4 New System Of Apprenticeship.

The difficulty of getting thoroughly
qualified machinists, and the practical
failure of the old system of apprentice
ship, have led manufacturing firm in
Sprinheld, Mass, to devise new plan,
involving both school and shop work.
For beginners under twenty years of
age the term Of apprenticeship is fixed
at six years. In this time il is believ-
ed that an apprentice will be able to
acquire the theoretical and practical
knowledge needed To make him first
class journeyman. Those who are over
twenty years of age are allowed TO fin
ish their apprenticeship in five years,
and those who have worked i'm n shop
are advanced according TO proficiency.
The beginner is first put TO drawing
from sketches, then takes up projection
and diagram, and advances regularly
according to his ability. 1t is believed
that in this way one year will qualify
him as well to work from drawings as
four or five years ordinarily. All ap-
plicants are taken from four to twelve
weeks on trial, and if not satisfactory
are then dismissed. For the first years
labor five cents per hour is paid to
those under eighteen, six cents to those
who are eighteen, and seven cents 10
those who are twenty and upwards:
for the next years the rate is advanced
TO six, eight, ten, eleven. and twelve
cents. The firm also pay two cents
per hour additional into a reserve fund,
which is paid to those apprentices who
finish their full term of service: for
the six years this amounts to S400.
The organizers of this scheme
Messrs. Richards & Dole,-propose 10
require of each apprentice fifty-eight
hours week of shop work and nine
hours of study. This, we are inclined
TO think, is too much work and too
little study to secure the best results,
especially with the younger appren.
tices. Still the plan is we'll worth a
fair trial. 1t is said that the appli-
cants for apprenticeship already ex-
ceed the number that can be taken,
which speaks well for the plan aud
for the young mechanics of Spring.

OLD TIMBER.

Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man is that found in the an.
cient temples of Egypt in connection
with the stonework which is known TO
be at least four thousand years old.
This, the only wood used in the con.
struction of the temple, is in the form
of ties, holding the end of one stone
to another at its upper surface. When
two blocks were laid in place, an ex-
cavation about an inch deep was made
in each block, into which a tie shaped
like an hour.glass was driven. Il is
therefore very difficult to force any
stone from its position. The ties ap-
pear to have been of the tamarisk or

During the civil war he was in the
Confederate army. After the war he

August, 1879, he unsuccessfully ran
on the Kearney ticket for Attorney
General. This year he was nominated
as Il Presidential elcctor.

itself to be the best blood purifier ever dis
covered, effectually curing Scrofula, Syphilitic
disorders, Weakness of the Kidneys, all Nervous
disorders and Debility. 1t corrects indigestion.
1t makes the old feel young, the young feel
gay, and will invariably drive out of the sys-
tenn the many ills that human flesh and blood
are heir to. Price of large bottle with full di-

During the past week there has been no ma

Our price list of boots aud shoes is revised this
week for the fall trade, for which the wholesale
dealers are now quite fully prepared. In the
leather trade we note reduction of 10 on Bur

| and steel are firm in prices and dealers are
looking for q small advance to be established.
In hardware there are no changes OF conse-
uuence to note. With the exception of a de-
cline on screws and carriage bolts prices are
held pretty firm and stronger feeling exists
as to staple goods.
Dealers are anticipating that on account of
the temporary scarcity of good milling wheat

the advance cannot we'll be maintained for
more than two or three weeks. unless the wheat

Chicago prices of the day. Eggs are scar ce and
advanced. The trade in butter is quite active,
with prices steady. Grass-fed cattle are coming

wool buyers here pay little attention to the
