The Point of View.
This is a true story. A certain belle
was present at a recent Chopin recital.
During the "March Funehre," her eyes
glistened and her whole attitude of
rapt attention was as if the music had
entranced her very soul. Her whole
face was expressive of admiration and
Intense interest. When the pianist
had finished, the icort of Miss "Belle"
turned to her and paid: "How beau
tiful!" To which she replied: "Yes,

A Woman's Letter.
Women, it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel l'revost ba.s discovered
the reason for this superioi ity. "The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a veiled meaning.
Woman makes use of a letter just as
she enploys a glance or a smile, in a
way that is carefully thought out, and
with an eye to effect. And, after all,
her head? Do"s a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad
dressed, Just like the letters of some
honest grocer, who writes, '1 send you
five pounds of coffee,' because he
really does send you five pounds of
coffee."

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctor's Talk on Food.
There are no fairer set of men o
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and mauly
admission of the fact.
A c.ise in point is that of a practi
tioner, one of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished
talo needs no dressing up:
"I hail always had an intense preju
dice, which I can now see was unwar
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence. I
never read a line of the many 'ads' of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.

MANAGER KNEW HIS BUSINESS
Probably Reasoned That Applicant
In Her Position Would Work
Hard to Keep the Job
That He Had
to Offer.
"Why d'you leave your last posi
tion?" the besg asked of the girl who
said she worked for Spragne &
Sprague.
"I wasn't exactly forcod to leave,"
she answered, ingeniously; "the man
ager's niece came along and took my
place, and as this forced me back to
the shipping department, where there
was no chance for promotlion or the
same salary, I left of my own free
will, for I knew I could do better else
where." "Let me see. Mr. Jay is manager
at Sprague's. isn't he? I didn't know
he had a niece, at least none with
business training," the boss yawned,
indifferently.
"It may have been his cousin or
aunt or sister, anyway she was relat
ed, I was tol4," replied the applicant
not eo Indifferently, for the pink
spot In her cheek was getting pinker.
"Ho you live with your parents?"
asked the gentle ogre again.
"Yes," replied the applicant, with
perceptible hesitation.
"What do you do mostly after busi
ness hours?" was the next question.
"Of course, I read some," stammer
ed the hopeful one, getting less hope
ful. "Sometimes I do a little sewing
for my cons for my aunt, I mean."
As the questions became more per
sonal she became more uneasy and
less controlled of speech, and her opin
ion of the manager's impertinence un
nerved her.
Hut the gentle ogre quizzed even
further.
"What is your father's trade or bus
iness?" he asked, with another com
fortable yawn. "Is he engaged down
town ?"
The candidate was so new at the art
of bluffing and simulation that her
tongue fluttered miserably between
yes and no and her expression reveal
ed the true situation. There was no
father in town, no mother, not even a
cousin or an aunt.
The manager was shrewd and ob
servant, and he could readily pick out
the girl who tries to get a position on
the strength and courage of her bluffs.
The girl left the office despondent
ly. It was so evident to her that the
boss thought her whole story a fiction

Miners Fear
W'hlta damp Is the gas most feared
by the miners, for its properties ren
der It difficult to detect, inasmuch as
It Is tasteless, odorless, and colorless,
and when mixed in tho proportion of
about one part gas to nlno parts air,
fa called "fire-damp," and becomes
exploslv, to a degree hard to reallz
unless one baa seen Its effects. Black
damp, unlike whlto damp, is heavier
than air; a non-explosive gnw which
may be detected by Its peculiar odor.
Again, unlike the other, Its effect Is to
suffocate and extinguish fire. This gas
Is so heavy and moves wlih such a
sluggish flow, that, ocaulonally, when
nilners have been trapped In a mine
following an explosion and bavo de
tected the black damp creeping In up
on thorn by its smell, they havo been
able to stop Its advance by erecting
dams or barricades along the floor,
building them higher as the volume
of gas Increases, and keeping the air
within their little lnolosure compara

Sterlllxatlon of Milk.
A Russian chemist claims to have
solved the problem successfully of
sterilizing milk without altering Its
ferments and antitoxins. An ordinary
boiling process or heating even to 62
degrees C. will make milk Inert,
while the Russian's method of bring
ing it so rapidly to a temperature of
80 degrees O. that the ferments are
not altered Is Just as effective so
far as the thoroughness of the sterl
llz.atlon is concerned. It Is done in
this manner: The milk is forced Into
the heated vessel In the form of a
spray which breaks It up into glob
ules. It Is at once condensed and
drawn off Into a receiver to cool. An
air spray has no effect upon the char
acter of the milk, but a steam Bpray

Aluminum Coins Objectionable.
The French government has been

finally rejected the proposition. Aft

money, It was concluded that the coin

that they were objectionable In 'he
pockets on account of their weight.
The aluminum coins which were
struck for consideration were so elu
sive that they slipped out of the pock
ets and through the fingers on all oc
casions, and for this reason the coin
erg decided that there would be as
much opposition to their use as there
Is now to the weighty pieces. A com
promise is to be effected, however, by
using a bronze-aluminum alloy, which,
If adopted, w ill cut the weight of the

