nooka Wth uneut Leavea.

In this country and Germany the practice of publishing books and magazines with uncut leaves has largely fallen into disuse. but it is still common in France, where it's prevalence provides a dissatisfied au- thor with a, cause for grumbling. In 'La Grande Revue" among other hindraIces to the reading habit which is so much in need of encouragement, at any rate from the authors point of view, he instances the practice ot publishing books with uncut edges.
 Time, he says, is growing more valuable every year and yet the read CT of a French volume of average proportions has to spend about twenty minutes in the pettifogging work of cutting the leaves in order to get at the contents. Some people of course who take their reading in leisurely fashion rather like being checked by the need for using a paper knife, but the ordinary reader does not want to be bothered in this way. He likes to go straight ahead without being compelled to cut his way through the book as he proceeds.-Westminster Gazette.

 Often the beauty of painting is lost because it is so thickly covered with dust To remedy this follow these suggestions:
 Brush the painting free from dust and wash the canvas with water, us- ing . sponge. Now take . piece of shaving soap and rub it over the en- tire painting, leaving it on Q very short while. Scrub of with . brush, and when 1t is thoroughly dried, rub the canvas with a piece of linen which has been dipped into benzine. Do not use this too freely, however. If the painting appears dull, Q little olive oil will benefit this. A coat of thin, col orless varnish is now applied, which protects the painting and keeps il bright for long time.

Profound LInuuIst-

There had been fatal accident at the railroad crossing in little Penn sylvania town. says the Philadelphia Record, and the coroner, a pompous old fellow, who magnified conscien- tiously both his office and it's incum- bent, had impaneled jury for the in- quest.
 There was only one witness or the accident, an illiterate Slav from the ccal mines who could understand no English. With him the coroner began to struggle.
 Gan you speak German?" he asked. The man shook his head.
 Can you speak Italian?" continued the official. Again the man shook his head.
 Can you speak Hungarian?" The same response.
 Gan you speak Russian?" finally asked the coroner. Again the man shook his head.
 Its no use, gentleman" said the coroner. turning to the jury. We can't proceed with the case. I've spoken to this man in five different languages, and can't make him understand me"

PROBLEM FOR WOMEN
GAN ONE ASK ANOTHER WHERE
 SHE GETS HER cLoTHEs7
It Is Done In France Without ( Tense. but Here the Fair Questioner Might Be Considered Most
 Impertinent.

Have you the right, when you see Q beautifully dressed woman, to ask her politely where she gets her clothes? ?"
 The speaker, beautifully dressed her self, was drinking tea and eating scones at the Acorn club. Her words evoked tremendous interest among all the dainty occupants of the dainty room, and a former ambassadors wife said:
 "That question is very important. It has troubled me, in fact, all my life. I once put it to the test. That was three years ago. I sidled up to a very stunning girl who was buying silk stockings in department store, and I said:
 "'Your dress is so pretty-do you mind telling me where you got it7'
 "She looked me up and down as if were dirt. I got 1t in Paris she sna-ped, and turned her back on me. I walked away SO crestfallenI To this day my cheeks burn when think of it"
 All the women laughed gently, sym pathetically, over their tea.
 And 1t wasn't as If you hadn't been we'll dressed yourself" one said.
 ''No," said the ambassadors wife. T had on a new Paquin."
 "Once, in Monte Carlo" said a wid- ow, "a girl asked me at Ciro's who made the coat-suit was wearing, and her question delighted me. It was a tribute to me and my dressmaker both. I was but too glad to give that pretty girl all the information she desired"
 Tn Paris" said an heiress, "the leading dressmakers send their manne- quins, or girl models, to the races, to fashionable hotels, and to the promen- ade in the Bois and the Rue de Ia Paix. This Is in order that women may ask these girls where they got their lovely frocks. Frenchwomen, y7u see. don't mind asking one an- other that"
 ''The French are so intelligent" said a lady novelist.
 Then. after pause, the original speaker said:
 I've often wanted to ask strange women where they got their clothes, and my husband has often wanted to ask strange men where they got theirs. Neither of us has ever dared, though. Yet we've been asked our selves, and, tremendously fattered, we've replied politely. My solution of the problem is this: Intelligent per sons, like the French, are pleased when the question Is asked them. and therefore, if you are sure your stran- gers are intelligent, don't hesitate; but, if your strangers are unintelh- gent-snobs or pseudo-aristocrats- then, beware, for. no matter how deep ly pleased at the question they may be at heart, they will snub you horribly, and you will walk oil as ashamed as though you had been caught trying to pick a pocket" fY

