FRUGALITY VS. PROFLIGACY V i Some people are afraid to be thought frugal, preferring to be thought "good fellows" rather than sensible fellows. They are afraid of being called "stingy." There is a diffenence. Frugality means nothing more than horse sense applied to one's earning and expeditures. The man who spends a little less than he earns is on the road to success. He who spends more than he earns is on the road to failure. The way to save is to acquire the habit of saving.

TOWNE Copyright. 1910. by American Press Association. The border line between Italy and Switzerland in several places crosses those beautiful lakes of northern Italy which are the resort of people from all over the world. The Italian cus toms officers are constantly on the alert to intercept smugglers. One evening a postman was climbing one of the steep mountain roads that lead up toward the border line when he wus accosted by a man with a stub ble beard and small, cunning eyes. "Anything for Antoine Cavalleri?" he asked of the postman. The postman took a package of let ters from his bag and looked over their superscriptions. "Nothing for Cavalleri," he said and was about to return the letters to the bag when the man made a grab for one of them, seized it and ran away with it. The postman was at a disad vantage. His letter bug was so heavy that he could not hope to catch the letter thief while It was strapped to his back, and he dare not lay it down. He would not risk a large number of letters to recover one. He hurled a stone after the thief to vent his ire and kept on his way. ' He had not gone far before, he met a young girl com ing down to meet him. X"A letter for me today, Luigi?" "Yes; there is one, I believe." He looked over the letters, but found none for the girl. "I was sure there was one," he said. Then he stopped and thought, saying half to himself and half to her. "I wonder if that was the letter the rascal robbed me of?" He was looking at his companion and saw that she paled. "Have you been robbed of a letter?" she asked quickly. "Yes." "By a thickset man with a short beard and eyes like a snake's?" "The same. He asked for a letter for Antoine Cavalleri, and while I was looking over the lot made a grab for one and ran away with it. But what is it, Marie?" "Oh. Luigi. Giovanni and bis friends will be taken! The man who stole the letter was a customs official. It con tains the hour and the place where they are tonight to run some goods over the border. This letter was ad dressed to me to deceive the revenue officers. This man has been told that I am the medium between the Swiss and Italian bands who are acting to gether Giovanni and his friend col lecting the goods in Switzerland and turning them pver to the Italians, who run them across the lake. Giovanni sent it to me to deliver to Toni." "But is' there not time to warn them?" "I don't know where either party is or the trysting place. That is given in the letter. Which way did he go?" "He took the valley road up the mountain." "I will go and seek him myself. He knows that a girl named Marie Polini is the go-between for these letters, but he has never seen me." An hour later the letter thief was sit ting under un arbor outside an Italian iuu drinking a glass of wine and smok- iug a cigarette. Marie, who was ascend ing the road, saw him. and. taking a byroad all roads in that country run between high stone walls she entered the inn unseen by a back door. She knew well the people who lived there; they were friendly to her and the smugglers indeed, friendly to any one who is interested in getting a living out of the two sources of income open to impoverished Italians, the govern ment and Americans, though the now of coin is usually to the government, while it is always from the Americans. She told them the story and her pur pose. Going out to the official, she said, with a smile: "Did the senore call for more wine?" "I did not. but if so pretty a maid will drink it with me I will have a liter." The girl brought the wine and mod estly stood till the man asked her to be seated; then, showing her white teeth in a smile and darting her Ital- i ian black eyes at him. she took the glass of wine he poured- for her and sipped it. The customs officer drain ed his own glass and refilled it. A knowledge of drugs that wiil kill or stupefy - has been handed down among the Italians since the days of the Borgias. Before bringing the wine I Marie had slipped a powder into it. and the man had scarcely drunk when his eyes grew heavy. They closed, and. the pretty face of Marie, which now wore a smile of triumph, faded before him. As soon as be became uncon scious she unbuttoned his cout. took the letter he had stolen from the post man, looked ut the superscription' and. seeing that it was for her. opened and read It. Taking up the bottle containing the balance of the wine, she poured it on the ground, them, leaving the officer to sleep off the effect of the drug she hud given him sturted up the moun tain. It was growing dark when she Came Uhii a man leaning on a stone wall, looking or pretending to took down upon a water course far below. As soon as he saw the girl his face brightened. " "Marie." he exclaimed, "what has delayed you?" "That has delayed me which would hare led to your capture tonight." And she told him what had happened. "Ah. Marie," he exclaimed, embrac ing her. "how could we get on witn- your" v THE ANGLE OF REPOSE. Dept"it Wholly on the Friction of the - Materials In Contact. The angle of repose is a well known term in the science of mechanics, but. besides being used in purely theoret ical problems, is taken into account by railroad and other engineers. Suppose that we take a brick and lay it on a board and then gradually raise one end of the board. There will be a cer tain angle reached in time where the brick will not remain at rest on the board, but will start to slide down. This is termed the angle of repose of the brick on the board. It is at that point where the component of force due to gravity overcomes the resist ance due to friction between the two surfaces. Therefore the angle de pends entirely on the friction. Fric tion varies with the materials in con tact. So the angle of repose of a brick on a pine board would be different than its angle of repose on an iron board, say. Now for the application of this in ordinary life. When a railroad cut has to be made the sides have to be suffi ciently slanting to keep the earth qr clay from caving in. The same ap plies when a ditch is dug or when for tifications are built in time of war. The angle .necessary for this is of course the angle of repose of the par ticular kind of material through which the cut is made as measured by itself on itself, as it contains millions of in dividual particles in contact. The an gle in this instance is determined .with utmost ease and simplicity. A pile of the material is put into nb open cylin der, packed down slightly, and the cyl inder is then removed. Of course the pile immediately slumps down into a mound with slanting sides, the angle of which is the one wanted. .- This an gle is somewhat smaller than the one that would be taken by compact earth and therefore allows a good margin of safety. There are tables got out for the en gineer to refer to. but it is- always wiser to make a trial for every par ticular condition of the soil, for there are hardly two cuts made through ex actly the same kinds of material in exactly the same condition. Chicago Record-Herald. BAIT FOR SARDINES. Bretons Coax the Tiny Fish With Salted Eggs of the Cod. Sardine hsbiug forms the chief in dustry of Brittany. In an average season the Brittany sardine fisher men catch 100.000.000 to 150.000.000 pounds of sardines, for which they receive anything from 300.000 to 000.000. while the shore industries de pendent upon this fishery give em ployment to 20.000 other persons, most ly women and girls. So important is the sardine that in many communities in Brittany every person is directly or indirectly supported by it. and the fail ure " of the fish to come means ,ruin, starvation and death to many people in the more isolated places. Sardines are found on the coast of Brittany throughout the year, but nourish in greater abundance In sum mer and autumn. As niany as 100, CC0 have been, taken at one time in one net from one school. One remark able feature of sardine fishing in Brit tany is the enormous amount of. bait which is used. The bait in general use is the salted eggs of the codfish, and it is estimated that the Breton fishermen pay 70.000 every year to Norway for cod roe for use as bait. The casting of the bait, on the prop er use of which a great deal of the suc cess of tlit fishing depends. Is always done by the captain of the boat, who stands on a little platform in the stern and white directiug the movements, of the boat and the manipulation of the net throws the bait to attract the fish to the surface and around the boat When the fish are on one side of the. net or on the other his next move is to cast the. bait in such a way asS to cause tbem to rush against the net and thus become gil led. London Tit-Bits. Deaf as an Adder. The expression "deaf as an adder" is from the Psalms of David, where it appears in the following form: "Their poison is like the poison of serpents. They uie like the deaf adder that s'op peth her ear. which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely." Kust Indian travelers tell us that there is a widely prevailing su perstition in the east to the effect that both the viper and the asp stop their ears wlun the charmer is uttering his incantations or playing his music by turuing one ettr to the ground and twisting the point of the tail into the other.

