treated, rising upon his toes and
coming down on his heels with a

Giving Him Away.

And there was Il certain man
who, being merchant with a trade
to look after, was a member OF the
church-in fact, an elder therein.
One day he invited his pastor home
to dinner, and, while they sat in the
parlor waiting for the call to table,
he began to tell of brother elders
misconduct and grievous sin.
81 only tell you this because you
are the pastor, and think you
ought to know it. / never mention
it to any one else"
And he repeated this several
times during the recital. AS it was
about completed in came his little
daughter. Catching the subject Of
the conversation, she broke in with
this exclamation:
taIy goodaess. pa, you're surely
not telling that old story again.

Thu Air In n Room.

Given a medium sized sitting
room with four people and two gas
jets, the air must be changed every
fifty minutes to keep it pure. As
air is heated it expands and becomes
lighter per cubic foot. If all the
air is heated equally it remains at
rest after expansion, but if hot air
is in the presence Of cold air the
latter, by reason of its heaviness,
forces its way down and drives the
hot air up. The moving force OF
air currents is the greater weight
Of the colder air. This, then, is the
force by which we are to drive out
foul air and put pure air in its place.
Pure external air will always drive
out foul air if you give it a chance.

A SCRAP BOOK.
To Be Useful II Must Be Arranged
With System.

The scrap book habit, provided it
is not carried to excess, is invalua-
Die. For reference nothing takes
its place, as it has an advantage
over other compilations of informa-
ton that it is usually formed along
lines that peculiarly appeal to the
owner.
A scrap book to be useful must
be arranged with system. A hodge
podgc of information defeats the
purpose of the book. 1t is well to
have smaller books than are usually
used both because they are more
easily handled and because a scrap
book is more valuable if it treats Of
but one class Of subjects.
Be careful in selecting a scrap
book that it opens out fiat and is
well bound. 1t is a mistake to get
one with a flimsy cover or poor pa
per that crinkles with FASTING.
Many books ready mucilaged can
now be bought, but these are more
expensive than ordinary kinds and
sometimes fail to stick.
A good photographers paste is
the best medium; mucilage is sticky
and not lasting and -four paste
sours. Have a broad brush to APP
ply the paste and put in on thinly
enough not to get lumpy.
There will be less danger of pages
sticking together if, after clipping
is pasted in, a thick paper or piece
of muslin is put over it and pressed
with a moderately hot iron. This
makes the pages look neater and
flatter.
Even where book is devoted to
one class of subjects the clippings
should be grouped in subdivisions,
and an index should be placed in
the front of the book. If the scrap
book is not alphabeted and PACED,
it should be done by hand. The
alphabeting may be omitted, but the
paging never.
1t saves much time in making a
scrap book if each clipping is care
fully trimmed as it is cut out. 1t
should be pasted at once; to let it
lie around for some convenient time
means to lose it possibly or to have
the edges curl so that it is doubly
hard to paste.
There should be a censorship OF
clippings though it is self imposed.
1t is not worth while to cumber the
book with information which has
no definite value or is of only pass
ing interest. To cut out every
thing one reads that attracts for the
moment is to cumber oneself with
clippings valueless by their number.

A Rule Of Thumb.

The thumb is a guide to knowl-
edge of the mental condition Of the
owner. He who is in full possession
of all his faculties makes use of the
thumb, but whenever there is a
tendency to insanity this generally
useful and active member falls out
Of work. A physician in charge of
lunatic asylum states positively
that if you see a person whose
thumb remains Misunderstanding
at right angles and taking no part
in the act of writing, salutation or
any other manual exercise - you
may be sure that he has a diseased
mind. He may talk intelligently
and appear sane in every respect,
but undoubtedly tinge of madness
is lurking within his brain.-Ex-

This lifting power, which is gem
Grated at will by the operator, is ap-

height can be attained without the

Tails and fans, fore and aft, will give
