The Herald, 1906-08-10, Page 6THE TRUNK NUISANCE. The Extra Work Unnecessarily Imposed on the "Baggage -Smasher," :he happiest, most contented Ameri- Can is he who in his journeying is free. from an encumbrance of trunks. One or two should be sufficitnt for the aver:te Calan or woman and of moderate stye. "('lie well-dressed, the refined ,the mod- est, do not require an outfitter's shop as se part of their daily wardrobe. 11 it fa a fluffy summer girl, whose nuest,+ll to, the seaside or mountain is not for health or enjoyment, but to pose as a milliner's model, or a newly rich matron whose mantua-maker has been given carte blanche. ,and who is aching to shine and outshine, that is another mat- ter, and the number of trunks is not per- mitted to interfere in her plans. The other side of this trunk nuisance is the amount of extra work which is unnecessarily imposed upon the vast army of men once known as "baggage- emashers," but now known as baggage men. During this season of the year this branch of the railroad business is eatly overworked, It is exacting, hurried and exasperating labor, and the only wonder is, considering the number of pieces handled during the season that snore are not lost or smashed than re- ports show. The baggage smasher of twenty years ago would stand little chow of retaining his place under the present system. The exercise of care and the necessity of reducing damage claims to the minimum has revolution - $zed, in great measure, baggage handling methods. Where trunks are ruined now $t is either because they were of Mary construction or partly damaged at the outstart.—Philadelphia Press. F CUT OF Are yoti list -1 less,'fagged' and without energy? Have you headache, back pans, or pains in the chest? Have you that " all -gone" feeling? if so, you need a stomach and liver stimulant, and the best is Bileans. Mrs. R Saville, of Oakwood, Ont., says:— "For "Summer fag," debility, indigestion and biliousness I tried many medicines, but I never met with anything to equal Bileans. They cured me."

Needlework's Wages, The a.pprelttice in dressmaking bas to week sits mewls for n.othlnr, or perhaps a mere pittanee as errand girl , Then she, starts on linings at $4 per week. Next, she does over -sewing and finishing at $6. Trimmers oil, skirts or waists receive $12 to $14'per week, and fitters. from $15 to $18. A. small esteblisl1ment is considered: better than s4 large one for learning, the trade, as more personal attention is givers apprentices and there is quicker advancement, Any woman who sews neatly by hand or does fine embroidery along popular lines can secure a position in a shop without difficulty, and the fall rush in dressmaking opens up Sept. 1. A girl with the shopping gift can usu- ally secure a position with a dressmaker as shopper. Her first duties consist of snatching thnes.•d, buttons, linings, etc., and later she is entrusted with trim- mings,laces, cc. She starts at $4 per week, spends most of her time in stores and usually ,beeemes a professional shop- ped - Operators in, snit and waist factories do piece -work principally, and as a rule make $12 per week. Finishers, who sew on .buttons, etc., receive no more than. $7 per week. In underwear factories, girls start the trade by running ribbon through bead- ing, ironing, running buttonhole ma- chines, and gradually learn to sew on in- sertion, tucking, cis.. They quickly work up to $6 per week, An expert in under- wear makes $12 or $14 per week.—Anna Stec e Richardson in Woman's Rollie Companion for August, Something About Valuable Stones.

Thomas Hardy's First Love, That Thomas hardy, although he aban- doned his profession of architect to be - mule a writer, has not forgotten his first love. is shown by an interesting paper reeentiy written by hien for the jl society f6r the Protection o,f Ancient Buildings. The subject was the restora- tion of churches; and the author, after speaking of the many open abuses in so- called "restoration," goes on to say that were he nnv practising as an architect • he would not undertake to restore an lold church under any circumstances. In such an edifice the human interest al- !ays ranks before the architectural in.- �rterest, and therein lies the whole diffi- • culty of restoration. The ideal method, be thinks, would be to enclose the ruined church in a crystal palace and to build a new one alongside—although it is scarce- ly necessary to say that he does not of- fer this as a practical ,experiment.

One of these coins sold the other day for $2,165. The last owner of this particular coin had paid only $6 for it. Not until about twenty years ago did it become known that the half eagles of 1522 coinage were scarce enough to he classed among coins that command fancy prices because of their rarity. There were 17,796 of them mint- ed, but at the present time only three of them are known to exist.

Toronto Urging a New Secession. (Texas Medical Journal.) In Texas the negro is not elgiible un- der our bylaws either to state or county medical societies and can never be af- filiated with the medical profession of Texas. The southern people—the medical men of the south—cheerfully accord to him all that is coming to hint .We grant him all • civil, political and religious rights, but the line is drawn—and will never relax—at social and scientific af- filiation with him. The time has come for the southern states to secede from the American Medical association and establish a southern medical confeder- acy. Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, eta. Glass to Keep Out Heat. An Austrian inventor, Richard Szig- inondy, is reported to have 'made as new kind of window glass whose chief .pecul- iarity is that it prevents the passage of nine -tenths of the heat of the sun's rays. It is well known that ordinary win- dow glass allows nearly all of the heat derived from the sun to pass through, + but, on the other hand, intercepts all , heat coming from non -luminous sources, such as a stove or the heated ground. This is the reason why heat accumulates under the glass roof of a hothouse. If covered with Saigmondy's glass a hothouse would, it is claimed, become a cold house, ,since the heat could not get into it.
