said the advertising manager to the buSi-
ness house manager who had advertised
for a typewriter and bookkeeper
From all over New England" said the
business man. jamnling his pockets full.
But what some of the girls who answer
are thinking of I cannot imagine. Here is
one girl who will come fifty miles to take
a place at So week.
Can you tell much as to their qualifi-
cations by their letteTs?"
Can l.? Well. rather. For instance,
there is the writing; there is the spelling
of the words; there is the way the letter
is put together; there is even the way the
letter IS folded. Ever think that letters
are folded SO as to save time nowadays?''
No, said the advertising man. IT'S
all Lean do to get the stamps to put on
,em. My stenographer folds EN- all right,
guess How should it be done?"
Easy enough, simple enough but fold
ed wrong often enough, said the business
man ,sententiously. IF your typewriter
knows her business, she takes the sheet
and folds it up from the bottom toward
the top. leaving the proper width for the
envelope. then over from right to left and
from left to right-so. Then when your
letter is opened it is right side up See pr
Il See, murmursd the advertising man.
And how many applicants fold their let
tiers that way?"
."Oh, three or four out of a dozen. per
haps. Quite a commentary On business as
she is taught eh?" remarked the bust

Dangerous Handshake.

The French journals have recently given
publicity to a scientific discovery which
may have considerable influence upon
one of the most ordinary usages of social
intercourse. One M. Crouzel a chemist at
bordeaux, has discovered that the human
hand is largely occupied in sowing the
seeds of all sorts of diseases. The hand.
ne says. is not only the most dirty but
the most dangerous portion of our anat-
omy, 1t contains on the average 81. 450. =
600 bacilli Hence, he argues, peopie
should never shake hands We know AL
ready that it is dangerous to kiss: but
now, as French paper puts it, science is
no less hostile to friendship than to love.
All men, however are not equal in this
matter: You must not shake hands with
physician, surgeon, hairdresser or butch
especially pork butcher. Workers
In metal are, however. much less danger
Gus, because the minute metallic particles
form. under the influence of the hand
warmth, an antiseptic oxide 1t is pos
slble, M. Crouzel says, to protect YOUR
self, If you must shake hands, by using
soap and a nail brush for five minutes
plunglng your hand in warm aka line
solution, rinsing it with sterilized water,
DRYING it on a sterilized rough towel and
hnally washing 1t again in solution of
alconol and ether. We commend this pre-
caution to public men in general, and to
the president of the United States in mar
ticular.-London Graphic

BIG FORTUNE FOR AN. IDEA.
Cash for Inventor Of Scheme for Rails
inn Sunken Timber.

IF some scheme could be devised"
said George w. Noble, of Saltwater, at
the Plankinton, by which the sunken
logs which fill the beds of rivers and
creeks in the logging sections of this
country could only be recovered, i'm
mense fortunes would be made. Along
the ST. Croix waters it is estimated that
logs enough are embedded in the sand
of river bottoms to keep mills running
for years. Under present conditions
the loss is total, for no successfui
method has ever been devised to ef-
feet this saving.
Occasionally logs cut years ago are
forced by the washings of the HOODS
from their sand beds and driven upon
the shores, where the action of sun
and wind dries them out sufficiently
SO that they will float down stream, but
the percentage of logs recovered is
small, and millions of dollars worth of
property Is lost beyond recovery until
some enterprising genius invents ma
chine or process to recover the TIM
Der.
"At Saltwater logs occasionally come
to the sorting booms bearing marks
in use half a century ago, and when
they appear the old lumbermen grow
reminiscent of the men who have been
long forgotten, but who were impor-
tant operators in the pioneer logging
days OF Wisconsin ana Minnesota.
mo possible estimate can be made
of the amount of timber thus lost, but
lumbermen estimate that the rivers
of Wisconsin, in the value of logs bur-
led in their sands, have fortunes of
millions of dollars if the logs could
be recovered. Of the billions of feet
of logs floated down your principal
streams year after year percentage
Is lost annually, finding graves in the
sand. Wisconsin has ben one of the
big pine states, and your Chippewa,
Wisconsin, ST. Croix and Menominee
rivers and their tributaries contain for
tunes in sunken timber.
Strange as it may appear, the value
of the timber is not lessened, even
after it has been submerged for half
or quarter of a century. Efforts have
been occasionally made to recover
sunken logs. At one time company
was organized at Saltwater to dredge
streams and thus recover some Of the
timber, but the plan did not work
with any great degree of success, this
method being found too expensive.
Someone will come along some day
