HELPED BY HUMIDITY. Many Materials and Produota Whioh Require Moiat Air. There are many materials, operations od products which require special atmospheric condition for advanta geous or profitable maintenance. Prin cipal among such operations Is the manufacture of textiles, perhaps the largest single Industry carried on in factories, la the favored climate of (be Lancashire district of England the natural climate affords working con ditions equaleS la America only on oc casional days In certain localities. Even la England, however, there are many days In wblcb the atmosphere Is too dry for the best work. Since textile fibers are Increased in strength and elasticity by btgb humid Ity and moderately hlgb temperature, breakages are lesa frequent under proper conditions, and the output Is In creased. But even before the fiber reaches tbe manufacturing plant at mospheric humidity plays an important part Cotton loses weight as It dries out, but, more than that, the fibers bristle and appear shorter aod of lower grade than when slightly moistened. Leather, feathers and many other por ous substances lose a considerable per centage of weight In drying out, so that the maintenance of average and uni form humidity in the storage rooms has a direct advantage to the owner In maintaining the value of bis goods as tbey He In tbe warehouse. Cigars and tobacco lose flavor in dry air and regain it to some extent, after loss, by storage lu proper humidified rooms. Wooden furniture and musical Instru ments are sometimes cracked or tbe finish Injured by tbe dry air of steam beated rooms. All these and other similar goods are advantageously worked or stored in rooms In wblcb tbe atmospheric humidity is artificially controlled and kept at tbe most desira ble point Engineering. A PIG'S SQUEAL It Played a Momentous Part In Ameri can History. Tbe war between this country and England In 1812 was caused by one vote, and, stranger still, tbe small mar gin came from a pig getting Its bead stack In a rail fence. It was a Rbode Island fence at that, but built much like a Virginia worm fence. Tbey were having an election of members of tbe legislature In Rbode Island. One Federalist put off going to tbe election and left himself Just time enough to get there before tbe polls closed. Just as be got on bis horse and started for town be beard a nig squeal. He looked around and saw that tbe pig bad its bead Jammed Into that old rail fence, and anybody who knows anything about bogs knows that tbe bogs would bare eaten tbat pig up If It hadn't been rescued. Tbe farmer stopped long enough to liberate tbe pig. and when be got to the polls they were closed. He was too late. Tbe result was tbat a Democratic member of tbe legislature was elected from tbat district by one vote, and be would not have been elected if tbat Federal had got there on time. In the legislature a Democratic United states senator was elected by one vote, and tbat Democratic legislator wbo bad been elected by one vote voted for blm. In tbe United States senate tbey voted for the war of 1812 by one vote. and tbat Rbode Island Democratic senator wbo had been elected because tbat pig was caught in tbe fence voted for tbe war of 1812. Popular Maga zine. Not Waxwork. The opening of the courts in an as size town in England is always a great day for the residents. Tbe procession to tbe church, where tbe Judge says bis prayers and listens to a homily, tbe march to tbe court, with the at tendant Javelin men and tbe braying of trumpets the men la wigs and gowns fill tbe rustic mind with the tense of awe and tbe majesty of Jus tice. It Is related In Mr. Thomas Ed ward Crispe's book, "Reminiscences of a K. C.," that a farmer once took bis son into tbe crown court. On tbe bench was tbe Baron Cleasby, gorgeous In scarlet and ermine, statu esque and motionless. Tbe yokel gazed with open moutb at tbe resplendent figure on the raised dais. Suddenly tbe baron moved bis hand from right to left and left to right. "Why, feyther," said the boy, "it's alolve!" A Friond In Naad. Algle I say. Fred, you're aw a fwlend of mine, aren't you? Fred-8ure. Algle Theu be a good fellow and aw help me out. I'd like to have that pwetty cousin of youabs learn all about my aw good points, doucber know. Fred I am helping you, old chap. I argued with her for two hours yester day trying to convince ber that you weren't as big a fool as you look. Chicago News. Laughtar.

Water VJorhs on the Farm Yet, that's just what we meaa real mxUrr worki; running water in the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry, the barn in fact, all over the place. And it's all done by that tank yon aee la tbe lower if il nana corner of this picture the leader ByMrra. It a TaMly ainrrent Irota the old-fashioned elevated tank which worked by (rarity. the Leader Water Supply System fa operated by tomfimsrd air reliable, aafa and cleanly. Your windmill pumpa ater into the tank (which ia already full of air). The air, being elastic, ia compressed Into upper part of the tank, and forcca the water out through the pipes. This givea you a pressure, ao that a powerful stream of water ia am tap at every faucet, no matter where it is located. And this meana av)j hut jirt-prottLtion, tor the preaaure ia olwaji mm and alwaya ready. Now, tbe old style gravity tanks were cither put ia the attic or ait sated on a high tower out of doora. Ia tbe former case, their weight when full, cracked the plastering; or tbey overflowed or leaked, flooding the rooms below. In the case of the outside tanks, the water often froze aolid ia winter, necessitating eapensive plumb ing bills; or it became but and atagnant during tbe summer aod unfit lor use. The Leader Water Supply System avoids all this, because the air-tight tank ia cither in the basement or buried under ground below the frost line.
