In connection with what Is known
as the “Irish revival," an
work has been started by Irish ladies
In a village close by Dublin.
Three industries were selected,
namely, the printing of books, embroid

of tapestry and carpets; and some
exquisite work has been produced.
One of the leading ideas of the pro
moters has been to produce things
which will be recognized as Irish both
in style and design. In the carpets,
for example, all ordinary patterns are
discarded in favor of those recogniz

Many of the workers are Irish peas

Many ingenious Tools.
THE GRADY MONUMENT Af ATLANTA. GEORGIA.
The tools which are instrumental in
performing this ingenious sculpture
by machinery are what are known as
pneumatic tools, that is. they are op
erated by compressed air instead of
by steam or electricity. The type most
commonly used might be described as
a combination hammer and chisel, and
how much more speedily such can
work than could a workman with the
old-fashioned chisel and hammer may
be appreciated when It is stated that
by means of the compressed air the
hammer Is made to strike hundreds
of blows per minute.
In this mechanical chiseling the
pneumatic tool, which is a portable
piece of apparatus, Is held In the hand
of a workman and by him guided
lack and forth on the stone surface
wherever cutting Is to be done. The
compressed air is led to the tool
through a rubber hose, and the oper
ator can with the utmost ease and
at a moment’s notice regulate the
force of the hammer blows according
to the depth of the cutting required.
Moreover different styles of pneu
matic tools are provided for the va
rious classes of work to be performed
In producing a statue or other monu
ment. For instance, there Is one tool
for light carving, tracing and letter
ing on granite, and a different one for
heavy carving and large raised letters.
The tools require from five to seven
cubic feet of free air per minute to
operate them. In the battlefield memo-

family reading table during the winter evenings the
children and grown-ups can play with their wits
and see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest number of words
will each receive a little box containing a $10.00
gold piece.
10 persons will each win one box containing a
$5.00 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box containing $1.00
in paper money; and one person who makes the
highest number of words over all contestants will
receive a box containing $100.00 in gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit of fun to take
up the list evening after evening and see how many
words can be added.
A few rules are necessary for absolute fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster’s Dictionary
will be counted, but no name of person. Both the
singular and plural can be used, as for instance
“grape” and “grapes.”
The letters in “Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts” may be re
peated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by Webster will
be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical classes, all
those beginning with A together and those begin
ning with E to come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the words leave
wnie spaces, in the A, E, and other columns to
nil in later as new words come to you, for they
will spring into mind every evening.
. It is almost certain that some contestants will
tie with others. In such cases a prize idenfeal
in value and character with that offered in tha*
class shall be awarded to each. Each one will be
requested to send with the list of words a plainly
written letter describing the advantages of Grape-
Nuts, but the contestant is not required to purchase
a pkg. These letters are not to contain poetrv or
fancy flourishes, but simple, truthful statements of
facts. For illustration: A person may have experi
enced some incipient or chronic ails traceable to
unwise selection of food that failed to give the bodv
and brain the energy, health and power desir d

dear friend we will put dollars to your pennies that
the noon hour will find a man on our breakfast
huskier and with a stronger heart-beat and clearer
working brain than he ever had on the old diet.
Suppose, if you have never really made a move
for absolutely clean health that pushes you along
each day with a spring in your step and a reserve
vigor in muscle and brain that makes the doing of
things a pleasure, you join the army of “plain old
common sense” and start it now. Then after you
have been two or three weeks on the Grape-Nuts
training you write a statement of how you used to
be and how you are now. The simple facts will
interest others and surprise yourself. We never
publisn names except on permission, but often tell
the facts in the newspapers and when requested
give the names by private letter.
Tncre is plenty of time to get personal experi
ence v.-ith Grape-Nuts and write a sensible, truth
ful letter to be sent in with the list of words, as
the contest does not close until April 30th, 19°^
So start in as soon as you like to building words,
and start in using Grape-Nuts. Cut this statement
cut and keep the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts before
you and when you write your letter you will have
some reason to write on the subject “Why I Owe
Grape-Nuts.”
Remember 331 persons will win prizes, which
will be awarded in an exact and just manner as
soon as the list can be counted after April 30, 190A
Every contestant will be sent a printed list of names
and addresses of winners on application, in order
to have proof that the prizes are sent as agreed.
I he company is well known all over the world
for absolute fidelity to its agreements, and every
single one of the 331 winners may depend on re
ceiving the prize won.
Many persons might feel it useless to contest,
but when one remembers the great number of
prizes—(331)—the curiosity of seeing how many
words can really be made up evening after evening
and the good, natural fun and education in the
competition, it stems worth the trial; there is no
cost, nothing to lose and a fine opportunity to win
one of the many boxes of gold or greenbacks.
Ve ma^e the prediction that some who win a
prize of gold or greenbacks, will also win back
health and strength worth more to them than a
wagon full of money prizes.
I here are no preliminaries, cut out this statement
aivi go at it, and send in the list and letter before
April 30th, 1906, to Postifm Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle
