The "House.workIess" Home.

The progress which is being and
has already been made in eliminating
the drudgery of housework is sum-
married in With the Procession" in
Everybody's, as follows:
DIR. Robert Ellis Thompson, of
Phila delphia, has vision, if we may
apply such word to the well ponder
ed plan of distinguished man of
science. Woman, the home maker
and mother, should not be hampered
by household drudgery. Cooking is a
matter of chemistry, and will be done
by men. All the tedious chores of
housework, washing, dish washing,
scrubbing, ironing, sweeping, house
cleaning-Oh, word of horror to the
ears Of man!-will be done by public
housework concerns. Houses will be
heated from central plant and swept
come from the grand central cookery
or it's nearest branch. Stairs will he
supplanted by automatic elevators.
Washing day will disappear from the
week. Even now many women send
a telephone call for window cleaners
and have their husbands socks"
darned by specialists. In the cities
you have your clocks wound and your
lamps trimmed and tended by outside
experts. In the Norwegian town of
Bergen everybody's food comes from
the town kitchen. In Paris the work
man gets his hot soup from the grand
central dinner kettle. Happy day, IL
it ever comes, when women have no
servants and no household drudgery
to earn wrinkles by! We do not un-
derstand, however, just how woman

escape drudgery now. How are the
poor women to do it?"

The First Aid of Jack.

He was a cherubic youth of four,
with beautiful, blueeyed counte.
nance and an angelic smile-the kind
of boy that honest persons long in
stinctively to kidnap. He sat on the
fence, swinging his heels and hum
ming kindergarten song.
"Oh, you darllng!" cried an impul-
siye young woman, bouncing upon
him and giving him hug. HAS your
mother any more like you? Have you
any little b:others?'
"Yop," replied the angelic boy "got
three. Me and Jack and Billy and
Frank"
Which one do you like best?"
Jack, guess" replied the young
ster after a moment of deep thought.
"Yop, like Jack best"
and why" asked the young wom-
an, do you like Jack best?"
Cause he did such lovely err
rand for me once"
What was that lovely errand?"
"He bit Billy on the leg" replied
the sweetly serious cherub.
Why" pursued the young woman,
didn't you do your own biting?"
"'Cause hate the taste of Billy's
legs" was the calm reply.-Lippin-
colts.

sides of the pans, and when small
grains begin to appear they are fed by
adding fresh syrup until they reach the
required size. When the size is right,
and the water evaporated sufficiently,
the steam is turned off, the pump
stopped, and the mass is allowed to
run into the tanks below, by opening
valve at the outlet In the bottom of
the pan.
The syrup at this stage has the ap-
pearance Of dark molasses, thickened
with graduated sugar, and is SO thick
that 1t will barely run. This is put in
to the "centrifugals." large whirling
drums having their sides perforated,
and lined with gauze. As these ma
chimes whirl around. the sugar rises
along the sides of the drum, and the
molasses is thrown out through the
holes in the sides. leaving the sugar
sticking to the gauze. The sugar 10
washed by spraying cold water and air
against 1t as it whirls, little bluing
being added to give 1t brilliancy. The
machine is stopped and the sugar now
white and moist, Is dropped from the
bottom of the machine and conveyed
to the granulator, where 1t is dried.
This granulator is large horizontal,
revolving cylinder, heated by steam.
While drying is in process. the fine
dust Of sugar Is drawn out by sue
ton blower. The sugar passes out Of
the granulator through screens at the
end, which removes the Jumps. The
sugar is now placed in bags ready for
shipment.
The molasses which has been
thrown from the centrifugals. is either
mixed with fresh syrup and boiled
again, or is boiled alone and once more
passed through the machines. The
brown sugar resulting, is refined by
mixing with fresh syrup.
In all beet factories, chemicals play
an important part, and the laboratory
might be called the heart Of the fac
tory. as 1t is through the agency Of
chemicals that the sugar is extracted

and boiled sugars, are tested, and the
analysis Of every pound of sugar is
known, and every loss located and ac-
counted for. The values Of different
soils and fertilizers for beet growing
are tested. as are also all coal, coke
and limestone used.
At Rocky Ford, in Southeastern Col
orado, is located one of the largest beet
sugar factories in the country. The
buildings are built of brick, and are
surrounded by fine grounds and fine
residences, where some of the officers
Of the company live. Like all other
factories, this one runs day and night,
seven days in week, and only stops
in case of an accident or to clean up.
This factory, on an average, converts
LOO tons of beets into sugar every
twenty-four hours. One ton of beets
will make 280 to 275 pounds of sugar,
and from 100 tons. this means about
$50 tons of sugar each day.-William

She Fearid Tor Her Freight.

Old Mrs. Mercer was not used to
railway travelling. jamie always did
the household errands in town. But
now that jamie was laid up there was
no help for it, and she herself must
take her weekly ingathering of eggs
and get the necessary stores in e1-
change.
She boarded the train at Inst in
some trepidation. All the other pas
sengers looked placid enough, and the
way the conductor went about his
business was truly eassuring-"for
all the world as IL he was on dry
land" she silently marveled, glancing
fearfully from time to time at the
whirling trees and whisklng fences
outside the window. The basket of
eggs ON her knee. gripped tightly with
both hands, was quite forgotten.
You don't think there's going to be
collision to-day, conductor7" she ask
ed, as he stopped at her seat.

you ask such a question:"
well. you see. I'm taking eggs to
town with me, and If they was to get
broke I'd have to go short on my
stores. "-Youth's Companion.

"The time is coming when the
United States needs new markets. The
world may come for our farm pro-
ducts and raw products of the mines
in their own ships. but will not come
in their own ships for the finished
products of our factories. l am

''The completion of the Panama
canal makes line of equal distance
from the eastern to the western shores

we place ourselves in a position to
get our share of the use of the canal.
Not until railroads, encouraged by
I government aid, were built, did the
! commerce OF this country multiply.
/ Likewise not until the merchant ma =
: rine was also encouraged did inter
1 national commerce increase in proper
ton necessary to maintain an equal

will say What care l particularly for
the American manufacturer? That
is his business, not ours Yes. but
no one class of American people was
ever prospered except when all were
prospered.
The United States owns the Phil
ippines, which. plus the Panama ca
nal, plus the merchant marine. would
insure TO the American people more
than the present 10 per cent of the
thousands of millions of trade washed
by the Pacific. Our foreign commerce

carried in our own ships on an aver
age of one-third of the tonnage of 40
years ago"
