FATHER OF MODERN SPINNING
Invention Of Samuel crompton, Eng.
lishman, Of immense importance
to the Western World.
(To BE coNTINuED.)

At one time muslins were imported
from India for the reason that English
spinners were unable to produce yarn
fine enough for the manufacture Of
such delicate fabrics.
The invention Of Arkwright, by
which spinning with rollers was used,
and Hargreaves, with his spinning
jenny, led the way for Crompton to
combine both Of those inventions in
his mule, thereby enabling spinners
to draw out long threads in large
numbers to more tenuity than had
ever been done by the East Indians.
This invention enabled Lancashire
to assume the first place as Gotten
spinner to the world. Samuel Cromp.
ton was born December 3, 1853, at Fir.
wood. He came of the farming class
and had rather a good education. On
the death of his father his mother
carried on the farm and set Samuel
to spinning at home. Five years after
his majority he completed his mule,
"his mind during that time being In
continual endeavor to realize a more
perfect principle Of spinning"
This he did at the expense Of every
| shilling he had; and he gave his III
vention to the world, but in such q
way that he gained no credit. Years
afterward his statue was erected II

PRESENCE OF MIND.

When there occurs near at home something which might have brought serious results. such as cry of fire" in crowded theater, or the buck last evening in Walnut Hill park, all should be reminded of the necessity of oultivating presence of mind under all circumstances. The latter was an especially trif1ing matter.
 The experience of last night, it may safely be said. will not be respected. The very fact that there was trouble ith the tent pole will probably make those in charge all the more careful in the future; the program of the Chautauqua will go on in all it's at.
 trectiveness and hundreds will be glad that they attended.
 Such is generally the case with the | manager of theater who has gone l through a near-panic in his place. He becomes extremely careful that, ir the future. there will be less dange, l to those who attend performances tr his house. g But nevertheless all managers have not been through these experience: and it is wise for every person, while

performance the less because of pos s ble danger, nevertheless to bear in mind the thousands of lives presence of mind has saved.
 On entering a theater or other place where large crowd is in attendance. the first duty of every one should be to note the exits and remember where hey are to}be found. For the same reason a person seated in a boat Of sizeable dimensions should look to see where the life preservers are kept. that there may be no wild rush for them all over the boat. but that all may know where they are, and that all may procure them quickly as pos s'ble should occasion demand.
 The critical moment comes when the alarm becomes general. It is then that the persons with presence of mind come to the fore. It is them that they become leaders, and upon their shoul- They are the ones who keep free from fright those timid ones who may start a panic.
 In no phase of life is presence of mind anything but an asset. It should be cultivated even under the most or l djnary circumstances.

"WILFULIY."

Johnnie may kill Willie because Johnnie get suddenly very angry at Willie and grabs up a handy gun and shoots him. Yet Johnnie, if properly defended, will not be put to death. No. Johnnie will get off quite easily. His only punishment will be, probably. that his address will be changed, and he will pass the rest of his natural life behind iron bars, in prison.
 This, be it understood, is because he did not give the deed the ''premedita- tlon'' required by law to make him guilty of murder in the first degree.
 reconciliation" is great word.
 Absent minded people are stirred by the news that they may be arrested rot cross the street at the proper places and are reckless of their own safety and the safety of others.
 Let the absent minded, let the stranger to our city who perhaps will fail to notice some of the white lines painted on the pavement some time ago-let such persons be relieved.
 The new law says that a person shall be fined who "wilfully'' refuses or neglects to obey the signal of the traffic officer
 The attention is respectfully called to the size and general appearance of authority of the traffic officers of New Britain. Are there any who would wilfully" disregard the signals of any Of them? Are there any who would "wilfuHy" refuse to cross between the white lines when such lines are called | to their attention?
 l It is believed there are not.
 And are there any persons who recklessly disregard their. own safety or the safety of anyone else in cross ing the street? There may be few wto would ''recklessly" disregard the latter, but it is believed that merely crossing outside the white lines woult not constitute such disregard.
 The new law seems merely to put ir words the way sensible-and not too sensible at that-persons act daily with the ever-ready, ever-courteous aid of suggestions from our traffic Of fcers.
 Order, ease in traffic and genera safety are attained by crossing the streets at the places provided. Law or no law it is we'll to observe the well-laid plans.

MUSIC AND WORK.

When the clock drags slowly on and the work before one seems to re- main stationary no mater how rapidly one tries to dispose of it the strains of lively music come to the aid of the worker and actual, visible good is &C., complished.
 The postmaster of the Minneapolis postofice has made trial of this man. ner of spurring up his workers who are sometimes forced to remain at work until the early hours of the morning. He has found that more work has been done and that the long hours have had less bad effect upon the workers than when they had to work on in the silence of the night There is nothing strange or new about his discovery, but it's applica- tion is novel The results have been so good that he has reported them to Postmaster General Hays and has in terested him in the matter. It is au- thoritatively stated that jazz" music
 
 are too tired to wigg1e heir feet under the inspiration of the wierd jingle of sounds. The music first resorted to- while bright and inspiring, does not travel to the feet as does the jazz. It merely brings brightness into routine tasks. The jazz, if used at all. comes later.
 By some scientific analogy the per- sons who read the letters distributed to the accompaniment of music un- doubtedly enjoy them the more. But this phase of the mater might be the cause of dispute and should be left alone in the face of the proven good that music brings to the worker.
