POOR PAY OF MODELS
A Calling That IL Full of Hardship
and Makes hut Small
Return.

The amount OF stuff that Is written,
and presumably read, about models
nowadays leads one TO suppose that the
life OF these men and women is very
pleasant and delectable. Like most fig
ures OF realistic" fiction, says the Phil
adelphia Press, this one is not quite
real. One Of the few good models OF
Philadelphia said the other day: "For
class work | get four dollars a week and
work as many hours a day, going on
the stand at s:45 and posing until ~: As,
with a rest OF ten minutes in every 60.
The head model has TO do just MS much
posing OF the body as any other, and
gets less money. However, it's one of
the few lines OF business where women
do better than men. The latter don't
seem to have the required bodily en-
durance. Put yourself in the most com
Portable position and try to remain so,
unmoved, for five minutes, and you'll
understand something Of what / have
to 20 through for ten times that long
without a break. For hat reason most
models prefer to pose for male classes,
Men always have more consideration.
A woman painter will make you stand
till her own hand is tired with the
brush. Yet in the studio Of the most
considerable one must undergo torture.
There is a lot Of pity given to factory
girls, OF which a little might be ex-
tended TO us, for the fact IL that there is
no business in which n woman can en-
gage where she will suffer so much ia
tigue and get so little remuneration as
that Of an artists model"

LIMESTONE WOOL
Oas Of the Wonders Of he Century
sad Its Accidental Dis
sOvsvy

The conversion OF the fiintiest, rough
one OF the wonders OF the century which
will shortly appear in a practical way
to the manufacturer, says the New York
Telegraph. Wonderful and almost inn
possible as il may seem, this process is
being carried on successfully by a man
who expects his discovery to revolution
ize the wool and cloth manufacturing
industries.
The discoverer was making some tests
Of stone and was using heat and chem
icals to analyze them, He happened
upon a limestone which, when sub
iected to the tests, acted Unexpectedly.
The usual course OF stone under the con
ditions he was submitting 1t to is to be-
come quicklime, but in this instance il
ran into a lava. To all outward appear
ancc the tor was common building
stone. II had been used in many build
ings, but it had a chemical quality that
was very different.
The molten mass was very pliable,
like glass when IT Is In the same state.
Glass may be strung out like silk, and IL
has been converted into dress goods.
The man conceived the idea Of carrying
his experiment still further. This white
lava was subjected to chemical baths
and then to "A drawing-out process, by
which it was converted into the finest
and most pliable white wool.

HOW TO HAVE A PICNIC
Those Who FOLLOW This Advice WIN
De Sure 20 Enjoy the
Occasion.

Before many weeks we will wake up
some fine morning TO find out that the
leaves on the trees have begun TO
and that summer has rome. Then We
will hear from all sides: "Oh, why
didn't l do this or that7 intended to
all summer-but didn't get around to
IL, and now IL is toe latei" says the
Detroit Free Press.
One OF the things TO be deplored will
be that more time was not spent in the
open air-st the parks, on the river
and at nearby country places. 1t is so
easy to set out the summer doing
nothing. But IL is a bad habit, for
when winter comes again IL seems like
an old story and isn't half so welcome
ms IL the summer had been spent in COM
plete change. This is genuine old-fash-
Toned picnic season, and the picnic
ought not TO be despised. Nothing Is so
delightfully."- unconventional; and re-
Taxation. OF course, is the basis OF rest.
But IL Is q great mistake 20 think that
a picnic Is not n success unless the en-
tire party Is reused out OF bed at sun
rise and the lunch big enough To feed a
regiment. Quantity there must be, OF
course, for everybody expects to eat too
much. but more than anything else,
have the lunch n dainty one. One
doesn't mind a grasshopper or two in
the lemonade or a family reunion Of
ants on the cake-butif the sandwiches
are thick and the cake is dry and other
things are in the same black list not
even a picnic appetite will be satisfied.

COUSIN GEORGES DECISION.
He Thought His New Found Relatives
Were . Very shoddy
Lot.

