DRIVING A NAIL.

One who thinks that the driving of n

whole length OF II out of sight has
little conception Of the real nature Of
the operation. says the Scientific Amer
lean. A nail driven by an expert will
often hold several times as much as
one III driven. while too. II is often
made to draw the parts into place. IL
you have ever watched a mechanic
driving nails you have doubtless noted
that he rarely drives one at right
angles with the face Of the work.
There Is reason for this. Suppose that
he Is mailing the ''sheeting" on the
frame OF a building and desires TO
draw the board down tightly against
the one below II. lie points the nail
downward. and few we'll considered
blows at the last produce the desired
effect. IL the board Is bent edge wise. so
that much force Is required. probably
he Will start the nail In the upper edge.
pointing very sharply downward.
Again. two nails driven I'm a board at
different angles Will hold Il I'm place
much more firmly than the same nails
would III they were driven at right
angles with the face OF The board
Did you ever notice that In driving
a nail In very hard wood one man will
do II successfully. while another sue
ceeds only In doubling the nail up be-
fore the point has fairly entered the
wood? The difference lies In the fact
that the expert strikes the nail fairly
and not too hard. 'coaxing'' II In.
while the other strikes too hard and
with indirection. Ii may be properly
mentioned right here that In driving
a nail into very hard wood II is usual
ly profitable TO dip the end In OIL or
grease. This will not scrsibly inter-
fere with the holding qualities OF the
nail, while 1t will be found to very
materially facilitate its driving.

The public school IN or ought 10 De-
pure democracy. Any considerah bic
distinction OF the pupils by way OF
dress defeats the equality aud frater-
nifty of the school and should be-
frowned upon. Every Guild should be
made to feel entirely at home In the

Parents should keep the desire for
expensive school clothes out OF the
heads OF their girls.
IL matters not II the parents are
financially able to buy fancy clothes.
They are out OF place I'm the school

Besides
Such dressing fosters a trait In girls
that needs no encouragement. In

clothes. but these need not necessarily
be expensive clothes. There Is plenty
Of time further on in their lives for

Poor Margaret North.
Desire for dress. that craving for
beautiful things which has ruined the

her an early victim. She has paid her

some OF the Wonderful Things a
Which u ls Capable.
The camera. which divides time into
thousandths OF a second and records
the Impressions OF each. makes perma-
| nent pictures Of events which pass too
quickly for the dull human retina to
recognize. Ii Is only through tie cam
era that the motions OF the wings Of
dying birds and Of the legs OF swift
running animals have been anaiyzed.
To the camera the fuzzy drivers OF the
swiftly speeding locomotives stand
out clear cut and stationary. while
each dying drop OF rain In the driven
storm Is distinct and seems trozen In
Its place. The tarpon fisherman. ia
miliar with the first Wild leap OF the
frenzied fish as 1t casts hook and bait
fifty feet in the air, sees first In the
finished picture the outstretched gills,
the convulsive opening and closing of
which had escaped hts eye. however
closely he may have looked for It.
Often the eye OF the camera will de-
cipher documents OF which the writing
had been substantially obliterated by
age. and I have successfully copied
with the camera the utterly faded pho
tograph Of a classmate Of forty years
previous and thereby been enabled to
present to a grizxied veteran a like
ness OF his curly haired youth.
Changes in the pigment Of the skin
understandable by the eye appear with
distinctness on the sentative plate. and
it Is said that ample warning OF ap-
preaching disease has been thereby
given.

THE SQUARE DEAL.

