If the American workman reads an arti-
Gle on american Mechanics From an Eng
lish Point OF View" lately published in an
English journal, he will probably have 9
keener appreciation than be had before Of
the advantages by which he is surrounded
In England the intelligent workman gets
no encouragement from his employer; In
America. il he is successful in one instance,
he is encouraged to renew his efforts, the
result being that his employer and the
country at large are benefited thereby. In
an English railway shop the same old-fash-
ioned tools and appliances. with few sxcep-
tions, are used at the present day that were
used 80 years ago. A body-maker's chest
of tools weighs 200 weight or more. Inc
American car builders tools consist OF .
small chest of tools weighing not more tnan
a quarter the weight OF an Englishmans
but each tool is so constructed as 70 De
of the utmost service to him, and with
this small chest of tools he is able TO perform
the most intricate work with which ne may De
brought in contact, with greater precision ano
dispatch. Another cause why Americans sur
pass the English in ingenuity is that informa-
ton is not1withheld from them. Papers os
every description are circulated and contn-
buted to by employers and employees on an
equal footing This circulation OF technical
papers is greatly appreciated. and eacn issue
e looked forward TO with eagerness. Work
men. too. receive encouragement, and any sug-
gestions made by them to their superiors as 70
the most economical ways Of working are at
tentively listened to; If proved to Dc as repre-
sented, the system Is tried and the man re-
ceives the thanks of his employer. and often
pecuniary remuneration as we'll This system
Of general encouragement is one OF the chief
reasons why the American manufacturer Is
able to pay greater wages and still send his
commodities to the English markets cheaper
than they can be produced in England

MARKED BY A HOG RINGER.

The Queer Stump Put Upon the Gift Of a
Wealthy Hoosier.
New York Evening SUM-
lone of the funniest things that have
heard for a long time happened few weeks
ago." said my Western friend, "out in In
diana, where one of the pillars of society is
a wealthy and generous old soul with an
immense fortune-the result of the inven-
tion of an ingenious triangular bit of iron
designed for the noses of hogs and called a
hog ringer. Now, it happened that the
pretty daughter of his pastor was about to
be married and (surely bride may indulge
in little lady-like wonder as to such
things) speculation was rite in the pastors
family as to what the good pillar would
send as gift. On the morning of the we'd
ding day there came to the house great box
bearing the card of the wealthy inventor.
"With pleased anticipation it was opened.
It contained dinner service of solid silver,
exquisite in design and finish. With little
cries of rapture, the bride took out piece
after piece and placed them side by side.
Then a queer little mark, where the mono
gram usually is, caught her attention; she
bent over it, and what do you think? Ex-
actly in the most conspicuous place on each
piece the dear old donor, with happy inspir-
alton, had had his hog ringer engraved"

here to reveal God to "show us the Father
and 1 learn that there is no human sorrow
without Gods sympathy. learn that
God above, who permits pain and even
death-He knew why-I learn that He cares
and loves. And is not this availing and
enduring comfort.
"And He came and touched the bier; and
they that bore him stood still. And He
said, young man, say unto thee, arise.
And he that was dead sat up and began to
speak. And He delivered him to his
mother And then st. Luke goes on to tell
how the multitude were affrighted by the
miracle. "And there came fear on ell;
and they gloriied God, saying that great
prophet is risen mp among us, and that
God hath visited His people" wish st.
Luke had told us how the young man was
affected. 1t would be universally interest
ing to know how life looked to him, and
what he did with his life after that marvel
Gus restoration. He who gave him life
taught him 1t only by His gift that life is
worth living. Did he live it afterward &C.
cording to this beginning?
1t makes one think of Browning's poem
about Lazarus. You remember how
Karshish, an Arab pilgrim, is represented
in the poem as making visit to Bethany
and spending a little time with Lazarus
after Christ had raised him from the dead,
and writing back letter about him to his
master in the East. Lazarus seemed to him
the strangest man that he had ever
seem. And especially in his estimation
of the value of things in the life about him.
To him, what other men accounted great
the splendors of men, the riches, the ambi-
tion which influence mems hearts-to Laz-
arus the talk about these things seemed idle
as the buzzing OF the flies. And the small
seemed great. The man looked out at human
life with ewes which had been bathed in
heaven. "The spiritual life around the
earthly life" he held to.
His heart and brain move there; his feet
stay here"
1t makes one wonder if the young man at
Main lived such as that after Christ gave
him life. Surely he went not back into the
old worldly ways of doing and measuring
things.
And why need we? GEORGE HODGES.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF GENTS,

Men Who Lack Some of the Qualities That
Distinguish Gentlemen.
New York Evening SUM-
"Now see here, said bright girl yester-
day, "I'm sick of all this outcry against the
word gent 1 like it and I'm going to use
it, for there isn't any other word to take its
place. Don't you know the 'gent?' Why,
America is full of them. There goes one
nova perfect type. You see he is we'll
dressed and good-looking, but without the
distinctive stamp of gentle breeding. He is
kind-hearted, courteous, in his blunt way.
He has considerable knowledge of the
world, and is a capital story-teller. He is
not actually vulgar; he is sometimes very
we'll educated, but he stops short of the
finest tact and the best of taste.
"He never fails in kind OF hearty-souled
chivalry toward women that somehow suits
them in spite of its clumsiness, because it is
SO transparently honest ana he himself so
deeply respectful. He is little pushing
and aggressive, but he is neither braggart
nor bully. In short, the gent is the type
of American whose sons will probably be
gentlemen"

To Escape n Sea Voyage He Travelled
Hundreds of Miles Alone.
Many q landsman on board ship has been
ready to say that if he were only once more
on shore he would never leave it Such
seems to have been the feeling of dog, of
which we read in the 'HistOry of Thomas
ton, Me-"
Captain Norton, of Cushing. had favor
ite dog, which he took with him on voy.
age to Wilmington, n. C. No sooner were
they at sea than, from sea-sickness or some
other cause, the creature became uneasy, and
renamed consOlable through the whole
voyage Soon after the vessel arrived at
Wilmington the dog was missed, and moth
ing more was seen of him. On getting back
to Gushing, however. the Captain found the
dog at home safe and sound. He had arrived
there in just IA days from the time of his
landing at Wilmington.
How he had made his way,-whether
across or around inlets or bays, passing cir
cuitously along the coast, or by the regular
travelled roads,-nobody could tell, and he,
of course, could not communicate. One
thing was clear, he had had enough of salt
water.

A Good DenI Easier TO Find Thun Animals

From the wasco SUM-
A crowd of professors, students and pack
mules is over in the John Day country
searching for fossils. The ignorance of
Eastern people concerning matters pertain
ing to this coast is truly wonderful, and the
ground chosen by this party of scientists to
prospect for fossils in is fair example of
it. Had they understood their business
they would have purchased through tickets
to Portland and stopped at the hotels there
while prosecuting their search.
It is true there are some fine fossils
up John Dsywsrds, but at the best the
specimens are only fossilized animals In
Portland the party could have found with
out trouble perfect specimens of iossilized
men. Some OF the interior towns, excepting
our own of course, could furnish fine speci-
mems, but Portland has the advantage of
through ticket rates and competitive point
fossils.

Penrose when they started one morning with
both dogs upon the trail of big bear lead

few minutes walk brought them to the ami

near the base of the Teton Mountains.
Senator Penrose sank upon his knee,
raised his Winchester rife, and at close
range-perhaps 60 feet-blew the top of the

tracks and hardly kicked. The skin was
