Should Be Repaired.

The city authorities shonld take some
steps toward the repair Of the street at
the intersection OF Conduit and Duke oI
Gloucester streets, where the Mack brick
paving has risen and arched itself to the
height of over a foot. This state Of
affairs occurred several weeks ago, and
since that time traffic has been greatly
inlerfered with. The election is over.
which was said to have delayed the re-
pairs, and now there seems to be no
reasonable excuse why they should not
be made. Faulty engineering and the
failure TO place expansion joints al Certain
points OF the street paving are said to be
responsible for the damage. At any rate
the repairs to the new streets have need
lessly cost the city large sums of money
and the taxpayers will hold those re-
sponsible 10 account.

With such an enormous population
and so little to do, it is not astonishing
hat China's industrial system is the re-
suit of q constant effort Ito make work"
instead of to save work. as we do.
For example, in China the grain crops
are harvested with little hand sickles.
and the sheaves after being cured are
carried in bundles by women and chill
dren and spread out for threshing on the
great floors like those described In the
Bible.
The grain is threshed out Of the straw
by treading on It, or by being rolled with
heavy stone rollers. The straw is then
forked of, and the grain is swept up into
heaps with hand brushes. while 1t Is win

shovelfuls and allowing the wind to
blow the chaff away.
The mills for grinding are OF two
kinds, those in which heavy stone roll
ers revolve over stone tables, and the
other where the upper and under mill
stones are used. In the latter case the
lower stone is anchored to the table.
while the upper turns on it, sometimes

family, whose falling strength or poor
eyesight make It impossible to do the
heavier or finer work OF the household.
The wheat after being ground is
poured into an ordinary sieve, that is
made to slide In grooves over q box
which a man seated on stool on one
end Of the box jerks back and forth until
only the bran is left. This primitive
method serves instead of the American
boiling machines used in our mills.
Although Chinese labor is SO remark

UNLOADING WATERMELoNs.

Catching.

play BALI" said stalwart looking
young man standing on big truckload
Of watermelons backed up to the curb
In front Of the store at which the melons
were to be delivered. and moment later
he had tossed the first big and solid green
globe to a man standing in the middle Of
the sidewalk, who tossed it to a man
standing at the front Of the store, where
the watermelons were to be piled, says
the New York Sun.
And then these three men kept the
watermelons going through the air till
the whole load had been transferred
from the truck and stacked up in q pile
at the store door, This is the common
way In which watermelons are unload
ed, and in which they can be shifted a
good deal quicker than they could be
by picking them up and carrying
them in.
It is strenuous work, and work that
calls for skill, too, tossing and catching
watermelons; but the men that handle
watermelons handle many loads thus
and get well accustomed to the work In
the course of the season, and they trans
fer load after load without misbep.
But even an expert watermelon catch
er may mum q ball occasionally, and
when he does they never stop to gather
up the fragments. It Is quite beyond
repair.
