something peculiarly striking in the first
impressions received on his arrival at the
Prussian capital. The train steams into
the spacious terminus. where scarcely a
soul is to be seen except Il few blue
advertisements of any kind on wall. cell

traveller of the dreary commercial char
acter of modern life. The nickel-pointed

military, the drilled bureaucratic charac-

CIGARMAKING BY MUSIC.
These Manufacturers Have a New
Plan to Make Girls Work.

A cigar manufacturing firm in Trenton
is attracting the attention of the labor
world by certain innovations for pain
tanning order, holding the attention and
increasing the efficiency of the 200 young
women cigarmakers employed in its fac
tory, says the Rutland Herald.
A piano has been placed in the largo
work room. and a young woman is EN-
ployed to play it for two hours each day
To keep the girls off the streets at noon
a teacher has been hired to give free
singing lessons at the factory during the
noon hour.
These innovations in New Jersey and
elsewhere in the Northern states, assert
those we'll acquainted with the cigar
manufacturing industry, have been
adopted generally in Cuba. Nearly every
large factory there has its reader or
musician.
Cigarette factories in Spain, it is said,
are similarly equipped. The reader,
either a man or a woman is employed to
read aloud to employees from the latest
Spanish novels or from the daily news
papers The musician fills the same role
as that of the performer engaged in the
New Jersey factory.
The experience of the Cuban manu-
facturer has been that this method of
claiming the mind of a worker while his
or her fingers are employed is not only
productive of more and better work, but
adds UNNECESSARILY to the good order of
the factory and the good temper and
cheerfulness of the operatives

pale and set, stood by his rope like a
sentinel on duty. And then. as the ele-
vator majestically scared toward the
fourth floor. the irate foorwalker burst
out in a torrent of abuse.

I'll have you dischargedr' and so on,
till Patsy was out of hearing.

tary passenger, who still stood in the
elevator, apparently gazing at his shoes.
He looked up.
I've changed my mind" he said. Il

why didn't you stop for that man be-
low" asked the gentleman quietly as
they We're descending.
"It'sIhis wayr' cried Patsy, glad of a

If Patsy had been looking at the quiet
gentleman he would have seen queer
little smile twist the corners of his mouth
for an instant, but Patsy saw nothing
but the Gear" still waiting grimly for
the elevator, which had now reached the
third floor again.
I've cooked your goose" cried the
man, white with passion. "You-you
young ruffian. I've seen the manager,
and. you are to quit tonight for good 1t

which he was wont to grasp the wire
rope. His manner was that of a knight
of old tiinging down the gauntlet.
III quit right now" he said, haughti-
".
A hand was laid on Patsy's shoulder.
NO, Won won't. You stay right on
here" said the quiet passenger, and his
voice was infinitely kind.
Then suddenly he faced the floorwalk-
er. He seemed to grow inches taller and
his eyes flashed.

The Dandelion and Its Uses.

1t will surprise many. perhaps. to know
that the common dandeliOn, the leaves of
which are often gathered from country
lanes and other places where the plants
grow wild, and taken home for making
dandeliOn tea or for eating as Il salad,
forms one of the salad vegetables sent to
Covent Garden market, and sold in sleeves
or smaller quantities, as required. AL
though it is much-neglected plant in Il
green state by the poor and middle
classes in towns, it has a large sale when
used in pills. the root being utilized. But
for the purposes of salad, here. again.
the professional cooks are responsible for
the increasing demand. as it forms anoth-
er of the many ingredients used TO inn
part the bitterness and flavor 50 neceS-
sary in a well-made salad. From the
general appearance of the roots that are
marketed, it is to he presumed that most
of the plants are cultivated. although the
inferior plants that one sometimes sees
are no doubt collected from country dis
tricts. where they grow in wild state.
1t is the best produce that always fetchcS
the highest price. and this applies even
to so common a plant as the dandei0n Is
considered 20 be. In winter the leaves
are blanched in the same way as other
salad vegetables are. and marketed with
or vii bout the root attached. When they
are marketed root and all. ii is best to
lift them with root fork, as is used
sometimes for lifting carrots in dry
weather. when the roots will come clear

As to other salad vegetables Ii the cul-
tivation Of this plant became more gener-

