ity OF Many Thousand piecea.
Mangies in one form and another
have been used for hundreds Of years,
but the steam mangle OF the present
lay is essentially a modern machine.
Steam mangles are made of various
sizes, with rolls ranging In length from
As inches to 10 inches. One OF the rolls
Is Of hollow steel and heated with
steam. The auxiliary rolls are Of Iron.
covered with cotton cloth and blan-
kets or felting. Steam mangles are
made also with two hot rolls. In IrOn-
ing such things as sheets and table
cloths by hand 1t is customary 10 iron
one side only. Steam mangles with a
single hot roll iron in that manner;
with two hot rolls the steam mnngle
irons with a smooth finish on both
sides.
Mangles are used only for fat arti-
Giles; for things without buttons OF
buckles; for sheets and pillow cases,
table cloths and napkins. towels and
handkerchiefs. and 50 on. Mangles o!
the largest size will iron out hotels

napkins. they will iron four times as
many pieces in day.
From the washing machine the things
go TO an extractor to be dried. TIE ex

the moisture is whirled out by centrif
ugal action. From the extractor. jus

sheets are fed into the great ironin;
machine by two men, each holding ;
corner. There is fixed table. as loni
as the rolls, attached TO the machine oil
the other side; two men receive tn
sheet there and fold Ii. In ironing small
pieces like napkins and towels on sucl
n machine they would be fed in by
row of girls standing on one side ant
be received by another row of girls OF
the other side. On the largest machine
there would be six or eight girls ol
each side. American steam mangle
are used not only In this country. bu
they are sold In all the countries of Eu
rope as well.
A great many mangles are mad
with wood rolls of polished maple. Sue
mangles are sometimes operated b
power. but commonly by hand. The
are used in hotels and laundries an
restaurants. and for household worl

Dancing Birds.

One of the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa is party
of waltzing ostriches. Their queer an
tics have been described thus:
"When there are number OF them,
they will start off in the morning and
after running few hundred yards will
stop, and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefed or
perhaps break leg. The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched on level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling
The bird appears at this time SO absorb
ed in its occupation as to forget all tina

utters a cry. which sounds much lik
an effort to speak with the mouth shu

Aeelnr the sights.

Even In these days Of liberal educa-
ton young women sometimes show
how confused are the ideas shut up in
their heads. Illustrative Of this is the
naive blunder which Edmondo de
Amicis recounts in his story Of yoy-
age from Genoa to Buenos Ayres;
The captain OF the steamer which
numbered the charming young blum
derer among its passengers met her one
morning and said:
"Signorina, we cross the tropio OF
cancer today"
"Oh, indeedw she cried, with EN-
thusiasm. "Then we shall see some
thing at last. "

really startling in its proportions.
Tabulation after tabulation is given
showing the prices of the books prior
TO the adoption Of the State system,
those now obtaining in Oregon, Ari-
IONA. and Nevada, and those being
paid by parents in California at this
time, and the comparisons show saw
ing Of AZ Is per cent in favor Of the
California State series
Under the old system a parent mov-
ing from one county or district TO an
other was forced TO discard the school
books purchased aud buy new ones,
while under the present system the
school books purchased in the remotest
district OF Modoc county can be used
in any district in San Diego county, OF
elseWher in California. Our State has
large migratory population, and this
unnecessary tax for school books bore
heavily upon the people until the wei.

The fact that number OF other

when Life Began ON Earth.

Lord Kelvin estimates the time since
the earth became sufficiently cooled to
become the abode of plants and animals
to be about 20000.OO0 years. within
limits of error ranging between 1900
100 and 10000, 900 years. From similar
physical data Clarence King has made
an estimate nearly agreeing with this.
Warren Upham says that biologists
generally regard this period as too
short. Dana, wolcott and others com
pute that the duration of time since life
began on earth is from 60,0O0,000 to
100, 600, 900 years.

VISITING A SHRINE.
Lieutenant RawllnsOn's Daring Entry Into
the Sacred City OF Kun.

Lieutenant Rawlinson's Daring Entry Into
the Sacred City Of Kun.
Kun, a walled city of Persia, ranks
second to Meshed in sanctity, on ac-
count of the famous shrine Of Masuma
Fatima, sister Of the Imam Ria, IA
nous saint of the Mohammedans.
While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on
his way to Teheran he heard much Of
this sacred city and the glories of the
shrine. which, it was said, no Euro
pean had ever entered. Death, so rumor
whispered, would be the portion of the
audacious infidel who should be discov-
cred within its precincts.

Too Much Eating.

Gluttony has its victims, hardly less
numerous than other vices. To overeat
is to overbusden the digestive organs to
such an extent that it will be impossi-
BILE for them to perform their duties
properly. Deleterious products are ere
ated, and health is finally destroyed. A
prominent judge used to say such men
dig their graves with their teeth-and
it is SO. On the other hand, there are
those who eat too little. All extremes
are evils that experience should govern.

While the crime of Mitchell, the Ur-
bana fiend who was lynched by mob
in that city, was fearful one, the
action OF the mob was such as to make
a bad matter much worse and to bring
shame and disgrace upon the fair name
of the city. Mitchell was in the keep
ing of the officers OF the law, and was
sentenced to the full limit of the law
prescribed for such crimes as his.
Whether the punishment would fit the
crime or not, was not for a mob to
decide-it was the law, and should have
been permitted to take its course-and
the members of that mob are guilty OF

1t is not always an easy matter to
take sides on public questions in direct
opposition to those who wish you to do
otherwise, nor is it agreeable to be con-

election of all these, and all efforts
should now be directed toward the ac-

People who are trying to make the
public believe that there was friction
between Senator Hanna and his asso-
ciates in regard to committee positions
in the Senate have been discredited by
a recent publication OF Mr.. Hanna's
own expression upon this subject given
in note to the chairman of the COM
mittee authorized to name the commit
tee positions for members OF the SEN
ate. The chairman of that committee
having asked Senator Hanna to name
the committee positions he preferred,
Mr.. Hanna responded by a note in
which he said; II presume the caucus
committee will have its hands full try
ing to apportion the committees. The
task will be herculean enough without
considering me. So go ahead and sat
isfy the demand of those wanting to
get on committees. Do not worry
about giving me anything. All I ask
is that the committee do what will be
for the best interests of the Republican
party and at the same time uphold the
administration.

To people travelling through the
country by carriage or cycle, the neces-
sity of guide boards at cross roads is
often noticed. About year ago, the
League OF American Wheelman secured
the enactment of an amendment to the
Ohio guide board law, making it man
datory, and there is now no reason why
the highway OF tho entire state should
not be thoroughly posted. Upon the
petition of ten freeholders, who are
electors OF the township, asking for the
erection of guide boards. the Trustees
SHALL cause the same to be erected,
and falling to do SO within 60 days, the
petitioner may erect the same and
collect the cost thereof not to exceed $5
for each post, from the trustees. There
is no reason why Ohio should not be
like an open book to the traveller, be
he in any sort of conveyance, with
such law upon the statute books II the
Township Trustees carry out the pro-
visions OF the law, which it is hoped
they will do.

A manacled President would be an
unusual spectacle in the history OF
any country. Ohio Republicans
should remember that failure to elect
Republican legislature this year
means that the hands of their Presi-
dent will be tied during the first half
of his term. Unless a Republican Sena-
tor is elected to fill the seat now occu-
pied by Senator Hanna, the Senate Of
the United States will be controlled by
those hostile to the President.
