apply freely to every part of the run
ming gear of the machiue. Run the
machine rapidly for several minutes
to allow the oil to penetrate to every
part. 1t is sometimes well to let it
stand several hours till the dirt is
well loosened and the grease cut.
Then oil as usual, wipe well, and
your machine will run like top.
Kerosene, or coal oil, as it is called
in mnay localities, has variety of
uses. 1t is one of the best remedies
for u burn; if the spot is covered at
once, immediate relief is felt. Con-
tinue to apply the kerosene until the
burning sensation is gone. No after
effects Of soreness or tenderness will
be felt, and the burn will heal quickly.
Use few drops of the oil in water
for washing windows and note how
clear they look when polished.
Cranberries can be preserved very
nicely by putting in jars and filling
with cold water; seal as if canning
fruit. When wanted TO cook, cook in
usual way, but only about half as

women is to wear neither stockings

narrow ribbons laced over the foot
and ankle so that a glimpse OF rosy

The Women Workers OF France.
N. Y. World.

N. Y. World.
An inquiry made by the British
Board of Trade into French indus
trial conditions shows that in France
wives and children contribute to the
family income to a greater extent
even than is generally believed. An
analysis of 5,605 household budgets
of working-clasS families in Paris and
in representative industrial towns
throughout the Republic disclosed
the fact that among families earning
$40 week or more, 80 per cent. OF
the income is contributed by the
wife and children. In the lowest in
come group CSC and under) their
Joint contributions constitute ID per
cent. of the total income, and in the
other groups vary from ll.5 per
cent. to 24.7 per cent. The wife S
individual earnings range from SO
per cent. to 14.5 per cent. In the
town of Roanne, with a population of
"a, ,9O1, % out of every 100 wives aid
in the family support.
A near approach to an equality of
labor between the sexes has thus
been reached in France, where by the
census of 1901 6,S04, $40 women and
girls, Or approximately one-third OF
the female population, were in active
occupations. They constituted one
third of all the workers in France.
In Germany onc-quarter of all work
ers are women. In the United
State in 1900 5,319.397 females were
returned as in employment out OF a
female population of %, 246, 3S4, Or
1873 per cent. They comprised less
than One-fifth of all workers and
showed an increase in number OF
only Ia per cent. for the ten-year
period from 1890
But where in Europe women Still
assume the burdens of the heavier
forms of labor, with us the drift o
women labor is toward the lighter
work of the Office and store. While
in 1850 women supplied 23.3 pei
cent. of the employees in American
manufacturing industries, and IL
1890 1868 per cent, the number IL
1900 was 247 per cent. On the othe
, hand the percentage OF women IL
professional service in the Unite'
States rose from Ga in 1880 to 5. i u
: 1900, and in trade and tranSporta
ton from "a per cent. to 81 pc
, cent. And this IN spite of the yeai
ly addition of vast European We
man population familiar by trad
tion and early training with women
a work in the factories and fields.

Letter Of Eskimo Translated Into the Jarfon

Ogkok, head man of the Eskimo
village, who has accepted the chal-
lenge OF the Quinaults to engage in
canoe races, whale hunts and har-
poOniug contests during the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition, has caused
a letter to be written in the Chinook

Boys Made Gamblers.

Springfield Register: Slot ma
chimes are the mos. successful
teacher of the primer class of gamb-
lers. There are boys, lots of them,
who don't know how to play poker
who have never gambled otherwise,
never been in gambling house play
ed roulette, faro, or even shot craps .
who yield to the subtle temptation to
play nickels in slot machines.
The slot machine is one of the most
insidious forms of public gambling.
Some of them are made to give some
return in trade or chips" for the
nickels dropped into them, but the
majority of them are swindles. They
can be plugged" or adjusted to nay
nearly any percentage the operator de-
sires. In some places not boys alone
but men play them. One man alone
so We are informed lost $40 in sin
gle afternoon in nickel slot ma
chine in a place in Springfield where
machines are operated. The slot ma,
1 chine is a gambling institution OF
( greater magnitude tlan many peo-
4 pie imagine.
! But the worst aspect of these un.
lawful devices built to entice and de
fraud is the fact that small boys are
most susceptible to their tempta
lions, and more boys are schooted il
the primer class of public gambling
through slot machines than any otne
one gambling institution.
The tolerance of these devices is
fundamentally wrong. 1t is serious
infraction of the law It is seriou:
reflection upon the officials who per
nit them.
Orders by the mayor to his police
department will wipe them out witt
one sweep Of the official arm of the
law
Out with the slot machines.

of some pennies and door-key, and
was taken through the lid of an or
binary stove upon the upper side of
which had been smeared some Tho
Rad-X. This compound, according to
DR.. Frank H. Blackmarr. is form of
radium which seems destined to effect
a revolution in therapeutics, for it has
cured diseases which hitherto have
seemed intractable, and possesses all
the qualities of radium without pro-
ducing its harmful caustic effects. The

The New Tariff Bill.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: 1t will be
noted that the tariff is cut in more
places than it is increased This GER
tainly ought to satisfy those people
who are demanding downward revi-
sion. Some of the changes are sur
prising, but it Is not to be taken for
granted that they will go through as
fixed by the committee. The outlook
is for a prolonged debate on some of
the features. as the business interests
of every section of the country will
have TO be considered When the bill
is finished it will be found to partake
of the nature of the present measure
which was, pure and simple, COM
promise between conflicting business
interests.
The present measure is one of the
best ever framed, and it is hoped that
when congress gets through with the
new bill, it will prove as generally
satisfactory and helpful as that bear
ing Nelson Dingley's name.
Congress has changed the law con-
corning tae date when the law will
go into force. Formerly it was at
noon of the day the measure was
passed. Hereafter it will take effect
on the following day. That fixes with
accuracy the period when the ultra
tariff revisionists will begin their
J howl of criticism OF the new law.
