was the kind Of test the man had TO meet,
and 1t was moro than a matter Of good
common school education, It was teoh-
nical and expert. and the standard set
was professionally severe
1t is something like that the ilremen are
asking now-not an absolute return to
the old system, but combination OF the
good features Of both old and new.
They think too that the uniformed
force should have something 10 say about
its own discipline. They want trial boards
similar to the courts-martial Of the army
and navy; that is. the men Of good be-
havior do. while the black sheep would
rather 60 on being tried by the Commits
sioner or his deputy.
The Fire Department has kept itself
fairly free from the blight OF politics.
az compared. for instance. with the Police
Department. but politics does creep into
the trial room. and by the same token
discipline creeps out. The chiefs and
captains think that this will be true as
long as politicians sit in judgment.
man is under charges, let us say. Of
drunkenness OF tardiness or disrespect
to an officer. His first move IL he IL
guilty is to lay the case before his dis
trict leader.
The district leader is perfectly willing
to intercede with the Commissioner
who very likely IL a district leader him
self and likely TO be asking consideration
Of the same kind In some other department
So they lay their heads together and the
little arrangement is easily effected.
and the drunkard or the insubordinate
gets on with a reprimand or a small fine
where he deserves 10 be dismissed. Why.
these are the easiest favors a politician
can grant. They confer obligations and
they cost nothing-except the effi cheney
Of the department.
That, briefly, is the argument OF Chief
Croker and his associates who for years
have pleaded for trial boards. Let us be
judge and jury, they say, and it will be a
pretty clever rascal who will get away
from us. who know all the tricks OF the
trade. They contend too that fremen
are better judges OF the facts at issue
than even the most unprejudiced and un-
selfish laymen. facts which only men Of
actual experience can appreciate.
The scheme does not contemplate a
trial board composed for long periods OF
the same officers. Politics might weave
it's web about such q court too. The
members would change 80 frequently
that culprit would never know who his
judges were to be.
With the matter Of trial boards the
Civil Service Commission has nothing 10
do. II il up to the Commissioner. who
by law prescribes rules for the govern
ment OF the department. So il becomes
simply question as TO when the city
shall have a Commissioner who will con-
sent to try the experiment.

Judfcious Use Of Paint Counts for
Much in Preservation of Furnish

Attention need hardly be called to
the amount of preservation that may
be done by the judicious use of paint.
Many an object formerly pnpresent.
able is made good with a well-applied
coat Of paint.

tables that coat Of varnish would

IL not guarded from the, weather.: all
these things and many articles of fur
niture might easily be restored to
newness by few coats OF paint.
Mixed paints can be bought, and
these require no expert knowledge of
handling. After the can is opened q
stick Of durable wood about the thick
ness OF ones finger is required to stir
the mixture SO the paint and oil may
coalesce. The stirring should be done
thoroughly, ten or fifteen minutes ba,
Ing necessary, ; 49,. 49,.
A pint of linseed oil can easily be
used In a pint OF paint, and this will
make the quantity Of paint applied one
quart. This does not spoil the effect
and Is used when the painting is, half
done and is beginning to thicken.':
Only small quantity Of Hnseed oil
should be added at q time. It does not
take long to learn when there Ia

T. When the wood uses up too much of
the paint only avery light coat can be
applied for the first, and when this is
perfectly dry a second and a third coat
can be given with satisfaction and a
saving Of paint.
Woods that do not take much paint
need only have two coats applied, and
this Il! SUFFICIENT in almost. every case
where planed wood is being painted.
= All inside woodwork may be done
by the housewife, with the assistance
of q stepladder. This painting Is done

soon, slip in tight place, may send

Here's story in point: A man
named Dave Mckay was working out
on 9OO-foot railroad bridge over q
river. The bridge was built and the
trains were already running across.
Mckay. was down on a scaffold some
20 feet under the middle. His helper
= green country recruit, had tied the
ropes that held it. There were two
ropes, one from each end. The first
rope the helper had tied round wood
en- beam between the tracks, and next
in dreamy kind of a way he had
tied the second round one Of the rails
Then he slid down, and the pair be-
gan peaceably working.
Some moments later a train came
laundering out. All Of q sudden Nc
Ray heard snort. He looked round,
and saw the youth staring straight up
at the track, with his mouth wide
open. calculating look in his eyes.
His freckled face grew slowly white.
Moray seized his arm.
Say" he demanded, "wot's eatin'
you?" -.
His helper looked round, gave one
frantic shout, and dived for the river
10 feet below. Just then the train
roared overhead, cut the rope In two,
and down went Moray, grabbing the
scaffolding tight. He hung by the
other rope, and said good deal. When
the train had gone. he went up hand
over hand to a steel truss, and from
there, looking down, he saw the head
Of the youngster, who wRs7cswimming
hard for the shore. He. made quick
calculations. Then he climbed up to
the track and ran like a deer. But
by the time he got to the river bank
his helper was already ashore and
had lit out over the fields. The bridge
never saw him again.-Ernest Poole.
