Recreation for Working People.

Turning from the more substantial
features of industrial betterment to
what may be called it's lighter, though
not less important side, there are all
sorts of opportunities for recreation. A
large factory or department store has
social life all it's own; there are
clubs, athletic, social, literary and
musical. The sensible outdoor life of
the English leads to open-air match
games, tennis, bowling, cricket and
swimming for the men, croquet and
tennis for the women. Compulsory
gymnastic exercises are given in the
Where there is piano in the recrea-
ton rooms a dance or concert bright
ems the noon hour, says Mary R. Gran
ston, in the Reader. Picnics and vaca-
ton camping parties in summer
take the place of dances and match
bail games in winter. The saloons
have found a powerful rival in the
latter, for practice at noon leaves little
time and less inclination for beer or
other stimulants. Dublin, Ireland,
Pittsburg and New York may boast
the distinction of roof gardens for en-
ployes. 1t is queer that roofs are not
more frequently used in cities where
it is so difficult to make any kind of
improvement without great expense
For very little the roof of the average
factory could be made joy forever
and a great safeguard by keeping
young people from idling in the streets
at noon.

A Hindoo editor has gone to jail far
printing a large section of his mind in
his paper. If the British government
insists on making a popular hero out
of this editor doubtless he can stand
it. A Jail sentence is nothing, says
Chicago Daily News, if the populace
outside is standing around shouting
for. the prisoner and during iulls is
making faces at the British govern
ment- That editor may get his name
in history long after the impetuous Of
fetal who caused his arrest has been
forgotten. This may be some consola-
ton to him. Then again he may get
better grub in jail than he was able to
rustic outside. On the whole, the
British government has done him a
great kindness, but that isn't saying
that he appreciates it.

A New Typhoid Terror.

Although the discovery OF new
sources of danger to health, new car
riers of disease germs, should be an
encouragement to the scientific worker
as tending toward the more accurate
application of preventive measures.
the knowledge that the typhoid infec-
ton is being carried about in scores
of supposedly healthy persons will
prove rather alarming. To the medical
profession it is well known, of course,
that the typhoid bacillus sometimes
persists for years in certain portions
of the human anatomy, and that it is
always to be found for time during
convalescence, but the possibility that
healthy and apparently robust 1ndi-
viduals may be carriers of the deadly
germs, and that the arrest and isola-
ton of such carriers" may come to
be a part of the public campaign
against the disease, is a comparatively
recent aspect of the question. The
discovery of this added danger should
serve to emphasize the Importance of
scrupulous care in ascertaining the
health and antecedents of household
servants, says Philadelphia Ledger. In
a particular case that led to the dis
covery of one aggravated instance of
typhoid carrier" six persons in
single family developed the disease
within a few days after the arrival of
a new cook. After every other posi-
BILE source of contamination had been
investigated and found guiltless, an
inquiry as to the cook revealed the
startling fact that during the five
years previous at least &c cases of
typhoid were associated with her serv-
ice in seven different families. She
was detained, and archaeological ex-
animation revealed her to be a chronic
typhoid fever producer.

upon business.

The manager stammers a little. He
has an excuse, perhaps, and the ex-
cuse is listened to respectfully. Talk
may drift away from the subject
little Then, as suddenly and I'M
expectedly, the head of Armour & Co.
comes back to the topic from a new
angle. 1t is an explosive recurrence,
but in the inevitable low, even tones
of the dictator. 1t is disconcerting to
the degree that it is unexpected
and a disconnected employe is regard
ed as one of the inspirations of Og-
den Armour. Before he is done with
the department head he may have
come back three or& four times to
the unpleasant subject. But when he
has gone the manager has the lesson
of his mistaken judgment firmly i'm
pressed upon his mind. He will not
offend again.

But knowing or not knowing the

surprise to the cashier, either.
Direct in Questioning.
No one in the employ of Armour &
Co. ever has accused the head Of the
present business of being unapproach-
able. Approaching him, no employe
knowing him has expected warm,
smiling greeting. None ever expects
to escape the battery of keen ques-
tionings, one question hot after the
other, straight to the point, and
stripped of superfluous wording.
Not that all such talk of the head
of the Armours is 'inquisitorial. 1t
would be hard to count the number of
managers, superintendent and travel
ing auditors who in years past have
come to the general Office in Chicago,
to meet the chief in smiling mood,
regarding their work, and who at the
end of the interview have been pre-
scented with an order for gold watch
and a suit of clothes. These are con-
venient, convertible orders, too. If the
man doesn't need a watch, the order
will be cashed at the cashiers win
dow at $50; or if he has clothes sufh-
Gent, the cashier redeems the clothes
order at the same figure.

Close Supervision Necessary.

Close supervision Necessary.
That such a lesson may be worth
while is suggested in the fact that
there are about $50 of these branch
houses throughout the country. Three
hundred and fifty manager are neces-
sary for their conduct, and 35 super
intendents and as many travelling au-
ditors overlook the business of these
houses between the Armour head and
the myriad details of buying and sell
ing.
The possibility of $500 loss in each
of $50 branches is an item, even in a
business which nets 100000 or So
100000 in year
1t is only the accurate knowledge
of Armour which saves him in these
personal rounds of inspection. There
are managers and superintendent
and travelling auditors who are touchy
enough by instinct and by training
to resent idle inquisitions of the kind
There is no resenting the keen, clear
cut analyses of the master of a great
business and of its almost infnitesi-
NAL details

just one man did resent the Armour

BRAIN QUALITY.
It Is of Just as Much Importance as
 the Quantity.

It In of Just as Much Importance as
 the Quantity.
 The brain of Daniel Webster weigh ed fifty-six or flfty-seven ounces, that of Napoleon Bonaparte about the same. This Is about three pounds and half. These were exceeded by the brain of Cuvier, the great French naturalist, which weighed between fifty-nine and sixty ounces, and that of the French surgeon Dupuytren, which weighed fifty-eight ounces. The average weight of the brain of man is about fifty ounces and of women forty five ounces. The maximum weight of the healthy adult brain Is about sixty four ounces and the minimum thirty one ounces. Men of great intellectual power have generally if not always possessed large brains. The quality of the brain is, however, quite as impor- tant as the quantity, so that large brain does not of necessity constitute a great man: The size of the brain Is not in proportion to the physical de velopment of the body, either in anil mals or in man. The horse has brain less in weight than the smallest adult human brain; that of a whale seventy five feet long was found to weigh not quite twice as much as that of man. Even in men there is no fixed relation between the size of the body and that of the brain. A small man may have a large brain and big man a small brain.
