INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL IN THE BALKANS

In Salonica is an industrial school
modelled on the type of Hampton In
stitute. Its principal, the veteran
missionary, DR.. ]. H. House, writes
of it as follows in the Southern
Workman:
Besides the academic department
there are also the farming, carpentry,
masonry, tailoring and shoemaking
departments. Farming is the occu-
patton in which every pupil gets some
instruction, as all are obliged to
study the theory Of agriculture, and
each boy in the trades works at least
one day week on the farm for the
sake of health and physical develop
ment. Farming in our schools in
eludes gardening, horticulture and
sales.--future; besides general farm
work. There are over 1900 mulberry
trees on the fa9n for raising leaves
for feeding silk worms. Our silk CO.
coons are the finest in the market.
In the vineyards there are over 5000
grape vines and a good many fruit
trees-almonds, apples. pears, plums,
apricots, cherries, persimmons and
walnuts-all upon the land which ten
years ago was a barren, treeless
waste"

CHINESE POOR SOLDIERS

The Chinaman is a poor soldier.
Not that he is lacking in courage.
for ON occasion he cheerfully sells
himself as substitute and goes will
ingly to the eXecutioners axe in or
der to provide his parents with the
small sum necessary to support them
through life. The strength of an
army is in team work, and here is
where he fails on account of his
aversion to being ordered. This is
found in his domestic and Industrial
work. A general line of policy or de-
sired results can be laid down, and
he will faithfully work in accord
ance Herewith, but he dislikes to be
followed through the details of the
work with frequent orders. He will
produce excellent results. but they
must be accomplished in his own
way. Hence. the essence of good
militarism-prompt and unquestioned
obedience-comes in direct conflict
with his nature and makes him poor
soldier. However, this trait is not
entirely wanting in other nationali-
ties, as every business man knows
to his sorrow, and the difficulty of
getting employees to do thing in
the prescribed way IS one of the
constant anxieties Popular Mechan-

THIS JOB WOULD MAKE
ALL HOUSEWIVES WORRY

The housewife looks forward with
dread to spring housekeeping, for
that is the bette noire of the year.
She is hard put TO it, with her four
or five rooms and a kitchen, but con-
trast this task with the cleaning Of
1l,000 rooms once a month.
That is what happens in the Penn
sylvasia railroads wards at Sunny
side, l.. I. More than $50 cars day
are cleaned not only from end to end,
but from side TO side, and outside as
well as inside. And these cars in
clude only those used on the long
distance trains and the dining cars.
The traveller who boards train
does not realize that the shining and
spotless coaches returned from a long
run only few hours before, but il,
he had come in ON the train and
then remained on board after the
passengers We're discharged at the
Pennsylvania Terminal he would have
been carried beneath the East river
to the Sunnyside yards, and might
have seen what housekeeping really
amounts TO wnen it is done by eX-
perts.
First the carpets are taken from
the cars-four days on the floor Is
the limit-and hung on frame and
vacuum cleaner is put to work. AT
the same time men with compressed
blowers have cleaned the seats until
the dust that swirls out of the win
dows resembles clouds of smoke.
After these men get through others
arrive with mops and clean the floors.
The steel frames are covered with
a mixture of cement and ground cork.
and are much easier to clean than
wood Women scrub the steel wood
work" of the cars with cloths.
The outside of the cars, too, re-
| ceives attention. Experiments are
constantly being made with various
solutions of oil and soap on the red
| paint, that is often covered with a
| fine dust after a long run.

Gold Mining in
Yukon Is Still
Quite Primitive
Only in Two Places Are Steam,
ShoveIs Used-Scarcity of
Water Makes SIuicing Very.
Difficult.

report has recently been issued
by the United States Geological Sur
vey ON an investigation of the gold
placers in the basin between Wood
chopper and Fourth of July creeks,
Alaslxa,zon the Upper Yukon. Tho
region examined comprises more than
thousand square miles, and the eX-
animation was made by l.. NJ. Prin-
die and j. B. Mertie, jr. The town of
Eagle,@son the Yukon, thirty miles
above the eastern boundary of the
region, and Circle. on the Yukon,
thirty miles below its western bound
airy, are the nearest settlements. The
northern part of this region is readily
accessible from the Yukon, but in the
parts that are remote from the river
the means of communication are still
very primitive. Trails and winter
sled roads lead up most OF the prin-
cipal creeks.
Mining was probably done in tht
region as early as 1898, but the most
important developments have been
made during the last six or seven
years. The total gold production of
the region is less than $150,000, the
greater part of which has come from
Mineral Gulch. a tributary of Wood
chopper Creek, and from Fourth of
July Creek Last year about thirty
men We're engaged in placer mining
on the creeks in this region.
Auriferous grayels are distributed
over considerable area along Wood
chopper Creek, but no rich or extern
sive deposits have been found. The
relative accessibility of the placers
to the Yukon is favorable to cheap |
mining, but only small amount of |
water is available for sluicing. With !
one exception all the operations have
been of a primitive type. d steam
shovel on Fourth of July Creek and |
a few steam hoists being the only |
employed.

