops of sui
phuric acid. Put the ball to be col
ored in the capsule and leave it there
about three-quarters of an hour on the
corner Of a stove. the temperature not
being allowed to exceed from 40 de-
grees to so degrees g. At the end of
that time take it away from the fire
and let it cool.
The operation is complete in from
two to three hours. Care must be
taken to turn the billiard ball from
time to time. so that it may be colored
all over. for the coloring matter is de
posted, and the part Of the ball at the
bottom would be too deeply colored.
When the ball Is withdrawn from
the liquid it only requires wiping and
then rubbing strongly with q wooden
rag to make it brilliant again. 1t may
be further polished by means of cham
dis leather impregnated with colco-
