w. Hales Turner advocates the use
of porcelain in building our homes. He
says porcelain lacks the absorbing
qualities of brick, mortar, concrete,
woodwork and paper and declares that
an inch thick wall of porcelain glazed
on both sides will keep in warmth or
keep out the heat of the sun better
than an 1S-iach brick wall can do. The
framework of such house should con-
sist of rust-pTcof metal in which are
fitted panels of porcelain six feet long
by three feet vide and half an inch
thick, weighing FIVE pounds to the su-
perficial foot These may be decorated
or glazed and fitted with steam tight
joints, the whole house Of moderate
size being pUt up within few hours.

Fine a Fortune In s.wer,.

The revenue last year from the
Bradford corporations grease factory
amounted to over $250,000 This sum
represents what other people have
thrown away, for the grease is ex-
tracted from waste products of the
wool industry in the English city.
When the crude wool is washed at
Bradford some of its natural fat is
washed into the sewers. BY collect
ing the "sludge" and extracting the
fatty substances, the city is able to
dispose of about 120 tons of valuable
grease per week

CHAPTER II-continued.

Under the pink rose a soft pink
flush bloomed on either of the old
lady's cheeks. Her eyes flashed with
unconquerable pride, and her square,
firm chin she held very high; for now,
Indeed, she was filled with terror of
what folks would say" to this home
leaving, ana it was a bright June after
noon, too clear for an umbrella with
which to hide ones face from prying
neighbors, too late in the day for a
sunshade.
Angy tucked the green-black affair
which served them as both under her
arm and swung Abe's figured old car
petbag in her hand with the manner Of
one setting out on pleasant journey.
Abe, though resting heavily on his
stout. crooked cane, dragged behind
him Angy's little horsehair trunk upon
a creaking. old, unusually large toy
express wagon which he had bought
at some forgotten auction long ago.
The husband and wife passed into
the garden between borders of box
wood, beyond which nodded the heads
of Angy's carefully tended, outdoor
"children'-her roses, her snowballs,
her understanding syringas, her wax
like bleeding-hearts and her shrub Of
bridal-wreath.
Jest a minute" she murmured, as
Abe would have FASTENED on to the
gate. She bent her proud head and
kissed with furtive, half-ashamed pas
sion a fluffy white spray of the bridal
wreath. Now overlapping the hus-
bands silk hat, the shrub had not
come so high as his knee when they
two had planted it nearly half-cen-
fury ago.
You're mine!" Angy's heart cried
out to the shrub and to every growing
thing in the garden. You're mine.
planted you, tended you, loved you
into growing. You're all the children
/ ever had, and I'm leaving you" But
the old wife did not pluck a single
flower, for she could never bear to see
a blossom wither in her hand, while
all she said aloud was: 'I'm glad twas
Mis- Holmes that bought in the house.
They say she's a great hand ter dig
in the garden"
Angy's voice faltered. Abe did not
answer. Something had caused a
swimming before his eyes which he
did not wish his wife to see; so he
let fall the handle of the express
wagon and. bending his slow back,
plucked a sprig of "old-man." Though
he could not have expressed his senti-
ments in words, the garden brought
poignant recollections &c the hopes
and promises which had thrown their
rose color about the young days of his
marriage. His hopes had never bios
somed into fulfilment. His promises
to the little wife had been choked by
the weeds of his own inefficiency.
Worse than this, the bursting into
bloom of seeds of selfish recklessness
IN himself was what had turned the
garden of their life into an arid waste
And now, in their dry and withered
old age, - and Angy were being torn
up by the roots, flung as so much
rubbish by the roadside.
Mother, be dretful sorry ter take

Contractlon of sun.

