USING THE SEWING MACHINE
One Who Does Much Sewing Should
See That 1t Is Always in
Perfect Condition.

When much machine work has
be done, filling the shuttle is a con-
slant annoyance. This can be part
ly obviated by threading the shuttle
with finer cotton than that used on
the needle. The sewing will be quite
as strong, and the shuttle will not
need refilling half so often as it
would if threaded with the same num-
Der of cotton as the needle, because
the spool will hold a great deal more
of the finer cotton.
If you want your sewing machine
to do satisfactory work, remember
that 1t needs to be kept clean. After
every ten hours work it needs oil,
but all surplus oil must be carefully
wiped off afterwards. Always work
it steadily, and never start or stop
with a jerk.
One dressmaker, whose machines
are noted amongst her sewing girls
for their smooth and easy running,
oils them once in every three times
with paraffin instead of the usual oil
OF course she is careful that the ma
chimes are kept scrupulously clean. A
dirty machine can't be expected to do
good work
When your machine is not in USE
see that the wheels are left so that
the oil holes are at the top of the
hub. This will save clearing away
the superfuous oil, which trickles out
and causes the hub to catch the dust.
Before you begin to sew take an
odd piece of material and stitch back
wards and forwards before commenc-
Ing ordinary work. If any Oil works
up with the needle, as so frequently
happens after oiling or cleaning, it
will not spoil your material.
Treat a machine as a delicate in
strument, and keep it away from
draughts and damp

His Lame Excuse.

Poor little Mrs. Marrow was not at
all pleased with the tradesmen Of the
health-giying, picturesque, and charm
ing-see advertisement-sea re-
sort at which she and her brood were
spending the summer holiday.
But the grocer! Well, in Papa
Marrow's language, he was the abso-
lutte "it'' in limits.
One morning, after waiting nearly
40 minutes to be served with a packet
of currants, the poor little lady ven
tured TO protest to the perspiring pro-
prietor, who was struggling with
about fifteen customers at once.
Cant you serve me now?" she
asked.
One moment, ma'am! Won't keep
you a second, ma'am," replied the
grocer, hopping his brow with a cur
rant loaf. 1.-THE truth Is Pm rather
handicapped this morning. My right

SHIPPERS New Title.

AS rule shippers, outside the
three-mile limit, manage to show In
some way or other that they are SOW
ereigns of the deep, carrying out the
ancient saying that a captain is the
king of his ship" There was one
exclusive captain sailing out Of San
Francisco who not only had his own
steamer chair, but made known the
fact that 1t was his chair and his
alone by having painted across the
back the words Captain only"
The day after the vessel sailed on
a particular voyage one of the pas
sengers happened to seat himself in
the shippers deck chair and was i'm.
mediately told by steward that the
chair was for the comfort Of none
but the captain. The passenger arose
and having circled the deck several
times, saw the skipper reclining in the
chair.
He strolled leisurely over.
Good morning, Captain Only" he
said, with a mock salute, and passed
on.

Early Views of Suez.

The governments notification that
enemy ships are not to be allowed to
shelter in the Suez canal reminds us
Of the strange views as to the military
future of the canal entertained by
those who opposed its construction.
Lord Palmerston insisted that its OBJ.
vious purpose was "the barring of the
passage along the coast of the Med.
iterranean to any Turkish army which
might be employed to restore the EN-.
pire of the sultan, by opening a great
military canal 800 feet broad and 80
feet deep, laid with batteries" AS a
commercial enterprise, he pronounced
the scheme "a mere bubble" But in
this prophecy he was not singular The
Times in 1859 wrote of the suspicious
project of the impracticable Suez
canal" and Disraeli, who was after
wards to buy the canal shares, called
it "a most futile idea, totally impos-
sible to be carried out. London Daily
Chronicle.

Broken Spe cter.

An interesting example of the Brock
en- Specter was recently described by
Sir Thomas Holdich at meeting of the
Royal Geographical society. 1t ap-
pears that there is a mountain called
Omi on the borders of China and
Tibet, where it was claimed that the
devout worshiper might occasionally
see, from the summit, the image of his
great teacher Buddha approaching the
mountain. This belief was recorded
as a mere idle superstition by ex-
plorers, until one of the latter hap
pened to ascend the mountain under
suitable atmospheric conditions and
saw his own, apparently colossal,

New Torpedo Explosive.

