CHEEKFuLNE~s AT THE TABLE

An old lady aho looked as though
he might have belonged TO the
Sunshine Society" all her life ~as
asked ~ a friend for the secret Of
her ueye.-faiI!ug cheerfulnesg. Her
answer contains suggestive lesson
for parents.
4 think" said the clever old lady.
1t Is because We are taught IN our
family To be cheerful at the table.
Ny father was a lawyer with a large
criminal practice; his mind vas har-
raised with difficult problems all the
day long. yet he always came 10 the
table with a smile and q pleasant
greeting for everyone. and exerted
himself to make the table hour de-
lightfui All his powers TO charm
we're freely given to entertain his
family. Three times a day We felt
this genial influence, and the effect
was marvellous.
IF a child came TO the table with
cross looks he or she was quietly
sent away to find a good boy or girl,
for only such were allowed TO come
within that loving circle. We were
| taught that all petty grievances and
| jealousies must be forgotten when
mealtime came, and the habit OF be-
| ing cheerful three times day under
all circumstances had it's effect on
even the most sullen temper. Crate
| full as | am for all the training re-
ceiyed in my childhood home, | look
back upon the table influence as
among the best Of my life"
Much is said and written these
days about table manners" Chill
dren, in well-bred families are drill
ed in knowledge CT good form" as
70 the use Of the fork and napkin;
proper methods of eating the various
courses; but training in the most i'm
pOrtant grace or habit a child could
have, that Of cheerfulness at the ia
bic, is often too neglected.
! The Orientals had no family ties
| of affection until they began to eat
at a common table. Let the gather
| ing at mealtime be made the most
happy hour of the day, and the in
! fluence on the children may be be-
yond estimation.- American

CUTTING IRON BY GAS.

Most of our young folks have seen
pictures projected on a screen by an
oxyhydrogen ''limelight" stereopti-
con. In this double magic lantern
bright light is produced by the in
tense heat OF burning oxygen and
hydrogen together against a small
cylinder of lime. The heat makes
the lime shine very brightly, on the
same principle that a piece of iron
glows when the blacksmith takes it
from his forge. Though this familiar
form of burning gases is very hot, it
is far excelled in heat by burning
acetylene Ca gas) in oxygen
This intense heat has recently been
used in marvellous tool, the results
of which seem almost, if not quite,
like magic. The vis-Bournonyille
Company has perfected a torch that
burns oxygen and acetylene together
and makes it convenient to apply this
intense heat to cutting Off or welding
iron.
Running this pen-like fame across
thick sheet of iron melts a very
narrow strip and cuts it off about as
you might cut a sheet of ice with a
red-hot poker. 1t will also melt the
edges of two sheets or blocks of iron
and enable mechanic to fasten them
together easily. Huge iron castings
that have been broken may be re-
paired by running the fame around
the edges Of the fracture and "stick-
Ing" them together. From the me-
chanical point of view the possible
