EASY TO MASTER
UNDERSTANDING OF HOMELY "sOUARE" REALLY IS SIMPLE.
Most Useful Tool Requires Little Study Explanation of Its Value and Properties Makes the Prin-
 ciple Plain.

Perhaps there is no other tool among the many used by the mechanic so use ful as the steel square, or carpenters square. Although there are numDer of marks and figures on the steel square there is nothing complicated or that requires any knowledge above the ordinary to be able to use It ln many cases, and after few hours careful study every mark should De clearly understood.
 The long arm of the square is called the body and the short arm is called the tongue. The junction between the body and the tongue on the outside IS called the heel. The body of stand ard steel square is two inches wide and 24 inches long, the tongue is from 14 to IS inches long and one and one- half inches wide.
 In this article the face of the square will be that side toward the observer when the body of the square is held in the left hand and the tongue ln the right This is true except with the Nicholas square, which will be talk en up later. The most important marks on the steel square are its gradua- tions, which are divided into inches and fractions of an inch. It is just as necessary that the graduations be perfect as for the body to be at right angles with the tongue. The inch may be divided into eighths, siXteenths or tWelfths.
 The first scale we will try to de scribe will be the octagon scale. This scale is on the face of the tongue of the square and is shown by dots along the middle, the marks being numbered in tens, the first number being two inches from the heel. The octagon scale is used as follows: Let it be re- quired to make an octagonal or eight sided post from stick of timber 12 inches by P inches. First divide the end of the stick into four equal parts by lines parallel to the faces, now set off from each side of the center line on each face as many spaces from the octagon scale as the timber is inches square, in this case it would be F. These points represent the angles of the octagon.
 The brace scale, which is on the mid dle of the back of the tongue of the square, consists of two equal numbers placed one over the other which repre- sents the two legs of right angle tri- angle the number at the right repre- sents the hypOtenuse of this triangle. Some squares have the two legs un- equal but the scale is used the same way. The use will be seen from the following: Let it be required to put a brace between post and beam 39 inches on the post and 39 inches on the beam, by looking at the scale we find the brace must be cut 55.16 inches lz2iI 1----------.

So everybody works" said the spe- cial agent. Uncle Sam does not care if he lays good men off half the time, but the Continental people take care of the samplers
 Good is the reason why they should" said the consumptive Tobin. Don't we save them enough money in the way we take the samples?"
 How is that?" asked Gard.
 Look here, young fellow" said the gruff Hansen, ''it seems to me that you are good little asker of questions. Why are you so curious? Maybe you are secret service man, eh:"
 Sure" said Gard. T am Chief Wilkinson himself"
 Wilkinson, nothing,' said Hansen. His name is Wilkie"
 "Wilkie. your eye," argued the spe- cial agent. Don't you suppose I read detective stories? His name is Wilkin- son."
 But the sampler was sure of his facts and the apparent error of the other man disarmed him.
 Well" he said, "as you're so curi. ous and as have the tip that you are to be a sampler next season, I might as well put you wise. We are all taken care of by the refiners because we look after their interests on the dock"
 The big fellow looked carefully about but there was nobody near except the frowsy dramatist, who was ab sorbed in his manuscript. He threw off another big drink of whisky and with 1t all discretion.
 You see," he said, "a sampler or government wages would be in a pret | ty fix if he were let out after sever months and had to stand chance ot l loaf1ng for five. So the company passes the word that if the boys do the right thing they will be given work during :, the off season. I happen to know Got trell himself and he takes me aside That was eight years ago. 'Hansen,' he says to me- pass the tip to the boys to sample right he says, and there will be work for then | between seasons
 What do you mean, sample right says.

Women Doing Work of Men.

A short time ago farmers in the United Kingdom were declaring that women could not possibly take the place of men on the land. Women have been engaged ever since in prov ing that they could do so. The farmer has been constrained to admit, step by step, at first grudgingly, but later with generous appreciation, that there is nothing that q man can do on the land that a woman cannot do, not even blowing excepted. Now there comes word from France that the Agricultu- ral Society of the Hautes Apes has awarded a number of medals to wom- en who, in the absence of the men, have carried on the field work in those regions, for the most part unaided. A special medal was granted to one wom- an who did the entire sowing and reap- ing of her land single-handed

Professional Women in Russia.

From the middle of the last century the women of Russia have asserted their eagerness for professional train ing. Teaching, surgery, medicine, and government service have attracted the greatest number. When the medical schools were closed to them, they went to Switzerland and other foreign coun- tries. A Russian girl took doctors degree at Zurich in 1867. In the early seventies the admission of women to medical courses became a settled prac- tice in Russia. In 1876, woman sur geonS in numbers distinguished them- selves at the front iii the Serbian Turkish war; the same distinguished service has been given by them in the Russo-JapaneSe war and in the pres ent conflict. Today woman physicians are as prominent as men, and in some cities there are many more female than male dentists. More than 62 per cent of the teachers in the zemstyo schools are women, and the census of 1897 showed that there were four wom- en to every five men in the state and public services.-Richard Washburn Child in Century.

Mental State in Tuberculosis.

