American worLmen.

Every one agreed that the Americans
skilled artisan puts forth more physical
effort and produces more work in
given time than the English workman
or the workman of any other manufact-
uring community. This fact struck me
and many experienced directors of works
most forcibly. Before concluding our
tour had the opportunity of verifying
and strengthening this first impression.
After watching the American workmen
at Pittsburg and elsewhere / arrived at
the same conclusion as to their effi-
cheney. Their productive power is greater
than that of the English workers in the
same time, and their working hours are
longer and their remuneration is greater.
! met one of my old workmen at Mr..
Carnegie's works in Pittsburg, and he in
dorsed my opinion. Speaking from his
own practical experience:
II am quite a different man here,"
he said, "from what l was i'm the old
country; l don't know why il is so;
whether it is that l live i'm n stimulating
atmosphere or whether it is the example
set me; but know that have got the
go in me. can do more work: / feel
that have it in me; but also feel and
! know that it won't last. / shall be
done in 10 years.
No, it won't last. The extreme physi-
cal effort put forth results i'm greater pro-
duction, but it saps the vital energies
and cuts short the career. This con-
tinual work at high pressure does not
pay in the end. at won't last;" and
the remark applies with equal force to
the employers as well as to the workers.
Competition between manufacturers is
keener than in this country. They work
their business at high pressure. There is
terrific struggle between them for
possession of the markets. They put
forth their utmost energies; and when
they succeed their reward is great but
all can not be the leaders in industry.
This fierce competition reacts on the
men. We were surprised to find in a
democratic country like America that
the workmen had so little power and
were to such large extent the docile in
struments of energetic employers.
The bosses" as the foreman and man.
ayers Of factories are called, drive the
men to an extent that employers would
never dream Of attempting in this
country. There are trades unions, but
they do not seem able1to protect the
men in this respect. The bosses" have
the faculty of driving" the men and
getting the maximum amount of work
out of them, and the men do not seem
to have the inclination or power to resist
the pressure. American manufacturers
thus get the greatest possible service out
of their plant.-Sir James Kitson, in the
Contemporary Review.

The Dust OF D~shlng MAD Anthony
Divided aud RelMterred.

Ahc DuaN oh b0sMtmG MnO AmNhOMy
Divided and Relmterred.
There is no doubt that one portion OF
the body Of General Wayne, the hero Of
Stony Point" Mad Anthony, as he was
popularity tenned--was inferred at the
place where he died and the other in his
native county. His original burial place
was Fort Presque Isle, upon the site OF
which the city of Erie, Pa, now stands;
the other locality honored as his last
resting place is Rednor Cemetery, in
Chester county. Pa. According to the
Detroit Free Press, this curious circum-
stance was brought about in the follow
ing manner:
In the year 1915 the family of this
famous man was given permission 10 re-
move his dust 10 Rednor, but upon open
ing the grave il was found that the body
was partly petrified, and, consequently,
very heavy. A medical friend OF the
family, recognizing the fact that il would
be a very difficult and costly task to
transport the remains in that condition,
determined as far as possible to remove
the petrified flesh from the bones, and
this was accordingly done. The bones
were then carefully packed up and
delivered TO the son. who was kept in ig-
norance of the operation, and he con-
veyed the box containing the precious
remains of his fathers body TO his native
county, where they were inferred with
appropriate ceremonies.
A monument was erected in 1909 over
the grave by the Pennsylvania Society OF
the Cincinnati. What remained of the
warrior was reinterred at Fort Presque
Isle, and some years ago was discovered
in the same state of preservation as when
first exhumed, in box bearing his name.
Another memorial stone was raised in
that place, and thus was commemorated
the fact that all that was mortal of Mad
Anthony" Wayne found final resting
place in two localities far apart from
each other
