PRISCILLA.
The charming demure name of
Priscilla, signifies ancient, denota-
ton to which it has every right, since
it comes from the very old Latin
The Prisci, according to Niebuhr, were
the original Latin tribe whose name
acquired its sense of age from their
antiquity.
The most distinguished Prisci of
history was Marcus Porcius Prisons
Cato and number of the Prisci are
to be found among the early Roman
martyrs.
Whether Priscilla was the name
given to the daughters Of this family
Or not is a matter of conjecture. The
first Priscilla of whom We have record
was a fellow-worker of St. Paul. In
her honor this feminine form gained
great prevalence in England, especial
ly among the Puritans.

through the charming romance OF
Priscilla and John Alden and Captain

both made the study of the statisticans, and the
attempt was made to arrive at an average that
would serve as definite ruling
France, during the war, went into the same
matter and decided that the fixing of such stand
ards was unsatisfactory. Some women, it was
proved, were unable to do any lifting or pulling
with safety, others could do far more than was
prescribed by law. Lifting, pushing and pulling
were all considered.
Take, for instance, the twenty-five pounds
which is the limit Of weight that may be lifted
by the woman worker in store rooms, according
to Article 6, Section &c. of the New York state
labor law. The worker finds it one thing, how
ever, if this weight is shifted from one bench or
table to another, or lifted to the height of her
waist and quite another if it has to be lifted to,
say, on level with her head or carried more than
a certain number of yards. Medical authorities
assert that of all the war work in which women
replaced men, their employment in baggage
rooms, entailing the constant pushing and pulling
of baggage and lifting of heavy suitcases, some
times to heights above their heads, proved most
injurious. In limiting the weight to be lifted by
women in industry, the state of New York is in
the lead.

work very hard. I was but one boy In

minister whose pay was made largely
in potatoes, butter and eggs, and hay
for the pony" Such pay would have
made him wealthy now-but not then! !
I used to get very discouraged. !

! But l used to want people to say In
spring things to me and to encourage
me. Very few did. And so / deter
mined to be a success sometime-at
something. And I made up my mind
that when did, would try to say to
folks like me the things that wanted
folks to say to me then.
That's how I happened to get to
writing these little Talks several years
ago
and I have kept them up, writing
them in my office, in my library. on
trains, in hotels, out in the woods
and everywhere. And it is because

one you sent to me, that I keep writ
