printer under the Harrison admins
tration. He says: 81 am not a spoils-
man in the strict sense of that word,
although l believe that the political
party placed in powe- by the people
should dominate the affairs of every
administration. While l am not a
spokesman, l am at the same time OPP
posed to the application of the civil
service law to the government printing
office. 1 think it is absurd to require
printers and bookbinders to pass school
boy examinations. 1t is also the height
of folly to require laborers and
skilled workmen in the various
branches of the printing office to pass
civil service examinations. The civil
service commission knows nothing
about the printing office, and certainly
has but faint conception of the ad=
ministration of the Office of the public
printer, with his 5000 assistants.
Therefore think that appointments to
the government printing office should
be made solely upon the Judgment of
the public printer, as to their fitness
and character. Under existing civil
service rules it is not possible for the
public printer to select his assistants
for the most important positions in the
Office. Only old men, who served in the
union army, are given preference over
school boys"
Every member of the printers craft
in the country who is connected with
any department of the "art perservativc
of all arts" should insist that one of the
noblest temples on the globe be erected
at the capital of the American republic,
which would serve not only the purpose
of practical workshop, from which to
issue all the public printing, but as a
stately monument to that noble art
which more than any other has contrib
uted to the advancement and progress
of humanity.
Its site should be on lofty elevation,
above the possibility of flood or damp.

The practice of wrapping each loaf of
bread in oiled paper when it is taken
from the oven and sealing the knot OF
the string holding the paper, as is done
in few first-class shops on the other
side, is desirable for protecting bread
when the loaf has to be handled many
times in the process of delivery. The
bread is protected from dust and hand
ling as well as the possibility of bacilli,
and the paper prevents the moisture in
the bread from escaping and keeps the
bread fresh,

WOMAN AND HOME.
TEACH THEM EARLY.
Children Should lie Made to Under
stand the Value of Money.

children Should he Made TO Under
stand the Value of Money.
One of the most serious problems
that meets us in life is that of the
proper use of money. Profess indif-
ference to it as we may, it is the great
factor in human existence, without
which, at the present day, nothing can
go on.
1t seems curious that, in the face of
social matters as we find them, no more
attention is paid to teaching children
the value of money. How much misery
would be saved were this little precau-
ton takenl A father dies, and sudden
ly family accustomed to live at the
rate of a thousand year, discovers
that there is little or nothing left for
them.
If the boys and girls are so FORUM
ate as to procure positions that bring in
living income, how difficult do they
find it to live on the amount, simply
because they have never been taught
the value of quarter. They have
had the use of an allowance as chill
dren, but no idea of it's expenditure
has ever been given them. When they
ran short and required more than they
had for some coveted pleasure they
supplied the deficiency by borrowin ing
of more careful relative, promising
to pay on next allowance day, thus es-
tahlishing bad precedent.
Children should not be taught to be
niggardly,. but if a sufficient income is
allowed them, they should be taught
to make it sufficient. They should be
taught to reflect before spending their
money, so that it may not all go for
tatfy the first week, leaving long
blank of days when the glories of mar
bles, kites and other toys brighten in
proportion to the impossibility to OBJ
tain them unless some obliging relative
makes a loan.
a girl should know the proper use of
her income as well as should boy, and
boy should be taught to scorn as un-
manly and unworthy "a squire of
DANES" borrowing for his own amuse-
ments money which his more careful
sister has saved. To do otherwise, is
to permit him a selfishness which may
develop into a carelessness of the feel
inge of others particularly the women
of his family, be it wife, mother or sis
teri, so long as his own wants are sup
piled.
Money and its handling is the key
note to the human character, there fore
to its spending should more serious
thought be given than has hitherto
been universally considered necessary.

dies World.

good to any part of the body to which it
is applied, developing or reducing as
desired. The inventor does not state
whether there are any better results to
be obtained from the use of the gold
cure than the silver cure, but it may
be inferred that the roller which
brings the most money into his pocket
is possessed of far better properties in
all sorts of disorders. AT any rate 1t is
a very pretty addition to the toilet
table.-Chicago Tribune.