1Oung man-
Do you know why there is such a
large proportion OF failures In bust
ness In this country?
Do you think IL is because OF lack
OF experience or or energy or OF proper
location or OF management or OF proper
advertising!
All these may have something TO du
with business failures; but. according
to business man who has made his
millions. IL Is lack of something else.
And what do you suppose Is that lack
Lack OF downright business honesty
You do not think so: you have come
to believe perhaps. as many young mel,
do believe. thar knowledge Of the bust
ness, tricks of the trade" sbrewdness
In getting the better OF a bargain. the
ingenuity OF deceit-tbat these are the
qualities 10y which men get on in the
world today.
That is where you are mistaken.
The millionaire mentioned. whose
name is known throughout the coun-
try. says:
I'm not n preacher or moralist
business isn't thing to preach or
grow sentimental over. But Il Is So
simple I'm principle that only a fool
| mistakes it-and fails"
Continuing. he says:
Twenty-Five years ago ! discovered
for myself that honesty was the easiest
graft known 10 business. IL can't fail
In the hands or n man with common

A very strong statement that.
But the mrn has proved Il. he start
ed up In business determined uponla
policy of making good" 10 every GUS
toner
His definition OF making good was
the Golden Rule-that is TO say. he de-
termined 10 treat every customer OF
his precisely as he would want 10 he
treated III be- were the customer. And
from that policy he reaped a fortune.
Simple?
So simple. as be says. that "only a
fool mistakes it-nnd falls"
There never was enunciated a trucr
statement than that OF the old copy-
books. Honesty Is the best policy"
But. you say
isn't honesty principle rather
than policy" IL is both. Undoubt-
edly this would be a fine world were
all OF us honest because OF principle.
AS winning policy OF procedure In
business IL is 1.-THE easiest graft

DO not get II into your head that
rascality pays. Dishonesty spells

THE TEASEL
a Queer Plant With Water Tr.ps For
Hs lnsset Victims.

|, Its Insect Victims.
Among CON mon plants there are few
more remar Sab.e than the teasel.
There Is lit, doubt, says a well In
formed natural. history contributor 10
the London Chronicle. that the teasel
Is as much flesh eating organism as
any spider that ever spun a web.
Moreover, Its method Of securing its
victims, though quite as ingenious as
that Of the spider. Is much more COM
prehensive as well as more efficacfous-
Not only does this extraordinary plant
capture all species OF flies aud gnats.
great or small. but caterpillars. slugs.
wood lice and the like Avail frequent
victims.
How this Is brought about forms one
OF the most wonderful incidents In ma
lures fascinating story OF the year.
The spider weaves her net OF the finest
silk; the teasel makes her snare out
or dewdrops. The plant grows up
straight as church spire. throwing
out Its leaves In pairs at intervals up
the juicy green stem. The twin leaves
unite mt their base to form a deep
cup, and the leaves are so contrived
that the moisture precipitated on them
runs down into this reservoir.
A well developed plant will thus
catch and hold IN four or Eve of these
water traps full half pint of LIQUID.
and the heat OF the sun appears to
evaporate so little OF 1t that the cups
VIII be brimming even at the close of
hot June day. The smooth, steep
leaves all lead down into these pits.
and their gradient gets sharper as the
water Is approached.
Thus the teasers victims are made
to walk the plank" to their death, and
once In the water there Is no hope of
return. They soon drown, and every
teasel well has at its bottom n layer
Of slime formed by their disintegrated
bodies.
II is Of course difficult to prove
that this deposit is absorbed by the
plant as nutriment, but careful dis
section Will show mt the base Of each
cup ring of apertures-sink holes. In
fact-which lead into the substance of
the stem and the presence Of which
affords little room for doubt on the
matter.

The girl was afterward arrested and

The judge fned her SOS, which was
paid by her father.
According to the fathers statement.
the girls humiliation might have been
averted but for the desire to excel In
dress. She wanted to emulate the ex-
ample Of girls whose parents were
rich.
MY daughter has frequently told
me-" he said, that unless she could
be dressed as well as her chums they
would not want to associate with her.
My daughters sad case should be a
warning to other girls Of middle cir
cumstances who try to emulate girls
whose parents are wealthy"
Mr.. North says his daughter asked
him with tears in her eyes for a new
gown for the select party. He felt he
could not afford to crafty her. On
the impulse OF the moment she secured
the gown by false pretenses and made
the misstep which brought her bitter
disgrace and her family deep chagrin.

