In the hall of the house of represent

Washington. He looks a most com
manding person, with the stature Of
a giant and y faultless physique. But
looking at pse portrait recently a pub
lie man commented:
THAT is a good deal Of a sham.
George Washington never looked like
that, though I've o doubt he would
have been proud to appear so magnif-
cent.
Notice the legs" the speaker o n
tinued. "They are perfect beauties,
but they are not Washington's. They
are the legs of General Smith of New
Jersey, a soldier of the Revolution.

ed In conclusion: washington had
quite unimprcssive legs, and the artist
who painted that picture was so dis
satisfied with their shape that he per
suaded General Smith to lend his
faultless members as models. So,
while we have the face and torso Of
our great first president, the support
ing legs are those of one of his gen

Death In Factory Fires.

The question is often debated as to
whether persons who lose their lives
In a fire developing with great rapid
ity undergo extreme physical suffer
ing. An authoritative opinion is ex-
pressed by the New York Medical Jour
nal, which says: Unnecessary an
guish Of mind has probably been felt
by relatives Of unfortunate workers
killed In factory fires by reflection on
the supposedly agonizing pain caused
by such a death. Where q great bulk
of highly infammable, substances is
quickly consumed in a closed space the
result is the production Of large guam
titles Of carbon monoxide. This gas.
1t is well known, combines with the
.haemogobin of the blood to form a
compound that refuses to combine
with oxygsn. The result is q speedy
and probably painless asphyxiaton be-
fore the flames have had a chance to
attack the bodies Of the victims"

Worth knowinp,

Banana skins make excellent leather
polishes, especially for brown shoes.
Corks dipped In bath brick or knife
polish are capital as knife cleaners.
They save the use of expensive knife
machines or even knifeboards, as the
knives may just as efficiently be clean
ed with the cork on folds of brown
paper.
Ashes diluted in water make an eff
fectiye agent for securing ~discolored
glass jugs and water bottles, while for
cake baking a layer of ashes strewn
over the surface of a baking sheet
keeps the bottom of a cake tin cool
and helps to distribute the heat of the
oven more evenly.
Coffee grounds may be mixed with
the earth used in fowerpots and win
dow boxes, where they serve as a spe-
cies Of artificial manure. Roses are
said to bloom particularly well in a
mixture Of earth and coffee grounds.
Potato Feelings make a welcome adj
dition to the food Of pigs and chick
ems. If thoroughly dried they may be
converted into excellent fuel and will
take the place of sticks when lighting
fires. Potato Feelings, like tea leaves,
are also useful for cleaning water bot

SAFETY POCKET.
Women Travellers Find It Convenient
For Carrying Money.

For Carrying Money.
Nowadays, when so many women are
travelling, the question of a safe and
convenient way to carry money, pa
pers, etc, is a problem.
A pocket which may be cut In any
size is made of good strong cambria
and is sewed to the petticoat about six
inches from the band. In this way
the pocket is always in your lap when
you sit, and you car occasionally put
your hand there to see if the contents
are safe.
For an ordinary pocket cut a strip
of cambria six inches wide by twelve
inches long. Turn up the bottom, en-
velope fashion, and put a hem on the
top. The hem Is to stay the button
holes. The top is cut pointed, or sim
ply turn the edges in pointed shape,
which makes 1t stronger. On the first
turn make three buttOnholes and one
In the flap. Sew the pocket up at the
edges to form an en~velope-like bag and
then stitch firmly on the petticoat on
three sides, not only on the edges, but
the center where the flap comes
under the buttonhole hem. The buttons
must then be sewed firmly through
to the skirt. In this way there Is no
danger of the pocket coming
open. The button that holds the flap
down is only sewed through one thick
ness, and 1t is well to put a small piece

Not the Answer As Expected.

One of Lord Desborough's best anec-

far more at home In the hunting field

was much annoyed at having to Off
ciate at a funeral; but, this over, he
mounted his horse and started in pur-
suit of his friends. On the road he
sought information Of an old woman
with a donkey cart.
"Well," she said, "if you ride to the
top of the hill you will come to a
'meenister.' Then If you turn to the
right you will he likely to come up
with them"
Handing her a shilling, he said, my
good woman, why did you call the
sign post a minister"
"Why. you see. sir. it's like this:
We used to call 'em sign posts, but
since you've been in these parts we
calls 'em meenisters, COS, though they
points other folks the way, they never
