Not Patented.
Co-operation is the keynote in suc
cessful accident prevention work
Many large manufacturers who have
designed accident prevention devices
for their own use have not patented
them in order that others may utilize
their ideas. A large railroad company
which has designed ali of the accident
prevention apparatus in use in its ma
chine shops is willing to furnish blue
prints of the devices to those who de
sire to install them in their plants.
Character Told by thc Nose.
It is an ancient belief that the nose
Indicates ancestry. We speak about
the aristocratic nose with its hi.nh
bridge and the plebeian nose of the
toiler. Certainly, in a gnat many
cases, race can be distinguished by
the nose. The Hebrew could hardly
be confused with the typical negro
nose. The highly-arched nose is sup
posed to indicate tendency to rule, and
the flattened nose shows servility.
Love.
This I, moreover, hold and dare af
firm where'er my rhyme may go.
Whatever things be sweet or fair, love
makes them so. Whether it be the lul
labies that charm to rest the nursling
bird, or that sweet confidence of sighs
and blushes, made without a word.
"Whether the dazzling and the flush of
softly sumptuous garden bowers, or by
Borne cabin door, a bush of ragged
flowers.-Alice Cary.
All In the Vision.
Some people think that everything
Jn the world is twisted and corrupt,
and that no human being can be
trusted. Others who are wiser feel
?ery differently about it. As Ruskin
says: "In all things throughout the
world, the men who look for the
crooked will see the crooked, and the
man who looks for the straight will
see the straight.".
Preserving Pencil Writing.
If you have a penciled letter which
you want to keep a long while, lay it in
a shallow dish and cover it with
skimmed milk. When the paper is
thoroughly soaked through let the
milk drain off. and dry the paper very
gradually. This makes the writing
fast, so that it cannot be easily rubbed
out
Whole Families in Sr.me Tr?de.
Among the silver musters of Shef
field, England, it is rather an estab- ?
lished practise to encourage the em
ployment of families, lt is more the
rule than otherwise that a father work
ing in the silver trade will apprentice
his children to that trade as they ar
- -? working age.

Pewer Study for Ministry.
Statis'ics show that in the early i
days of American colleges about one
half the graduates adopted the min- j
istry as a profession. At the present
time only about five per cent of the ;
college graduates become ministers. j

And Seen Nothing Better.
"Say, did you ever know a woman
to buy what she wanted at the first
store she came to?" "Yes. My wife
frequently does- that is. she returns |
to it after she's been to all the other
stores." ?
For Stains on Mahogany.
Use oxalic acid and water, ruobing
it in with a clean cork until the stain
disappears. Mahogany may be pol
ished with a flannel cloth dipped in
sweet or cold drawn linseed oil.
Praiseworthy Duty.
You may sum the duty of your life
-in the giving of praise worthily, and
being yourselves worthy of it.-Rus
kin.
Gets Well Paid for lt.
If a millionaire manufacturer works
harder thar, his employes, it is only
in accord with the eternal fitness of
things. He gets more pay.
But Never to Our Shekels.
"What is your definition of 'filthy
lucre?' " "That's a derogatory term ap
plied to other people's money."-Bal
timore Sun.
Self Deception.
Most people fancy themselves inno- ?
cent of those crimes of which they can- :
not be convicted.-Seneca.
Happiness Only Comparative.
We may anticipate bliss, but who
ever drank of that enchanted cup unal
loyed?-Colton.
Millions of Wood Screws Used.
lt has been estimated that 4,708,000,
000 wood screws are used in tht
United States each year.

Wood Restored. *.*
Woodwork which has grown dull
with time and the accumulation o?
dust may be restored by first cleaning
thoroughly with kerosene on a flan
nel cloth, says the Washington Her
ald. It should then be polished with
a mixture of two parts of turpentine
to one of linseed oil. Apply this with
a soft cloth and rub with flannel un
til every trace of the liquid seems to
have disappeared. Repeated applica
tions and continued rubbing will give
a rich gloss to wood trim or mahog
any furniture.
Incendiary Rabbit.
A "Walla Walla man is charged with
endeavoring to annihilate a rabbit
colony with the aid of a pint of kero
sene and a lucifer match. A rabbit
was soaked in the liquid and touched
off with a match. Whereupon, with a
beautiful understanding of the fitness
of things, the blazing creature bur
rowed imo the nearest haystack, while
thousands of amused rabbits sat
around and watched the fun. Xo in
surance.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
To Get Rid of Red Ants.
Red ants can make a house almost
uninhabitable. One can get rid of
them, however, if one knows how. The
first thing to do is to find the place
they come from-i. e., where their
nest is. If it be in an accessible: spot,
a little kerosene will quickly stop the
trouble. On the other hand, if the
nest be in the wall or under the floor,
find the nearest accessible point, and
kill the insects off as they appear.
Plan Big Engineering Feat.
In the Chilean Andes there is a lake
10.000 feet up in the mountains, which
is prevented only by a granite wall a
few feet thick from devastating the
valley below. In order to avert the
I disaster engineers are draining the
water by a tunnel and expect to sup
ply electrical current and light to all
the valley cities through the water
i power which will be developed.
World's Darkest Moment.
The darkest moment is said to be
just before dawn. This is now dis
covered not to be so. The darkest
moment, relatively speaking, is when
the noonday sun shines. Then it is
thar, living things on the earth are
blinded by the dazzle of the sun and
fail to recognize the light that never
fails out in space.
Queerest Word in Language.
Pocket-handkerchief is the queerest
word in the language. At first it was
kerchief (couvre-chef), a covering for
thc* head; then it became handkerchief,
a covering for the head carried in the

covering, almost as elastic as india

inches, and it is almost jet black.

Teacher of Botany in Girls' School
-"Now for a little review. What can
you tell me. Miss Smith, of the long
evity of bacteria?" Miss Smith-"I
I don't remember exactly, but 1 think
they are longer than they are wide."
Wise Johnny Smith.
"Mother, you know the way me and
Johnny Smith play I'm Indians an'
he's soldiers?" "Yes, dear; what of
it?" "Well, if I don't let him lick me
every time we play, he 6ays I aren't
patriotic."-Century.
Mot z Humorist.
"He's an extraordinary fellow, you
know; he'd kill his own father in order
to make a good joke." "Then there's
nothing to worry about; his father will
die au old man."-Le Sourire.
Doing Well.
Bix-"How are you making out on
your resolution to economize?" Dix
"Fine! I've got my running expenses
slowed down to a walk."
At Least One.
"Every one has some secret sorrow,"
says a philosophizing friend. "Even
the fattest and jolliest of us has a
skeleton in his midst."
Whale's Thick Hide.
The whale has the thickest hide of
any living creature. Its hide in places
attains a thickness of fully two feet.
Moral Men.
It is in men as in soils where some
times there is a vein of gold which the
owner know? not of.-Swift.
Greatness.
The greatest man is he who chooses
right with the most invincible resolu
tion.-Seneca.
Others Victm.s of Hard Luck.
Most of us get what we deserve, but
only the successful will admit it.

tains attract storms.-Richter.
