CoNMCNIsM IN THE SHoP.-Interchange of
tools and other appliances In the shop nav be-
made either very pleasant, or a source OF graf
annoyance. The stealing of tools l. often
practIsed, but only by those who not only for
get their duties as mechanics, but their honor
as men. No right-minded mechanic viii rsfu .
assistance to his fellow workman, either in ad-
vice or in the loan of tools, but il As the height
OF impudence TO reject the advice without Civ
ing reason, or to return borrowed tools in q
condition untitled for service. There must bs
more or less of the apostolic idea OF communism
In the shop; ''all things must be in common" TO
a certain extent, but Al is an evidence of a moan
nature when the workman Is willing 20
use the tools of his fellow and return them in
shape unfit for further service until repaired
The habit of leaving borrowed tool. when done,
with, where last used, is almost criminal. This
negligence 10 call II by no harsher name-is
very common; but n Is dishonest a well as
careless. Many valuable tools are thus injured,
and sometimes lost. The workman who is 20
neglectful and careless can hardly be deemed
honest. There is, or should be, a sentiment OF
honor in this respect among workmen, and we
are certain that a simple allusion 10 the matter
Will induce our careless mechanics TO ssreform
their ways.'-AmeTsc0n Artisan.
