Computing Tape Measure.

A computing tape measure, which
provides simple and convenient
means for ascertaining weights and
measures without employing calcula-
tions of any kind, Is shown in the IL
lustratiOn below. It Is especially use
full in determining the weight per foot
of tubes, pipes, bars and rods. The
computing measure is formed by two
or more tapes, arranged side by side.
The one shown here, TO be used in
ascertalning the weights of pipes,
has two tapes, one containing figures
to indicate the diameters of the pipe
and the other the weights per foot of
pipes of different diameters. The
measure is used as follows
To ascertain the weight per foot Of
pipe having an internal diameter
. - inches and an external diameter
IS inches, the upper tape is drawn
out until the figures 2 - appear at
tho edge of the slot. Both tapes are
then drawn out together until the
figures Is H., representing the external
diameter OF the pipe or tube, appear
on the upper tape. The weight per
foot is indicated by the figure on the
lower tape directly below the figures

WORDS OF WISDOM.

There is something about wife's

When married people can't come

Termination.
The woman who makes man per.
fectly happy is the one who cares just

when he doesn't respond.
A married woman is always impres.

goes to her head like wine to the head

Refinement is what makes a mar

his wife.

Needles, Pins, and Hooks and Eyes

According to the census of 1905,
forty-siX establishments made a spec
ialty of manufacturing one or more
varieties of needles, pins, or hooks
and eyes. These establishments re-
ported a capital of S5,331,939, 1906
wage earners, wages amounting to
s1,595,923, and products valued at
S4,750,5S9. Almost equal numbers
of men and women were engaged In
this industry, the numbers being l.
S62 and 1860. respectively.
In addition a number Of factories
produced quantities of these articles
without specializing on them. The
total output amounted to 1,766,073
gross Of needles. valued at s1,51S,-
All. and pins valued at s2,6S2,656.
a total value of s4,151.067 for both
classes of products.
The leading variety OF needles
manufactured was sewing machine
needles. with a production OF 49,
sac gross, valued at S6O0,046. Latch
knitting machine needles were next
in rank in Importance, the 310,S46
gross OF such needles being valued at
s422,655. More spring knitting
machine needles (3S2,7SS gross)
were manufactured, but their value
was considerably less CS11S,223).

SAYS MARRIAGE
INSURES LIFE.
Prof. lasse Finds Bachelors
Have Weak Stomaehs as Well
as Heads and Hears.

A German scholar named LSnge,
who has given much attention 20 the
question whether married men or
bachelors live the longer. records his
emphatic verdict in favor OF the mar
ried men. He has studied the sick
funds and insurance statistics OF
Europe and America. and this Is his
solemn conclusion:
Not only do married men live
longer. but they are more immune as
regards sickness. Lange has a pile Of
statistics from places where various
epidemics have prevailed. the range
covering Hamburg. Liverpool. Chi
cago. Rome, and In every case. wheth-
er the disease has been cholera, ty-
phus, smallpox or measles, the bach
elors have caught the disease first.
have succumbed first, and show by far
the highest rate OF mortality. It Is
when they become somewhat aged
that bachelors show the greatest ten
dency to illness.
It speaks volumes for their selfish
and one-sided way OF life that the dis
eases to which they are most prone
are diseases OF the organs OF diges-
ton. From diseases OF the throat
they are peculiarly free. whatever this
may signify.
Their hearts. such as they have,
are In a bad way. Professor Lange
says diseases OF the heart In bachelors
are more numerous cad tale sar more
dangerous forms t,5h tM5fs mar
ried men. Wl.lt does this signify?
Does II mean that the hearts of the
selfish ones grow bad" from want OF
movement and the practice OF love
and charity? Lange does not say.
Another point. Madness and lunacy
In all their terrible shapes are more
frequent among bachelors. Any
psychlatrlst in good practice will con-
firm this. There are wards in public
asylums where among certain kinds
OF lunacy quite eighty per cent. are
bachelors; and the strange thing Is
that they are mostly incurable cases.

The Age of Birds.

Birds OF very small size and slen-
der build not only live to very old
age. but In their old age are freer
from accidents and sign OF senility
than Is always the case among ami
mails. It used to be said that crows
and cartons crows lived over one
hundred years. If this statement
seems rather exaggerated, there Is
no question that we'll known natural
lists speak Of crows fifty, sixty or
even seventy years old. Eagles,
horned owls and herons attain sim
liar ages, and Mr.. Guerney, the Eng
lish naturalist, cites a condor fifty
two years old, horned owl OF sixty
eight and royal eagle that died in
Its fifty-sixth year. But the record
OF longevity undoubtedly belongs to
the parrot. M. Abrahams declares
that an Amazon parrot reached the
ripe old age OF 1912 years, and a
Frenchman. M. Levaillat, tells us OF
parrot. Jacko by name, that had
lost Its memory at sixty. Its sight at
ninety, and had died at ninety-three.
Tame birds lixe just as long, A
