USE OF PLOTTING PAPER.
Method of Cleaning Machinery Ik
 German Shops.


 The use of plotting paper for clean ing machinery is comparatively new idea-an idea that has been tried successfully in German workshops.
 Tow, woolen refuse sponge cloths and jute waste are the materials usu ally employed for the cleaning O. machines and parts of engines tha are soiled by dirt and lubricatins substances.
 The better varieties of cotton waste are very good for securing purposes but the cheaper grades are charged with dust, and in using them sponge cloth, specially manufactured for tho purpose, has to be resorted to.
 In employing plotting paper for securing purposes the use of cotton waste is decreased, and the sponge cloths are entirely dispensed with. On an average German workman re- ceives under the former system 250 grams of cotton waste, one new sponge cloth. and one or two reno vated ones each week. Now he is supplied with 150 grams of cotton waste. and about eight or ten sheets of plotting paper. at cost of two and half cents. or one-third the cost of the cotton waste.
 The paper is not only cheaper. but 1t does not soil the machinery with fibers and dust, as do the wooded refuse and the sponge cloths. It is also less combustible than other clean ing materials, and, if 1t should be caught in the machinery while en- zines in motion are being cleaned, it tears easily. and the workmen run no risk of having their hands drawn into the machinery.

WHERE INGENUITY WON OUT. Betting Man Had Studied Condition

c. s. Rolls. the English aeronau and motorist. was talking in Ne, York about the aeroplane.
 T think the Wrights will win." h. said. Santos -Dumont Is ingenious but the Wrights are more ingeniou still They are as ingenious as-as [ betting friend of mine."
 MT. Rolls smiled and resumed:
 My friend, Capt Bragge, bet an athlete that he could not hop up cer tain long flight of steps two at time The athlete took the bet, and mad the trial. But there were 41 steps t the flight, and therefore. after maxim 20 hops the man found that he ha lost. He paid up. but accused Cap, Bragge of sharp practice.
 "'Sharp practice!' said Bragge, in dignantly. Well. I'll make the same bet with you that I can do It.
 "The other, expecting to win his money back, assented.
 Capt. Bragge then hopped up 40 steps in 20 hops and, hopping bacl one. finished in the prescribed manner and won the bet"

THE ACT OF A DIPLOMAT.
Wise Ranehman Averted a War Ii
 the Hole in the Wall"

Near the Hole-in-the-Wall country in Wyoming thore is a peppery old cattleman whose range is as dear to him as his life, and from whose point of view a sheepman is pariah.
 His nearest neighbor is a strenu- ous and belligerent widow who keeps sheep. In consequence the line be- tween their two ranches is as clearly detined as was the dead line at Libby prison.
 Upon one occasion, however, the widows sheep strayed upon the cat tleman's range, and the old ranch CTS rage was great He denounced her as 'trollop."
 This epithet as applied to herself came to the ears of the widow, and, vowing vengeance. she hurried home % search for the word in her die tionary. But her dictionary knew raught of ''trollops," SO she sent away for a larger edition and had it freighted in.
 AC ~ NohAe was as silent upon the subject of ''trollops" as the old one. so the wid. ow saddled her horse and rode some 20 miles to consult a ranchman whose educational advantages had been somewhat superior to those of her neighbors.
 He listened attentively while she explained the circumstances.
 And now" she demanded. what did he mean? What is a trollop?'
 "Trollop. madam" replied he grave ly. 'is a very difficult word to define. Its meaning is subtle and elusive. It's hard to put into words. but it's rsre compliment Old Man B. has paid you In olden days 'trollop' was a synonymous term for Queen of Sheba.' but as near as we can come at its meaning nowadays the defini. ton would be The Sheep Queen of Poison Creek"
 Is that so," exclaimed the molli- fed widow. I've vronged that man. I'll stop and ask him over for supper on my way back.--Lippincottis

Taleeearinp.

Nobody loves telltale. and most of us were brought up in the belief that is is dishonorable to turn informer Stll, there is great and obvious diff ference between tale-bearins and tes- tifying against a criminal. even If the criminal happens to be a comrade or associate It is held to be shameful to turn against a friend. but 1t is not dishonorabIe to deliver a criminal to punishment The distinction Is worth emphasizing.-Chicago Chronicle.

YESTERDAYS WINNERS
BY j. R. Jeffery

Long shots held high carnival at the
Emeryville racetrack yesterday, hrss
money In four of the six events going
to horses ranging from up to 20 to
1 In the betting. The remaining two
races were won by favorites. Tho
public choices were fighting for the
money in the races in which they were
beaten, however, and none OF them
ran unplaced.
q. W. Dodge, whose cleanup with A.
Muskoday IL still fresh in the memory
of local race goers, was successful in
bringing off q coup with the Mesmertst-
Iroquois Belle Ally Hazeline in the sec
ond race, an allowance affair for
year olds at seven furlongs. The filly
was backed down to 10 from 20, with
the odds still being rubbed as the
field parsded to the post. Riddle, the
stable rider, was up. Rating his mount
in the early part, he moved up at the
last turn and the flly galloped over
the leaders and went on to a ridicu-
lously easy victory seven lengths in
front OF Talentosa, the favorite. Elota
ran third.
The change from Jockey Buchanan
to Jockey Rettig worked wonders for
Sanpiper, which Buchanan had ridden
unplaced in his two previous starts
The Yankee Doodle colt ruled favorite
In the opening race and breezed to the
wire an easy winner with several
lengths to spare, after having led the

ond choice, was never In the hunt for
the money. The SO to l shot Corelti
