HOW TO MAKE A 6CRAPBOOK.
llethlBg Will Da raleaa It Be Oed Fet aa)
Leaat a Tear.
For a book in which to paste the cut
ting tiluioet any bound volume will do,
sepeeially if its pages show a wide mar
gin and the print can be readily covered
by two widths of ordinary newspaper
clippings. The margin may be need for
notes, including dates and s few ex
planatory memoranda. a The clippings
should be kept for a week or so before
they are pasted down, because a second
judgment may rule them out. It is quite
safe to advise collectors that no cutting
will do unless it bids fair to be fresh and
intelligible a year after it has been hon
ored with a place in the scrapbook. If
the pages become too thick for the cover.
cut out two or three leaves after each
page filled with the clippings.
When there is the sngnteei possiDimy
that a scrapbook may be used for pub
lishing purposes, or that any of its en
tries may be cut out for other uses, cover
one page only. But on the page used the
clippings should be pasted closely to
gether. If possible, each clipping should
retain the "rule' which marks the end
of a printed paragraph or poem. The
column lines need not be retained, in
fact it is best to cut newspapers always
along these lines. Bagged edges of
course should be avoided, and the muci
lage with which the clippings are pasted
down should be used sparingly, lest it
ooze through the paper or exude from
under the edges. Flour paste is better
than mucilage, and what is known as
photographer's paste is excellent
Hew Aeeeunt ror the Story ef "Jack

In use in former days. "Jack" wss a

Hew Trees Affect the Climate of a Couatry.
A wooded country is almost invaria
bly wet An average amount of trees or
vegetation brings an average supply of
rain, and by the same rule is the sun's
heat distributed. As sandy surraces are
bad conductors, the climate by day is
rery hot, and as the cooling effect of the
earth's radiation is greatest over sand
the beat passes off at night, and it is
comparatively cold. Aa vegetable growth
receives the rays of the sun and none of
them falls on the soil, the temperature of
the soil does not rise so high as that of
land with no vegetable covering. Hence
this marked difference. The heat of the
day is more equally distributed over the
24 hours where there is vegetation, and
it is less intense by day and not so cool
by night.

What He Said.
Ia an English court a man was en trial
who could speak nothing but Irish, and an
Interpreter was called and duly sworn. The;
prisoner at once asked him some question,
and he replied. The judge interposed
Sharply.
"What does the prisoner say?" demanded
the Judge.
"Nothing, my lord," answered the inter
preter. "How dare yea say that when we all
heard him? What was it?"
"My lord." said the interpreter, begin
ning to tremble, "it had nothing to do with
the case." (
"If yon don't answer, I'll commit you. '
What did he say r"
"Well, my lord, you'll excuse me, but he
said, 'Who's thatould woman with the red
bed curtain round her sitting ap there?' " 1
The court roared. I
"And what did you say ?" asked the judge,
looking a little uncomfortable.
"I said: 'Whist, ye spalpeen That's the
(raid boy that's going to bang ye.'"

"Now look at that letter," said yeang
Summers as hs threw a scented square en

you think to find that in your letterbox
when you came into the clubf"
"Why," said the visitor, pioking It up
and noticing the delicate handwriting, "1
should think that some fair young woman
was going to invite me te drink tea with
her tomorrow afternoon."
"Do Ton know, that's just what I thought
when I saw It, and that's why I am disgust- i
ed. The other night at the horse show I
was introduced to an awfully pretty girl
who lives up the avenue. The oext night I
met her again at the Van Hartman's, and
ws bad quite a ehat She promised to send
me her card. I thought this was it It's a
shame." I
"Oh, but shs may send it yet I wouldn't
despair so soon."
"It isn't that It's the idea of getting
such a letter as that instead of the one I ex
pected. Don't you see what it is?"
"Do you want me to read itf"
"You may if you care for such things.
There ia nothing private about things that
gain your confidence under false pretenses
of perfumed and sealed envelopes and femi
nine hands. It's getting outrageous that
one should at every turn have bis heart set
beating with visions of pretty notes, only to
find printed slips telling you of the virtues
of the latest clothes cleaning establishment
and the low criced menu ot the new res
taurant on the corner. That note informs
me that I can have my trousers pressed
regularly once a week for 26 cents, and the
wagon will call to get them. Isn't that a
romantic message to crave respectful atten
tion in polite and insinuating guisef"
New York Tribuna
Getting Even.
A prominent Englishman, Lord D., a
proverbial hater ot America and Ameri
cans, was dining lately in Paris with the
British minister, and next to him at the ta
ble was a noted Newport belle, Miss X.
1 The conversation had drifted to a discus
sion of things American. It is needless to
say that Lord D. made soma pretty disa
greeable remarks about some Americans
he had met and some Yankee customs he
abhorred.
"Why, d'ye know," be continued, with
an almost unpardonable want of tact,
"that at some of the places I dined in
America I saw people eat with their knives
and spill their soup on the tablecloth."
Miss X. was thoroughly provoked by this
time, but she replied with an apparent un
concern: "What poor letters of introduction you
must have had, my lord I"
There was no more unpleasant talk about
America that evening. Harper's Bazar.

