HOME SONG.


I
(Tune, my Old Kentucky Home)
am far from my home, and the way IL
| growing long.
| A pilgram. stranger. l must roam
No place for me where the merry max
ers throng.
No rest where mortal sorrows come
II have climbed the rugged mountains
I where no pathway led my feet.
have toiled DER the deserts hottest
sands.
| have sailsd on the sea when wild
storms in fury beat,
have pitched my moving tent in
many lands.
Chorus
Sing, my soul rejoicing. song OF home
to-day
OF thy Fathers house where the
many mansions be.
On the shining hills OF glory far away.
There are mem'ries dear of my child
hoods golden days,
They are shining In the twilight OF
the years;
There are lingering voices calling me
from long untrodden ways
Their music melts my sadness into
tears.
In the lordly halls OF feasting whence
the brave and bright have fled,
There are dusky phantoms gliding
slow;
The fields OF martial glory are the
chambers OF the dead,
And the winds chant their dirges long
and low.
] shall rest no more In the fading
dreams Of time,
l mhst have what their joys can ne'er
bestow;
Let me press my pilgrim way, the
Mount of Vision let me climb,
There is glory cleaning yonder--let
me gol
can see the Holy City whose founda-
tions sure remain,
The homes where the saints forever
dwell:
/ can hear familiar voices; / shall find
my friends again:
Fare thee well. delusive world-a long
farewell!
The first rendition in the State of
Kentucky OF the above song was on
May ID. 1916, by the quartette of Union
Church, Covington, following the Lea

ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivei up
corns or eaIlouses so they lift
off with fingers.

Ouch :? :? n This kind Of rough
talk will be heard less here In town II
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice OF this Cincinnati
authority. who claims that few drops
OF drug called freezone when applied
to a tender. aching corn or hardened
callous stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callous dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries immediately
and never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle OF
freezone win cost very little at any
drug store. but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn TOR callous from
ones feet Millions OF American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration Of the high heels. II
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order a small bottle for you.

NEW TROUGH WATERS STOCK
Animal, Stepping on Platform, Opens
Valves Which Allow Fresh, Cold
Stream to Pour In.

A trough has been invented which
can gauge the amount of water an ami
NAL drinks. There is platform which
works In conjunction with valves on
the supply and drain pipes of the
trough. When an animal steps on the
platform the valves are opened and a
stream Of water pours in. AS he slakes
his thirst and steps off the platform
the inlet is closed and the surplus wa
ter is drained off.
The valve mechanism of this device
Is mounted In a concrete well In the
ground. The valve of the supply pipe
and the valve of the drain pipe are
mounted side by side, end the stems of
both valves fit into a single operating
lever. Hinged above this mechanism
at the level of the ground Is the plat
form. The front end of the platform
is raised slightly by a pair Of springs
and is connected with the lever of the
valves. The water trough lies Just in
front of the platform.
AS soon as an animal walks on the
platform he presses the front end down
and opens the valves of the trough
pipes. The water gushes in at just the
rate that he will drink His thirst
quenched, he leaves the platform, the
springs raise 1t up and close the valves.
Very little water is wasted. and the
drink furnished the thirsty animal is
as cool and fresh as that which is sup
piled to the farmer and his men.

SOAP BUBBLES ARE DURABLE
II Blown In Accordance With scien.
lists Directions They Can Be
Made to Last for Months,

The transient existence Of the soap
bubble Is proverbial, but Prof. ]. Dew
er, In a discourse delivered at the
Royal institution in London, explained
how soap bubbles could be made to
last for months. and exhibited several
specimens.
The first requisite is that the air
used In blowing the bubble shall be
free from dust. In Professor Dewar's
process the air is filtered through cot
ton wool, and the bubbles are blown by
opening stopcock in the air-supply
tube. For the soap solution he prefers
the purest oleic acid (tested by the
iodine number) and ammonium soap
(not potassium or sodium.l
To make bubble durable the sac Of
liquid must be removed from its bot
tom by suction through tubes applied
from outside. The lecturer showed
bubbles more than half a yard In d.
ameter, blown In glass vessels contain
ing pure air at atmospheric pressure.
A little water Is kept at the bottom
Of the vessel. A uniform temperature
Of about 90 degrees Fahrenheit Is fa-
vorable to longevity.
Professor Dewar said some of the
smaller bubbles were year old.

At half past nine that night Carrots

Babbette's gay silk stockings were be-
