The screwdriver is found not only in
The tool chest of every mechanic, but in
most houses, and in not few offices. II
ranks with the hammer, the saw, and axe
in general utility, and yet very few per-
sons know anything about how it should
be sharpened so as to do its work most
efficiently; that is, with the least expen.
diture of power aud the least injury to
the heads of screws.
In driving screw into the wood, the
force used to press the screwdriver against
the head of the screw tends to aid the lat.
ter in penetrating the wood; but when
we attempt to extract a screw, every
pound Of pressure that we apply tends
to render it more difficult to get the
screw out. 1t therefore becomes very
important that the screwdriver should
be SO formed that it may be kept in the
nick of the screw by the exertion Of
the very least degree of force, for if it has
any tendency to slip out, we can keep il
in place only by applying pressure, in
which case we run great risk of injuring
the nick and rendering it impossible ia
draw the screw.
If we examine b screwdriver in the
condition in which it is ordinarily found
we shall find that it presents section in
which the sides of the wedge, in which
NIL screwdrivers terminate, are curves
with the convex sides outward. Now,
the effect of thus curving the sides OF
this wedge is to render it greatly mort
obtuse. Moreover, when we turn the
Bcrewdriver, the tendency to slip out OF
the nick is just in proportion to the OBJ
tuseness or bluntness of the wedge, and,
therefore, this form is the very worst
that can be chosen. In the hands Of
most good workmen, therefore, we find
that the screwdriver ends in wedge, oil
which the sides are perfectly straight.
This is very good form, but is not
equal to form in which the sides of the
wedge are curves, but with the concave
sides turned outward. In this way
we lessen the obtuseness Of the wedge
Ut the extreme point, and produce turn.
screw which may be kept in the nick by
the least pressure endwise. To grind q
screwdriver into this form it is necessary
to use very small grindstone, and many
of the artificial stones found in the mar
ket answer admirably.

A NEW PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

Some time ago an article appeared in
the HERALD, suggesting that Demo
cratic headquarters for Southern Cali
fornia, taking its orders from the head
Office Of the Democratic state central
committee in San Francisco, but leaving
the details to be carried out under the
supervision of sub-executive commit
tee to be chosen from well known citi-
zens of this place, be established here.
Max Pepper, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, is in this
city, having come here for the veryspur-
pose of meeting some of our leading
Democrats in reference to the business
above detailed. All the necessary de-
tails have been formulated and the en-
gine will be set up in working orderin a
day or two more. This will greatly
simplify the work, of the campaign, 30
far as the southern counties are con-
cerned, and will operate benefcially in
a number of ways not to be enumerated
here. All the appointments for public
speakers, south of the Tehachipe pass
will be made here instead Of San Fran
cisco.
The visit of Mr.. Pepper to this city
has been both pleasant and opportune.
The impression he has created here has
been favorable, both to himself and the
cause he represents. Arriving in this
state during his boyhood, nearly thirty
five years ago, he is thoroughly familiar
with California's political history and
fully alive to all the requirements of his
position. Mr.. Pepper is man who
carries good front, being dignified
without the slightest approach to AFRO
gance. We are glad he came down here
to look the ground over, for the Demo-
CT acy is beginning to profit by his visit.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LAND CO.,
Adjoining First National Bank Los Angeles Cal

trenched throughout all the land. Yon-
der, in the Keystone state of Pennsyl-
vania, it has become possible for Scotch
baron to accumulate $40, 900, 900 in TWEEN
ty-five years. 1t has become possible
for him to erect Notifications around his
ill-gotten gain and to have it protected
by the militia" And the way that Mrs.
Lease scorched the militia was simply
caution. Her remarks were loudly ap-
plauded. When Mrs. Lease reached the
subject of woman suffrage she made
an able defense of the theory
that the mothers of the nation
should be placed on an equality
with the fathers. Every vexed problem
ofthe day, she said, would be settled by
the ballot, and without revolution or
force. The conflict was one to lift the
chains of industrial slavery from 49,
10000 laboring men.
In closing the lady made an appeal
for funds. She invited someone to hit
her on the head with a silver dollar,
and the endeayor was numerously made.
For several minutes there was perfect
rain of dollars as they fell upon the
platform. About $400 was raised. This
taking of collection had the effect of
emptying the hall in five minutes.

Our earnest requests are to the effect
that Shylock should no longer be put
down, or held up, just as you like, for
the model OF all that is stingy and
misery. A San Francisco money lender
has just recovered judgment against a
debtor for $73S, of which $125 repre-
sented the principal of the debt, and
$6l3 the interest. This reminds US of
the Irishman, who was witness on the
trial of man for stealing three pieces
of lumber. When asked for the dimen-
sions Of the timber, Pat said: eyer
honor, know all about thin boords.
They wor twinty inches long, sor, an
they wor sixstheen feet woide." The
judge who gave the above Judgment pro-
nounced it an outrage. If 80, why did
he give it? He was not elected for the
purpose of committing outrages.

ONE Of the things that we do not like
to see is the way in which men OF
acceptedly good reputation, marry
widow women and then shirk their
parental responsibilities. A case in
point is that of Mabel Cummings, step
daughter of Edison Smith, OF San Ber-
nardino. The girls mother is dead and
her step-father is getting ready to get
married some more, 60 he has had the
girl sent to the reform school at Whit
tier, to be herded with thieves and pros
titutes. Her age is thirteen years.
