you know winchester in england is on the river itchen and into the main stream there run numer ous small tributaries the water of these brooks is exceptionally clear and trout often of a good size abound in tho uain thoroughfares t the city the brooks which run along by the edge of the roads are mostly cov ered in in order to allow surface water to flow away gratings are ar ranged at intervals and it is through these that cunningly baited lines are cast and a good trout often captured now and again a fish may get away with hook and lino and swim rapidly down stream thcu the fisherman makes a wild dash along the bank un til sooner or later the flowing water comes more definitely into the open and there occurs an opportunity to re trieve the lost line and hook and per haps secure the fish

worship which would bless the world ii a peacemaker gen 13 112 the story so frankly told in the lat ter part of chap 12 is not creditable to abram it may have been that he met again in the populous and hich land of egypt some of the evils which he had sought to escape when he left haran- the way of cowardice and falsehood did not prove to be the way of safety and he richly deserved the rebuke of

cleaning some ex perts use a small amount of kerosene instead because besides cutting the grease it leaves a brilliant luster denatured alcohol is also good for cleaning glass it evaporates rapidly and leaves a brilliant sheen although it is most effective when used concen trated it need not always be used that way for a small amount may be added to tho wash water just as one would uso kerosene or ammonia when cloths or chamois are to be used in cleaning windows it is an excellent plan to wipe the panes first with a wad of dampened paper that of the tissue toweling type being es pecially good for the purpose this removes mostof the grime so tha the other cleaning agents do not get soiled so quickly some women follow this plan by merely rubbing witli a dry piece of old taffeta silk which leaves the windows bright and clear many home makers who use chamois for this purpose do their window washing between times of loading the washing machine on wash day instead of tak ing the time to wash out the chamois this arrangement does that work for them by merely dropping the skin in to the machine whence it emerges ready for tho rest of tho windows or dots seem to be growing in popu
