He takes actual delight in bringing IL out

theoretically he goes to work calculating
distances.
We women are exceedingly sloppy in our
methods. We have tape measures, to be
sure, tucked away In the sewing machine
drawer, In the work basket or down in
one corner of our bag of patterns, but as
for being able to call it into use at a mo-
ment's notice, why. we never think OF such
a thing
Women will tread off a room so many
their brains over matters that a tape meas

Another manly trick that always strikes
the woman, who has thought about 1t, as
exceedingly funny Is the facility and the
felicity OF his paper and pencil moves. Ask
any way under the sun by which he can
drag into the query this same pencil in
it goes.
He is great on drawing plans. Gloats
not make head nor tail OF. Over the paper
moves the pencil. There are lines and cross
lines. The sketcher looks blissfully pleased
with himself while the fair looker-on wears
a puzzled expression to follow this penciled
lead. +
We women may be clever about some
things, but we have not yet learned to
manage a tape measure; neither, except In

Scale to Be Readiusted.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 29.-The Carnegie
Steel Company has posted notices in the
Homestead works to the effect that on
JAM 1 the scale for the coming year will
be readjusted. Prior to the strike of 1892
the scale expired in June, and this was one
of the points on which the strike was Bit
terly fought. The company commended that
it suited better to have the expiration near
the end of the year. When the contracts
for the year were being planned, after the
strike, that date was adopted by the COM
pany, and the men had to agree to 1t. n
proviso of the scale signing was that either
side was bound to give the other three
months notice of any desired change in
the scale. This the company has complied
with by posting the notices before Oct. L.
The workmen claim that the company is
not compelled to make a reduction, since
1t has all the work on hand that can be
handled-

TIN PLANTS CLOSED
ALL PLATE WORKS SHUT DOWN
FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD.
Employees Say 1t Is a Scheme to Force
q Reduction of Wages-Manufac-
tarers Fear Overproduction.

PITTSBURG, Sept 29.-To-night all the
tin-plate plants in the country closed down,
and there is no indication as to when they
will again be put in operation. There is a
wide difference between the manufacturers
and workers on the subject of wages, and
the latter insist that, Notwithstanding the
reduction Of the duty, the wages agreed
on in June can be paid for the remainder
Of the scale year.
Two important reasons are given for the
action taken by the manufacturers associa-
ton. One is that the closing of the fac
tories is being done TO discourage prospect
i've builders O.; tin-plate plants. There are
at least ten In course of erection in the
United States, while manufacturers of tin
plate machinery are enlarging their works.
1t was decided to put up some of these fac
tories after it was known that the cut in
the duty would be 1 cent per pound. An
other reason given by the manufacturers is
that. under Secretary Carlisle's ruling. 49,
10000 pounds of tin plate now in bond can
be put on the market Monday by paying
the new tariff of IL cents per pound. This
will ill all the demands for some time to
come. On the other hand, the workmen as
Sert that the shutdown is merely a scheme
of the manufacturers TO compel their en-
ployes to work for lower wages.
