USE FOR OLD CARPETS.
Firenlen on Ocean Steamships Need
Them to Handle SItcebars.

Firennem on Ocean Steamships Need
Them to Handle SItcebars.
The sailors bethel in Boston has
found a new outlet for it's activity. says
the New York Tribune. 1t is collecting
old carpets to supply the fremen on
the ocean steamships with holders. The
heat in which these men work is so
great that man who had not grad
ually got accustomed to it would find
it actually insupportable. One Of the
hottest things around q boiler room is
the slicebar, with yhich the ftremen
from time to time poke the fire to pre-
vent the coal from caking into humps.
These bars frequently become red
hot and unless the fireman protects his
hands serious burns result. Expert
ments have been tried with holders
Of various materials, but old pieces Of
carpet have so far proved to be the
| only thing which will surely protect
the hands of the men. With pieces Of
carpet the bars can be handled with
out danger. An idea of the high tenn
| perature of these bars may be obtained
| from the fact that a single days use
will burn up even the thickest piece Of
carpet.
A representative from the bethel has
| been securing Boston auction rooms in
| search of old carpets which have serV-
ed out their usefulness as floor cover
ings and could be cut up into strips
for the firemen's use. He found sew
eral rolls that could be bought for a
small sum each. These he purchased
and divided into three or four lots,
sending one lot to each of the several
/ Institutions doing work among the sail
| Ors There they are being cut into
strips and distributed as fast as they
are called for by the fremen.
The bethel has solved in this way
one Of the perplexing problems beset-
ting the fireman. Hitherto he has of
ten been unable to get the carpet. He
had not the time to go after 1t, he
could not afford to buy it and he did
not know where to look to find it.
When he burns his hands and cannot
work he is laid off. The collecting and
distribution Of old carpets to the fire
men is real and practical helI to
them.

VOTING IN NEW ZEALAND.

An Observers Impressions of the
Workings of WOmen's Suffrage.
Gas to woman suffrage, I asked many
about it, and men and women seemed to
agree that it is a. good thing" says
Charles Edward Russell in Soldiers Of
the Common Good" in Everybody's.
'The men said the women have nota-
bly, improved political life; it is the
cleaner and purer because Of them.
Women go to political meetings and
rowdyism fees before them; candidates
are very careful what they say and
how they say it when they know wO-
men voters are listening to them. Pub
lie officers are more careful about their
records. because it has been found that
women will not overlook things that
the men pardon.
"As to public policies, the women
have steadily supported reform and
the new ideas; they have not cared
whether O thing was sanctioned by the
ages so long as it was right and good.
This is what the men told me. The
women said they had not found it any
more dreadful to 60 to a polling place
and vote than to go to a store and

treated there with the greatest respect.
The men said that most Of them did
not know how their wives voted. AS
for letting the soup burn and the chill

and all that sort Of thing, the New
Zealanders despise any such sugges-
tions about their voting helpmates.
They say a woman can vote and IN
derstand perfectly what she is voting

mother as if she never had an idea
in her life above buildings. I don't
know; I know have seen a great

they seemed exactly as well ordered,
as bright, cheerful and happy as any
