Graphite as a Lubricant.


Graphite, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is not lubricant, but an aid to
keeping a bearing In good working Or
der by filling up the minute IRREGULAR
ties Of the shaft and bearing and pro-
ducing beautiful polished surface
and In this way reduces friction. To
get this result only very small guam
tity Of graphite is necessary, and II
too much is applied 1t simply collects
in wads and defeats the purpose In
tended. 1t follows that the proper way
to use graphite successfully Is to mix
thoroughly small quantity with the
lubricating oil at suitable intervals and
not to apply it continuously, for when
the above mentioned polished surface
is formed 1t will last quite lolng time
before requiring renewal.

Eortraaa. silanna. GlonmI

The fortress of St. Peter and st. Paul
is the gloomiest Of bastiles. 1t stands
on the bank of the Neva in Petrograd,
opposite what was the Winter palace
of Russia's masters. 1t is veritable
temple Of silence, such as Carlyle sigh
ed for in vain. Prince Krspotkin, who
spent many weary months within its
walls, tells how the officers moved
about with silent tread. The floor Of
his cell was covered with felt, and he
found that though the walls had the
appearance Of being paper the paper
was only pasted on canvas, behind
which was a wire grating packed With
layers Of felt Krapotkin measured
his cell and found that ten steps from
one corner to the other repeated $50
times was two-thirds Of a mile. He
desired to walk five miles q day and
accomplished his task walking rapidly
to the corners, but turning slowly to
avoid dizziness.

After months spent in idolatrous
lands have been unable to see much
real worship In heather shrines The
educated worship with their tongues
In their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts In their mouths. But the
amount Of real worship that exists in
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of a departed lit,
tie one and tie 1t to the statue Of Jizo,
the god Of motherhood. Sometimes an
old man OF woman, almost blind, will
enter the temple and rub the eyes OF
a wooden god and then rub his own In
the hope that eternal darkness may
not close in on his affdghted soul. In
some places Buddhist services are as
dignifled, as well attended and as help
full as our Own.-Maynard Owen VII.

MEANING of 5000 .ooo. 600.

Americas war loan Of $7,000,000,-

fury ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the gov
eminent for fully seven years on the
basis of the annual expenditures for
the last decade. Another and more
cheerful way Of looking at the situa-
ton is that, great as the loan is, the
wealth of the United States is such
that 1t amounts to the lending Of 81
out Of every $40 Of our existing tangi-
BILE resources. A penny day saved by
every inhabitant would cancel the prin-
cipal within twenty years.-Thomas f..

Courtesy TO the FLAG,

Civilians have all kinds Of trouble
when visiting military camp, because
they invariably attempt to pass the
flag waving at regimental or brigade
headquarters without paying 1t any
more recognition than they would an
ice wagon or a garbage can. But in
such places they are compelled to ex-
tend proper courtesy to the flag Of
their country. There is always a hawk
faced colonel roosting in the black
depths Of his tent just behind the col
ors, and woe 10 the soldier on guard If
he lets a civilian 60 past without sa-
luting.
When a civilian starts to pass the
colors without removing his hat the
sentry, knowing that the regimental
hawk is glaring balefully at him,
swoops down on the surprised civilian
and sternly says, Take off your hat"
Women, Of course, cannot take of
their hats to the colors, but as they
pass the colors or the colors are car
ried by them, they can at least stop
talking and keep their eyes fastened on

The Latchstrinu Ia Out.

The saying "The latchstring Is out"
signifies hospitality. 1t is a standing
invitation to visit the party who uses
1t. In early times throughout New
England and other parts Of the coup-
try the houses were built of logs, and
the door fastenings were simply q
wooden latch on, tho inside Of the door,
which fell into a notched stick In the
doorpost. The simple contrivance was
owing to the fact that nails and IRON
were hard to get On the inside the
latch was lifted by the hand easily, but
to lift it from the outside a hole was
bored in the door, which was made OF
slabs, and string passed through,
which was fastened to the latch. BY
pulling the string the latch was lifted
and the door opened. To lock the door
the string was drawn inside SO that a
person on the outside could not use It.

Lift Your Corns
 Off With Fingers

You reckless men and women who have at least once week in who have at laest once week in- vited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or callus Sthe soreness is%re- lieved and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts@off with the fingers.
 Freezone dries thefmoment it is applied, and simply shrivels the corn or callus without inflaming CT even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will positively rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get itN at any wholesale drug house for you. *tf
