On his part, David displayed far more
interest in the frequency and quality of
said glances than was becoming to a dis
appointed sutton. If he thought of Kate

Train Accidents.

In open country the train had made fair
time, approXimating. perhaps, that of a
thrd-cass freight on an American noun
tain road. But here the trials and tribu-
lations which mad made the roads fame
lay in wait.
Twice did the train break in two to be
meuded with ropes.
Thrice the engine bolted the track and
was only persuaded back by the united
prayers and work Of passengers and crew.
While graduating in train Erecking,
David learned, incidentally, how forcible
one may be, on occasions, in such liquid
tongue as Spanish; also he scraped ac-
quaintance with various insect pests.
Through the muggy tropical night, lit
only by the amethyst incandescence of
myriad lantern flies, the cars racked along
their wheels groaning curses at the ex-
ecrable roadbed
Sleep was out of the question. save

Hints or the
Household

One Of the best and simplest methods
of ventilating a bed room is that of
procuring a piece of wood inches in
depth and of the same breadth as the
window, and inserting this along the
| bottom of the frame after raising the
| lower sash. The window should then
be lowered onto the strip OF wood, fresh
air entering the room in the center be-
tween the two sashes.
The longer candles are kept the bet
ter they are. Discoloration can be in
stantly removed by wiping with piece
Of flannel dipped in spirits Of wine. A
pinch OF fine salt in the cup of wax
round the wick makes the candle last
longer and burn much better. Another
good tip is to varnish the candles with
white varnish. Don't use them for quite
ten days after this.
Often when one has purchased a pair
Of boots one doesn't know till they are
home that they creaK. However, the
disagreeable noise may be stopped by
taking them back to the shoemaker and
asking him to spring them on each side
and insert between the soles a tea
spoonful of French chalk. This process
costs only trifle and answers admira-
bly,
If tumblers become fixed. tap gently
round with another tumbler and, like
magic, they will come apart II a glass
stopper is fixed, tap round it with an
other and it will be loosened You will
always have the same result. The rule
is, tap each article with another of a
similar kind.
Collars Of coats often become dirty
before the coat is worn out. A good
remedy is to rub the soiled part with a
little par1ffin oil on a soft cloth, and
then hang in the air for an hour to
take away any unpleasant smell.
To keep carpet in good condition
go over it once a week with a broom
dipped in hot water to which a little
turpentine has been added.