Adopting the well-known hypo thesis
projection of the heat emitted ty the
sun to Its contraction, an idea can be
formed of the suns duration.
If ole gives to the sun a coeficient
of expansion intermediate between
that of mercury and that of gas one
arrives at the conclusion that I has
taken 100000 to 100000 of years
for the sun to contract to its present
radius in particular, 1t would have
taken 10000 years to contract from
infinity to a radius twice its present

years ago, if there is anything 1 re-
member at all it is generally one
thing in the book that sticks out
above all others. Any book that gives
you one new thought to make YOU
think is book worth while.
When l think of Carlysle's Sartor
Resartus--the philosophy of clothes
II think of vivid description in one
chapter of various notables gathered
together in some public place, each
clothed in the insignia or uniform of
his office, or position in society or
government.
Having got them altogether, Car
lysle has you imagine some power
suddenly whipping all the clothes off
every mothers son in the crowd, leav-
ing all of them standing Their stark
naked-not stitch of cloth on any
of them
don't recall now just what func-
tlonaries he had in that illustrious
group, but it serves the purpose to
have the king, cardinal. an admiral
general, chief justice and few
earls, lords, counts, buffers, guards
and servants of one kind or another
thrown in to make the picture com
plete.
And if they all stood naked-strip-
ped of their uniforms you would
have a tough time of it telling a king
from a butler, cardinal from a pri-
vate soldier, chief justice from
some thief who might have got into
the gathering.
OF course, in order to keep wholly
within the bounds of conventional re-
spectability, such gathering would
be for men only. Although if women
had been included suppose it would
have been quite as difficult to tell
queen or countess from a maid.

occupies high place, or whose name
often appears in the newspapers, I
think of that story and wonder how
he would look naked.
We don't uniform our president, or
our senators or congressman; and l
believe the justices of our supreme
court are the only judges who try to
disguise themselves to create the i'm
preston that they are, something
more than two-legged men.
We uniform our admirals and gen
erals, our buffers, chauffeurs, coach
men, bel-hops, porters, mail carriers,
policemen, firemen, soldiers and
other servants.
But not our kings and princes. Old
John D. Rockefeller wears no uni
form except his wig; and any bald
headed critter can wear a wig.
Andy Carnegie wears no uniform
except a set of whiskers that have
been well advertised in the news
papers.

Roger Sullivan, Ogden Armour,
George Reynolds, Vic lawson, Jim

our rulers wear uniforms like the
masters of old. That is, they don't
wear uniforms of clothes. But we
kow-tow to them just the same be-
cause of the mental uniforms they
wear-largely made and furnished by
the newspapers.
But wonder just the same how
puzzled the average man would be

BIRD NEVER SANG AGAIN.
Changing Ownership flushed Night
ingale Renowned for Voice.

From the London Telegraph
There are few birds which adapt them
selves SO readily to captivity as the night
ingale. l have in a large outdoor cage
1t can scarcely be called an aviary. being
only some eight feet long and two feet
wide-a nightingale which was caught
near EPSON in April last. and which was
singing within fortnight of being cap
tured Every morning at break OF day
his song is to be heard. and within six
weeks of being Gagged he was sufficiently
tame to come to the hand for meal
worm or spider.
Two others in separate cages indoors
have been Gagged since last autumn. and
they are utterly without fear OF any oc-
cupant of the house. They clamor for
their breakfast Immediately they hear
any one stirring in the morning, and in
sist upon being satisfied on the instant.
l know of one which is never happy un-
less it is climbing about its owner s
shoulders.
Although in nature the song of the
nightingale does and extend later than
the middle of June, yet in captivity the
bird will sing up to the time of the au-
tumn molt and will begin again at
Christmas. The one detraction from the
merits of the nightingale as a pet bird
is it's individuality. Some birds Will sing
only when no one is in the room with
them: some will sing under any condi-
ton. and some will be silent forever if
they change ownership. At the earnest
solicitation of friend l once parted with
nightingale which was the finest singer
l had ever heard, and in its new owner
ship. although it was kept in the same
cage and was fed in exactly the same
manner as that to which it had been ac-
cuStomed. 1t never uttered a note during
the remaining seven years of It's life.
