of you without yom* Hoilaenf. What these peoplte eau and will do for

No force outside of yourself is strong enough to make a man of you.
But inside lies tho power that can move mountiahs, dig canals.

pick chickens bV Vacuum.
Can chickens Be picked by the
vacuum fcleaner process? If so, there
will be A great saving Of labor. A
New Jersey man who raises broilers
for the market bad his attention called
to the subject when bis wife bought a
vacuum cleaner for use around the
house. When the Idea occurred to
him that the vacuum cleaner might
be utilized .to t»lck fgathera, be ^et the
machine at work at full speed, and
rubbed the nozzle over a broiler. Even
the pin feathers were removed and no
singeing was needed, says the Milwau-
kee . Evening Wisconsin. Then he
thought he would save the feather*,
and In place of the bag ti> receive the
dust he tied pillow casings to the re-
ceiving eqd of the tube- This , plan
worked well, too, and he can p|pk bis
broilers ,and make leather pilloWs at
the same time. If bis .plan lowers the
price of broilers the chicken man will
receive the thanks of a grateful pub-
lic. There is only one chance for crltt-
plsm of the summary process bore de-
scribed, and that Is that It pucka
feathers Into pillow-cases without
cleaning thenp. which of course will
not do. But the picking plan Is great.
If vacuum cleaners can be made to
pluck fowls they will relieve farmers’
wives of drudgery which has dons
much to put gray Into their lives, and
will mark a new era In the triumph of
machinery over hand labor.

The latest ir.no ration projected by
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent
of scIiooIb of Chicago, Is tho Introduc-
tion of instruction In "flipping,” which
Is another nanio for the art and mys-
tery of descending aCathless l'rtom mov.
Ing vehicles. The iden Is that every-
body who Mas acquired skill In this
direction—irrespective of seX—will
know too much to Jump off a street
car heading In any other direction

Of course, beforo the generation that
has been taught "flipping” supplants
that which Is now In control, a great
many accidents may occur to reckless
patrons. In the meantime, however,
It Is Inexplicable that Intelligent wom-
en continue to alight from street cars
