DUTY.

recovery from sickness of Miss Bessie
M. Davis and Miss Olive j. Lischey,

post Of duty again. While substitute
teachers do their best and are ac-
ceptable in cases of emergency, they
cannot completely fill the places of
old, experienced teachers. A cordial
welcome greeted these teachers on
their return.

To Help Rapid Transit.

The blasting off of a 15-fOot layer
Of rock from the top of COenties reef
In East river, New York, just east of
the lower end of Manhattan, and, at
the same time, the boring of two tun-
nels under this reef, constitute q dual
engineering undertaking now in prog
ress that is calling for unusual precau-
tons and slSillful procedure, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. The tunnel
will serve as new rapid-transit link
between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The
cost Of cutting down the reef is being
borne by the federal government and
New York city. At mean low tide the
reef has been % feet below the sur
face, distance that Is not regarded
as safe for some heavily laden boats.
The new depth of, 40 feet will be more
sufficient, it is believed. The tunnel
ing, which could not well be delayed
until after the channel was deepened,
is progressing ahead Of and faster than
the river-bottom excavating, which Is
proceeding at right angles to the tun-
nelS.

Hone for Poor Writers.

Motion pictures are being employed
for the purpose of making a scientific
study Of the various movements in
writing with a view to ascertaining
how poor writer's can best be taught
to improve. Motion pictures have
been taken of children of two groups
Good writer's and poor writer's. These
pictures have been thrown on the
screen for the purpose of Analysing the
kinds of movements which character
lie good as distinguished from poor
writer's. The Investigators are not yet
ready to make final deductions as to
what the films reveal, but they are of
the opinion that differences In rhythm
Of action and in the coordination OF
certain strokes are among the char.
arcteristics which will form basis for
judging good and bad movements. The
advantage Of the films is that they
can be stopped at any point for de-
tailed examination and comparison,
of course, they can be repeated any
number Of times.

He Had Them.

There were three brothers at the
place where we spent our vacation this
year. They were playing with a stout
string one day, the two older boys
pulling against the youngest boy. They
were pulling around tree stump and
didn't see little Bill when he put the
string in his mouth and held 1t with
his teeth, and naturally but fatally
they kept on pulling. In moment
they heard a terrible yell, and ran
to find Bill with blood-stained hand
and mouth and the news they'd pulled
his teeth. out.
They all went solemnly to their
mother, who pulled little Bill into her
arms and wept over him. ooh, Bill,
you've lost your teeth and you'll have
to wait until you're man to have
Others"
"No, won't, mamma" Bill said, and
stopped crying long enough to unclasp
his little blood-spattered fist. III didn't
lose them. Here they are."-Chlcago

MAKING PROFIT WITH GEESE
Much Depends on Kind Of Fowls That
Are Raised-Plentiful Pasturage
Saves Feed Bills.

The profit made from geese depends
on the kind of fowl that is raised
Coslmon geese weigh ten to thirteen
pounds. The goslings weigh from eight
to ten pounds. The profit on one Of
these Is from sixty cents to a dollar.
Purebreds weigh from fifteen to twen-
ty pounds, and goslings from thirteen
to fifteen pounds apiece. 1t costs about
ten cents pound to raise them.
Raising goslings is also ideal for
farm women, as usually plenty of pas
ture Is available; and plentiful sup
ply Of pasture means small feed bills.
The less feed to buy the greater the
profit. The outlay need not DO large,
as@the breeders can be sheltered in a
cheap building. While 1t is cheaper

For instance, the wages which NOV

is something terrible. Five hundred a

"Well, why not?" Birsky retorted.

somewhere in the offings of the kitchen garden or in some disused pantry or hall in the kitchen section of the house. 10 the present time, when servants rooms are one cf the important considerations in the planning of the well equipped house. No doubt if servants were still content to be slowed away anywhere and if they could be induced to remain with us when we showed no considera ton for their housing. many of US would still neglect the question of servants quarters. But luckily for the servants they no longer have to put up with such injustice. Factory wages beckon them with tempting fingers and we have to provide them with sitting rooms, shower baths and pleasant porches in order to keep them at all.
 In country houses more and more there is tendency now to give the servants quarters in small cottage somewhere not far from the house. But a very diff ferent place this is from the outside quarters that used to be given servants generation ago. Such a cottage built for a household where it is the aim of the owner to have the work done always by a man and wife, contains two rooms "a bedroom and a cheerful living room and neat bathroom.

 Servants rooms at one time were al- most invariably placed in the top floor Of the house. Sometimes they were the only "finished' rooms in a huge attic, and not very well finished they were. Now it is oftener found more convenient to have the servants rooms placed inn- mediately above the kitchen of the house conveniently approached by back stair way.
 The careful housewife always furnishes her servants rooms with especial care. If there are several she takes pains 10 have them all furnished in about the same way, so as not to cause jealousy.
