Feat in Bricklaying.
In the erection of the House of
Representatives office building, ad-
Jacent to the United States Capitol
at Washington, an interesting fact
has developed in connection with the
brick masonry work. The first brick
was laid at the site on the afternoon
of July 5, 1905, and on July 3, 1906,
there had been laid in the walls 11-
000,000 brick. This is believed to be
the greatest number of brick laid on
any one building in one year in the
United States, and probably in the
world. One of the causes conducing
to this record-breaking feat was the
remarkably ‘“‘open’”’ winter of 1905-06.
In those winter months the work
continued almost without interruption
from either snow or cold, and not
more than 12 or 15 days were lost
during the entire winter by reason of
weather conditions.—Scientific Ames

I'S LONE AND IN DISTRESS,
By Paul Laurence Dunbar.
De rain done hid de mountain's fo'm,
De trees is bendin’ in de sto'm,

But listen, dah's a voice I hyeah,
A-sayin' to me, loud and cleah,
“Lay low in de wildaness."”

De lightnin' flash, de bough sway low,
My po’ sick hea't is trimblin’ so,
It hu'ts my very breas’.
But Him dat give de lightnig’ powah
Jes’ bids me in de tryin’ howah
“Lay low in de wildaness.”
O brothah, w'en de tempes' beat,
An’ w'en yo' weary head an’ feet
Can't fin’ no place to res’,

A_a’ putty soon you'll hyeah de cry,

Gentlemen Jurors.
For the last three years licensed
victuallers have been omitted from
the list of special jurors for the West
Riding Petty Sessional Division at
Bradford, in spite of their possession
of the necessary rating qualification.
The omission was made by the over-
seers in consequence of some one
having raised the objection that such
persons were not gentlemen. Last
week, however, the Bench expressed
the opinion that it was not in their
province or the province of the over-

Care of Matting.
Mattings never should be subjected
to an oversupply of water, Care
should be exercised towards keeping
it unstained, When it becomes
soiled, however, use a soft cloth well
wrung out in a suds made of borax
goap and water, and air thoroughly
by leaving a window open until the
spot is dried. Dampness must be re-
moved from matting as speedily as
possible. Use a pliable, not too stiff,
broom for matting. Always sweep
well first any flooring or floor cover-
ing which may be spotted or soiled
and needs a damp application.
Safe Red Celoring Matter.
To a correspondent asking for a
safe red coloring matter for cakes
and sweetmeats, The Druggists’ Cir-
cular (September) recommends the
color from red beets as easily ob-
tained and economical. Says this
paper: “It is said that a good way to
obtain this coloring in permanent
form is to heat the beets in an oven
until quite soft; macerate with
about an equal quantity of vinegar;
express; evaporate the resulting
liquid to one-half its original vol-
ume and then make up to the orig-
inal value with alcohol. I'or extem-
poraneous use the liquor from
‘pickled beets’ as ordinarily prepared
for the table (that is, boiled in water,
sliced, and then covered with vin-
egar) would prosumably give a deep
enough shade. Canned beets are in
market and will answer as well in
the latter case as the fresh article.”
Care of Flatirons.
Many people have been annoyed at
finding their irons quite rusty after
they have been put away a few days.
The way to prevent this happening is,
before you put them away, to rub a
little warm grease over them and
then wrap them up in brown paper.
When you take them out to use dip
them into hot water that has had a
small piece of! soda dissolved in it,
rub dry, and then put them to heat
in the usual way. When they are
ready to be used on the ironing board
have a piece of brown paper with a
little powdered bath brick on it and
rub the surface of your iron with
this. It seems rather a lengthy pro-
cess, but it really does not take long
to do, and housewives will be re-
warded for the trouble they have
taken by finding the irons delight-
fully smooth and easy to use, and
when they are like this the ironing
can be done twice as quickly.—Mas-
sachusetts Ploughman.
Home-made Lamp Shades.
These lamp shades are easily man-
ufactured, and add a pretty effect to
the room, as well as shade the light
to the eyes.
Cut a piece of stiff paper in a ecir-
cular form and of the depth desired,
and glue the two ends together (a
piece should be cut out of the circle
to make the shade ‘‘funnel-form’),
thus making a foundation. Cover
this neatly, inside and out, with
crinkled tissue paper of any desired
shade. Then cut imch-wide strips
and make the shade by looping and
fastening these upon the founda-
tion. The loops are graduated in
length, with the exception of the
small ones at the top, which are
formed to resembie a ruching. A row
of narrow crystal fringe sewed
around the bottom of the foundation
makes a pretty finish, and a few
sprays of artificial maiden-hair fern
disposed among the loops adds a fin-
ishing touch. The shade, if for a
lamp, must be placed over an as-
bestos foundation; if for a candle,
mica should be used. Paper founda-
tion is only for use when the object
is ornamentation only.—The Com-
moner.

paving states that, in spite of its

regard it as the best general-purpose

largest amount of wood pavement are
Indianapolis, Toledo and Boston.
These five cities together have more
creosoted wood pavement than all
other cities in the country combined.
The total amount of this pavement. in

about 1,400,000 square yards. The

It is pot everyone who has lived

who can boast of cutting teeth at that
age, but such is the unique experience
of Mrs. Mary C. Parsons of Portland,

Although 77 years of age, Mrs.
Parsons is healthy and vigorous. She
however, was obliged to have some
of her teeth removed, and has been
wearing plates for some years. Re-
cently, a full size double tooth began
to make its appearance. A day or
two later a pew front tooth was dis-
covered, and the dentist is inclined
to tke belief that Mrs. Parsons is
growing a full new set of teeth.
