Better Pay for Soldiers.

General Funston makes an earnest
plea for the increase of the pay of
the officers and privates of the regu-
lar army. He declares that the Off
GERS of lowest rank receive less pay
than many laborers, and even less
than some hod carriers, and that this
should not be the case. He asserts
also that If the pay of the privates
were increased 1t would be easier to
get and retain recruits for the army.

The blouse consists of the fronts
and backs and has the great merit of
allowing a choice in the closing, as
1t is so constructed that the opening
can be made at either back or front
as best liked. The fronts are extend

Wax Figures.

The best wax figures in the world ars
made in New York. One firm here has
two to show in its store. Each Of these
figures cost 5000. They are made entirely
of wax and are the exact counterperts OF
two famous New York models. The first
figure was sculptured after French girl
Almost the only difference between tho
little French model and the polite, dainty
figure in wax Is that the girl Of flesh end
blood has dark hair and the hair Of tho
wax figure is yellow. The second figure
10 that of an American woman. Her fig
ure and the soft pink flush of the SKIN
seem almost perfect. The woman who
stood for the model of this one was said
to have the best American figure In New
York.-Boston Journal.

A SEAMLESS TUBE.
There Arc Three Operations ~
Which 1t May Be Made.

There Arc Three Operations ~
Which 1t May Be Made.
Henry Souther said at a recent meeting
Of the National Association Of Mechanical
EnRinecrs that the scientific and technical
designation of q tube, whether scanned OF
seamless, depended solely upon the tubs
itself and not upon the process followed
In Its manufacture. Referring to the dto-
tionary you will find that the word "seam'
less" means without seam, which conveys
no light upon the subject. Turning to the
word "seam," it Is found that 1t Is defined
as a Joint, suture, or line Of union and here
In the last term we find the key. A tube
tointed in any way cannot be seamless. II
in the primary stages of its manufacture
1t be Lap, butt or lock jointed, 1t cannot
| by any subsequent operation be deprived
Of the seam and therefore cannot be con-
sidered when completed as being seamless
A strictly seamless tube may be made
by any one of three operations-frst, q
billet may be by successive steps punched
| into tho form of tube with extremely
thick sides, and these may then by the or
binary drawing processes be reduced to
tube with thin walls; next, the billet may
be bored or the blank may be cast with a
hole in it and in either case then drawD
to the required dimensions; thirdly, the
tubo may be made by the cupping process,
| which consists in taking a disk OF the
metal, forming it into cup shape, grad
ually elongating the cup and reducing IL
In diameter and finally by this means pro-
| ducing tube.
Each and ell of these processes yield a
tube which Is absolutely seamless and
about which there is and can be no dis
pute. In all tubes formed with seam
the edges have first been separated, then
united, either by lap or butt weld or by
some lock joint system, and in these the
Joint cannot be eliminated by any after
processes The custom houses OF the
United States recognize the difference be-
tween q seam and seamless tube. a
seamless tube is one in which the walls
have never been separated from the time
the metal was in molten condition to the
time of the completion Of the tube.-1ron

Cutting It Short.

A barber's shop is sometimes trying
place for men who dislike to hear othe,
people gossip. The barber, especially il
be has little shop and is alone, must
talk to his customers. Here is a scene
in country barber's shop, full beard
ed and rather sour looking gentleman
being in the chair.
"Hair cut" says the customer.
"All right, sir. How'll you have il

"Short."

CONTRASTS OF SEWING WOMEN.
Advantages OF the Factory Girl In the
Country Ovoc Her Sister In tho City.

