Wireless Operators In Demand.

"Wireless operators-steady de-
mand," is the market quotation hung
up in the navigation bureau Of the de-
partment of commerce and labor. The
federal officials believe that eventual
ly all ocean craft will be equipped with
wireless telegraph apparatus and that
the posts aboard ships should be
tempting to operators.
About 600 vessels on the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans and the Gulf Of
Mexico are already so equipped, an in
crease from about $50 year ago. All
have to get certificate from the COM
missioner of navigation. Heretofore
all have been examined at the various
navy yards, but for the convenience
of telegraph operators living in Interior
towns arrangements have been made
by which they may be examined by
the military authorities at Fort Oma-
ha. Neb., the examinations there to be
conducted from time TO time.

THE PASSING OF THE CARPET
TACK.

A gifted poet once wrote some i'm
mortal verses on "The song of tht
shirt" At this time of the year We
long wished that some versiflel
would tune his Tyre and sing the sone
of the carpet ack.
It would truly be a iugubrious ditty
telling of aching backs. dusty air, and
the elusive and sardonic Joy of the
tack when he yields up his head ta or
der to keep his feet In the floor.
Having felt through personal eK-
perience very keenly the sorrows of
the taking up and putting down carpet
season, 1t Is with heart felt emotion
that We welcome the gradual disap-
pearance Of the carpet tack, due to
the growing custom of using loose
rugs and carpet squares. It seems quite
possible that the carpet tack will pass
into such oblivion, that any lines the
pet might offer would scarcely be
und rstood by another generation.
Certainly cleanliness and eonven-
ience are both promoted by the new
styles of floor coverings. And don't
get too fussy about the portions Of the

to them with call, they move to
vacant seat and send out word that
they are not in their seat. The page
who has to deliver this message,
which is not lie, generally comes In

goes to the gallery and, seeing that
the member is on the floor goes back
to the unlucky page and vents her Ire

not without human instinct, generally
reward the page for his trouble. This
"Female-caller" nuisance is not a new
one and while women continue to be
unreasonable the waiting rooms Of the
