CARE WITH ELECTRICITY.
Extreme Caution Should Be Used In
Handling All Fixtures.

Electricians think nothing Of touch
ing with their fingers 40 volt or 900
volt A. C. or D. c. switch to ascertain
whether it is alive or not" says the
Electrical Experimenter. ION the 9TH
er hand it Is claimed in number Of
authentic cases on record that ITO
volts such as is used for ordinary light
ing circuits, has sufticed to produce IA
tai results to human being. There
fore it behooves every one to take the
utmost care in handling electrical ap-
paratus Of any nature, no matter
whether it is small toaster or an in
nocent looking electric light switch Of
the push button variety.
"a good point to keep in mind would
be to exercise extreme caution in ma
nipulatin all lamp sockets or switches
during or directly after a severe storm,
which may have blown down high volt
age wires SO as to cause them to drop
house circuits Ht
'Those having electric lights in their
homes should always exercise the
greatest care in manipulating any Of
the devices connected to such service.
In the bathroom especially they should
never touch the socket or wall switch
while standing in the bathtub or with
wet feet on a floor where there Is any
water, as these accidents happen at the
most unexpected moment. They are
practically immune from danger if they
would just take the trouble to see that
they always stand on dry floor"

ONE OF NATURES PICTURES.
A Green Heron and Something Else No
Artist Could Paint.

Artist Could Paint.
saw a simple picture Of natures
painting once, which has returned to
my memory again and again, and II 1t
could be put on canvas or fastened
in a poem it would forever remain
masterpiece of art And yet 1t was
nothing but green heron standing in
the swift shallow current Of brook
with the diamond bright wavelets
breaking around its slender legs and
tuft Of water grass trembling beside
it. l was lying, idly enough, at full
length on the brooks bank, so that be.
yond the bird, as l gazed, opened
fairy-like landscape, over which a gen.
tie breeze was blowing with an effect
wholly indescribable, shaking tall flags
and tossing the dragon flies about In
the sunshine. The whole effect was
cooling and tranquilizing, with subtle
hint in it Of land somewhere just
out Of reach where one might dream
the lotos dream forever.
Now, a good artist might easily have
painted the little scene so far us paint
ing usually goes, but it would have re-
quired such genius as Is yet to be born
to imprison in the sketch the hint Of
what seemed to lie just beyond the
dreamy horizon. None but the most
masterful genius would have been able
to keep up to the sw eet, quiet key of
the coloring and yet be satisfied with
the tender, wavering outlines and the
SOFT transparent shadows. The liquid
tones Of sound and color in the brook
came so tremendously to my senses.
along with the motion Of swaying
flags and bubble headed waves, that
the graceful bird, seen through half
closed eyes, appeared to be half fan
ciful embodiment Of the spirit Of calm
delight, knee deep In some tide Of
enchantment or romance. - Maurice
Thompson.

Force Of Habit.

Speaking Of force Of habit, some
years ago there was an iron railing
around the capitol grounds at Wash
ington. The appropriation bill provided
for q Waterman to close and lock the
gates every night at certain hour and
open them at a certain hour every
morning In the course Of time the
railing or fence was removed, but the
gates swung between their Egyptian
pillars for long time, and all that
time the Waterman came and went
regularly, closing and opening the
gates according to law and drawing
his salary.

Paper Making In Japan.

Papermaking was one Of the earliest
industries of Japan. When Europeans
were writing on the skins of animals
and leaves Of plants, ancestors of mod
ern Japanese were recording their
thoughts on paper made from wood or
vegetable fiber. Papermaking in ia
pan was probably introduced from
Korea about 61O A. D. in the reign Of
the Empress Suiko, this being the first
mention Of paper In Japanese history.
