purpose, if a little care be taken. Then
wrap piece Of ruby paper all around

DOMESTIC ECONOMY PUZZLE
She Could Get the Answer, but Still She
Wondered.


Wondered.
A dear little woman up on Capitol
hill married and went to housekeeping
in the most determined manner. She
set to work to keep an exact account of
her expenditures. balancing her books
regularly once month, One Of her
earliest purchases was an ice ticket for
the season. 1t cost, believe, $40.
A month later, in making up her &C.
counts, it occurred to her that that $40
should be divided proportionately among
the several months mentioned on the
ticket in order to give to each days &C.
count only the amount of money actual
~ expended on that day. Also she
wished to calculate and set down the
number of pounds of ice used each day.
The problem had several ramifications
which have forgotten but, at any rate,
it was exceedingly difficult, and the
housewife covered sheet after sheet of
paper with her calc~lasion The ar
rival of her husband found her dishevel-
ed and in state Of evident distress.
"What in the world is the matter?''
he asked. The wife explained
"Well, can't you get any answer
without that figuring?' he asked. The
wife's eyes began to blink rapidly and
she shifted suspiciously
"Oh, can get an answer, she said,
swallowing hard-"I can get lovely
answer, but can't put it in my book
because can't tell can't tell wheth.

AT THE AQUARIUM.
A Feeding Time Incident of Life In the
rE@ Balanced Tanks

A Feeding Time Incident of Life In the
Balanced Tanks.
When the decorator crab gets too big
for it's shell, it does what many other
shellfsh dot sheds it, emerging with
Its new shell already formed, but at
that stage Of its growth pliable and not
much thicker than paper. In its soft
shell state it is comparatively defense
less and it keeps out Of the way of other
shellfish if it can, but it's new shell
soon hardens, and then it goes about in
its accustomed manner.
The decorator increases greatly, per-
haps third in size, almost immediate.
~ after leaving its old she'll, which it
scarcely seems possible it could ever
have inhabited, but it gets out of the
old she'll nevertheless without damag-
ing it and leaving it often disposed in a
most lifelike form.
The decorators at the aquarium are
fed separately, so that each will be sure
to get it's portion. The food is put down
to them on the tip of little stick,
which is shaken gently over them, and
the food, thus detached, falls within the
crabs grasp. There is no current in the
balanced tanks in which the smaller
decorators are, and anything dropped in
the water drops straight down. The
other day there were found in one of
these tanks, clinging to the diva, two
decorators, which were supplied, as
usual, by placing their food in the Wa
ter where they would be sure to get it.
Being somewhat pressed for time that
day, however, the man who fed them
did not wait to see the crabs actually
eat. He placed their food within reach
and trusted them to do the rest.
But glancing in at this tank on his
return from feeding the small fishes and
things in the other balanced tanks he
saw the two decorators that be had
found on the ulva still there and in pre-
cisely the same attitudes as before, and
then he realized that they were not live
crabs, but SEEDLINGS. He had been feed
ing empty Shells On taking them out
of the tank he found inside of one of
them the fragment Of food which he
had dropped for it, which had fallen
into it through the opening between
the upper and the lower part of the
shell which the crab had made in get
ting out. -r--.
+ It may be that the two decorators for
merly residing in these shells, but noY
secure in some distant part of the tank
with new shells hardening on their
backs, smiled as they thought of the
feeding of their empty shells. 1t is GER
tain that the man who fed them smiled
as he arranged them for preservation IN
the aquarium's collections. New York

THE SPLI I IN FlNiT TIVE

g. Bernard Shaw Says the Clamor About
It Is All Nonsense.
In q letter to the editor Of the London
Chronicle G. Bernard Shaw writes:
Ishould have thought, now that we
have an academy Of letters, that itmight
rescue us from the gentlemen who occa-
sionally write to you to explain how
| English should be written. Some time
ago you let loose an unhappy creature
to whom some competent person had
incautiously pointed out common
blunder in the use Of land which. =
Not underst nding the matter, he began
accusing every writer il whose works
he could discover land which, Of
writing bad English. With your per
mission, I have extinguished him, and
he has not since been heard of. There
was some excuse for that poor wretch,
because there unquestionableis wrong
way of using and which, but for the
"split infinitive" pest there is no excuse
At all. There is nothing whatever to
mislead him except his own nature If
any man were to object to split indie

his foolish ignorance? And yet this split
infinitive nonsense is taken quite seri-
ously by editors who are sufficiently
good writers to repeatedly use it them
selves.
The intinitive is mood in which the
position of the adverb cannot possibly
produce ambiguity; consequently tho
order OF the words is not matter Of
grammar, but of style, of which the ear
is the only arbiter.. The ear often de-
mands the split infnitive and will have
it in spite of all the silly people who do
not know what style means.
When these infinite insects are dis
posed OF, you will no doubt be attacked
in due course by the even more impu-
dent impostors who, though they pro-
nounce the word "color" SO as to rhyme
with "duller, and never hear it aud
never have heard it and never will hear
it pronounced in any other way, from
time to time pretend to be shocked

you will always insist on these nui-

rhyme with ''our'' or ''poor,'' as the
case may be, or whether they are merely

Tho Quality Of Real Fan.

One man said to another in an ele-
waited car about something that he had
just read, Now, that is actually fun
ny, i" and then he read it over again.
The inference from: this is, Of course.
that many Of the things written in fun
are not really funny, and, making due
allowance for lack Of appreciation, it is
doubtless true that much OF the matter
written as fun actually does lack the
true spark. It may be well intention
good natured, even cheerful, and yet
lack the peculiar filing, satisfying, en-
ergizing, refreshing, uplifting quality
of real fun.
The man who has this kind Of fun in
his heart and who has besides the power
of communicating it to his neighbor
need not go to the Klondike for his re-
ward. New York Ledger.

