Txperiments have recently been
made to prove that sugar is a val
uable ingredient in mo?r and ce
ment, bglns'; strong binding quall
ties. Equal quantities of finely pow
dered lime of a very common kind
were mixed with an equal quantity ot
good brown sugar, with the addition
of water, and the result was a cement
of exceptional strength. This has
“been tried at Peterborough Cathedral,
two large pleces of stone of the brok
en tracery of a window having been
joined firmly together by sugared mor
tar. The severest test is Jjoining
glass, which gives no hold to mortar
without the use of sand; yet this
has been successfully done. The fact
appears to be certain that sugar pro
duces an extraordinary effect on lime
when the latter has been allowed to
g;ll’ into a fine powder and has been
oroughly slacked. Particles of un.
slacked lime would destroy the re
sult, because of their expansion,
which would make the mortar lifa.
The sugar mortar thus made will be
found to be as good as Portland ce
ment, and the only question, there
fore, is one of cost. It is even prob
able that Portland cement itself
would be made much stronger by “tho
addition of sugar. Treacle might
have the same effect.—Detroit News
Tribune.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is &
blood or, constitutional disease, and ir order
to cure it you must take internal remedies,
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
face. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by one c?f the
best physicians in this country for years
and is a regular prescription. It is com sed
of the best tonics known, combined witgnothc
best bloommhm acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. fle pe_r%ect combination
of the two mfredxentl is what produces
such wonderful results in curing catarrh.

That Man’s Presence
T
b s B
HERE are two clagses of plants which are incited by man’s
presence to describe certain definite movements. One
class, the sensitive-plants, retract their leaflets as we ap
proach them as if ‘hey resented any attempt at closer inti
macy, while the other class, comprising all those vines
which develop climbing organs called tendrils, will reach
out toward us if we place our hands in contact with them,
and will even use a finger as a support to climb upos. We
know that these tendrils will wind just as readily about’a
twig or-a grass stem, but as one feels these sensitive strands multiply their
encircling coils about one’s fingers, there almost seems to be established be
tween us and the vegetable world a more intimate relationship than has ever
existed before, 5
Tendrils are indeed capable of exhibiting faculties and going through ev
olutions more wonderful perhaps than many of us realize. It is only after we
have seen them at work, testing with their sensitive tips the objects they
come in contact with, apparently considering their suitabiliy as-a suppori and
then accepting or rejecting them, as the case may be—it is only then that
we realize how justly they have been called the “brains of plant life.”
The thoroughness with which these wandering tips explore their sur
roundings 1s illustrated by an instance I observed in a grapevine tendril. A
cherry branch, whose leaves had been various punctued and scalloped by
insects, hung near the tendril, and a particular leaf had just one small hole
in its blade, not over three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. So careful had
been the exploration of the leat’s surface that this one small hole had been
discovered by the tendril, which had thrust itself nearly three inches through
the opening.—Harper's Magazine, i

E ake the Children Happy
LIS A5 SR UL %
% By Orison Swett Marden. %
1 have ail seen children who have had no childhood. '¥he
fun-loving element has been crushed out of them. They have
been repressed and forbidden to do this and that so long
that they have lost the faculty of baving a good time. Wwe
see these little old men and women everywhere,
Children should be kept children just as long as possl
ble. What has responsibility, seriousness or sadness to de®
with children? We always feel indignant, as well as sad,
when we see evidences of maturity, over-seriousness, eare,
or anxiety, in a child’s face, for we know some one has sinned somewhere,
The little ones should be kept strangers to anxious care, reflective
thoughts and subjective moods. Their lives should be kept light, bright, buoy
ant, cheerful, full of sunshine, joy and gladness. They should be encouraged
to laugh and to play and to romp to their heart’s content. The serious side of
life will come only too quickly, do what we may to prolong childhood.
: One of the most unfortunate things I know of is the home that is net il
luminated by at least one cheerful, bright, sunny young face, that does not ring
with the persistent laughter and merry voice of a child.
No man or woman is perfectly normal who is distressed or vexed by the
playing of children. There was something wrong in your bringing up if ¥
annoys you to see children romping, playing, and having a good time.—Frem
Success Magazine. ;
