Stimulating the stoay Output

Elizabeth p. Butler In the July Charities
and the Commons.
Where hours are irregular In the
Pittsburg stogy manufactures, the
time element enters. with natural diff
ferences OF speed and with differences
in quality OF stock, to affect the
amount earned. Perhaps here better
than elsewhere mention may be made
of some OF the methods Of stimulating
output In the larger factories. Their
are eight factories which employ 100
hands or more. In each Of them as
we'll as In some of the smaller plants
which approach them In size. there are
speed requirements. One factory, for
instance, pays only 9 cents a hundred
in case a roller turns out less than
5000 stogies a week, although there is
not a sweatshop which falls below the
IL cent rate. In other cases, emphasis
is placed on close cutting as well as on
speed. The following regulation Is
posted on a workroom door.
Pump Handles (Cigars.)
All rollers getting an average Of be-
low 275 a pound will receive IL cents
a 100.
All rollers getting an average of 275
or better will receive 13 cents a 100-

When a Woman Really Loves a Maj

The papers are full of the story Of a
man who was killed at his own door
way the other night. AS h story de-

been spending months trying to get
someon to kill him. He wanted to die
and he didn't wish to risk his life In
surance by suicide. so he went from one
friend" to another trying to arrange
| some way to die.
Well, O soul, he's out Of his trou-
bles now--but why did he have to get
out of them that way?
The only thing that seemed to be
really the matter with him was debt
and fear of disgrace. He had a hne
home, a nice family and a beautiful
wife; he was still young, OF good health
and at the head Of a fine profession in
mis- part OF the world.
Why didn't he take his wife In his
arms and say to her; Honey, I've

I'm going to be a disgrace, but I'm go
ing to ask you to love me as ever and
stand by me, and help me to keep my
name clean for you and the babies?'

worry and doubt would have faded like

OUR CORNER
THE HUMMING-BIRD.

~rID you know that humming-birds
are found only in America!
49, This beautiful little bird spends
tie winter south of the United States,
arriving in Florida about March, and
in the New England States about the
middle of May. 1t builds it's nest close
"a the end of a branch of q tree, and
The moment anyone comes neal 1t the
,,other bird betrays it's whereabouts by
buying about the intruder's head; in
fact. all of its movements are OF light
ning-like rapidity. The nest is' a tiny
thing looking for size and shape Tx
a Gun out of a child's toy tea-set. Inc
walls of the nest are thick, and on the
outside are covered with bits OF gray
lichen. The bird always lays two Wmte
eggs, about the size of large peas Inc
young ones stay in the nest about three
weeks, until they are full-grown ana
perfectly able to fly.
The only note this pretty bird utters
is a squeak, which seems to be an ex-
pression of nervousness, as 1t is uttereo
whenever an intruder comes near the
tree containing her treasure. A lazy
once discovered a humming-bird under
her piazza. 1t had flown in by accldent,
and now was darting to and FRO IN d.
frantic attempt to get out. The piazza
was open on three sides, to be sure,
but the frightened bird kept close to
the ceiling, and SO found itself walled
in. Fearful that it might injure itself,
the lady tried 20 force 1t down with a
broom, but the poor bird became more
frightened. Finally the lady had a
happy thought. She went to the gar
den, plucked a handful of flowers, n
going back to the piazza set them
down for the bird to see. Instantly the
bird flew toward the flowers, and as 1t
did so it saw the open world without,
and away it went.
Is it not wonderful that so tiny a
bird. born i'll Canada in June, should
travel to Central America in the
autumn. and the next spring find its
way back again to it's birthplace?
