New York man baa designed the accompanying attachment for tables. Through a slot In the pedestal of the table a horizon tal arm is thrust and pivoted. A short downward curved end of the arm is faetened to the bottom of the pedestal by means of a coded spring, and on the other and longer end of the arm is a ring to- support, a child.-V-The child can wall? back and forth until his legs are strong enough to bear his weight unaided; the spring supporting him In the" meantime, while a bracket limits the lateral movement of the arm .

ALPHABET' IS EVER CHANGING Painters Cause Certain Letters to As sume New Shapes Cultivating -Artistic 8lde of Trade. Alphabets are suffering a change of form at the hands of modern sign painters, remarks the Philadelphia Record. For many years letters have1 held certain distinct forms, which gave them their names and classes. Sign painters, however, are cultivat ing the artistic side.pf their trade, and from Various signs displayed all over the city there seems to be a great unanimity of opinion ' among them as to the apeparance of certain letters in one of the alphabets. This new idea seems to be a ten dency to fill in and "balance" blank spaces. It was first to be observed on the letter "L." The painter saw fit to add a frill about the middle of the space between the base and the upright. Next the letter "O"' of the series was attacked and the orna mentation went in the middle, mak ing the familiar letter resemble an old Greek "theta." "A" and "V" and "Q" have been ' the latest." to , be touched up. , 4 If the idea spreads ; much .further the entire alphabet wili ctraage Tits fiisevsJ''-., " 't i.

A boy of fourteen, in Illinois, start ed out; with a dog, a revolver and an axe, hunting for squirrels, 'and found something else. After getting into the deep woods, the dog suddenly charged a hollow log, and barked, furiously, The boy tried to'sio"- him on, but without avail. Then1 the boy kneeled down and peered Into the cavity, and saw a whole lot of eyes gleaming at him. When he recovered from his surprise, he took an other look, and made out the group to be a she-wolf with six cubs. She snapped her teeth viciously, and would have come out had it not been for the presence of the cubs. The boy was a strategist He sharpened some stakes with his axe, and drove them into the earth in front of the opening; and hav ing thus Imprisoned the wolf, killed It with his revolver,-When she was dead, the boy up ended the log, tumbled out the cubs, killed then, with the axe, and then marched home with seven scalps, for which he received a hand-J some bounty. , TO UNTIE CAPTIVE SCISSORS Considerable Amusement Is Furnished by Releasing Instrument When . , i Once Fastened. - ,' i -' A neat trick (or affording amuse ment at an entertainment of. young people is shown In the illustration.

And it la a perfectly natural consequence - that any influence In tbe blood that is a condition of 111 health makes Its first appearance In the skin. There are certain medicinal properties that follow, the course of tbe blood stream and the Influence of these properties la that of an antidote. vThis la why 8. S. S., the beat knuwn blood purifier, has Such a positive action-la the skin. There Is one Ingredient' In S. p. S. which peculiarly stimulates cellular ir glandular activity to select from the. blood or from this fine net work of blooa vessels In the skin, those elements whieU It requires for regeneration.- j ... .: -. Thus pimples, acBe,ecxema, lupus, or any other blood condition that attacks the skin or seeks an outlet through the skin Is met with the antidotal effect of S. S. S. The action of S.'. S. In the cellular tissues of the body serves the active pur pose .of stimulating each cellular part to tha healthy and Judicious selection of Its own essential nutriment: Not only this, but if from the presence of some disturb ing poison a c&nditton of disease arises, 8. 8. S. so directs the local cells that this poison is rejected'' and eliminated from their presence. -'.) ' ' - :r This Is why skirl troubles vanish so readily and why they do not return. Under the Influence of 8. 8. 8. this fine network of blood vessels In the akin Is constantly taking from' the blood the nu trition required for Wealthy tissue and the cause of disease is lust as constantly be ing removed,- scattered and rendered harmless.

I Very; recently I gave V demonstration on stump pulling to the mertobers :of the Royal Commia sion 6ri.Agri6ulture, appointed by the goverrttn'ent.1 of British Columbia. In this demonstration I first attached, a large sized,- horse-power stump puller of ther capstan variety to,, a fir stump of about .20 inches diameter. This stump was on an open "gravelly soil and the roots penetrated quite deep. i I hitched a 1600 pound horse to the stump puller, and it failed to move the stump. I then attached the Trewhella machine to the same stump and pulled it out quite- easily in seven and one half minutes, J the ; roots being pulled out clean and ' clear; , V; While pulling the stump ; (as is my usual custom) I kept a man with a - mattock knocking the; dirt from the roots as the -stump was raised and allowing it to fall back into the hole made by, the lifting of the stumpr By doing this the ground is left nearly Mevel and requires very litte . grading" afterwards. - Naturally the members of the Commission were greatly delighted i with the machine f and in order- to personally test .it, Mr. Hay ward, .
