Hollow Brick# In England.
Anew brick that has recently been
Introduced in Kngland is nearly five
times as large as an ordinary brick, I
tut in comparison is much less heavy
md is easily handled, ' The lighter
weight results from the hollowing out
of the brick to provide air layers. By
the shaping of the ends the exlstenc?
of joints running all the jvay through
the wall Is ta voided. The brick 1s, as
* rule, made of one part of cement
?nd four parts sand by simple hand
machinery. Three men can make
enough bricks in a day to build 400
to 500 square feet of wall. A further
woBoiuy is effected by- the manner of
kjinc the walls, inasmuch as the ends
Md bottoms of the br^pks need -only
1* dipped in h thin- lime mortar mixed
*itb a small amount of cement. If
laid in the usual way the air channels
to 'he bricks would become filled.?

She was not afraid to be Uapp.v.
A puur follow whose life 4*ad been
oiio long tight against grinding pov
erty wan unexpectedly left a legaey,
which quite removed him from farther
want. The touch of, the past, how?
ever, was still upon him. lie was?
afraid to spend, afraid to raise his
face to the sunshine; he was afraid
to he happy. The pathos of it 1
On the other hand, there are those
who. with little or nothing to worry
about, Just grille and grouse, till you
long to shake litem ? and shake them
thoroughly? heeauwe tjiey ere afraid
even to be thought happy.
Here la a sample of a visit to one
of the "G, G." variety:
?What a nice bit of sunshine we're
having just now!" you may perhaps
remark.
"Ay, but how long will it last?"
"Well, it's shining now, anyway!"
you retort, in natural exasperation at
his pessimism.
"But it'll rain before night, see I?
it doesn't !" And so on ad lib., no
matter what subject was broached.
Of course, tor lots of us some things
are pretty bad just now ? it's inevit
able. if one takes time to think. Rut
aiming it all, there are bits^of happi
ness If we will only allow ourselves
to see them. The sunshine when it
does appear, the merry laugh of a
friend, a bit of luck after a hard day, j
the restoration to health , of a dear
one, the eager questionings of the
children arising out of their beautiful
"wonderings," a talk with, or a letter
from a kindred spirit.
Cheerio! Don't you be afraid to be
?happy!
Peculiar Geological Formation.
There Is located immediately west
of Junction City a few miles soutji of
Danville, Ky., a wonderful geological
formation known as ' "BalU Blue
Knob." This Is a member of the
chain that branches off from the
Cumberland mountains and extends
along th$> route of the Knoxville divi
sion of - the Louisville & Nashville
railway.
From Its foot to It's crest about
2Q0 feet and except on the largq flat
top, with a small knob in its ;oenter,
it is covered with shrubbery and vege
tation. The top, however, Is abso
lutely barren. Not- a sprig of any
kind has ever grown upon
The son Ts as blue as Indigo and
this coloring has never been affected
by the ravages time. It Is be
lieved by many that this knob was
at one time a volcano, atfd that the
surface" of the crest was belched forth
from the bowels of the eartli.
The "Bald Blue Knob" has been art
object of wonder for many genera
tions, and hundreds of visitors ascend
Its steep sides each year to view its
crown of richest azure,
Milk and Meat Prevent Pellagra.
The most recent researches in'o pel
lagra, Just published In the form of a
report from the United States public
health service, make It cle?r that de
ficiency of milk and fresh meat In the
diet Is the principal cause of the dl?
ease.
Dr. Joseph Goldberger, ?o whom the
w6rld owes most of Its knowledge of
pellagra, urges that more cows be In
troduced into those regions of our
southern states in which pellagra Is
most prevalent, and that all-the-year
round fresh meat markets be estab
lished.
In an Awful State.
After refreshments at a card party
the topic of conversation was the con
dition we found o\\r flat in when we
moved. My husband told a long com
ical story of how he spent his whole
Saturday afternoon trying. to get the
kitchen floor clean. Every one laughed
with the exception of one woman, who
said : "We Just moved from that flat." 1
It is needless to say the color of my
husband's face turned. ? Exchange. ?
Eggs Miraculously Saved.
A young man at Meredith, N. H.,
making an evening call, in going
through the hall opened the cellar door
by mistake and stepped Into space,
bringing down u number of Jars of
preserved blue-berries and landing In
a Jar containing 18 do/en eggs. He
I emerged scratched and covered with
blueberries, but although he weigh?
200 pounds not an egg was broken.

Don't
1. Don't depend wholly on whtft
your friends tell you.
They mean well, but?
/
St. Don't let the salesman per
suade you with talk.
Every phonograph can
"talk" for itself.
3. Don't listen to one phono
graph here, another pho
nograph there. You can't
compaH accurately that
way.
4. Don't go on "impressions".
Your phonograph is too
important for that.
1. Hear nil the leading makes.
2. But hear them all in the
same room.
8. And hear them all from the
same* position in the same
? room.
4. Also have each play the Maine
selections.
5. In other words, make hn ab
solutely scientific compari
son, and decide the best
phonograph for yourself. ^
6. Wfiat? You don't know any