"I don't mind your refusing me oold vict

travel stained pilgrim at the kitchen door,
buttoning his faded remnant of a coat un
der his chin, "but when you call me a

tice. I have a standing offer of 115, ma'am,
from one of the best medical colleges in
this country for my corporosity, just as it
Stands."
And with a stately bow he turned away,
shuffled down the steps and carried his in
sulted corporosity to the next kivcueu.

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
gsaee Ti at Have Been Eradicated sad Vew
Jae That Are Appearing,
In English a great number of errors have)
been so well reproved that they are grow
ing rarer. "And which," and the falsa
collocation of only, which a few years sga
were everywhere, are sometimes hardly ta
be met with in the whole ot a leading sr- ; .
tide. On the other hand, new outrages
are gradually getting common. "Infer,"
far "imply," which would some litUe
time ago have been smiled at as a mere
vulgarism, is incredibly frequent In eosv
veraatlon and by no means unknown ha
print
But far more hideous Is "human" far
human being. And this has appeared of
late in Ixmdon newspapers that ought ta
know better. Our own com plaints as ta
this offense have been merely a plea that
the word so used ia English poetry as weB
aa colonial prose and may be found ia the
poems of Mrs. Browning. Obviously, how
ever, she uses "the human" not in plaas
of "the man," but precisely as "the beau
tiful," "the true," were ao constantly used
by the antepenultimate Lord Lytton.
New follies arc the more to be resisted
as the language of the press ia shedding
old ones and ia gaining much in simplic
ity. The jaded phrase, being spent, is at
last allowed to drop out and die. And
with It will, by degrees, pass away the
habit of exaggeration, boisterous, cold,
disappointing, from which a reader turns
with chilly disapproval. The weak exag
gerate often, and the strong exaggerate
now and then. Exaggeration ia quite ft
different thing from extravagance, vio
lence, delirium. These may lawfully claias
their moment in art. But they can never
eover or disguise the intrusion of exagger
ation, instantly unmistakable and forever
unpardonable.
Then there is the opposite of exaggera
tion, which ia not less mischievous, but .
sillier. It Is not common In literature, bat
it is a most familiar note In a certain kind
ot respectable journalism. There is aa ex
cellent Instance in Tuesday's Times (Duke)
Ernest's biographer is describing thai '
prince's action and influence as contribu
tory to the work of German unity) 1 "Tb
remark of the Emperor William to him aS
Versailles, 'This I awed partly to yom,'
was la a certain measure justified."
The Jaded phrase, the silly phrase and
the phrase of exaggeration are to be avoid
ed simply by simplicity. To attend, ta
wait upon what you really think; not ta
Interrupt yourself with too loud ft word;
not to translate your uncertainty by to
pat a phrase, your moderation by one to
emphatic to do this much ta to lend aa
effectual hand in ft work that has becoene
greatly necessary.
In the use of compound words from far
sign languages It is often the important
half that is dropped in brevity. Un bil
let de sleeping is the current phrase that
meets the traveler; so in un boutellle de
pate. In like manner you may bear tb

Apples.
Chemically the apple Is eompoaed of
vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum
chloropbyl.malle acid, gallio acid, lime and
much water. Furthermore, the German
analysts say that the apple contains a
larger percentage of phosphorus than any
other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing the es
sential nervous matter lecithin- of tb
brain and spinal cord. ,
It la perhaps for the same reason rude
ly understood that old Scandinavian tra
ditions represent the apple as the food of .
the gods, who, when they felt themselves
to be growing feeble and infirm, reaorted
to this fruit, renewing their powers of
mind and body. Also, acids of the apple
are of singular use for men of sedentary
habits, whose livers are sluggish in action,
those acida serving to eliminate from tb
body noxious matters, which, if retained,
would make the brain heavy and dull or
bring about jaundlceorskineruptionsand
other allied troubles.

he custom ot taking apple sauce with
roast pork, rich goose and like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw
or cooked, will neutralize any excess of
chalky matter engendered by eating to
much meat It la also the fact that suck
ripe fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe and without
sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach,
rather than provoke it. Their vegetable
sauces and juices are converted into alka

Unsafe Gifts.
A Chicago bride once displayed checks
among her wedding presents. I am not
sure that this is not often done. It is on
of the most disgusting bits of brag on social
record. No self respecting, decent member
of society ought to flaunt money about,
for every sake. The remedy has come at
last in the shape of real danger. It is n
longer safe to talk about or show money,
for there are desperate people at every
hand waiting to seize every available coin.
If we have got to have burglars and
thieve always with us, and if we ar
obliged to supply means for their support
and amusement, let us by all means try t
give them aa much employment as w ea
for our (or is It thelrf) mouey. I sympa
thize with timid ladiea who lay their plat
outside their door, ou the rug, with a p
ilte appeal to burglars not to disturb them,
since tuos of us, ladles or otherwise, would
give all the plate we have in the world t
escape a horrid midnight shock or shot.
but to call lb attention or inattentive
burglars to the whereabouts of hlthert
