COMPRESSED AIR CARPET BEATER

stration was, SO satisfactory that inter-

Inc compressed air used was manufac-
tured In the basement by an electrically
driven compressor. It was conducted
through rubber hose to one of the up-
per hoors and thence to the room to be
cleaned. The carpets in the wide corrI-
dor were also given treatment.
The end Of the hose was attached to
what Is called a renovator, which con-
s1sts or nozzle SO constructed that the
air, upon being released rushes through
a narrow slot, 1-64 Of an inch in width.
When this stream of air, escaping under
pressure OF 30 pounds to the square inch,

STERET CAR SERVICE IMPAIRED.

Sundays storm of rain, sleet and
snow at different intervals during the
day had bad effect on the trolley
line between this city and Barre.
Cars ran with great difficulty all
day and early in the evening when
the stonrm changed from snow to
pouring rain trouble was experienced
all along the line. The sweeper was
poyerless to keep the rails clean and
cars were unable to get over the
slightest grades. One car tried to
climb the grade at the State street
bridge, but after trying in vain for
fifteen minutes finally ran back onto
Main street. The streets were filled
with sparks and brilliant flashes of
electricity as the wheels whirled
swiftly around trying in vain to grip
the slippery rails. A number of res
idents of this city We're obliged to re-
main in Barre alp night and several
Barreites spent the night here as it
was impossible late in the evening
for car to run any great distance.
A large force of men was put to work
on Monday cleaning the tracks and
cars soon were running ON schedule

THAT DIAMOND RING.

The $400 diamond ring affair was
again before city court Monday and so
far as Nettie Call is concerned it ap-
pears to be ended for while. Acting
on the advice of her attorney, John
G.. Wing, the girl pleaded guilty to
the charge of having possession of
stolen property and received her sem
tence. She has told so many conflict
ing stories concerning the ring mat =
ter that neither her attorney nor Mr..
Bailey on behalf of the State could
get any very definite idea of the case
For while after she was arrested
she told everyone she had had the
ring, but refused to say where it could
be found. Later she denied having
had the ring at all aud said her form
er stories were all lies.
After taking the various facts into
consideration Judge Woodward SEN
fenced Nettie to the Industrial school
at Vergennes for the remainder of her
minority, she being sixteen years old.
She is considered none too strong
mentally and it is thought she did
not appreciate what she was doing in
having the stolen property. Judge
Woodward in pronouncing sentence
upon her gave her some wholesome ad-
vice against telling contradictory
stories so that people would lose con-
fidence in her.
y The men who stole the ring are now
in State prison, and the girl who
admits she had the ring from one of
the persons that stole it, will go to
Vergennes today or tomorrow, but
still the jewel is kept out of sight
and Mrs. Nicholas is still mourning
its loss Nettie refuses to tell any
thing about where the property is and
the men denied having had any ring
at all.

Wages in Olden Times.

wages In Oldon Times
Bricklayers and stonemasons were
among those whose daily wage was
fixed at 33 1-3 cents by order of the
general court of Massachusetts, in 1880
The colonial bricklayer had done little
up to that time but build fireplaces
After the fire in Boston on March 16
1881. the governor ordered that no more
wooden chimneys should be built, and
from that order the bricklayers expert
enced boom. Ten thousand brick had
been imported from England to Massa-
chusetts in 1929 to be used for fire.
places These were quickly absorbed
as result of the "brick-chimney" or
der, and the brick kiln which had been
established that year in Salem had an
ample market.
Virginia had made brick and used
them for chlmneys as early as 1872. A
free" bricklayer's wages in that col
ony at that time was $50 year and

of child labor, reports the Magazine of
Social Service. They have put into
effect an agreement that no child IN
der IL years of age, excepting children
of widowed mothers, or physically dis
abled parents without other means OF
support, shall be allowed to work in
mills, unless certificate is shown Of
school attendance for four months IN
the year. 1t Is also agreed that no
child under 10 years of age shall be al
lowed to work in mills either day or
night. The following paragraph. added
to the general agreement on child la

Tho Old SAINT. Fe Trail.

It wound through strange SCARED hills,
down canons lone
Where wild things screamed, with winds
for company;
Its mile-stones were the bones Of pio-
neers.
Bronzed, haggard men, often with thirst
a-moan,
Lashed on their beasts of burden toward
the sea-
An epic quest It was of elder years.
For tabled gardens or for good, red gold,
The trail men strove in iron days OF old
To-day the steam-god thunders through
the vast,
While dominant Saxons from the hurtling
trains
Smile at the aliens, Mexic, Indian,
Who offer wares, keen-colored, like their
past
Dread dramas of immitigable plains
Rebuke the softness of the modern man
No menace, now, the deserts mood OF
sand;
Still westward lies a green and golden
land.
For. at the magic touch of water, blooms
The wilderness, and where OF yore the
yoke
Tortured the toilers into dateless tombs,
10! brightsome fruits to feed mighty
folk.

Metal Contractors association and
Sheet Metal Workers union, No. 70, is
in force. Ever since the lockout of two
years ago in the building trades COM

competency of the workman" Both
parties commended that it was their

DEGREES OF FASHION.
Latest Modes and Designs That May Interest the
Fair Sex.

The leading idea Of reform in wom-
ans dress is that every garment ought
to fit according to the natural lines OF
the figure, without any impeachment,
without pinching or exclusion of free
air that is supposed to penetrate as
freely as possible through the cloth
ing. l am afraid that elegance will be
the sufferer for some time to come, for
the medical celebrities, who are think
ing only of the practical side and wish
ing to give relief to their patients sur
fering through their mode Of dressing,
leave it to those whose profession 1t is
to think how to introduce their
planned reforms into practical use. Yet
this form of suffering Of elegance Will
only wear so long as fashion ignores
those reformatory views. II the lead
ers of fashion would take the reform
of woman's dress in hand and go IN
boldly for it, breaking with the tradi-
tions of high collars and pinched
waists, Louis Quinze heels. wells, etc.,
the dawn of the reformed woman's
dress would quickly come, the scale
would turn in accordance, and the fash
ion of to-day would be scorned by
those who are now it's warmest follow
ers and adorers-Princess Ysenburg in

In Relation to Slippers.

Winter brings balls and therefore a
demand for dancing slippers, which
now can be had in selections Of many
kinds and many colors. The first slip
per in the illustration is of black vel
vet studded with steel and cut with an
exceedingly smart toe; indeed. the
form is so good that it proves most be-
coming to the foot. Gold tinseled
cloth in place Of shoe leather has the
advantage that 1t will go with any
dress, and the one illustrated is dain-
tily embroidered about the toe and is
rendered all the more suitable to dane
ing by the strap across the instep,
which keeps it on securely without any
fear Of its slipping off at the heel. The
variety in the ornamentation Of even
ing shoes lies principally in the treat
ment Of the instep, and an uncommon
method is shown in our third model,
