Many a Woodworking housewife
could ease her labors greatly. as well
as save the cost of ice and the fuel
used in melting it. did she understand
little more about the cleansing of
hard water. 1t is true that the Job can
be done after a fashion with washing
powders. but much more satisfactory
results are had by using one of the
several brands of pure concentrated
I've. Well water varies in hardness
that is, in the amount of lime it con-
tains-from nearly soft to very hard,
and the only way to find out how hard
it is and how much lye win be re-
quired to cleanse or soften a given
amount of it is by doing a little expert
menting. The way the water acts with
soap gives a good general idea. A level
spoonful of powdered I've dissolved in
little warm water and stirred in win
cleanse six pals of quite hard water.
Should the water be softer a half
level tablespoonful of I've may be tried
on the same amount of water. If after
the lime precipitate has thoroughly
settled an application of soap to a lit
tie of the cleansed water imparts
milky color. this is evidence that not
quite enough I've has been added.
When the amount of I've required for
cleansing given amount of water has
been determined, future testing of the
water will not be necessary. as the
water will usually continue quite uni
form in the amount of lime it contains.
The water will cleanse the more rap
idly if 1t is warmed slightly.

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING.

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING.
While spring blowing may be pref
cradle to fall blowing in some sections
where small grain follows a titled crop,
the benefits of fall blowing are such
that it should be followed in far larger
measure than at present. One of the
chief Of these is the disintegrating and
mellowing action of the frost, rain and
snow during the winter months-a
benefit, by the way, that is too often
overlooked. A second advantage of
fall blowing not rightly valued by
those unacquainted with the habits of
many insect pests is that during the
fall and winter months the worst foes
of the farm crops = the cutworms,
white grubs. wireworms. corn root
worms, corn ear worms and corn root
lice-are in the dormant or pupal
stage, and blowing the ground after
they are nicely housed against the cold
weather not only covers many of them
so deep that they never come to light.
but exposes others so that they fall
victims to their bird enemies or die
from exposure to the cold. Moreover
If the land is fall plowed it is possible
TO work it with the disk much earlier
the next spring. which will sprout and
kiln myriads of weeds.

Where courtfne is Dangerous.

Four young men have been shot at
Vex (Valais) by an irate father to
whose daughter they had come to pay
court, says the London Express They
were refused admission to the house,
and when they tried to force their
way in the father took down his gun
and fired. Two of them were slight.
ly wounded and the other two serious,
ly. The father was arrested.
The encounter and its almost tragic
ending were due to ancient custom
which prevails in the villages of the
canton of Valais and in the Alpine
hamlets of the German cantons. After
a girl has reached the age of eighteen
her parents are not surprised to re,
ceive the visit of several young men
after the days work to ask to see
their daughter and pass a pleasant
evening in the family circle. The
visit is looked on as a compliment,
and as the young men bring with
them wines and food they are gen
orally welcomed by the parents. The
custom, which is known as Veillee,
results in introductions and often in
marriages.

NO CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM
Large Number Of Defective School
Children an Old Phenomenon,
Now More Evident.

The enormous number Of defective
school children should not alarm US
too greatly. Bad as 1t all is, there IL
plenty Of evidence that 1t Is an old,
old phenomenon-as old indeed as
man himself-but now more evident
because there are more people. 1t is
less in rural districts, though still
present. and IS the population is now
largely urban. it is quite natural that
the proportion Of detectives should
increase, though as q matter of fact
there is no evidence that 1t has, Big
cities are modern affairs and that is
why their phenomens are being dis
covered, but the accounts Of London
some centuries ago showed a deplor-
able number Of detectives, probably
far greater in proportion than in New
York now. Though 1t is appalling
that there should be nearly a quarter
million diseased school children. vet
the defects are of minor things, while
formerly they were severe. The seat
of most Of the trouble is said to be
malnutrition. but 1t is not nearly SO
bad as in European cities of the last
century. That is. the new facts must
not cause undue pessimism. but rath-
er the reverse. for they show that
though there is an immense preven-
tive work ahead Of us, the progress
made in a century or even a half cen
tury has been enormous Optimism
Is in place, even If we are sure that
perfection is unattainable. Moreover.
our preventive work is rapidly becom-
ing more and more efficient now that
We are learning the exact conditions
and their causes.-American Medi-

