How a Woman Choose. Her Sen

INV w oman CnOOSe9 Her Seat.
There are lots of things about wo-
men that can't be explained, and in
our business we can't help noticing
Them" said the communicative con-
ductor. For instance, nine women
out of ten will invariably take seat
on the right hand side of car, if car
is not crowded. have often wondere,T
at this, and at last think have lie
correct solution. I started out from
the barn with an empty car the other
day, and in five blocks had picked up
seven women, and they all sat in row
on the right-hand side Of the car. It
was just about the hour in the morn
Ing when the women come down town
to do their shopping. Three men got
IN, and they sat on the ,eft-hand side.
"A couple of blocks farther down I
picked UP another woman, and, instead
OF taking a vacant seat near the door
on the side, the side the other women
were sitting, as I thought she would
do, she walked the entire length of the
car and sat down beside one of the
men. This bit of eccentricity puzzled
me until I went to collect her fare, and
then l discovered that she was left
handed. See? All the other women
were right-handed. Yes; it does look
like rain, doesn't it"'-Philadelphia

Anarchists Don't Prosper.

Every few anarchists ever become
prosperous and contented citizens"
says detective. There have been
some instances, though. I have in
mind one man who fifteen years ago
was very prominent in anarchistic
circles here. He even published "a
little paper in the interest of an
archy. The sheet was so rabid that
after the Haymarket riots it was sup
pressed. This man was an expert
chemist and his fame had followed
him from Germany, from which
country he had been exiled. He was
offered employment at a salary of $50
a week, more money than he had ever
dreamed of making. He was frugal in
his habits and soon acquired snug
bank account With approaching af.
f1uence he turned his back upon his
old associates and eventually married
an American woman. To-day his
name is but memory AMONG the
anarchists. "-Philadelphia Record.

OF them are entirely automatic. requir-
Ing only the attention of skilled
workman to adjust the work and keep
the machinery in perfect working
| order.
In still another separate building
the work Of forming and drawing cart
ridge cases is carried on, and this is
by no means the least interesting de-
partment of the plant to the ordinary
visitor. The rapid transformation OF
bulky, cumbersome looking blank
into thin, shapely cylinder is an
operation which attracts the eye and
excites the interest of the unskilled
lookeron.
The array of boxes or crates of COM
pleted cartridge cases ranged along
one end of the building would indicate
That Uncle Sam is a firm believer in
the soundness Of the injunction, "In
time of peace prepare for war" The
formidable looking rows of cartridge
cases, however, are harmless, as they
have yet to be charged with the projec-
tiles and high explosives.
AS above stated, all of the work con-
nected with the gun plant is in charge
OF naval officers who are specialists
in the construction of ordnance, and
here and there about the great work
shops is seen one of these officers ar
rayed at this season in his summer
uniform of white duck, with cap of
the same color, the spotlessness of the
garb contrasting conspicuously with
the rather grimy surroundings and the
greasy overalls of the hand workers.
The gun shops necessitated the es-
tablishment within the yard of rail-
way system on small scale, and the
footing Of locomotives and the shifting
of loaded flat cars give evidence of in
dustry and labor.

Uncle Sans Gun Shops

The extensive plant established by
the United States government at the
Washington navy yard is one of the
attractions for visitors to the capital
city. Several immense buildings are
required for the accommodation of the
machinery and workmen employed,
and the entire work is carried on
under the supervision of naval officers.
The principal structure of the group
OF buildings is approximately 900 feet
long and 100 feet wide, and is devoted
to the boring, rifling and jacketing OF
the guns, or the complete construction
of the guns proper as distinguished
from the carriage and other accessor-
les. The well-known Morgan travelling
cranes and hosting apparatus are
employed for suspending and moving
the heavy ordnance, and in applying
the jacket thereto, and this machin-
cry is all of the largest and most sub
stantial type.
Trackways and beams of great size
and strength extend along the sides
and across the upper portion of the
building to support the travelling
hoists, and the suspending chains,
made up of enormous links freely
travel longitudinally and across the
building, and upon each of the NOV
able beams is house or cab contain
ing the propelling mechanism and the
operator.
Gigantic lathes are used for support
ing the heavy guns and operating the
drills and other required tools, and the
most expert workmen are employed in
this important work.
The 'jacketing' of the gun is deli
cate operation. requiring the highest
order Of mechanical skill. The slight
est flaw or inequality in the surface of
the gun is quickly detected, and fire.

VIEW OF THE INTERIOR OF THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE

'quently more than single trial is
necessary before the Jacket is success
fully placed in position. The visitor
observing the "jacketing'' process
will be impressed with the quiet. dis
clpline of the workmen engaged. The
master workman directs his subOrdi-
mates, and especially those in charge of
the hosting apparatus, almost entire
ily by signals with the head and hands,
not resorted to. In fact, the discipline
of the great establishment is quite
strict and along naval lines.
Numerous notices are conspicuously
posted to the effect that workmen are
not allowed to talk to visitors.
Necessarily the quality of the metal
employed in the manufacture of the
huge guns, constituting the armament
of our great warships, is matter of
first Importance, and the materials are
subjected to the highest tests known
to science. AS a result of the great
care required in this respect, as we'll
as in the subsequent steps involved in
the development of the finished pro-
duct, the cost of producing these guns
is very great.
Another large building is devoted to
the building of gun carriages, especi-
ally designed to support the large guns
and large force of machinists is en-
ployed to operate the great variety OF
machinery employed in this branch OF
the work.
Many curious and specially designed
machines are seen in operation here
for scraping, shaving, drilling and re-
.cessing the hard gun metal, and mos

Lincoln as n Life Saver.

