| u
Salters Depot, May 16:-The clos
ing exercises of the Salters school
last Friday evening in the town hall
were opened with neat and appro-
pirate address by Mr. Emmett Davis,
in which he voiced the regrets of the
school that the teachers. Misses Co.
rinne Arthur and Susie White, would
not be with us next session, both
having sent in their designations.
After the address the regular closing
exercises took place, which held the
attention of the very large crowd
the whole evening. Lanes, Greedy.
vile ,Kingstree, Taft and other points
in the county and State were rep
resented. The programme was well
rendered and teachers and pupils
alike deserve much praise for the
excellent performance. The pro-
gramme of the occasion was:
A DREAM OF FAIRY LAND.
Scene 1.-Two little orphan girls
wandering in search of Fairy Land
fall asleep by the wayside and dream
they are found by the good fairies
and made members of their band.
Soon the bad fairies entice them
away.
Scene 1.-THE good fairies, in
search of the little newcomers, pray
the aid of the good angels.
Scene III-The little strangers,
finding the bad fairies have deceived
them, long to get back to the good
ones, ,and finally come upon them and
are welcomed home. At last the
bad fairies are won over to the good
fairies and the little girls wake up.
Their dream is over.-

Even in Simple Occupation of
Showing Science Proves an
important Factor.
EASY THING TO PROVE 1T
For First-CIass ShoveIer There Is Civ
en- Shovel Load at Which He VIII
Do His Biggest Days Work
--One Secret of the
Science.

In his second article which recent
ly appeared in the American Maya
zine, Mr.. Frederick w. Taylor shows
graphically how scientific manage
ment displaces the old, crude rule-of-
thumb methods, even in such simple
occupations as shoveling. He writes:
Although the reader may be con-
WINGED that there is a certain science
back of tn handling of pig iron, still
it is more than likely that he is still
skeptical as to the existence of a sci
ence of doing other kinds of la
boring.
For example, the average man
would question whether there is much
of any science in the work of shovel
ing. Yet there is but little doubt if
any intelligent reader of this paper
were to set out deliberately to find
what may be called the foundation of
the science of shoveling, that with
perhaps fifteen or twenty hours of
thought and analysis he would be al
most sure to have arrived at the es-
sence ofthis science. On the other hand,
so completely are the rule-of-thumb
ideas still dominant that the writer
has never met single shovel con-
tractor to whom it had ever even oc-
Cured that there was such a thing as
a science of shoveling.
For the first-class shoveler there
is a given shovel load at which he
will dc his biggest days work What
is this shovel load? Will first-class
man do more work per day with
shovel load of five pounds, ten pounds,
fifteen pounds, twenty pounds, twenty
five, thirty or forty pounds? Now, this
is a question which can be answered
only through carefully made expert
ments. By first selecting two or
three frst-class shovelers, paying
them extra wages for doing trustwor-
thy work, and then gradually varying
the shovel load and having all the con-
ditions accompanying the work care
fully observed for several weeks at
time by men who are used to expert
menting, 1t was found that first-class
man would do his biggest days work
with q shovel load Of about twenty
one pounds. For instance, that this
man would shovel a larger tonnage
per day with a twenty-one-pound load
than with ar eighteen-pound load Of
his shovel 1t is, of course, evident
that no shoveler can always take a
load of exactly twenty-one pounds on
his shovel, but nevertheless, although
his load may vary three or four
pounds one way or the other, either
below or above the twelty-one pounds,

ARE ADVISED TO PAINT
BOYS AND GIRLS LEARN MORE
OF NATURES BEAUTY.
Should Get Out Into the Fields and
Try to Put Down What
They See.

