Screw one side of binge upright on to the lower right-hand corner of upper window sash, direct ly above the slight flange on all up per sashes. See that the hinge1 la toward and almost touching the'win dow casing. This will leave one side of the hinge free to turn. When wishing to fasten window turn 'the free side of the hinge as far back aa possible. This brings it over the low er sash. It will be invisible from the outside, but will prevent the lower sash being raised or the upper one lowered. When hinge is closed it will not interfere with raising win dow, and does not disfigure or weak en the window sash. irds Stopped the Clock. The town clock in Sarnla, Out, stopped one morning not long ago, and on investigation the hands were found securely tied down by" strands of twine and grass. The mischief had been done by a pair of sparrows. De siring to build a nest hi the angle of the hands, the movement of which' in terfered with their plans, they tied the hands to each other, and to the framework, in such a manner that it took considerable time nnd labor to remove the obstructions. The epgi neering skill displayed, and the amount of industry and perseverance exhibited, makes the feat quite phe nomenal in bird annals. Uselessnsse ef Killing Authors. There is really no use killing an author to prevent the country pro ducing others, because the man with a book in him is like a birdthat must lay an egg. We might start a aew or ganization to discover f people likely to write books and strangle them be fore they find a publisher, but even that would fail, because it is not pos sible to tell who can write a success ful book until it is written. The literary faculty arises in the most un expected ways, andv even dogma can not anticipate its uncertainties. Sat urday Review. Toned Down. A well known author had been asked to write a brief history of the life of a man who had done some service to his country. This man had originally been a wood chopper, a fact to which his historian gave promi nence. "Don't say he waa a wood chopper, said the son of the family. "That will never da" "What shall I say, then?" asked the author. "Say let me see, bow. Just say that ha was coaaected with the timber iadue try." Semcthing in Oils.

To the young writer. Uka Joaea, for Instance, the begtaaiag of his story appeara the nsost palafuL Jonea haa nis Idea, his story skeleton, dancing in his brain, hut ha can't gat a holt oa any of its limbs and lay It flat. It sludes alas aad laagha him to acorn aa he tries to put paper aad iak flesh oa its hoaes. Joaea thinks of the various open tags of stories ha haa read. The ro saaatic -style, aa adopted by Scott, Dumas aad O. P. R. James, comes to bis mind: Two solitary horsemen warn travers ing a lonely wood nt the and of n hot July day. Tha steeds picked their way carefally aa they passed over tha un derbrush, and for an hour or two tha animals' footfalls were .the only sounds heard. At length (yea, of course) the alder horsemaa waa tha first to break the silence. (Tha elder horsemaa alwaya la tha flrat ta break the silence.) x But there area't aay horsemea la Jones' story, and it'a a matter of ia diflereace to him waa breaks tha at leace flrat The New gaglaad style next eocurs to him: "Louisa," callad a hard, sharp voice from the rear kitchen "yon come right In this mlnnit! Louisa! Leoae-ser! Drat tha gal, where la aha? OalUvaatia' araouad then Hicka'a medeers. I reck on. Fer the Inn's aaka, here aha la naow!" . Jones realises that this kind of open ing attracts attention from tha start and gives promise of laterestiag do mestic trouble for Louisa.

Ah. here la the society novel style: Helen Van Mustard came down the steps of Mrs. Gsllashin's house in the Seventies, near the park, with com pressed lips and cloudy eyes. "Home, Julius," she said, aa she stepped Into her limousine, aad aa the well appointed machine flew along the avenue, barely withia the limits of the law, aha wondered dumbly how she was goiag to right herself with her recent hostess. Helen felt con vinced that the Countess Sslgxkxow skl had cheated, bat how to prove It? No, that won't do. There are ao over moneyed people In Jones' work, spending twice as much aa they've got Once upon a time there waa a Ridiculous. It sounds too much like n fairy story. Going to the other ex treme suddenly, Jones conceives this start: The thouaaada and thousands of co Incidences which occur In the daily lives of the present century toller in fallibly lead to the' conclusion that what we term accident or chance is really only Hang It! That leads nowhere. By this time Jones haa forgotten what his story to about Well, he must concentrate his mind. Let him think. There's a man and a' woman who marry and who separate Immediately afterward. Why? Now, why? Oh, yes. because they must meet again 20 years" later in order to threatea ruin to the 'lives of the hero and heroine, one of whom is the child of the woman by n previous marriage aad the other the child of the man by a subsequent nnd bigamous marriage. And the point la the point is well what to the point? The poiat might be several things, but Jones hsan't got that far yet All Jones wants to do Is to begia his story, but he can't decide whether to begin with the, marriage of the parents or the lovemaking of the youngsters and go backward when he's in the middle of the narrative. He might start this way: Esther yawaed and threw down her book. The hammock felt uncomfort able to her shoulders and she wished life held more novelty for her. Oh, for the mediaeval days of glory when knights came riding up from the east and threw down gauntlets. Oh, for the Jones began to get nervous himself now. One more try:- "Well, fer n newly married couple them two to the most businesslike par ties as ever I seen," muttered the sexton as ha watched the ceremony from the rear of the church. He thought of the blushing brides and the eager bridegrooms who had stood up before, the Rev. Amos Daingerfleld during the last 14 years of the latter's incumbency of the Suddenly there- was a muffled cry and a dark flash through, the air.

Correct Interpretation Essential. Many of the most beautiful pieces off poetry in literature would seem unin teresting and flat if read by a bad reciter. ' In the same way. a good re citer will make attractive a poem whose beauties are not so apparent. A fine painter will light up each little beauty in his pictures until the small est detail is attractive and strikes the eye. It is only the mediocrity whoaa work Is characterized by aaiaoaoss aad lack of interest.
