4 Every mother possesses information
which Is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance Of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia q. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.

in the larger, and it will be higher
at the sides of the tubes than in the
middle. This is due to the pressure
of the air on the surface Of the water,
and to what is known as capillary at
traction, this last causing the water
to rise in the sides of the tube.
Now thrust the tubes into mercury,
and an exactly opposite effect will be
produced, as shown in the darker
picture, for the mercury will have a
lower level inside the tubes than out
side, and as 1t has tendency to slip
away from the glass surface rather
than to cling to it there is no capil-
larry attraction, and it falls downward
at the sides and curves upward in
the centre Besides, it will rise high
er in the larger tubes than in the
smaller ones.
Asimilar experiment may be made
with two fiat pieces of glass, placed
together like wedge, and held so
by a broad rubber band, piece of
wood being placed at the top and the
bottom of the open part, as shown
in the illustration
Now dip this wedge into water,
and you will find that the water will
rise higher where the pieces of glass
come together than at the open part,
thus making a curved surface. Dip
it into mercury and the curve will be
reversed, the mercury having a lower
level where the pieces of glass come
together. New York Mail.

American printing METHODS are
being developed by increasing spe-
cialization in mechanism and by the
use Of individual electric motors for
each piece Of machinery A typical
modern plant is that Of the New
York Times. Here the pressroom is
sixty feet below the street level, am
ply ventilated, and its atmosphere
kept dry by chefnico-mechanical de-
vices. The paper is printed on four
octuple Hoe perfecting presses, hav-
ing a total capacity of $4,000 six-
teen-page papers hourly, counted and
folded Each press is driven by a
75-horse power main motor, assisted
by two 10-horse power starting mo-
tors. One press can be used to print
two separate editions, or either half
of the press can be used at will.
There are twelve separate sets of
Kohler push buttons to control each
press, and when a pressman presses
the safety button the motor cannot
be started again except through the
button by which it was stopped The
motors are in PITS beneath the
presses. The operation and speed of
a press are automatically recorded on
a paper roll by means of an appara-
tus invented by Messrs. Winnacott
and Palmer, two of the engineering
staff of the newspaper. Ink is fed
to the rollers by gravity from stor-
age tank. The New York Times uses
about fifty 1400-pound rolls of paper
daily. A new roll can be put on a
press in twenty seconds. The news
papers on leaving the press are taken
by an endless chain conveyor to the
mailing and distributing rooms above.
The composing room is on the six
teenth floor, and contains thirty-eight
linotypes, each driven by quarter
horse power motor. One feed wire
supplies four motors. Gas burners
heat steam for the matrix tables, and
the completed matrices are dropped
to the pressroom on a special lift,
where they are cast on an autoplate
machine driven by 10-horse power
motor. For communication between

bachelor with an intense prejudice
against marriage. His clerk one day

the door. He engaged another clerk
and asked him if he was married.
NO, the clerk replied; but thinking
Williams would regard marriage as a
