MILL IMPROVEMENTS.

Lively Times for the Future More Than
Evidently Anticipated.
Mill owners have their hands more than
full of business at present, or anticipate
lively times for the future if the extensive
Improvements taking place at the mills is a
criterion. The Pennsylvania Tube Works
Company are spending over 100000 in re-
modelling their furnaces. The company has
decided to dispense with natural gas and
use the artificial article made on the premi-
ses. Each of the furnaces will have a
producer. Messrs. Swindell and Laughlin
are busy on the work.
Jones & Laughlin propose building
another furnace, in addition to the already
extensive plant. 1t will be of the same
size as the last one built, and will be ready
for operation about next May. The stock
house for the new furnace will occupy the
site of the old offices, which have been torn
down. The offices will be removed to the
house formerly occupied by the manager of
the plant The cost of the new equipment
is placed at 5000, 900.

SEVERE ON THE SPINE.

Opinions of Physicians on the subject of
Poorly Adjusted School Furniture "A
General Condemnation of the Methods
That Make Crook ed. Backed Children.
In an interview with DR.. J. c. Burgher
in reference to the eramped quarters for
the following opinion: Lateral curvature
of the spine is sure to ensue where pupil
is prevented from maintaining an easy, up-
right position. The scholar is forced to
cramp his body to accommodate himself to
low desks and little seats. As conse-
quence the organs of respiration are seri-
ously impeded in the proper performance OF
their functions, and the pupil suffers. The
desks and chairs should be exactly adjusted
to meet the requirements of each and every
pupil and admit Of free, unrestrained po-
sitlon. The body must be kept erect to per-
init full and deep breathing"
DIR. Dickson said: Childhood has a
natural tendency to maintain a healthy,
free-and-easy attitude, and every precaution
should be observed to encourage the good
work of nature instead of restricting the
movements Of school children within the
narrow limits of shortened and contracted
seats"
A prominent Fifth avenue physician COM
mented as follows: 1.-THE mental work of
the pupils severely taxes the nervous sys-
tenn, and every care should be taken to pre-
serve their strength, so far as their lie in
the schoolroom is concerned. It is abso-
lutely essential to the laws of good health
that they preserve natural posture at all
times. If compelled to cuddle up in box
like seat, they will contract fatal habit of
sitting crooked-backed all their lives"
DR.. c. c. Wvlie remarked: at is dan
gerous practice for children to occupy a
cramped desk for several hours at stretch,
day after day. Their physical strength is
seriously impaired. 1t makes it twice as
hard for them to study. and destroys the
pleasures of school life. Give them plenty
of room to draw long breath and rest their
limbs easily

ON THE SOUTHSIDE.
STILL A CHANCE FOR NEEDED REFORM
IN SCHOOL DESKS.

Crooked Legs and STOPPED shoulders the
Result. of Inattention on the Part of
school Bonrds-RuraI Schools Not All
Supplied With Proper Desks.
Dr. Brewster, Councilman from the
Twenty-ninth ward, Southside, and an e1-
School Director, said that the desks in the
Twenty-ninth ward schools were properly
graduated. When he was on the School
Board over s., 900 was invested in desks.
They are graded in size, from those for
children years old mp to those for the
largest scholars. Different sized desks are
in each room, so that no complaint on that
score could be made.
DR.. Brewster is fully aware of the evils
resulting from an inattention to proper
sized desks for school children. He says
that nothing could be more injurious than
having children sit at desks too high for
them, as is sometimes the case. Their
legs dangle over the edge of the seat and
the soft bones are injured and malforma-
tions and crooked legs may result In the
case of desks too low for child, the result
is stopped shoulders and other well-known
evil effects.
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Although, as general thing, the atten-
tion of school boards has been brought to the
matter of proper desks for pupils. and the
evil remedied, he thought that there was
still room for improvement in certain
schools. Unless the subject is stirred up
once in a while school boards are not
made aware that a change in the mode of
seating is necessary. He said it is a subject
that all wilr admit is Of prime Importance,
and every school board should know
whether the pupils are endangering their
health by improper desks or not.
Dr. E. A. Mundorff thought that there is
not much ground for complaint in Pitts
burg in regard to Door desks. However, in
many small towns adjacent to the city the
subject has not been looked into and i'm
proper desks are still in use.
VERY EVIDENT EVILS.
He said that the evils attending the use
of either too high or too low desks were so
evident to any thinking person, that it
seemed a wonder that any school board
would allow children to run the chances of
contracting stopped shoulder and their at
tendant evils, or crooked legs. However,
this is explained often by the matter not
having been brought to their attention, or
by false idea of economy.
A number of other persons were seen and
they nearly all voiced the sentiments of
those quoted. The question of need for
reform in the rural districts was brought
out strongly. Alderman Beinhauer said
that the matter was such an important one
that the State Superintendent should make
it his business to know whether proper
desks are needed or not. If he cannot find
time to do so, some means should be found
to accomplish that end.

"What do you mean?" exclaimed the
amazed clerk.
"Guess want to go on the train over to
Allegheny. How much?"
"What do you take me for? This is no
ticket office. Make room. please"
"Don't you sell tickets here for the train
that starts right away from here, and runs
like nothing down street, hitched onto a
wire?" asked the now equally puzzled in
quirer.
''No, we don't This is the postofice?"
"The postofiee! Be gosh, if L didn't
think you sold the tickets for that gol-
darned curious train" And the stranger
slouched out and tried to stop cable car by
getting his body in the way as it started up
hill.

It was easy to see where the principal
fault was. The desk and the seat were too
far removed from each other. The desk
should be ten inches nearer the seat to en-
able the pupil to sit comfortably erect and
use his desk without doubling up his body,
or requiring a long-range telescope to see
what was upon the desk.
The room would seat GA pupils, As the
reporter sat there it occurred to his mind
that q pupil had not many chances of
spending year at one of those desks and
coming through at the end as a pine tree.
The seats were the old-fashioned straight
back kind. resting on chunk of iron pipe.
The average age of the pupils in the room
would be between II and IA years.

BUT HE DIDN'T BUY 1T,
Although the Dealer Tried TO Convince
Him it Would be Economical.

There is clerk In the government service
who takes an interest in household matters. He
started out the other day to purchase a marble
slab. as such an article, he had been told is the
best thing possible on which to knead dough
for homemade bread. Thinking he might get
a cheap slab at marble yard he visited such
place.
''Oh yes," said the marble cutter, "here's
exactly what you want" producing a broken
tombstone that looked as il it might already
have been used to mark the grave of departed
citizen.
That's pretty good" said the intending
purchaser. How much is it?'
Seven dollars"
'Pretty steep price," thought the govern
ment clerk to himself.
Lets see the other side," he remarked to
the dealer.
The latter turned the stone over and the
customer read the inscription: Sacred to the
memory of Edward R."
Gracious goodness" he exclaimed, "that's
my name"
Then know can sell it to you," said the
dealer, who was sorry he had not asked a
higher price. 'You can knesd bread on the
stone until you die and then use it to mark
your grave"
But, notwithstanding the dealers delicate and
ingenious way of stating the advantages of his
offer. the clerk did not buy.
