The csPmaking Industry.

Capmakers are a fairly well paid
class of workmen. The trade is mi
nutely subdivided. One man cuts the
material, another sews the peak, an
other blocks the crown, another sews
the sides, and still another presses the
seams. while the small finishing touches.
such as cord and tassel, are given by
girls. Work is done by the piece, and
capmakers earn from fifty cents to two
dollars per dozen caps The most skill
full men in busy seasons earn as high e.
thirty dollars a week, and occasionally
men have been known to arm fifty
dollars per week
Wages however may run down to ten
dollars a week or less. The No for
making winter caps begins in April and
ends IN October. Then comes q lun,
and In November begins the a for
making summer caps. About three
quarters Of the work Is done between
April and October.
Materials are as varied as formA
Silks, Yelvets and cassimeres r some
Among the most expensive caps are
those made for yachtsmen and for
naval officers. The bullion embroid-
cry adds considerably TO the cost OF
such caps. Much of this Is imported,
but some of it IL made by girls, who
work together IN small shops OF at
home, earning from six to fourteen dol
lars per week. 1t Is one Of the prettiesi
Of the many dainty trades that flourish

How to Preserve Wooden Posts.
To preserve wooden posts bore with

be six inches above the ground when
the post shall be set. Then char over
a good fire for a quarter of an hour, so

the hole with boiling coal tar and drive
in a well fitted plug, which will act as
an hydraulic ram and force the tar into
the hot pores Of the wood, which will
become thoroughly creosoted and last
sound for twenty years in place of four,
as in ordinary cases.
A 4inch post may have one hole in
its center; 6-inch, two. side by side; s
inch, three; Pinch, four. Posts which
are already in the ground may be bored
diagonally, filed with hot tar Gin the
dry summer time), plugged up and re-
painted. Sleeper posts for floor joists
should be treated in this manner, and
then their bases surrounded with a cup
Of puddled clay, into which pour hot
coal tar. Posts thus treated cannot de

Does ANY enc carel tor Father?

Does any one care aught for father?
Does any one think of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shoulders
The cares of the family eomes7
The father who strives for your comfort,
And tolls on from day to day,
Although his steps ever grow slower,
And his dark locks are turning gray.
Docs any one think of the due bills
He's called upon to pay
Millinery bills, college bills, book bills1
There are some kind of bills every day,
Like patient horse in a treadmill;
He works on from morn till night,
Does any one think he is tired7
Does anyone make his home bright?
Is it right, because he looks troubled
To say he's cross as bear2
Kind words, little actions and Kindness
Might Danish his burden of care.
IT'S for you he is ever SO anxious;
He will toll for you while he may live,
In return he only asks kindness,
And such pay is easy to give.

Gettysburg and waterloo Compared.

Gettysburg and Waterloo Compared.
AT Gettysburg there were present in
action $4,000 to SIS, 200 Union troops,
and of the Confederates some 5000
At Waterloo there were 120, 900 soldiers
OF the allies under Wellington and
Blucher. and 72, 900 French under Ma
poleon; or, there were about $50. 900
combatants at Gettysburg and about
100, 900 at Waterloo. In each case the
weaker army made the attack and was
defeated. Lee did not have to face
such heavy odds as Napoleon; but,
whereas Napoleon's defeat was a rout
in which he lost all his guns and saw
his soldiers become a disorganized rab-
BILE, Lee drew off his army in good
order, his cannon uncaptured, and the
morale of his formidable soldiers un-
shaken.
The defeated Confederates lost in
killed and wounded Is, $50, and in capt
ured z, 467, some of whom were like
wise wounded, or $4,000 in all. The
defeated French lost from 25, 900 to 80,
000-probably nearer the latter mum
ber, The Confederates thus lost in
killed and wounded at least 25 per cent.
OF their force and yet they preserved
their artillery and their organization,
while the French suffered an even heav-
Ter proportional loss and were turned
into fleeing mob. ob.-Theodore Roose-
