Perhaps the most novel use to which bread is put may be seen in one of oar great watch factories, where more than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. An official of the watch fac- tory is quoted as saying “There is no secret regarding the use of bread in this factory, and I am will- to tell all I can concerning it. From e earliest times in the history of watchmaking it has been the custom of watchmakers :to reduce:fresh bread to the form of dough, This is done by steaming and kneading. They then use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere in course of manufacture to pleces as small as a part of a watch. There are many parts of a watch, by the way,, that are so small as to be barely visible to the haked eye. The oil is absorbed by this dough and the chips stick to it, and there 18 no other known substance ‘which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of its particles attached to the thing wiped. This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the watchmaking industry.”—American Food Journal. A Quaint . Compliment. On Mark Twain’s - seventy-second birthday a Hartford clergyman said of him: “No wonder he finds happiness in old age. All the aged would be happy if they were as sympathetic and as kind as he. He is continually going out of his way to please others, and the result 18 that he is continually pleasing him- self. Listen, for instance, to the quaint compliment he paid me the last time he came to hear me preach. He walted for me at the church door at the serv- ice’s end and, shaking me by the hand, sald gravely: “ mean no offense, but I feel oblig- ed to tell you that the preaching: this morning has been of a kind that I can spare., ‘I go to church, sir, to pursue my own train of thought, but today I couldn’t do it. You interfered - with me. You forced me to attend to you and lost me a full half hour. I beg that this may not occur again.’” Philosophy of Descartes. Turning the mental vision inward, as Bacon turned it outward, Descartes watched the operations of the soul as an object in a microscope. Resolved to believe nothing but upon evidence 80 convincing that he could not by any effort refuse his ascent, he found as he inspected his bellefs that he could ‘plausibly doubt everything but his own existence. Here at last was the everlasting rock, and this was re- vealed in his own consciousness; hence his famous “Cogito ergo sum” (I think, therefore I am). Consclousness, sald he, is the basis of certitude. Interro- gate it and its clear replies will be sclence, for all:clear ideas are true. Down in the depths of the mind is the idea of the infinite perfection—the mark of the workman impressed upon his work. Therefore God exists.—New York American. 8clence and Sound Fact. “The workings of the human mind when asleep are. full .of wonder,” re- marked a sclentist who was paying:a wislt to an acquaintance. “Have you ever started up from a sound dream- Mrs. A.

In reviewing. “The Barly ‘Marrled| Life of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley,” the London Spectator comments on the| :.. light in" ‘which drunkenness was re- garded at the beginning of the nine- ‘teenth century. There was a christen- ing of twins and-rejoicing -among the| ‘neighbors, tenants and laborers. “All the -guests,”- says Marla, ‘were as drunk as T ever had the pleasure of seeing any one.” Among the laborers, however, “that extent of intoxication ‘was not reached which causes men to ‘be swine.” 7 Lady Sheffleld, who received this ac- conunt of the festivities, reples: “I would have given a great deal to be present. There 18 nothing I love so much as such sort of festivities, where one has the satisfaction of knowing that one makes one’s friends happy as well as drunk.” In London, she de- clares, “when you give a ball you af- front many people, please a few, make many drunk and yourself miserable.” Clay and the Salary Grab. “Quinn,” said an -old :member one day, “I heard you worrying about the mileage. Did you ever: hear the story of Clay and the salary grab?” “No,” I replied. “When Clay was speaker,” he con- tinued, “along about 1816, the crowd raised their salaries to $1,500 a year. There was a great howl all over the country, and when Clay reached home In Kentucky he found.old one armed John Pope, a Federalist, out after his scalp to beat the band ‘and all:the Clay adherents ominously silent. Worried and anxious, Clay sought out his old barber, who had always been enthusi. astic in his advocacy and who hap- pened to be an Irishman. ‘I trust I may count on your hearty support, as usual? Clay asked. ‘Faith, Mr. Clay,’ sald the Irish barber, ‘I think I shall vote at this time for the man who can get but one hand into the treasury.’” —Success Magazine, MAKES RAPID HEADWAY Add This Fact to Your-Store of Knowl- edge.
