a Grocer's Profits.

A sale of paper IS great part OF grocer's
business. The way it is sold is unobserved by
the purchaser, and it is not supposed 1t IS
purchased at all.
A ream of wrapping paper weighs about
fifty pounds and costs about seven cents
pound. The articles that are necessary 10
wrap in paper are weighed after a sufficient
amount of the paper is placed in the scales
for the wrapping. OF course the paper Is a
part of the weight This means Of obtaining
a sale Of paper in the case OF tea at sixty
cents per pound gives the grocer $50 Tor
ream Of paper. All articles give profit for
the paper corresponding to the price of the
goods. The use of paper in scales should be
forbidden. When it is discerned what an
imposition it is, it will be stopped Grocers
are all acquainted with this way OF getting
q profit on paper. A poor man is unable TO
pay profit on paper. a merchant OF too
much character TO cheat any one will not
weigh his paper His pound is sixteen ounces
of the goods purchased. There are great
many cheats that a community does not see.

THE MEANEST MAN YET.
A Proprietor Who Pocketed an En-
ploye's Idea-OwnersIip of Inventions

ploye's Idea-Ownership of Inventions
have always thought that / numbered the
meanest man i'll the world among my ac-
quaintances. He is the proprietor of small
mandatory, which makes him neat little
fortune every year Among his employees
was an old man, whom lie paid the muniti-
cent sum OF 50 week to sit at the door and
take the time Of his workmen and keep in
truders out The old fellow, silent, melan-
choly and always locking hungry, had, 1t
seems, an inventive turn. He was continu-
ally making little experiments III useful d.
rections, and he had quite collection OF
small inventions that he was too poor to
patent.
One day his employer discovered this, and
he Immediately laid claim to them on the
ground that they had been made in the time
he paid for and that they consequently be-
longed to him. He actually secured One pat
ented it and began TO make money by it
without allowing a penny TO his s. a week
helot, when accident brought the matter to
the attention Of another manufacturer, who
did rot wear q gizzard where his heart be-
longed.
This person took tile inventor into his own
shop took his inventions in charge, patented
not make himself and divided fairly with
their creator. The prolific and utilitarian
bent of the old mans mind was encouraged
to greater activity, and he is still inyenting.
He and his good friend are partners. Both
are well to do and growing richer yearly
But the meanest man is still manufacturing
bis one patent and pocketing all the pro-
ceeds without an idea that he owes any re-
sponsibility to the employe whom he starved
while be had him and robbed into the bar
gain.
The question as to the ownership Of inven-
tons made by employees III their working
time has long been vexed one. In most
establishments the employer sets up a claim to
them but pays the inventor a royalty. Often,
however, the employer wants all, and mex
perience and lack of means to carry the mat
ter to law generally force the employee to
submit to the injustice. 1t is gratifying to
note, therefore, that the supreme court of
Wisconsin has established a precedent in such
eases. The court had a case in which work
mans invention was claimed by his employer
on the ground that the model was made in
the hours of regular labor. out of material
belonging to the employer. But the just
and humane judge said: mo. You hire
this mans services in your trade, not his
ideas It is the work of his hands, not bis
brain, you pay for, and inasmuch as you
derive an ample profit from his labor, and
assume no obligation to aid him If he becomes
i'll or helpless through devotion to your
service, you can afford the little time and
material he used in giving his idea tangible
form" A more reasonable or just decision
was never rendered in the world.-Alfred

When the late Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., was a
boy he went to sea. The commander OF the

the spare hours of one cruise in writing a sea

looking down upon a group OF seamen, sung
out: Has any one got penlnifef" Il have,

cludejl that he could write better story HIM

there are $1,000 TO 10000 Of them necessary

and uncouth, but are marked by such
genality of nature that the key to it is diff

men requiring any more actual animal
