Increasing evidences that the cause

ing been thoroughly converted by its
practical workings" says the House
keeper. New Zealand was never so
prosperous AS now and the interest
manifested by her women citizens in
the welfare of the colony is evidenced
by their active participation in pub
JIG affairs. The compilation OF the
electoral rolls In New South Wales
shows that about 100000 men and 2S5,
D00 women are qualified to vote at the

THE "olL sLlNegR" MACHINE.

More than half of my life ago the
cashier of bank tapped on the win
dow as l was passing and motioned
me in. lie was a stockholder in
factory and offered me a place had
been seeking. That was Thursday
afternoon and the last day of high
school for me. The next morning at
seven o'clock / stood by big chuck
as one of seventy workers. My cloth
ing was not suitable for any machine
and the chuck machine was the worst
one on clothing. The boys smiled and
predicted a change in my appearance
very soon. My work was to knurl the
head of the long screw which moves
the jaw of a monkey wrench. In
those days the chuck had To be stop
ped and started for each screw; as
1t started up the oil began to fly and
the faster the chuck revolved the
greater the penetrating power of the
oil when It hit me. In order to do the
work l had to get in the way of the
oil; did the work but traced the oil
the screw which came to me loaded
with it. The oil was secured in the
thread cutting machine where a
steady stream ran on the die. some
would have seen all this at first
glance without thinking. but I did
not; even studied the bearings as
the source of the trouble. before find
ing 1t on the screws. When did find
the place OF the trouble put bunch
of waste there and laid the screws on
1t before putting them in the chuck;
the waste drew the oil off and the
machine lost its name. The machine
lost its name because l was dissatis-
fed with conditions. began tracing
the trouble and found the remedy.
When a former workman at that
chuck visited the factory and asked
where oil had gone to. on being told
the plan he opened his eyes and said
nothing. He may have been thinking
about the amount of oil he had taken
home on his clothing. There are both
big and little opportunities in every
shop and factory for better methods
and originality, mutually useful to en-
ployer and employe.

Texas Finds a Remedy.

Fate. Tex. Sept. 21st.-Texas has

Kidney diseases. This remedy has

The ReIon Of the Tall Woman.

We are told that the reign of the
tall and magnificent woman is over.
and that the dainty, fairy-llke, viva
cious little person is in favor (says
The Lady,. This change in taste, II
it exists. is due to the dressmaker and
the short skirt. The tall woman is
not on the shelf. Through the power
of fashion she has learned how to
look short, Trailing skirts give height.
The short skirt takes II away. 1t is
far more matter of art than nature.

ON NEGLECTED. SUBJECTS.

Carl went south and made some
money, then came back to his old
village home, purchased a central
block of land, and this is what it was
and what he did to 1t.
dramatic man, by buying several
houses and lots, secured the whole
block for his residence. He spent
good deal of money on the place,
then abandoned 1t. When Carl Sc
cured the property it was a wilder
ness of undersrowth of an unlimited
variety. 1t had a good brick barn
and greenhouse. which had been rent
cd for a dwelling. Carl lived in that
while he tore down part of the big
place.
The best part of the residence was
sold and removed. With gang of
men and horses he cut down trees.
dug up shrubbery and plowed the
ground for grading and seeding.
At the end of a year or so he had
up modern house and was living
in 1t. One day while passing the place
with my father, said to him that
would like to clean up some subjects
the same as Carl had done to that
place. Father replied that such a
thing would be possible.
There are so many good stories
about Carl in my memory that It is
I. sign of brain gain on my part to
be able to stop here and use the above
one for what l intended 1t.
As another suggestion, please let
me say to you that together we might
so at some subject which is now in
the dark and by union study let day
light in on it.
While / have some subjects listed
1t might be better for you to think
little and make the first move after
this Introduction.
What do you want to know which
you would be willing others should
know?
am willing to live in barn while
clearing up an overgrown subject and
grading for improvements.
How can we prevent errors and mis-
takes mutually expensive to buyer
and seller, to employer and employe,
to publisher and reader?

SOURCES AND ELIMINATION.

Nearly five years ago took two
earnest men of intelligence to a room
in which was blackboard. and on
that blackboard we three tried to draw
an outline on the sources and elimina-
tion of trouble. One of the young
men copied the attempt and later lost
1t. He tried to reproduce it from mem
ory, but never succeeded l will give
it as near as ! can with additions.
The sources Of trouble are ignorance,
sickness, idleness. carelessness. dis
honesty, lack of training. laziness, in
competency. intemperance, misfor-
tune. disobeying law, morbid curios-
ity, gluttony and an unbridled tongue.
The elimination of trouble is to come
about by education. physical culture,
industry, diligence. righteousness, en-
ergy-growing, skill-acquiring, keeping
away from crowds. attending to your
own business while helping those who
are not able to return the compliment,
carefulness and forethought, good
shoes for your feet and healthful lit
erature for your head.
should be added to either of the above
lists, and as you look back to your
younger days, also give what you con-
slider the primary sources of desirable
forces? What part of your early life
has proven most useful later on?
