Merit Wins.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills. Bucklen's 8 Arnica Salve and Electric Btters, and have never handled remedies that sell as we'll. or that have given snch satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits w. H. Camp, Druggist. Run the office best you can,
 It's all that you can do;
 If you want to keep in, oh democrat man,
 You must paddle your own canoe.
 But after all this life is span,
 The old gives way to the new.
 Tippe out of your old canoe.

Small Screws.

The smallest screws in the world are
made in watch factory. There can be no
doubling that assertion on any score. They
are cut from steel wire by machine,
but as the chips fall down from the knife
it looks as if the operation was simply cut
ting up the wire for fun. One thing Is
certain, no screws can be seen, and yet a
screw is made every third operation. The
fourth jewel wheel screw is the next thing
to being invisible, and to the naked eye it
looks like dust. With glass, however, it
is seen to be small screw with 260 threads
to the inch, and with very fine lass the
threads may be seen very clearly
These little screws are 4-1OO0th of an
inch in diameter, and the heads are double
in size. 1t is estimated than an ordinary
lady's thimble would hold 1907 600 of these
tiny little screws.
About 100000 of them are made a
month, but no attempt is ever made to count
them. In determining the number 100 of
them are placed on very delicate balance,
and the number of the whole amount is
determined by the weight of these. All of
the small parts of the watch are counted in
this way, probably 80 out of the 100.
after being cut the screws are hardened
and put in frames, about 100 to the frame,
heads up. This is done very rapidly, but
entirely by sense of touch instead of sight,
so that blind man could do just as well
as the owner of the sharpest eyes. The
heads are then polished in an automatic
machine, 10000 at time. The plate on
which they are polished is covered with oil
and grinding compound, and on this the
machine moves them rapidly by reversing
motion until they are fully polished.

Newspaper Ethics.

From the Printers Circular.
If lawyer is asked to plead cause he
demands his fee before he opens his per-
suasive mouth You may hang and go to
the naughty one before he will give you
his legal services gratis. If one desires to
know what investments are good and likely
to be profitable, the broker who advises him
is quite sure to charge commission for
making the purchase. Why, then, should
an editor be expected to advocate all sorts
of public projects pro bono publico? The
contractors for improvements make money
out Of them. Why should they not pay
the editors who present their arguments to
the public? 1t is not considered deroga-
tory for the highest lawyer in the land to
appear before the city council aud advocate
the granting of franchise; but the editor
who charges money for doing the same
thing is assailed with cries of easubsidized
press We are not saying that the cry is
unjust, but we do ask where the difference
is between that which the lawyer is praised
for doing and that for which the editor is
denounced. The man from whom the
lawyer asks fee proceeds to draw his
check; the man from whom the editor asks
pay cries ''blackmail.' Yet both do the
selfsame thing Why is there one code
of morals for the Bar and another for the
Press

skill of the Hands.
,tmeyicai. Iachinist.

llBse7,ican NaehtliSt.
We hear great deal about the wonder
full precision and accuracy Of machinery in
these days, and of course it is wonderful;
but the degree of accuracy to which the
human hand can be trained is equally won
derful.
Playing cards are required to be cut with
the sides quite parallel to each other, be-
cause if a pack be trimmed by machine
slightly wider at one end than the other,
and they become turned "end for end" in
dealing. the excess in width of sonic cards
over others at the end of the pack will be
double the variation in any one card, which
would facilitate cheating, very minute
variation being perceptible. The men who
test these cards for this make calipers of
their finger and thumb, and by passing
them along from one end to the other, de-
tect difference in width between the two
ends which it is difficult to measure by any
other means.
There are men employed in factories
where dried yeast is made, whose business
it is to put the yeast into packages weigh
ing a certain amount each. 1t is on table
in front of them in large plastic mass,
and there are the scales for weighing 1t.
But the men do not use the scales. They
simply separate from the mass with their
hands lump of it and put it up, and you
may choose at random and put it on the
scales, and it will weigh exactly the right
amount, the scales beam just balancing.
Where large numbers of eggs are ham
died and shipped to market, there is a pro
cess known as 'candleing'' eggs, which
consists in taking them into the hands,
usually two eggs in each hand at time,
and holding them up before lighted can
die. The light shining through them re-
veals to the practiced eye the exact condi-
ton of the contents. But some of the
men soon get SO that they do not need to
use the candle, the mere contact Of their
hands with the shells denotiDg the condi-
ton of the egg just as infallibly and much
more quickly. And they distinguish IN
that way not merely eggs which are decid-
edly bad, but those which are just barely
beginning to lose their freshness.
Here are three different ways in which
extreme skill of the hands is shown by
persistent training: First, in detecting
Slight differences in magnitude; second, in
weight; and lastly, in texture or character
of surface handled.

Cost of Getting News.

From the Boston Herald.
Eugene NJ. Camp, who has collected the
statistics for America on this point, says
that the entire cost of all news used in the
papers in this country is 500, sos, 900 per
year. This is curiously divided. The
special bureaus, which are principally located
in New York, with the right to look over
the proofs every night of some of the morn
ing journals, costs S345,000. This is divi-
ded among 100 of the leading provincial
papers. The business Of the Associated
Press now amounts to 81, 100000 yearly,
and that of the United Press foots up to
S450,000. These two sums, with the spe-
cial outlay for telegraph tolls outside of
the organizations, place the total to all the
papers of 81 $4,000 for this department.
In addition to this, there are to be reckon
ed the special services of professional cor
respondents in adjacen towns and important
centres whose salaries aggregate $1,000
800 besides. This makes the total cost of
all the service about 81, 1886, 900 per annum.
In the larger towns of the Union it costs all
the way from $500 to $1,000 week for
the working up of local districts. MIR.
Camp reckons this yearly expense at about
S15,0O0,O00. This is a correct analysis of
the expense in collecting news, and the
proportion in which one branch of the ser
vice is related to the other. There are
three lines on which this work proceeds
the gathering of news by the local repor-
tiers, the use of the telegraph and the spe-
cial correspondent. Each method is close
ly related to the other. The statement
shows that there has been a great develop
ment of journalism in the matter of news.
Every effort is made to get the news, and
one combination only paves the way for
another in order to keep the lead in this
department of a newspaper. The greater
the combination, the greater the result, and
the paper that has the news is the one that
the public is most willing to pay for.
