Boston, Feb. l6.-lt was a dull day
at the state house. There were many
hearings assigned upon various topics,

day to be devoted in the public schools TO
exercises relating TO the history, purposes
or principles Of those who settled and
founded the commonwealth.

illustrate my point. The same can be
said concerning the training of the

women's work that it is unnecessary TO

left hand is concerned men are in no
better condition than women. Men and
women are in this respect MANNED and

age of manual training, should we over
look and neglect the education of the

Mrs. RomneY,s Water Cooler.

The Colorado journalist, Mrs. Rom
ney, has patented, among several other
articles, a water cooler which does not
require ice. 1t is covered receptacle,
Of cellular brickware, manufactured of
clay, sawdust and asbestus fiber. In
the process the sawdust is burned out,
leaving the product cellular, or porous.
The receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in n tray Of
galvanized iron, which holds water to q
depth of two or three inches. By reason
of the porosity Of the cooler and the force
of capillary attraction, the water in
the tray constantly rises through the
cellular walls Of the receptacle, and is
as constantly aporated-thereby keep
ing the water inside as cool as 1t is usu-
ally drawn from we'll or spring. Den

Soft Worda.

One Of the most curious of current
beliefs is that of hypocrisy lurking in
pleasant manners and sincerity in those
that are rough or stern. 1t seems a
relic of our Puritan forefathers, but it
certainly is out Of place today. One is
foolish, or very innocent, to give heed
to more than the letter of society cour-
tesies. But, on the other hand, the
wish to please is good sign in itself,
and the willingness to hurt, by word
as well as by deed, is bad sign in it.
self. Selfshness is, far more than hy-
pocrisy even, usual failing. And
there is small hope for the habitually
self absorbed rough speaker, while there
is always chance that the soft manner
may sink into the heart. To those who
tell us that soft words butter no pars-
nips, we may retort, oil IS also better
for wig than vinegar. If proverbs
mean anything, it is because there is
one for every side Of question. .-Ex-

ers" of dry goods. Before the door were
hundred or more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings, but showing that
they were destined for firm in Texas,
doing business in u town near the Mex
lean line.
"Do you know" asked my compan-
ion, why those goods are put up in
such small packages?"
Upon replying in the negative he con-
tinued: "Thev are to be smuggled across
the Mexican line. The goods are pur-
chased in their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and baled. Each
bale contains about 80 pieces, or half the
number of an ordinary dry goods case.
THE goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed. When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
are slung across the backs of mules,
two bales to each animal, and with an
armed escort the train proceeds over the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico, where the goods are sold to Mex
ican traders at good profit.
Smuggling in this manner is quite

When this had been communicated to
