Maine and her fatal wounds win be exposed.
 The construction of this series of cylinders Is the work now under way. Half of the 20 cylinders are down now. They are made of Lackawanna sheet steel billings and about 15O piles are needed for each Each cylinder is 50 feet in diameter and each pile Is 75 feet in length.
 Steam hammers mounted on barges are used to drive these piles, and four of them are at work at the same time. The bed of the harbor is soft down to about 60 feet. Below this the piles must be driven into from 10 to 15 feet of stifr clay. As the cylinders are completed each is filled with clay, scooped up by an immense steam dredge from a bank near Regia-
 The cylinders are connected by an arc on the outside, which joins each cylinder by a "three-way" pile. The pocket between the arc and the cylin- ders will also be filled with clay and thus prevent leakage between the cyl finders. In other words, there will be 20 big, round affairs that look like gas tanks, filled with clay and locked together around the sunken wreck. It will take, 1t is calculated, about two days to pump the water out of the space within the circle of cylindrical gas tank affairs and more time to suck the mud out
 After the vessel is exposed" the work of raising the Maine will begin. How to proceed, what course to pur- sue, what equipment will be required. all these are questions that only time and the preliminary work of exposing the wreck to view can answer. For no one knows the vessels condition. No one can say with accuracy wheth- CT or not the vessel can be floated. If 1t be humanly possible, the holes in the ships's sides will be patched up, the water let in through the dam of cylinders, and the hulk fioated If the bow Is beyond repair, the Maine will be cut in two, bulkhead and stern fioated.
 The Cuban government is assisting the United States in this work most cordially. A wharf of sufficient size, conveniently located in Casa Blanca, just beneath the walls of the Cabana fortress, has been set aside for the work. To place the cylinders, ordin- ary round piles are driven at the axis of each. Around this central pile Is f1oated a templet of wood, made in sections for ease of removal The sheet piles are shipped in lengths of 25, 35, 40 and 50 feet, and are bored and provided with hsh-plates and bolts for assembling into lengths of 75 feet The piles for complete cyl finder are set up around templet and then driven to the required depth.
 After any remains of the dead found in the wreck have been removed and the necessary examination has been made, the actual removal of the wreck will be begun by whatever method is found most economical and advan- tageous. It now seems probable that this will be to sever the shattered DOT tion of the hull from the after part, to build a bulkhead across the cut sec ton, to remove the shattered parts piecemea1 and finally to float the un, broken end away from Havana

My little boy came home last Sunday with a story about a wall in a town named Jericho being blown down by fellow with a horn. Now, why not hunt up this fellow-Joshua, I think his name was-and get him to sign a testimonial that it was a horn of our make that did the trick? It'll be the biggest kind of an ad. for us."-Puck.

ONLY WORK COUNTS
WOMAN IN BUSINESS SHOULD
 NOT BE SENSITIVE.
She Is Not Paid Because She Is Pretty or Stylish, but Because She To Useful to the
 Business

The woman who finds herself facing the problem of earning living should Immediately proceed to get rid of her sensitive feelings, if she has any. She would do we'll to try to sink her per sonality during business hours and keep saying to herself that only her work counts, that she Is not paid be- cause she is pretty or stylish, but just because she is useful to the business which pays her wages. When she fails i1 that her good looks will not save her. A capable girl with, perhaps, neither beauty nor style, will succeed her.
 The employers who are hiring girls for their charms are few, and the girls who have to work are many. Femi- nine workers are striving to secure the wages of men, which can only be done by doing mems work. Now men do not expect praise and 1t does not turn their head when it is given AS a rule they do not accept reproof as a personal injury.
 The just employer gives both praise and blame. When he pays promptly he expects good work every day and not according to the feelings of his workers. When there is a valid req son for leniency-like illness, for in- stance-he is kind, but for shirking he has no mercy. A man who em- ploys more than fifty women told me that he had no trouble with them be- cause he treated them exactly as he would treat men. His creed was so much work for so much money and he reasoned that no woman had right to accept a position she could not fill. I think. that was fully understood by his office, for he was in the habit of going away and returning without warning, and he seemed satisfied with the result.
 Women are not yet accustomed to being treated with the lack of cour tesy which makes the atmosphere of business place. A man whose brain is turning over important plans cannot give particular attention to the tone in which he addresses an employee. It may be brusQue without his knowing it or intending any unkindness. A man would pay no attention to tone as long as words were decent, but to wo mans sensitive ear the tone is every thing It seriously affects her work, so business men claim, and it is the necessity for avoiding trouble that turns them in favor of male workers. I saw badly ironed sheet taken back to the kitchen recently by a woman who is never anything but kind to her employees. When you find clean clothes that look like this, Mary, do not bring them to me; do them over. The girl burst into tears with the re mark that nobody had ever found fault with her laundry till then. It re- quired some reasoning to bring her to a proper frame of mind, and the wo- man decided to replace her by one less sensitive at the earliest oppOr- tunity. It came last week.-Betty Bradeen in The Buffalo Enquirer.

No More ~rIcket-of-Leave" Men.

The old ticket-ofleave system-the staple of many an honest melodrama after Charles Peace-has at last gone altogether. Henceforth the discharged convict really anxious to make a clean start will not be brought into direct contact with the police. Up to now the convict has been supervised by the police on the one hand and cared for by various philanthropic societies on the other, and there has been no co operation between the police and the societies. The new scheme is to com. bine into a central body the societies which have hitherto aided discharged prisoners and to give this body author ity to deal with the convicts and funds to carry on the work This body will be responsible for the convicts whose interests it serves, and the police will have no more dealings with discharged prisoners so long as they keep from further crime.-From the London Sat urday Review.
