GAINED FAME AS PUGILlST
John Brsushton, English Fighter, Only
Man Credited With Having Won
Two Priced Distinctions.

John Broughton, alone among Eng
lish professional pugilists, can claim
the double distinction Of an Abbey fu-
neral and having had dedicated to him
n poem by the poet laureate. 1t was
in 1744 that Paul Whitehead published
his "Gymnasia," or Boxing Match"
which he inscribed, "To the most puts
SAINT and invincible Mr.. John Brough-
ton" AS early as 1870 Broughton had
achieved athletic distinction as the
winner of Doggett's Coat and Badge.
! The science of boxing owes much to
Broughton. ale promulgated code
for the guidance of the combatants and
the satisfaction of the judges" writes
Mr. Guy Nickalls. "His new rules were
agreed upon by pugilists and approved
of by the gentlemen on August IS, 1743,
and lasted in perfect integrity until
1888, a period of nearly 100 years. He
introduced science and humanity into
what was up till then a barbarous
sport, by not only inventing defensive
guards, but also preventing n man
being hit when he was down. He also
introduced gloves or mufllers for con-
Quoting mock combats or sparring
matches" Broughton's patron was
the duke of Cumberland, who made him
u yeoman Of the guard.

MARRIAGE NOT THE WAY OUT
Working Girl May Find Her Lot
Harder Than Ever When She
Enters Wedlock.

One of the most serious obstacles
to womans advancement in Industrial
life Is the general feeling on the part
of the woman that it isn't going to be
necessary to work for any great
length of time, because the knight
will soon be coming along, when she
will have home of her own, declares
Detroit Journal.
"What's the use?" many woman
has said when it was suggested to her
that she give more thought to her
task. "The work is only temporary
so what is the use of bothering ones
brain with thinking out detailsT"
The exaggerated expectations of
girls as to the Improvement of their
lot when married in the matter OF
work Is something wonderful. Society
helps to accentuate this belief by
society frowning on woman workers
aud insisting that they go to house
keeping and get out Of the industrial
grind.
Now woman in "the lower walks
of life" as one puts it, which means
d woman who is one of a family with
an income less than will support all
the members on the wages of the
father, cannot escape work by getting
married.
With married life on small income
the necessity of work Is more pressing
than when single. For married life
presupposes more than one stomach to
be fed or one back to be clothed. In
due time, ordinarily, there will be
three, four or five mouths to be fed
and backs to be clothed. Work? Most
women know little about work until
they are married.
SO married life Is not an escape
from work The woman who does not
become "helpmeet," instead of being
simply help eat" has missed her
calling in getting married, just as she
missed her calling when employed in
store or factory or Office in not becom-
ing efficient.

Nina Sufltt sat in her bedroom and
cried over a letter.
1t was pine in the evening. On the
morrow she was to become the bride
of an English nobleman. Viscount
Addlslegh was a very estimable young
man, very shy, and obviously half in
love with her. But both had been
dragooned into the marriage.
The days had gone so fast since the
engagement that Nina had had little
time to regret. il was not until Jack
Tremonts letter came that the flood
tide Of memory came sweeping back
on her.
Five years ago they had been all
but engaged. He was a poor artist
then, and there had been terrific

her friendship for the young man, and

they had had such gay parties of

when she had not the strength to go
her own way.
She had not seen Jack since that
last parting, when she had promised
to write to him. And all that was
five years ago.
Her fathers death had followed.
Her stepmother, worldly woman,
only wanted to get the girl off her
hands. She had been touted shame
lessly IN the foreign markets-that
was the way with her set-and finally
the viscount, with an impoverished es-
tate, had bargained for her. At

All had been very decorous, and
well, Nina was to marry him on the
morrow.
She read her lovers letter again
through binding tears. 1t was only

FOR BAll-BEARING PARTS
Measuring Machine That Is Infinitely
More Sensitive Than HUI
man Being.

The average person has little con-
ception of the accuracy with which 1t
is necessary to work on some classes
of machinery. Ball-bearing parts, for
instance, are produced in large guam
titles, yet in some cases the limit or
error is placed at one-tenth of one
thousandth of an inch or about one
twentieth the thickness of a human
hair. The human sense of touch is
coarse in comparison.
A multiple Indicator described in
Popular Science is very satisfactory
device for measuring parts that must
be accurately gagged without loss of
time. The machine consists of sub
stantial base plate with an accurately
ground, hardened steel facing and an
integral standard carrying a measur-
ing appliance. The dial indicator
reads in thousandths of an inch, each
graduation representing one-thou-
sandth inch movement of the indicator
stem.
The work to be measured is placed
under the measuring point on the null
tiplying lever. AS this is very near
the fulcrum, relatively slight mo-
ton will be changed to one of ten
times that magnitude at the dial in
dicator. If the work is but one-thou-
| sandth inch larger or smaller than the
standard, the pointer of the indicator
will move over ten graduations on the
dial. An error Of one-tenth of thou
sandth will move the pointer one
| graduation.
