The man who wears a rubber on the pedal attachment to his cork leg because the cork foot a> hes without the rubber is as unfortunate a victim as the S-otcLman who fainted on account of the beat in church the first Sumlay after stoves were set up. although a the bad not t-een lighted in any of them. Dut.-h Care Far l.asy People. The Hollanders are not fond of lazy people and they hare a very good way of curing persons who can but won't work. If a f-.-.uper who is able to work refuses to do so they put him in a cistern. to wbi.-h a pump is attached, and turn on - m ->f water.

"Who is the richest man in the world." asks au exchange ami begins mea-uring millions against m.hious. All wrong. The richest man in the world is the one that gets the greatest amount of happiness out of what be has. whatever it is.

Soot is composed of pure carbon and is formed by the Lot vapor of the hydrocarbon coming from burning fuel striking the old walls of the chimney or stovepipe and condensing tlereon. It is a very light, yorous and impalpable powder and. like charcoal, which is the same element in a different form, possesses the property of absorbing and retaining a wonderful amount of gas. Ibe great danger of disease about sewers, drains and other pla-es is almost entirely due to gas given off by decomposing matter. If soot be sprinkled about these places it will absorb the foul gas.—London Mail.
