DIGNITY OF LABOR.
The Best Man Is He Who Does Most FO
His Fellow-Men.

The Best Man Is He Who Does Most For
His Feliow-Men.
All useful work is honora BILE. The best
life is that in which the powers of mind
and body are most beneficently en-
ployed. An indolent life, whether
passed in poverty or wealth, is de-
graded and degrading life. No man can
serve God by any other means than by
serving his fellow-men. We do not dis
parage the church or the worship of God,
in public or private places, but he is the
truest and most devout worshiper who
goes about the practical duties Of life in
the right spirit, feeling that he is re-
sponsible for the use he makes Of his
time, talents, strength and opportuni-
ties. The man who, according to his
ability, does the most to promote the
welfare of his fellow-men, be he scaven-
ger or statesman, hod-carrier or preacher
of the Gospel is the best man on earth.
The dignity of labor is not dependent
on the sphere of ones activities so much
as on the spirit of the worker and the
nearness of his approach to his
highest possibilities Of usefulness. "A
good cobbler is more digni-
fed and honorable worker than
the man who, having no ca
pacity for intellectual pursuits, scorns
to toll for livelihood and wastes his
life in the substratum Of profession.
We do not often see a day laborer who
missed his career in falling to be a
Clergyman; but who has not been panied
to see and hear, in the pulpit, men who
missed their vocation in declining man
ual labor? The most useful of all work
ers are scientists and inventors. The
former increase the area and sum total
of human knowledge The latter apply
this increase to the practical affairs of
life, so that it makes the world brighter,
happier and better. The inventors
work multiplies the work Of all other
toilers, enabling one man to do that
which had previously required the eff
forts of many men. Invent tion has ele-
waited almost all kinds of work, elimi-
mating the grosser elements and aug
menting its intellectuality. The gap
between man and beast, in the world of
labor, is being steadily widened by the
work of the inventor Granted that his
motives are as good as those of other
mon, we must give the inventor the
place of honor, for the results of his
labor are more benefcent than those Of
any other class of workers.-Inventive
Age.

HOUSEHOLD BREvITIES.

"A spoonful of strong vinegar iR~a-

nuts from soaking fat.
Add little kerosene oil to the water

Put camphor gum with your new

one cupful of milk and tablespoonful

An easy way to spoil the evening
meal is for each member to tell the sad

over the results Of this infelicitous COM

act the refreshing effect Of all the good

BELLE OF THE WATCH FACTORY

From the " aterOurS Comm Republican.
The working girls of Waterbury
are VIGOROUSLY the prettest, bright
est and best dressed in Connecticut.
No one knows this better than the
young men of the city. When the
announcement was made by New
York Sunday paper that it would
give a 500 loCket and necklace to the
most popular factory girl in Connecti-
cut. there was a determination on the
part of many, especially employees of
the Waterbury Watch Factory, to
bring the prize to the Brass City. At
this factory one can not help admit
ring the systematic way in which the
employees went TO work to capture the
trophy. In the first place. 500 was
pledged to purchase 40C0VO e.. Then
each department employing young
ladies voted to see which was the
most popular girl in the department.
These votes made choice OF Mamie
f. Kelly in the case depart
ment, Myra Holmes in the fin
ishing department and Hettie Brad
ley in the train department. A gen.
eral vote of the factory took place
Wednesday to see upon which Of the
three favOrites all the ballots should
be cast. The votes were counted by
FOremen Mcdonald, Barnard and
Everett of the three departments.
The count showed Miss Kelly to
have 2OOO, Miss Holmes 100, and Miss
Bradley 80. The 1000 votes will be
cast for Miss Kelly. The contest is
to last about two weeks longer. The
jewel is to be exhibited in Waterbury
shortly. Merchants are bidding for
the privilege of exhibiting it, Money
obtained this way will be devoted to
buying votes for Miss Kelly.
Miss Kelly was overcome when she
heard the result Of the ballot. and
had to be taken to her home in the
Brooklyn district in hack. She is a
pretty little I9-year-oId blonde, and
said to be as amiabIe rs pretty. Her
work consists of putting dIaIs on the
Watches With her 1000 votes to be-
gin on 1t will be hard to beat her.

SALARIES oE SOME ARTISTS.

The orchestra of the Metropolitan
opera house consists of about fifty
players who receive $50 to $50 week
for playing four nights week. Theirs
is profession of itself and differs as
much from ordinary orchestral play
ing as etching does from whitewash-
ing.
The members of Thomas orchestra
and Gilmore's band get from s. to $50
performance, depending on their
skill, and $3.50 to s. for a rehearsal,
OF course the higher prices are paid
out to the great sOloists. These are
the best paid orchestra players in
America, and the chief beauty OF their
work is, that while these two Organi-
cations pay them a fair living, they
have so much time at their disposal
that they can double their salaries by
playing at concerts and other like ell
tertainment s.-New York News.
