SUCH IS LIFE IN NEW YORK
Only by Accident Did Residents of
Apartment in Big City Discover
Neighbor Is Old Friend.

Two boisterous children romping in
the halls of a large uptown apartment
house in New York met middle-aged
man and forcibly dragged him into the
library, where they proceeded to play
horse" with him by riding on his back
while he galloped around the room on
his hands ana knees.
They made so much noise that men,
bers of the family opened the door and
looked in. With the two children still
clinging to his back with all their might
they wouldn't let go-the man stood
up and bowed.
Pardon me-" he said. "You see, l
live in the apartment opposite yours
and your children are very old friends
Of mine. We play together on the
stairs. But have not seen them for
so long that this evening / ventured
to renew acquaintance with them"
Then he went back to his hands and
knees and resumed his wild antics
with the children.
AS it developed, he was man the
Family had met abroad q year before.
Not until the children used him as a
horse did they discover he was their
near neighbor.
Such is life in New York apartments.

A Legend.

Once upon a time the python did
not have to depend upon its strength
to kill its enemies. The story says
that this huge serpent was the only
one of the big snake family that was
poisonous, and he was so terrible that
he could kill man by biting his foot
prints in the earth.
The crow was just as mischievous
bird then rs now. One day he
watched for the python, and when he
was under the tree where the bird was
perched, Mr.. Grow had a brilliant idea.
SO he told the python that the last
man whose footprints he had bitten
had not died. He was alive and per-
fectly well. This was too much for
the python's pride. He spat out all of
the poison and the other snakes swal.
lowed it, so that they became the poi
sOnous ones and the python was left
with only his enormous strength as his
weapon. From this time on he had to-
crush the life out of his victims.

Most-Souqht-After Thing.

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
Men have been living in this world
for many centuries. They have traded
in their lives for many different things
fame, money, power. But the con-
sensus of opinion through the ages is
that the thing most to be desired is
happiness. No man can be really
happy unless his conscience is clear {;
therefore it pays to be honest and to
treat the other fellow as one would like
to be treated. No one can be happy
who sacrifices his health; therefore
fame and too much mOney-either of
which usually demand health in ex-
change-are not to be desired. No man
can have the highest happiness unless
he can feel that he is doing a little
good by living, that he is going to leave
the world bit better after he has gone.
Therefore it pays to bring children
into the world and care for them; it
pays to be a good neighbor and good
employer and a good friend"

The Unadventurous,

AT every corner handkerchiefs drop,
fingers beckon, eyes besiege, and the
last, the lonely, the rapturous, the
mysterious, the perilous, changing
clews of adventure are slipped into
our fingers. But few of us are will
ing to hold and follow them. We are
grown stiff with the ramrod of con-
vention down our backs. We pass on
and some day we come, at the end of
very dull life, to reflect that our
romance has been a potted thing of h
marriage or two, satin rosette, kept
n safe deposit drawer, and life
Lung feud with u steam radiatoE.-'-
e. henry in the Screen DtEr."

GLAZING Windows Without Putty.

Glass panes can be held in place
without the use of putty by the use of
flexible metal or rubber strip like
partly open tube laid upon the pane
and held down by a set of clamps
spaced along the pane, says the Scien-
tific American. First apply the pane
of glass so as to fit it into the usual
recess, then lay the prepared metal
spring strip along one side and screw
on plate at the corners of the pane
and, say one at the middle, these be-
ing flat plates with q somewhat in
curved edge where they take hold of
the spring strip, and are screwed on
the woodwork at the side of the pane
with the curved edge projecting out
and over the pane so as to inclose the
strip. The latter are of course put
on at all four sides of the pane.
A double pane with air space be-
tween can be applied by using a deep
recess and just laying the pane, then
the strip, next a second pane and
finally a strip that now comes flush
with the woodwork and can be fas-
tened down by the metal plate as be-
fore.

Cables Contain Much Wire.

1t is estimated that the total length
of wire in the sheathlng and core of
the worlds cables made since their in
PRODUCTION in 1857 is sufficient to reach
from the earth to the moon. Where
the sea is about three miles deep, and
the ship is steaming at it's usual rate,
in paying out new line, it has been
found that over two and half hours
pass before the cable reaches the bed
of the sea. BY the time the cable has
settled to rest the ship is 25 miles
away.

Pride a STRANGE Thinu.

Pride is strange thing. For In
stance, man would much rather be
seen by the younger and prettler set
of neighbor women filling up the gaso-
line tank than emptying the garbage,
though the latter net is really much
more commendable in that he just
does II to help his poor, Woodworking
wife that much.-COlumbus CO., Jour-
nal.

Roots Must Have Room,

The yield Of cotton is dependent
upon the number of flowers we are
able to induce the plant to form, and
root space is necessary TO Towering
The cotton plants normal roofing may
occupy two square yards of earth,
which is several times more than given
it In practice, and the yield may often
be reduced by this fact as the roots
must interlap.

NURSING slckly plants.

Sticky plants, like sickly people, can
not stand extremes. Sticky pot plants
may often be more quickly brought
back TO health by watering with very
warm water only. Low vitality viii

water or less than 10 degrees of tenn
DerQture.
