All PIodders.

have known several men who may
be recognized in days to come as men
of genius, and they We're all plodders,
Woodworking intent men. Genius Is
known by its works; genius without
works is blind faith, dumb oracle.
But meritorious works are the result
of time and labor, and cannot be ac-
complished by intention or by wish.
Every great work is the result OF
time, of vast preparatory training
Facility comes by labor. - George

Kermit to go open the oven door and
see if the pies were getting too brown.

and the juice was bubbling out of the
top Of the pies while the crust was
heaving up and down. Kermit opened
the oven door and said mo. they're
not too brown, but they're breathin'
awful hard"

of Vienna. A print of the period shows
the Turk on his sick bed and doctors,
representing the nations OF Europe
gathered about him.

To make cheap filter, take large
flower pot and stop the hole with a
sponge. Cover with few inches of
powdered charcoal; fill with water
and let it stand over a pail supported
by two or three sticks. The water
flltering through the charcoal will be
freed from all impurities. The char
coal should be changed every three
months.
