One Seam For Fifteen Yscrs
It has been said that the most mo
notonous form of labor Is gumming
labels But there are many others
which come very near it in the boot
turn of the machine handle In some j j
cases a pair of shoes have passed
through fifteen pairs of hands b fore
reaching completion As a uaturui re
sult there are workers who week ufter
week go on performing the same v ork
hundreds of times a day Indeed in
one factor- there is a woman who for
fifteen years has sewed only one seam
Her machine works so rapidly that she
spends as much time inserting and
withdrawing her work as in tlie actual
sewing Westminster Gazette

In Wild

ears if long transportation Is
Practically a steamboat and steam
winch combined the engine can be
thrown in gear to drive the paddle
wheels or twin screws according lo
which of the two the boat Is equipped
with or drive a cable drum which
holds a mile of five eighths Inch steel
cable used for warning and crossing
portages
At the end of a water journey the
cable Is carried to a tree some distance
Inland and at one side of the path des
ignated for the bout to pass over Pass
ed through a pulley block It is carried
back to the boat and run through a
pulley block at the bow Then re
turned inland again it Is fastened lo a
tree on the other side of tho path and
just opposite the first tree thus mak
ing It possible for the boat to travel
a straight course without dodging the
anchor trees The engine Is geared to
Hie cable drum and the cumbersome
but powerful craft commences its rock

Color of the Sky and the Moon and

It is the atmosphere that makes the
sky look blue and tha moon yellow If
we could ascend to o elevation of fif
ty miles above tho earths surface we
should see that tho moon is a brilliant
white while tho sky would be black
with the stars shluiug aa brightly In
the daytime as at ulsrlit
Furthermore as a most picturesque
feature of the spcctaclo wo should no
tice that some of the stars are red
others blue yet others violet and still
others green in color Of course all

our own system are burning suns
and the lines they wear depend upon
their temperature

Saved His Goldfish
When a Bavarian peasant treats him
self to a new hat he does not throw
the old hat- away lie just puts the
now hat on top of the old ono The
other day an amusing scene was wit
nessed at the Munich railway station
A peasant who had bought a new hat
and a bowl containing several goldfish
found himself hustled by the crowd
surging at the entrance to one of tho
platforms In the crush the bowl was
broken and the fish fell out For a
moment the peasant knew not what to
do Suddenly he made up his mind
lie snatched his two hats from his
head and picking up the lively fish
he put them inside the old hat which
he then filled with water at tho near

What k means to encounter a water

Beatrice Grimshaw First of all a
black trunk like an elephants began
to feel blindly about in midair hang

nearer with uncanny speed drawing
up to itself as it came a colossal cone
of turbulent sea until the two joined
together in an enormous blsck pillar
some quarter of a mile broad at the
base and probably a good thousand
feet high uniting as it did the clouds
and the sea below Across the darken

crimson sunset came this gigantic ho

water in a veritable dance of death

Mr Gladstone dearly loved a joke
even at his own expense and he poc
i sessed considerable mimetic powers
lie was once guilty of an amusing
bull in a debate on the question of dis
establishment Dilating on the hold

the Church of England he said
When an Englishman wants to get
married to whom does he go To lae
parish priest When he wants his
child baptized to whom does he go
To the parish priest When lie wants
to get buried to whom does he go
The house answered with a roar of
laughter in which Mr Gladstone him
self joined adding As I was con
trasting the English church with the
Irish a bull is perhaps excusable