A new submarine mine explosive
called "trotol," which cannot be set off
by percussion, but which has to be
confined and fired by electricity, was
employed in the recent annual war
test Of submarine mines off Sandy
Hook. Trotol, it is declared, can be
melted and handled without any dan
ger. Mines loaded with 100 pounds
of the new explosive and fired during
the recent test threw columns of wa
ter and pieces of targets two hundred
and fifty to three hundred and fifty
feet in the air. Each mine was al
lowed to remain in the water two
hours before being exploded in order
to test the water-tight joints in the
cable containing the firing circuit

SHED THE BEST WASHR0OM
Ia Advantages Are Many, Where Such
an Apartment Is at the Command
of Housewife.

In case a woodshed is available,
with an old stove that can be used
there, these should be pressed into
service for washing during the winter
months. The woodshed as a wash
room would necessitate washday
which is mild and sunshiny, but there
.s usually more than one such day in
each week; and when the health of
the family is at stake, the washing
can well be done on some other day
than Monday. At best, the woodshed
would be cold, hence the worker would
need a piece Of old carpet or linoleum
and warm bricks or a soapstone to
protect her feet while standing at the
tubs.
A small bench on rollers, made the
same height as the wash bench, will
enable the housewife to move the filled
tubs about without any lifting. Such
preparations on the day previous are
necessary in order to shorten the proc
esses on washday and hasten the dry
ing of clothes, for the earlier in the
day that some of the clothes can be
put on the line, the less need there will
be for the remainder to lie wet in the
house or to be dried there.
In case a shed is too cold for use in
all processes of washing, it should be
used for those which send off much
steam, such as running clothes through
the washing machine. Wringer, wash
bench, boiler, basket and hamper
should be kept in this shed rather
than carried from the cellar and back,
or rather than keep doors open while
carrying them from the smokehouse
to washroo.n, as is sometimes done.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF VIOLIN
instrument Should Be Placed In
Wooden Case, Lined With Cloth,
and Carefully Kept Dry.

Boys who possess violins will find
the following tips very useful.
1t should be kept in a wooden case
lined with cloth.
Carefully keep it from the damp.
Do not keep it in hot place, or the
wood will become brittle and the
strings dry.
Always place it in its case when
carrying 1t from one place to another
Keep it in its case in summer when
not in use, as dust accumulates inside
and out.
Keep 1t perfectly clean. Carefully
wipe dust or resin dust off with a
soft linen cloth.
To clean it inside. take good hand
full of barley, heat it, and put it inside
the violin. Shake about WELL wher
the dust will adhere to the barley and
can be shaken out.

PURlN FOOD MATTER.

Emil Fischer first called attention
to nucleus composed of carbon, by.
drogen and nitrogen, which he called
"Purin," and which Is found to be
widely distributed among food mat
tiers. The purin bodies are regarded
as the parent substance of compounds
of the uric acid and xanthin group
which are progressively oxidized purin
nuclei, running about as follows:
Purin; adenin, or amino-purin; guam.
in, or amino-oxy-purin; hypoxanthin,
or oxy purin; xanthin, or dioxy-purin;
uric acid, or trioxy-purin, uric acid be-
ing the most highly oxidized purin
Of the group.
About twelve different combinations
of the purin nucleus are known to ex.
list in nature, but not fewer than 146
have been produced in the laboratory
How many may be formed in the body
in the cycle between the protein in
take and the heterogeneous excreta and
their final effect on human health and
happiness is not known, but certainly
they exert profound influence on us.
Purin bodies are stimulants and
they exist in all meat extracts, in the
flesh meats of ordinary consumption
and in much larger quantities in the
glandular organs. In lesser amounts
they occur in many vegetables and
grains, as in oats, the potato and the
sugar beet. Caffein, the active prin-
ciple of coffee and tea, and theobro-
min, the active principle of cocoa, are
respectively trimethyl and dimethyl
compounds of xanthin.
Hall names a number of common
foods containing purin bodies, and the
following list gives the amount con-
tanned per pound:
