Makinu a Magnet.

The simplest way Of magnetizing O
bar Of steel is that known as 'single
touch" The bar to be magnetized is
laid on the table, and the pole Of q
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length, always
in the same direction. If the north pole
Of the magnet is employed the end OF
the bar first touched will also become
a north pole, while the opposite end, at
which the magnet is lifted before re.
turning, will be south pole.
There are other and more complicat-
ed methods, known as divided touch
and double touch," in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within a coil Of insulated
wire, through which galvanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
in this way. however, is weak com
pared with that which can be procured
if the same strength Of current Is en-
ployed through the Intervention OF an
electromagnetic.

Outside the House.

How many beautiful homes on which
money has been spent lavishly to make
them complete are marred by some de-
feet In the landscape work! A few
hours motor trip through the suburbs
Of almost any city In the country will
reveal many such cases. The most fire.
quent jar the trained eye receives is
from the poorly laid out walks and
1riveways in which badly arranged
curves are used or walks made to curve
around an oval grass plot placed in the
center for no other reason than to
make pedestrians take time to circle
about that particular grass plot. Post
men, messenger boys and others take
a short cut, and soon a path in the
proper direction is worn across the sod.
When a curve is used in a walk or
driveway there should be a reason for
it. If there is no other reason plant
one; place tree or two or shrubs in a
position so the curve will seem neces-
sary. People then will keep on the
walk, and the plan will seem reason
able.-New York Sun.

Room For Thrift.

The American Society For Thrift is
sounding a warning that should not go
unheeded. The statistics it has gath
cred indicate how reckless we are with
our money and how little we lay up for
a rainy day. We are pre-eminently a
nation of spenders who believe In liv-
ing while we live.
Statistics show that ninety-five Of
every hundred Americans who reach
the age of sixty are dependent upon
their daily earnings or on others for
support. The total, Of course, includes
wives, mothers and daughters who had
not tried nor expected to accumulate a
competency But after they are elm
mated the percentage of workers who
have a nest egg at sixty is very small,
even if that is generally considered too
young for retirement

WIN Japan Cannot Be starved.

Two of the. most interesting sights in
Tokyo are the fish market at Nihom-
bashi and the Mitsukoshi department

Tokyo. Nihombashi is not only the
geographical center of Tokyo, but OF
japan, according to the japanese, who
ought to know. Here is situated what
is probably the largest fish market in
the world. There is every kind OF fish
a man could mention and few thou
sand other varieties. Some big fellows
cut up into great steaks, weighing ten
pounds or so, and there are little ones
which would make good minnow bait.
if one could find hook small enough
not to mangle them. I think that's in

thing that does not pass through the

The British Manicure Lady.

In English barber shops you do not
have to pay for mirrors, deliberately
tiled floors and manicure girl, writes
Homer Croy in Everybody's. "Over
there a manicurist is considered the
last vocable in the way of smartness.
The manicure girl hasn't the run OF
the shop there as she has here. She
has little cage down in one corner,
where she is bottled up as if she were
a rare liquid When a man wants to
have any light homework done on his
hands he thrusts one of them through
the bars, while the proprietor hurries
up with a newspaper for him to read.
In America we would be insulted If
the owner Of the shop put something
into our hands to read while the mani
cure girl was working on us. In Eng
land the art of jollying the manicurist
is unknown"
