SAW ATTACHflENT.
Frans O. Helsten, of Larlum. Mich.,
has obtained a patent on the saw-oiling
device shown Jn the illustration. It is
well known that In sawing heavy sticks

through the handle on either side of t
the blade and there Is a spring-controlled
piston Inside the reservoir which
forces the oil through the openings as ;
often as the piston Is' pressed by the
flftger. The length of the piston stroke
Is regulated by raising or lowering the
screw cap at the top of the piston. Pro-

regulated by partially closing the hole

A well-known English woman who is

very well acquainted with her Ixmdon
how much pin money was required by
a womnn who "went about a good deal,
but wasn't really extravagant. She replied;-,
"If you're very careful you can man
age to dress on $2,000 a year," ami after
a slight pause she added, with modest
pride:
"I used to somehow, when Bobble and
I were first married and hadn't six

Cardinal Pedro Goncalez was a pious
man who believed in the gospel of
peace. He noticed one day that a
priest In his traiu carried a short sword
ander his cloak. The cardinal reproved
him. saying that a cleric should not
carry arms.
"True," answered the priest humbly,
"but I carry the weapon only to defend
myself should I be attacked by a dog."
"In that case," said the cardinal.
"and If I saw a dog running toward
me, I should begin to recite the Gospel
of John."
"That," returned the priest, "would
be a wise thing, indeed, but may It not
be that there are some dogs that do not
understand Latin?" Youth'B Com