Advantages Of the Factory Girl In the
Country Ovoc Her Sister In tho City.
You may see in any one of perhaps q
hundred shops in this city colorless, sad
eyed, dinghy clad women bending over
Yewing machines amid squalid sur.
roundings, with no outlook save through
window opening upon a sordid street.
You may see in at least score of coun-
try villages 30 miles from any great
city a crowd of neatly clad, happy look
ing girls and women busted with like
tasks, but amid clean and pleasant sur
roundings, with glimpses Of smiling
landscape through every window.
The New York women, released from
their toll, hasten homo to gloomy tene-
mcnt lodgings and unwholesome fare.
The village girls troop from the factory
to modest but clean and pleasant homes,
where food is fresh and abundant. The
New York sewing machine woman is
an insignificant unit in great COM
munity. She feels daily the pressure OF
her fellows that are ready to take her
place and her earnings She hears from
embittered men and women talk Of the
rights of labor and the greed Of wealth.
She knows that her earnings would not
keep some Of her rich sisters in cut flow
ers. Whenever she stirs out of her own
dingy quarter, it is to see at every step
evidence of the luxury in which some
live and of the contrast between her
lot and theirs.
The village factory girl has hardly
heard that there is labor problem. Her
5000 or $3.50 year, earned at the sewing
machine, clothes her we'll, procures for
her small luxuries and helps to keep the
family above want. She makes little
pleasure trips hither and yon when work
is slack and looks forward with conf
dence to marriage and a home Of her
own, clean, sweet and comfortable. She
never sees among her fellow townsfolk
one who has any essential comfort that
she lacks, and nine women out of ten
in the village have less to spend on
dress than she has. She never sees O
hungry or ragged person, unless it be
IN occasional tramp, and she hardly
grasps the meaning Of what she now
and then hears about the lives Of the
poor in great cities.
The New York slave to the sewing
machine lives half an hour from the
heart Of tho western world and may, Il
sho will, ON any night see Broadway
and it's throngs by electric light. The
village factory girl believes that she
would be happy to give up all her com
forts for the others privilege Of seeing
at will the splendors Of the great city.
The New York sewing woman would
not, if she could, change places with
the village factory girl-New Yorl

A Turfman's Tale.

A New Jerseyman told me a good
story the other day on one Of our fore
most turfmen, a man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that OF
any other connected with racing in
America. A good many years ago this
turfman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with trainload of mustangs from the
plains of Texas He knew nothing OF
the laws of the state nor OF the ord1'
nances of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do it was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would be
his own auctioneer, The sale started out
we'll. Fair prices were realized. Sud-
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded view of our friends
license.
"License?' he said amazed. "What
license? I haven't any license of any
kind" :
"Well, you can't sell horses in this
city without license. You'll have te
come along. No monkey business with
u.s." =. @
Of course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court friend Ia
lawyer), who went bail for him in the
sum of $50. Then the lawyer said:
"a license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out. Give
me $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you are $500 ahead Of the game.
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in the st. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.

SAE FOILEO 4 PLOT.
How Nine. Alboni Frustrated q
Scheme to Hiss Her.


"Once u pom time, when Nine. Alboni
was at Trieste" writes Henry G. Lahee In
Famous Singers Of Today" "she waa
informed of the existence Of plot to hisi
her off the stege. Having ascertnined the
names of her detractors and where they
were to be found, she donned mnle attire,
30 which her short hnir and robust figure
helped to complete her disguise, and wont
to the cafe ct which the conspirators met.
Here she found them In full consultation,
and taking scat at table she listened
TO thoir conversation for time After
awhile she addressed the leader, saying:
1T hear. that you intend to play trick
upon some one I am very fond Of lit
tie practical joke myself and should ba
glad If you would allow me to join you
on this occasion"
"'With pleasure was the reply. I'VE
intend to hiss an opera singer off the stage
this evening"
Indeed! And Of what is she guilty.
"'Oh, nothing, except that, being az
italian, she has sung in Munich and VII
enna to German audiences, and we think
she ought to receive some castigation fol
her unpatriotic conduct
"'I agree with you, and now please tel
me what am to do

1" Il shall be very glad to do so, said
the singer and put the whistle In he'
pocket.
SIN the evening the house was packed
every seat was occupied-and the au
dience warmly applauded the opening
numbers of the opera. In due course
Nine. Alboni appeared, and at the point
at which she was about to address he1
tutor few of the conspirators began t.
make disturbance, not waiting for th'
signal.
"Without showing any concern, Nine
Alboni walked down to the foothghts
and, holding up the whistle, which wa
hung to her neck by o ribbon, she ex
claimed: Gentlemen, are you not littl'
before your timer I thought we were mo-
to commence whistling until I had sung
the air.

vailed; then suddenly the house broke In

One Spoon Enough.

A Boston man travelling through the
south was obliged to stop over in a
small town where there was but one
hotel, at which the accommodations
were hardly to be called elaborate. When
the colored waiter brought his dinner,
the Boston man found that he was to
have roast beef, stewed tomatoes, corn,
peas, potatoes and coffee, the vegetables
served in the usual stone china canoes.
Presently he said to the waiter, "Dick,
