His Savings.

A hOrny-handed workingman in
Meriden, whose wages have never been
over So a day, has saved $4,000 from
them, which he keeps at interest in the
savings bank. He must surely have
lived very closely; he must have been
mean toward his four children, three
girls and one boy; he must have cut
down his family supplies to a low notch
during the forty years in which he has
been laying by his riches. 1t is time
for us to say that we cannot hold him
up as an example to be followed by all
other wOrkingmen. 1t would not be
well for them to live as he must have
lived all his life. never enjoying half
a pint of peanuts or a saucer Of ice
cream, never giving any of his children
a stick Of candy or a doll, hardly ever
buying a new dress for his wife or a
suit Of clothes for himself, or a copy of
a Meriden newspaper. The word in
that household from morning till night.
at breakfast, dinner and supper, must
have been scrimp. He is surely a
stingy man, something like a skinflint,
or how could he have saved so much out
of his small wages? We can't say that
we admire his style.
1t is good for a Il to live pretty
well, if he car afford it, and to get the
best out of his money as he goes along.
always, of course, avoiding anything
like wastefulness, always practicing
economy. 1t is good for him to put some
money in the bank, if he can; but not
much more than he can spare. 1t is
right for one to feather his nest, but
wrong to stuff it so full of feathers hat
it's occupant cannot breathe freely.
Certainly, oh, certainly, you should
lay up something against a rainy day,
but still you need not squeeze all the
juice out of life, like the stingy SEA
day man of Mcriden.-New York Sun.

the wheels are made up of smokes.
huDs, rims, tires, spoke nipples, ball
valves, cups and cones, and the wash
ers hat g. with them. The frame is
composed of the diamOnd-shaped set of
tubes that join the wheels together,
the head through which runs the steer
ing tube, the real fork, the seat post
and the crank hanger. The steering
apparatus includes the handles, the
steering tube, the fork sides around
the front wheel, the fork crown and
the balls, cup and cones on which the
steering tubes turn. The running gear
takes in the pedals and crank which
operate on the sprocket wheels, the
chain which connects them and carries
the driving power and the ball bear
ings on which these things ~revolve.
The saddle is also a necessity which
properly belongs with the frame.
These are the minute parts of the
wheel. and each separate piece, wheth-
er big or little, requires separate hand
ling many times before it finally en-
ters into the makeup Of a complete
wheel. Each piece passes through nu-
merOus hands before it is finished, each
person who handles it taking it a little
nearer completion.
In making the rims for wheels. for
instance, the workman finds his mate
rial in Il sheet Of steel four feet broad,
perhaps, and twenty feet long. He
puts it into a cutter that rips it into
proper widths and then cuts it to requi-
site lengths. From there each piece is
sent through a machine that bends it
into circular form and on through 9TH
ers that turn up the edges into cOncave
shape to hold the rubber tire. When
that is done the two ends are braZed
together, holes are drilled for the
spokes and the rim is complete except
for the nickeling and polishing. The
spoke, spoke nipples, hub and washers
are all handled separately.
With the new method of making the
frames comes the greatest reduction in
the weight of wheels. Instead Of using
small bars of solid steel, as formerly,
lighter hollow steel tubing is employed.
This lessons the weight without sacrific-
ing the strength, for a tube of steel is
said to be stronger than a solid of the
same weight. In making the joints, too,
there is a great saving of weight. In
stead of the old heavy castings and re-
Inducements, the joints are now braz-

Kitchens in the Tropics.

The kitchens Of tropical countries,
such as are to be found in our Spanish
American lands, are like cells, from the
thickness Of the stone walls-often two
or three feet deep-and the projecting,
omnipresent veranda, which gives Il
grateful shade, and which looks out On
a court. The cell resemblance is en-
HANGED by the iron bars ut the windows
and the heavy double doors, which look
as if they could resist a siege. The walls
are whitewashed and the floors are Of
tiles. The dining-room is often separ-
ated from this room by a long stair

"NOW / Hear You"

Father O'Halloran had a telephone
put into the parsonage in connection
with the church, the parochial school,
etc. Patrick McFee, his reverence's
handy man, was instructed in the use
of the instrument, and it was only the
next day when Pat, busting out the
church, heard the clatter Of the tele-
phone bell. Taking down the receiver,
he vas pleased to hear Father O'Hal-
loran's familiar voice asking him
thing or other about his work. Pat,
in essaying to answer, remembered that
his reverence was a long way off, and
Pat consequently nalloOed into the
transmitter at the top of his voice. 81

the telephone. Pat tried again, but
with no better success. On his third
trial, he came near splitting the tele-
phone; but again came Father O'Hal-
loran's voice, II can't hear what you
are saying, Patrick" Pat had by this
time lost something of his patience, and
as he stood gathering breath for a
fourth blast he couldn't refrain from
s~oliloquizing in Il low tone, "Ah! may
the divil fly away wild the Ould fool"
But Pat dropped the telephone like a
hot potato and fell to his knees in dis
may, when he heard Father O'Hallo-
rams voice once again, "Now l hear you
perfectly, Patrick."-Boston Evening

Notwithstanding the glory of their in
FAINT days. The first White House
baby was a girl, and made her debut
during the far away reign of Jackson,
back in 1880. There was Il space of
siXty-three years between the first and
the last White House baby. Who was
the first? She was the daughter Of
President Jackson's niece, who was the
wife of Andrew Jackson Donaldson.
This latter gentleman was the Thurber
of his day, and performed as Jackson's
private secretary. Mrs. Donaldson,
JackSon'S niece, not yet 20, came with
her uncle to the White House to preside
as it's mistress. The first White House
baby, Baby Donaldson. grew up and
married a Mississippi gentleman-once
in Congress-named Wilcox. Gen. Will
cox has now been dead full thirty years,
and Mrs. Wilcox. who was the first
baby to try the White House as a place
wherein to be born, has, since Grants
time, been a clerk in the Treasury De-
partment. The first White House baby
is an old gray lady now, and the day
Baby Esther Cleveland was born, she
was busy at her desk in the treasury,
not 100 yards from the last baby's
cradle.
Yet the first baby has witnessed
much of the world. Her father. Don
aldson. following his term rs Jackson's
private secretary, was ut various Eu-
ropean courts as Minister. He came
home to plunge into politics, and once
ran for the Vice Presidency. But wheth-

is considerably over that of the ordinary
floor, but in view of the fact that tough
ened glass is so much longer lived than
wood, the experiment is likely to prove
cheaper in the long run.

Some of the Machinery Used.

A great deal Of machinery used is au-
tomato, and can be operated by boys
ami girls. The making Of oil cups, for
instance, and the many nuts and rivets
used in a wheel is done by machines
that bite off pieces of steel, turn them
about Il few times on automatic lathes.
and then throw them out finished and
complete. Sprockct wheels are made
in this way. First they are cut in circu-
lar form from Il plate of steel by Il
heavy drop hammer, then strung to-
gether in lots Of Il dozen or more in q
machine whose teeth cat out spaces in
the rims and make the nOtches, one
row at Il time. on which the propeliing
chain ;lIrns. Saddles are first cut out
of BIZ sidey Of leather, soaked ana put
through Il lot of forms, till they are
pressed into the proper shape. Most of
the work is done by girls. Putting the
sDokcs in hub and wheel is Il puZZling
job, which has been Well learned by Il
lot of boys. and they do it as well as
men. quitting tires in the rims is sim
ply q trick, too. but they tell you at the
factory they will give anyone a wheel