THE OLD PLAYROOM,

What, paint and repaper the playroom
TO make it look fresh and new
The place that was once such gay room.
The kingdom of Hurlyburloo,
Where the imprints of little fingers
And the jagged rents in the wall
Are the only reminder that fingers
Of the baby who made them all?
Do you see the smudge on the wall, there
In the corner behind the door,
The finger marks, cracks and all, there
Two feet, more or less, from the floor?
Oh, where are those little hands toiling, >
What prize in the world have they gained,
That were guilty of all that soiling,
IN the days when my baby reigned?
The naughty corner its name was,-
The dread Of little lad.
How real his childish shame was
When he had been, oh, so badl
With his face to the lowered paper,
In penitence. there. he stood.
To atone for some naughty caper
Till he promised Now I'll be dood.''
All. dear little blue-eyed codger,
He wearied of standing there
can hear him say: Please, may Roger
Rest, now, in his little red chair?"
DO you think you can add new spendOr
To this room that he filled with Joy?
oh. not while my heart Is still tender
With love for little boy!

MARVELS OF THE WHEEL.
In Some Ways it is the Greatest
Achievement of the Age.

The history Of the bicycle reads like a
fairy tale. Ten thousand years hence
the plainest statement of the facts of its
origin, development. uses it serves. and
the place it occupies in our civilization
will be regarded by the scholars of that
time as we of today regard Platos story
of Atlantis or the fable of Deucalion.
That men and women could sit balanced
on wheel of wire, braCed and corded
like a SPIDERS circular miracle which il
fashions i'll the witching hour of night,
and on 1t sitting, outrun the horse, out
speed the dog, and go flying down wood
ed lanes with the flight of a bird, will be
reck0ned as a myth that haunts the inn
agitation and laughs at the guessing of
the wise.
What for improbability. can equal this
strange and weird creation of mans in
ventiveness! Or what so elusively mock
human belief when once il has passed in
to oblivion and, losing all record as a
fact, has become merely a vague tradi-
ton? And if amid the ruins of some old
library a fragment of a manuscript
should be discovered which told how it
was used by rich and poor alike. how it
was adopted into armies, added to the
splendor of great public pageants, oblit-
Grated castles SO that princes and peas
ants rode side by side in public parks,
contributing Unpopular health and happi-
ness beyond any other single invention of

ment that old-time. long buried document

SALE OF WALNUT.
The Famous Moore Grove Near Bryan
o., Has Finally Been Sold

The Famous Moore Grove Near Bryan
o., Has Finally Been sold.
4 deal has just been made by a Port
Clinton. o., firm, which, had il been
made fifty years ago as a future POSSIBLE
ity, would have been received by the old
settlers with as little credit as would
have been given at that time to the Sug-
gestion Of the telephone wireless teleg-
raphy and similar advantages now en-
jOyed The question with the pioneer
was how TO get rid of the timber, regard
less of quality or kind. in order to get
the ground for cultivation The destruc-
ton Of timber has, however, gone on UNI
til now there is a scarcity, especially of
certain kinds, chief among them being
the walnut. This timber has become 50
valuable for foreign shipment that prices
which now seem almost fabulous are now
paid for fine lots. 4 choice lot of this
timber was growing on the farm of the
late James Moore. near Bryan. Williams
county. During his lifetime Mr.. Moore
had received many liberal offers, but. as
often, refused TO sell Neither money
nor argument could induce the owner to
agree to part with il. 1t seemed to have
become a part of the old mans life. He
could only say with the poet:
WOodman spare that tree,
Touch not a single bough.
passed into the hands of others Then
came a scramble for the timber Through
the efforts of f.. III. Fall. managing part
ner, the firm Of A. Couche x Co. of this
place secured the timber. An interest
ing feature in this purchase is the i'm
mensc size of one of the trees. When
felled, it was found to be s feet in diane
ter at the stump. Photographs of the tree
were taken standing and after it had been
felled, In the latter picture the body is
shown to reach two feet above the head
of one of the choppers standing erect by
the tree when the picture was taken. For
Seventy-four feet the body was suitable
for export logs, and will, alone. make two
carloads for shipment. Even the limbs
of the tree are cut into squares and util-
lied. Some idea can be formed of the
value Of this timber, which was once cut.
rolled into heaps and burned. to clear the
ground, when it is known that the price
paid for this tree was over $1,000. Few
trees of this size, of the walnut, have
been exported and this one will. no doubt,
be viewed with the same interest by for
eign purchasers as by people on this side
Of the water.
