The published plans for the new tunnel down Broad- Way to the Battery promise precautions against the in- ferruption of street traffic and of business which will make interesting reading for the tradesmen along the Tine of the now almost completed subway. The work {s to be done almost entirely at night, and there {s to be little if any disturbance of the street sur- face. Instead of partly excavating the entire route at the start and leaving much of {t in that condition for months with only the addition of piles of structural steel and a litter of timber and tools to block the way still more, the digging is to be done expeditiously and with consideration for the public comfort. Must we look for the reasors prompting this con- sideration to the statement that “Mr. Belmont believes that if thie can be accomplished there will be no dim- eulty in getting the contract from the Rapld-Transit Commission for the tunnel from Union Square up Broad- way to Forty-second street?" Whatever the reasons the city will rejoice at the fact, though not without commiseration for those who bore the brunt of business loss on the main subway, This new tunnel’ is apparently to be built as the old should have been. It is not to be supposed that the improved methods are the result of lessons learned so late in the history of engineering aa the construction of the sub- way proper. A JEWEL OFA CLERK. Some years ago a wealthy Buffalo law firm took into its employ a young clerk whom they paid wages (can it be called a salary?) of $25 a month. Pleased with the energy and intelligence he displayed they soon raised his wages to $35 a month, and then, after a due and proper lapse of time, so that his head might not be turned, to $15 a week. During the period when they were paying him this Jatter amount they had reason to congratulate them- selves on the prize they had secured in their {ndustrious and competent employee. He had risen to be their man- aging clerk and their confidential man as well. They intrusted him with the care of Investments and in gen- eral with the transaction of all their financial business. He was cheap and he was good, as shown by his outside ventures, Had he not been able to realize handsome re- turns as the agent of capitalists in erecting costly residences, laying out boulevards and projecting parks? The firm's confidence in their employeo went hand in hand with their admiration for his talents. But one day the firm awoke to a realization of the fact that the clerk's expansive ventures had been made wt their expense. He had used their funds and he was an embezzler. They have fared better than other firms who have been the victims of overconfidence in dis- honest employees, because this clerk was successful in his speculations and is able to make restitution for perhaps the entire amount. .. Have they fared better than they deserved? That question may be left for debate. But there is no doubt of the application here of the old adage that it pays to give a good price for a good thing, especially a good salery for a capable employee. It is a theory Andrew Carnegie put into most successful practice in the bulld+ ing up of his vast stee) business, as he has publicly testi- fied. It is on this theory that Mr. Morgan pays his junior partners, so called, $300,000 a year. A WIDOWER'S MOURNING. It seems only yesterday and {t is actually less than a year since we were offering editorial consolation to Bub Fitzsimmons for the loss of a wife who had been in the best sense a helpmeet. Now he is married again. And on the same day with his marriage a popular writer, Miss Daskam, became the bride of a widower of eleven months’ standing. A year ago the public yas interested in the wedding of a distinguished and somewhat elderly bishop who had been bereaved but a year and a few months. There is, of course, no time-limit, except in the case of courts and kings, for the observance of ontward mourning. Society once prescribed rules and fixed periods for the wearing of black and a widow's transition from black and white to lavender was as mathematically determinable as a lunar eclipse or any event in the al- manac. But these old conventions are fast breaking down. There are religious cults which approve not of black as ‘a badge of woe, and there are widows who compromise on pure white as the garb of grief. Perhaps it ts in line with the theory that real mourning is in the heart, and not in a protracted and perfunctory exhibition of con- ventional sorrow, that society is abandoning the old P But does not a widow mourn longer than a widower, ; at least In the matter of prolonging the period of single- ; plessedness before engaging in a new + atrimontal part- at nership? WOMEN IN AUTHORSHIP. Of seven advertised special features in the August’ number of a magazine of high standing and large cir- culation five are by women. Four of six fiction articles in this magazine are by women, including the serial story. Women are admittedly the greatest devourers of fiction and they now form a magazine's largest fol- Jowing. Men may read the reviews, nit the most suc- Gessful Illustrated periodicals are for women. Are they to be by. women as well? Certainly woman's development as an author is pro- ceeding apace, Any school seems to fit her for a literary career, whether a recognized woman's college, & course $m newspaper work or an office desk. She blossoms out 4mto full-bloom authorship at a time of life when the Masculine writer is mastering the elements.

They lacked those great salient characteristiqg which must form the raison d'etre of any international idiom. These vain but well-meaning attempts have lost caste, but the central {dea, that Is, the necessity of a common, neutral language, still exists. We must first of all see what are or what should be the dominant chara teristics of a language which assumes the role of internationality.

Figure 2 of the diagram shows the proper way to braid a whip. To make the drawing simple, only four strands are used, but by exactly the same method any number of strands, from throe to Afty, may be braided, Tt will, howe be better to ex- periment with four strands until the principle of the work Is understood Take four strands of equal length and knot them together at one end, Sep- arate one of the strings from the rest. We will suppose that i corresponds to A in the diagram, Separate a second string from the rest and lay it across the string A. The second string will correspond to B. Lay a third string across the string B. The third string corresponds to C. Lay the fourth string across C, and then run & under the string A. The fourth string cor- rerponds to D. Pull all the strings ‘ught and repeat the process. It makes no difference how many strings thero are In the braid, Lay them in turn one across the other, and then tuck the last one under the first one. A little experimenting will enable Any one to understand how the braid- ing is done. ‘To make the lash gradual- ly diminish, begin with a large number of strands, and, as the whip lengthens, gradually cut them away until only. three are left. M Loop at the end of the whip and attach @ enapper, as shown in Figur Figure 1 shows the handle of the whip, which should not be more than one foot long. A whip braided as desoribed may be perfectly controlled by the hand, and will enap like the orqok of @ pistol. 1 ON THE EVENING WORLD PEDESTAL, Some of the Best | Jokes of the Day.| IN GEORGIA. “Guilty or innocent?" asked the Judge “Oh, go ‘long, Jedge!" replied the pris. oner, ‘Des gimme five years en g¢ home!""—Atlanta Constitution, A GREAT HAUL. “Young Briefly had only been ad- mitted to the Bar a week when he made a fortune.
