Pushing and Pulling.

It has been wisely observed that
most operations can be more efficiently
performed by drawing them along
through their proper course than by at
tempting to push and jam them
through, just as 1t is much easier to
pull rope than 1t is to push it, There
are probably not many persons who
have tried to push rope. but very
many have attempted things almost as
perverse. In many manufacturing es-
Establishments. for example, there may
be seen numerous examples of men
wasting a large part of their energy
endeavoring to move heavy pieces or
work upon small trucks, pushing and
laboring in the exerdop of effort,
small fraction of which goes to cause
the actual progression. Even when
such an effective aid to transport as an
industrial railway is installed 1t Is Of
ten used at less than its proper eff
cheney because there Is too much push
ing and not enough pulling. -Cassier's

Do You Want to Got sIender7

A food specialist said Of dieting:
1.-THE simplest. easiest and most effica-
cious diet to bring down the weight is
the one dish diet. At no meal. that Is.
should more than one dish be eaten.
The dish may be what you will-Irish
stew. macaroni and cheese. roast beef.
vegetable soup. bacon and eggs-but
no courses are to precede or follow It.
You may eat as much as you choose
of the dish. and yet, for all that, you
will lose weight steadily. It's the va
riety of dishes-the oysters, soup. fish,
turkey, mince pie. Ice cream-it's the
variety of dishes. creating an arti
fetal appetite when the body has real.
ly had all it requires. that causes cor.
pulence. If we confine. ourselves to one
dish we know when we've had enough
we don't know otherwise-and the
result is that we soon drop down to
the slimness natural to children. ami
mails and temperate and healthy men
and women."-Kansas City Star.

Bags That Last.

1.-THE young chap whose morals |
tremble for just now is my nephew"
the city salesman remarked. HE has
q position as errand boy In banking
house. He Is a bright lad and as
steady as they make em, but since he
got that job In the bank his women
relations are urging him into crime.
They do not advise him to pick his
employers pockets or run away with
the days deposits. but the principle in
volved is just as reprehensible. They
ask him to abstract a few bags that
the silver money is carried in. The
women want those bags for sofa pill
low covers. They are made Of mate
rial that will never wear out and
feathers and down simply cannot sift
through. By boldly asking for what
he wanted the boy has secured enough
bags to incase his mothers sofa pill
lows, but If he supplies the rest Of the
family see nothing ahead of him but
a career of crime."-New York Sun.

Caddies Rise in Revolt.

The golf caddie has risen in revolt
at last, and the golfers pet privilege
is thereby seriously endangered
Hitherto the player has considered the
links an excellent place for giving
vent to his feelings. And, lastly
when one grew tired of anathematis'
ing clubs, play, the ball alike, there
always remained the caddie! But
now the caddies Of Bray, Ireland,
mean to put an end to this state OF
affairs. A strike was proclaimed, and
an indignation meeting held around
the first hole. Finally, amid many
things, it was decided to complain of
and protest against the strong Ian
guage that was used to them and in
their presence, and which they were
forced to swallow and endure In
silence and humiliation!

Weed Makes Food for Wonder.

Interesting operations have recent.
ly taken place on the Haining Loeb in
Scotland. For well nigh century
now this loch has been frequented by
a microscopic floating water weed
which in the summer time causes great
discoloration of the water, turning II
into a muddy brownish color. In win
ter the loch regains its natural color,
the weed sinking to the bottom. The
plant belongs to the great division of
freshwater algae. Recently there
was dissolved in the loch over half a
ton of sulphate of copper, and accord
ing to all appearance, the weed has
been killed. 1t is interesting to note
that in no other loch in the British
Isles is this plant to be found.
