Central Control for
An Factory Windows

Anyone who has got up in The mid
die of the night TO open and close
windows would balk on being required
to open a mile of windows; but If he
were night Waterman in a certain
Eastern factory, all he would have to
do would be to press a button. and cleo
trio motors would open or close ali
the windows without any further at
tention on his part.
This factory has a building four
stories high and more than 500 feet
long, equipped with steel sash win
dows which open at the top. and an
electric motor to turn the shafts upon
which the windows are swung. It is
so arranged that the windows on any
side of any floor can be opened by
separate controls, or the windows of
the entire factory can be simultane-
ously closed. This system permits
of very considerable saving of indi-
vidual labor and at the same time as
sures a maintenance of adequate ven
tilation and protection against the
weather.-American Mutual Magazine.

Dusa-DuDa Bullets in
War of Independence

A collector of bullets dating from
the period Of the Revolutionary war
and prepared for variety Of uses has
been recently added to the collections
Of the New York Historical society
One fact of historical interest es-
tablished by the finding of these relics
is the certain use of dum-dum bullets
by the soldiers of both armies, con-
trary tc the practice of war. ACCUSE
tions and determinations have been
common for a century and half, 1t
now appears that the soldiers of both
armies displayed considerable ingenu-
ity In preparing bullets in such man
ner as to inflict jagged wounds, some
times cutting them nearly in half and
either twisting or beating them out Of
shape.
Other bits of the lead designed for
deadly use were diverted to pursuits
far from the intention of their max
ers. Pounded square, with spots cut
In the sides, they were used for dice
through the long winters of inaction.
Hammered into strips long and mar
row or short and broad-they served
as lead pencils. Some of these were
punctured and worn on strip about
the neck, anticipating later styles.
Other bullets W., re cut in two and tied
together to serve as cuff links, occa-
sionally ornamented by laborious carv-
Ing.
Some of these bullets bear the
marks of human teeth and recall those
more inhuman days whom flogging was
a common punishment Victims were
tied to post or tree while the lash was
applied to their bare backs. They
were permitted at such times to hold
q bullet between their teeth as an aid
against crying out in weakness under
the ordeal

RnsInesa Manners.

Orison SWEET Marden, writing in
Success Magazine" asks and ans
wers two very pertinent questions:
Why is it that many of the cashiers,
bookkeepers, bank tellers, corpora
ton clerks, and people who serve the
public through glass windows or
across counters, are so pert and un-
obliging? Why is it necessary to make
a customer feel that he is nuisance?
Public officials, clerks, and atten-
dants in our public buildings and mu-
nicipal Offices are proverbially, curt,
short and snappy Though you are
paying them through your taxes for
their services, they make you feel
that they are doing you great favor
by giving you what belongs to you
and by doing what you are paying
them for doing.
How quickly you notice the atmos-
phere of business house-a great
department store, for example. There
is as much difference between the
feeling you have in walking through
two great establishments as that you
experience In talking with the differ
ents heads of these houses. In one,
refinement, courteousness, considera-
ton for others, a feeling of good will,
permeates the very atmosphere. You
have a feeling that every employee in
the place would be glad to serve you
If he could, and is anxious to please
whether you buy or not. There is
evidence that the employer thinks
great deal of the character as well as
the ability of his clerks, and that
manners and department are never
left out of consideration in their Sc
lection. In another house, only few
blocks away, you are i'll at ease. Care
Iessness, Indifference, and chilliness
pervade the place. You do not feel
at home. There is lack of harmony,
q sense of antogonism in the atmos-
pierre The employees make you feel
that they are doing you favor in
letting you see the goods, or giving
you the opportunity to purchase them
with your money.
The man who thinks he is going to
make furtune with out considering
the man at the other end of the bar
gain IL very short-sighted. In the
long run the customers best good is
the sellers best good also; and, other
things equal, the man succeeds best
who satisfies his customers best and
whose customers not only come back,
but always bring others with them.

Maru England Rag Dolls

Old rag dolls were treasured heir
looms Of many New England Gg9Yes.
OF all sizes, and attired IN many e6rts
OF quaint costumes, they had some
points in common. Their faces were
invariably fiat, their hands were sti6
and rigid, their toes turned out IN
most alarming manner. Sometimes
they had black button eyes; frequent
ly their prim faces were painted with
beet and fruit juices; occasionally
eyes, nose and mouth were embroid-
cred. For hair they wore tcupees Of
yarn or hemp or wisps Of real hair.
Their garments were full-skirted
gowns Of sprigged muains or prints
and they often wore sunbonnets Of the
same materials as their dresses. In
one New Hampshire family still lives
an old rag doll who for over so years
has pleased It's daughters. True, she
has become somewhat the worse for
wear, but her blemished features have
been renewed by the simple expedient
of recovering her face with a piece Of
fresh cloth.--Antiquarian Magazine.

Big Eagle Captured at sea.

The fishing schooner Kwasind,
which has arrived at Pensacola from
the fishing banks, brought In the
claws of an immense eagle which had
been caught while the vessel was
about 500 miles out at sea. The mas
ter reported that during storm about
ten days ago the eagle alighted on one
Of the spars, where it remained fol
about three hours. Darkness came
on, and then one of the crew climbed
aloft and threw line over the birds
neck.
The eagle was pulled from its perch
ana captured. The storm was raging
all this time. and 1t was necessary
to place the bird below to keep it
from being washed overheard. The
close confinement and the fact that
the eagle refused to eat resulted in
its death in three days.
The men saved the feet and wings
and brought them to port. This is
the only case known where an eagle
has ever been found so far at sea, and
II is the opinion that it was carried
out by storm, and. becoming tired.

