Hero In Humble Llfe.

A pathetic case of dying mans
forgetfulness of self occurred the 9TH
er day at the village of Old Colwyn,
North Wales. A sewer was being
built when a portion of the trench col
lapsed. Two men were buried under
the earth. The surveying staff, four
doctors, and some others were quick
ly at work, and hearing the faint cries
of the entombed men labored heroic
ally to remove the heavy mass of soil
in time to save life. An elderly man
named Lloyd was first pulled out.
and between the gasps he was heard
to say: Never mind me, boy. Look
after the other man." He died while
the rescue work was still going on
After arduous labor the second man
Morris Edwards. was reached and ta-
ken to the hospital.

hold Methods.

1t has been. figured out in schools of
domestic science that the average
method of shelling peas takes about
i've motions to each pod, whereas no
more than three motions are neces-
sary.
Place the dish of peas in front of
you, placing the empty dish for the
shelled peas in front of that, reach
forwScd. getting a pod, pull it toward
you, split 1t with the fingers at the
same time. By the time 1t is over the
empty dish the motion of the finger
will strip the peas into that recep-
tacle, toss the pod to one side and
repeat
Tne old-fashioned method has gen
orally been to put the dish of un-
shelled peas in front of you, leave
the receptacle at the right and the
one for the pods at the left This ne
cessitates bending the body, turning
the head and making all sorts of un-
necessary motions between the three
dishes, resulting in loss of good ener-
gy and many good minutes of time
wasted.
Dustpans are made today with long
handles. 1t would be just as absurd
to sweep the floor with whisk broom
as 1t would be to use a short handled
dustpan. In using the old-fashioned
dust pans the sweeper has to stoop
many times to get up all the dirt. max
ing 1t twice as hard.
The broom is very cumbersome to
handle while STOPPING, the back is
strained, the face is close to the un'
healthy dust and everything is wrong
Use long handled dustpan, stand
erect, The dirt can be swept into II
just as neatly and with twice as much
comfort and saving OF energy.
The same holds good in washing
dishes. Many women put the draineI
on the left of the dishpan, necessitat
ing the wasted motion OF reaching
across the pan to place the washed
dishes 20 drain.
The Eaturaf motion is simply tc
