The exposed part of the porcelain
should be wiped with a piece of clean

A good method of setting the points
is to ase a pair of pliers with a point-

to bend in a curve rather than a

use a strip of 22 -gauge galvanized

hold, and should always be kept in

After the plug has been cleaned
and assembled it is advisable to put
three or four drops of a mixture of
engine oil and powdered graphite on
the threads, which will tend to make

timer, Most of the lads and lassies
thereabout were half -timers. We wont
to school every other day. I was paid
two shillings and a panty a week,
which went into the family fund.
For a year I worked as flax dresser
at Arbroath; then my people moved to
a colliery district near Hamilton, In
Lanarkshire, and I went to work as
a trapper in the coal mines, It was
my job to open the trapdoor and let
the pony with a load or empties come
in, and the pony with a full rake of
care of coal come out. I spent ten
years at work underground, and rose
to be driver, and then to be coal
hewer,
Even when I was a wee 'addle I
was fond of singing. I used to sing
at contests and at amateur recitals,
and finally I became so much in de-
mand that when they had me sing and
recite at paid entertainments, they of-
fered me two shillings and sixpence
for my evening's programme, Did I
take it? Why, eau, I flew at it like
a cock at a ripe gooseberry, After two
years I raised my price to five shil-
lings; and two years later I raised it
to seven shillings and sixpence.
Many's the week I would put in three
evenings at that figure. With what 1
earned at singing and reciting, added
to the thirty shilliaigs a week I made
as a coal miner, I saw I was on the
highroad to fortune.
I did my Met work as a coal miner
in June, 1894, and then quit my job in
the mine to go on the road as a Scotch
comedian, with the Kennedys, the
Scottish entertainers.

They bury the friendless dead, and
also discharge the functions of an
ambulance corps, dealing with acci-
dents as they occur, and carrying the
sick or injured to the hospitals. The
funds needed for the work are de-

A pompous old man was having his

break the monotony with a remark.
"How are you getting along?" he in-

To his astonishment the artist, ab-

and shut your mouth."
Not being accustomed to such treat-
ment, the sitter asked: "May I ask'
why you address me in this manner?"'
The artist, still absorbed in his
work, replied: "I want to take off a

Forestry in Canada
There is a steadily increariag move-
ment toward the emplayment of train-
ed foresters by private concerns,
principally pulp and paper companies.
Fourteen such companies in eastern
Canada now employ foresters for ex-
ploration, mapping, cruising, survey-
ing, inspection of woods operations,
forest research, fk'rest nursery work,
tree planting, or some combination of
these activities. Willie this. is a splen-
did development and one most pro-
mising for the future, it must still be
recorded that only to a very limited
extent have foresters in private em-
ploy yet been used in the actual
supervision of woods operations, and
that their influence has not yet been
felt to any great extent in modifying
the methods of conducting such opera•
tions with a view to increasing the
productiveness of cut -over lands. De-
volapnrents along these lines must be
gradual; it will increase with increas-
ing shortage of timber supplies and
consequently higher stumpage values,
and as the forestry profession demon -
states its worth.
The reduction of unnecessary waste
in logging operations opens a large
field to thoroughly practical men with
forestry training; only a beginning
has yet been made. Adequate action
along this line would greatly lengthen
the period of operation in virgin sup-
plies of many concerns. Aside from
more complete utilization of mer-
chantable material in the trees—by
cutting lower stumps and higher up
into the tops—it is well known that
great amounts of cut timber have been
carelessly left to rot in the woods or
left stranded in the smaller streams.
Moro careful 'supervision would cor-
rect a great deal of this abuse,
though considerable loss by sinkage
and stranding in stream -driving
seems unavoidable.
Another field of large possibilities
lies in the better oontrol of jobbers'
operations, with a view to ensuring
the removal of all merchantable ma-
teriul an areas being cut over. There
is evidence that, in some cases, lack
of supervision results in jobbers beteg
given a larger area than they require
for the cutting of the number of logs
coutracted for. The result is that the
jobber is likely to pick and choose,
taking the best and most. accessible
trees, and leaving behind much mer-
chantable material which should have
been taken, but Is too email in amount
to justify a later operation. This is
likely to be lost through windfall, in-
sects, decay or fire before the under-
sized timber makes sufficient growth
to justify another operation.

Among the pulp and paper come

aro the Laurentide Company, Ltd.,
and the Riordan Pulp and Paper Com-
pany, both in Quebec. Both these
concerns are working toward an an-
nual -planting of 2,000,000 trees.
During the past year the Abitibi
Company has organized a forestry de-
partment in connection with its limits
in Northern Ontario. In addition to
other lines of forestry work, this com-
pany has established a forest nursery,
with a view to undertaking planting
operations.
That the field for private forestry
is increasing rapidly is clearly indi-
cated by the increasing number of
foresters who are going auto the work
on a consulting basis. Forest sun
veye, mapping, cruising and explora-
tion are, at present, the principal lines
open to such men.
