Hang Them Up

Brooms, brushes and mops should be
hung by strings or screw-eyes Fastened
TO the handles so that the weight does
not rest on the straws, bristles, or
strings. Carpet sweepers also should
be set so that the weight does not come
on the brushes. The hair and lint which
accumulate in brushes especially in
CARPET sweepers, may be taken out with
an old buttonhook., coarse comb, or
old scissors. Corn brooms may be
washed in hot soapsuds, but care must
be taken not to let the water rust the
wires which hold the straws to the
handle.

THERE was that unmistakable air
L Of expectancy this morning which
meant that something lovely was about

People hurried along with that quiet,

Pretty soon after that the children
began coming along in groups, in
crowds, by twos and threes.
They were all full of anticipation,
too.
1t was about the most democratic
sight you can imagine-beautifully
dressed, carefully curled little things,
with nurses or mothers; raggedy, dirty
tousled little things without anybody
cute little oolored things, funny little
white things, all smiling, all tickled To
pieces about something.
And 10 might well have been demo
cratic-for It all took place right in the
heart Of democracy, Washington, ID. G.

happy, for they were going to the egg

Retired Persons.

The proverbial ''busman's holiday"
is~nothing to that of the man who re-
tires from business. Some months ago
the manager of London bank retired.
Since then he has looked in most days
'jast to see how they are getting on"
Equally bad is the case of provincial
theater manager, an old actor well
known in London's theatrical world.
He also retired. bidding his staff a
long farewell with much emotion. 1t
was understood he was going to live in
quiet little place in Surrey. A fort
night later he turned up in his old
theater as director of travelling COM

SNOW PENlTENTs OF ANDES
Remarkable Illusion Which Is Brought
About BY the Action of the
Elements.

In the higher Andes of Argentina
and Chile, within very limited re-
gion, where there is polar climate in
which no human beings can dwell, the
so-called Snow Penitents assemble.
The traveller comes unexpectedly
upon a great throng of them, gathered
on the barren slope of mountain
peak. Seen from a little distance,
they have the appearance of crowd
of hooded monks, all in white and
kneeling in serried lines. 1t is a re
markable illusion, for the monks are
not human at all, nor alive. Each one
Of them is a block of snow and ice.
One theory of this phenomenon is that
the fallen snow may be of uneven
density and that the powerful rays of
an overhead sun first melt those parts
of it around the denser spots, leaving
the latter still frozen, to assume the
form of snow men.
AS the snow continues to melt. water
trickling down from the blocks may
help to deepen the surrounding hol-
lows, while prevented from accumulat-
ing in the latter by the slope of the
mountains. The arrangement of the
white figures in rows may be explained
by the slope, the water all Craining in
one direction. This, however, & only
one of several theories offered in ex-

tents,' as it is called in that part of
