Primitive Screws.

Screws are still made in India just
as they We're made originally, by
winding two soft wires together
around a mandril. The wires are
then carefully separated and one of
them is soldered into tube or nut
while the other is soldered to a short
rod All the silversmiths make their
screws in this way and they are ali
left handed, for they are wound over
end over by the right hand. Screw
bolts and screw presses were intro
duced by Europeans and for many
years all the cotton exported from In
d1a was compressed by a massive
screw of wood, turned round by cattle
yoked to long lever. This screw
may still be found in remote districts.
1t is cut entirely by hand and is set
out by winding two ropes around the
hand dressed beam to give the pitch.

The Mire Was Awful

Autemobiling is hardly at its best up

Least that is what quartet of young
people from this village think. They
started out last Friday night for the dance
at the North Village, but had not pro-
ceeded many miles before they encoun-
tered clay pits, more than one, in fact
so many that autoing grew very irksome
and in order to get home they had to
take back road and perambulate around
johnson way, cutting out the dance, and
reaching home in the early morning
hours. The north road looked next dav
as if western cyclone had struck it. so
promiscously scattered about were the
boards and timbers used for extricating
purposes. 1t is said that "steno-

How to Cure Stammerine.

Stammering is due to a peculiarly
nervous temperament, and only very
sympathetic treatment can effect a
cure. In a child it should have imme-
date attention and the first thing is
to improve the little ones health by
means of plenty of sleep, fresh air
and good food Every day he should
take deep breathing exercises in the
open air, to strengthen the muscles of
the throat, and counterfeit a spasmodic
habit of breathing. Notice should be
taken Of the sounds which the little
stammerer has most trouble with, and
sentences containing these sounds
should be composed for him to repeat
each day-very slowly and clearly.
He should be asked to read aloud ev-
cry day, and, what is very important,
he should never be laughed at or
scolded