They Keep 1t Up.

Last week we had the pleasure of publish
ing subscription to our machinery fund OF
$40 from the Western Central Labor Union
No 5 OF Butte, Mont, and now comes SINH
lar amount from the Montana State Trade
and Labor Council. What cheer and hope
these new friends give the pioneers is beyond
expression. With grateful hearts we takeup
the AK or shovel and renew the fight for in
dustrial freedom, knowing that the work is
lightened by the addition of so many OF our
trade union friends Brother unionists. when
you and we can agree on the best methods to
secure the cooperative commonwealth, we
will get it. Collectively we are simply ire
sistible; separately, powerless. Let us move
on together comrades.

The Principle of Self-help Realized.

The common sense plan of enlisting our
secular friends in the cooperative idea and
concentrating their efforts at one point at a
time is bearing fruit, even beyond the expec-
tations of its sanguine promoters. The call
for the machinery fund has been almost in
stantly responded to, and sufficient capital
has been raised to secure good saw mill and
donkey engine, aud still contributions are
coming in.
Who told you that the workers and friends
of reform had lost courage? Hereafter re-
fer them to the good work that is being done
in Equality colony to create a perpetual job
for the victims of capitalism. He that would
be free, himself must strike the blow! The
blow. now being struck by our comrades on
the outside are of the most telling and prac-
tical kind.
The opportunities on Puget Sound for the
manufacture Of ali kinds Of lumber products
are simply unlimited, and Equality colony
has the skilled mechanics and the material.
Now then, the commonest horse sense would
lead Us TO get wood working machinery go
ing, and thus make room for others, like our
selves. who have been driven out of employ
ment bv gigantic machinery in the hands of
our enemies.
Machinery is all right, it is only question
whether it shall be used against the workers
for them, as would be the case If they
owned it. Brothers, put in your small
savings and buy yourselves some wood work.
ing machinery. set it up in Equality beside
your own saw mill, shingle mill and donkey
engine, and then come and get all the prod
uct of your labor?

A Welcome Announcement.

We are happy to announce that there is
money enough now contributed to pay for the
saw mill and donkey engine. If distance
could be annihilated what grand old-fash-
toned handshake over the successful carrying
out of the machinery fund plan The better
side of onp human nature is now indicated,
and we know by actual trial that the many
friends of the Brotherhood of the Co-opera-
tive Commonwealth can act together for the
general good of all. This is tremendous
fact and should be thought over by every
friend of cooperation until it is imbedded in
his inmost thoughts. that we can now lay
aside personal jealousies and dissensions and
build upa common capital for the good of all.
Mossbacks say ''you cannot" experience
gladly proclaims, 'we can" Now we are
going to make socialist city of Equality.
That means more and more machinery. The
next thing in Importance is plant for the
manufacture of sash and doors, furniture and
general wood work. Do the comrades want
to extend this principle of self-help by mutual
action and thus sesure a'woo d working facry?
Why not? 1t Gun be done 1t can be done
and no one feel the poorer for it. A continu-
ous persistent hammering away at the sash
and door factory will give us all more jobs
and give them all the sooner. The sun does
not shine more certainly than that we will
have large influx of socialists here in the
spring. Now it is but the part of manage
ment to do all we can between now and then
to put them to remunerative employment
The time of self-support can be greatly hast
ened by getting wood working machinery. So
from now on let us bend every force to bear
on the sash and door factory. Let the old
war horses inspire the new ones to put their
little pile into machines for themselves to
use. We are going to make an experiment,
discontinue the general assembly for three
months and legislate by the initiative and
referendum. The board of directors will ex-
eeute We will report the results.

Comrade Burton and Mr. Finn (one of our

scarce.
The boys have elected Comrade Hokanson
chief of police and Comrade Whitesides as
chief of the fire department. Why these two
offices have been created and filled is more
than the writer can tell. But suppose the
boys in Equality and Ruskin will understand
There is movement on foot among the
colony boys TO have a clam bake Thanksgiv-
ing Eve. Now this would be entirely practi-
cal in our neighborhood, as we can get clans
at our very door that will weigh from to 10
pounds, but these large clans are not as fine
flavor as the smaller ones, which are very
plentiful.
1t is sight to see the large fish in our
creek. Sunday being beautiful day, Com
rade Willard and the writer took stroll
from the Office down on the grounds
where the boys are chopping cordwood and
clearing the ground, and before we got with
in 40 feet OF the creek we could hear the wa
ter splashing. A stranger to these parts
would have thought that man had fallen in
the creek. We could see large salmon by the
score. They were principally dog salmon,
and from 10 to 36 inches in length, weighing
from to "a pounds There is, however, quite
number OF steel heads, silver salmon and
trout, and when Comrade DeArmond arrived
ON the scene with gaff hook it did not take
long to land a silver salmon that made . nne
breakfast for about Is colonsts.

Some Good Work.

A speakers training class has been begun.
1t is thought that Equality has some good
raw material, and the club has started in to
manufacture socialist speakers. D. Burgess
is president. Mrs. Sarah Ward Temple vice
president, and w. c. B. Randolph critic, for
one month. Ethical and economic books Will
be studied by chapters, and then at weekly
meetings, ten minute speeches will be made.
All connected with it are in earnest and glad
they thought of it.
