Noisy Nuisances.

IIl-fittfng doors and windows rep
resent happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact, so annoying
does the constant rattle of these open
tngs become that many determined in
dividuals, who resolve to admit the
fresh air, choose the lesser of two
evils and close the openings in prefer
ence to sleepless nights. This can be-
remedied If small wedge of wood
be driven In at the side of an open
window; door can be prevented
from rafting If pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom of
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be we'll oiled, while the grating, irri-
tating noise of sewing machine can
be overcome in a similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa
thence that is required for other
things. It were foolish to dfsstpate
energy through the channels of irri-
tated nerves when a little time will
obyiate the nuisances.

Expert Carpenter Gives Some Point
ers as to This Seemingly Simple
Proceeding.

1T takes an apprentice a full year
to learn that he does not know how to
drive nail" said an expert carpenter
when once he has realized this it is
only a matter of few minutes to
learn how it should be done. The
commonest mistake is the belief that
hard blow with the hammer is more
effective than several little taps, and
the learner is inclined to admire the
man who drives nail all the way in
with but one blow. This is where he
is wrong; four or five blows are much
better than one. The reason Is that
one hard blow inevitably makes the
nail rebound, ever so slightly, 1t is
true, but enough to make it hold less
firmly than it would IL driven in
gradually The nail may be driven
almost all the way with one blow, but
several lighter taps are necessary to
finish the Job.

Michael keenIy Surmised Possibilities

Late one afternoon Michael F1anni-

"Moike," asked O'Rourke, why don't

He did not read the details of the
accident. He merely noted the place
where it occurred Then he folded
the paper and gave his order for
breakfast. # he ate little, no one
knew it. He took plenty Of time for
it. He listened to the discussion of
the accident that went on as the
boarders, one after another, came in
to breakfast.
When he left the house he knew
that he had exactly half an hour TO
report his absence at the office and
catch the east-bound express. It was
more than enough. He did not want
to be alone and think. He saw before
him long years in which he would
have time to think. To-day he must
go to her. He might be needed He
had said that he would come If she
needed him, and that he should see
her soon-"l shall see you soon. :"

and tossed them back to him. They
reiterated with clanking monotony-

roar, between the shrieks OF the en-
CINE, in the midst of the conversation
around him, he heard them with aw-
full distinetness, and wondered vague
