"Good Morning" and "Good Evening" rlubs are organizing in cities of the vest, with the purpose of expelling :he chilly indifference which exists between men who meet each other lay after day on the streets, in cars, n ffices. etc., and yet who have never formed the pleasant habit of giving i smiling nod of recognition. We are familiar with the condition of things ivhich stir this latest sense of good fellowship. In every residence neighborhood there are men who always :ake the same street cars down-town n the morning and frequently the >ame cars back at night. These same masculine atoms gather day after da\ md look at each other with deadfish eyes until the situation first becomes' embarrassing and then hateful. Yet many of these atoms only require the presence of another atom ?the "Good Morning" atom?when, aresto! the magic effect of social unbending is seen in a chummy group bf friends, a molecule of neighborli less. All men of similar interests ire pretty much alike. Once the :rust of formality is broken, almost iny group of men may be friendly. Men become reserved, not to say suspicious, by force of habit. It is an infortunate and unjustifiable habit ind often leads to development of :hat unspeakable community nuismce?the neighborhood grouch.'

I One summer day the grocer's delivery horse balked in front of our house, says Mary Leal Harkness. in ^ the Atlantic. Of all obstreperous quadrupeds, he was the very balkiest , horse that I ever saw. The delivery j boy swore and wept, he petted and patted, he lashed and pulled, he exhausted every device known to de- ^ livery boys, and the beast moved not.' y A crowd assembled?the sort of crowd which such an attraction al- ( ways draws, "practical" men and , boys all?and, I'll dare he sworn, not * a user of grammar pure and undefil- ] ed in the whole collection. And they " knew about balky horses, and did all , C they knew as well: but the horse re- ^ mained unmoved. Then the college professor of our family, a Latin professor, as it chanced, and of the vin- s tage which our valued writers on education would probably term "of yesterday," looked out of his library window and contemplated the situa-! j tion. But not for long. He rose without remark, sought his carriage { house, procured a rope, advanced to J the middle of the street, spoke gently to the grocer's boy and his steed, at- j tached the rope at the points where it would do the most good?and the animal proceeded down the street.' There was some surprised and admiring comment from the bystanders, I remember, to which the professor ' made not much response. The only \ explanation which he vouchsafed to his family was. "I learned that trick . when I was a boy on Jim Henderson's farm. He used to keep the meanest horses that ever grew." | It seems that a college education had not made the good professor . "helpless" or disdainful of things material; he was the most practical man there. ( Bulgarian Character. j ' I 1 The Bulgarians are nominally ( classed as Slavs. So they are?part- J ly. Yet the world too often forgets ! thaf the primitive Bulgarians were 1 not Slavs at all. but an Asiatic peo-; ' pie of Turanian stock who in the 1 seventh century burst upon the prim- ' itive Slavs recently migrated south: 1 of the Danube and settled down as^ ' masters, writes T.

Never-1 theless. the blood was a potent one, 1 for these Turanian Bulgars left be- ' hind far more than their name; they ] stamped upon the new folk traits 1 which set it distinctly apart in the ' category of Slav peoples. A mo- ( meat's analysis will clearly prove ( thisN. Your typical Slav, whether he( 1 dwell on the Russian plains or the 1 Serbian hills, is an idealist, prone to ( lose sight of hard facts in day! dreams.

Not long ago the luestion was discussed in one of the nagazines, and we were asked what jave us our sense of loathing for ;he garden toad, while the frog, vhich did nothing but play the daniy braggart, was uniformly treated is a good fellow. "If the toad gulped tnd croaked all night long," we were isked, "and made his home in slimy jools instead of in the melon patch, vould they reverse their present orier in our esteem?" It seems a 'oolish question or at least a ques:ion directed to foolish people. The inly thing a frog is good for is fishng bait, and there is nothing very glorious about that. Those of us vho have gardens have never thought )f putting Mr. Toad, our chief of poice, in the same class with the vagrant frog.

