A PROBLEM. Have you ever watched a fellow, when he's working by the day- How his slow feet move more slowly when the boss has gone away, How hard he trios to save his hands by using up his brains, How the shady spots seem always to be needing special pains, ' How resting spells come often, and how long he eats at noon, How late he gets to working, though he always quits too soon? i Just watch the next one, and you'll And There's truth in whnt I say, For he'sworking by the day, day, day He's working by the day!

H A N D w BIN I BH ED CLOTHING Have you ever watched a fellow, when he's working by the Job How his violent gyrations fairly make your pulses throb. How he never stops to whistle and he never stops to sing. And no matter how the boys call, he doesnt hear a thing; How he gives the "lick and promts" to the work he's set to do: And you think he's scarcely started till. behold! the fellow's through? There's no doubt the face of nature Will be marred by many a daub. For he's working by the Job, Job, Job He's working by the Job! Lillian Townsend Taylor, in Succesa Water That Can Magnetise, A reputable scientific publication Is sponsor for the statement that in at least three places In the state of Indl ana springs or wells whose water poa sesses marked magnetism and Is able to Impart it to steel articles dipped there- This property has been reported of other springs in various parts of the world, but such tales have ben re ceived by scientific men with caution. In this case the magnetism seems to arise from the fact that considerable quantities of carbonate of iron are dis solved in the water. When it stands for some time this decomposes into carbonic acid gas, which escapes, and agnetlc iron oxide, which falls to the bottom of the containing vessel as a powder. When the decomposition has ceased, the water Is no longer mag netic. These springs are said to cause perceptible deviation of a compass needle, and a knife blade immersed for Ave minutes in one of the springs Is magnitized sufficiently to sustain a property for 20 hours. The water cor rodes locomotive boilers, but, when al lowed to stand till the carbonate has all decomposed, can be used with im punity. Success, , r.; ., .. '" . mi Even Boston Slips a Little.

" Few explorers have gained great wealth. Most of them have either for feited life In the purslt of their am bitious projects or been satisfied with small pension. Sir Henry Stanley was an exception. He left an estate of more than 750,000, amused largely from the sale of his books. Livingstone's fortune did not amount to one-tenth of this. Du Challlu pased almost penniless.