In a practical talk on landscape
painting for boys and girls, in the
Woman's Home Companion, the au-
thor says:
IF you wish to discover the real
beauty Of the out of doors, learn to
paint. Even though you do not yet
draw very we'll, you may still attempt
to work in ccior and may learn draw
ing and pailting in the same picture.
If you car get the shapes of objects
fairly well, and can set them down in
thoiv relative proportions, that will do
Cor beginning.
You may use water colors, pastels
or oils. Oils are by far the best The
great pictures of the world have been
done In oils. 1t is the best medium
for students to use, because it re-
quires large and direct handling:
faults are more readily seen, and, If
you can use oils well, you can Iaint
in other mediums without much trou-
Bile.
IF you can study with g good land
scape teacher. by all means do SO.
If that is not possible, there is still
much that you can do by yourself, for
nature is the great teacher, and every
one who wants to paint well goes
constantly to nature Go out into the
fields and look and look, and then,
with the best skill you have, put down
what you see. Every time you look
and study you will paint better for it,
and every tine you paint, trying care
fully to reproduce on your canvas the
shapes and colors of nature, you will
see more and better"

two minutes later the Wonder Work

the vinegar cruet out of the mayors

Uncle Peter was wearing a small

Crime BROUGHT to Liaht.

An extraordinary crime was brought
to light recently in an accidental man
ner at Zaborze, in Silesia. Sweeps
were engaged in cleaning the large
old-fashioned chimneys at the house
of the landowner, Czekalla, when in
the chimney of one Of the bedrooms
they met with an obstruction. After
considerable difficulty the men sue
ceeded in extricating a black object,
which proved to be the remains of a
human leg. Realizing that they had
stumbled upon traces of a crime, the
sweeps summoned the police and a
thorough examination of the. chimney
was then made, and the remains of
what was evidently the body of a
young girl were brought out, black
ened and hardened by the effects OF
the smoke. Doctors declare that the
corpse, which is believed to be that OF
a girl aged eighteen, who disappeared
about year ago, must have been in
the chimney many months. The po
lice are now following every possible
clue in the hope of arresting the per
petrators of the CHASTITY murder, for
that the girl was murdered before her
body was placed in the chimney the
expert examination leaves little doubt

New Way of TESTING Metals.

Experiments made in Budapest have
shown that the spark rays made by
the incandescent particles thrown off
from iron and steel when put upon an
emery wheel afford means Of test
ing the composition of the metals.
Carbon steels, manganese steel, and
steels containing tungsten and nickel.
each give characteristic spark, of
different form and colors, which are
easily distinguishable. The form of
the spark picture changes with the
quantity of carbon. Ever so slight a
difference as Dol per cent. of carbon,
it is said, can be detected in this man
ner. Pointed branching lines denote
carbon steel; tool steel shows the ap-
pearance Of blossom" on the branch
es; tungsten steel gives red streaked
rays and shining points, with little
balls thrown out of the formation; and
an explosion appearance in the arti-
culation denotes the precence of
molybdenum, vanadium or titanium.

RUDE AWAKENING FOR ELIZA
itor Was Not the Object OF
Her Alteration.

The gentle Eliza was sitting drearily
m the darkened room, waiting miser-
ably for a visitor, whom she feared
would never come. To tell the truth,
Eliza and William had quarreled bit
terly the night before But what is
that? A ring, step, a masculine
voice. She waited not, but threw
herself into the visitors arms.
"0h, my darling!" she sobbed, with
her head upon his bosom. Il am so
glad you have called. l did so long

Cement Gun.

We are familiar with the rivetting
gun, and the hydraulic gun. Now we
have the cement gun. This is not a
new weapon for the navy, but a ma
chine for squirting concrete NOR
tar in stucco form upon a surface of
any kind. The apparatus consists of
a compressor, with gasoline engine
and two tanks, mounted on an auto
mobile truck One tank carries the
dry mixture of cement and sand, and
the other contains the water, and both
are under pressure. A noval feature
is that the dry cement mixture and
the water are pumped separately to
within an inch of the nozzle. At this
point they are mixed, and so thor
oughly that a perfect combination is
discharged upon any surface, rapidly
building up a very solid concrete
structure.
