One oi the famous school-masters OF the

an Irish Immigrant. In those days poor

Colonies. in payment of their passage
across the Atlantic. Master Sullivan was
living in Durham. and paid the passage
here OF a young Irish woman.-in Shingles.
She was the last one the shpmaster had to
dispose OF.
Sullivan eventually married her. aud she
became the mother OF Governor James Sui
livan OF Massachusetts, aud Gen. John
Sullivan, President of New Hampshire.
Said John was also AttOrney-General of
n. H., in 1892, and Johns son George the
same in 1915, and Georges son John the
same again in 1S4S. This last john sue
ceeded, as Attorney-General, John Sulli-
van Wells, also descendant of old Master
Sullivan.
Last year the bones of the old master
and his wife were eXhu,ned at Berwick.
Maine, near Great Falls Village. and en-
tombed in the Gen. John sullivan tomb in
Durham. The old man died at the remark

ton, machinery does the heaviest of the
work; the workman's hours of labor are
fewer than formerly; his wages are
greater; and his earnings will buy Y astly
more, dollar for dollar, than.in any previ
Gus age in the worlds history.
What laborer of to-day would be salts
fled with the remuneration, the food, tn e
shelter, the clothing of the laboring classes
of one hundred years ago? The wants of
men. as well as their thoughts, are widened
by the process of the suns. And in no
section of society have the daily WAITS
been more markedly increased or the fac
iIties for gratifying them either, than
among those that live by labor.
'If the workman were his own m aster
when he had done in two hours with tn G
aid OF machinery what it would have taken
him twelve hours to do without it, he would
stop at the end of the two
So says the theoretical socialist. The
practical workman never has, nor. we be-
Ieve, ever will, act so foolishly; certainly
not until the limit of mans capacity to en-
joy has been reached. When the united
products of manual aud mechanical effort
fully satisfy the desires of all men, and
leave no margin of want untitled then and
then only will men be satisfied with the re
duetion of effort deuauded by the social
lists. Until then the larger part of every
increase in production by mechanical i'm
provemeuts will 90 To- swell the volume OF
good things for human use aud enjoyment.
Our machinery enables our thousands of
busy workers to accomplish what millions
could not have done years ago, and a very
large part of the aggregate increase of
product comes back to them in convcu-
fences and luXurieS surprising those the
wealthiest could enjoy were machinery not
employed or were it employed, as the So
cialiSt advocates, without increasing the
aggregate of production. The lazineSs of
the savage and the advantages of civiiza-
tion are Incompatible. The chief merit OF
machinery lies in its enabling us to multi
ply constantly the scope and variety OF our
enjoymcnts without a corresponding in
crease of toll.

The Limit of Work.
From the scientific American ]

l. distributing the prizes to workmeu at
the Paris Exhibition, Louis Blanc, the
leader OF the French Republican Socialist
party, quoted approvingly these words OF
Simoude Dc Si>moudl:
1T the workman were his own master,
when he had done in two hours with the
aid OF machinery what would have taken
him twelve hours 70 do without 1t, he
would stop at the end of the two.
NJ. Blanc had heen discussing very
eloquently, but also very fallacously, the
relations of machinery to labor. II men
were properly united in the bonds of
association, he said. if the solidarity of
interests were realized. ''the happy result
oT the application OF mechanical power to
industry would be equal production, with
less of effort, for all. The discovery OF an
economic method would never have the
lamcntabie consequence of robbiDg men Of
the work by which they live. Unfortu-
nately, we are far from this ideal. Under
the empire OF that universal antagonisEI
which is the very essence Of the economic
constitution OF modern societies. aud
which LOO often, only profits one man by
running another, machinery has been en-
ploy ed to make the rule OF the strong
weigh more heavily on the weak. There
is not single mechanical invention
which has not been subject of anguish
and cause OF distress to thousands of
fathers OF families from the moment it be-
gan to work"
II all this. and much else that NJ. Blanc
alleges. were true, then the condition of
ali workingmen to-day should be in every
way worse than that of their fathers. IN

case. Tlere never was time when the

lhough it was very good specimen Of it.
The letters were too innocent, ard had too
little point in them. But they were done
with admirable skill. The grammar was

receives the letter, he places his half sheet
