foeket1ess Clothing for Employees and.
Trousers Must Not BE Turned Un.
The danger buildings of a powder
mill are themselves so constructed that
not a nail head or iron in any shape
is exposed, and the roofs are made
slight, SO as to give easy vent to. ex-
plosions. The garments of the work..
ers are pocketless, so that they cannot
carry knives or matches, or, indeed.
anything, and are made of non-inf1am-
mable material. Even the buttons
must not be made of metal. No one
is allowed to go about with trousers,
turned up at the bottom, because grit
is collected in that We, and the mer-
est hard speck of foreign matter in a.
change of gunpowder is fraught with
danger. The entrances to danger
buildings are protected by boards
placed edgewise, SO that when the door
is open nothing in the shape of dir.
can work in. This also serves as a.
check to any one who might thought
lessly enter without having first re-
moved his boots and put on the over
alls that are kept just inside the door,
Doors are made to ope-> outward, SO
as to enable them to escape the more
readily, and on the approach of a thun-
derstorm the works are stopped and.
the operatives repair to the different
warehouses scattered over the 300.
acres covered by these extensive works.

and the reports as to its condition are

weather, the lights are kept. outside:
being placed on the window: lodges. In
the case of the works magazine, which
is surrounded with water, no light Of
any kind is ever permitted near it.
These are only few of the p-ecan>
tiGns against accidents at the works.
They are sufficient, however, to- show
how lively must be the sense of dan
ser. Men in powder houses usually
have an arranged plan Of escape in
their minds and at the least unax-
pected noise have not hesitated to-
plunge into the canal.

A Perverse Generation.

The father of family nudged the
old bachelor who stood beside him on
the car platform. The old bachelor
knew what it meant. The father of a
family was about to revert to the
dreary old subject-his children.
II WONDER" he said, why the boys
of the present generation are so much
more perverse than the boys were when
I was young? If remember rightly,
I usually did what my parents wanted
me to do. What are you smiling
about? What makes you think I
didn't? You didn't say so? OF course
you didn't says so, but your smile did.
Well, boys are very different now,
aren't they? Yes; they are. OF course
they are. What do you know about it ?
That's all right. You needn't shake
your head. There's nothing in it.
Well, my youngest boy wouldn't re-
spond to the breakfast bell few morn
ings ago. went upstairs and told him
to get up Immediately. He's 10 years
old and he defed me. He said he
wouldn't get up; it was Saturday morn
ing and no school and he was going to
stay in bed as long as he wanted to.
How was that for the spirit Of IT'S?
But I settled him. All right says I,
you stay right here in bed until your
mother tells you that you can get up,
but don't get up until she does Say,
you should have seen him jump! He
was into hissclothes in no time and at
the breakfast table as soon as@I was.
I don't know what: to make Of that boy.
He isn't a bit like me at his age-not a
bit. "-Cleveland Plain Dealer. &S

II EICY Gle TRADE.
Coordination c.nnot Keep e J, q. % the Price

Combinatio C.nnot Keep Up the Price
Of Wheels.
The reduction in the price Of bicycles
from $3.50 to less than third Of that
amount has weighed heavily upon the
minds of the manufacturers who en-
tered the wheel trust. The com ina-
ton was undoubtedly made with the
purpose of advancing prices to point
that would restore at least part of the
Old fabulous profits, but it is doubtful
II 1t can be made a success. Too many
independent manufacturers are in ex-
lstence who are free to extend their
trade by offering every possible induce
ment in the way of price and quality,
such as individual competition sug-
gests. One of these has just issued a
circular, in which he has the following
TO say: I'VE have thoroughly Or
gan1zed and profitable business, both
IN firearms and bicycles, and there is
no necessity for our joining any move
ment to attempt to monopolize Or
manipulate the bicycle trade, or to as
sist some of the 'top-heavy' firms to
dispose Of their factories at fancy
prices and thus avoid probable col
lapse We are and shall remain per-
tectly Independent and free to, act &C.
eord1ng to our business judgment and
our sense of justice and fairness to: the.
agents who have assisted us;in, building
up our present large business. No one
can buy better material or build high
grade bicycles cheaper than we CAM
and we have completed our plans, and
onr new line of bicycles much earlier
than usual, SO as to make this, state
ment frankly and squarely to our
agents, and we announce our line and
prices for the coming season. as, fol-
lows: Medium-grade roadster,. $25;
high-grade roadster, $35; with coaster
brake, $40; with cushion frame. $50;
chainless, $780," AS these prices, are a.
cut of SIS on each grade, and as: the.
manufacturer is one of high repute in
the trade, it is manifest that the trust
will not b. able to advance the cost
OF wheels next season. Besides; the
day has passed when the wheelman,
could be persuaded that his machine,
beautiful and delicate as it is, can be-
more costly than small steam engine:

An Old Australian-B Born. Woman. Daa<f>

An Old Australian-Born Woman. Daad-
One of the oldest Australian born
members of the fair sex died the other
day in Sydney at the, age of 92.. She
was born in Sydney in 1907, and in
1923 was married, at the age Of t6, to
a leading colonist. She has left behind
her - children, r. grandchildren. 146
great grandchildren, and 10 great
great-grandchildren,, making total of
24O souls. She was the daughter of one
of the first twins born in the colony,
which makes her one of the second
generation, while her descendants go
down to the sixth generation Of Aus
tralian-born. The old lady had a good
memory, and was able to- tell many
stories of olden time in Sydney, for
when she was born the present streets
of Sydney were but tracks, and the
suburbs wild bush, while the back
country, where now there are great
cities and towns and all the develoD-
lnents of civilization, was a terra in
cognita to the white man. The COLONY
was only nineteen years old when the
deceased lady first saw the light.
