GET RID OF THE SoUEAKS
Annoying Noises That Are Frequent
! Even In the 6est-Bullt Houses
Can Be Stopped.

There are very few houses which
do not have floors that are always
equeaking as persons walk over them.
Such squeaking is very annoying, and
many different suggestions have been
made to remedy the nuisance, but, Gu
riously enough, only few of the sug-
gestions have proven of any real
value.
Many persons think the squeaking Is
caused by the flooring boards not be-
ing properly nailed, but in most cases
this is not the case at all.
The tongues and grooves of the mar
row boards do not always fit togeth-
sr exactly tight, and little pressure
on either side OF the crack and be-
tween joints. where the boards are
nailed, will cause the boards to spring
blightly, causing the disagreeable
sQueaking sounds.
The best remedy for squeaky floor
b to apply q little liquid glue to the
cracks. This can be done by dipping
, thin strip Of metal In the glue and
inserting carefully in the crack at the
point from which the sound comes.
A knife blade can be used to APP
ply the glue. Simply dip the point
in the glue and insert In the crack.
Move the blade about slightly to re-
move the glue and make 1t stick to the
flooring, where 1t will dry in a short
time and stop the squeaking.

Seals Can Drown.

1t Is curious fact that the fur seal
was once n land animal. The baby
seais are actually afraid of water !;
they would drown IL thrown into It.,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget to walk.
There are In existence only two i'm
portant herds of fur seals, one of
which has It's breeding ground In the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
sia, the other In the Pribilof islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribllof islands are government
property, and thus 1t happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals In the world.

stories to the effect that Cantegrel
was counting his sister with great en-
thusiasm, and that his sister regarded
him with unmistakable favor. Saturn
in had reason to believe that Cantegrel
was a wicked man, and he went to
Toulouse to investigate. There he
heard many rumors which amounted
to nothing, and one story which he
considered worth investigating. 1t was
TO the effect that Cantegrel had COM
mitted various crimes In Narbonne,
where he formerly lived.
Saturnin Siadoux was a close
mouthed man. He told his children
that he was going to Narbonne for
few days, but said nothing about the
purpose of his visit. A day or two
after his departure the sons received
a letter announcing his arrival at Mar
bonnie. and saying that he would re-
turn home on a certain day. There
was so much affection and good feel
ing In this family that the sons and
daughters decided to have q big sup
per to celebrate the fathers return,
and so invited various friends, includ-
ing the cure, Father Pierre Celestin
ChaGhard. The hour came when the
parent should have returned. but he
was missing. The guests sat at the
groaning board; they waited an hour
or two, and then It was assumed that
Saturn;n must have been delayed some
where, so the feast was proceeded
with. And throughout the feast the
conduct of the priest attracted the at
tention OF the younger son. Father
Chaubard, who usually was fond OF
good viands, could not eat. He trihed
with his food, and sighed heavily.
The guests departed after the meal.
and the children and Madame Mirailhe
looked anxiously up the road time and
again for the bclated Saturnin. At
last they beheld body Of a men ap-
preaching. The men came to the door
and stopped. and. drawing apart, dis
closed the body OF saturnin Siadeux.

selves, but could find no clew that
pointed to the murderer. The three
sons OF Saturnin, who loved their
father passionately, vowed that they
would track down and bring the GRIM
inal to punishment IL they had to de-
vote their lives to the task. The two
older sons sought for clews every
where, and all in vain. The whole
business was in impenetrable mystery.
The younger son said little, but sat
brooding and thinking in quiet places.
At last he went to his two brothers
and said: IF we would know the
truth we musts force it from Father
Chaubard! lie knows! He knew when
he was at our feast why father did not
returnl"
The older brothers were shocked;
tho younger brother was insistent.
The latter had force OF character, and
soon brought his brothers to his way
of thinking. They consulted together
long time, and decided upon a plan
for learning the truth.

Siadoux must have learned things
which would disgrace him in the wild
ow's eyes forever. so he ambushed the
old man on the way home. Then he

The brothers FASTENED at once to
Toulouse to lay their information be-
fore a magistrate, and when the mag
istrate heard their story his face was
CHASTITY, and his eyes sick with terror.

sublimely ignorant OF the awful conse-

learned that the violation of the con-
fessional was the objectionable crime.
They had the satisfaction of seeing
the murderer sentenced to death and
broken upon the wheel, but at the
time they were themselves under SEN

The poor priest. who yielded under
threat OF terrible death in a caldron
of oil, suffered much worse fate. He

After the punishment OF the priest

,.HE CURE AND THE cALpRoN.

To the tired traveller the village Of

French villages; but IL he remains
there few hours he will hear a story
that will awaken his interest In the
place. For Croix- Daraude was the the
alter of O crime that has been talked
about in ths vicinity for more than
two hundred years.
In the year 1900 Saturnin Siadoux
was a prosperous oil manufacturer
there. He had his own establishment,
was out of debt, and was happy and
comfortable in his family relations.
He was sixty years old, widower,
and the father of three sons and two
daughters. He had a sister. the widow
Mirailhe, who lived at Toulouse. Her
husband had left her well provided
for, although his affairs were badly
tangled when he died in an unexpected
and extemporaneous manner. She had
a neighbor named Cantegrel, who was
of the greatest assistance in straight
ening out her financial affairs. Can
tegrel was butcher, but he was well
educated and had the acumen OF a
lawyer, and he didn't charge the widow
q red sou for his aid. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore. that Madame MI
railhe was grateful.

a Russian Jewess. All through his
life he revealed his interest in his half
brethren by his helpfulness to Jewish
students and by his active efforts to
combat anti Semitism in Russia and
elsewhere. Undoubtedly from his
mother he inherited his untiring appli-
cation to his work and his tenacity
in clinging to his theory regarding the
cause of old age and methods of pro-
longing human life. These moral
qualities may be claimed as Jewish,
although non-J Jews may have them in
as rich measure as any descendant of
