Not Coker-Nuts,

A Mr.. Donaldson, who owned a
sugar refinery in Queensland, went
to England one year and bought some
machinery for his business. He took
the machine to pieces, and took it
home in parts, carefully packed, in
tending to put them together on the
spot.
An Australian custom house official
gave him a lot of trouble on his ar
rival, examining every part, and argu-
ing about the amount to be paid. At
last they came TO an agreement about
all but one box, which contained the
metal nuts used in boiling the parts of
the machinery together. About what
was to be charged for these the Off
cfal had no doubt at all.
Nov as to these" he said, "the
duty will be twopence a pound" Mr..
Donaldson protested that this was too
high. mot bit of it," was the con-
fident reply; "the schedule says dis
tinctly that all nuts except coker-
nuts are to pay twopence a pound.
These aren't coker-nuts, so twopence
a pound you'll have to pay!"

HospltabIe, Anyway.

The mother of three-year-old girl
thought it was about time her small
daughter learned the why and where
fore of Christmas. Consequently, one
afternoon when they were lying down
together to take their afternoon nap
she began to tell the little one about
the Christ Child and the lowly manger
where he was born. AS best she could
she impaired the idea to the child that
Christ was good, and that it was be-
cause of his having been born on the
25th of December that the day was
called Christmas and was celebrated
all over the world.
When she had finished her story
she waited for her wee daughters
comment. Receiving none, she looked
to see If the child had fallen asleep.
She had not; apparently she was
for her blue eyes were very
serious.

mans name was? I'm going to have

The Rainbow.

We habitually think of the rain cloud
only as dark and gray; not knowing
that we owe to it perhaps the fairest,
though not the most dazzling, of the
hues of heaven. Often in our English
mornings the rain clouds in the dawn
form soft, level fields, which melt i'm
perceptibly into the blue; or, when Of
less extent, gather into apparent bars,
crossing the sheets of broader clouds
above and all these bathed through
out in an unspeakable light of pure
rose color, and purple, and amber, and
blue; not shining, but misty soft; the
barred masses when seen nearer, CON-
posed of clusters or tresses of cloud,
like floss silk, looking as If each knot
were little swaith or sheaf of lighted
rain.-John Ruskin.

The Research Engineer.

nC nSSCdTCn
About decade ago the great ad.
vantage to be derived from bringing
the scientist directly to the manufac-
turer's workshop, provided this could
be done in the proper spirit, becomes
evident, and the institution now we'll
known as the industrial research
laboratory has gradually become firm
ly established. There are those who
still maintain, and, no doubt. correct
ly, that the worlds greatest discov-
cries, come from Independent investi-
gators working alone, often amid great
their own enthusiasm and complete
absorption In one idea Be that as
1t may, the industrial laboratory has
now to its credit some remarkable
achievements, which would do honor
to any university Investigator 1t is
also worth noting that these achieve
ments are due in great measure to
that broad dictatorship over research
work which, while not imposing irk-
some restrictions, guides it toward
useful ends. While spectacular re
suits bring great credit to industrial
research In general, and to this de-
partment in particular. it seems to
be fact, nevertheless, that such de-
partments represent an excellent In
vestment even when measured by the
value of their day-to-day services of a
minor character rendered to a great
industrial organization. - Electrical

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are
extensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten?
The reason is plain-the article did
not fulfil the promises of the manufac-
turer. This applies more particularly
to a medicine. A medicinal prepare
ton that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recon-
mended by those who have been bene-
fitted, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggists says: Take,
for example, DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many of my
customers testify. No other kidney
remedy that | know of has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to
the fact that it fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary trou-
bles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention
this paper.

One should pack for storage much
the same as one packs for any other
removal, with this difference, that the
goods may not be unpacked for many
months, and that 1t is desirable to. get
them into as small a compass as pos

With a view of reducing storage
space study ways of using all the in
terror space of furniture turned upside
down. A large picture with deep
molding can have the space from the
glass to the outer line of the frame
filed up with smaller pictures. Books
should be packed in a good many small

Make sure of complying with the
regulations of the insurance com.
panies. Have your things thoroughly
cleaned before you store them. Pack
as closely as possible. Do not store
