LADY THAT ALWAYS SMILES
How Servant Identified Caller on His
Mistress-Loft Sunbeam in
His Heart.

Some of us would be more sur
prised than pleased If we knew the
impressions we make on the minds Of
those who know us only slightly How
many of you girls are remembered as
pleasantly as was the lady described
in the following incident?
A lady called at the house of a
neighbor on an errand; but, as the
family were away, she asked the hired
man to tell his employer that she
would call again. Being in hurry,
and not thinking but that the man
knew who she was, she did not leave
her name. The lady of the house re-
turned before the rest of the family.
and the man told her that lady had
been there who said she'd call again.
"Who was it?" inquired Mrs. H.
ooh, don't know her name," re-
piled the man.
But you should have asked her."
said Mrs. H., 80 we would know who
had been here. Can't you tell me any
thing by which can know who came
Where does she live?"
II don't know" said the man, "but
she's the one that always smiles when
she speaks"
The pleasant look and the courteous
manner In which the lady had spoken
to the servant had been noticed and
remembered. leaving sunbeam n
that mans heart.

TO TRAIN CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Bodily Defects Sometimes Entirely
Cured by Physical Exercises
Directed by Teacher.

Corrective physical training for
crippled children is of great import
ance, as bodily defects can be partly
and sometimes entirely cured by spe-
cial physical exercises under the di-
rection of a trained teacher.
Twenty-three such classes for Grip
pied children, with an enrolment of
over $50 children, were carried on
free of charge in New York last year
by the Peoples University Extension
society of No. 1O5 East Seventeenth
street.
Ninety-six free classes in annual and
domestic training were given to an
enrolment of about nine hundred Grip
pied children by the same society, be-
sides "a free classes for mentally de-
fective children.
The manual work taught included
basketry, bookbinding, chair Gaming,
economic cooking, dressmaking, ele-
mentary carpentry, embroidery, cord
work, sewing, shirtwaist making and
weaving. One badly crippled boy of
ten learned chair Gaming so quickly
that he soon hung out a sign for
chairs to cane.
One of the largest departments of
the work of this society is supplying
free lectures by physicians to meet
ings of tenement mothers, giving
them simple practical advice about
the care of children and prevention OF
contagious and other disease More
than $1,000 mothers were given such
instruction last year in English, Ital
ian, German and Yiddish.

the other by means of series of cog
wheels operating in relation to each
other. The feet of the mannikin have
grooves running transversely to en-
gage the wire or cord on which it
walks. A rod with weight on the
end, forming pendulum, is attached
to the hand of the figure. AS this
pendulum swings 1t moves the arm
back and forth and the correlated
cogwheels cause the legs to move
backward and forward and the figure
to walk as if human. The ease with
which the mannikin retains its bal
ance is one of the most spectacular
features of this entertaining perform
ance.

FAvoRABLE TO PENDLEroN.

The original plans of the Wash
ington-oregon company called for
the construction Of an interurban line
between Walla walla and Pendleton.
According to the directors of that
company they had financial arrange
ments made for tSeir prospective en-
terprise. Work would have been
started over a year ago had the mayor
OF walla walla not vetoed the fran
chise granted the company by the
council of that city.
Following the rejection of their re-
quest for franchise the Washing
ton-oregon people changed their
plans. They have made Pendleton
their headquarters instead of Walla
walla They propose to build an in
terurban system with this place as the
base or center of operations. The
company has announced that its first
line will extend from this city to the
west emu OIL the GULLY.
The change in the company's plans
has been highly beneficial to Pen
dleton. At the same time it has been
good business policy for the company.
The company has power to sell, or
will have. This county affords a fa-
yorable market. According to the
representatives of the company it will
be better for the company to sell all
its power in Umatilla county rather
than part of it here and part in Wal
Ia Walla. 1t would be an extra ex-
pense 'for the company to maintain
an equipment in Walla Walla too.
Besides the Northwestern company
has plenty Of power for Walla Walla,
though not enough for that city and
for Pendleton also. Therefore the
present company is vulnerable in this
county and the Washington-Orego
company is going to take advantage
o. the situation.
Surely Pendleton can afford to well
come the new company and give it
all reasonable assistance and encour-
sgement. II will be worth much TO
Pendleton to have an electric COM
pany and traction company having
headquarters here and working for
the upbullding of this city. Pendle-
ton is tired Of being a sub-station for
the Northwestern company.

THE LARGEST TRANSFORMER.

