A Book a Day
Here's Book on Whaling Era
 in Old Nantucket
by BRUCE CATION

To read Through the Hawse- Hole," by Florence Bennett Ander-
 son, is to pay q visit to the Nan tucket of a century and more ago. the Nantucket which had ships in
 every sea and which supplied half the world with oil for it's lamps
 and ta1low for its candles. The book is the biography of
 Captain Seth Pinkham, born on
 the island just after the Revolu- tionary war; and in telling the
 story of Captain Pinkham, master
 of whaling ships, 1t contrives also to tell the story of Nantucket it. self. \
 It makes a good story, full of
 charm and the interest that a.
 taches to long-vanished times and
 customs. It is leisurely, packed with details that bring the old era to life: 1t is. in fact more his- tory than biography.
 E Captain, Pinkhard himself was. in many ways, an ordinary mortal for his time and place. He went up-reached the quarter deck through the hawse- -hole,' ,'t in the old dsexprassion- made numbers of 5voyagesas captain became wealthy suffered reverses in the panic of '37t and recouped his fortunes by Ia final voyage on which he died
 of a fever in a South American
 port. 4~S.a
 :. But his biography explains Nan tucket in splendid fashion. How the people lived, what the great whaling industry was like, what sort-of place Nantucket was in the
 days of, it's greatness-there are
 the things the book gives you, and it presents them in 8 very excellent
 manner.
 The book is published by Mc- Milan and sells for $3.

Jobs For Schoolgirls

Thousands of girls are coming out of the high schools looking for summer jobs. Who of them stand the best chance? The head of big school employment bureau gives an illuminating answer. It is not necessar- lily the brightest. girl in the class. she says who can get job now. It is not the girl with the Latin, Greek and mathematics at her tongues end and finger tips. It is the girl who knows how to cook a good meal and iron shirt without wrinkle. The most promising field is domestic work.
 The girl who has been accustomed to taking charge of the household one day in the week and giving her mother rest. she is the girl that can be placed immediately for the summer There are not enough of her to supply the demand. Which is curious fact, when you consider that here is something any girl can learn right in her own home, without it costing her cent.

The State of Connecticut must be re- sponsible for its paupers is the gst of report just submitted to State Agent Ray mond F. Gates by Attorney General Warren B. Burrows. The appropriation made by the Legislature in o3l for this purpose has been exhausted SO heavy have been the demands of the towns for support of their dependents. As result State Agent Gates decided to ascertain whether or not the state would be held responsible for those citizens who have no recourse but to look to the civil authorities for their support
 The attorney general finds that our statutes are quite specific on this subject The town in which the pauper resides is to provide the necessary relief and to be reimbursed by the state. So it looks as if the state might have to divert funds for this purpose or postpone its payment of bills presented by towns and municipalities until 1893 when the Legislature can appropriate the neees- sary money. As Attorney General Bur rows says. The care of psupers is gov- ernmental duty duly recognized since the establishment of our state government and cannot be denied because of failure to ap- proprate for such purpose or through fail- ure to appropriate sufficient funds to &C., eomplish the object of the statute. q.

City Chances

A good many thousands of unemployed workmen in the United States and Canada have gone back to farms in the last year or two. But not all of them. Farmers look ing for helpers are in many instances look ing in vain. Around Woodstock. Ontario, farmers have been offering wages of $l5 per month and all found without any takers In most cases the jobless men say they do not want to take job for two or three months which would deprive them of a chance at better city jobs with better salar- ies later. But one farmer offered his $l5 a month and found with guarantee of a years work to four men in succession and was turned down by all four.
 Fifteen dollars a month does not look like much to man who has been getting $50 week or thereabouts. But the all found clause makes great difference. No payment to make for board lodging light, heat water. carfare, and so on raise the fifteen month to quite respectble consld- eration. The chief reason, probably. IS re- membered hard work on the farm. Per- haps if the city man knew he would have no other recourse for the next 10 months. 1t might make difference. But he knows nothing about the nearfuture. nor can any body tell him. In word chaoteally re- volving around him. he prefers to sit tight and take his city chances.

Eyes And Eclipses

After every eclipse the oculists have a long list of serious cases of injured eyesight. Sometimes the sight can be restored to nor nal after few months. Sometimes there '. is permanent injury The Harvard Col lege Observatory and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear infirmary have joined in giving out warnings to all those who view the coming eclipse.
 Without protection do. not look at the bright disk of the sun, even when 1t has been partially covered by the moon.
 Protect both eyes. If you look with one eye only, at least cover the other eye with the hand. not merely by closing, the eyelid.
 Look through piece of smoked glass or a piece of blaekened photo film. You can make good smoked glass by holding piece of window glass in the yellow part of candle flame, moving it about so that a uniform black coting of soot is deposited. Hold the smoky side away from your nose and face.
 When Baileys beads appear on the edge of the moon, due to the last edge of the sun shining through valleys of the moon, totahty begins and during totality you need no pro- lection. When they appear the second time, use protection. said the scientists. The eclipse will be total only through a stretch of New England and Canada, but 1t will be partial over a much larger part of the country, and there the warnings apply with special force, because the protection of the smoked glass will be needed all the time.

 A study of seven plants showed that by making graduated deduc- tions of from to per cent on all employees about 10 per cent more workers could be taken on at from $780 to $1,O00 year.

 Chances for success of such a plan are seen in the fact that 1t takes nothing from the owner, leaving the costs of business the same, and that A. F. of l.. spokes- men lately, while demanding maintenance of living standards, have seemed to soft pedal their former insistence on six days pay for five days of work. -
 The department of labor. the civil service commission and the U. s. employees compensation commission recently went on a five-day week plan made possible by the new law which makes each federal employe take a. compul- sory payless furlough of "A days. Heads of those three agencies spread tn e time into AS half Saturdays so as to give their workers all Saturday, and Sunday off.
 This displeased most of the workers affected, as they pre- ferred to work Saturday morn- ings and save up their leaves. so they could take real vacations. Subsequent rulings of the comp troller general. have made 1t like. ly that the f1ve-day plan will have to be abandoned. st- sNfS
