BLOWGUN is EASY TO MAKE

Accurately for 20 Feet.

Either a 12-inch length of a small
curtain-rod tubing or a straight piece
of small bamboo pole, cut off between
the joints, can be used for the gun
part of this simple device, writes C.
G. Fraser of Saginaw, Mich, in Popu-
lar Mechanics. If bamboo is used, see
that it is cleaned out smoothly on the

The dart used in the gun in shown
at A in the illustration. 1t is made by
threading the eye of a darning needle
full of yarn, clipping all the strands
off to a uniform length of about three
fourths inch, and then picking out the
fbers into a brushlike mass above the
needles eye. Another needle or pin
can be used for fuzzing the threads.
The point to observe is that the brush

BIG GIFT OF APPRECIATION
Somewhere in Someone That No
One Else Ever Detected.

There is one thing about Helen,"
says writer in the Christian Guard
ian She has a genuine gift of ap-
probation. Whenever you speak of
anyone she always seems to bubble
over with some kindly appreciation Of
her. When someone remarked the
other day that Miss - was not at
all pretty, she broke out with Yes, but
then some people don't need to be
pretty; they're nice enough without it. >
1t is always that way with her; she
has seen the CLEAN of gold some
where in someone that no one else
ever detected or thought of looking
for. Her older sister is splendid
musician and her younger is quite a
brilliant elocutionist, but l don't know
but I'd rather have Helen's talent of
appreciating people than to have the
gifts of either of the others. l be-
lieve she gets more joy out of it and
perhaps gives more joy with it"
1t is talent toward the acquiring of
which we can do a great deal by prac-
tice, even if we seem to be lacking in
it by nature.

Best Paving Railroad.

The railroad that pays the biggest
dividends on the capital invested is,
according to the Technical World Mag
azine, the Grand Island railroad. 1t
is in northern Alberta, Canada, 200
miles from any trunk line or feed.
1t is only quarter of mile long and
built of scrap iron on wooden rails.
Its rolling stock consists of two bat
tered freight cars which are pushed
along the road by the men who ship
the freight, no locomotives being used
The freight that is handled on this
road consists principally of furs,
which are towed up the Athabasca
river on scows hauled by men, are
laden on the cars, pushed down the
railroad and shipped again on other
scows, thereby circumventing the dam
gerous Grand rapids. Returning, the
scows carry all sorts of freight for the
Hudson Bay company's factors, and
are foated down the river The Hud-
son Bay company charges $3.50 a ton
for all freight on this little railroad,
and the shipper must handle his own
goods and push the cars himself

Glass Jar.

M. w. Alexander, West Lynn, Mass,

ty organizations, announces that the
conference of the constituents of this
organization - large associations of
manufacturers = has agreed on a
standard first aid jar, made of glass,
which contains considerably larger
number and variety of medicines and
appliances than are generally found in
railroad first aid kits, says the Rail.
way Age Gazette
The jar is nine and one-half inches
in diameter, six inches high and COM
plete, with contents, weighs about
twelve pounds. Besides the usual ap-
pliances and tools it contains eight
two ounce bottles of approved rene
dies. The bottles are ingeniously ar
ranged i'll the jar so that their labels
are visible through the sides of the jar,
and any one bottle ON be taken out
without disturbing the others These
bottles contain aromatic spirits of
ammonia, white wine vinegar, castor
oil, burn ointment and Jamaica ginger.
The jar has been made strong by spe-
cial annealing treatment, and it's walls
are plain SO that the jar may easily be
kept clean
The conference board has issued a
circular of brief instructions to lay
men for first aid treatment of common
injuries and disorders, which includes
illustrated directions for resuscitating
persons who have suffered electric
shocks; the inside of the cover of the
jar is also filled with printed instruc-

After thus inserting the dart, hold