When the thousands of horsepower
of the rioting waters of the Stanislaw
river in California, wasted for so many
centuries. has been saved by the steel
blades of giant turbine water wheels
and changed into electricity, the larg-
est transformers in the world will pre-
pare this electrical force for long
distance transm ssion to the far away
cities and towns, where it viii be used
to light the streets. run the railroads
and turn the wheels of industry
BY way of explanations Water pow
er at low pressure can only be trans
mitted through great canals at slow
speed But water at high pressure
can be forced through a very small
pipe so that a smaller quantity of wa
ter under high pressure WI produce
as much work as a lot of it under low
pressure. This is equally true Of cleo
tr.city. At the power house on the
Stanislaw river the electricity is gem
Grated at "a very low pressure. 1t
would require many heavy copper ca
bles, costing hundreds Of thousands
of dollars to transmit this electrical
energy under low pressure to the dis
tant cities. It is Gthe office of the
transformer" as it's name implies,
to raise the pressure of this electrical
energy SO that it can be forced over
q very small wire The saving in cost
Of copper alone is big item and then,
too, there is not so much of the prec-
ious energy wasted when it runs over
the wire at a high pressure
A few years ago a transformer of
fifty kilowatts capacity, wound for
-four thousand volts, was considered
an achievement. A few years later
a text book on electricity was issued
showing a transformer which raised
the current to a pressure of 10000
volts as an instance of what might be
done.
When these worlds largest trans
formers stood on the test floor of the
General Electrical Company's plant
in Schenectady, N. Y. ready for ship
ment to California, each unit weigh
cd more than twenty eight tons. Ea ch
transformer occupied floor space OF
nine by five feet and stood seventeen
feet high. The core of each device
contains more than four miles OF
heavy copper wire with capacity OF
5000 horsepower raised to a pres
sure of 13s,5O0 volts. Before ship
ment each machine was tested with
pressure of 100000 volts to prove
the insulation.
Without the transformer the mil
lions of horsepower which are now
being developed from the various
rivers and streams and used in the
cities and villages for manufacturing
and railroad work, as well as for
heating and lighting, would be impos-

area by better and more scientific sys-
TENS of agriculture This is the only
solution for the present problem of
cheaper food, In all probability it
will solve itself by natural means.
The great profits which farmers are
now making will immensely slim
ulate agricultural activity. Doubtless
it will attract to the agricultural clas-
ses a higher order of intelligence and
result in the one necessary thing of
increasing the product per acre. BY
this method the farmer viii not only
maintain his present profits, but will
at the same time considerably en-
large them; meanwhile giving the
consumer the benefit of larger and
cheaper supply of food"
That there is some merit in this
view cannot be doubted. An increase
in our agricultural products should
tend to lower the cost of living. But
all the trouble does not come from
lew production. Much harm comes
from the formation of combines and
corners to boost the price of farm
products after they have left the
hands OF the growers.
Then again Increased agricultural
activity would not lower the price of
COAL of lumo of oil, steel or other
trust controlled lines. 1t is alright
to advise closer farming methods and
more farming. But it is useless to
try to make the farmer the chief cul-
prit in the cost of living inquiry The
men really guilty are those who are
piling up enormous fortunes while
farmers are merely making an honest
living.

CHINANiEN AND DOGS.

That the Chinese do not look upon
dogs in the same light as do caucasi-
ans is declared by Henry D. Baker,
an American counsel in the orient.
In a recent report Mr.. Baker offered
the following advice to American
houses seeking business among the
mongolians:
II was impressed with the possibil-
tiles of pictorial advertising as a
means of promoting American trade
in China. The Chinese appear to have
q fondness, amounting almost to a
veneration, for pictures, and for
eign art especially excites their at
tention, because of its difference to
what they are accustomed to. The
people have an especial fascination
for calendars, and they never throw
away a well-ilustrated one, but al
ways keep it in a prominent place.
In supplying advertising calendars
for China some attention should be
paid to the special tastes or preju-
dices of the people. was told of one
American company which had made
n serious mistake in having used pic
lures of a dog in its advertising
posters. Dogs in China are mostly
distinguished as street scavangers and
are not cherished family pets rs in
the occident. Pictorial advertising
makes it easier for American manu-
facturers to popularize their trade
marks. and once a certain trademark
is popularized no article in that par
ticulsr line will be bought unless it
bears that trademark"

PRODUCTION AND PRICES.

Henry Clews believes that increas-

THE true remedy for present high
prices is a general increase of pro-
ducts and raw materials, of which
the supplies generally are moderate.
II not actually deficient. This coun-
