CLAY Work for the Children.

When 1t is raining or showing some
Saturday morning and the children
can't go out, nothing will stop the riot
SO quickly as a bunch of clay for mod
cling, the Kansas Industrialist OBJ
serves. 1t is much like mud pies, but
cleaner, and the children will leave a
box of chocolates to get at 1t. A little
practice will soon enable them to
make many things.
The best clay can be procured in
the form of a white powder, costing
from two to four cents a pound. The
rough clay, directly from the works,
can be bought by the barrel at two
cents or a little less a pound. 1t is
best to let the material remain as pow
der until one or two days before using.
Then pour water over as much as 1t is
desired to use. Stir it occasionally. A
small portion may be kept ready for
use If watched to prevent drying.
A specially prepared oiled clay can
be bought for IS cents a pound. II
comes in colors and is always ready
for use.

NEW USE FOR PHoNoGRAPH
Ingenious Housewife Devised Plan
That Kept Maid In the Straight
and Proper Path.

A Brooklyn clubwoman who was go
ing out of town for a few days was In
quendary over the problem Of her
husbands existence during her alb
sence. The maid was Swedish and
could neither read nor write English,
yet she somehow must be told each
day, as only the mistress could tell
her, what should be done about the
house. A moments thought solved
the problem A list Of each days du-
ties was made out. Next, a phono-
graph dealer was called up and In
structed to send up half dozen blank
records. The ingenious mistress then
sat down In front Of her machine and
dictated her orders, using one record
for each days instructions. The rec
ords were then placed in their paste
board cases, and the days on which
they should be used we're indicated on
the outside by one, two, three and
four straight lines, making a mistake
impossible. AS result not only was
everything in perfect order upon her
return, but the novelty had so APP
pealed to the maid that she had
played" her orders over and over un.
til she could repeat them word for
word.

NOTED SONS OF MINISTER'S
On Every Line They Have Been Wide

America.

It is probable that ministers sons
have exerted more influence In the
United States than in any other coun-
try. Among teachers, lawyers, doc
tors, scientists, men of business and
In the church there are a great host
who have been the sons Of ministers.
OF the more notable men in our his
tory who we're sons of ministers we
find in political life Cleveland, Clay,
Buchanan, Arthur, Quay, Morton, Bev-
eridge, Hughes and Dolliver; among
jurists, Field and Brewer; among edu-
Gators, Woodrow Wilson, Faunce,
James, Carroll. Lunsbury; in history
and literature, Sloan, Parkman, Ban
croft, Holmes, Emerson, Henry James,
Lowell, Glider, Van Dyke; in inven-
ton and science, Cyrus w. Field, Sam

church, Beecher, Alexander, Hodge,
Abbott, Potter, Jonathan Edwards; in
philosophy, James.
In the Hall of Fame 81 famous
Americans are honored. OF these 81

END OF WONDERFUL GUN
Did lts Duty 70 the Finish But the
Strain Was More Than 1t
Could Bear and Survive.

Not long ago an ex-governor Of
Michigan, a Cleveland capitalist, and
several friends we're in the big
woods near Turtle Lake, guided by
Sam Sampson, a famous hunter and
trapper. Same possesses a gun with
barrel five feet long, but once, ac-
cordirg to his story, he had a still
longer one.
1T was a wonderful gun" he said
to the ex-governor. Il could kill a
bar as fur off as l could see i'm, an
that gun was as knowing as a man.
If it hadn't been fur that, it would
never ha' busted!"
How did you break IT." asked one
of the hunters.

guide soberly. II was out hunting

pulled up old Beetle-that's what
called tn gun-and was jest goin' t.

too much, an both barrels busted.

A church is successfully heated In

small units. A long tube heater Is
placed near the floor in front of the
seat and along the back of the follow

The electric heating tube is a three

II each pew is a switch for cutting
ut the heater, and all the separate
Tres from the heaters run to con-
ection boxes placed ut different

Tie knot in your handkerchief
John, and you'll not forget ii" says
the wife, when she asks you to bring
something home when you return
from the city at night.
Rather simple system Of mnemonics
Isn't it? No complicated rigamarole
Of mystic numbers like most OF the
other memory systems, and one that
We all know is wonderfully effective.
Did you ever stop TO think what a
wonderful part in the history Of the
world this simple tying Of a knot has
played? asks the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal. OF course. you remember
the most famous knot and how Alex
ander united it-with his sword.
But older even than that, though
not SO well known, is the history that
Darius, on crossing the Istir on his
Scythian expedition, left with the
Greeks appointed to guard the bridge
thong with number Of knots Ia It.
One was to be undone each day. If
Darius did not return before the last
knot was united the forces were to
tear down the bridge and depart.
Then Alots have been used as a lam
guage-the "gulpu" Of the Incas Of
Peru consists Of a number Of thongs
hanging from a top band, the meaning
depending on the color OF the thong
and the number of knots tied in it,
and their order Of arrangement
Among the tPolynesian tribes the
knot is used to make persons, things
and places saered-they are surround
ed by strings tied In certain kind
OF knot under mystic ceremonies and
thus rendered 'tabu" - inviolate.
Among the Laplanders and Finland
ers it is popular custom by means
of tying certain knots to raise the
wind or to calm the storm.
Along in the middle ages witnesses
to document were known as noda-
torres (knotters) because it was then
the usage that when they signed their
name they should also tie knot in
the string that was attached to the
document.
So you see when wiley asks you to
t.e a. knot in your handkerchief so as
not to forget her errand, she is only
exercising a custom that has come
down from the primitive times.

The most popular method used by
the Burmese for husking rice is by
the "chike-set" or revolving mill,
which is worked by hand. This mill
IS made of woven bamboo. The low

shaped head of hardwood and bamboo
extending within the upper half, which
Tevolves around this cone when push
ed backward and forward by means of
the handle. Hard bamboo twigs exc
tending crosswise in the upper por-

Between the two sections is a small
opening through which the rice falls
iEto plate or basket.
The other method Is by wooden
mortar, the pestle consisting of block

The paint pot is practically banished

you notice as you approach the coast ;
for the first adventurous fishing boat
you pass is built, 1t would seem, Of
about half a dozen broad, implanted
deal planks. So with the sampans
that cluster round your ship as soon
as the anchor is dropped; they are all
nature-colored, undecorated, and unde-
faced by a single lick Of the paint
brush. So with the houses Of the
first Japanese street you enter, they
are weathered to the silver-gray of un-
painted pine. Such color as there is
proceeds from the innumerable strips
Of calico, inscribed with huge hero