NOW, my dear, / want you to be very
kind to your cousin George when he
comes" said the girls mother, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press,
"Oh, mammal | simply can't tote
him all over town, and don't think you
ought to expect me to-"
But you must entertain him nicely
while he's here. He probably will not
stay long"
How do you know? We've never
seen him-we don't know anything
about him. Dear me! think it's hor-
rible! don't see what he's coming for.
just suppose he's drcadfully awkward
and doesn't know how to act! Why. it
would be too embarrassing for any
thing! And the girls have been studying
gencalopy at the library for the last
two weeks, and they're awfully critical
about ones relations"
The next afternoon a coupe drove 10
the door aud a young man alighted. II
was George. lie was an athletic Young
fellow, who, though he hailed from a
small western town, had been educated
abroad, and was as fine a specimen of
manhood as could be found. Marguerite
was delighted. The relief was great.
She gushed p~rofusely over her new
found cousin and offered him all sorts OF
socinl inducements to spend a week.
But he left the next afternoon.

THEIR OPINION OF HIM.
4 Bio~-Itsrd Government Clerk Who
Tried tn Make an Impression
Upon Indians.

Last winter n delegation OF Indians
from "A far western state, on a tour OF
Inspection through the interior depart
ment, visited the land office, where they
were introduced 10 the clerk who had
especial charge of their section OF the
country, a bumptious little individual
with n big head. Tbs official proceeded
Ia oyerpower the edlnen with his inn
portance, says a Washington CORE
spondent in the New York Tribune.
Grasping each one of them cordially
by the hand, ne patted them patroniz-
ingly on their backs and then delivered
a long speech, explaining in detail the
work Of the office, their interest i'm il,
laying particular stress on the fact that
hc was the motive power OF il all. rs
% as their entertainer paused for
lreath the visiting Indians began 10
prunt and talk among themselves.
What are they saying?" asked the
cCotistical clerk, expecting to hear high
praise Of himself, Tell me what they
rre saving"
II cannot tell you" replied the inter
prefer; "it was not for you To hear"
But the little man insisted, and with
great reluctance the interpreter finally
Yielded. They said" he translated,

nothing, much fool"

He told the shop assistant that he
wanted 10 purchase something that
would be a suitable present for a young
lady, says Tt-Bits.
The clerk brought out albums, books,
gold pens and pencils and card cases,
but nothing seemed TO suit. As the last
resort he showed the young man an en-
gagement calendar-a beautiful little
tablet on which TO record the engage
ments for each day Of the week.
Quite the fad now" he explained, as
he displayed the calendar. "Al the
young ladies feel the need of them, es-
pecially during the season"

the shop assistant. Shell find IL in

"You think she would like one7"
asked the young man, with forced
calmness.

wouldn't" exclaimed the young man,
losing control OF his temper. ~ know
her and you don't, and I want you 70
understand, sir. that she has no use for
any such calendar. She doesn't have to
keep any record Of her engagements.

been engaged, and any a who says
that she will ever be engaged TO anyone
else or that she has 20 put II down on

He had left the shop before the as
sistant had sufficiently recovered from
his surprise to explain.

Occasionally small diamonds have
been found among the ridges of gravel
brought down from the north in the
age Of the glaciers and scattered over
the states bordering OF the great lakes.
Prof. Hobbs, Of the University Of Wis
c%onsin, thinks that these diamonds
came from some place in Canada, and
that by tracing back the lines Of ad-
vance OF the glaciers the original loca-
tion Of the gems may he discovered.

gestion is TO be made, and Prof. II. l.,

powerful currents of electricity are all
around great care has to be exercised to
prevent the workmen from killing
themselves through carelessness. Fa-
milinrity with danger sooner or later
results in lack Of caution, and expert
enced electricians are not i~nfrequrnt-
ly badly shocked, IL not killed, by care
lessly touching an object they wen
know should be avoided. To correct
this, says the Philad elphia Record, a
plan has been adopted in several large
power houses. 1t is neither arduous
nor complicated, but it has worked well.
II is simply to compel every employe to
work with one hand in his pocnet ex-
cept when his duties absolutely require
the use Of both. Keeping one hand in
the pocket not only keeps il out of dan
ger, but also maintains the impression
in the mind that danger exists when
both hands are free. II has the same
effect as the string tied around n mans
finger who has been told TO do some
thing he must not forget. One hand
always in the pocket is a valuable re-
minder rot to place il anywhere else
unless a particular duty requires il.
