Many Uses of Sand.

The sands of the sea are sfnguiari9 useful. They are of primary impor- tance in glassmaking. They have an important place in warfare, as q bank of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rifle shots. The cleo trical properties of sand show that il has positive electricity. although rod of silica. the chief constituent of sand. Is negative.
 The singular drying effect which oc- CUTS when a stretch of wet sand IS pressed by the foot is due entirely t. an alteration in the piling of the sand grains. Normally the grains are close together. but abnormal piling is brought about by pressure of the foot the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away If the pressure Of the foot is continued the sand becomes wetter than ever. the partial vacuum quickly bringing water from the sur rounding sand.
 In auicksand the moving character is thought to be due to the imprison- ment between the grains of gases from organic matter. Chicago Tribune.

When visitors came, Bobby was often turned out of his room and into the garret for a night or two. He did not object to this, but he felt that it endangered certain cherished posses sions When his uncle. the clergy. man, arrived unexpectedly one night Bobby was transferred to his garret quarters in haste and with small cere- mony. and neglected to take any pre-. cautions to guard his treasures.

THE sTEEPLE JACK.
He Must Conquer Many Difficulties iW
 His Dangerous Work.

He Must Conquer Many Difficulties M
 His Dangerous Work.
 The successful steeple jack must possess determination. perseverance, and ingenuity. He must solve nl1ay practical problem in hoistine great bodies aloft. He must know how to fasten a hook over the summit of skyscraping chimney. He must have the nerve to paint steeple that sways like a pendulum at the slender top. He must be able to tear down, build up. eild. paint, place electric wires and do many another task that would be difficult enough on the solid earth.
 There are many ways of getting up on a steeple, and when all others fail the man will tie rope around 1t and then, with a coil on his back, walk round and round it until the entire steeple is covered with rope, and in such case he has probably been round 1t fully 300 times.
 But a steeple is not the most diff cult height to climb. Straight, tall chimneys are the hardest of all. There a man has to work with might and main to lift himself inch by inch from the ground to the top. Sometimes the top is 300 feet high. When it is reach ed a hook is placed over the edge, a pulley is made fast, the swinging chair is hauled up and work begins.
 When the chair is near the top 1t Is easier to work, because the ropes are short, but when they lengthen as the ground is approached there is ten dency to swing, and the wind gives impetus.
 The steeple jacks safety depends upon the hook, and until he has raised himself almost to the top it is impos- sible for him to see whether or not the hook has been properly adjusted More than once a steeple climber has seen when within ten feet of the top that corrosion of the iron and the col lection of soot have so thickened the wall that the hook is merely balancing on the top, so that the slightest pull in the wrong direction would drag it off. Again, the bricks are often loose at the top, and the hook is likely to tear them away.
 One of the natural difficulties to con quer is the swaying of all high stee- pies and chimneys. In gale steeple point will sway foot and a half. Usually 1t sways from seven to nine inches. Painting it means reaching for spot on the right side, and find ing 1t on the left, and, when making a dive for it on the left, to see it sway back to the right. Yet in spite of the constant danger born steeple jack ex: ults in his work and is at home, like the ironworker on the skyscraper, only when high above the world. He can stand triumphantly at any height. if he can have two and one-half square inches to bear his weight.-Harpers Weekly

 Then" said the crocodile; "by ouI agreement l shall keep him, for if you have told the truth I am not going to give him back. and if it is lie have also won."
 But the mother said. If l told you the truth you are bound by your prom ise. and if it is not the truth it will no; be lie until you have given me my child"

MERCIFUL CAESAR.
A Story of the Great Roman and
 Band of Pirates.

A Story of the Great Roman and a
 Band of Pirates.
 Caesar travelled with the retinue of man of rank, and on his way tc Rhodes he fell in with an adventure which may be something more than legend. When he was crossing the Aegean, his vessel is said to have been taken by pirates. They carried him to Pharmacusa, an island off the Ca rian coast, which was then in their possession, and there he was detained for six weeks with three of his attend ants, while the rest of his servants were sent to the nearest Roman sta tion to raise his ransom.
 The pirates treated him with polite ness. He joined in their sports, played games with them, looked into their habits and amused himself with them as we'll as he could. frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged.
 The ransom, very large one, about f10,0O0, was brought and paid, Caesar was set upon the mainland. near Mi letus, where, without moments delay, he collected some armed vessels, returned to the island, seized the whole crew while they were dividing their plunder and took them away to Pergamus, the seat of government in the Asiatic province, where they were convicted and crucifed. Clemency was not Roman characteristic. It was therefore noted with some surprise that Caesar interceded to mitigate the severity of the punishment. The poor wretches were strangled before they were stretched on the crosses and were spared the prolongation of their torture.-James Anthony Froude.

