ingly light and delicate. 1t passes
through the shed with but one-half the
opening required by the shuttle, thus
the operator xplained-doing away
with the greater part Of the strain
which, with the present shuttle system,
breaks the warp threads.
If this new mechanism is to supplant
the bobbin both time and labor will be
saved in every factory where looms are
operated.
With the new attachment there are
no bobbins to be taken out or put in,
and the breaking of threads is reduced
to a minimum by the freedom and deli
cacy with which they are paid into the
loom from the large spools The chief
operator of the exhibition loom in the
Jersey City machine shop says that a
loom with the self feeding attachment
will weave 100 yards of cloth in the
same time that the old loom with the
bobbin would take to weave 70 yards
Of cloth, both looms running at the
same rate of speed.
Uniformity Of speed is another ad-
vantage claimed for the new attach
ment. The let off and take up of the
weft are positive, and there being no
stoppages of the loom or replacement of
threads, the uniformity of the fabric is
established and for any length of run.
With looms in which bobbins are used
one expert weaver is required to look
after from two to six looms, according
to the quality Of thread in use. When
the bobbins are replaced by the large
spool and the self feeding attachment is
used, the loom is supposed to look after
itself and one man is expected to at
tend to whole section of looms.
1t is explained by the owners of this
new mechanism that it is the result of
several years of labor and experiment. in
different parts of the world.
The attachments thus far perfected
are adaptable to all fast running looms,
whether weaving silk, linen, wool,
cotton or other material All that is
required to effect the change from the
old to the new is that the beam on
which the self feeding attachment is
placed shall be of the same length as
the one taken out of the old loom.

Oil Fuel For Locomotives.

Oil fuel for locomotives is being tried
as an experiment by the Wabash rail
road, but it is too soon as yet to state
results The Southern Pacific railway
had six or eight oil burning locomotives
on the Los Angeles division, but in con-
sequence of a rapid rise i'll the price of
the oil obtained near Los Angeles the
supply to the railway fell short, and
some of the engines We're converted to
coal burners which change can very
easily be made. The Zerbe system of
using oil for fuel has recently been
tried on the New York elevated rail
way; but, according to Il published state
ment of Mr.. Fransioli, the general man.

Powdered Crab as a Medicine.

A Russian journal that has recently
come under our notice calls attention to
the fact that for some 20 years past the
inhabitants of malarial locality in
the government of Kharkov have used
powdered crabs with great success in
the case of fevers. The powder is pre-
pared in the following way: Live crabs
are poured over with the ordinary
whisky until they get asleep. They are
then put on bread pan in a hot oven,
thoroughly dried and pulverized and
the powder passed through fine sieve.
One dose, a teaspoonful, is generally
sufficient to cure the intermittent fever
In very obstinate cases a second dose is
required. Each dose is invariably pre-
ceded by glass of aloe brandy as a
purgative. The powder is used in that
locality in preference to quinine. So

LITTLE MONEY IN MEAT.

How Restaurant PrOpretors Suffer From
the Make Up of Menu Cards.
eff all restaurant proprietors, " said
one of them, who has been we'll known
as the owner Of a Broadway eating
place for the last ten years, "could on
ly induce their customers to eat less
meat they not only would make more
money, but they would give better sat
isfaction all round In the first place,
there is little or no money for the res
taurant keeper in selling boiled or roast
meats. 1t costs too much to handle them
and requires too much time o'prepare
them and serve them as they should be
to leave any profit for the man who
does it,
"And in the second place the patrons
order meats when they would much
prefer something else. That is the fault
of the proprietor He arranges his menu
wrong. The small steaks, the chops and
the outlets and all the other meats to
order are placed too conspicuously ON
the bill of fare. A mans eye is bound
to catch that list first, whether the man
wants meat or not Being in hurry,
as 90 men out of 100 are in the country,
he orders the first attractive dish he
finds, and the result is he gets some
thing he does not care particularly
about and something which the restau-
rant man does not care particularly
about selling to him.
Last winter the man who runs the
restaurant in the national house of rep
resentatives tried an experiment which
turned ont remarkably we'll. He delib,
erately set to work to lure his patrons
away from the steaks and chops to or
der column, and so instead of printing
it in bold black letters i'll the middle of
the bill of fare he tucked it away down
in the lower right hand corner and
placed at the top of the card list of
the dishes that We're most profitable to
him. They proved not only to be most
profitable to him, but most satisfactory
to his customers, and instead of using
six loins of meat day, as he had done
before, he used only one and half and
supplied the same number of guests. -

HE WORRIED ABOUT IT.
When the weather was murky, he gazed at th
shy,

When the weather was murky, he gazed at the
sky,
And he worried about 1t.
He watched the gray cloudlets go scurrying by
And he worried about it.
"Ill bet 1t will rain, " he would say to a friend
All manner Of dire disaster portend.
His life was one fret from beginning to end,
For he worried about it,
He had few troubles, as humankind will,
And he worried about it.
The good he belittled and magnified ill.
And he worried about 1t.
His health was nigh perfect, but then, if you
please,
He fancied he had mostly every disease
And martialed his ailments In columns Of
threes,
And he worried about 1t.
No doubt when he entered tho world long ago
He worried about it.
As a matter of fact, when he married, you
know,
He worried about it,
And when he departs from this scene Of despair
And mounts on light wings through ethereal
air,
When ushered right up to heavenly chair,
He'll worry about 1t.

