Weeping stove pipes, from the Joints of which a tarllke liquid leaks out, is often a difficult trouble to remedy. It Is due to Insufficient druft. The sinoke moving slowly tnrougn tlie pipes condenses, and the liquid so formed oo*es out at the Joints of tho pipes. Sometimes hnvltiK the pipes on nn Incline, upwards townrds the chimney, will Increase the draft. Some find Hint a little opening In the pipe next the chimney, with a sliding cover, increases the draft up the chimney, when open, and so causes the smoke to pass out quickly. It all comes to this: Increase the draft and the heat <>f the pipes, and so cause the smoke to pass out so quickly that It cannot cool and condense In the pipes. Building Ships White You Walt.

CHRISTMAS EPIGRAMS m ^ It is a wise Santa who keeps his whiskers away from the candles. , Better broken toys than broken hearts. Never look a gift in the price tag. Many a man puts on long white whiskers and thinks he looks like Santa Claus when he looks more like a goat? and perhaps he is. One thing they missed during the Spanish Inquisition ?Christmas cigars! Shopping done in time is the noblest work of woman! A Christmas gift by any other name doesn't cost half as much. A gift in the hand is worth two in the postoffice. Many a man gets a girl llnrlor +V*a mieflafAa e>n1ir t r\ find himself, a little later, under her thumb. A pound of steak to a poor man is worth a ton of holiday greetings.