William A. Newell, who had the rare
distinction Of being governor of two
states-New Jersey and Washington
told in Success of his romantic expert
ences as congressman in 1910, when
he originated the life saving service by
offering a resolution in the house of
representatives to appropriate money
to save lives imperiled by the sea. Eel
low members Of congress at that SEES
sion were John Quincy Adams and
Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Newell said:
Various objections were made to my
motion, the strongest Of which was
that the scheme was impracticable. 1
laid the matter before q great many
senator's and members, speaking to
them In person. Ex-President John
Quincy Adams occupied seat just be-
hind mine and after the reading Of the
resolution clerk leaned forward and
said to me, I would like to see that res
olution.' l sent for 1t and handed it to
him. He read 1t over carefully and,
handing it to me, said, with smile: 1T

Olives.

The olive tree in it's wild state is a
thorny shrub or small tree, but when
cultivated becomes a tree 20 to 40 feet
high, with no thorns. 1t lives to good
age. The leaves resemble those of a
willow, the flowers are small and white
and grow in clusters as grapes do, and
the fruit is greenish, whitish, violet
or even black in color and generally
oval in shape. 1t is produced in great
profusion, so that an old olive tree be-
comes very valuable to it's owner.
Among the Greeks the olive was
sacred to Minerva, the goddess of wis
dom. 1t was also the emblem of pu-
rity. A crown of olive twigs was the
highest honor that could be bestowed
upon Greek citizen. An olive branch
was also the symbol of peace, and
the vanquished who came to beg for
peace bore olive branches in their
hands.
The American olive is remarkable
for the hardness Of it's wood. 1t is
found as far north as Virginia. Its
fruit is fit for use. and it's flowers are
fragrant.
The fragrant olive of China and ia
pan has extremely fragrant flowers
which are used for fayoring tea.

Polite Erie Commuters.

A stranger who had an appointment
to meet friend in the Chambers street
ferry house. which is used by Erie
commuters, was greatly puzzled the
other afternoon by the actions of the
men who passed the ticket takers win
dow. Nearly three-fourths of them
took their hats off to the ticket taker in
the most polite style.
The stranger thought that possibly
the ticket takers wife was in the box
with him, and he went back to look
again. There was no one in the box
save the ticket taker, who looked good
natured, but not imposing. When his
friend arrived. the stranger said:
''Is that the president of the Erie
road in that box?"
Certainly not. Why do you ask such
question:
"Why, every man who passes him
takes his hat off, gives him marching
salute and walks on"
The friend smiled pityingly at the
strangers ignorance and said it was q
trick Of the Erie commuters to carry
their tickets in the crown of their hats
They took their hats off so that the
agent might see the ticket.-New York

Why We Eat Oysters Raw.

DR.. William Roberts in his interest
ing lectures on the digestive ferments
writes: "Our practice in regard to the
oyster is quite exceptional and furnish
es striking example Of the general
correctness Of the popular Judgment on
dietetic questions. The oyster is al
most the only animal substance which
we eat habitually and by preference in
the raw or uncooked state, and 1t is in
teresting to know that there is q sound
physiological reason ut the bottom of
this preference.
1.-THE fawn colored mass which con-
stitutes the dainty Of the oyster is it's
liver, and this Is little less than heap
Of glycogen. Associated with the gly-
cogen, but withheld from actual con-
tact with it during life, is its appropri-
ate digestive ferment, the hepatic dias-
tase. The mere crushing of the dainty
between the teeth brings these two
bodies together, and the glycogen is at
once digested without other help by it's
own diastase.
1.-The oyster in the uncooked state or
merely warmed is, in fact, self digest
i've. But the advantage of this proyi-
sion is wholly lost by cooking, for the
heat Immediately destroys the associ-
ated ferment, and q cooked oyster has
to be digested, like any other food, by
the eaters own digestive powers

wards of one Of our best known chart

8 o'clock Mary, new Irish servant

Doctor, the head nurse wants you

superiority above the nurses, sent the
Irish girl away with curt message.
Half an hour later the head nurse came

chtne,e Method Of Mea,nr,nr

Many travellers returning from China
have commented upon the apparently
singular lack of knowledge Of the dis
tances across their country or between
their towns that exists among the Chi
nese. II at one town you inquire the
distance to the next, you. may be told
that it is 20 Ii (onethird of mile, but
upon arriving at the town you will be
surprised to find the distance back to
the town from which you have Just
come is "a Ii and that the cost of Jour
neying back again is correspondingly
greater than the cost to go to it.
The Chinese measure distance not by
rule, but by the amount of physical en-
ergy required to traverse them. Their
wage is based on unit Of energy, the
amount that it takes them to carry q
given load, one picul one Ii, on level
ground. If the road from A to B is
down hill, the distance is regarded as
less than the actual linear distance be-
cause it is supposed to take less energy
to travel in that direction, or, as the
Chinese say, 1.-THE Ii are short" 1t nat
urally follows that in travelling in the
other direction, from B back to A, the
road being gradual ascent, q greater
expenditure of energy is necessary.
THE Ii are long" and in order to get
fair compensation for their work the
carriers must see that the distance and
the charges are correspondingly in
creased. With this explanation what
has often appeared as vagary of the
Chinese becomes simple and reasona-
ble.-Leslie's Weekly.
