ually sank until the hour of his death

months and was one of the most
efficient of Mr.. McGrew's clerks. He

it is most desired. This trouble par
ticularly applies to the use of the
wringer on stationary tubs which, be-
cause of their size, often interfere with
the complete revolution Of the handle.
A reciprocating handle for the wiring
er has been brought out, the design
and invention of woman, which has
the advantage of making the wringer
very flexible in its application. The
new feature consists of a mechanical
movement which is separated from the
wringer frame and rails, the connec-
ton being made by means of a link
chain. The driving MECHANISM, instead
Of being revolving fandle, is recip-
rocating wheel which imparts CON
tinuous motion to the rolls by very
ingenious spring continuance. The ar
rangement of the intermeshing teeth
now existing in the wringer is preserv-
ed, and the power transmitting chain
passes over one of these gears and I'M
der the other. AS the handle is press
ed down the chain is in action with the
gear of one roll and as the handle is
brought up the spring referred to
throws the chain on, the teeth of the
other roll and so on continuously 1t
will be readily seen that By this ar
rangement a regular and continuous
motion is given to the wringer rolls.

Charm Of ct.c.. L.sa

There is charm, a fascination,
about circus life that is hard to ex-
plain" said veteran Snowman. cit is
surely a tough existence, being buffet
ed about from place to place, often
without a bed to sleep in, and the
wages, outside of the salaries paid to a
few stars, are amazingly SMALL Yet
when man once gets taste of circus
life it's all up with him. He's never
good for anything else and never wants
to be. There must be a germ, bred of
the sawdust, that gets into the blood.
Take the canvasers, for instance. They
get $40 a month and their board, which
usually consists of bad grub and ali inn
promptu bed in a wagon. Often they
don't take their clothes off for weeks
at time. There's one fellow l know
who possesses more than the average
intelligence. He has a trade, and dur
ing the winter he makes on an average
$50 week, and yet just as soon as the
circus season opens he throws up his
job and goes out on the road with a
show for $40 q month. In almost every
town the management is besieged by
men and boys who want to go along,
and many of them offer their services
for their board. It's a queer state of
affairs. '-Philadelphia Record.

Bad TEMPERED Women.

1t is said that IL bad tempered WON
an can cause more actual unpleasant,
ness for the rest of humanity than all
the other disagreeable features one
finds in life, and the unlucky possessor
of an uncontrolled temper can easily
drive to ruin or to other women the
men whose misfortune it is to move in
her orbit. The average man prizes per.
manent peace and content above the
happiness of possessing a beautiful
attractive creature for a wife, and he
knows that bad tempered woman
and peace go not together. He admires
spirited woman. but he knows that
correspondingly strong will goes
along with strong character and he
expects her to exercise it. The woman
who can control herself under the most
trying circumstances is the woman
who holds the strongest power over
men. No matter how beautiful and
clever and fascinating the bad tenn
pered woman may be or how lengthy
her bank account, her power is infin-
itesimal compared with that of her
amiable sister.

Profitable Politenes..

The custom house nuisance can be
greatly abated by knowledge of for
eign manners" says an experienced
traveller. "Politeness is not absolutely
thrown away even on American Gus
tom house officials, and in France it is
three-quarters of the battle. The whole
secret of getting easily and comfortably
through the douane lies in the greatest
possible politeness and the least posi-
BILE appearance Of furry Pardon, mon
sieur; 81 vous aurez la bonte,' etc., is a
safe prelude to happy and rapid re-
lease. If you have nothing to declare
say SO at once and at the same time be-
gin to open your bags and boxes. In
nine cases out of ten this will have the
effect of making the officer chalk all
your boxes without a word. A little
joke, too, about the absurdity of i'm
porting anything into SO perfect coun-
try as France or some such mild lest
Will often so far to put you on the best

all things be polite. Remember that in

Small Plastic judgments.

That insects think is the belief of a
French neurologist who has been MAX
ing careful observations of ants and
bees. He thinks that between the
ideas of the naturalist who regards in
sects as mere automatons and those of
the man who treats them as humanity
intelligent, there is happy medium Of
common sense, and this he has tried to
attain. His observations teach him
that, although most of the acts Of in
sects can be explained by instinct,
there remain what he calls small
plastic judgments" by which they
avoid difficulties and steer their way
beyond dangers The directive faculty
OF bees especially and their wonderful
memory for places can hardly be ex-
planned on the theory of automatism.
