TOOL THAT ALMOST TALKS
Yet Its Complicated Mechanism Can
BE Tended by a Girl


BE Tended by "a Girl.
The most highly developed of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine, and, like many another con.
trivance for saving labor, its home is
New England. 1t is a development of
the ordinary steel working lathe, the
intermediate step being the monitor
lathe, in which the various cutting
tools protrude from the side of a steel
turret like thirteen inch guns from a
battleship turret. In the nonautomatic
screw machine the turret is revoived
by the operator so as to bring each tool
into play, just as the turret on the old
Monitor was revolved to bring one gun
after another into action. But in the
automatic machine the work is done
without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts, bolts, studs
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewriters, electrical instru-
ments and other mechanisms all the
''stOck"-a long, thin rod of steel or
brass-to the machine. The feeding
mechanism carries the rod slowly for
ward into the field of action. The tur-
ret advances and puts its first tool at
work on the end of the rod. When this
tool has done its task, the turret with
draws 1t, turns and advances a second
tool into action. Each cutting tool
around the turret has It's distinct work
to perform-one cutting a thread, an
other shaping a head, another putting
on point, another drilling hole, still
another putting on knurling. The tur-
ret automatically brings each of per
haps six tools into action. and when
the work is finished the completed
screw drops into a pan, while the
''stock" is automatically fed forward
to begin the complex operation again.
A stream of machine oil pours contin-
ueusly on the work to carry away the
heat, and the little metal cuttings col
lect in heap under the machine
Hour after hour this wonderful au-
tomaton goes through its cycle of oper-
ations, the turret clicking every mo-
ment as it brings a new tool forward.
Small brass pieces. on which but one
tool cuts. are dropped at the rate of
four a second. Large screws of COM
plicated design upon which a whole
turretful of tools must work are cut
from a steel rcd at the rate of one or
two a minute. So perfectly are these
screw machines constructed that an I'M
skilled workman can operate row of
them. All he is required to do is to keep
them fed with stock" In some shops
girls tend the machines.-Success.

In the first place, the foot naturally
takes that position when it has never
been confined by boots or the ankle
distorted by high heels. Convenience
is also on the side of the natural posi-
ton of the foot in the case of the saw
age, for he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground
In forests. Consequently his progress
would be much impeded if he turned
his toes out to catch these obstacles
instead of brushing them aside and
outward, as he now does Lastly, the
savage uses his foot much more as a
help to his hands than we do, and it
is obvious that in doing this he must
turn his toes in.

Il feel as if l should fly to pieces.
How often those words are on a woman's
lips. They express to the uttermost the
nerve racked condition of the body, which
makes life daily martyrdom.
If this condition had come suddenly il
would have been unbearable But the
transition was gradual. A little more
strain each day on the nerves. A little
more drain each day of the vitality Any
woman would be glad to be rid of such q
condition. Every woman tries to be rid
of it. Thousands of such women have
been cured by DR.. Pierce's treatment with
his 'Favorite Prescription" when loca
doctors had entirely failed to cure.
"Favorite Prescription" contains nc
opium, cocaine or other narcotic.

At the custom house we were obliged
to make deposit of 8 francs 40 cen
times ON each wheel before entering
Switzerland. Since that day faith in
the advantages of higher education has
wavered. There were nine bicycles,
and the government official found the
entire amount of our indebtedness by
putting down $40 nine times and then
adding up. Why should one vex ones
self with the multiplication table when
straight addition combined with I'M
limited time reaches the same result

What Men Like In Men.

Men like In men these traits: The
honor that ennobles. the justice that
tnsures the right, the reasonableness
that mellows and makes plain. the
courage that proclaims virility, the
generous instinct that disdains all
meanness, the modesty that makes no
boast. the dignity that wins respect,
the fineness and the tenderness that
know and feel But when one thinks
of it more carefully may he not sum
1t up In just single sentence and ac-
cept it as the truth that all men like a
gentleman Cosmopolitan.

the art of writing itself. In one re-

At a country house last summer
Aaw quite a unique friendship, writes
q correspondent The cat of the house
hold, a magnificent Persian Tom, goes,
when thirsty, to a large glass bowl in
the drawing room, wherein a goldfish
disports itself, and there seems to have
an interesting tete-a-tete with its finny
friend drinking the others health,
suppose. The lady of the house told
me that a week or two previous to
my visit the cat had been unwell and
eould not be induced to leave its quar-
tiers in the kitchen. 1t was noticed
that the fish also seemed sickly and re-
fused to nibble the crumbs and seed
llngs thrown to it, but not for mo-
ment did any one dream of associating
it's indisposition with the absence Of
the cat When, however, master Tom
appeared on the scene again, with
quite an elastic step, the fish became
itself once more and is now as frisky
as ever.-London Chronicle.

The value of singfng.

From the medical standpoint singing
is a most important exercise both by
virtue of its influence on the emotions,
on the respiratory movements and on
the development of the lungs. Nothing
better shows the beneficial effect of
singing in developing the chest and
warding off the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development and free
dom from pulmonary disease among
professional singers. Their general
health, moreover, is exceptionally good,
and this is probably in a large meas
ure attributable to the mere exercise
of the calling. 1t is especially useful
In defective chest development and in
chronic heart disease Provided the
patient can sing with comfort there is
no condition in which singing is con-
traindicated unless it be q tendency to
tuberculosis or aneurismal h@moptysis.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
singer should be SO clad as to allow
absolute freedom of the chest move
ments, there should be no construction
of the neck or waist, the collar should
be low and ample and the stays, If
worn, ample and loose.
