AMERICAN woRKMEN.
Their Productive Power as Compar
81 with That of Englishmen.

Their Productive Power as Compared
with That of Englishnien A'
Every one agreed that the American
skilled artisan puts forth more physical
effort and produces more work in "a
given time than the English workman
or the workman of any other manu-
featuring community. This fact struck
me and MANY experienced directors of
works Most forcibly: Before concluding
our tour 1 had the Opportunity of Feri-
flying and strengthening this first i'm
preston. After watching the American
workmen, at Pittsburgh and elsewhere
l arrived at the same conclusion as to
their efficiency. Their productive power
is greater than that of the English
workers in the same time, and their
working hours are longer and their re-
muneration is greater. Imet one of my
old workmen at Mr.. Carnegie's works
in Pittsburgh, and he iudorsed my opin-
ion. Speaking from his own practical
experience;
81 am quite different man here" he
said, ''from what was in the old
! country; don't know why it is so;
whether it is that live in stimulating
atmosphere or whether it is the exam
pie set me; but know l have got the go
in me here. l can do more work; | feel

know that it WON'T last. shall be

production, but it saps the vital ener-
gies and cuts short the career. The
continental 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 manu-
facturers is keener than in this country.
They work their business at high pres
sure. There is a terrific struggle be-
tween them for possession of the mar
kets. They put forth their utmost
energies, and when they succeed their
reward is great; but all cannot be the
leaders in industry. This fierce compe-
tition reacts on the men. We were sur
prised to find in democratic country
like America that the workmen had SO
little power and were to such large
extent the docile instruments of ener-
getic employers. s-t
The "bosses, as the foremen and
managers 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 able to protect
the men In this respect. The bosses
have the faculty Of driving the men
and getting the maximum amount ot
work ont of them, and the men do not
seem to have the inclination or power
to resist the pressure American manu-
facturers thus get the greatest possible
service ont of their plant.-Sir james
t{ftson, in Contemporary Review.

DIAMOND SMUGGLING.
How Dog Was Used to beat the Customs
Officers.

Oficers
Talking about smuggling reminds
me of a trick / saw resorted TO by pas
senger on one of the big Cunarders a
couple of years ago, said a loquacious
commercial traveller. "You know there
is a duty on diamonds, and one of the
passengers had three large stones
worth several thousand dollars, which
he had purchased in London.l The
problem of how to evade paying duty
on the stones worried him considerably
but at last he evolved a plan, and few
days before the steamer arrived in New
York he proceeded to execute it,
,'The chief officer had little skye
TERROR, and the passenger after consid-
cradle coaxing induced him to sell the
dog. AS soon as the smuggler gained
possession of the animal he tied him up
and gave him nothing to eat until just
! before we were to 90 ashore. He then
procured some fat meat from the cook,
and cutting off a piece little larger
| than a walnut made hole in it into
which he placed one of the diamonds.
"a dog will generally bolt piece OF
| fat without chewing it, and, of'course, a
diamond will go down with it The
hungry dog swGAowed @the meat, as his
owner expected he would, and in a
short time the diamonds were safely
slowed away in his interior. The dia
mond smuggler had no diHienlty IL
evading the vigilance of the custom
house officials, and was soon on his wa,
up town, leading the dog by string.
4 81 met him again q few days after
i ward, and asked him how he rccovercl
the stones. Easily enough he replied
'As soon as got home shot the do
and found the diamonds after sher
search. OF course / was sorry for th
dog, but dogs are cheap and the tarit

THE GREATEST MEAT-EATERs.
They Are to BE Found Among the Aus
traIian CoIonista.

traItan COtOniSrS.
Vegetarians may be interested to
know that the Australian colonists
are the largest consumers Of meat in the
world, the average being 276 pounds per
annum for each adult. The average
consumption in the United States is f2O
pounds, and in the United Kingdom 105
pounds, and among the continental
nations the average is lower still. There
is said to be moral in all this for the
Australian meat eater. Ithas been held
that animal food in excess is not a slim
ulator of the intelligence nor sharp
ener of the finer faculties. Social OBJ
servers are given to pointing out that
the population of the Australian colo
MES is already assuming larrikin type
beef fed and given to violence of Ian
guage and behavior, and with no re-
deeming virtues. tits also said that the
colonies are developing a type addicted
to sport and horse racing, and incapable
of taking any sustained interest in art
or literature or public affairs. Prophetic
hints are given of future Australia
peopled by excitable dyspeptics with
characteristics tempered by a love OF
outdoor sports. All this will he due tc
