Delay Cartridges.

A safety feature for those engaged
in blasting Is the use of what is called
delay" cartridges, which enable a
blaster to count all the holes in a
round and make sure that all have
gone on. In the first hole an ordi-
nary blasting cap Is put. The second
hole is fred by delay blasting cap.
the third hole by second delay blast
ing cap. the fourth hole by third de.
lay blasting cap, and SO on. All the
caps are on the same circuit. and all
are ignited by one operation of the
blasting machine. The delay caps fire
the charges in order. and with SUM-
cient interval between explosions to
permit of counting the shots. so that
the men doing the blasting can tell
absolutely that every charge has gone
off before they return to the cut.

GERMANS DRINKING TEA.

director of the National w. c. T. U.
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific exposi-

interest in the literature exhibit. He
said that with 46 other engineers he
visited Germany two years ago. While
there the group investigated eight
manufacturing plants and they found
the men taking pint bottle of weak
tea with their one o'clock lunch in
stead of using beer with z or 3 per
cent alcohol as formerly. The tea ia
prepared in the building and sent up
in bottles at about one-half the cost
of beer. Since substituting tea for
beer the efficiency of the workmen has
increased from Is to 20 per cent.

ALCOHOL AND ATHLETICS.

NGSOFTOG F>tN1 - wv
Prof Irving Fisher of Yale univer-
sity has issued a pamphlet in which
ne gives the result of his investiga-
tIons of the liquor problem. Concern
ing alcohol and athletics he says:
In studying the conditions of health
and efficiency during the last ten
years, the conditions which enable an
athlete, for instance, to be at his best.
/ have had occasion to examine the
conflicting popular ideas concerning
alcohol. began the study quite will
ing to be convinced that alcoholic bev.
erages have some virtue. But have
ended in the conviction that they have
none, and ! have found that this con-
clusion is almost universally reached
by those who have examined the facts.
These facts demonstrate that a man
who takes alcohol, in even a moderate
degree, is harming himself physically,
mentally, morally and economically.
THAT alcohol increases fatigue is
now commonly recognized by athletes.
Alcohol gives no increase of muscular
power. 1t is not what we can prop
erly call stimulant, but depressant.
1t is apparently a stimulant, because
it puts TO sleep the nerves that indi-
cate fatigue, so that the person thinks
himself relieved of fatigue. What 1t
does is to make one unconscious OF
his fatigue. Various kinds OF tests
and exercises have proved that alco-
hol is a decided hindrancc to muscu
lar or athletic power"

sELF-LovINe YOUNG WOMAN

This is my ladys praise:
God after many days
Wrought her, in unknown ways.
In sunset lands.
This is my lady's birth,
God gave her might and mirth.
And laid the whole sweet earth
Between her hands.
You can go to no place, you may
feel certain, where you are not likely to
meet the self-loving young woman.
Very often she is young and bright
in appearance, while she stands the
best chance of attracting class of
young men, who are under the spell
of her sprightly charms The first of
her importance which appeals to the
onlookers is her genteel walk, and
perfect carriage. Any of the opposite
sex could be certain by the light, float
ing way she enters room that they
were face to face with an intensely
active, lofty, high-strung young
woman.
Her temperament is in her step, 1t
is plain to be seen. as she does not
walk as though she were dragging her
footsteps over the floor. Careless
walkers seldom impress the observer
sufficiently to take second look at
them. That is the reason why wom-
ans walk counts for great deal.
Next she has lots of energy and not
much of fuss and feathers. She is
that she viii carry conversation to
the best advantage to herself. Often
she is witty, In exchanging opinions
and giving some pleasing anecdote
she dearly loves, she frequently ap-
pears to carry the day, unless her OPP
ponent sits back and gives her the
palm.
She takes pains to wear little
smile that it may be recognized that
she is good tempered. She can read
lily see a joke a long ways off; does
not bore her companion by foolishly
simpering her ideas of tale told and
making him uncomfortable by the
words. did you ever hear such ridic-
ulousness!" Her laugh is contagious,
having ring of merriment In it that
strikes ones fancy
The self-loving woman is somewhat
artistic, and understands what is re-
quired of her to keep up her dainty
| charms in the eyes of ardent suitors.
| Usually she does not lack attention
and is always ''in the picture" to bor-
row a studio expression. She Is nat
| ural, yet maintains ceaseless love
| for herself from the tip of her toe to
| the CLEAN of her well-kept hair.
She makes no pretentions of having
had her share of young men fall in
love with her. She leaves that part
for them to see, and be Judge of. She
simply takes pride in the value that
she is just what she appears to be;
one who carries her head high, looks
pleasant always, possesses an individ-
uality OF her own. observes what is
| going on, and is not averse to being
4 observed, but not ogled at.
This kind of young women are most
I always worthy of the good results they
Machieve. The right sort of selfesteem.
IF not carried too far, is better than
!, the lack of 1t, and the loss of the
4 want of 1t. 1t is less dull and tiresome
with self-loving women about The
young men who pay court to such a
one are not disappointed Some one
of them is apt to write to friends:

Insurance people have come to the
definite conclusion that booze and in.
surance mix about as well as oil and
water" remarked Edward A. Woods,
president of the National Life Under
writer's association. "In other words"
said Mr.. Woods, "a drinking man is a
mighty poor risk. Cold figures have
proved to us positively that the drink
ing man-even the moderate drinker-
has less than half as much chance to
live out the life of his policy as the
teetotaler. The mortality of the
teetotalers between the ages of thir-
ty-five and fifty years, when men are
OF the most use to society, is only Sc
per cent of the average mortality.
Not even the war has been the sub
