Ir. advocating the plan of building factory chimneys of . reenforced concrete, Mr. E. R. Matthews told the Concrete Institute in London recently â€" some sinteresting facts about these structures. They can be built at less than half the cost of brick chimneys, and are of greatâ€" er stability than brick structures, because they have no joints. Very much iess matcrial is required on account of the relative thinness of the walls. . Under the British law a& chimney 300 feet tall would have to have the walls, if constructed of brick, about four feet ten inches thick at the base, but a concrete chimney would have a thickness of only nine inches for the outer wall, and five inches for the inner, with a space of four inches between. Tha "hair ecracks‘" in concrete chimneys are only skinâ€"deep, and have no practical importance. The chunneys are anchored by having the vertical steel bars continued inâ€" to the foundation, and there bent at an angle of 90 degrees. Many are calculated to resist a wind of 100 wmiles per hour, a velocity pracâ€" tically unknown. Don‘t walk up and down the ficor with a cross, restless child. Nothing can be more demoralizing to the little one and it is a serious tax upon the mother‘s strength and nerves. When a child is peevish and cross there is probably some little derangement of ‘the stomach or bowels, and a dose of Baby‘s Own Tablets will remove the cause of the trouble and enable the litâ€" tle one to sleep soundly. Mrs. W. Bouffard, Piopolis, Que., says :. ‘I have found Baby‘s Own Tablets superior to all other remedies for ecuring constipation and. making tecething easy. They also promote healthful sleep, and I recommend them to other mothers.‘‘ Sold by medicine dsalers or by mail atâ€" 25 cents a box from The Dr. â€"Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. __Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr: Wilâ€" liams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The windows are delicate lattice work of bamboo, and the furniture is of slender bamboo, bent and curled and plaited. The water bucket is a good big stalk, sawed off just below the joint and made as deep as is needed above it. For a bottle a slender piece is taken and treated in the same way. If a knife is mislaid a good sharp eage of bamboo is taken, and it does just as"well for everything, except cutting bamboo, as if it were steel. Hunger is kept off by cutting the little tender shoots just as they peep from the ground and cocking them like asparagus. "Oh, moderately,‘""‘ was the reâ€" ply ; "I don‘t feel very comfortable on Sundays; I live in the pulpit under the cushion, and on that day the parson comes and bangs the book, and sends his fists on the side and I have to keep very close, or else some day I think he‘ll hit me.
