EXPERT AS cARINET.MAKEk.
Young Woman of Minneapolis Handles
the Plane and saw.

Ysung Woman of Minneapolis Handles
the Plane and saw.
Minneapolis has a successful cabinet
maker in the person of Miss Helen
Hessser, whose work is equal in point
Of excellence to that of any of her
maJculine competitors. She has set
up her bench in her own apartments
and there she may be found any day
fashioning some artistic piece of work
out Of the rough boards which she pro-
cures from neighboring lumber yard.
Miss Heisser is her own designer and
her work not only shows excellent
workmanship. but originality along
lines that are soundly artistic. Her
work has ranged from an ordinary
kitchen shelf to the finest kind of del
icately wrought little mahogany boxes
and chests of drawers. The young
cabinet-maker has had no assistance,
and the transformation from rough
boards to the polished and carved
work is accomplished wholly by hand
tools. Woods are bought in rough
boards and Miss Heisser even does her
own Veneering. The finest piece of
work turned out last fall is tiny ma
hogany chest of drawers four inches
in height and five and a half inches
in width. This miniature piece Of fur
niture is for mans writing table and
intended for small articles of dress
pins, studs, cuff links and collar but
tons. Quite in contrast to this is a
heavy, solid dark walnut reading table
with a sloping top on which to rest
heavy books. A substantial bench be-
longs with this table. A large cad
handsome piece of work is a screen
six feet in height in three panels. This
was carved and stained green. Some
OF the finest carving has been done on
boxes and jewel cases, but book racks
also afford an opportunity for carving
and work in color. Until this fall she
has been occupied chiefly in teaching.
She took the manual training course
at the central high school and followed
this by course in kindergartening.
While in school she executed several
good pieces Of construction work and
wood-carving, following designs made
by her sister, Miss Marguerite E. Heis-
ser, art teacher at the Moorhead nor
NAL school and formerly a leader of
the Minneapolis art colony. For near
ly two years Miss Helen Heisser taught
manual training at the school for the
feeble-minded at Faribault, giving up
that work last summer.-Chicago

AN INCOMPATIBLE SYSTEM
Is That of transportation In the United
States.

Il That of Transportation In the United
States.
One Of the important factors in the
strength of our industrial position is
the unquestioned superiority of our
transportation system, says Frank A.
Vanderlip in Scribner's Magazine. If
one has fresh in mind the picture of
our luxurious trains, mammoth en-
gines, and, more important still, our
standard flfty-ton freight cars, 1t
makes the Europeans seem like anna
teurs in the science of transportation
when we see their toy cars, small To-
comotives, and generally slow-going
administration. II one looked into the
matter with the eye of an expert,
studying the unit of cost, the freight
charges per ton per mile, or the mil
cage rate for passenger service, and
made comparative statistics of the ton
mage of freight trains and the cost Of
moving them, he would discover a
startling lack of efficiency, both in
Great Britain and on the continent.
Perhaps it is not quite fair to make
comparisons of the average cost of
freight traffic per ton per mile in
America and in Europe, because the
average haul is much shorter there, and
terminal expenses of a haul are prae-
tically the same whatever its length.
The average charge per ton per mile
on all American railroads for all class
es of freight is now less than q of a
cent. If we take the statistics of the
eastern trunk lines alone, that figure
would be cut to about II cent per ton
per mile. 1t compares with "a in
Great Britain, 20 in France, is in
Germany, and "a in Russia. One of
the most remarkable illustrations of
the failure of European managers of
industries to keep pace with the times
is found in a comparison of the eff
ficiency of their railroads with ours
English railroads charge three times
as much to move a ton of freight as
it can be moved for in America. Eng
lish railroad managers have failed to
grasp the economies that are made
possible by heavy traffic, by the use of
engines of enormous capacity and
freight cars that will carry fifty tons.
But if the English railroads have
failed to keep pace with ours, what
can be said of the continental roads?
Short trains, with pigmy freight cars,
each car holding only about eight tons.
make clear to any layman the handi-
cap which high transportation charges
have laid on industry all over Europe.

Easy Enough for Anyone.

On a wager a man at lola is at
tempting to eat one quail day for
thirty days. 1t is inexplicable how the
old delusion that a man cannot eat
one quail day for thirty days holds
its own. Any man can eat one quail
day for thirty days. At Lawrence
some years ago Will Upton ate two
quails a day for more than thirty
days. For the first week or two he
starved himself with the idea that he
must keep up an appetite. After that
he sometimes ate three or four of the
birds in day. Another old fraud on
the public is the belief that horse
cannot pull sack of sand at the end
of a 20O-foot rope. Any cow pony in
Kansas will so off on lope with such
a sack.-Kansas City Journal.

A sum of e1.5OO (sT.5OO) has been
handed over by Sir John Leng, M. p,
to trustees for the presentation Of gold
medals and prizes to scholars attend
ing the Dundee (ScotIand) schools for
essays in literature and science, and
to promote the teaching Of the songs
Of Scotland. Sir John announced the
fact to the citizens of Dundee on their

gifts in recognition of his journalistic
jubilee. He had always admired, he
said, the peculiar beauty and tender
ness Of Scotch songs, and lamented
the danger they were in of being for

MODERN METHODS.

The modern spirit considers nothing
as worthless, but seeks to find what all
kinds of so called waste are useful for.
and utilize it. See how the great
Packing Houses use the hair and the
hide, and the blood and the bone. the
horns and hoofs and every fiber of the
slaughtered beef. This is true of all
modern. manufacturing, and the for
tunes are made out of the former waste
Shall we not use this method with
waste humanity? The churches have
done great work on many lines. The
State has responsibilities too. To-day
many valuable men, because they have
committed some crime, are sent to the
waste pile to be punished and not saved.
There is a valuable man in most of
these, which by the state wisely devel-
oping their hands, heads and hearts.
we can can save to useful life. To-
day the lack of this development. and
the education received from older
criminals turns them back to us con-
tirmed criminals. Parental neglect of
hand and heart is largely responsible
for these being criminals, but the state
confirms them in it.
NeoISld ErlSOn commissioners
should be empowered to use modern
methods of hand and brain to save
every criminal to a useful life, particu-
larry ought this to be done for the
young. We need a great State Juve-
| nile Reformatory,

immoral surroundings and by modern
training of the whole child thus are
sending them out to bless the State.
This they do without help from the
State, and through the voluntary gifts
OF the public. Let the people give glad
~ to save these childrens. Let there
be no waste piles for human beings in
! Georgia, but let her find nuggets of
real gold in every child, or thoughtless
youth. or accidental criminal in her

tie good work of our fireman, backed
by the spl ndid system of waterworks,
