An Electric Ink Eraser.

A craftsman seldom has the pa
itence to erase an ink line from trac-
ing cloth properly If the eraser is
operated with too much pressure, the
cloth is married. The proper method
is to operate the eraser with 4 light
but quick motion. Recently an elec--
trically driven eraser has been invent
ed, consisting Of a small motor pro-
vided with flexible shaft which car
ries circular eraser at it's outer end.
In order to clean the eraser of par
ticles of ink which it picks up, clean
ing rubber is provided, which bears
lightly against the erasing rubber.

Reflection Of Mirrors,

Mirrors that are made of glass have
metal placed on one side of the glass.
The light will pass through the glass,
but will not pass through the metal
backing. Light has the property Of
bounding from surface that 1t can
not penetrate, the same as ball
would when thrown against surface
that it can not penetrate. The light
passes through the glass of the mir
ror, meets the metal backing, and then
bounds from it. This bounding of the
light from the metal surface is called
reflection, and mirrors are said to re-
f1ect.-St. Nicholas.

Novel Dress Mendinq.

A novel way of mending silk or
wooden dress in which hole has been
torn, and where only a patch could
remedy matters, is the following: The
frayed portions around the tear should
be carefully smoothed, and piece of
the material, moistened with very thin
mucilage, placed under the hole. A
heavy weight should be put upon 1t
until it Is dry, when it is only posi-:
BILE to discover the mended place by
careful observation.

Get Electric tiQht With Coin.

The authorities of the village Of
Jocketa, in Saxony, recently installed
electric light in the streets. The light
is cut of at 1900 p. M, when it is
supposed everybody is in bed.
The authorities, however, discov-
cred number of clubmen who were
"afraid to 60 home in the dark" and
who kicked about having the lights
extinguished at eleven. To meet their
demands the authorities have attached
penny-in-the-slot devices to the light
poles.
A tired clubman going home in the
dark after eleven can now tumble his
way to an electric light pole, drop a
penny in the slot and light his way
home. II he lives far from his club

New Application Of Electricity.

An eminent firm of German electrf
clans claim to have devised an ap-
paratus by which an electric current.
of the character useu for the purpose
of healing internal disorders, may be
applied locally.
The inventors say that while the.
current produces no detrimental con-
sequences to the patient in other re-
spects, it may be applied to diseased
organ with good results.
1t is alleged further, on it's behalf.
that the current, directed to any part
of the body on which it is intended to-
operate. would produce sterilization
and thus prevent blood poisoning.

To Clean AiQrettes.

The easiest and best way to clean
aigrettes is to lay aigrettes on a towel
and take soft complexion brush, wet
with warm water and white soap; rub
lightly, the way Of the feather, until
feather is clean, and rinse in warm
water and hang in a cool breeze. It
will take from two to four hours for
them to thoroughly dry.

Quail In CITY Lots,

A large number of quails are making
their homes and feeding grounds in
the gardens of Bedford and are to be
found there, especially at night It Is
thought that they take refuge in the
gardens for safety from hawks, one Of
their most relentless enemies, as the
hawks are about as plentiful as quails
in the country districts.
The quails have become very tame.
w. F. Molloy, a travelling salesman of
Cincinnati, caught two qua1ls as they
flew up to him in the courthouse park.
About many homes the qua1ls may be
heard calling bob white every morn.

Electricity Displaces Gasoline.

The old-style gasoline lights which
have been used In Central park are
to be displaced with 1,400 or more
than twice as many electric lamps.
A very artistic lamp pose has been
designed for the new lamps. One OF
the objections to the gasoline lamps
was the fact that the leakage of the
oil ruined the grass around these
lamp posts. Furthermore, the lamp
lighters did much damage by making
short cuts through the flower beds
along their routes from one lamp to
another.

Meat Prices Reduced

Since the election the prices of meats
Of all kinds have dropped at Chicago
from three to five cents a pound. The
decrease has not yet reached this vicinity
but it is supposed that it will shortly be
due here. This will be great relief to
the people of the entire country, for one
of the greatest problems that has con-
fronted the working man. and the man
receiving a moderate salary. has been
to supply his family with good. whole
some meats at the prices fixed by the
meat trust. The drop in the prices,
however, should not be permitted to re-
main at Chicago, but the consumers all
over the country should have the bene-
fit of the reduced prices.
Different ones attribute the reductions
to various causes. Some say that the
shortage of hay has forced the cattle on
the market and has made the cost of
keeping them too high however, this
would hardly seem to be good reason,
as the increased cost of such food sup
ply should have a tendency to make
prices higher. Another well-known au-
thority, DIR. Wiley, attributes the de-
crease to trick, stating that the pack
ers have only temporarily lowered the
prices. Senator Owen, of Oklahoma,
states that it is due to the Democratic
victory that the beef barons see in
this victory the revolt of the people
against the method of the Republican
party Of giving protection to the trusts,
and they realize that public sentiment
Is SO strong against such methods that
they fear real prosecution, which might
disclose not only unsavory methods,
but might land some of the members of
the trusts in the penitentiary. The real
scare Of the trusts, it appears, over the
Democratic victory, is that they may be
punished for some of their violations of
the laws of the country.
The price of meats, clothing and many
other articles can we'll afford to be re-
duced, as well as the governments ex-
penses, and this is the kind of relief for
which the people are looking.
