HUMPBACKED MEN IN DEMAND
Afflictioh Proved Qualification Where
Strange and Successful Expert
ment Was Tried in Factory.

An unusual advertisement appeared
in u Chicago paper recently, desiring
the services of i've humpbacked men.
The explanation of this strange want
is even more interesting than the an
nouncement, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
1t seems that a large envelope fac
tory, unable to fill its orders, decided
to work nights as well as days. Long
experience had demonstrated that in
the use of certain machines women
were better operators than men by
reason of their hands being more deli
cate and nimble.
The owner does not believe in fac
tory work at night for women, and the
men proved clumsy and slow. 1t was
then he set about to seek men who
were well but physically incapable Of
heavy work. He decided that hump
backs had the necessary qualifications
of more agile and sensitive touch, and
an actual test proved such to be the
fact. Hence the advertisement.

Of nickel, copper and zinc in varying

Dust In the SWeener

"Only last week / found Mary's ear
ring here" said the experienced house
wife to younger woman as yet quite
inexperienced in housekeeping ways
who had wondered why the speaker
should look over the accumulated dust
that she had just shaken out of q
carpet sweeper; the Mary referred to
being the maid employed in this home.
MARY came to me-" the speaker con-
tinued, "and said she had lost one Of
her earrings and she had looked every
where for it, but just simply couldn't
find it; but | knew the likeliest place
to look for it, and there / did find 1t,
in the dust of the carpet sweeper,
where many a jewel has been found be-
fore this, and where, no doubt, many a
jewel has been lost. / always look
over the dust out of a carpet sweeper
before throwing it away" Upon hear
ing which the inexperienced young
woman registered mental resolve
that when she went to housekeeping
she would do the same.

In southern India factory ut which
high-grade rubber is made resembles a
dairy, the milklike appearance of the
latex adding to this illusion, as well
as the precautions taken to insure abb
solute cleanliness, says the Family
Herald. One of two methods of manu-
facture is generally adopted. If the
estate is young and only few trees
are being tapped the rubber is made
in the form of biscuits or sheets. The
latex is put into shallow, round dishes
or oblong pans and certain quantity
of acetic acid added to it. This Is
the coagulatlng agent most generally
used. After standing for some hours
the rubber is found floating ON the top
of the dish in a white, spougy clot.
This is removed and washed and rolled
by hand and through a mangle until
clean. The biscuits are placed on racks
in a warm room or an artificial dryer
and allowed to remain there until dry.
The finished biscuits are pale aRber-
colored and transparent, and for this
reason are popular on the market,
for their purity and freedom from dirt
can be judged by holding them to the
light and looking through them.

The monument to General Grant in
front of the capitol in Washington
was contracted for on August 10, 1903.
The contract provided that the work
should be completed in five years, but

the lions and lamps called for by the
design are in place and there remains
to complete the memorial only the

the figure of General Grant on horse
back on the central PEDESTAL, and af-

total cost authorized by congress for
the memorial is $4,000, exclusive Of
$4,000 which was appropriated for use
in procuring designs.

readers is merely another Of your
many lying assertions, Ell?

The following from Terrible Turk"
Theodore Roosevelt is typical Of his
patriotism: 1.-THE free nations stand
at bay in the cause that is ours no
less than theirs; and after over a
year of war the army we have sent
to their aid is smaller than that Of
poor, heroic, ruined, Belgium!" That
is an absolute false statement and
Roosevelt knows it, because when the
war began Belgium had an army OF
one hundred and fifty thousand ef-
fectives and she certainly has no such
a number now. And with such q
man who is so reckless with the truth
as an American patriot, as u Big
Biz press would have US believe, he
is, do you blame some Of the people
for kicking against such American
ism?
