and suggested that the lady would be n
most attractive feature of the Califor-
mia showing II she could be induced To
work at her forge during part Of each
day Miss Beveridge consented and
will represent the blacksmiths Of the
state at Chicago,
She was found by San Francisco
Examiner man deep in the study of
problems in welding and forging over
her hot blast and anvil in the smithy
annex of the Cogswell polytechnic,
where she is learning the trade from In
structor Mathis. The iron-working
room was not clean; it was smutty and
full of pungent smoke. A score of an
wills were changing as sturdy youths
beat upon them, but Miss Beveridge
worked on as though all blacksmiths
were feminine and she was not the sole
practitioner in an art that might profit
ably engage many of the unemployed
women of the country.
She was fifty attired for her work.
Over her shoulders were uumistakablc
suspenders to distribute the weight of
her skirts and give her freedom of
movement Her sleeves were rolled
above her elbows and exposed arms
that were Drowned and sinewy An
ample apron of leather shielded the
wooden fabrics of her costume from
flying sparks of hot metal, and the only
suggestion of unfitness for the dust and
smoke was in a pair of dainty boots
which padded about the sloppy fooN
near her forge. as though they were
made for that purpose and not for a
drawing-room.
A dab of SCOT on her nose and sundry
smutches on her face and arms gave an
air of realism to the scene, and showed
the earnestness of the lady who could
forget her primness in her devotion to
blaclSsmithing. The forge fire was
troublesome because it was urged only
by n hand blast, while at the others
any desired strength of air current
could be maintained by merely opening
valve connecting with steam blower,
but Miss Beveridge did not mind

While hammering and shaping the
bits of iron on which she was
working the fire would almost die
out. Then to reheat her metal the lady
was compelled to turn the crank of her
blast engine until her fire glowed,
which caused loss of time and waste
of strength, but the labor was cheer
fully performed and the pleasure OF the
laborer was easily to be seen when the
proper treatment had fashioned some
part of the fancy forging just right and
had left the iron smooth as though the
skill of her master Mathis, had done
the work.
1t was no toy forge at which Miss
Beveridgc was engaged, but the kind
furnished for the use of mines, mills
and wherever frequent use of intense
heat is necessary, as IN the repointing
of drills and picks or the welding OF
tamping-bars and the doing of general
smithy work.

THE LAXATIVE GUM DROP.

When you feel out of sorts and your
dinner begins to distress you get box Of
the Laxative Gum Drops and you will
soon be relieved of your disagreeable SEN
sations. These Gum Drops are the finest
cathartic in the world for they contain moth
Ing deleterious so that they can be taken
at any time and in numbers according to
the constitution of the patient. With
some people two are sufficient, Others may
require from four to six but no matter how
many are taken, no i'll results will follow.
They are made of pure materials accord
ing to a regular official prescription so that
no danger results even when more are
taken. This renders them great remedy
for children. They taste like the ordinary
gum drop which they resemble in form so
that children need not know that they are
taking medicine at all. When they are
taken regularly they will produce the re-
quired effect even upon the most obstinate
case of constipation. Ask for them and
do not let the dealer give you any thing
else, for nothing else is half SO good.

each leg, feet inches from the points

MEASURES.
The handle is six inches.
Distance from points to bar, and from
bar to inner apex, four feet.
Right leg, five feet.
Left leg, five feet eight inches.
Linear measure of base, six feet.
And lastly, on either leg, yard

To manipulate this measure, both
points being lightly fixed in the
ground, lay the palm of the right hand
on. the highest point of the right leg,
encircling the handle with the thumb.
Place the right foot at the side Of the
right leg and commence walking by
striding out with the left leg, and at
the same time, which occurs intutitive-

leg of measure assumes an elevated
position, and then give the top SHOW

straight line as possible.
A few trials master the use of it,
which thus for every four steps meas
urcs twelve feet. A smaller person,
having to use such measure, might
lower the apex to suit himself, say tc
three feet six inches; but never leave it
out of view that the distance between
the two points must always be six
feet.
Irrespective of it's usefulness, it is
recommended to such persons who are
fond of exercise and sport, for it not
only forces to healthy, brisk walk,
but also to muscular use of the arm;
stimulates to precision, count Of swings

IMPROVED HORSE STALL.
One That is Said to Give Satisfaction IL
Every Way.


One That is Said to Give Satisfaction in
Every Way.
The value of clean, dry stall for the
family horses cannot be overestimated,
and all horse owners know the many
disadvantages arising from horses
standing upon plank floors. The COM
mon earth floor gives the stableman so
much work to keep the horse clean that
it has long since been condemned as too
dirty for good horse. After examin-
ing many stalls, have constructed one
that gives entire satisfaction in every
way. Its merit consists chiefly in it's
simplicity. In the center of the stall
large boz STALL dug pit eighteen
inches in diameter and three feet deep;
into this put cobble stones, the size Of
horses foot, until they reached the
top; then l placed three large, fiat
stones, which just filled the top of the
pit. A wagon load of ground limestone
was spread around the outer edge Of
the stall, and raked toward the center,
giving it gentle slope in this direc-
ton. Over this was spread two inches
of yellow clay, well tamped. The stall,
when thus completed, has the appear
ance of an oval dish, and carries all the
urine, from either horse or mare, to the
center of the stall and into the pit,
where it gradually soaks away into the
ground There is no opening in this
bottom of the pit, and, therefore, no
bad odor comes back into the stable,
as often occurs where a drain pipe is
used to carry off the urine. Another
advantage in this stall is the shape,
which more nearly fits the horse while
lying down, and requires less straw for
bedding. A tile drain from the pit
would be useful on farm, or wherever
the urine can be made available for
manure. American Agriculturist.