woman took notion that she was
tired OF living with her husband. She
tiled her petition in this judges court.
snd In three days. her husband being
absent. she had her decree or absolute
divorce.
Which Is the limit OF get-divorce-
quick.
This woman by the kindness OF the
court was able to rid herself or matri-
monisl bonds In about the tune 10
takes for two gypsies to swap horses.
Some one said OF Goldsmith that
He threw OF his friends
AS huntsman his pack
For he knew when he wished
he could whistle them back
This woman shook OF her husband
with the same abandon. Knowing doubt
less that IL she could not whistle him
back she could as easily whistle an
other.
But
Suppose all our jurists should follow
this prompt judges procedure.
Then any tickle woman whose head
Is turned by some adventurer. any
foolish man attracted by some affinity,
would be able to dof the old and don
the new like unto u change OF gar
ments.
And Rome IN her day of dissolute-
ness would be clean by comparison.
In those later days OF Roman moral
debauchery 1t was mostly the very
rich who made marriage an empty
ceremony. The common people could
not afford the luxury.
Should an era OF lawful immortality
under the guise of quick aud easy d.
vorce like that exemplified by certaIu
OF the rich set and stage people be-
come the order OF things among the
mass OF our people you would need 10
revive the theory OF literal hell Of
fire and birthstone to ftly characterize
our society.
Divorce may be necessary evil In
our day and in extreme cases. but it
ought to be hedged about by every
possible restriction of law.
Divorces while you wait, Ike that
granted by this western judge. should
never be permitted.
Instead OF loosening the provisions
OF court procedure, judges should re-
strict them.
Fortunately the laws OF most states
are strict along this line, requiring a
reasonable length OF time under due
legal notice or publication.
In cutting new channels for efficient
legislation this western state has
bravely led the way for many reforms.
but in so doing the state has very nat
uraily produced some freak Legislation
and freak people.
Among freak laws and freak judges
these recent methods certainly afford
shining examples.

AN OLD WOMAN.S SAY.

George Bernard Shaw is an eccentric
freshman who writes problem plays.
| Once In awhile Shaw gets hold of a
big truth.
In a recent play OF his a scrubwom
an gets up from her task OF hopping
the marble floor OF the English war Of
nee and engages In argument with the
chief OF the war council.
Decidedly the shrewd old woman
gets the better OF the war lord In the
debate. which is about war and equal
suffrage.
The working woman very bluntly
says that woman In childbirth runs a
greater risk than the soldier on the
Datteneld-and for better purpose.
Which Is a poser for the general.
Moreover
In the course OF the discussion the
plucky female says that men are sol.
diers because the loss OF men In war
Is less Injurious to the world than
would be the loss Of like number or
women,
There. now.
Is there not lot OF truth In the old
iady's homely statement? The more
you think OF 1t the more you are like
to compare 1t with the boys wad.
which. 1.-The more you chaw 1t the big
ger IL gets"
The old. threadbare reason for deny
Ing to women the rights OF suffrage on
the ground that they cannot bear arms
In battle Is rather disposed Of. and
oae begins to see. IS claimed by the
scrubwoman. that the soldier is a
mere loafer by the side of the woman
who performs woman's function,
The soldier destroys; the woman pro-
duces.
Now the statesmen OF England,
whose lighting Is done by proxy, have
prohibited Shaw's play.
You see. they don't want the women
to get the scrubwoman's argument
into their heads.
The statesmen want the mothers of
the common people to go down into
the valley OF the Shadow of Death
about once year In order that they
may bear SONS who will be food for
the dumdum bullets OF the dervisn
driven natives OF Arabia. the sanatical
lighters OF South Africa or the mutt.
neers Ia India.
The women OF England and OF the
world have been furnishing this battle
food for many generations. and down
through the centuries has come tho

Ing to be comforted because their

Fully emancipated. she will refuse to

declare blood feuds for pure purposes
OF greed. She will tell the lords Of

And that will end war.