' It is indispensably necessary in or der to preserve to .the largest degree our system of individualism that there should be effective and organized col lective action. The wage earners must act jointly, through the process of collective bargaining, in great in dustrial enterprises. Only thus can they be put upon a plane of economic equality with their corporate employ ers. Only thus is freedom of contract made a real thing and not a. mere le gal fiction. There are occasional oc cuparionM where this is not necessary; but, speaking broadly, It is necessary throughout thp great world of organ- -ized industry. 1 believe this practice of collective bargaining, effective only through such organizations as the trade unions, to have been one- of the most potent forces in the past century in promot ing the progress of the wage earners and in securing larger social progress for humanity. I believe in the princi ple of organized labor and in the prac tice of collective bargaining wherever there is organized capital on a large scale not merely as a desirable thing for, the wage earners, but as some thing which has been demonstrated to be essential in the long run to their permanent progress.

Union coal miners in Illinois will gain $4,000,000 annually under the new wage scale which the operators have agreed to pay after a five months' strike. The capitulation of the oper ators, is regarded as one of the great est victories ever won by the United Mine Workers of Americu. One concession granted the operators was a clause written into the contract providing that if mi agreement was reached at the termination of the pres ent contract three outside mediators should have a seat in rhe conference : The strike is estimated to have cost the miners $12,000,000 in -wages. The loss to the operators during the fire months' shutdown is placed at $15,-000,00a