Perhaps no one man in town knows

practical in his methods of giving

beaten wife to need any necessity of

he doesn't always go about his phil

How can we give this coal to those

are not being imposed upon?" Robert
Fulton Cutting once asked of Butler,

His Brood Diminished.

little group of commuters on the

New York Tribune. Three of the party
board the trs1n at one station and
keep the place and a deck OF cards

Man and the Crowd,

An address once made by President
Schurman to the graduating class at
Cornell was an eloquent appeal for
the individual against the crowd
Would you abolish poverty, would
you advance civilization" he asked
Then educate individuals one by one
to be more virtuous, more intelligent
more skillful, more Industrious
Upon the soundness of the plea
there will be general agreement. It
is but a new statement Of the philos,
ophy of Jesus that each man should
take care of his own soul. But it is a
creed that has been much more sue,
cesfully taught on lonely farms and
pastures than in universities.
Still. the creed is good one to
teach. 1t can never be taught toe
often. Better than all laws against
vice and crime and folly is an i'm,
pulse toward self-reform. And per
haps such an impulse was never more
needed than now, for never was the
voice of the crowd more clamorous
nor the influence of the crowd more
potent. He that can make sure of his
own thought amid its noises is a phil
osopher. He that can stand against
its power is a hero.-New York

SHARP REPARTEE OF GILBERT
Famous Librettist Always Would Get
the Better of the Actors at
Rehearsas.

Gilbert's facile repartees came in
useful at rehearsals. One afternoon
a well-known actor had been made to
repeat one scene over and over again
When he was told for the forty-sev
enth time that 1t was all wrong he
stepped down to the footlights and
said: Mr. Gilbert, must tell you that
I'm not a very good tempered man."
NO" said Gilbert, neither am l."
Furthermore the actor went on
I'D like to have you know, Mr.. Gil
bert, that I'm very strong man."
Well said Gilbert, I'm six feet four
in my socks, but If you really want
to know the difference between us-I
am an extremely clever man"
There was another actor who OBJ
jected to being continually corrected
and snapped out: Look here, Mr.. Gill
bert; | know my lines" Il know you
do" answered Gilbert, but the
trouble is, dear boy. that you don't
know mine.''

NO WONDER THEY LAUGHED
Visiting Russian, Ignorant Of Eng

notebook what he supposed to be the
correct address.
The next day. desiring to go to the
same place, he called a cabman and
pointed to the address he had writ
ten down. The cabman looked him
over, cracked his whip. and drove
away without him.
This experience being repeated
with two or three other cabmen, the
Russian turned Indignantly to the po-

one who could understand him he de-

London for their impertinence and

TO TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS
Two methods That Result In Pictures
which closely Resemble Good
Steel EnQravInas.

Here Is way to take impressions
Of plants which will resemble steel en-
cravings. Two of them, in fact; take
your choice.
The hrst method is to take half
sheet OF fine woven paper and cover
its surface with sweet oil; let il stand
. moment or two. rub of the super
duous oil and hang 1t In the air When
it 10 fairly dry. move 1t slowly over
the lame Of q candle. lamp or gas
burner (caution) until it is quite
black. lay the plant or leaf on it,
place a clean piece of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for
about half hinute: then take up the
plant and place 1t on the paper on
which 1t is desired to leave an impress
sion. Cover 1t with a piece of blot
ting paper and rub as before The
engraving like impression will then
appear.
By the second method, burn a COM
mon cork until 1t is reduced to a
powder, add teaspoonful of olive oil
and mix into a thick paste. Next
paint the under side Of the leaf with
a camel's hair brush, lay the leaf care
fully, painted side down, upon a piece
of clean paper press 1t in a book un-
der strong and even weight for
about quarter of an hour and remove
the leaf carefully from the paper. AS
before, the impression will appear
thereon.

Construction Principles Alike.

Herr Knauth, the architect in
charge of the Cathedral of Strassburg,
has shown that the principles of con-
struction followed by the great cathe-
dral builders of former times are
identical with those used by the
builders Of the Egyptian Pyramids,
and are based on triangulation. The
same simple geometrical figure under
lies all these constructions. More
than this, Herr Knauth traces the
architectural principle in the forma-
ton of crystals, and lays down this
formula: "The laws of proportion in
medieval architecture are the geomet.
rical laws of crystallization.''
