SAFETY FOR WoRkMEN.

How Machine Operators Arc Protect
cd In French Factories.
Consular Clerk Caldwell OF Paris
reports an interesting permanent exhi
hition of practical appliances for pre-
venting accidents to operators Of ma
chimes in French factories. He writes;
"a permanent exhibition of practical
appliances TO prevent accidents to OPP
orators of machines in factories has
been established in Paris at the Con.
scrvatoire DIES Arts ct Meters. This
exhibition WAS officially opened early
In December by NJ. Loubet.
In the exhibition are installed the
more common machines found in fac
tories. The machines are in motion,
and practical demonstration is given
daily by an official In charge The
various machines have been chosen by
the administration Of the conservative
as representative Of their class and are
equipped with the most improved ap
plances for the prevention OF accidents
to the operator.
zone notes FIRST OF all that the ar.
rangements added to, protect the OPP
orator improve rather than lnjure the
appearance of the machines. In every
instance the safety appliances are
graceful ard slightly. AT the same
time they are arranged with the great
est possible simplicity and economy,
and II Is apparent that the improve
mcnts, though Of great value both to
the employer and to the employee,
must add but small per cent TO the
cost OF the machine. A brief recital
OF some OF the more common machines
found III the collection will give com
prehensiye idea of the scope of the
exhibition and the general idea elab-
Grated.
"Fly wheels within the height Of the
operator are surrounded by high
screens OF substantial wirework Ii
the wheel Is small and screen inn
practicable the spokes Of the fly wheel
are hidden by light plates that make
1t impossible for the clothing or per-
son Of the operator to become involved
In the wheel
Horizontal saws ure entirely pro-
tected by an ingenious arrangement
somewhat on the plan OF the sticks Of
ali ordinary fan and can readily be
swung backward or forward to admit
work Of varying sizes. Ribbon or band
saws are incased in angle pieces or
practical boxes wherever Il IS possible
for the operator to come in contact
with the blade
"All gearing TO lathes are inclosed,
aud practical and readily detachable
casing over the end gears permits the
change OF these gears in the screw cut
ting machines
Emery wheels are closely incased
and the operator protected from injury
from the dust and flying particles.
Drills and planning or mortising ma
chimes are protected at all parts, and it
would seem that determined effort
would be required ON The part OF the
operator TO secure injury.
ain spinuing ana knitting machines

Four.Footed Thieves.

In Winchester, England, a grocer
began to miss money from his till,
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de-
teCt the thief, though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store, and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police. An officer who hid under the
counter solved the problem. He
found bits OF paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests of They had entered the till
through a hole in the back and taken
the bills one at time.
The two clerks who had been dts
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages. and the other day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
$500 each.

CHINA THE LAND OF DUCKS.
st,nIs Article of Food for Residents
Of Celestial Empire.

There are more ducks in China
than in all the rest of the word.
China, literally, is white with these
birds. and day and night the country
resounds with their metallic ana
scornful voices.
Children herd ducks on every road'
on every pond, on every farm on
every lake, on every river. There IS
no back yard without its duck mousse
There Is no boat, little or big, with
out it's duck quarters.
Even in the cities Of China ducks
abound. They dodge between the
coolies legs. They fit squawking out
of the way of the horses. Their IN
dignant quack will not unseldom
drown the roar OF urban commerce.
All over the land there are great
duck Matching establishments, many
OF them of a capacity huge enough
to produce $4,000 young ducks every
year
The Chinese duck is extremely ten
der and delicate-the best tame duck
for eating in the world. Duck among
the Chinese is the staple delicacy
It is sailed and smoked like ham or
beef. and duck eggs are eaten as chick
en- eggs are in America.

kAlsER's DIGNITY WAS HURT.
Offended by Shoes Of One Of His Con-
suIar Agents.

The enthusiasm of the good Norwe-
gians for Queen Alexandra is the
more remarkable as, in the matter OF
crowned heads, they have some ex-
cuse for affecting to be blase.
The German emperor, of course. Is
a regular frequenter of the fjords, but
he allows no liberties to be taken
with his sacred person. On one occa'
sion when the Hohenzollern anchored
off little town, the German consular
agent as in duty bound, went aboard
to pay his respects; but, not beins
possessed of a uniform, it did not ap
pear to him necessary 10 appear at

ton OF the consul general at Bergen
TO the solecism, and announced his
intention of ceasing to honor tne

WHEN CUBA WAS FOR SALE.
Offered to France for 100000 In
time Of Louis Philippe.

It Is not generally known that
Cuba very nearly became French
Colony in the reign Of Louis Philippe,
for Spain, being without means OF
raising money, Queen Christina OF
fered some OF the principal Spanish
colonies for sale.
Secret negotiations were carried on
at the Tulleries between Senior cam
puzano, the Spanish ambassador;
Senior Aguado, the banker; Prince de
Talleyrand, and King Louis PhIlippe,
and the first article of the treaty, by
which Spain was to sell Cuba TO
France for 100000 francs, or So
900 900, was quickly agreed to.
But the second article, relating to
Porto Rico and the Philippines, broke
off the negotiations, for Spain asked
s., 100000 whereas France would Of
fer only s1,4O0,000, King Louis Phil
ippe asserting that the acquisition Oh
the Philippines might very easily in
volve him in a war with England.
Il is significant that in those days
neigther party paid the slightest at
tention to what the United States
might think; but the Spaniards must
now regret that they did not accept

millions in the ensuing so years.

A Thanksgiving
c~ss0
THANKS be to Thee, O God I

YIANKS be to Thee, God
" Not that Thou set the darkend sky with light
OF countless stars, framed in soemnity-
But that soul who suffers in the night
Sees star through the windows little pane
And, by that CLEAN of hope first prays to Thee.
Thanks be to Thee, 0 God
For throbbing music which the worlds voice thrills;
But most for melody which sngs, alone
The bird in deepest wood-or song that stills
A child to sleep, far from the grand refrain
OF flames great chorus, chanting well known
Thanks be to Thee, O God
For wondrous beauty which Thou gave the earth,
But most for loneliness in barren sod
A green spot in the parchd grass-the birth
OF pure, sanity life not lived in vais
In haunts Of wckedness which know God.
Thanks be to Thee, O God!
For Autumn harvest have toiled reap;
For love, for home for laughter through tears,
But of all for seeds which, in the sleep
OF Winter wait for and Spring time rain,
Holding potential growth for coming years.
