THERE is A RIGHT AND A
WRONG WAY TO DO
EVERYTHING.

You Might as Well Have Your jew
elry repaired properly when the
cost is no greater.
A good many think that simple
JOB like putting new pin in a
brooch can only be done one way,
and that il makes no difference
where the work is done.
Next time you have some jewelry
to repair, bring it here and you will
see the difference. We take just as
much pains with ten-cent job as
we would with one costing as many
dollars.
Every article of jewelry left here
to repair Is polished and refinished
like new, and you will be surprised
at the Transformation of some of the
old pieces Of jewelry that you are
about ready to throw away.

USE OF ODD LENGTHS IN
LUMBER.

The Department OF Agriculture Dis
cusses This Matter.
Washington, d. c., September q.
The investigation carried on last
year by the U. s. Department OF Ag-
riculture, cooperating with lumber
manufacturers in the South, to de-
termine the saving that can be ar
fected by using odd lengths of lum-
Der as we'll as even, has begun to
bear fruit. That investigation
showed that material saving was
practicable, and at recent meeting
of Southtrn lumber manufacturers
association the fact was brought out
that beginning has been made in
putting the new plan into practice,
and that an increase in the sale of
odd lengths is anticipated for the
near future.
1t was formerly the custom, and
generally is SO still, to sell lumber
in even lengths only. Waste result
ed trom~cuthng off the ends OF odd
lengths to make them even. A con
siderable percentage OF a sawmills
output isdefective. That, is boards
have had knots, decayed spots, or
split ends, and the defective parts
are cut out. To make an even
length of what remains, it lis often
necessary to cut off a foot of good
wood with the bad, and it is wasted.
The practice of marketing odd
lengths as we'll as even is meant to
lessen this waste. The sale of odd
lengths of lumber will frequently
lessen waste in the woods also; for
example, long may be cut fifteen
feet long which, following the old
custom, would be cut only fourteen,
and the extra foot would be left in
the woods.
The introduction of odd lengths
meets with opposition from many
builders who are prejud ced in favor
of even lengths simply because they
have never used any other kind.
Nevertheless, there are many places
in which odd lengths are more econ
omical than even ones-for instance,
where nine-foot studding is used.
| Following former custom, the ends
must be cut from the even lengths
to make the timbers tit. Some man
ufacturerS of flooring successfully
sell odd and even lengths, thus les
SEEMING waste in the woods, at the
mill, and in the construction OF
| buildings.

a WISCONSIN PROPHECY.

In June, 1873, according to the
ward J. Ryan, chief Justice of the su-
preme court OF Wisconsin, gave this
prophetic warning to the graduating
class of the University of Wisconsin:
There is looming up a new and
dark power. | cannot dwell upon
the sign and shocking omens OF its
advent The accumulation of indi-
vidual wealth seems to be greater
than it ever has been since the down
fall OF the Roman empire. The en-
terprises Of the country are aggre-
eating vast corporate combinations
of unexampled capital, boldly march
ing, not for economic conquests Gully,
but Tor political power. We see
their colors, we hear their trumpetS
we distinguish the SOUND or prepa-
ration in their camps.
For the first time in, our politics,
money is taking the field as an or
ganized power. Already, here at
home, one great corporation has
tritied with the sovereign power and
insultea the state. There is grave
fear that it and it's great rival have
confederated to make partition of
the state and share it as spoils.
Wealth has its rights. Indus
trious wealth has its honors. This
it is the duty of the law to assert
and protect, though wealth has
great power of self-protection and in
ffuence beyond the limits OF integ-
rity. But money as a political in
iluence is essentially corrupt; it is
one oil the most dangerous to free
institutions; by far the most dan
gerous to the free and just admin
lstration of the law 1t is entitled
to fear if not TO respect.
TThe question will arise in your
day, though perhaps not fully in
mine; Which shall rule, wealth or
man; wnich shall lead, money or in
tellect; who shall ill public station,
educated ana patriotic freemen or
the rfeudal serfs of corporate capt.

The Music Typewriter.

Music teachers orchestra leaders
anu all anusicaily lncIineu people
know something OF the arduous la
Dor required OF a composer III writing
down lne many thousands OF notes
for the, orcnestration OF a musical
work OF the larger order. Hitherto
there has been no way to shift this
manual labor. but now after years of
experiment an Italian inventor is re-
ported to have succeeded in making
a music typewriter He calls it an
acknowledgement" and he claims
that it will reduce to minimum the
labor of recording compositions and
copying parts for orchestras. bands,
choruses, etc, without resorting to
the slow, tedious and expensive pro-
cess of hand copying, note by note.
This invention has not yet appeared
on the American market.
