eve day. Like so many or people
in t is crowded city. she lives in an
apartment house. She is on the fourth

with trunks and boxes of a score of
boarders. The attic has four roof win-

Weather.
One day. when they open and
the sunshine was pouring n. the we
man in question went upstairs to bur

lady; viho said that she might do at.

the boarders. ‘ ‘
So she moved all the trunks close to
the wall. leaving a long lane between
which extended the length of the gar-
ret. On the rafters at one end she ilk-
ed two small iron pulleys. purchased
for twenty-live cents apiece. and fitted
with ropes. tied to a lead weight. A
duplicate of these was fastened to a
side wall. Two ladlan clubs were add-
ed. and her gymnasium was complete

in the morning she was called ten
minutes earlier than usual. and. in
bath-roheiand slippers. mounted to her
gyrarasium. which was full of fresh air
fro the open windows. Two minutes
of steady pulling at each set of
weights. two minutes' practice with
lndlan clubs, and four minutes devoted
to walking up and down the space be-
tween the trunks with long. swinging
strides. taking dccp, regular breaths.
proves an excellent beginning to the
day's work.
At night. if there is time. there are
a few simple arm-and-ahoulder move-
ments to be gone through for neck and
throat development. Altogether not
more than fifteen minutes a day. are

THE MAKING OF PENS.
i
More Steel Used For Them Than iv‘or
Guns. Swords and Needles.
"Do you know ythlng about
pens?" asked a Nassitrcct staiioncr
the other morning. i thought you
didn't. Now. let me tell you some-
thing about tlic metallic pen that you
never dreamed of. it requires the
finest kind of steel to make a really
first class pen. 1 have been overhaul-
ing records and find that a greater
quantity of steel is used annually In
the penmaking business than in all
the gun. sword and nccdlc manufnc
torics of the world. The recent pop-
ularity of the typewriter has, of
course. diminished the use of pens,
lbut the output is enormous neverthe-
ass.
"in Birmingham. England. there are
a number of non maniifuctorics that
turn out a total of 150.000.000 pens ev-
ery working week. The majority of
the workers are women. and the wa-
ges. while low. help to make Birming-
ham a notable seat of industry. To
make 1.000.000 pens a full ton of steel
is required. There is really so much
work about the manufacture of a pen
that it is surprising that they sell as
cheap as they do. but. as l have said.
the production is so great that it is a
profitable business. l’cna have been
in use a whole century now. but forty
years ago, when they took the place
of- quills as the popular ink spreader.
it was one of the secrets of the agc
how that slit was made in the pen
Those employed in that particular
branch of the w wars. to
record an oath th they not
reveal the secret of that slit cutting
prm'ess.
"The secret became an open onc.
though. in the natural course of cv-
enta. and soon almost every interest-
ed person know that the slit was made
with a pair of scissors fixed in a press.
Men perform the initial work on a
pen. That is to say. they roll out the
steel to the proper thickness. The
women then take hold. cutting the
steel into strips as wide as two pens
are long. Presses do the cutting for
the women. The steel when it leaves
the presses is shaped like a pen. out
is flat. The forms made by these
presses are then put into a red hot
furnace. and when thoroughly heated
are-taken out and permitted to cool
slowly. This process makes them
soft. Then the women use fast pres—
ses that hammer the points as Well as
stamp the name of the manufacturer.
"This done. the pens are heated
again. and. while still but. are cast
into oil. They arc much harder. but
dirty and greasy when taken out. To
clean and whiten them they are boil-
ed in water to which soda has bcefi
added. The next step is to plan:
them in a cylinder which revolves
over gas jets. This turns them blue. A
number of other minor details. and the
pen is packed and ready for the mar-
ket. Whether it be the rich or the
man's pen. the mode of manu-
facture is allka.”—-New York Hail and
Express.

not very old when you think of other
things. a building contractor remark-
ed. breaking into a description of a
new building. “They were not in use
in land before the twelfth century-
ln ea‘r y times. you knew. people allow-
ed the smoke to escape through vesti-
roofa. just as indium: allow smoke to
escape through holes at the tops of
tents. According to the custom. then.
the burglars were placed in the center
of the hall so that the smoke and
fumes could rise. in some of the
chambers of castles that were built may
be seen fireplaces. but no chimneys.
The fireplaces have semi-circular backs
and'seml-circuiar arches over the op-
enings. Where they project a little
distance from the wall the dues roll up
the walls a few feet and then outward.
The outer openings are small oblong
holes. it must hava been a queer sight
to see smoke coming out of the side of
a castle all the tithe. How they man-
aged to create a. draft is more than 1
know. i wonder whether the dwellers
in flats would growl more if we made
fireplaces that way.
“The rooms must have been smoky.
because in the next century the people
tried to get rid of the smoke by extend-
walls.
chimneys were usually very short. Lat-
er they were clrculhr and of great
height. Perhaps when some of the
tops were blown off the people discov-
ered that the draft was sufficient with
them lower. in the courSe of time,
builders changed the“ forms of chim-
bays and gave them some ornaments.
tlon. The short chimneys were ter-
minated frequently by low pinnacles.
with outlets for the escape of smoke.
Tall chimneys were square.octagonal or
circular and were surmounted by cor-
niccs, forming capitals. the smoke is-
suing from the tops. Toward the close
of the ilflr't'ntli century clustered chim-
ney shafts appeared. it is said. Later
they were more common and were fro.-
qucntly ornamented.
"ily using terms coils in connection
with brick nowadays it is possible for
an architect to get rid of some of the
ugliness of a chimney and make. it a
part of tho ornamentation of a roof.
The time may conic when houses can
be lieutcd cheaply by the use of elec-
tricity. Then we can go back to the
old style of not having chimneys ex-
cept :it the stations where the current
may be generated. llut we will miss the
