Â¥he principal of the high school discovered a circuitous route from his home to the school that took only ten minutes longer to travel. Children instinctively shunned the prodigy of information, because Caleb had been reduced, once or twice, to the necessity of holding them up and demanding an answer to the question: "Which is the longest bridge in the wo.ld ?" But the thing that most envenomed Mr. Coppin‘s former associates of the study room at the rear of the barber shop was the fact that Caleb had gainâ€" ed no small credit with the feminine part of Brookfield society.

To Avoid Odors of Cooking Vegeâ€" tables.â€"When cooking cabbage, onâ€" ions or cauliflower, to prevent the odor from permeating the house, place a goodâ€"sized piece of bread in the botâ€" tom of the kettle in which the vegeâ€" table is cooking. The table linen may vary for the different meals, as a lunch cloth or doilies for breakfast and luncheon, and a tablecloth for dinner. _ These should bear out the saine keynote of simplicity as the table decoration. In all cases the plates and silverâ€" ware should be placed oneâ€"half inch from the edge of the table. The dinâ€" ner knife and fork are always placed nearest the plate. The knife, with the blade turned toward the plate on the righ? of the plate, the fork with tines up, on the left of the plate. The other pieces of silver are placed in the order in which they will be used, beginning with the outside. The spoons are placed to the right of the knife, while all forks are placed to the left of the dinner fork. The butter spreader may be placed either on the butter plate or at the top of the "cover," with the point toward the fork. Setting the table correctly three times a day is an art, but it is one which everyons may acquire. Simâ€" plicity is the keynote in all table decorations. In no other point is the taste and culture of a housewife so observed as in the table service which she offers Her family and ‘friends. The arrangement of the plate, glass, napkin, and silverware for each perâ€" son is called the "cover." Each kind of meal has its own particvlar pieces of silverware necessary for it, but the same general rules apply to all. ~.It is not necessary to have txained servants to set the table correctly and to serve the meals nicely. Any houseâ€" wife can do it, and with no more time and energy expended, if she will but train herself.

When an explosion ocâ€" curs the dust is automatically thrown from the troughs to the floor of the mine, and the cloud of incombustible dust filling the air at this point stops the passage of the burning coalâ€"dust. Coalâ€"dust floating in the air in clouds is just as likely to cause explosions in coal mines as fireâ€"damp, and there are three ways of overcoming the danger. The commonest method is to use water to lay the dust. Then there is the plan of rendering the dugt nonâ€"inâ€" flammable by mixing with it ordinary rockâ€"dust. This is done by applying a coating of the rockâ€"dust to various parts of the mine, and the plan is very effective.
