MAKING BIG TRAYS.
‘A Method of Making Ones That Are
3 Absolutely Waterproof.
The development of bromide en-
‘ largements and the use of large sized
i plates render necessary dishes of a
i size which are very expensive to pur-
' chase and often very unmanageable
on account of their excessive weight,
especially if they are of glass or por-
celain. In consequences of the ex-
pense home-made trays are often em-
plcyed, but these are very likely to
leak and then become very bother-
some. Perhaps the most general ex-
pedient is the lining of a wooden tray
with oilcloth or sheet rubber, but such
a tray usually has wrinkles and folds
on the bottom, and hence is not par-
ticularly economical of solutions, be-
sides being very likely te leak. Sheet
lead may be employed as a lining,
but the trays then become very heavy,
A process frequently advocated is the
painting of the inside of a wooden
tray with asphaltum to make it water-
tight. In order to make this effec-
tive, several thin coats must be given,
with thorough drying between, and it
. will then be found that he asphaltum
will not resist the prolonged action
of photographic chemicals. The pro-
cess which we found to be most effec-
tual is to paint the tray with a coat
of glue to which has been added 5 or
6 per cent of bichromate of potasium.
By exposing to sunlight for two or
three hours, the coating becomes ab-
solutely waterproof. We usually give
three or four coats of glue, with thor-
ough sunning-after each, and find that
the resulting tray leaves little to be
desired for lightness and durability.
Charging Women Less Than Men.
At the old-fashioned inns and res-
taurants in Sweden it is customary
to charge less for women than for
men on the theory that they do not
eat so much. At some hotels in Sweden
a man and a wife are charged as one
and one-half persons if they occupy
the same room. A husband and wife
may travel as one and one-half per-
sons by railway, and also by the
post routes, furnishing their own car-
riage.

A Miniature Oak Tree.
If an acorn be suspended by a piece
of thread within half an inch of the
surface of some water contained in a
hyacinth glass, and so permitted to
remain without being disturbed, it will,
in a few months, burst and throw a
root down into the water, and shoot
upwards its straight and tapering
stem, with beautiful little green leaves.
A young oak tree growing in this
way is a very interesting object. A
chestnut may be treated in the same
manner. The water must be changed
sufficiently often to afford these trees
the necessary quantity of nourishment
from the matter contained in it.—
Washington Star.
The Electric Dancers.
With the help of electricity in its
simplest form a great many tricks and
entertaining feats can be performed,
such as the following: Get a plain
sheet of glass about twelve inches long
by eight inches wide, and insert it
between two volumes, as shown in il-
lustration. The distance of the glass
from the table should be about three
Inches. With the help of scissors cut
a number of small figures, such as
men, women, clowns, animals, etec., not
higher than one and one-half inches,
out of different colored paper. Lay the
little figures flat on a line on the table
underneath the glass. Make a sort of
ball of woolen, or, better yet, silk
cloth, warm it a little and rub the sur-
half way down, so that it seems to
be floating in the air, until he gives it
permission to continue its journey.
There are different ways of doing this
trick, but they all depend upon the
same principle.
A curved packing needle is used in
conducting the cord through the apple,
making a curved channel. By holding
the cord loosely the apple can slide
down in consequence of its weight, but
as soon as the cord is stretched (this
being hardly perceptible) the apple is
brought to a standstill. When the cord
is relaxed the apple will continue its
sliding motion.

knows, care must be used in winding

the string, as well as in throwing the
top, the tensio» of the cord having con-
siderable to do with the speed of revo-
lution. Now a Western inventor comes
forward with a top which, while it
makes use of the string, does not have
it wound on the top, as is necessary
with the old kind. The illustration
gives an idea of the device, which is

face of the glass with it. You will
notice immédiately how the electric-
Ity obtained by this process enlivens
the little paper figures, how they stand
op and jump to the glass ceiling of
their little ballroom, to be repulsed
and fall back, only to renew their
dance. If you stop rubbing, the funny
actions of the figures are continued for
a while; when the dance is ended the
touch of the hand on the glass is suf-
ficient to enliven the figures again.—

Bown the cord and suddenly stops it
The performer shows an apple strung |
used in connection with the cord to
give the top its rotary motion, and also
shows the manner of applying the
string and spinning wire. The latter
is formed with a loop at one end in
which one finger of the left hand is in-
serted, while the opposite end of the
wire has a curved hook which sur-
rounds the spindle on the top. At the
point of the long loop is a guide
through which the string feeds to the
top. To put the top in motion the
cord is given a single turn around the
spindle, the free, long end is inserted
in the guide, and the hook of the spin-
| ning wire is placed over the spindle un-
{ derneath the cord.

