seen in the way of tape measures.
There are the heads of Chinese. Japs,

The handles consist of a number of

There are shoe horns and button

CHINESE MECHANICAL SKILL
A Wonderful Example of Initiative
Excellence.


Whatever may be his lack of moral
perception and originality of idea, the
heather Chince certainly eXcels in
initiative power, and is often very
much alive to the excellence of
mechanical devices that he never saw
before. In The American Machinist
Oberlin Smith affords an illustration of
this fact.
Some years ago Mr.. Smith sent
Henry a. Janvier to China to assist in
the erection and operation of coming
plants for brass and silver currency.
One of the tools which Mr.. Janvier
took with him was Il micromcter cali
per. made by n well known firm in the
United States. and capable of detecting
differences of thOusandth of an inch
in the thickness of Il piece of metal.
The superintendent of one of the shops
which Mr.. Janvier established was
named Wal, and he proved very in
telIigent fellow. During an interval Of
about six weeks he borrowed the cali
per almost daily, and was rather tardy
in returning it.
Finally he exhibited TO the American
a reproduction of the instrument which
was perfect except in one respect.
Certain tables of figures stamped into
the steel by the Yankee maker of the
original were omitted from the copy,
and in their place were several Chinese
characters. The imitation had been
made with the rudest Of tools, but was
marvel of accuracy. Mr.. Wal pro-
posed an exchange to Mr.. Janvier. and
the latter agreed to the proposition

Very recently in several large eastern
cities ladies who realized the great i'm
portance of proper food for school children
and knowing also that in many homes the
subject of proper feeding of the growing
body was not even considered, hit upon
very good and practical plan of fitting
up a Iunchroom where wholesome and
hygienic lunches were served to pupils
from nearby schools Plenty of time was
given them to eat without hurry, and care
ful service was rendered. The plan met
with the most gratifying success. The
menu consisted of soup. cocoa, sandwiches.
milk, fruit, biscuits, plain cakes and crack
erS of various kinds, varying the dishes
much as possible each day. To this list
might be added plain vegetable and fruit
salads and nut foods and with the eXcep
ton of cake they would be able to furnish
ideal luncheons for the student, giving
them plain. wholesome food. but attractive
as well. This plan could be adopted in con-
nection with almost any school, would be
a great relief to busy mothers to know that
their children were receiving good whole
some food. properly prepared, while the
time thus saved TO her meant many things.

Food for school Children.

We must bear in mind that there is an
unusual demand for food on the part of
the school boy or girl, both on account of
the growing or building up process and
unusual mental and physical activity, that
is if the child be healthy and normal, be
tween the ages of five and twelve; the child
is very creature; from the natural phys
ical demands and duties; the developing
of the intellect well as body. Filling
every cell in the tissues full of matter
ready to be set free in mental or physical
energy, and at the same time subject to
that would tax the nervous strength OF
its inventors. All this supply OF force
needed to accomplish the work successful
~ the child must get from the food 1t eats.
and we include in this list plenty of water
and fresh air. No plant can live without
both, no matter how we enrich with other
materials. The latent power to produce
the energy required and at the same time
complete the human structure with every
part in perfect accord, comes from the
commonplace source of meat grains and
vegetables.
Mothers can see that their children have
the proper class of foods and in proportion
necessary to their individual requirements,
when they can prepare all the food they
eat, but in both city and country il Is OFTEN

children to take their midday meal al