Over-Enthusiasm Probably as Bad as
a Lack of Real Interest In
One's Business.
It may seem somewhat paradoxical
to say that a girl may take too much
Interest In her work, but It Is never
theless true. Of course, there Is the
class of girl (and she might be called
almost typical she is so numerous)
who is merely poised, so to speak, on
her position temporarily, waiting un
till she shall flutter away to a hus
band and a home, but there is also
the girl who becomes so wrapped up
in her work that only on the rarest
occasion can she take a peep beyond
the narrow horizon that bounds It.
She work early and late until she is
practically a nervous wreck, and is Im
posed upon quite as a matter of
course.
Of course, It Is a truism that f-he
who wishes to succeed must put her
whole heart Into her work. This Is
self evident. Hut there Is a sane and
safe level between neglecting one':'
work and livfng for that and nothing
else. The good worker should also

should learn to drop her work when

SOLVES BIG PROBLEM
SUGAR CANE A SUBSTITUTE FOR
WOOD PULP.
Discovery That H,'s Made Glad the
Hearts of Paper Makers All
Over the World.
One of the greatest problems that
are brought before tho mercantile
world for consideration as a result
of the rapid decrease In the timber
supply is the discovery of a fitting
substitute for wood pulp in the manu
facture of paper. A short time ago
we published a report of the French
system of making paper pulp from
vines, says a writer In the Chicago
Tribune. The latest suggestion, how
ever, is the utilization of sugar cane,
and as far as it has been tested it has
appeared In the light of a genuine ao
lutlon. The planters In Trinidad have found
that they can add enormously to their
yearly profits by raising their cane
and treating it with the specific object
of turning it Into paper, with the
manufacture of sugar as a mere aide
issue. The process which they have
now adopted makes it possible to use
all the fiber of the cane for paper and
at the same time to get more sugar
from it than by any of the old meth
ods. The United States consul at
Santiago, moreover, reports that the
manufacture of paper from the cane
Is exciting considerable Interest and
some investment in all the sugar coun
try and an American company has in
stalled special machinery m Prestoa
on Tripe bay.
The machinery will separate the
pulp from the fiber. The water Is
ellmlated and the pulp and fiber dried
with all the elements of sugar still in
them. The pulp and fiber are handled
separately and the Bugar extracted so
that the fiber is not broken. High
grade paper can bo made from the
fiber and from the pulp residue a
coarser product Is turned out which
has a commercial value, whllo the
quality of the sugar is in nowise af
fected. To Prevent Dry Rot.
Dry rot Is readily prevented, and
there Is really no excuse for allowing
It to attack anything that can be
reached with a brush. Chloride of zinc
Is the best preventive, and the prep
aration of it is as follows: Dissolve
100 parts of crystallized white vitriol
In 250 parts of water, and to this add
fifty parts of common salt. Heat and
set to cool. Sulphate of sodium will
form and separate Itself from the
chloride of zinc by crystallization.
This can be colored, if desired, with
Van Dyke brown and applied to any
surface with a brush.

the girl who Is constantly quoting the
"boss" or bragging of the quantity or
quality of the work she does. The
amusing things that happen at the
ofllce are legitimate subjects for con

house, but the purely buslnuss details

This kind of girl becomes rather a
nuisance to the "boss" himself In
time, for she is always ready to take
offense at anything which she con
siders a slight. Many girls undergo
real suffering by having certain work
which they were In tho habit of doing
given to some one else, when It should