Learn How to Breathe.
It is possible to exercise one’s whole
body, to keep it strong and well, sim-
ply by breathing properly. Children
should be taught to breathe and to get
into the habit of filling the whole lung
space at each inhalation and of emprty-
ing it completely at each exhalation.
There is no better way of getting to
sleep soon after going to bed than by
breathing properly. Push away the pil-
low and lie flat upon the back with the
muscles relaxed. Slowly draw in the
deepest breath possible, hold it for four
seconds, then slowly expel it until the
chest and abdomen have collapsed. Re-
peat this until you are tired or fall
asleep. There are scores of ways of
varying this exercise. But this is the
essential. Of course it is assumed that
one sleeps with his bed room windows
open.—FPhiladelphia Times.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Favorable Symptoms Predominate in
Trade Despite Numerous Adverse
Factors—Coke in Demand.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says: Favorable symptoms
still predominate, and the business
outlook is encouraging, despite the
adverse factors of labor controver-
sies, of fuel shortage and tight money.
That these drawbacks have not seri-
ously checked industrial progress tes-
tifies to the strong position attained
during recent months of uninterrupted
activity and growing confidence.
Manufacturing plants dependent upon
steam for motive power are finding
profits curtailed by the high prices of
fuel, and unless normal conditions are
soon restored it will be necessary to
secure better quotations for products.
The problem of adequate transporta-
tion is also disturbing, as there is al-
ready congestion in the coke region.
When anthracite coal mining is fully
resumed and grain shipments attain
expected dimensions, the . railroads
will find great difficulty in meeting all
requirements, despite vigorous efforts
to increase facilities. Railway earn-
ings in September were 9.4 per cent
larger than last year, and 20.2 per
cent in excess of 1900. Dun’s index
number of commodity prices pro-
portioned to consumption was $100,-
648 on October 1, an advance of 4.1
per cent, compared with the position
of September 1. It is certain that
all records of pig iron production
would be far surpassed if ke could
he obtained, even at the exceptionally
high prices now prevailing. - Hence,
reports of active furnaces measure
the available supply of coke rather
tnan the demand for pig iron. Last
week’s reduction in prices of sheets
and wire have not been followed by
any weakness in other branches of
the trade, while an improved demand
is reported in the lines making .con-
cessions. Shipments of footwear
from eastern shops continue on a
large scale. The amount of business
already placed assures activity at the
factories for some time. Cotton mills
in New England are preparing to shut
down on account of the fuel shortage,
and the market for goods is strong
because supplies are already limited.
Failures for the week numbered 245
in the United States, against 231 last
year, and 21 in Canada, compared
with 34 a year ago.
Bradstreet s says: Wheat, includ-
ing flour, exports for the week ending
October 9, aggregate 5,645,779 bush-
els, against 6,870,578 bushels last
week; 4,719,898 bushels in this week
last year, and 4,292,855 bushels in
1900. Wheat exports since July 1
aggregate 73,130,492 bushels, against
89,567,844 bushels last season, and
51,505,522 bushels in 1900. Corn ex-
ports aggregate 180,358 bushels,
against 141,423 bushels last week,
678,246 bushels last year, and 2,896,
037 bushels in 1900.

Miss Kate Brown, Recording Secre-
tary of the L. C. B. Association, of
Kansas, in a letter from 605 N. Seventh
St., Kansas City, Xan., says:
‘“For seven years I have not known
what it was to spend a well day.
I caught a severe cold, which I neg-
lected. It was at the time of menstru-
ation, and inflammation set in and
prostrated me. Catarrh of the kidneys
and bladder followed, my digestive or-
gans gave way; in fact, the cold disar-
ranged my whole system.
“I spent hundreds of dollars with
doctors and medicine, but derived
but little benefit until I began treat-
ment with Peruna. I kept taking it for
nearly nine months before I was com-
pletely cured, but I kept growing bet-
ter gradually so that I felt encouraged
to continue taking Peruna until my
health was restored. I send my thanks

With 'Catarrhal Derangements of the

A ———— 9
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
It is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body
but what is liable to become seriously
deranged by a neglected cold. Dis-
eases of the kidneys, bladder and diges-
tive organs are all frequently the result
of a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on
doctors and medicines trying to cure
these diseases, but until the true cause
of them is discovered there will be no
use in using medicine,
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of
the internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Pe-
runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you ‘his
valuable advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O.
and blessings to you for Peruna.’—
Miss Kate Brown.
The Lost City.
The site of the lost Indian city,
Mascoutens, which was reported as
having 20,000 inhabitants in 1675, has
been determined by the labors of
Thomas Clithero, of Portage, Wis.
now extended over many years. It
was the largest city in all Indian his-
tory, so far as United States territory
is concerned, and the descriptions of
the Jesuits in the course of the seven-
teenth century, closing with Marquette
and Joliet in 1673, are said to have
been verified.
How to Keep Young.
One of the secrets of keeping young,
vigorous and supple-jointed, is to con-
tinue to practice the activities of
youth, and to refuse to allow the mind
to stiffen the muscles by its sugges-
tion of age limitations. If men like
Peter Cooper and William E. Glad-
stone, who kept up the vitalizing ex-
ercises of robust manhood when far
into the eighties, had succumbed at
40 to tHe thought of approaching age,
how much of their valuable life-work
would have remained undone?
