The progress of II nation can be very
well followed by noting the character of
the tools required in prosecuting the
manual labor, says the Engineering
Magazine. The crudest agricultural
methods are coupled with primitive
plows ana other instruments of the hus-
bandman. There is an old saying that a
good workman requires but few tools,
and the most elaborate kit collected by
II modern enthusiastic carpenter whom
beginning his trade may be no indica-
ton OF the workman's Skill; but, on the
other hand, the workman who has added
to his stock of implements new though
simple aids, is apt to be the one who can
do the best work the most rapidly.
The United States is now recognize
as particularly strong in the machine
tool industry, not only in regard to the
higher class of lathes, planners and bor-
ing machines, but in all the minor hand
tools, measuring devices and graduated
scales, and in the many productions that
were but a few years ago to be had only
from importers, poor in quality and in
design.
The fundamental principles that I'M
derlie the theory Of construction of ma
chine tools have been studied by the
American engineers, melted by the me-
CcSSIlS VI uOllS SoOu Woth III large guam
titles through tho ins~trumentality of
only moderately skilled workmen whose
wages are high.
1t would be invidious to point to any
one man or any set of men as presumably
the ~originators OF what is theoretically
good in our application Of the laws of
physics to our embodiment of these laws
in labor saving machinery, nor will
space permit the explanation of how cor
rect principles introduced little by little
have been accepted by all, and thus in
time become characteristic of our de-
signs.
That our machine-tool makers have
produced labor saving machines capable
of doing the best work with less skill on
the part of the operatives is acknowl-
edged by the acceptance of such lnnchin-
cry as models in older countries where,
in some cases, still greater Improvement
has been made, while in other cases the
best features have beer lost through the
failure of the copyist to grasp the theory
of the conception and to understand the
motive and aim of the originator.

The holiday season always brings about
more or less change IN business. Aditferent
class of goods are sought after and business
activity Is transferred from the dealers in
staples to the places where special holiday
goods are to be found. For a few days prev
ious to Christmas there was quito g rus b
among the retail dealers, and quite a large
amount of money found its way into the
hands OF merchants. The holiday trade
might have been heavier, but 1t was upon
the whole as good as could DC expected.
Tho holidays always interfere with the
jobUing trade, as retail dealers are supposed
to have full stocks to begin with. and they
are more interested in selling the goods in
hand than in ordering more. The joOblng
trade. however, has been exceedingly good
oil the month, and a little breathing spell
during the holidays will DO acceptable. Col
%lections in the country were generally good
and the Christmas trade, putting more money
into the pockets OF the merchants, must tend
TO make them still better.
The produce markets have shown the
usual activity before the holiday and the
usual dullncss after. Poultry, especially
turkeys, was in good demand, but chickens
came in most too fast and the market broke.
Butter continues TO De very weak, while eggs
are about steady.
The grain market wore n holiday garb the
greater part Of the week ana business was
IulHCI Jun. oDtIdlOIS appeared w NC
anxious to straightcn out their business and
settle up old deals than they were to negotiate
any new obligations. AS a rule not much
activity is looked for until afte" the first of
the year.
The car blockade continues to cut an i'm
portant figure in the grain trade. Ocean
traffic has also been crowded TO its utmost to
accommodate the heavy exports OF grain and
breadstuffs. It's not surprising that the
greatest trouble is experienced in moving the
surplus crops from the interior TO the sea-
board, ocean carrlGge being in comparison
free and unir Interrupted. There Is of course,
q limit to the capacity of the inland facili-
ties, the extension of which must be slow,
but, given sufficient attraction, the provision
of ocean carriers is practically limltless.
At the same time the increased ocean move
ment would he impossible were it confined
to those ports which have. been hitherto re
garded as the natural outlets for American
grain exports. And it is as much the result of
cOmpulsion as of competition, that we find an
already important and an increasing growth
of grain shipments from ports not previously
recognized rs factors in that trade. The
diversion has not, of course, been altogether
undirected nor unstirnulated. There has been
n quick recognition of the opportunity by
railroads serving these new outlets and by
the shipping interests there, and whatever
Inducements lay in their power they have
offered. By n combination of these efforts
the shipments have even been freely redi-
rected iuto some channels which for a
considerable timo past have fallen largely

A . Quare Deal.

On warm day in July, somewhere
about 1873, the town OF Hawthorn was
born, in Esmcralda county, Nevada, says
Sam Davis in Short Stories. 1t was a
ypical city OF the sage brush, ushered
into municipal life with rough lumber
and canvas tents. In one of the tents
was a faro table made of odd dry goods
boxes and boards. Everybody was play
ing who could get near enough to reach
the layout with his money. Just oppO-
site the dealer was seated II young man
in blue overalls and Il slouched hat. He
laid a twenty dollar piece on the king,
and, as he did so, muttered something
that no one understood. He waited pa
tiently until the card won and the
dealer, reaching over to him, placed II
stack of chips alongside his twenty dol
lar piece.
''Guess there's some mistake" said
the player, quietly.
The'dealer was a man who had been
sitting behind Il faro box for nearly a
quarter of Il century, and the accuracy
of his mathematics had never before
been questioned. He paused with his
thumb resting upon the box and raised
a pair of eyes to the player that most
men would not care to see flash in anger.
The two men looked at each other

the dealer, after "A glance at the stack of

and rested on the butt of his man-killer.

dealer as he swept back $40 worth of the
chips, II didn't hear you say so, and if
the king had lost would have taken the

No, you wouldn't, not by a ID

And why not?" came quickly over
the layout, with danger accented in
every syllable.

to note how few of the thrones OF Europe
are destined to descend in IL direct line.
Russia and Italy rejoice, it is true, in

of the BcIgians and the future king Of

will pass from the mad King Otto either
to the present regent, his uncle. or to

Should the little queen of Holland die

Whatever may be said OF Mr.. Richard
Mansfield as an actor-aud Mr.. Clement
Scott, in his observations of American actors
in London, said nothing at all of Lim-it
must be admitted that Mr.. Mansfield has
good business sense. He has given instruc-
tions 10 his business manager to discontinue
the use OF Autographs and printings OF all
kinds for use in windows and on dead walls,
and to coniine all advertising exclusively TO
the columns OF newspapers.
Herein Mr.. Mansfield acts well his part.
Tue busy, busting American citizen no
longer stops on the curb to read signs Of
any kind on the bill board. This is es-
scntially a newspaper reading age. We
look in our public journals for news of tho
theater, and nowhere else. The develop
ment of the art of newspaper illustration
no longer makes the actor u slave to the
full llneamcntS of his face and figure to the
public eye. That can all be done now in the
newspaper. Occasionally the actor will find
n journal that will not, under any pretense
or for any profit, admit IL picture to It's adver-
tlsIng columns, but there will be a weak
place in its ethical arinor which Will allow it
to place the biggest picture it can tiud on its
reading pages-sOmetimes on it's editorial
page.
If the question of reciprocity is to be con-
sldcred, the advertising columns of the news
paper Is the place for the theatrical an
nouncement. No billboard ever made an
actor, Tn newspapers are creating them all
the time. Indeed, newspapers may point
with pride to Mr.. Richard Mansfield himself
as one OF the finest types of their creation.