These animals car. ry about one hundred pounds at a time and work in herds of about one hundred The animals seem to have their own notions about the size of the load which they should carry and the speed with which they should cover the ground, and nothing will induce them to exceed this. The animals also look for an occasional respite from la- bor. and the rule Is to give each ami nal a weeks rest after two weeks of work

IRONING TIE TABLE NAPKINS
PeInts Worthy Of Remembrance That VIII Conserve the Life Of the
 Article.

Fold them double, selvage to selvage, perfectly even, and mangle several at one time, then let them lie rolled up in towel for some time before iron ing. To iron them, take one at time, shake out and stretch evenly, lay out very smoothly on the table with the right side uppermost and as square as possible.
 Iron the right side first, then the wrong, and back again on the right. Be careful not to stretch the edges out of shape, and iron until quite dry. They are ironed on both sides to other smooth, as sometimes happens. Give the hems an extra iron to dry them well.
 Table napkins can be folded either in three or in four, according to taste. To fold in four, fold in the same way as a tablecloth, only on the opposite side. bringing the right side outside instead of the wrong. Get the ends very even, press the folds well with an iron, and fold in four across, mak- ing a square again. Air well before laying them away.
 To fold in three. measure the sides (hems) first, and get them divided into three equal parts, press them down with an iron to keep them in place, then make the folds right across and iron them down, and press with the iron once more.
 If there is a name, 1t must be on the outside when the table uaplxin ia folded; if a monogram or raised. int tials, iron well on the wrong side to make the embroidery stand out.

For Cleaning Sewing Machine.

First place 1t near 8 fire to gel warm that the congealed oil may melt, then oil it thoroughly with par. afln. Work 1t quickly for few min. utes, then wipe of all the parafln and dirt. Treat it to a very little of the machine oil, and after the application of little more kerosene wipe it again and 1t will be ready for use. People often shirk the trouble of cleaning their machines like this, but clogged and heavy machine under this treatment will become like new, and its easy working will be ample reward for the trouble incurred.

 state of purifcation. The pulper, a
 machine very much like the one used
 in papermaking, next comes into play
 Here the gun-cotton Is chopped up by
 knives so as to give the fbers a thor ough cleansing. From here it goes to the poaching house, which consists of series or large tubs in which the
 pyrocellns, as the material is now called, goes through a further clean ing process of hot and cold washings. It is then dried by a wringer simi- lar to a printing machine and sent to the press house, where the water is
 squeezed out under great pressure. After a few minutes in the machine the mixture comes out resembling a huge white cheese. It Is weighed and sent to the mixing house, where there are instruments such as are used in making bread by machinery and which are known as kneading machines. The pyrocellus is here mixed with a solv- ent, the name of which the govern ment prefers to keep a secret The resultant material is a thick. yellow gelatinous mass resembling tany. The stage of smokeless powder has now been reached and the mixture is once moro put through g machine hy, hydraulic pressure. It is then wrapped around reels and dried by steam so d to evaporate the solvent. It is pressed into the proper grain suitable to the different calibers of guns and at this stage It bears 2 striking resemblance to hoarhound candy. as it is identical with that both in shape and color. Then comes the cutting into proper lengths, and this Is done by hand and the use of sharp instrument very much like 8 meat chopper. Two men do this work and they are especially careful to get the powder the exact length. The cut powder is carried to another table, where a man goes over each piece and the defective pieces are thrown out. The inspector is par ticular that only perfect powder Is sent out. Recently plant has been erected to work over this defective powder, and so successful has this process been that the powder which a few years ago would have been Q total loss, is now remade in such as to be the equal of the best of the new product.
 The next step in the process is dry ing and the green powder Is sent to the drying house in covered cans, be- ing wheeled there on trucks pushed along the tracks which are laid be- tween the buildings. A colored man furnishes the motive power. The dry ing house is a veritable mountain of explosives, fcr great stacks of powder are piled up everywhere. It must be protected even from the rays of the sun and the windows are covered with canvas. Here it Is branded and prepared for shipment. The actual esting of the powder takes place when 1t is used to fire the big guns town in the valley on the proving grounds.

