keep it," During his testimony Mr. Din
key referred several times to the state
mcnts made before the committee two
weeks ago by Mr.. Johnson, superintendent
Of the Bethlehem Steel Company's works.
Mr.. Dinkey agreeing with the latter gen
tleman on every point.
Intricncies of Plate Milking.
In showing the committee the absolute
impossibility Of complying both with the
eight-hour law and the Government S
specifications regarding armor plate, he
said one Of the most important steps to
be considered was the excellence Of he
plate and the work OF temperinE- It seems
that the plates are required 20 be heated
in certain way. sometimes hotter on one
side than the other. often uniformly
heated. and also heated to within a very
few degrees OF 4 predetermined tempera-
ture. When this point is reached, there
are a very few minutes margin between
what viii result in a perfect plate OF a
failure
This operation" said Mr.. Dinkey. al
mast always consumes more than eight
hours. and I believe the best interests of
quality are taken care OF by having the
person who undertakes the work at tie
start remain responsible for il at the
finish"

Men We'll Satisfied.

Mr.. Dinkey declared that the men on
duty az his works were perfectly satisfied
with the hours as at present arranged. He
said many Of the employees had been in
service at the Homestead Works from ten
10 fifteen years and that many of the men
on the twelye-hour shifts could rot be
considered young ones. He told of one
man who had held the same position for
twelve years and continued 10 work I'D
20 his cightieth birthday. He said that
he was personally acquainted with all OF
the men and knew intimately their cir
cumstanCes and sourroundings.
They all recognize" said Mr. Dinkey.
that industry and thrift are stepping
stones TO promotion in the various
branches of our work, and 1 think the
operation Of a compulsory eight-hour law
would change all this and bring as much
ruin to the individual as # would 10 the
quantity and quality Of the output"
Labor saving Machinery Used.
He said while all the men were on duty
twelve hours in the rolling and steel melt
ing mills, they were relieved from per
forming much fatiguing labor owing to
improved machinery and methods now in
vague. the work at present being carried
on almost entirely by machinery, He ex-
planned to the committee that in nearly
every case the chief men in the various
crews at Homestead were old employees,
having advanced 10 their present posi-
tiOns by promotions from small begin
nings. and that those holding positions
as rollers and heaters earned from SO
10 SIS a day
Wage Reductions Would Follow.
There is an item" he added. which
perhaps speaks as well as any detail Of
wages that could be given-the aver
age earnings or the employees OF Home
stead. excluding the officers Of The works
for the year 1901. I had our chief clerk
make this figure for me, and ind it to be
S2.73 per day"
In conclusion Mr.. Dinkey said that
from his experience with the men under
him. they would be opposed TO the enact
ment Of an eight-hour law as the inevi-
table result would be a reduction IN their
wages.

The Size of the Head,

Professor Pearson. biologist. has
renewed the investigation into the
question of the relation between size
Of head and intellectual preponderance.
II the workingman has smaller head
on the average than the professional
man, Professor Pearson points out that
the difference is due to better nutri-
ton. But apart from such a wide
comparison he arrived at stricter con-
clusions by the investigations of meas
urements made on Cambridge under
graduates whose careers Were known.
The results given show that there is
no marked correlation between ability
as Judged by entry for an honors ex-
animation and the size or the shape Of
the head. When schools were selected
for testing the question essentially SIM
liar results We're obtained A third
series Of researches of wider extent
resulted in the conclusion that very
brilliant men may have head slightly
larger than the average, but Professor
Pearson adds that the Increase is so
small that it cannot form any element
in our judgment of ability.

Cold AN Infectious Disease.

Nansen and his companions during
the three years that they We're in the
Arctic regions, never caught cold
yet they We're exposed to cold. fatigue
and wet feet, and generally wet to a
degree which any one who lives in q
warm home cannot realize. Their
clothes were so saturated with perspir-
alton that they froZe by day into, a
solid mass of ice, and even cut into the
flesh. At night when they get into their
sleeping bags, to use the correspond
ent's words, "the first hour was spent
in thawing, and they lay shivering un-
til their clothes became wet and soft
and eventually comfortable and
warm" Yet these men, exposed in
this way, never got cold, nor did their
health suffer In any way from the
exposure. OF course they were all
very strong men. They were able to
Withstand the cold in the Arctic re.
gions, but when they reached civili-
zation they all caught cold. Nansen's
deduction from this is, in his own
words. there is, of course, no doubt
that cold is an infectious disease"

Consular Clerks.

The recent appointment of con-
sular clerk under the Department of
State has called attention to the Pc
culiar status of those Offices The law
provides for thirteen consular clerks
and fixes their pay for the first five
years of service at $1,000. but allows
them actual expenses when travelling
or serving in foreign lands, which is
usually the case. They are appointed
by the President and serve practically
for life. The statute governing their
tenure provides that a consular clerk
shall not be removed from office ex-
cept for cause. stated in writing. which
shall be submitted to Congress at the
session first following such removal"
This is the only instance in the history
Of the United States where the House
of Representatives has a direct interest
in an office in the executive branch OF
the Government. In practically all
Presidential appointments the concur
renee of the Senate is essential, but
this is the only case where Congress
as Il body has an interest.-Washing-

A Dollar by Mail.

