Miscellany
Making a end

Often you come across people who
complain that they have but few
friends. They will point to other per
sons who have many and wonder why
such a distinction is made.
The matter is easy enough to explain,
for, as some one has we'll said. the only
way to have a friend is to be one.
For friendship cannot possibly be Il
II sided matter. Just as it takes two
to make a bargain or a quarrel, so does
1t take the same number to make a
friendship.
No one can stand aloof from others
waiting to be sought without expert
encing keen disappointment, this be-
cause friendships are not made that
way. People do not look you over as
you stand off by yourself and say:
Now, there's some II I'd like to
know. I'll make a point to draw him
Or her out and take all the pains posi-
bic to establish a friendship"
That's o the way it happens in
real life. although some still imagine
| that 1t is. What really happens Is
this:s Two persons meet, and gradually
they find points of co%ngeniality, grad
ually each does little favors for the
other, gradually a feeling Of affection
| takes root in each heart. Neither one
is thinking Of what can be gained from
the acquaintance; rather, each is think
ing and planning to give instead Of
take. In other words, each is trying
to be a friend u%nselfshly. And, 10, 1t
Is the very thing which makes their
friendship.
Bear that in mind If you happen to
be among those who lament their
| scarcity of friends.-New York Tele-
| gram.

Method of Cleaning
Silver Without Rubbing

An easy and effective method of
cleaning furnished silverware by boil
ing in a soda and salt solution in con-
tact with a clean piece of aluminium or
zinc is recommended to housewives by
the United States department of agri-
culture as a result Of studies made by
its specialists in home economics.
The electrolytic cleaning method de-
ponds on the facts that this tarnish of
silver sulphid is lightly soluble in
the hot solution employed and that it
is broken down chemically and its
silver content redeposited OF the ware
when the proper electrical conditions
prevail. The presence Of both the sill
YER and the aluminium or zinc in the
hot solution provides the necessary
electrical conditions. Under this meth
cd, therefore, practically all the silver
in the tarnish is returned to the OBJ
ject being cleaned. When silver pol
ishes are used, on the other hand, all
the silver in combination in the tar
nish is removed.
In the cleaning method recommend
ed by the department the necessary
materials are a graniteware cooking
utensil deep enough to allow the silver
ware to be covered by the solution. a
clean piece Of aluminium or zinc, pref
erably the former. and baking or wash
ing soda. The solution. consisting Of
a teaspoonful Of baking or washing
soda and a like amount Of table salt to
each quart of water. is brought to a
boil in a graniteware or enameled
utensil. A sheet Of aluminium or clean
zinc is dropped in. The furnished sill
verware is then immersed in the solu-
ton so that it is in contact with the
sheet of aluminium or zinc. The tar.
nish should disappear in a few sec
onds. The silver object should then be
removed from the solution. rinsed and
dried with a soft cloth. Aluminium
Is much more satisfactory than zinc
for ns" in this cleaning process.

The Author of Evil

Inquire NJ longer who is the author
of evil. Behold him in yourself. There
exists no other evil in nature than
what you either do or suffer. and you
are equally the author of both. A gen
eral evil could exist only in disorder,
but in the system of nature l see an
established order which is never dis
turbed. Particular evil exists only in
the sentiment of the suffering being.
and this sentiment is not given to man
by nature. but is his own acquisition.
Pain and sorrow have but little hold
on those who, unaccustomed to ref1ec-
ton. have neither memory nor fore
sight. Take away u fatal improve
ments, take away our errors and our
vices, take away. in short, everything
that is the work of man, and all that
remains is good.-Jean jacques Rous-
Seau.

HEDGE OF SWEET PEAS ON IMPROVED
GROUNDS OF INcINERAToR PLANT.
a fast growing city like Portland the
plant proved in a very short time to be
too small. To overcome the situation
part of the garbage had to be buried
N the dump. AS there is always a
considerable amount Of paper mixed
with the garbage. the dump soon
caught fire. sending the stencil from
the burning garbage over the residence
section of the city. Those fires were
the cause of a strong demand for the
removal of the plant and the dump and
for the installation of a new and up to
date plant. The contract for the con-
struction of a $50 ton moderator, to
be erected in the same locality. was
let to a local company in 1910, and the
plant was accepted by the city of Port
land in December. 1911. After a long
and vigorous test it proved to be a
great success from both the sanitary
and economical points of view.
With the garbage disposal question
solved. attention could now be given to
the improvement Of the filthy and un-
slightly condition on the ground and
dump surrounding the plant. To ac-
complish this the ground had to be
raised in places from six to twenty
feet to bring it level with the ground
floor of the building. Only noncom-
bustible material was used in this fill.
mostly wood ashes hauled in by gar
bage collectors. This took considerable
time, but in the spring of 1914 we had
a small part of the older fill sowed in
white clover. The result of this expert
ment was a surprise and showed what
ashes, when leached out for about a
year, could grow. The ground was
seeded, and by July the lawn was in
as fine a condition as any lawn in the
city.
1t has cost the city for seed up to
the present date 1884. All the flowers.
bulbs, plants and shrubs We're either
donated by friends or obtained from
refuse hauled to the incinerator to be
destroyed. Two hundred rose bushes
were given to the plant in the fall of
1914 by James o. Convill. superintend-
ent of city parks. and about 100 have
been added since. The last lot are
very choice roses and were sent to the
plant by a local floral house a little
after the planting season. Free offers
Of new varieties of sweet peas and
other flower seeds for the privilege Of
testing them at the ground the coming
season have been made by seed deal
ers. The ground and location are ideal
In bringing the foliage. shape and color
of the flowers to perfection.
With the coming season the improve.
ments will be extended. and in u very
short time the city will have a beauti.

like so many American cities. consid-

bage, writes William G. HELLER in the
American City. An in%cinerating sys-

purpose the city purchased a five acre
tract as a site for a crematory and
public dump. This tract is located
within two miles from the center of
the city, adjoining a lake. In 1897 the
city built a crematory Of twenty-five
ton capacity on this new location. For
