The surgeon asked Yandille half a

three sous a time.

mist, "how often, friend, will it be
necessary to bleed me?"
Three times"
"And what quantity OF blood do you
intend to take each time"
Eight ounces"
"Well, but why can't you take the
whole twenty-four ounces at once!
You want to make a job Of me, you
scoundrel! Here, sir; there are your
three sous. Take the twenty-four

generous to obey. NJ. Vandille lost the
twenty-four ounces of blood and died in

ures to the king, whom he made his

4 UNIQUE ENDeriment.

Chicago Daily Journal: In selecting
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young for superinten-
dent of the Chicago school system the
board of education has at once paid a
high compliment to the sex and inaugu-
rated a unique experiment.
The position requires both ability and
tact in no ordinary degree. 1t has
severly tested the capacity of number
of very able educators.
Mrs. Young's career as the head of a
great school system will be watched
with interest all over the country. If
achieves the success that her friends
predict the action of the Chicago
board is likely to establish a notable
precedent.

MAKING GOLD LEAF.
The Metal Is Beaten For Hours by
Men, Then Finished by Girls.

mcng ncN FtnlSncO by
In one of the downtown business
streets may be seen sticking from one
of the upper windows q massive arm
and hand, the hand grasping a huge
hammer and the whole sign gilded. It
is the sign Of the gold beaters' estab-
lishment, where thousands of the gold
sheets are turned out after having
been packed by girls.
Gold leaf is packed more by the aid
of the breath than by the hands. The
operation of transferring a sheet of
almost transparent gold leaf from one
place to another is so delicate that 1t
Is possible to do it only by a light
puff of the breath. 1t takes most girls
six weeks to acquire this knack, and
some girls are never able to acquire It,
The gold reaches the beaters first
In wide bars or nuggets and has to be
weighed, melted and made into inch
wide ribbons before anything else is
done. The ribbon is then cut into inch
squares and beaten with a hammer
welded by q man. When each leaf
has been beaten thin it is transferred
to a mold, where 1t is beaten four
hours more. The beating is done with
a wooden hammer weighing from
seven to eighteen pounds, on a sheep
skin cushion, which rests on a granite
block. The gold used for beating is
usually % or % carats fine A little
alloy Of copper or silver Is added to
make 1t spread. It would be tmpos-
sible, the beaters say, to handle per
fectly pure gold.
After the gold has been beaten 1t
is handed over to the girls. who lift
the unshaped leaf from the mold with
pair Of wooden pinchers, f1atten it out
on sheepskin cushion by gently blow
ing on 1t, cut 1t to a perfect square,
replace 1t between the leaves of the
book and fiatten it out with the breath.
There are twenty-five leaves in a
book, and skilled girl can pack sew
enty books In q day, for which she
gets from 21s to cents book.-NeN

ON THE CANAL.

The Milwaukee Sentinel announces
that Congressman KOpp will go on the
lecture platform next fall and give free
instruction to audiences throughout the
third district as to what the govern
ment is doing in the canal zone. He
will use large number of lantern
slides showing interesting features Of
Uncle Sans great project. This is a
good undertaking on the part Of Mr..
Kopp, and he will doubtless have large
and interested audiences. Having the
audiences, he might at the same time
try to explain to his constituents why
he supported that most obnoxious fea-
ture Of the tariff bill, the zinc SEIZED
ule,-the object Of which is to make
dearer the paint for their houses and
the wire for their fences. He cannot
give a good reason.

The Coming Building Material.

Concrete is composed of cement,
sand, and fine rock or gravel. It's man
ufacture is as old as the Roman Empire
but it is only Of late years that Portland
cement has been known; and that the
wonderful combination of cement and
steel, -reinforcd concret,-has become
an important factor in building opera
tons, especially in supplanting struc-
tural steel. So far as the supply is con-
cerned and likewise the value of con-
crete as a building material its position
as a competitor of stone or as supple
ment to stone in building operations is
in most instances unassailable, while
the reinforced concrete beam and col
umn have, in the opinion of many
engineers, great advantage for certain
purposes over steel framing. The con-
stituents of concrete are not only unlim
tied in quantity, but they are widely
distributed, so as to be cheaply procur-
able in every section of the country;
and when properly made it seems to be
not only the equal, but in many repects
the superior, of the very best building
stone, excepting probably the question
of appearance. Moreover, it is useful
in a score of ways Where stone and
brick cannot be economically employed.
Sand and rock or gravel are, of course,
present in every State in the Union in
absolutely inexhaustib1e quantities, and
the materials for the manufacture of
cement are only slightly less widely
distributed and plentiful.-From New
Tests for Building Construction, by
Guy Elliot Mitchell, in the American
Review of Reviews for August.

Agricultural College Strengthens
Short Course.


Short Course.
The short course in agriculture in
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin has been remod
eled in several ways which strengthens
this practical course of instruction for
farmer boys of Wisconsin. The most
notable change is that of the schedule
to include laboratory subjects in the
forenoons, together with lectures, in
stead of having lectures alone during
four hours of the day. This change is
of special Importance, as it makes the
work less tiresome, since every student
has some practice work between the
lecture periods. 1t will also aid the
students in getting a better understand
ing of the subjects, since lectures will
be followed Immediately by laboratory
practice, giving both the theoretical and
the applied side of each subject.
Several new courses of instruction
are offered this year for the first time.
A course in farm management will be
given by Prof. D. H. Otis, recently
promoted to professor of farm manage
ment.
