CONVENIENCE in PAINTS.
Business Now Has Grown to Include All
Processes.

Progress has been made in the manu-
facture of paints and varnish, and the
high grade quality manufactured in this
couLtiv stands second to none, SAYS the
Detroit Free Press. An idea of the pro-
portions of this industry may be seen
when it is remarked that the business of
several Detroit manufacturers amounts
to very large sums each year.
Sixty years ago painters ground their
own white lead and made their own put
ty. One machine these days turns out
more putty of q better and more even
grade than all the hands of all the paint
ers and carpenters then. Formerly,
when painters ground their own colors a
stone slab and muller formed the entire
apparatus, but now, when grinding has
become a separate industry, efficient ma
chinery has been devised for grinding
and its collateral operations.
Everything is being manufactured for
the consumers use and comfort. For
merly the carpenter had to prepare his
own wax and his stains for the wax
floors. Today he is shown blocks of
wood at the paint store finished in differ
ent styles. He can buy materials to du-
plicate the effects
So has the artist been assisted. In the
old days he had to make his own canvas.
When cOlors were first put up they were
dealt out to him in little bladder The
artist would prick hole in the skin,
squeeze out the required amount of paint
and tie up the end of the receptacle with
a string. Now he is provided with col
lapsibe tubes.
The manufacture of paint has happily
become modernized and the grade inf
nitely improved. The selling price is
cheaper foE the quality involved than
ever in the history of the industry.

Where Women Are Not Repressed.

While woman suffrage agitation is
rampant in England and Germany and
several other countries of Europe it has
never so far cut a large figure in France
the reason being, probably, that the part
played by women in the business and
public life of France is so considerable
that they have no time to bother about
demanding additional rights.
4 dispatch from Paris contains the
following picturesque setting forth of
conditions existing in a burg where wom-
an suffrage would hardly be likely TO
confer upon the sex any advantage
which it does not at present possess:
The little town of Froissy has lust an
pointed a woman as station master Her
husband is only a trainman. This town is
governed almost exclusively by women. ana
the only post of Importance held by man
is that of mayor The station master is n
tall. powerfully built woman. The barber :
shop next the depot is kept by a woman.
the postmaster is a woman, several town
councillors are women, and the only letter
carrier is a woman of over fifty. who walks
twenty miles a day But the Crowning
triumph for the feminiSts is the municipaI
drummer, a woman of society. who has SuC-
ceeded her late husband, and by common
consent, does the work better than he did.
1t might be interesting to get inter
views from the men of Froissv. hnt
perhaps they would be too discreet 10

THE FIRE PEOPLE.

There's a family dwells in the fireplace.
And they live In a wondFous way;
Their sky is always purple and green,
While ours is blue and gray.
They have wonderful ships in the fireplace
And lakes and a golden sea:
And ! dream sometimes that they anchor
there,
And offer ship to me.
And right in the midst, in a golden chair.
Sits a little gold lady asleep;
And down in the corner shepheFdess
Calls ever her golden sheep.
There's a Gothic church in the fireplace.
With windows of gold and blue;
And pews where the tire-family sit
And murmur their AYES through.
And wish and wish, as / lie quite still,
And the ire-folks talk to me-
That l were the lady who sits asleep,
In the midst OF the golden sea.
And I wish and l wish, as the gray duss
falls,
We were fire-folks, you and l;
And we'd sail away in the ships Of gold,
Meath the green and the purple sky.
And we'd sit in the pews of the Gothic
church,
And we'd share in the golden grace;
oh, wish and / wish that instead of here
We lived in the fireplace.

Lieut.. John Turley, on the desk at
the new West Twentieth street police
station, bit into a good thing and kept
it-towit, a $3.50 pearl.
Say, Mat" said Turley to Doorman
Matthew Craven, I'm as hungry as
well, never mind what; I'm hungry. Go
over and get me an oyster sandwich and
some coffee"
Craven got back in a jiffy, and Tur-
ley sank his teeth into the sandwich.
Suddenly he stopped, said something
unprintable and held his jaw in both
hands.
whats the matter Amt it any
good? Get a piece O. shell?' queried
Craven sympathetically.
While the lieutenant gripped his jaw
the doorman took penholder and ex-
plored. Out of the half-eaten sandwich
rolled the pearl. Turkeys hands came
down from his jaw and possessed it.
After a while he took it to a friend who
knows all about those things and asked
him about it.
Worth about $780, said the friend

Methods of concrete and steel con-

the collapse of the new 100000 bridge
at Peoria, Illinois. Engineers are very
ambitious in the utilization of concrete
for spans, and it is possible that esti-
mates may have to be revised in the in
terest of safety. The fact that steel
bridge builders met with disaster at Que
bee after many years of experience and
experiment is evidence that mistakes can
be made even by those who believe they
know all about requirements for weights
and stresses in the utilization of steel
and concrete for bridging.

The complaint of fishermen who use
old-time methods on the Newfoundland
coast, against the steam trawlers which
haul in the drag nets by mechanical
power seems to have given the British
admiralty a "happy thought" 1t is
now experimenting with steam trawlers
in sweeping channels for submarine
mines, and is said to have met with so
much success that a number of up-to-
date steam trawlers have been engaged
for immediate service with the navy.
The submarine mine was conspicuous
in the naval struggle between Russia
and Japan, and the necessity of some
device for the location and removal of
these underwater terrors was made APP
parent by number of sudden disasters.
But the mine trawler will doubtless be
something Tar more effective than a
transformed fishing steamer, after the
marine architects have had an oppor-
tunity to apply their genius for improve
ment.
