To make wooden drains it usually re
quires two men, one to hold the boards
In place and the other to nail them to-

drains can be improved upon by the
use of a standard. This consists of an
upright board three feet high, having
notches cut into 1t six inches apart, one
inch wide and several inches deep to-
hold the boards firmly. The boards are
laid in the notches, when the top board
can be quickly and evenly nailed on.

Term aFlat. in Disfavor

Possibly the exact origin of fiat" as
applied to an apartment will forever re-
main in obscurity. In recent years OWN
ers OF fiat houses have rebelled against
the term most holly. A short while ago
a tenant was threatened with a suit for
libel because he persisted in saying that
he lived in such-and-such fat house.
The landlord declared that the structure
was neither a fat house nor tenement,
but an apartment hotel. The repeated
use of fiat house" as designation tend
ed to lower the reputation of the place
and drove away would-be occupants.

whv Number of widows Increase.

Why does the proportional number
of widows increase steadily asks a
Swiss journal, and gives in reply several
reasons-the men are engaged in more
hazardous OCCUPATIONS; they waste too
much time in tayerns, drinking and
squabbling over politics, and they gem
orally burn the candle at both ends.
Hence the insurance companies are be-
ginning to ask a higher rate OF men than
of women.

There Really Only Two Seasons In This Part of the Country
MARRIED TEACHERS OUT
Barre to Hire Only Instructors Without
husbands.

Barre, May 1.-the refusal OF the
school directors to re. engage married
women as teachers has stirred up con
siderable excitement In this city. Al
though seven teachers have been
thrown out under this rule they are
making no agitation for reinstatement,
but their friends are zealously at
work.
The agitation has been going or for
year or more. The chief argument
advanced against their employment
was that these women had husbands
and we're not dependent upon their
work for their support; and that they
kept out OF the service young women
who must support themselves. II was
argued that the place for married WON
en- was In their homes.
Supt o. ID Mathewson was instruct
ed TO engage other teachers. II Is un'
derstood that the vote on re engaging
the married teachers stood 3to3. One
OF the teachers thrown out has been en-
ployed for II years and. Another for
ten.
