A CURIOUS CUSTOM.
HOW Chicago Shoe Manufacturers Punis
Careless Workmen.

now chicago Shoe Manufacturers Punish
Careless Workmen.
"A curious but censurable custom OBJ
tains among the workmen in the large
boot and shoe factories, of which there
are many in Chicago" said friend to
me the other day in the course of con-
versation about boots and shoes. you
see, between the time they are cut out
from the skin and the time they are
ready to be packed, a pair of shoes
passes through the hands of over fifty
persons, each of whom does a certain
amount OF work on each shoe. A rack
holding sixty pairs OF shoes is filled up
by the workman, who performs the
first work done after leaving the cut
ter's hands, the rack being on rollers
is rolled to the next man, who does his
allotted work, and then passes it along
to the next This routine is followed
until the rack reaches the packing
room, where its contents are boxed for
shipment. Each and every work
man is obliged to act as de-
tective. and he eagerly scans
each boot, or shoe, as the case may be.
looking for defects or blemshes, such
as drop of backing on the white lin
ing, scratch on the uppers, faulty
stitch, OF in fact, any thing which spoils
the looks, but may in no way iniure
the wearing quality of the shoe.
Suppose workmen number eight finds
defect, he Immediately informs the
foreman, who charges workman
number seven with the retail price of
the pair. Number seven then calls a
boy. who, hat in hand, collects ten
cents from each workman he comes to,
until he has the exact price of the shoes,
which is turned over to the foreman in
payment for them. The boy keeps a
list of all who have dropped their dimes
into the hat, and out of the names on
the list, the ownership of the shoes is
decided by shaking dice. 1t seems to
me that firm that makes nine thou
sand pair of boots and shoes a week
aud makes also profit of sixty cents
on each pair, ought to stand the loss
by accident, or mt least it ought not to |
charge its men the full retail price,
as not over four or five damaged pair
will be found through the week. -

ALL ABOUT MUSTARD.
How the Seed Is Made to Furnish Oil al
Flour.

"Where does mustard come fromp"
replied a wholesale spice dealer to a
reporters inquiry. "Most everywhere.
1t is of two varieties. One is white
and the other is black. The first is
called English, and the other masque-
rades under score of other titles.
The English is full of flour, lacks pun
geney and is seldom used alone. The
other kind contains a large amount of
oil, said to average % to 80 per cent.
The best variety comes from Italy and
is known as Trieste. There are many
varieties of this kind grown in Califor-
mia, of every shade of quality; also in
other States. That known as Kentucky
is very pungent.
'Do farmers generally raise itp'
"1f they don't it is their own fault.
They can. 1t requires little or no cul.
tivation, but most of it is not worth
handling"
"How is it prepared"
Usually by COMPRISING the seed to
extract the oil because the seed is
much more easily worked when the oil
is out, and because there is now a
ready market for the oil as salad oil, it
being in many respects equal to the
best olive oil. To extract the oil re-
quires very powerful hydraulic pressure,
and suitable press would cost from
$1,000 to $4,000. Large dealers in the
principal cities operate in the seed or
crude stock and press it and supply the
trade with what is known as mustard
cake. formed by the process of ex-
tracing the oil, and which contains
every thing except the oil-the same
precisely as linseed cake. After this
the pressed seed is separated from the
bran to extract the flour. Pure mus
ard can not be ground in mills, and
unless it is very much adulterated it
can not be ground at all, on account of
the oil retained in the cake. The
usual process, therefore, is to take saw
100 pounds and put quantity of the
broken cake in pot or mortar and
pound and sift it so as to extract
lbout 90 per cent. The machinery
used for pounding the mustard is a
simple continuance, called sometimes a
stamp mill, being battery of Founders
ranging in number from two up to
sixteen. The process is slow but very
simple. After passing through the
Founders the mustard cake-now re-
luced to the consistency of soft mid
uings-is transferred to series of
'leVes, the fine falling into recepta-

Is strictly pure, and is as pure as it is
possible to make it from the stock YOU

bad.

female relatives handy constitute them

neglect his business to be present at
the ceremony. They all have to in
spect the child, comment upon it, and,
even if il is too young to understand
what is said, manage to get it into a
state of nervous fidgets before the
operator ever lays eyes upon it. If
the entire family think it is imperative

to enter the operating room with it.

''No attempt should be made to get
a child photographed in any but bright
weather. The middle of the day is the
best time for a sitting. Children
should always wear light-colored
frocks when sitting for pictures.
Light tones harmonic with their

would attire the little ones in suitable
colors and simple style. not make them
nervous before they reach the studio
and leave them entirely to the opera
tor after they are there. Grown peo-
pie would secure more satisfactory pic
lures of themselves, too, if they'd trust

less to their own. People ought to
think about the details of their dress
and hair arrangement before they come

more simple the attire and couture the
more pleasing and natural the picture.
Proofs should never be examined in
bright light, as they fade so rapidly.

send back two or three proofs with the

liable to be of the same shade when
they reach him. - Chicago Nea0s.

Hypnotic Experiments.

Certain of the French hypnotic spec
ialists have claimed to be able to pro-
duce all the effects which follow the
administration of any given drug by
simply placing a phial containing a
preparation of it in contact with the
skin of the hypnotized subject. The
French Academy of Medicine has lust
demolished this pretension, which, if
well founded, would involve as neces-
sary corollary the possibility of causing
death by poison without leaving any
trace of the toxic agent in the organ
ism. A committee of its members
specially appointed for the purpose,
recently attended to witness Il series
OF experiments conducted by Dr. Luys.
well-known hypnotist. Sixteen glass
tubes containing various drugs in So
luton or in powder, were employed,
and it is not denied that the external
application of the phials produced
more or less marked effects-muscular
contractions, congestive symptoms,
impaired respiration and the emotional
manifestations. But the committee
tailed to trace any correlation in the
majority of the cases between the
phenomena superinduced and the es-
tablished therapeutical properties of
the substances used. More than this,

as potent in determining the mani
festations as any of those previously

 Some of the natural woods of California and Oregon are coming into extensive use, both at home and abroad, for interior finish, the most valuable for this purpose being the redwood, the white cedar, the laurel and the sycamore The redwood takes the lead in this line, taking a good polish, and for gen. eral use, wear and staying qualities is alleged to have no superior in any forest in the world. The laurel is smooth, firm. beauti. fully figured and altogether a most desirable wood. The value of the sycamore as an or- namental wood has only quite recently be- come generally known, it's grain being much like that of the eastern birch, having waving lines close together, and as it is quite tough and strong it possesses superior value for ve- neering. The Oregon ash is of beauty and utility for decorative purposes, is figured with concentric curves and allows an attract i've polish. The maple of that State is also of beautiful appearance, light yellow in coler and surface covered with small wayy lines, of especial beauty in the gaslight.
