" in the boiler feed arrangements at tn
Woodland Furniture Works. A new pun
has been put in and new arrangement
made in the piping, by which nearly all
the condensed steam is fed back Into til
boiler at temperature very near the boi
ing point. The new arrangement hs
worked SO satisfactorily and with such sa'
ing that similar pump has been ordere
for the casket factory. Next week the fu

allowing such large part of them to get Ii

VIGOROUS. CRUSADE AGAINST PIE.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The board of
education of this town is about to de-
clare war upon the pie. Superintendent
Jasper, after prolonged investiga-
ton, has made UP his mind that the
pie habit is making inroads upon the
health of the public school children
and recommends a plan to break it
up.
Many of the children who lunch at
the Schools said he. don't bring their
lunches from their homes. but. instead
bring few pennies to buy it with
They are left, therefore, entirely TO
their own judgment. Their Judgment
runs to pie. They go out to the candy
store and bakeries and get a piece of
indigestible mince, custard, lemon or
pumpkin pie, and eat 1t usually without
any warm drink to stimulate diges-
ton"
The plan Of the superintendent is to
grant rights for the establishment of
lunch counters in the public school
buildings. at which hot soups and light.
digestible articles of diet will be sold
for nominal price. The board will
pass upon 1t at it's next meeting. and
will probably give a lunch counter

own affairs, in short. and leave His
business to~0Him." The most upright

One is always willing to read sketches
of travel in Spain. Should they be stu

style or thought, the names of SPANS
heroes and cities are the master words

H. C. Chatfield-Taylor, in THE Land
of the Castanet,'' is very unass inning,
and yet claims a higher aim than sim

1t is a picture Of the Spaniard rather
than Of Spain, and although the land
is a beautiful part of the picture, it is
simply background to the full-length

Prof. Windsor delivered an address
on the relation of phrenology to the
social question before a good-sized au-
dience at Assembly hall last Sunday
evening. He said that it was the duty
of every one to be made to feel I'M
comfortable until everybody was made
comfortable. Four hours a day is suf-
f1cient for any person TO work, and it
is criminal, he declared to allow chill
dren under sixteen years to perform
any labor whatsoever. He contended
that man ought to have q thorough
education guaranteed him by the state,
and that it should extend over a peri
Cd Of thirty wears, giving man an OPP
portunity to educate all his faculties
Some of the best writer's of the past
ages, the speaker said, WERE in a
measure, deprived Of power to enIight-
en- the d-by their genius by the
simple reason that they were dead
that because of this fact the world has
been deprived tof something that the
Creator intended we should enjoy a
fact that modern society regrets very
much. He declared that he had a
scheme whereby an ideal form Of gov
eminent ceuld be brought about in
this country in a short time. Louis
Nash presided over the meeting, and
Mr.. Pegley, Of the musicians union,
rendered a number of selections on the
enthusiasm in the appreciative audi
ence.
Assembly hall last evening contained more
disciples of the feed stick and overlap knife
than ever before in its history. The natural
sociability and love Of pure enjoyment over
came all other elements comprising the char
acueristics Of the average pressman- to- be
periodically. and the demonstration on this
occasion took the form OF a unique entertain
ment called a. tttnware social" The press
feeders and Job pressmen's union, which is
composed Of the happy fragment OF human
ity referred TO above, was to have installed
its newly elected officers last Thursday even

pating that event by one month, determined