Probably no medium has done nore towards broadening the culture if the world than printers' ink. Printed matter is to be found everywhere, and one of its great values tas been the education of the foreigner come to another land. Yet lespite its universal use, there are ' 'ew who know the different materials jsed or realize the processes required to make ink for printing. A new exhibit in the division of jraphic arts of the United States Naional .Museum, located in the Smithf ionian building at Washington, well llustrates the several different pro'esses and shows the many ingrelients in the making of printers' ink. t starts with the raw products, ilustrates* the manufacture by photographs and diagrams described by abels and shows the finished pro lucts ready for use. Considering >ur great dependence upon this substance for daily news, reading, rec- ' >rds and, in fact, all our literature tnd history, the Smithsonian exhi)it offers an educational opportuniy not to be neglected. Tho manufacture of modern Drint ng ink requires a careful choice of naterials and their very skilful malipulation. The materials fall ino two groups, the pigment or color ind the medium or varnish in which t is ground. The varnish is prepared from linseed oil and rosin, put while linseed oil is the most satsfactory medium, cheaper ones, such is rosin oil, and even mineral oil, ire used. Various gums and waxes are employed to give a greater consistency, rhe drying quality is increased by he addition of metalic substances, vhich tend to make the oil in the ink , ?xidize. This ink does not dry, in , he common sense, by evaporation, , mt passes through a chemical , hange, which leaves a totally differ- , * - -*~U UaUU :nt suostanee. me varuwu umuo < he color pigments together and ( nakes possible their mechanical malipulation on the presses, lending ( uminosity and added richness to the r oiors. In preparing the varnish the oil s first boiled and burned until it irrives at the proper consistency, vhen the rosin is stirred in. The figment is added and the mass tround to an impalpable fineness. )f course, every manufacturer has lis own methods and trade secrets, vhich is only to be expected when t is realized, what great care and irecision rhe printing ink maker has o exercise. Such an ink must have ree distribution, leaving the work lear and sharp, with no oil on the taper. It must not adhere too tenaiously to the types, but leave them lean, and must at the same time * * * $30 FOi: A Lt?ST BUTTON*. j ?? !

He once attended a book dinner, at' which all the guests were expected to appear with an emblem denoting the title of a book. j Lord Saye and Sele went in ordi-i nary evening dress, but carried aj lady's petticoat under his arm.

His lordship won the first prize. dry quickly on the paper, but notion the rollers, besides wh\ch, it must be! proof against the effect of time. In the manufacture of the dom-i mon black ink lampblack and carbon black are the most common pig-:, ments. They are really the same thing, that is, finely divided carbon, but differ in the process of manufacture. Sometimes a little indigo or Prussian blue is also 'employed with the carbon. For wood engrav-* ing carbon and ivory black, or a very fine bone black, known as , Frankfort black, are mixed. In lithographic reproductions Paris black is used. |, The ingredients in colored inks in-' elude some chemically made colors, ' such as vermillion, Prussian or bronze blue,-chrome yellow and ultramarine blue. The "lake" pig-' ments, made by precipitating a coal tar dy^stuff on a metalic base, produce colors of greater brilliance and extreme fineness of texture. Natural earth colors are not used so much ( as formerly, their shades being now matched in the "lake" colors. Red ink is made with carmine or , cochineal, and in cheap inks, red i lead, but it rapidly blackens, and is consequently unsuitable for permanent work. Blue inks are made i from indigo or Prussian blue, yellow I with lead chromate or yellow ochre,1' green and Durple by mixing yellow j ] and blue, and red and blue, respect-j! ively. j The only white ink sufficiently opaque to appear white on a dark surface is made from white lead. Tints and light tones of the various colors are made by mixing the colors with zinc white or another transparent base, -such as magnesia or blanc | fixe. ^ i Ink-making machinery consists of several types of mixing machines, with which the medium and dry color are first roughly mixed together, and mills on which the mass is thoroughly ground. The type of machine used depends upon the character of the ingredients and the result desired. Ink for use on soft abs'orbent paper, such as "news" ink, requires very little grinding and no preliminary mixing, while other varieties are not only run over the mixer, but receive repeated grinding on roller mills. 9 I The numerous processes for which printing inks are made and the varie-, ty of conditions under which they i are employed necessitate individual consideration in determining the essential qualities demanded. The speed of the press, the sort of paper stock to be U6ed. the character of tne rorm or printing piaies, me piu cess employed, and many other tech- I Dical points must all be taken into I consideration by the ink-maker.

This boy is Howard Dalton, of Willard City, Utah, and is the boy champion potato grower of that State. A brief summary of the methods he followed in growing this large yield are given below: The 3eed potatoes used were Idaho Rurals and were treated with the usual formaldehyde solution to prevent scab. The soil was prepared March 20 to 30 by covering with eight tons of wet manure, plowing ten inches deep, harrowing three or four times with a spring tooth harrow and dragging to get a perfect seed bed. Seed was planted April 1*5, four inches deep, in rows 30 inches apart, and seed pieces 12 inches apart. The piece was harrowed with a spike tooth harrow May 5 and 12, and cultivated and hoed May 26. The first watering was given June 25, just as. the vines were blossoming and two other waterings July 5 and July 20. So cultivation was given after the second watering as the vines were so large that they could not be worked . . ,. . I without oerng aisturDea. ine crop ; was harvested October 13, 14 and 15, and yielded 360 bushels of marketable potatoes on the half acre. ?? - .
