INFLUENCE OF SALT WATER

Americans Globe rrotters.

There are many American girls
who pride themselves on being globe
trotters. A trip to Europe is insignifi.
cant to them; they have been around
the world so many times they speak of
1t as something not unusual. But they
do take pride in knowing the art of
travelling. of getting along without 80
many petty annoyances that almost
give inexperienced travellers nervous
prostration. They are sweet tempered
and merry and never seem to be ruf.
fed by any unexpected circumstance.
One Of those experienced girls when
asked why she got along so easily, re.
marked: We'll, I soon learned few
essential things and l never have any
trouble: It is a mistake to travel in
ones own hair. It always gets crum.
pied and struggling in the salt air. and
so always wear few pin curls in the
day and keep my own hair fresh for
the evening. Furthermore. / always

"Oregon ranchmen have a brand

said a westerner.
Film makers demand their serv.
ices and pay them handsomely for rid
ing bucking horses in front of the
moving picture camera or for taking
part in an alleged western drama
The cowboys like the idea.
THE old ranchers are sore and i'll
conceal their hostility. They declare
the pictures only make onery cowboys
and give easternefs wrong ideas Of
2ife in the cattle country.
"As matter Of fact, they say. rid
ing bucking horses is but small part
OF cowboys life. As for the tradi-
fional western drama, where the
rancher's daughter .marries the he
roic cowboy who tolls, the traditional
gun fighter Of the frontier, the dwell
ers Of the range country have only
contempt" ..~

Know Your Work and Do Il.

There is perennial nobleness and
even sacredness In work; were he
never SO benighted. forgetful of his
high calling, there is always hope
in a man that actually and earnestly
works; In idleness alone is there per.
petual despair. Work. never so nam.
monish. mean, is in communication
with nature; the real desire to get
work done will itself lead one more
and more to truth, to natures ap-
pointments and regulations-which
are truth. The latest gospel in this
world Is: Know thy work and do It.
Know thyself- enough has that
poor self Of thine tormented thee:
thou wilt never get to know 1t. be.
lieve. Think It not thy business. this
of knowing thyself: thou art an un.
movable Individual; know what thou
canst work ct. and work at Il like
Hercules! That will b thy bstter
plan.-Thomas Carlyle.

TWIST THAT MADE THE ROPE
In March Of Labor-savins Invention;
Rope.Makino Machine Was
Last on List.

There is nothing more prosaic than
q rope, or that enters into q greater
number Of homely occupations; and
yet in the march Of labor.saving in
vention, q rope-making machine was
one Of the last on the list. SO long,
indeed, did rope.making remain one
Of the manual arts that the name OF
the place where the work was done
has become ingrained In popular
speech; and the rope factory. though
in no way meriting the appellation, IL
still known In some quarters as the
''rope-walk." 3:
Formerly 1t was considered fact
worthy Of note that the government
rope-walk at Boston could turn out
rope 1920 feet long.
A young workman In rope-walk
saw that the twist should be applied
10 the rope instead of the strands, II
machinery was to take the place Of
the hand in rope-making, and he re-
allied fame and fortune from the con-
ception. His opportunity came with
the proposition to grapple for the
broken ends of the Atlantic subma.
rtne cable in the sixties.
A rope fully 10000 feet long was re.
quired for the graphing, but the task
of making one of this unheard-of
length could not be undertaken seri.
ously by any rope.maker then in the
business.
At this juncture John Good came
forward with a proposition to build
machinery from his own designs and
make rope in one piece as long as
was wanted, t.. :
The offer seemed q bold one. but
was accepted. The machinery was
built. the rope. made. the break: In