DISMISSING A WEAXLING.
The Poor Fool Could Not Soc That He
Had Her Won.

The Poor Fool Could Not See That He
Had Her Won.
Reginald Hanscomb stopped in the
hall and nervously fumbled at the rim
of his hat, meanwhile gazing into Po-
cahontas Poindexter eyes with fond
ness that the beautiful girl could not
mistake.
He opened his lips as if about to
speak, but the words that he sought to
utter would not come, and the fair
maiden gave a low, sweet sigh that
was calculated to fill his heart with
blowholes.
Yet he stood there, and she stood in
front of him, looking and longing and
wondering why he hesitated.
Once she was almost tempted to take
him back into the parlor and tell him
that it was all right; that she knew
how he felt about it, and that she
would just take it for granted without
the usual formality. But her maiden
modesty rose in rebellion, and she said
to herself:
"No. If he is too timid, too cowardly,
to say the words, it will perhaps be bet
ter for us both if we take diverging
ways -
Then, speaking aloud, she said:
"Well, good night, Mr.. Hanscomb,
if you must be going"
"Well, good night" he said. II
guess must be going.'
''Well, good night" she said again,
holding the door open for him.
"Well, good night" he said, passing
out through the vestibule.
She shut the door with bang and
sat down upon the stairway and buried
her face in her hands and sobbed
But half a minute later she heard
him returning. Her heart gave glad
leap, and she rushed to the door to ad-
nit him.
He stood looking down into her
sweet, expectant face for moment aft
er the door had swung back, and then,
clearing his throat, he said:
''Some pesky kid punctured my tire
while l was inside. l wonder if 1 could
borrow your mending outfit for about
two minutes?'
NO" she replied my repairing
outfit is up in the attic, and can't find
it tonight. Walk home It'll do you
good. "
Then she slammed the door in his
face, and he tried to think-poor fool
as he wended his way homeward, what
he had done to offend her--Cleveland

Profits of Good Roads,

Now, as to the profits in good roads.
The towns and cities which have made
entrance easy find that trade thereby
comes to them. Farmers desert old
markets for the new ones, although the
old markets may be nearer home, being
influenced by the knowledge of how
much cheaper large loads may be hauled
over we'll made roads. OF course they
buy where they sell, and one consequent
gratifying result is competition be-
tween business centers in the matter of
good roads. New York Post.

A BOBBINLESS LOOM.
INVENTION THAT MAY REVOLUTION
lZE THE WEAVING INDUSTRY.
Increased Efficiency Promised, With a
Saving Of Skilled Labor and Expense.
The New Machine Feeds Itself and Feeds
Variety of Colors simultaneously.

q Variety of Colors simultaneously.
Amid the whir of wheels and the
clatter of levers and shuttlcs in ma
chine shop i'll Jersey City an ordinary,
medium sized loom wcaves cloth with
out the aid of the familiar bobbin. The
inventor of this self feed loom attach
ment declares that it will not only do
away with the bobbin altogether, but
will save skilled labor, weave all fabrics
at a reduced cost and, III fact, ryzclu-
tionize the weaving industry.
To all appearances this bobbinless
loom performs it's work faithfully on
radically new lines. Instead of an as
sortment of small bobbins which have
to be placed in the shuttle by hand this
weaving apparatus is automatically fed
from large spool Of thread, holding q
ten hours supply, which stands at the
side of the loom.
An important advantage claimed for
this improved mechanism is that it will
feed a number of threads at the same
time, using variety of colors stimuli
taneously. The old style shuttle lays in
only one filling thread at time. Con-
sequently when more than one filling
thread is used, as in the manufacture
of box or basket cloth, the old shuttle
must make as many trips across the
loom as there are filling threads, while
any changes of color necessitate the
stopping of the machinery and cause
delays.
This self feeding loom attachment
consists of two similar parts, one at
each end Of the lay. In order to attach
1t to an old loom it is only necessary
to take out the crossbeam of the lay,
just under the reed, with all of its shut
tie boxes and other machinery, and in
its place set a square beam similar in
size to the old one taken out. On each
end of the new beam is affixed the SIM
pie mechanism of the attachment, which
weaves with continuous supply of fill
ing thread.
The carrier of the attachment is only
three-quarters Of an inch in thickness,
and, though made of steel, it is exceed
