WORKING TO ADVANTAGE.
Labor Can BE Lightened BY Mixing I
With Brains.

Labor Can BE Lightened BY Mixing n
With Brains.
Every man can not do the higher
grades OF mental labor, and the hare
mental tasks Of the world must be per
formed by somebody.
Men and women whose lot has beer
cast among the hard manual laborers Of
the world should remem Der that thei,
tasks can be immeasurably lightened by
mixing them with thought. Study out
new and easier methods Of performing
the old tasks. Plan, contrive and ex.
pertinent. Thought applied to labo,
makes your work an art. 1t leads, too,
to more expeditions methods.
Forty years ago, every farmer raked
his hay with small mandrake, pokinQ
it together much as he drew up the soil
with a hoe around a hill OF pototoes.
Some one, who mixed brains with his
work, got q theory in his head that the
hay could be gathered together easie,
with large rake dragged behind the
worker on the ground. Hence bigger
rake was suggested, which performed
the work nearly four times as fast as the
old method. It did the work so easily
that the rake was called "loafer."
Soon it was suggested to somebody,
who mixed brains with his work and
made an art of labor, that if man could
drag big rake to advantage, a horse
could drag bigger one. In this way
the first horse rake was evolved. A
man walked behind and managed the
rake, and a boy rode and guided the
horse.
But there was still further opportuni.
ty for the man who mixed brains with
his work to tighten his task, and conse.
quently make his work still more pleas.
ant. Why not dispense with the boy,
he reasoned, and why should have this
laborious trouble of walking around be-.
hind the horse and turning over the
rake? will put this thing on wheels,
fasten seat astride the wheels, and
ride about my field and take my ease,
and, at the same time, rake my hay.
1t was in this way that the modern
horse-rake was evolved. In the same
manner all great inventions have been
brought about by men who mix BRAIN
with their work.-Yankee Blade

THE FATHER OF 81 CHILDREN.

"He knew more about the wood bust
ness than he did about printing and was
afraid that thirty-four children were
too many to get on such small card.
He would have the card made larger,
but he wanted it to hang across his
breast when he had his picture taken.
He was getting tolerably we'll along in
years, and some Of his neighbors
thought it would be good thing if he
would have his picture taken with this
card on his breast, to leave as proud
children.

in their best bib and tucker, except Doc.
Steele, who abhors collar. j. w. Thomp-
son was conceded to be the best dressed and
Alderman Garrett the best looking.
A little bird divulged the proceedings of
the executive session to The INDEPENDENT
reporter. He whispered that r. B. Smiths
nomination went through without dis
senting voice, but that the confirmation of
street commissioner did not run as
smoothly. Mr.. Bradford recommended G.
G. Stubbs for the position and presented
his address with a few complimentary re-
the council showed conclusively that ii
would not confirm the nomination, and in a
speech of regret that Mr.. Stubs could not
be agreed upon, he then presented the
name of MIR. Brady, who was confirmed.

Alderman Thompson was the first new
member to start into business. He presented
the plat of the Kenck addition to Helena
for the councils consideration, and on mo-
tion of Alderman Dunn the matter was re-
ferred to the committee on streets and al
leys.
There was lull in the proceedings which
was interrupted by Alderman Gallagher
who moved that the council go into execu-
tive session. The chamber was cleared and
the mysterious doings we're made public, at
least portion of them, in about ten min
utes when the doors were thrown open. All
interest was centered on knowing who
| would be city marshal, but that still re-
mains blank. The mayor then announced
| that the council had confirmed the ap-
pointment of Hon. r. B. Smith to be city
| street commissioner, and that was all.
"Is there any further business before the
meeting?" said the mayor. Mr.. Botkir
| then read a communication from all thu
members of the fire department requesting
that j. A. Wilmer be continued in the posi-
ton of fire marshal. The matter was re
ferred to the mayor, and on motion tn,
council adjourned subject to the call of tn.
mayor.

Street Sprinkling.

The damage to furniture, wearing ap-
parel stocks of goods and other perishable
commodities, yearly caused by the dust
nuisance. is difficult of computation. Ger
tain it is that measured by dollars and
cents, it is vastly greater than any expense
likely to be entailed for its aboli-
ton. It is one of those things
that are endured because it seems to be
the business of no one person to put stop
to it. l think it is time for a revolt on the
part of the suffering population and that
some machinery be put into motion for
abatement.
1t is doubtless within the power of the
council as sanitary measure to provide by
arrangement with the Consolidated Water
company supply of hydrants together
with necessary water and to sprinkle at
public expense the streets beyond thor
oughfares that lead to the depots, SO that
strangers will not meet with welcome SO

has been urged with considerable yigor and
is a measure of the greatest Importance.
The improvement of Helena avenue, of
Fuller avenue, Lawrence street and Placer
avenue, to a connection with the two de-
pots at their respective locations. is quite rs
essential. Previous to the Inauguration of
the work all sewer, water and gas connec-
lions should be made with each lot, and
where by ordinance street car tracks are
permitted. new rails of the fiange pattern
should be laid. After the completion of
the improvement strangers arriving at the
depots and being driven to tina centre,
would discover that they were in n
city. The rafting sounds of pass ing We
hicles insure noise which is of itself an
evidence of the fact. Machinery Adapted
to the purpose could be used to sweep mp
trash and dust. insuring economy in this
respect. As to the financial aspect, ~ cost.
