Luncheon for Working Girls.

Those Paris shop girls. or mid
inettes, whose small wages do not per-
NIT them to lunch in even cheap res
tauTants, will no longer be able to use
the Tuille-ies garden as a place for
eating the food they bring from home,
for the reason that they have been &C
customed to leave little things be-
hind them, such as paper bags, on the
paths. The committee which looks
after the beauty of the parks has for
hidden the midinettes to eat their
frugal repast in the garden. Happily
a municipal councillor has come to the
rescue of the girls, and has started
an interesting scheme which will en-
able them to eat their luncheons in
the open air as heretofore.
In those squares frequented by the
work girls free refectories are to be
established. Here the millinery and
dressmaking hands can bring their
food. They will find tables, benches,
and even stoves. The cost of keep
ing up these open-air refectories will
mean a penny a day for each girl. The
city of Paris will pay half; the other
half will be borne by the employers
Of the midinettes and charitable insti-
tutions.
The free open-air refectories for
work girls will be in full swing be-
fore the return of winter.

Boring Machine for Stump Burning.
above the bottom of the trench. A fire
is then kindled in the trench, and, as
it burns, some of the fire is drawn up
into the hole by the draft. This fire
feeds upon the stump and the hole
burns larger and larger until the
stump is practically all consumed.
Usually the stump burns down to
a depth of 16 or Is inches below the
surface of the ground, which is well
out of the way of the pillow. The tar
in pine, of course, aids materially in
the burning, and 1t is on pine lands
that the method is in use.
The holes are usually bored by an
ordinary auger, according to Popular
Mechanics, but the work is so slow
that especially constructed augers of
the type shown in the illustration
have made their appearance in many
parts of the country, particularly In
Alabama. The outfit shown weighs
about sixty pounds and consists Of a
IL inch ship auger about six feet
long. mounted on a truck and stand
ard, and turned by crank mechan-
ism. With this machine it is possible
to bore holes five feet deep in very
short time, and it is said that two
men can bore and burn as many as
100 pine stumps a day.

Increasing Use of Asbestos.

The development of the asbestos in
dustry in Canada has led to a notable
increase in the industrial applications
OF that material. 1t is now used for
steam packing, cloth, rope and yarn
making, furnace lining, boiler cover
ing, building material and electrical
insulation. About 10000 tons of as
bestos paper are used yearly for pro-
lection from fire. Employed for cell
ings, together with wood or metal lath-
ing, it is said to offer a positive bar
rier to the passage of fire from one
floor to another. Material for roofs
and light buildings is made by passing
a sheet of annealed steel at a high
temperature through bath of cement
compound. which appears to enter the
grain Of the metal, and then applying
pure asbestos felt to both sides of
the sheet by pressure between hot
rollers. The resulting material resists
fire, water, gas and sulphur fumes for
an indefinite period, while possessing
the strength, rigidity and hghtness
of sheet iron. Youths Companion.

Immunity From Wire Leaks

Engineers have for years faced the
problem of electrolysis in cities,
where escaping currents from street

responsible for damage to buried
pipes, wires, steel beams and similar
material The Laclede Gas company
of st. Louis has recently been cover

pipe is first coated with a tar and

spirally, its edges overlapping This
paper covering is then tar painted and
again wrapped with paper, the process
being repeated until four successive
coats Of tar and paper have been ap-
piled. Pieces of pipe thus insulated

conditions distinctly favorable to cleo

REMOVE ALL, FRUIT MUMMIEs
Withered Peaches Should Be Re
moved From Trees Just as Soon
as Can Be Seen and Burned

After all the fruit has ripened ano
gone and the leaves have FALLEN there
Will still remain on many OF the
peach trees the dried up remains OF
peaches. These dry, withered peaches
are called mummies, probably be-
cause they are dead and yet seem to
exist long time without rotting.
Mummied peaches will hang on the
tree all fall and winter, and often till
far into the following spring, when
the new growing buds and shoots
push them off. To all appearances
they are harmless.
But the mummy on the peach tree
is source of great evil in the fruit
orchard business; on its sunken hide
1t carries hundreds Of thousands OF
spores of disease. Next year these
spores, If allowed to remain in the or
chard, will be carried by wind, rain
and other agencies to other trees, to
cause the growing and ripening crop
to rot. Many years the peach trees
blossom freely, abundance of fruit
sets and grows to maturity, the
peaches begin to color and ripen,
when all at once, within few days
time, they all begin to rot. Almost be-

a large and valuable crop of perfect
peaches now is only more than worth
less rotten trash, and all has hap
pened before We could help ourselves.
The remedy for disease in the or
chard caused by spores is spraying
and washing with Bordeaux mixture.
This mixture will kill and keep in
check nearly all fungous diseases if
the treatment is given in the right
way and at the right times. OF course

to form legs, but it answers all the

Furthermore, so small Is the holder

crosspiece that slides up and down on
the uprights holds the nozzle Of the

stream of water is thrown depends
on the altitude of the crosspiece.
When the crosspiece sets low the hose
is nearly horizontal and the stream
cast accordingly. To throw the water
higher the crosspiece is moved up
near the top and the holder given a
backward slant that points the hose
nozzle skyward.

all attractive apples, and command

ing them. They DO particularly well
in Kent county. and this county may
be taken as typical of much of the

until August, and then seeded to
crimson clover. Thorough spraying
Is, of course, absolutely necessary.

MOVING Currant Bushes.

A correspondent from Missouri
writes to know the best time to move
currant bushes and how the work is
done.
Wait until late in the fall, dig up
the bushes with as much dirt around
the roots as possible and set out in
the new location.
The soil should be dug up to a
depth of two feet, more or less, and
well fortified whit rotted stable ma
nure. Disturb the roots as little as
possible and firm down the ground all
around them. Keep the weeds away
next spring and the bushes will prob
ably get along all right.

We seem to be learning anew In

the Importance of self-control. In
less hurried times, when men gave

luxury adds new link to- the chain
which ties him to the wheel. With
most people it doesn't take more than
week for brand new luxury to be-

happiness depends.
Money grabbing is one of the most
abject and pitiful forms Of slavery.
Over the desk of a certain prominent

would determine to become his own
boss-they would find plenty of inter
est and variety and excitement in the
job.
To be your own boss means that
you are able to use your time to the
best advantage. Instead of wasting
that leisure half hour before dinner
every evening, you spend it reading
or studying along some line which
may help you in your work. At first
you drive your unwilling mind to the
task. But, after a week or two, it be-

you know your own abilities and your

that you will not fail because of any

a new job with that splendid self

To be your own boss means that

the look of master in your eyes.
