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

An unusual advertisement appeared
in a Chicago paper recently, desiring
the services of five 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 it's 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.

The Beauty of Truth.

Only that which has character is
beautiful.
Character is the essential truth of
any natural object, whether ugly or
beautiful it is even what one might
call a double truth, for it is the inner
truth translated by the outer truth II
is the soul, the feelings, the idea, ex-
pressed by the features Of a face, by
the gestures, and actions of a human
being, by the tones of a sky, by the
line of a horizon.
Now, to the great artist, everything
in nature has character for the un.
swerving directions of his observation
searches out the hidden meaning OF
all things.
There is nothing ugly In art except
that which offers no outer or inner
truth.-Rodin.

Rubber in India.


In southern India a factory at 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 alb
solute cleanliness, says the Family
Herald. One of two methods of manu-
facture is generally adopted. If the
estate is young and only a 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 a certain quantity
of acetic acid added to it. This Is
the coagulating 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 amber
colored and transparent, and for this
reason are popular on the market,
for their purity and freedom from dirt
a be judged by holding them to the
light and looking through them.

Ing as to be noticed In a British CON
sular report, says the Nebraska State
Journal. Large quantities could be had
at about II cents a pound, and with
the colors produced cotton can be dyed
black, indigo, dark gray, gray or
khaki. In dyeing silk and pongees,
only black can be used, the chief value
of the extract being as a material add

CONGRESS- AND


A certain worthy Congressman ha:
risen to remark that he would like tC
see every newspaper man placed or
the firing line. The point is vel
taken. However, it should be remem-
bered that the average successful
newspaper man has passed the fight
ing age, and that if he presented him
self before a recruiting officer he
would be refused admittance to the
service after a cursory and contemptu-
Gus "once over" just as any of our
Congressman would be.
But, at that, it is a safe wager that
there is a greater proportion Of news
paper men and their sons in the army
and already on the firing line than
there are Congressman and the latters'
son 1t is another safe wager that
all over this broad land the newspaper
man is contributing a greater percent
age of his meager salary (which is
earned) to assist in the prosecution Of
the war than is the Congressman Of
his comparatively big salary (Which
is not earned). A third safe bet is
that the newspaper man is doing more
to conserve the food supply than is
the Congressman, and that he is deny
ing himself more of the pleasures of
life.
Some of u Congressman have a
peculiar faculty OF getting off on the
wrong foot. They should remember
that the right to criticise is n of
the inalienable prerogatives of the
American citizen and that the editor
of even a country paper is privileged
to exercise that right to the limit of
his ability. And he is not much of a
newspaper man who fails to do so.
The press has exposed woeful short
comings and criminal incompetence,
both within Congress and without,
and that at no very distant date in
the past. Criticism is necessary, and
constructive criticism is the only GER
tain method of securing quick action
in the rectifying Of mistakes.
Such remarks as that credited to
the Congressman in question merely
serve to show where the newspaper
man has scored a bullseye.-LSalt
