NOVEL COFFEE PERcOLAToR
Its Advantage ls That the Essence 10
Extracted Without Boiling the
Ground Berry.

A device for making coffee that 10
laid to be big Improvement over
the old-style coffee pot has been de-
signed by New York man. This is
called the coffee percolator and the
advantage is that the essence OF the
coffee is extracted without boiling the
ground berry, process which is said
to liberate the Injurious fannie acid.
The percolating device consists of two
metal cups, one to fit in the other and
both to rest in the top of an ordinary
coffee pot or any similar vessel. The
lower cup has a fine metal strainer
and has rim which supports 1t on
the pot, The other cup has perfora-
lions 30 graduated as to regulate the

Every housekeeper, 1 am sure, has

hardened on window panes.

The hardest paint spots came off like
dust, upon rubbing with a cloth mois-

The Music of Birds.

Birds are usually accounted the
most musical of animals, yet it is very
much of Il task to set their notes to
music. The reason is that birds are
utterly negligent of the laws OF har-
mony. There is not one of them it is
safe to say, thaE knows the difference
between major third and dominant
chord. This deficiency in musical
knowledge is rather surprising when
we consider how beautifully the birds
sing and may be used as an argument
to show that theoretical knowledge
is a humbug. But If birds knew more
about harmony their songs could all be
set down and quite a decent revenue
derived from the sale thereof Anoth-
er reason why it is difficult to put the
melody of the song birds into notes is
that the quality of the tone is unlike
any musical instrument. This is true
Of all birds except the thrush, whose
song descends for the first three notes
in perfect seconds and with much
purity Of tone.-From Old Scrap Book.

Work Of tho Locomotive Fireman.

To a husky young man shoveling
twenty tons of coal day may not
sound like terrible undertaking, but
that is because he fails to appreciate
the difference between shoveling that
quantity in the course of ten hour
day, standing on q steady footing and
pausing for moment whenever he
feels like it to gaze at the scenery or
light cigarette and trying to keep
his balance on jolting, jerking, plung-
ing steel deck which tries ceaselessly
to pitch him head first into the side of
the cab, while with legs spread wide
apart he humps over scoop shovel,
working with frantic energy to get
coal into the fireboX fast enough to
keep steam up. While the engine is
running the fireman must be straddled
out on the deck, working continually
to the limit of his strength, for ordi-
narily he will have to get from two
and a half to three tons of coal into the
firebox every hour. Three and q half
tons is generally regarded as the limit
of a fireman's capacity, but this has
been greatly exceeded on the fastest
trains.-Technical World Magazine.

Rloomer Woman Is Dead.

Miss Susan P. Fowler, the bloomer
woman, diedat her home in Vineland,
N. ]. She was eighty-seven years old
and she donned the bloomer costume
sixty-nine years ago, when it bid fair
to become popular under the advocacy
of such women as Susan B. Anthony,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others in
the Oneida community of New York,
although she never accepted any Of
the doctrines of that community.
Marriage and motherhood as known
today she contended are farce, and
all because the young men art not
taught the basic laws of life. For over
forty years she conducted farm on
the outskirts of Vineland and never
would have a man around.
Miss Fowler was highly educated
and was the author of several books.
