MAN NEEDS A THIRD HAND.
Showing that Nature Failed to Pro-

When nature gave us two hands she gave

have moved on, and nature has remained
stationary. We have the trolley car to
take us down town. We carry with
hat (Which blows off when there is a
slight breeze. and Is ruined by a shower of
RAIN, an umbrella to protect the hat, and a
small black bag containing papers. On our
way back we have in addition in another
bag a piece of fish which we. have pur-
chased in the market and are taking home
to our residence. Laden with these impedi-
ments, we attempt to board car in motion.
At first sight IL would appear that one
hand is necessary to catch on TO the rail,
another hand to secure the hat, another
hand TO hold the black bag and another to
hold the fish bag. But this is not so In
practice. One hand can satisfactorily ac-
count for a black bag. an umbrella and
fish basket. The trouble begins when we
try TO hold on the hat with the same hand
with which we are gripping on TO the rail.

structed, we lose our hat or our balance,

secure.

ing holes, and in front with a lifting
door. One oven is separated from the
next by relatively narrow wall, not
exceeding three feet thick. The back
wall of the oven is also provided with
an opening through which the waste
gases escape to reach the flue, leading
the same to the chimney. These in
many cases are also utilized for supply
ing power. The charge of coal is re-
ceived from the top, which is properly
leveled.
within recent years the cooling of
the coke in the ovens has been aban-
doned, and the charge is ignited by
the reflected heat of the arch, and also
by the transmitted heat through the
relatively thin side walls separating
the oven from it's neighbors. The
space between the arch of the oven and
the charge is practically a combustion
chamber, and the heat generated in
combustion chamber acts directly on
the charge. The middle portion in
the batch of coke is therefore produced
in manner similar to that of the bee
hive ovens"

PRAISE FOR
SOUTHERN
WOMEN.
Dy Emily De SnusSure.

One of the most significant facts
about the recent National Suffrage
Convention at Washington, was the
large number of Southern women pre-
sent. A few years ago the South was
regarded as one of the most conserga-
tive sections of the country on the wo-
man question. Now every Southern
State except Florida has its Suffrage
Association. The ability, eloquence
and enthusiasm of the Southern dele
gates were the subject of admlring
comment in the Northern press.
The ladies from Louisiana were the
lionesses of the convention, because last
summer they cast their ballots for the
first time. In giving tax-paying wo-
men the right to vote upon questions
of taxation, the Louisiana Constitute
onal Convention took a step in advance
of all the Northern and Eastern States:
ann at the Washington convention the
daughters of Louisiana were the OBJ
jects of universal congratulation.
Miss Kate NJ. Gordon, president of
the Woman's Sewerage and Drainage
League of New Orleans, described the
victory won for improved sanitation
by the women of that city last June.
Mrs Caroline E. Merrick, widow of the
chief justice of Louisiana, and for
many years president of the State Suf-
frage Association, said that boy who
was preparing a debate on equal suf-
frage once came to her for infornla-
ton. She gave him all the points she
could think of and added: IF any
| idiot gets up and asks you who viii
take care of the baby while its mother
casts her ballet say that the same per-
son can do it who took care Of it when
she went to pay her taxes" Somebody
afterwards did ask that question in the
debate, and the boy got deluge of
applause for his answer.
Mrs. Virginia Durant Young, Presi-
dent of the South Carolina Equal
Rights Association, and editor and
proprietor of the Fairfax Enterprise,
told THE Story of Woman Suffrage
in the South" She mentioned that
Southern State was the first in the
Union to grant woman any form OF
suffrage, as Kentucky gave the school
ballot TO widows in 1888. A Southern
woman was also the first to ask fer
the full ballot. Mrs. Young said.
THE stoA- of woman suffrage in the
South really antedates that in New
England. The new woman Of the new
South, who asks for equal suffrage,
with her brother man, is in the direct
line Of succession to that magnificent

At the south end of the building below
Washington street the foundation is in
for quite a good sized addition. Two
more kilns for burning block will be
erected. A $50 horse power gas engine
will be put in, and additional boiler
capacity is going in to assist In heat
ing the building. New clay grino4ng
machinery has been put in surround
ed by contrivances for the safety of
the employees. The department where
the clay is prepared by men who
knead 1t in their bare feet is to be
doubled in size. This firm is turning
out a large number of the Neville
glass melting pots, which have hole
at the top and with which glass can
be heated in one-half the time for

This pot was patented by resident
of Lazearville, who is making a good

At it's last meeting the local Trades
Assembly completed the task of taking

There is no place in the city where
as good genial feeling is in the air as
in the decorating department at the
Steubenville pottery, of which Col w.
Bentley Jones has charge. Mr. Jones
formerly resided in Wheeling, and be-
sides being an efficient superintendent
is thorough gentleman to those over
whom he has authority. He made the
opening of the new decorating de-
partments at the pottery an occasion
for cementing the good feeling that
exists in his department. The en-
ployes of their department and the pot
terry officials were his guests in the
new building Thursday evening, and
beside dancing all enjoyed the social
intercourse and an elaborate supper
was served. This new department is
60x90, three stories and brick. The
first floor is for an extension of the
packing and warehouse departments.
The second and third floors are fitted
up for the decorating department, and
will accommodate $50 persons. 1t is

rooms have been will be used for an
extension of the mold rooms and press

ming full, orders are plenty and the
ware turned out is first class in every
respect Among the men who have
recently come to work there are some
of the most skilled pottery workmen
in the country. The new line of din