NEW MASSAGE ROLLER.
Electric Benutiner Removes Wrin-
LIeN md DIemiHheH.

A new beautifier which is warranted
to produce a perfect complexion, re-
moving wrinkles and all facial blem-
ishes, is an electric massage roller.
This roller is ready for use at any time
and does not require recharging. 1t is
formed like the blotter rollers and
used in the same way. 1t is far more
ornamental than any device yet pro-
duced for a similar purpose, being
furnished in silver and gold. 1t is said
to be most effectual in building up the
muscles and tissues as well as reducing
unsightly corpulence. Its work is not
confined to the face alone, but will do

Fun ON The BICYCLE.
The GymkhRnn In Rare Sport foK
SISillfuI Woman Riders.


The gymkhana is sort of bicycle
tournament that English women, and
men, too, began to indulge year or
two ago. The word is Indian, and i'm
plies our idea of circus. The feats
of the "gymkhana" can be performed
in the open or'in large hall. 1t is not
warm fun for scorcher. 1t is a grace
full and temperate sport, more like
quadrille than handicap.
The men taking part may wear white
knickerbockers, red coats, red and
white jockey caps, red stockings and
white shoes, the girls white duck
skirts, red and white striped shirt
waists, red leather belt, white sailor
hat with red band, red stockings and
white shoes. To carry out the effect
the costumes should be identical.
The entertainment opens With an
overture by the band, followed by a
rusical ride by 16 ladies and gentle
men, mounted on wheels, which have
been decorated with red and white rib
bons. They circle slowly around the
hall once, then down the center in twos,

mornin' we started I'd ruther of taken
anyone else but Tenderfoot, for he was
Ioollin' kinder done out. But the others
were busy an l couldn't go alone. The
ponies were fresh an the air sweet with
the perfume of the flowers. | kept my
eye on Tendcrfoot, for / saw he was
dreamin' again. A queer look used to
come over his face sometimes an he
would shut his teeth hard, as though
he WAS tryin' to keep somethin' back
Soon the sun shot up over the edge of
the prairie. Then he turned in his sad
die, an said:
"Jake, I'm glad you took me with
you, for there's something want to tell
you. This is my last trip. I'm going
east when we get back to the ranch"
''Well," l says, 'tyou amt so we'll

at isn't that. But somebody love is
waiting for me beyond that edge of
light yonder, and I'm going back to
her"
"Your mother?"
"No; another woman"
1t was most noon now, an we were
;gcttin' out of the grass land into the
sage near the alkali. The glare of the
sun was awful an the water in the cans
hnngin' to the saddles was gettin' hot.
But we pulled our hats down over our
eyes an keepin' the ponies heads due
ner was tied with lot of other stuff
to Tenderfoot's saddle. Pretty soon he
says to me:
"Jake, what's in the bundle?"
Powder for Warner who is blastin'

''Why didn't you tell me! It's danger
GUS work carrying it out in the open
under a sun like this. Where did you
get it?"
"Michals on the stage gave it to me
yesterday. I've taken it fore. Give it
10 me if you're scared"
NO" he says, kinder slow; "you
ought to know if you have done it be-
fore. I'll keep it right here"
Then he got to dreamin' again. Twas
gettin' tired of waitin' for him to tell
me what he promised, but didn't like to
speak up an bring it bout. When twi-
light came over the Humboldt hills, five
miles off, we halted. l built a great
'smudge to keep way the flies an mos
quitoes, an Tenderfoot got the supper.
Then we lit our pipes. We had to wait
for the moon to rise lore we could push
ON. The wind began blowin' pretty
hard an Tende11foots pony was runnin'
loose bout 100 feet from him with the
bundle still tied to the saddle. Once /
got up TO take it off-but there wasn't
any danger. I'd taken the stuff fore.
But it wouldn't take much. A spark
from the smudge!
"Jake."
Tenderfoot had emptied his pipe an
was sittin on tine other side of the fire,
his eyes lookin' into mine.

night went home worse than ever. She
met me at the door, her eyes all red with
crying, and says: "A woman can't put

L staked the home and lost that, too.
Then, Jake, l put her fathers name on
