MORE STEEL CARS.
All of New Haven's PulIn1ans, Steel or Steel Underframe by
 Dec. S1st.

As result of special efforts made by the Pullman Company to expe- dite the delivery of new equipment to the New York, Ney Haven & Hart ford Railroad, about 80 per cent. of the Pullman cars now in operation on that system are either all steel or of steel underframe and steel end con Etruction. Furthermore, the Pull man Company has just assured Chair man Howard Elliott that by Decem- Der 31st every Pullman car in use anywhere on the Company's lines will be of that character
 For some time now practically all the sleeping cars running between New York and Boston have been all steel cars, or cars with steel under frames and steel platforms. This has also been true of all the parlor cars on the many through trains op- era1ed between Boston and New York. By November 1st. the Pull man Company has assured MT. Elliott, all of the sleeping, combination and observation cars in use on the road yill be of steel or steel underframe construction and the few wooden par Tor cars remaining then will have been replaced by January 1st.
 There are required at this time of year, when the winter schedules are n effect, 155 Pullman cars, made up Rf 22 combination cars, 80 parlor cars, f5 sleepng cars and 8 observation cars. The summer servce calls for 217 Pull

THE HOMECRAFT COURSE

In the homecraft course just insti- tuted in the Wadleigh High School, New York City, the attempt to meet practical demands in girls education is seen at it's best, according to off cia1s of the United Statets Bureau of Education. The homecraft course is for girls whose interest is in up-to- date shonle-naking rather than in ad- vanced literary or scientific study. The work is taken chiefly by students who do not intend to go to college, but who wish to make the best use of their is particularly recommended for those who expect to stay in school only two years or less.
 The course is both practical" and cultural It answers the everyday needs of girls who mean to be real home keepers and it affairs abundant opportunity for studies that are for enjoyment as we'll as for work. Do naestic science and domestic art, with household arithmetic, study of voca- tioIs, -c1othing-its care and remod- elling,'' are prominent subjects the first year. Drawing, music, biology, English and physical training are re- quired subjects, with current history, English history, and modern lam guages among the electives. Latin and advanced mathematics are con spicuous by their absence.
 In the second year hygiene and san itation are added to the requirements and other studies may be chosen from a. list which includes millinery, house hold chemistry, European and Amer- ican history, history of women's work arts and crafts. and modern Ian guages.
 Household management, a re- quired study, is a, feature of the third year of the course. Applied design and applied physics are among the subjects that may be selected by the students. Tn the fourth year the girls delve a little deeper into the phil

WOODEN SHOES MADE
 IN THE UNITED STATES

Tn this country beech is the fla vorite material for wooden shoes, the manufacture of which has reached considerable proportions in the Unit ed States according to the department of agriculture, which has just issued a bulletin the use of the wood. These shoes, the department says, cost from 60 to 75 cents a pair and are good for two years. They are worn by those who have to work in cold wet places, such as tanneries, breweries, and livery stables, and by workmen in steel mills and glass fac tories who must walk on hot graees or floors. Farmers, too, are classed among the users.
 Beech wood is put to a very much wider range of uses than the aver age person would be likely to sus- pect. The department says beech enters into hundreds of articles from hobby-horse rockers to butchers blocks. We walk on beech floors, eat off beech picnic plates,- carry beech baskets. play with beech toys, sit on beech chairs, and in dozens of other ways use articles made of beech almost every day of our lives. Its freedom from taste fits the wood especially for articles which come in contact with foodstufs, and beech meat boards, skewers, lard tubs, but ter boxes, sugar hogheads refrigera- tors. dishes, spoons, and scoops are widely used.
 Only one species Of beech grows naturally in the United States, but few trees in this country have a, wider commercial range. It extends from the Gulf of Mexico into eastern Can ada, and in practically every place where it grows it is cut for market The total yearly output of beech wood in the United States is approximate lV ROO million Td

Repairs are made upon the racks From which the cattle feed, Bins overflow with grain and corn. Against the time of need. Great piles of wood about tne door, Bring reminders of the glow, They will impart when hills and vale Are coated deep with snow. With cider in the cellar,
 And stored vegetables galore. With nuts to dry that neatly Spread upon the attic floor. Pigs roam at will about the sty, And are given of their fill, Coaxed into widest gulttony, Against the time to kill. The hens, those pesky critters. Strut about in lordly way: Having had busy summer. They have now refused to lay. So eggs go soaring up sky high. City housewives groan and rave, Over this Fowl proceeding, Fraught with consequences grave. Dainty cakes to tempt the appetite. Must be curtailed in supply, Buildings made in scant proportion And cut short on pumpkin pie. Thus do hardships crowd upon us AS we view with great alarm, The near approach of winter, With a shortage on the farm

 Throughout the course the empha- sis is on applied, rather than theoret- 1cal knowledge; and the work is so arranged that regardless of whether a girl completes the four-year course or leaves before she finishes she has acquired a fund of workable ideas of direct value to her in the immediatet problems of her life. At the same time the course is not narrowing. Girls who take it may, if they desire, elect some of the more usual studies from the regular high-school courses. Fur thermore, they are prepared to meet the admission requirements of the Columbia University School of House hold Arts and similar higher institu- tions for young women.