Doctor Ballet, an eminent French physician, describes peculiar mental state which he has found in the tuber. culous. It is compounded as rule of sadness, of looking on the dark side, and of profound egoism. This read. fly leads to mistrust and suspicion, which may be pronounced enough to constitute delusion of persecution, or state of melancholic depression. More rarely there is a state of ex- citement in this disease, explained in part by fever. In its slightest form, this excitement is characterized by a feeling of well-being, which even at the point of death may give a delusion of return of health. In cases of more pronounced excitement, the patient shows impulsive, irrational and alec. holtc tendencies.

down the dos under a pink parasol spring ruffles such as make a healthy, wholesome girl outrival in beauty the orchids of the most tropically luxuri- ant jungle.
 The special agent had always liked corn-colored hair and freckles on the nose and worshiped at the shrine of the physically fit. Besides which this girl had enthusiasm and intelligence and inspiration. And it was spring and he was youngster shut off from his kind and lonesome. He had thought of her a lot of times since that day he had interested her by pretending to be something he was not Now he rather resented it that she should be there and he perspiring laborer, not daring to speak to her.
 And just at that time something very startling happened. The great crane of the ship drew another load of sugar from the hold and swung it majestically over the dock In doing so it described great sweep in reach ing the spot where it was to be de- posted. In the midst of this sweep single sack of sugar slipped from be- heath the ropes and came hurtling out and down as though it were pro- jectile from a sling.
 The pink parasol was standing un- consciously with it's back turned di- rectly in the course of the flying bag. The vision of spring beneath it was gazing away to where a sail was just taking the fresh breeze. Billy Gard and his truck were emerging from the shed for a new load of sugar. And here was a young man quick to act and with a training that enabled him to do so effectively.
 Three strides and leap into the air were all the time allowed. But this was enough to make it possible for him to tackle about the waist the catapulted sugar sack, much as he had often tackled the member of an opposing team who tried to go around his end in the old football days To be sure this end play was the fastest he had ever seen and resulted in a good~spill, but it was a success. The pink parasol was uninjured

existed on the sugar docks. But his case might still be strengthened, for he wanted the whole story from man who participated in the irregularities, and in such a way that it might be in- troduced into court as evidence. This was the last opportunity and the spe- cial agent hoped that the story might be told tonight when the samplers were reckless over their liquor. Jean Flavot brought whisky and beer when the big-fisted Hansen beat upon the table. Billy Gard stood upon his chair and drank to the time when they would all get together again un- der the cobwebs that decorated the ceiling of the little Frenchman. He led three lusty cheers for that time, for none was so abandoned on these occasions as the youngster who had saved the presidents daughter. And F'lavot and Billy interchanged wink, for they had a secret between them. Both knew that the beverage recklessness was nothing more than cold tea, and the little Frenchman de- lighted in seeing his favorite lead these American pigs, who knew no de- cency in drinking, on to complete in- ebriety.
 But Gard had a secret from even Flavot which had to do with grimy little man who sat at a nearby table and who had of late trequented the place-a seedy, long-haired, sallow man who worked always with pencil over the manuscript of play he was writing, AS a true genius he paid no attention to what went on around him, but always bored over his papers.
 But this same man in Washington was star stenographer at the depart ment of justice, a dapper, one-time court reporter, the man who had han dled the listening end of many dic- tagraph when the ways were being greased between men in high places and the penitentiary at Atlanta.
 And you samplers, Gard was saying, where can I meet you when another Saturday night comes?"
 Me at the Bayou Fouche mills," said Hansen.
 And the company sends me to Col brady for my lungs," said Tobin, the consumptive.
 And I keep time at the refinery" ventured Fat" Cunningham.

Chinese Women Students in Japan

Chinese girl students in Tokyo are no longer the curiosity that they were in former years, there being scarcely any girls school in the metropolis but has among it's students young ladies from China. Many of these girls are studying to become teachers, others are only anxious to acquire new knowl- edge and become worthy citizens of their country. There are 20 Chinese women, mostly married, studying at Mime. Yoshioka's Medical School for Women, Kawadacho, Ichigaya. These naturally wish to go into practice when they have completed their studies.- Herald of Asia.

 q do hope you are not hurt" she began. Tt was splendid-Oh! What? It is MT. Gard, isn't it? How in the world" she stopped in consternation.
 Billy Gard grinned foolishly.
 Don't give me away he pleaded with her. Tt is very great secret and it would all be spoiled if you did. A writing man must have color, must know life, you know. Please don't spoil my chance by telling a single soul about it"

 She placed her dainty glove ip his grimy workingman' hand for mo- ment and was gone.
 It was a wild Saturday night at Jean F1ayOtS The occasion of the cele- bration was the ending of the season on the sugar docks. For seven months in the year the Continental Refining company was busy with sugar that poured in upon it from Cuba and Por- to Rico and Santo Domingo and other lands to the south. Then there was a period of five months when there was no sugar from the outside and refiners turned their alter ton to the home grown crop.
 Those men who had worked togeth- CT in the comradery of the docks for seven months this season, and perhaps for many a year before, were tomor- row to be dispersed. They would be scattered about at many places and would play their part in the handling of the raw sugar that came from the CdiShOiuo OL Louloldiid ohl IliO Docl lands of Colorado and Michigan. Most probably they would meet again on these same docks five months later. But assuredly there was every reason why they should end the season in one mad carouse.
 Billy Gard was present. Through the weeks that had passed he had grad. ually frightened the net that revealed to the government the conditions that

 At first the advance was attributed to the demand for remittance in con. nection with interest falling due on Canadian bonds floated in New York 'ast year. Although this influence is still at work, in a measure, there are other reasons causing the present high -ate of New York exchange in Can ada
