Machinery and Industrial Life.

Industrial life of today compared to what it was twenty-five years ago can but excite surprise and wonder. The introduction of labor saving machinery has, within this short time, wrought an almost complete revolution in all the activities belonging to production and transportation; and on every hand in the country as we'll as in the city ma chinery Is found seconding. or alto gether supplanting, physical toll. and making 1t possible to accomplish in a few hours what formerly would have required days and weeks of labor
 In the professions the impress of the revolution is perhaps less noted than in other vacations, but even here the Ia borious work of the pen has almost been superseded by the little type writer, that merrily clicks of folios ol manuscript. If copies of the neatly printed pages are desired, it is, with the aid of the letterpress, but the work oi a few moments, or if duplicates are re quired, the hectograph is at hand to make any number of copies. An add ing machine" handles figures as if by magic.
 Indirectly, machinery has made the acquisition of knowledge an ease and pleasure in producing wealth of cheap books, embracing every conceivable subject so arranged as to admit oi ready reference. thus saving weary hours of research and enabling the in tellectual toiler to accomplish in hour. what formerly neoessitated days.

Mans Idea of a Woman's Club.

It is unfortunate, perhaps. but it is really true that to the untutored mind the word Sorosis brings up a vision of stayless, short haired ladies. with profound intellects and dress reform garments that usually set more ol less awry about the waist, discussing such subjects as ''The Improvement of the Economic Condition of the Race. which was touched upon al one meeting Sorosis never "frivols It is dignified and grave, as befits all association that has the advancement of woman forever on it's mind
 It unbends little at its banquets it has then to lower its intellect to the level of it's guests, but even then there IS flavor of woman's suffrage in the chicken salad. the croquettes taste of learned disquisitions, and after the feast, l have heard ii vouched for, the pillows of the par takers are haunted by horrid dreams of woman's oppression in the Dark Ages. But l suppose it can hardly be otherwise than that the merTiest mo ments should be tempered with a cer tain gravity to those who have con stantly on their minds the welfare ot Woman and Posterity-with capital letters.

 A Feathered Meteorologist That win
 Have a Rosewood Perch.
 Some days ago the daughter of an old board of trader who lives in one of those castlelike residences far south on Prairie avenue satisfied passing whim by purchasing parrot. Now. her ia ther is a man of very few words. but this fact went for nothing with the par rot. Before the green and yellow fea thered linguist had spent so much ns forty eight hours amid its new surround ings it proved itself able to outtalk the entire family.
 It demonstrated that it was one of those takers that insist on having the last and loudest word at night and the first and fiercest in the morning In fine, the bird was way up in his busi ness. He seemed to fully and thor oughly realize that he was born and bought to talk, and now his one pur pose in life was to fulfill his mission.
 The old board of trader is a kind. in dulgent father, but he is also one of the few men in this world who know when they have enough. Poll was too much.
 The daughter taught the bird to say and do many bright things. and among others to salute her father with "Ah, therel How'd you like the weather to- dayT This somehow proved an addi- tional irritation to the old gentleman, but nevertheless he tried to smile and look pleasant under it.
 After enduring the pet beast" for several days the indulgent parent tried to coax his daughter to let him take it down and exhibit it to the boys on change. Secretly his point was to lose the parrot en route. But no, the daughter was too familiar with the plucking propensities of her fathers as sociates to trust her sweet darling Poll" in the pits. Things ran on from bad to worse. until finally one day when the market had gone heavily against him-and that, too, on the strength of fake cable from Russia murder in his heart.
 Bolting into the house and past his wife and daughter without seeing them. he made straight for the conservatory. where perched the parrot. No sooner had he thrown open the door of the exotic retreat than the bird shrugged himself and cried: "Ah, therel How'd you like the market todayT
 "Blank youl" hissed the old man. and catching Poll by the legs he swung him round and round at arms length about his head score of times and then dropped him on the floor for dead.
 The daughter and mother having fol lowed the father on tiptoe stood speech less, gazing on the exhibition from be hind curtains.
 Presently the parrot began to show signs of recovery. He got upon his feet, wabbled to his pole. and after a dexterous use of his beak and taIons he gained his perch. Then looking about him in 8 dazed sort of way he shrieked. Gee whiz-how the wind blowsT'
 Reconciliation between father and daughter came about amid much laughter, and Poll gets a rosewood perch.-Chicago Tribune.

 The Old Year was quite grabbed about taking his departure and ma @ anite a bluster on Wednesday.

 The New Years ball under the aus pices of the U. M. E. club was social and financial success. Forty-five coup. les, from Canaan and the neighborinp towns took part in the dance. The music was furnished by Graney, and Mrs Griffin provided unexceptionable refreshments. It was most enjoyable affair, indeed, that company of young Celts would not fail to enjoy themselves under the circumstances, goes without saying. We shall not tell when they got home.

The Cook and Her Dreaa.

A woman may dress a turkey bet ter than she can dress her person; she may blend harmoniously into a sauce divers favors, and out of sim pie elements evolve triumphs of cul mary good taste in every sense of the phrase, and yet be herself a dismal, unwholesome looking object while en- gagged in the daily routine of duties. It seems to be an article of belief with many cooks that personal neg lect and a general air of untidiness are outward and visible signs of great culinary skill, the possessor of which talent is by them deemed exempt from the laws of neatness and order
 Their ideas on the subject of dress, however. are by no means lacking in defniteness, but unfortunately they are confined to the elaboration of toilets for high days and holidays, and the natural womanly wish to look well is perverted into desire for fnery as unsuitable as it Is himsy and flashy. Wages are freely spent on imitation splendors, and arrayed in sleazy silk or satin, glittering with jet, the head crowned with the very latest style of hat, the young woman sallies forth with the proud convic tion that she is quite the thing"
 In some such garb as this she often applies for a situation, never dream ing that she thereby imperils her chances of obtaining good home, so much does her attire repel the sen sible housekeeper, who. by repeated experience, has learned that tinery covers d multitude of sins of omission and that almost certainly there is scarcely decent change of under clothing or a whole calico gown among the belongings of the gayly dressed applicant.
 There are exceptions, of course and memory dwells fondly on the merits of an excellent cook who joined to her skill the rare virtue of appropriate, even tasteful, dressing while she was officially engaged The neat print gown, the glossy hair and bright face and the cheerful readi ness to do her very best made visits to the kitchen most attractive. and it was easy to overlook the want of taste and judgment which governed her choice of Sunday toilets. liar per's Bazar.

German Enterprise.

To judge from 8 story coming from Germany and related in the Independ- ent, the subjects of the effete despotisms of the Old World have little to learn from the sharpers of our young and wig orous republic. Some men in Bavaria damned up small stream and con- ducted the water by an underground channel to an excavation at the foot of the hill Iu the excavation were placed minerals and stones covered with sand. A scientific opinion was then obtained to the effect that it was a valuable iodine spring. It was then so advertised un. der the name of the Kaiser Spring" and had begun to pay handsome prof it on the investment.

A Great Cataract in Labrador.

We think it is not generally known that in the wilds of Labrador, on the Hamilton or Grand river, there is a waterfall su,p .ssing Niagara in height by 152 feet, though inferior in every other respect The height IS 3l6 feet and the volume of water falls with such force into the abyss as to make the earth tremble. The column of spray can be seen for miles. The falls have only been visited by very few white men, and the Indians never go near them, as ing to spiritual influences.
