days ago. and It was said that under the
decision the company would have TO pay
the government about 100000.
Mr.. Jeffery said that the amount was

SINGING RED HOT RIVETS
Daily Show In skyscraper That Is Be-
ing Erected Attracts Crowds in
New York.

At the northwest corner of Broad
way and Reads street, New York, they
are erecting new skyscraper. The
ironworkers who are putting up the
steel framework give a free show
every day to people on Broadway by
singing red hot rlvets.
The rivets are red hot when the
singers throw them and they can
easily be followed by the eye, even
though the ironworkers are working
five or six stories in the air. The men
who tend the furnace and heat the
rivets have to keep moving lively to
keep the riveters supplied with rivets.
AS soon as rivet is red hot one of
the furnace tenders removes it with a
pair of long handled tongs. With a
quick underhand sling he sends it
flying through the air to another iron.
worker rs or 80 feet away, who
catches it in a small keg. Then the
receiver takes the rivet out with
pair of longs and passes it over to the
ironworker who hammers it into
place with the compressed air riveter.
From constant practise the men who
sling the rivets are able to throw them
from any position or to any reasonable
distance or height without missing.
They cannot afford to miss or the red
hot rivets might drop down on some.
body's head. 1t requires skill to sling
the rivets. The man on the receiving
end must be quick too if he wants to
catch the rivets and he must have
his nerve with him all the time for
usually he is sitting astride a steel
beam perhaps 100 feet above the
ground.

SHALL CHINESE QUEUES GO?
Oriental Nation Agitated by PROPOSE.
ton to Discard the Ancient Gus
tom of the Manchu.

The great question now agitating
China is the proposed abandonment of
the queue. 1t is a matter of pigtails,
with which not even threatened parti-
tons by Japan nor the open door"
ranks in Importance. Prince Tsai Tao
is responsible for the controversy,
which has assumed a formidable
phase. The fact that he is brother
OF the regent gives his argument
weight, in brief, that the Chinese so
long as he wears his hear in a queue
is at a disadvantage compared with
men of other nationalities. The prince
proposes that the members of the i'm
perial house sever the cherished ap-
pendage, after which compulsion
should be exerted upon high officials,
students, policemen, soldiers and the
common people. The regent at first
strenuously opposed the suggestion.
but later advices indicate that he may,
consent to the innovation. Meanwhile
the mandarins are in revolt They see
IN the proposed abandonment of the
queue signs of revolt against the Man
chu dynasty.
The fact is that the pigtail is not
OF ancient origin. 1t began to be worn
when Nurhachu invaded the middle
kingdom and captured the city of Lao
Tang. Many Chinese deserted to his
standard, and in order that they might
be recognized by his army and not put
to death by mistake, the conQueror or.
dered that they should adopt the Man.
chu custom OF shaving their foreheads
and wearing the queue Thus it was
that the queue was not altogether a
badge OF conquest, for it savors of
humane concession to the conquered.
Soon after, however, prisoners of war
had the alternative given them of
adopting the queue and suffering de-
capltation, and a choice between los

In the end the entire nation accepted
the change, and it was not long till
every Chinese not only took kindly to
the innovation, but grew so proud of
the advantage that he bitterly resented
an abbreviation of any kind. So it is

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
it is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne.
LL.D.-F.R.S. of London spend the
best parts Of their lives in studying
the great question Of the nourishing
and Strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
