TEACHES W0KK IN METALS.
School In a Saxon Town Gives Finest
Technical Education.
An exhibition of the work done by
the pupils of th Metal Workers'
school in Rosswein has recently been
held at Freiberg which showed the
thoroughness of the Instruction at this
splendid technical institution. The
pupils are chiefly from Prussia and
Saxony and one of the conditions of
admission that is noteworthy is that
the applicant shall have had three
years of practical experience.
Many of the German states are aid
ing the school library and granting
free scholarship to deserving young
men. The institution ia provided with
one of the finest technical libraries
in Europe and has a large supply of
the most complex apparatus. .
Extensions are frequently made to
the large factories and mines In the
neighborhood. The course at the
school lasts from 18 months to two
years and embraces four departments
architecture, machine building,
electro-technics and the fine arts. A
great deal of attention is given to
create and in order to simulate the
inventive faculties the German patent
office supplies the institution free of
Charge with copies of patents pertain
ing to mechanical, metal and elec
trical apparatus. In addition to spe
cial branches In metal work, etc., at
tention is given to mathematical
physics, higher mathematics, chem
istry and languages.
The tuition fee for the half year
is 100 marks ($25) for citizens of the
German empire and 200 marks for
foreigners. Rosswein Is situated on
the mall railway between Lelpsic and
Dresden.
Shiver Nature's Remedy.
At the football game the young
girl, despite her sable stole, shivered.
"That shiver," said her companion,
a physician, "is nature's method of
warning you. It is nature's preven
tive remedy for a cold.
"You see the shiver Is an involun
tary rhythmical contraction of the
muscles, and there is nothing like a
contraction of the muscles for raising
the temperature of the body.
"Thus when you shiver nature la
putting you through a little course of
exercise to warm you up, bo that you
won't take a cold or a dose of rheu
matism or an attack of pneumonia.
When nature shakes you up in this
kindly way it is your duty to help her
out by moving briskly about for a
while, thus making absolutely sure
your immunity from Illness."
' Living en Air. J
A very distinct advantage about
motoring is that it does not give one
an 1 appetite. Most open-air exercise
sends one home as hungry as a hunt
er; and if one eats largely in these
days of strict regime and unrestrict
ed diet, all sorts of terrible things are
sure to happen at least are prom
ised by the doctor. It Is pointed out
In a contemporary that while all the
good effects of working up an appe
tite are produced by a long drive in
a motor, yet the amount of food re
quired to satisfy what seems to be j
one s huge hunger is actually very
small. The air Itself feeds one, and
air neither upsets one's digestive ap
paratus nor does- It supply one with
adipose tissue. ,

"Being the author of one of the

contributions of one's books to char

WHEN P.AL WORK 1ft DONE.
Period f Absolute Rest Lead t
Ideas That Win Success.
Growth Is predominantly a function
of rest Work la chiefly an energy
extending and tearing-down process,
says a writer hi the World's Work.
Rest following work Is chiefly a building-up
and growing process. Work
may furnish the - conditions under
which subsequent growth may occur,
but in itself it is destructive, By
work we do things in the world, but
we do not grow by work. We grow
during rest. Rest Is not the only con
dition of growth, but It Is one of the
essential conditions.
The Seat work that most of us do Is
Dot begun In our offices or at our
desks, but when we are wandering In
the woods or sitting quietly with un
directed thoughts. From somewhere
at such times there flash Into our
minds those Ideas that direct and con
trol our lives, visions of how to do
that which previously had seemed
impossible, new aspirations, hopes
and desires. Work is the process of
realization. The careful balance and
the great ideas come largely during
quiet, and without being sought. The
man who never takes time to do aoth
ing will hardly do great things. He
will hardly have epoch-making Ideas
or stimulating Ideas.
Philippine Bats.
Among the curious inhabitants of
the Philippines, according to Prof,
Clinton, of Washington, are fruit
eating bats, some of which are nearly
as large as cats, with wings three
feet In extent
During the day these curious crea
tures remain hanging from the
branches of trees in roosting places,
where they congregate by the ;, hun
dreds. They avoid the thtick forests,
and sometimes roost in a lone tree on
the plains.
At twilight they become animated
and attack the fruit orchards and
cocoanut groves. They are fond of
the Juice from which the natives
make tuba, or palm beer, and drink
it from the bamboo cups In which It
has been collected. Sometimes the
juice has begun to ferment, and then
the bats are intoxicated by It, and
fall helpless upon the ground, to be
killed by their enemies in the morn
ing. '. '
A Boy's Impression.
Edmund Gosse once dined with Sir
Leslie Stephen, and thus described
the impression made upon his youth
ful mind by the essayist: "I shall
always remember thfr surprise Leslie
Stephen's appearance gave me; the
long, thin, bright-red beard, radiating
in a fan shape; the wrinkled fore
head; the curious fatness of the top
of the head, accentuated by the full
ness of the auburn hair on either
side; the. long cold hands; the dis
traught and melancholy eyes. The
dinner was extremely quiet Scarce
ly a word fell from either of the
Stephens, and we two guests, al
though chatterboxes engrained, were
subdued to silence by Bhynesss.
Bear Raids a Camri.
A bear of unusual size terrorized
a camp of 200 laborers employed by
the American Pipe Line company on
a reservoir for the Pennsylvania rail
road, four miles west of Duncans ville.
Pa. s----:
For an hour the animal wandered
about the camp, and, while the men
were armed, they were afraid to leave
their shanties to meet him in open
combat
Dogs aroused the sleepers, and Cul-
len Webster, a clerk, awoke to find
the hear looking in at his window.