Possibly, said the man who knocks
around among all kinds of people
there axe postal employees who are
not trustworthy. but they are few and
FAR between. An instance came un-
der my notice recently showing that !
am right. I was talking to a friend
about the last case of untrustworthi-
hess that the papers had been talking
about. when he took from his pocket
an odd-lookins tri1lket apd handed it to
me. 1t was a small circular thing,
with postage stamp on one side, and
the other was completely covered With
round piece Of white paper on which
his name and address Were written in
small letters. The stamp bore the
Government cancel. A brief investiga-
ton showed me that it was silver
dollar, stamped on one side and ad-
dressed on the other. and it had come
through from one of the extreme south
ern Florida pOstOtficeS to the New York
fostoffice and had been safely deliv-
cred to him. OF course. every en-
p1oye through whose hands it had
passed knew what it was and it would
have been an easy matter for some
one of them to have slipped it into
his pocket: but no one had been weak
enough to pinch it and it had made
lis long journey in safety. New York

A Faithful Widow.

At Charenton lives a lady who. on
April 80, 1894, was left widow. Her
grief for her dear departed was SO
to such an extent that every year, when
the anniversary of her husbands death
comes round, she attempts to commit
suicide. Seven times had she done SO
and seven times had she been pre-
vented from carrying out her object.
Yesterday she lit her chatting dish for
the eighth time and again the neigh
bors rushed into the room in time to
prevent the rash act When restored
to consciousness the woman exclaimed,
MY darling, you won't lose anything
by waiting. Wait until next year.

Uncovered Coal is Costly.

II load of coal is left out Of doors.
exposed to the weather. say, for a
month. ii loses one-third of it's heat
ing qualities. IL a ton of the coal In
placed on the ground and left there
and another ton is placed under a shed,
the latter loses about twenty-five per
cent. Of it's heating force, the former
about forty seven per cent. Hence 1t
is a great saving of coal to have it In q
dry place, covered over on all sides.
The softer the coal, the more heating
power it loses, because the volatile and
valuable constituents undergo a slow

monkeys and a troupe of pohfds. 'sAt
first thought, that does not seem like
much to GLOW for years work. but
bit wheh you consider the length of
tine its4hkes to make one animal per-
feet inlbis specially. the size of the job
is apparent.
I'VE have had our greatest trouble 50
far with the ponies. 1t is remarkable
fact that of all the animals which
come under the hand of the rainer the
horse Is the most difficult to teach.
Dogs, monkeys. cats and elephants
have quite largely developed rspsoning
powers. ThisAs.,of course. particularly
true in the casesof the elephAf1ty. ~ You
show a dog what you want hifhsfp do.
and handle him in a proper manner, SO
as not to destroy his spirit, and in nine
cases out Of ten he will take to his
trick as naturally as a duck to water.
Every step in the progress Of teaching
linn even the simplest thing has to be
gone over and over until it has become
matter of instinct for him to do the
things taught him. each at its given
other hand, to go off in room by HIM
self. and go through his performance
without a word of command purely
for the 1--we of it, f,.s.
.'An old trainer friend of minef by
the way. had a dog that developed Il
trick of his own. which put thousands
of dollars into his owners pocket You
may possibly have seen it. The dog
climbs ladder. thirty.f five feet, high,
fires Il pistol from the: tQps ana then
jumps into the arms of hik sn,,rstsr on
the stage below Well that dog al
ways slept with a caretaker outside
the high wire fence in which the other
dogs We're confined when the troupe
was in quarters. until the owner Of
the troupe decided that it was unwise,
and had him locked up with the others
every night. In the morning. when
the man awoke, that dog would be
found regularly in his accustomed
place. no matter how carefully he had
been shut up the night before On in
vestiga ton, they found that the dog
climbed the wire netting. just as
man would a ladder and from the top
jumped to the floor. His owner de-
cided to transfer his energies in that
direction to another field, and large
profit was the result. for the trick
made one of the biggest hits in the his

The Kitchens Surroundings.

The surroundings of the kitchen. in
Guiding the fittings and furniture
should be simply arranged. Some non
absorbent paper or a tiled surface
should be used on the walls. The
woodwork should have polished oiled
surface, or should be varnished. AS
little furniture as is necessary, and
that of a simple utilitarian make,
should be the rule. There must be no
rugs or upholstered furniture of any
Kind. except possibly a pad to rest the
tired feet on, and this. must be some
thing $50 light that it is easily shaken
free from dust and cleaned. Devices
OF any kind which hang on the wall
gather more dust than is desirable.
The lighter and the simpler any kitch-
en- utensil is the better. providing it
faS the need that calls for it. The
most important requisite OF cook ing
utensils is that they be made of a
metal that is good conductor Of heat