Says Drummer
Has to Spend at
Least SIS aDay
Firms That Allow Less Than
That for Expenses in Latin
America Get Poor Returns,
Asserts Consul.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Consul
Isaac \. Manning, writing from Bar
ranquilia, Colombia, says: 1.-THE sub
ject of the proper allowance to a
commercial traveller representing a
foreign house through South and Cen
trail America has been presented at
various times. and was raised FREE
quently in the Pan-American con-
ference in Washington two years ago.
ut has for many years been the
custom Of manufacturers and export
ers to send out low-salaried men,
whom they expect to travel cheaply,
and the result is usually unsatisfac-
tory business.
'One of the best-known travellers
in the South American field gave me
the details OF his expense account for
September, October and November,
1912, and this is representative Of a
fair average in these cases. This
traveller has had broad experience, is
not extravagant, and does not spend
money that he does not think neces-
sary for the proper representation of
his people.
He left New York September II,
1912, going to Ecuador; returned to
Panama and Costa Rica, thence to
Cartagena and Barranquilla, Colom-
bia, and thence to Bogota. Colombia.
His expenses were as follows: Sep
TENDER IL to October II, $3.50; October
IL to November II, S493; November II
to December II, $3.50.
HE says that the cost of travel
ing and the cost of living are both
increasing steadily every year. This
is partly due to the improvement in
steamship service and to the better
hotel accommodations than foremrly
In Latin-American countries. 1t
seems that the commercial house
sending a traveller into these terri
tories should not expect him to get
through on less than $15 per day.
1.-THE travelling man mentioned car
ried no samples, and the expenses
given were those which would have
to be met by any traveller making
use of first-class accommodations,
which as a rule are none too good.
"a traveller carrying samples would
have to add charges for excess bag
gage and for the transfer and han
ding of his baggage. If the country
is such that it becomes necessary to
make use of saddle and pack animals,
he would be sure to meet with ad-
ditional expenses"

long as you can earn plenty of money
and never spend any.
Two can live as cheaply as one if
they live with her folks and don't

They say it costs twice as much
to live nowadays as it did forty
years ago. Well, by gravy, it is worth
about five times as much.

GENERAL FOlLS SURGEON
AND SAVES BOTH LEGS

ka pass and was carried, unconscious,
to field hospital. He came to him.
self Just as the doctors were about
TO amputate both legs.
Dragomiroff said he would rather
take his chance of dying, but they
persisted. Then he drew a revolver
and swore he would blow out the
brains of the first man who tried TO
use a knife on him. He recovered
after a few weeks illness, and the
only permanent ill-effect was a slight
limp. Needless to say, he afterward
regarded the army surgeon as one
of the soldiers worst foes.-E1x-

Finally he and Joan are married
md the rest of the book is devoted
to the awakening of the heart and
spirit Of joan. She had found her
niche. She was comfortable and
cared for and content, and the bril-
liant qualities inherent in her char
acter spring forth and bloom under
propitlous surroundings. Those who
have ever been under the spell of a
malign atmosphere, the blight OF
poverty or mental repression of any
kind will appreciate Joan's regener-
alton. But a physicians love ana
the restless desire for motherhood
Danish her equanimity and expose
the sterility Of her paradise. In one
remarkable part OF the book she sug-
gests TO Judge Randall that she nave
tle fruition of her wish by bearing
a child to the physician. the pater-
nifty Of this offspring TO be admitted
by Judge Randall. This proposition
suggests no iInmodesty or immortality,
but the ardent desire of a passionate
woman. The awakened maternal IN
stinct is portrayed with a real touch
Of power and expressed with the IN
nocence of a ''Mignon."
This leads to the climax of the
story. The dawning love of Judge
Randall for the woman who was ms
wife in name only burns now IN IN
tensity Of passion, and he wins the
love of Joan in return. His unfor-

OF woMEN's DESIRES.


uTHE PARASITE" is a book
written by a woman who
speaks to the hearts OF
women through her own, of one who
writes understandingly' of their de-
sires, their passions and their intel
ligence. In regard to the last quail
Z fication, it has long been admitted
that they are the superiors of their
brothers. That they are the stronger in
the accomplishment of their own de-
sires is not so generally admitted.
But this book shows that where their
hearts are really enlisted in their
cause they are more passionately de-
termined than men, that they are
holder in their plan of conquest, and
that they will sacrifice more to at
tain their desires than any but the
most desperate of male lovers. All
this was shown years ago by no less
woman than George Sand, but she
never would or could have overlaid
her work with the thin varnlsh of So
cialistic or radical ideas which are
the fashion of the day.
Helen Remensnyder Martin, the
author of 1.-THE Parasite has adopt
| ed three types Of woman, which she
| has had the art to make something
more than lay figures. The real her
| Dine of the book Joan Laird. has the
| misfortune to be poor and to have
| been taught by her mother that her
| one object in life should be to ac-
| complish for herself a rich marriage.
| She is well-connected and is passed
| on sufferance from one house to an
other. Among others she visits Mrs.
! Sallie McCord, Cousin" as she is
! called in the conveniently familiar
way of the South.
In Mrs. McCord's home she meets
Judge Randall, Mrs. McCord's
brother. He had been unfortunately
married and his wife had left him
because she believed him to have
been unfaithful to her in his rela-
tons with a nurse who attended him
| in a serious illness. With him Is his
little son, a remarkably precocious
and entertaining child. The boy
| loves Joan and she, lonely and half
despised, returns his affection. Her
devotion to the child is discovered by
the father and he offers to marry the
| girl to make her a stepmother to the
boy. The compact he suggests is that
this shall be the only relation to bind
| them. He had, indeed, nearly yield
ed to the temptation of a sensuous
! creature, catharine Tyson, proud,
beautiful Southern woman, but his
love for his son and the knowledge
that she would not serve in any
: such role as Joan saved him, He had