Zine Fumes te Remove Soot
An artist has discovered that A
piece of zinc laid upon the red hot
coals of his furnace or kitchen range
will remove' every particle of soot
from the chimney. -,
'I don't pay .a chimney sweep to
fool with my stovepipes," he ; said.
"When the soot accumulates in them
I take home an old zinc plate and lay-
it upon the glowing coals. It melts
and generates some sort of gas that
simply, eats up all the soot in the
chimney. It's a great discovery."
Willing to Help Along.
The cranky old bachelor was irrit
able. Calling the landlady, he said:
"Mrs. Hashley, who is it that keeps
singing. I Would Not Live Alway?'"
"That is the lady in the room
across the hall, sir," answered tie
landlady. ,

NOT MERE BRICKS AND MORTAR
Streets Made Up of Human Beings
and Light and Air.
Streets are commonly supposed to
be made of bricks and mortar, but
as a matter of fact these materials
only go to supply the background.
Streets are really made of human be
ings, and light and air especially
human beings. I remember prowling
once at midnight In a Moorish town,
and getting well lost for my pains.
The deserted streets, which 'seemed
to hate following a straight line for
more than a couple of hundred feet
were picturesque enough with the
moonlight breaking their darkness
here and there; but they were really
expressionless until, turning the cor
ner, I nearly stumbled agalnBt a
stalwart Moor who stood leaning mo
tionless upon his musket There was
something about his dress and atti
tude that seemed almost too good to
be true; for a moment he wore the
air of a theatrical episode, as though
j ne had been deliberately "stagged'
there to give my western eyes a new
sensation. But how the pure human
nature of him transformed the dreary
street! To a lost traveler he changed
the whole face of things in an Instant
A picture of that street without him
would have been nothing more than
a conventional picture of light and
Bhada. My turbaned sentinel filled it
with vitality and Interest The point
needs no emphasis, yet It is interest
ing to consider how one is perpetually
coming back to it, dlsregardful of that
background of which we are all in
clined, and not unreasonably inclined,
to make so much.
1 suppose no one was ever more dis
posed than was Balzac to get all that
could be got out of the background.
His novels are rich with passages-
some of them so Jong that they fill
a good part of the chapter in which
the characters of streets are estab
lished Vith a profound feeling for the
Individuality of Inanimate thing
Scribner's.
V Preserved Grapes.
Grapes are too seedy, as well as rich
in juices, to be preserved, excepting
in the form of jam, either plain or
spiced. To prepare the grapes for
these forms of preserving, pick from
the stems, wash and press the pulp
out of the skins. Put skins in one
preserving kettle and the pulp In an
other together with any juice that has
run from the grapes. Let them cook
15 or 20 minutes, stirring often; strain
the pulp through a puree sieve to re
move the seeds. Add the cooked skins
to., the strained pulp, then ' measure.
To every vlnt of the fruit allow a
pound of sugar. Cook until quite
thick, stirring often. Turn into small
jars, or glasses, and seal.
Laundry Bag la Handy.
Bachelor girls who run about much
will have to thank a fastidious bach
elor for Inventing a traveling laundry
bag which spares them the disagree
able necessity of packing soiled linen
In their trunks. The new device is a
bag of brown canvas, somewhat like
a mall bag. It fastens with a patent
brass lock and has initials painted on
It in trunk style. It goes empty, but it
'returns from the week-end or other
visit with the linen which is ready to
go to ,the foundress. ',

FOR THE HOME; MAKER,
flight Way to Live Comfortably
Limited Income.
en
The increased cost of living all over
this country, especially in the largo
cities, has not been accompanied by a
similar rise in the income for most
wage earners, and the already busy
housemother finds additional responsi
bility in contriving to make ends
meet. ' .
How to live comfortably, lay by a
little against the day of need, and at
the same time live honestly in the
sight of all men to one's own - con.
science, Is a problem that it takes
brains to solve. In the majority of
homes praise be! the husband Is
still, by the laws of nature, therefore
divine appointment, wage earner; but
upon the woman rests the equal or
greater responsibility of making the
best possible use of the funds handed
over to her for disbursement With
the same amount of money to draw
upon, one woman who is a good man
ager may evolve a comfortable, homev
home for her family, while another,
without taking proper thought for her
part of the housekeeping proposition.
has everything running at "sixes and
sevens."
In managing well on a limited in
come there are i several "don'ts"
worth memorizing:
Don't go In debt; never spend a dol
lar until you have it in hand.
Don't waste; it Is the little leaks
that count more than the big outlays.
Don't pattern your living after some
one whose income is twice yours.
They don't pay your bills.
Don't be afraid of "what the neigh
bors will say." Be sure you are right,
then go ahead.
Don't lose sight of the true propor
tion of things. Good food values there
must be; ditto warm clothing, com
fortable bedding, tools to work with;
but never mind the silks and satins
that oft "put out the kitchen fire" nor
Indulge "in ruffles when wanting a
skirt" . .. ' -
Don't think it you are a young
housekeeper that you must begin
where your mother left off.
Don't shirk. "When industry goes
out of the door, poverty comes In at
the window." .
Money to Burn.
The big touring car bad just
whizzed by with a roar like a gigan
tic rocket and Pat and Mike turned
to watch it disappear in a cloud of
dust. '; . '; .'
"Thim chug wagons must cost a

"An the smell av it" suited Pat
"it must be thot tainted money we do
