For Conserving Heat In Pipes.

An excellent covering for steam
pipes may be made from materials
that are always available. Take some
fine sawdust and screen it through q
sieve to remove any foreign bodies.
Prepare a thin paste of flour and wa
ter and mix the sawdust thoroughly
with this paste. With small trowei
the mixture so prepared should be ap-
piled i'll about FIVE coats to the steam
pipes while they are slightly warm.
Each coat should be thoroughly dry
before the next is applied. If the
steam pipes are in an exposed sltua-
ton three or four coats of coal tar
should be applied after the paste has
dried. If inside building this water.
prooflng Is unnecessary. Steam pipes
treated with the sawdust as above
lose very little heat.-Popular Science

FUN MAKERS TROUBLES. :
Civilized countries have generally
abolished chatteI slavery, but all the
people therein are not civilized and
some must be amused like the ty-
rants of old in order to make them
fit for association in safety. Hence
the enslavement of the fun makers.
The slave under contract to pro-
duCe a column of fun every day, at
so much per week, escapes the phys
zeal fatigue Of the cotton and sugar
CUltiVatOr, but gets so tired mental
. ly that he becomes constituencies
and will substitute any old thing for
humOr. His mind gets so hardened
that he passes wit by Unrecognized
and laughs Obscenely at thoughts de-
grading and saIaciOUs.
The deeply moral and highly relig-
iOus Tribune works it hUmor founder
overtime. Here is a choice selection:
"STTUATION WANTED - Ladies
laundered reasonable; outside dry

If he had remained sane long
enough to perceive, he would have
known that none but sOftening
brains could laugh at the idea of
ladies being laUndered and hung up
to dry outside. He would have
omitted the suggestion try Wilson
Beach"
But the sympathy of all discrim-
mating minds covers the Overworked

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch. { In the list of hospital supplies. furnished Vienna soldier hospitals, is the following: 1, ,067, $50 packages of cigarettes (21, 35S 600 cigarettesl, 44,712 packages of cigars Q,- IF, 700 cgars), 2l.SoS pounds of smoking tobacco
 In this connection it is interesting to
 note that every army corps of the Ger
 man army, before Christmas included ci- earettes and cigars, smoking tobacco and pipes among the articles desired by them as a Christmas present from home, and that every of the 160,000 packages sent to the front contained something to , smoke.
 The English private practice of sending the soldiers at the front chocolate bon bons in one stocking foot and cigarettes 1 in the other is of the same order. ] Among the booty left behind them by
 the Russians at Przemysl was a vast
 stock of cigarettes, cigars and smoking | tobacco, and in Paris there is a ladies
 auxiliary which has as it's sole objec-
 tive the supplying the soldiers with ci- 1 garettes.
 Altogether this war seems to be as much
