Girls Work at the Forge.

There is a sturdy smithy at Leeds,
England, who has eight muscular
daughters, all Of whom he has trained
to assist him at his work. At present
four are at work in his shop. The 9th
er four welded the hammer for sever.
al years and then left the business to
take up the duties of running homes OF
their own. Every day these four
daughters of the master smith are to
oe seen at the anvils following the
trade Of their fathers. They are up
early and spend the working hours in
making gas hooks-broad bent nails,
which are used by plumbers for fast
ening gas pipes to walls. 1t is not
such hard task, yet the work requires
great patience and enduring strength.
The heavy part of the work is per-
formed by machine worked with the
foot. After the mechanical device has
finished its labors the fair blacksmiths,
with sleeves rolled up, put the finish
ing touches on the hooks with hand
hammer and get them ready for mar
ket. The girls are fond of their work.
They toll on a piecework basis, and
the ingenious blacksmith calls each o

Woes Of the Newly Rich.

Reports from all the summer resorts

of the country's great prosperity has
been to send small army of the new

they are crOwding out the old summer
visitors. Nothing so impresses one

houses accustOms herself TO the new
conditions. No matter what her for.
mer station, in nine times out of ten
she will grace the drawing room with
an elegance and charm supposed to be
acquired only Though generations of
wealth and culture. The men, on the
other hand. seldom change to any
great extent If they have been ac.
customed to eating with their knives
they usually continue to do so, and the
fact that silver now supplaDts steel
adds relish to the operation Nowhere
is this illustrated better than at the
summer hotel. How really pathetic it
is to see some smartly gowned matron
vainly endeavor to make her husband
appear as though he had been coming
down to dinner in a tuxedo all his

The Safe Keeping of PoisOns.

System is q useful thing to have in
a house, and in nothing is it more
necessary than in the proper disposi.
ton Of poisonous substances. A poi
son in the wrong place can do so
much damage that it is of the highest
Importance to confine it to its pro- :
area.
1t is not enough that all bottles Of
poison should be labeled with a skull
and crosS-bones, for in the dark, or in
half-li Int, these devices are not no.
ticed, and the bottle is likely to be
mistaken for medicine.
Some druggists have adopted the ex.
pedient Of using a triangular or hexa-
gonal bottle for such liquids, the unu-
sual shape Of it being a sufficient pro-
lection against carelessness by night
or day. If the housewife will only Sc
cure few such receptacles, and take
care that they are never used for any
thing but poisons, and that polsons are
always kept in them, she will save her
self some danger and considerable
worry and bother.
1t is a good thing, also, to have a
special shelf in ones cupboard for
these things, and select one which is
too high up for the children to reach.
Another useful device is list Of an.
tidotes pasted up somewhere, so that
1t will not be mislaid or lost, and will
always be readable if it happens to be
wanted in a hurry. Information such
as this is almost always wanted in a
hurry, and in such circumstances pa
pers and books have way Of slipping
into some corner where they are in-
visible to the frantic seeker. - New

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Resume authority give over senti'
mentalism.
1t is only the empty purse which is
always open.
All the grapes out of our reach are
not sour grapes. Reach for them.
Work is mans noblest heritage-an
excellent sentiment TO keep in mind
as long as you've got to work anyway
A definition of truth: All which has
not been proved false, and much OF
this even may net be truth 100 years
from now.
Only those who have sympathized
with others in the hour of need have
the right, in their hour Of trouble, TO
expect comfort and help.
Instinct, inclination, conscience and
will combined cannot keep one in the
right path; knowledge must be soughr
and applied, and this continually.
How often ignorance and conceit are
stronger than wisdom. An accident
happens to fool and he has not sense
enough to know that he is hurt and
goes calmly on his way.
Love can know no greater bitterness
than the knowledge that its object is
in some grave way unworthy of love
Yet true love, under some circum'

There is a large Newfoundland dog
and crow in Ridley Park at Chester,
Pa, that are on speaking terms with
each other. The crows name is jim,
and the dog, q handsome animal, is
Rover. Both are owned by julius c.
Smith, head landscape gardener for
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
When Mr.. Smith first took the bird
home, the crow espied Rover, and
few from its new masters hand and
lit on the dogs back. At once thers
seemed to be a mutual understanding
between dog and bird, the former
"bow.wowing" in affectionate manner,
and the latter "caw-cawing" and re.
