CARE IN FASHIONING BUGLE
Army 10 a Delicate, Complicated
Process.

From start to finish, the making OF
an army bugle is process of much in
genuity and interest. A bugle may not
at first sight present striking re-
semblance to It's cousin, the coach
horn. but the one is practically q
curled-up version of the other, for, be-
fore the bugle Is bent into shape, it
consists Of a narrow tube, 81 inches
long.
In the first stage of manufacture
the bugle is cut out Of sheet copper
and rolled into two thin cylinders,
technically known as the bell and
the branch" The narrow tube, which
is the bell" is gradually shaped out
on molds until the opening is the regu-
lar finch diameter. 1t is then spun"
on wonderful machine, and an expert
workman takes the rough edges off the
copper.
Both sections are afterwards filed
with molten lead, preparatory to the
bending stage, and it is this solid
stufing which prevents the tube break
Ing In the process, and allows it to
keep its shape. The expert workman,
with the aid Of formidable lever and
hammer. bends the bugle into the IA
miliar shape, the lead being subse-
quently melted out at charcoal fur
mace, after which the instrument is
sent OF to the polishers.
One Of the most intricate parts Of
the bugle is the mouthpiece, which is
made Of nickel silver and turned out
on special lathe. With the mouth
piece fixed, the instrument is ready
for the testing groom.

SUPERIOR TO NATURAL ICE
Many Reasons Why the Artificial
Product Has Advantages-ls
More Sanitary.

Artificial ice made from distilled wa
ter, in clearly way, is free from dis
ease germs; the same cannot be said
of natural ice produced from waters
OF varying degrees of purity. There
has been a too-common impression
that water purifies itself in freezing,
and even that ice made from pollutei
sources is sterile, and therefore safe
1t is true that freezing eliminates
many of the impurities. AS the tenn
perature falls in the quiet winter
nights and the sheet of crystal forms,
the impurities, the organic matter, the
mineral salts, the bacteria are thrust
downward. But the elimination is not
complete.
For two reasons ice made from pol
luted water Is itself likely to be pol
luted. First, certain quantities of the
foreign substances in the water, small;
it is true, but none the less objection
able, are frozen into the ice. Sec
ond, ice is usually formed by alter
nate freezes and thaws through the
early winter, followed by continued
cold weather that finally closes the
lake or river. The ice that is cut often
includes, therefore, certain amount
of snow-ice or surface ice that has
had no opportunity to eliminate its i'm
purities, and retains everything that
contaminated the water of which it
was made.-The Companion.

LIKE A MOURNING DRAPERY
Interested colored Spectators Brought
Facetious Remark From Member
Of Their Race.

The darby has a sense Of humor
peculiarly his own, and he by no
means objects to a joke with reference
to his color-provided he makes it
himself, according to story that was
told by Champ Clark.
There is darby In Missouri who
has acquired considerable renown in
his locality for his taste in landscape
gardening. He was employed in set
ting out shrubs on the lawn of his en-
ployer. The owner of the place was
nowhere to be seen, but a number of
the gardeners friends were leaning
comfortably on the fence at the foot
of the lawn, watching the operations
with absorbed interest. Another
darby, who was driver for physician
living near, looked curiously at this
row Of spectators, and thus addressed
the doctor, who was getting into his
buggy:
'Doctah' very solemnly), 'dere's
somebody dead at Mistah Jones'
shore
"'Dead?' said the doctor. No such
thing, Tom. / should have heard of
it if there had been any Illness in the

Beating the Record,

A lot Of people seem to put in a lot
Of time thinking about whether their
lives are successful or failures. Usu-
ally they try to measure them by the
life and success Of someone else, and
the result isn't often satisfactory.
They're bound to come to the conclu-
sion that there are some records they
can't equal. II they are beating some
other records the suspicion creeps in
that it isn't much credit anyhow. OF
course the real trouble is that ANYBODY
who's really making good always has
something better to do than cast up
the accounts of his own achievements.
There's only one record to compare
yourself by. and that will never result
in self-satisfaction on the one hand
or encouragement on the other: for
it's your own record.-Milwaukee Jour
nal.

Robin That Reasoned,

Showing the motherly care Of a
robin, an exchange relates the follow
ing beautiful instance:
"A robins nest was filed with young
ones in sight of friends window.
The mother bird was away when vio-
lent thunderstorm came up. AS the
heavy drops began to pour down she
returned and the little ones greeted
her with open mouth, expecting food
She pressed them down with her foot
and sat on them with extended wing
to shed the hard rain, and remained
there till the storm was over.
Was there not a process of reason
here? She saw the heavy downpour
Of rain and, thinking of her exposed
children, believed they would be hurt
or drowned without her care, so she
hurried back. This is called instinct,
but instinct Is concentrated wisdom
without the process being shown"