Bacon From Denmark

From the Cleveland Leader.
 It is interesting If not important to note that the farmers of Denmark are inves tigating the opportunities for marketing in the United, States their surplus bacon and butter.
 Whether they will lind this profitable under existing tariff conditions ls doubt full It is not surprising. however, that the temptation should be strong fore Flu ;opean agricuiturists to invade a mar
 set in which prices have risen with sky rocket speed within the past 15 years. Surely the invitation Is strong to sell here the meat and dairy products of lands that are none too profitable. since the American farmer is getting nearly three times as much for cattle and hogs and nearly twice as much for butter and cream aa he did in the early 90s.
 It is too much to hope. however. that the high cost of living will be reduced by imports of Danish bacon ana butter. The European demand for American agricul- tural products is still too strong to admit of such result. Two years ago the ex- ports of provisions. including meat and dairy products. amounting in vasue vo 1 about $15N0co, ,0G0. and the balance of trade r in our favor, after the similar imports he1 been deducted, amounting to about $l42.- 0t0,0o0.

 We know that so nicely is the hnmen tody adjusted and adapted to its uses that one part cannot suffer without Ill suffering If the nerves arc desicated or dried through lack of fluid. then 1t IS certain the same lack. and that the wheels of the wonderful machinery are being clogged by reason of waste mat ter which is not washed away.
 We see by this that water docs for us a three-fold service. It feeds 1t washes and 1t carries away the cinders of the body furnace; and through the want of 1t we are exposed to many and great dangers. The tissues become too dry the blood Is thick and it's flows sluggish and the retained waste of the body sets in a condition which the doctors call ..autointoxicat tlon,'' or self-poisoning.
 This condition may give rise TO almost any known symptoms, from a pimple to heart failure and is really responsible for most of the semi-invalids with whom the world is largely peopled.
 To obtain the best results from water drinking certain rules should be ob- served People do not all need the same amount anG it may take little experi- menting to find out just how much should be taken in individual cases. 1t has been stated by physicians that five or six pints should be taken during the 24 hours. Of this only a moderate quan- tity should be taken with the meals. It is a mistake to take no water with a meal, but |. is perhaps a greater mis- take to wash food down with water es- recially with ice water.

WINES OF OLD ROME
There Were Fifty Kinds, But They
 Contained Little Alcohol

From the Ideal Grocer
 Nearly b0 kinds of wine were known to the ancient Romans. including several va rieties used for medical purposes. Faler- nian was a home wine, resembling the modern Madeira. and was not commonly used until 1t was 10 years old. After 1t was 20 years old 1t affected the thinker unfavorably. causing headache.
 Other wines were foreign. Chian, also called Ariusian. of which there were three varieties-austere, sweet and intermediate and the Lesbian. considered to be a diuretic, were of this kind Some wines were named after their color, as white dark and red. The white were thought to be the thinnest and least heating. the dark-colored and sweet the most nourish- ing. the red the most heating.
 Certain wines named Myndian, Halicar- nassian, Rhodian and Coan. were made with salt water. They were considered not to be intoxicating, but to produce d. gestion. Two wines, Culdian and Adrian. were also medicinal. Mustum was term applied to wine newly made or the fresn juice of the grape. Protropum was the juice which runs from the grapes with out pressing. Muisum was mixture or wine and honey. Sapa was mustum boiled down to third. Defrutum was must,m reduced to half, and Carenum was the same reduced to a third. Passum was sweet wine prepared from grapes that had been dried in the sun Passum creticum, also a sweet wine, is believed to have been the same as the wine which our forefathers called Malmsey, the wine in which the Duke of Clarence, brother of Edward ". elected to be drowned.
 A wine called Murrhina has a curious history The Greeks had wine of this kind which consisted of pure wine per fumed with odorous substances. The Romans had wine similarly named which is supposed to have been wine mingled with myrrh. It was administered | to those who were about to suffer tor ture in order to inebriate them and 10 remove the sense of suffering.
 The ancient wines retained their place , probably until the end of the middle az IS but there Is no reliable evidence bearing uIon this point. Very slowly the names
 rather than the wines. even those in use in ShakespeaTe's time. seem to have been l less charged with alcohol than the wines 1 of the present day Even Malmsey the
 strongest of them, contained only about