> Two thousand years ago we are told
that house that is built upon rock
will outlast one that is built upon
sand, and the fact Is just as true to-
day as It was then. But, strange as it
may seem, one of the very things that
modern builders tell us to avoid in
selecting a site is rock. That is prin-
cipally because of the great cost of
excavating a cellar in rocky soil.
Another objection to rocky soil is that
water will not soak through rock, and
so runs down it. Some of this water
would be almost certain to seep
through the cellar walls, thus making
the cellar damp, or it might under
mine the foundations. Again rock
often contains springs. If a spring
were opened during blasting it would
mean either that the water would
have to flow through the cellar or be
defected--a costly operation. A house
built upon a rock also vibrates during
thunder storms.
Clay is perhaps more to be avoided
than rock. Clay collects water and
spreads under pressure. 1t expands
in wet or frosty weather and contracts
in summer Frozen clay clings to
brick or stone and often causes dislo-
cation of cellar walls and piers. Also
It is impervious to water. Thus an
underground layer of clay will pre-
vent the proper drainage of rain wat
er and leave the soil foul and sodden.
Finally, 1t is extremely costly to ex-
cavate

also, are made land. sand, and silt,
Made land is not always safe.
Gravel is the ideal soil for building
purposes 1t is porous and drains per-
fectly. At the same time it is suf-
ficently stable to support foundations.
A gravelly elevation is the ideal build
ing site. Depressions or levels be-
tween rocks are likely to retain water,
even though the depression is slight
and the elevations distant. The ground
water thus retained stands at level.
Small gravelly elevations form is
lands, as It were. In a subterranean
lake, and upon them houses may be
built with perfect safety. The cellar
floor will be above the ground water
level and no rain water will drain into
the cellar.-The Circle.

Here Is Pointer for
Raising One-Man Dog

Here is a stunt you can try, but
be sure you want a one-man dog be-
fore you start
Take puppy and after he is four
months old do not let any one touch
him or feed him but the owner. sug-
gest, however, you let the rest Of the
family in on the deal.
At about ten to fourteen months
the puppy ought to show considerable
dislike to having anyone handle him
or to follow strangers.
Ny experience has been that 1t is
harder to do this with hunting dogs
than other breeds, due to their ten
dency to follow gun. However, re-
call two large fox hounds that
raised as one-man dogs that were
splendid examples of one-man loyalty.
One was broken for coon, and strange
lanterns, shooting or a bunch OF
mouthy trailers had no effect on him,
let alone mixing with strange people
Have tried the one-man stunt with
great Danes Airedales, Irish terriers
and fox~hounds, and believe 1t will
work with most breeds the majority OF
times tried.-Herb. r. Wunder, in Ad-
venture Magazine.

BE Lenient IN Judging

Of condemning. Many people never get

Thames Has Double Ebb

It is rare thing that an interest
ing happening entirely escapes the eye
Of the press, but recently such an
event was unrecorded. London river,
the river of the empire, enjoyed a
double ebb and flow of its tide and
no one said word about 1t. Such a
manifestation is certainly curious
one and not always explainable. But
before the Thames was embarked its
vagaries in the Seventeenth and Eight

Suggestion Greas Aid
in Prescribing Youth

MY. but Americans are young look

Law, an Australian, on her first visit
to San Francisco. There dent seem
to be any old ones. And such hand
some, well dressed and pleasant
folks"
We do look young and, in fact, are
looking younger every day. This Is
partly the applied science of the
pulchritude parlor, but in larger meas
ure it is due to mental attitude in
which native optimism is reinforced
by friendly suggestion.
We have not discovered the elixir
of life-that is, not the elixir put in
bottles but we have the secret OF
keeping young, and 1t is telling each
other that we look so.
Americans do know how to greet
one another, and though greetings
cannot make any difference to the cal
endar they may make world of diff
ference to ones appearance. Years
are cut off when we are told we are
looking well. and if we feel younger
we cannot help looking younger.
Statistically we know that modern
medical science has added at least
ten years to the average Americau
life, but the average man. and cef-
tainly the average woman looks ten
years younger than he aad she did

Famous Old English "Reau''

slowed upon Richard Nash, fashion
able parsonage of the Eighteenth CEN
fury. He was born In Wales In 1874,
and studied law, but later became a

greater liking and aptitude and from
which he derived an ample revenue.
In 1904 he transformed Bath from a
vulgar and neglected watering place
into gay and fashionable resort. The
city of Bath, in gratitude for his serv-

Trofh

Mans idea of pledging himself to
marriage, according to some sources,
comes down to us from the Roman
ages. "Treouth," which was what the
Romans called the pledging of oneself,
is still ours in the shape of the Eng
lish word "troth."
In the Roman era great ceremony
was attached to the act, but these
traditional rites have been simplifed
gradually until today about the only
thing remaining is the giving of the
ring, this having persisted through the
centuries AS originally practiced, the
ritual included troth rings for both
maid and man and this double ring
custom is still preserved by some Eu-
ropean peoples.