By C. W. JENNINGS.
f2.,sH AVE you ever stood In the
T basement of a big building
L belonging to a great news-
fsJl J paper and watched the
'T T tremendous whining press
s es pulling paper off an end
less roll so fast that your eye could
scarcely follow It, and delivering at
the other end of the machine count
less printed and folded newspapers so
rapidly that tho Indicators on some of
the modern electric presses record as
many as 300,000 eight-page papers an
hour? Or have you watched one of
the tremendous multi-lithographic
presses that pull out a roll similarly
and deliver at the other end colored
pictures that pick up six different col
ors of ink In passing and come out so
fast that no human being could count
them ?
And has it ever occurred to you then
that here wbl tn occupation for your
boy, that he coi.ld start in, without
any more education than the common
est of loiiuuon schools could glvo blin,
when ho was only sixteen, and learn
all about those innumerable whirling
rollers and cogwheels and other
wheels, and Interrelated moving
tilings, and finally be at the head of
the multitude of men that stand
around aid touch levers now and then
and put In new rolls of paper to take
the place of the exhausted ones, and,
in short, know everything about It all,
and still while he was a young man?
Well, your boy can do this very
thing and, furthermore, be can rise
to a superintendency of the biggest
printing establishment In the land,
and, and all based on his humble be
ginning when he was sixteen. And
when he reaches the top which Is
within the compass of your ambi
tious, energetic son he will occupy
a place quite as high in development
and with a salary that will enable him
to own an automobile if lie wishes' to,
sooner than If he took a job In the
first place that let him wear a white
shirt and creased trousers. (Let me
say emphatically that the best po
sitions in the land are generally won
by men who started In wearing over
alls.) All he needs Is the desire, for
a job is always awaiting an ambitious
boy who Is willing to work.
The best opportunities are probably
found In the large printing houses that
get out lithographic and Job
work, books, and and perhaps print
magazines; for the work la more di
versified and of larger character, and
there are openings to be tilled by men
who have made good.
Your boy applies to the foreman,
and. If there is an opening, lie will
start In as an apprentice at about $4
a week. There will be four ifr five
years of work ahead of him before he
will reach what be will consider a real
position; but the drudgery will pass In
about a year. At first lie will keep
tilings in order around the press, help
wasli the ink off the rollers when one
Job Is finished and prepare them lor
the next; but all this time he will be
learning the details of presswork, and j
the mysterious machinery will be-
come familiar to him. i
Pretty soon, say a year or two aft-'
er he began, if he is bright and ambi
tious, he will be set to feeding a Gor- '
don press (one of the small Job press, '
es that print cards, letterheads, en- !
velopes, etc.), and
while doing this
his pay will be gradually increased to
$'j a week. His next advancement
will he feeding u pony (sinulll cylin
der press, when he will be paid as
high as $12, then a larger cylinder
press, receiving $14 weekly; and
finally he will be competent to feed
trie largest snoots oi paper properly
Into one of the biggest cylinders, at
of
$Hi a week.
At this time, whici. is after about
four years of apprenticeship, he will
he admitted to the labor union as a
full-Hedged feeder. The day's work
will last for eight hours. After con
tinuing t'ei'ding for several months, he
will attract the attention eif the fore
man by his application and Industry,
and will be put on as apprentice
pressman at $1S u week, to equip him
self to operate all kinds of (presses, un
til alter a ye-ai's training, ho will get
a union e aid aiinouneiiig that ho is a
qualified pri-ssman and entitled to the
full scale of wages of $'M a week.
Then he will be given direct charge
ol a couple of cylinder presses, witli
the feeders under him.
All this ttlme he will bo reading ami
Btudylng everything he- can find that
relates to a pressman's duties and con
sulting with more experienced men;
in short, making himself capable to fill
any position in tho department. So It
will be a matter of course that In a
year or so more, a vacancy eiccurrlng,
be will be made assistant foreman, at
$:i0 weekly. Of course, this Is In di
rect line to the fori'iiianshlp, the direct
head of the entire press department
of the establishment, who has some
times 100 men and boys under blin,
a position that, i-onditlous belni; fa
vorable, by will reach by the time he
is thirty or soon afterward. As fore
man he- might have charge of as many
as 15 cylinder presses and 20 job
presses, and In the beginning will be
paid $IU a week. This pay will be
ultimately Increased up to as much as
I'M), which is about the pay of the best
foreman.
Your son will have learned long
, since that further advancement must
Include other departments and will he
picking up a general knowledge of tho
composing room, all phases of print
ing, binding, etc., so as to make him
self capable to take tho next higher
position, that of assistant superintend
ent on tho entire ni"chanical de
partment. His salary this time will
be somewhere around $1,000 a ear.
Of course this leads directly to tho
position of superintendent, the execu
tive and controlling boss of all me
i rhanical work of the Institution. Su
perintendents are paid anywhere from
$5,000 a year up, according to the mag
nltude of the business of the company
they work for, and In all likelihood
your son will soon be made a member
of the firm, or will be called by a largo
1 establishment to take the general
management. Some superintendents
aro paid aa much as $10,000 a year.
The line of progress In a newspaper
office Is somewhat different. Your
boy starts In at sixteen as apprentice,
which he must follow for four or five
years. The pay at first will be $4 to
$6 weekly, and ho will work up from
the drudgery part, which Is the same
as in the other case, then In a year
or so become braketnan, the man that
starts and stops presses on order of
tho regular pressman. About this time
he will Join the union, and then will
work up througn various steps, In
general similar to those followed In
regular printing houses, until he be
comes assistant and finally regular
pressman at $30 a week. Largo news
paper presses are generally attended
by two pressmen and four or five as
sistants. Tho next promotion Is to bo
assistant foreman of tho press room.
who is paid $55 a week; and finally to
foreman at anywhere from $05 to $100,
according to the magnitude of the
business.
It is likely that after becoming fore
man your son will be offered an ad
vanced position In a general printing
establishment, In which case his prog
ress will be much as narrated before.
This is ono of the most lucrative
definite lines of work connected with
the publishing business, and offers
fine opportunities for getting on, as
has been seen. In these days a man
who can take charge of tho machin
ery used In printing a large dictionary
or of lino lithographic work. In which
the excellence of the output depends
so directly upon the presBwork, has
accomplished much.

a question which can hardly yet be

this, that the starling Is HaMj to be

not be particularly objectionable, but
that If, after spreading out all over

Work and Marriage.
In the New York courts recently a
girl, aged 17, on being told by her
mother that she was old enough to
go to work, replied: "Work, I will
not; I prefer to marry." Whereupon
she was married before night to a
young man earning $8 per week.
That is of a piece with the reasoning
of another girl who, being interro
gated by a friend, "Where are you
working now, Mamie?" answered
promptly, "I ain't working; I'm mar
ried." Boston Herald.
