wall is not always thoroughly under
stood, so bad-looking streaks follow
the first washing. A tinting material
should be used that has no glue in it
and does not need glue size on the
wall This natural cement is applied
directly to the plaster, and is then
covered with a water enamel, which
Is given a coat of varnish when dry.
With such treatment the wall can be
washed down whenever necessary.
The cost is comparatively little more
than ordinary tinting, depending nat
ural1y upon the size of the room. For
use in a schoolroom care should be
taken that the tint is light enough to
make a cheerful room and not absorb
color in a way to injure young eyes.
| A warm yellow or light green, almost
Nile, is, either one, an excellent
| choice.
To Fill Lamps.-If the oil for the
lamps is kept in a five-gallon can in
the porch, set it upon a shelf breast
high. Then the lamps can be held di
rectly under the faucet to be filled. II
will save much in the way of an ach
| ing back and tired hands, and pos
sibly leaking oil If the lamps are
kept on the same shelf, keep cleaning
cloths and scissors hanging below the
shelf. Save the paper bags and slip
one over each chimney after cleaning
so as to protect them from flies. Ii
the lamps burn badly and give out q
disagreeable smell, take them apart
put them in the wash boiler with g
spoonful or two of soda and boil for ar
| hour

An Absurd Expression.

DR.. W. J. Garrett writes to the Lon.
don Saturday Review protesting
against the phrase by the skin of my
teeth" as recently used by a we'll.
known court official in one of his pub
lie addresses. DR.. Garrett points out
that these words SO generally used
are not only misquotation, but per.
version of the meaning conveyed in
the poem by the true text. Reference
to the Book of Job, 1920, will show
the protagonist as made to say, not,
I am escaped by the skin of my teeth,
but with the skin, meaning, not I
have escaped with great difficulty but
destitute of everything l possessed,
just as the teeth are destitute of
skim" Dr. Garrett concludes: 1.-THE
latter is appropriate and forcible, the
former an absurd metaphor, and it is
high time it were relegated to the
same category as creating a Franken-
stein and similar corrupt texts"

sideboards are made in large guam
titles, perhaps SO or 100 of the same
design being brought through at once,
SO that the completed article may be
bought much cheaper than it could
possibly be made by hand in the
house, and the work is much better
done.
The sideboard is shipped in the
nock-down, each piece being careful
ly fitted and numbered SO the earpen-
ter can put it together quickly in the
niche prepared for it in the double
partition between the dining room and
the kitchen. These sideboards usu-
ally are large and roomy and the cost
is much less in proportion to its ca
pacity than piece of movable furni-
ture, and the convenience and decora-
tive feature is much more pleasing.
The same idea is carried out in
building factory-made stairs. Facto-
ries are now turning out designs in
open stair work that go together in
| the same way and fit lengthWise in

near the ceiling or down at the floor,
Or both, as desired. They are de,
signed to fit carefully SO the top

| The time is near at hand when we
shall go through the house in this
way. Each room will have something
in it that is factory made, so that
the problem of the architect and the
carpenter and the factory are becom
ing more intimately connected and

Then and Now, &

Thirteen years ago Republican
newspapers and campaign speak
ers were worried to death for fear
the dear people would vote for
"50-cent dollars" They didn't,
and the terrible calamity which
threatened the country was SEEM
ingly sverted But without voting
for them, the dear people have,
nevertheless, had 80 cent dollars
thrust upon them. The great Re-
publican, sound money, 100-cent
dollar of this year Of 1909 is worth
just what 50-cent piece was In
1896. That is, it will purchase
what 80 cents would purchase IL
years ago. The cost of the neces-
sites of life, has increased 49.1
per cent since 1895. 1t takes 81
to buy today what 81 would have
bought ID years ago. Have the
wage earners' earnings doubled in
these IL years? Are the clerks,
the bookkeepers and the hundreds
of thousands of employees on
monthly or weekly salaries getting
twice the money every month OF
every week as they did 13 years
ago? Unless their earnings are
doubled they are worse off than
they were then. They are receiv.