The young man who had spent his efforts for several yaars without re- suit in studying art was talking with his practical uncle. who had patiently paid the bills.
 "Of course" said the young artist "I know I haven't made much of go of 1t. but don't think you ought to ad- wise me to try something else. You know it's best to put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket
 'Um! That may be. Charlie: but did you ever think how foolish it is to put so many baskets around one ban tam egg?"

 Liddy was sleeping the sleep Of the just when I went upstairs, and hunted out my things cautiously. The detective was waiting in the hall, and I was astonisheG to see Dr. stewart with him.

We went across the fields, passing through the woods that reached almost to the ruins of the stable, going over stiles now and then, and sometimes step ping over low fences. Once only somebody spoke, and then 1t was an emphatic bit of profanity from pr Stewart when he ran into wire fence.
 We were joined at the end of live minutes by another man, who fell mo step with the doctor silently. He car ried something over his shoulder which 1 could not make out. In thls way we walked for perhaps 20 minues.
 The doctor was pulling somewhat when we finally came to halt. con fess that just at that minute even Sunnyside seemed a cheerful spot. we had paused at the edge Of q leVe. cleared place, bordered all around with primly trimmed evergreen trees. Between them 1 caught glimpse or stsrlight shining down on rows ol white headstones and an occasiohal more imposing monument or towering shaft In spite of myself, l drew my breath in sharply.

Fifty is a splendid time for youthful expansion; ones fancy still retains all it's ingenuity while ones judgment Is bettered by experience.

Gather Up the Fragments

The best historical example ot economy is given ug in the miracle or the loaves and fishes. There were gathered up of the fragments twelve baskets full" We learn here the dig nifty of economy.
 Far too often the food that would preserve life is made to feed the kitchen fire Bits of butter loft on the butter plates is often mussy looking. but perfectly good to use in cooking. A tablespoonful of cream or hall a cupful of milk may be put into the mashed potato rather than the garb- age pail
 All cold mashed potatoes should bo saved for croquettes or puffs. One cupful will make six croquettes or a good-siZed puff.
 Much of the wastefulness in tho kitchen is from want of knowledge Rice water. for example, may not be known as nourishiug. If the water In which rise is cooked is allowed to cool it makes a jelly, digestible and strengthening Such water is an addi- ton to any soup stock and should never be thrown away.
 Bits of fat may be tried out and used in many ways in the cooking. Even mt eon and lamb fat may be saved for healing chapped hands and making soap.
 When one remembers the countless uses for bread crumbs. one marveis that they are ever discarded as worth less
 Another point in providing for .. family is the wastefulness of large amounts. It Is not a proof of liberal ity to have large quantities of left over food; 1t Is rather lack of manage ment. Have just enough.
 Water in which vegetables have been boiled, except potato and asparagus water, should be saved for the basis | of soups.
 A cupful of cold boiled rice may be added to breakfast mullins or wRffies, making them lighter, more easily di- gested and more palatable.
 The half cup of peas left from to days dinner may be used in an escai | loped dish for tomorrow's luncheon or supper.
 When using little onion for season ing, leave the peeling on and turn ths cut side down on plate; it will keep fresh for a week with this treatment
 Economy and forethought stand as the first of domestic duties.

Once, indeed-but MT. Jamieson said it was an owl, and I tried to believe him.
 In the shadow of the Armstrong granite shaft we stopped I think the doctor wanted to send me back.
 It's no place for woman" I heard him protesting angrily But the de tective said something about wit nesses, and the doctor only came over and felt my pulse
 Anyhow. l don't believe you're any worse off here than you would be in that nightmare of house." he said finally, and put his coat on the steps of the shaft for me to sit on.
 There is a sense of dissertation, of a reversal of the everlasting fitness of things, in resurrecting a body from it's mother clay And yet that night, in the Casanova ehurchyard. l sat quiet ly by, and watched Alex and MT. Jamieson steaming over their work, without a single qualm, except the fear of detection.
 The doctor kept a keen lookout, but no one appeared Once in a while he came over to me, and gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
 T never expected to come this" he said once. There's one thing sure I'll not be suspected of complicity. A doctor is generally supposed to be handler at burying folks than at dig ging them up."
