Labor-Saying Machinery.

There has been great deal of anxiety
and many objections raised regarding the
employment of labor. saving machinery,
coupled with the fear that machine work
would deprive the poor working man OF
the opportunities of manual labor and
subsistence. The same fear extends to
the increased employment of females,
who fill positions previously occupied by
men. The fear in either case is probably
much overdrawn, if not altogether
groundless
1t will Be remembered that upon the
Introduction of the sewing machine many
poor needlewomen almost gave up in
despair, thinking that surely their occu-
patton stared them in the face. Sewing
machines rapidly multiplied, and 80 did
weman's labor in needle work, and there
are more women to day than ever before
employed in that branch of domestic
art.
The same is true regarding the multi
plicity of farming implements and agri-
cultural machinery. During war times
the country could not have been main
tanned without the facilities for farm
work machinery afforded. As machinery
became perfected in this and all lines,
the demand grew and rapidly multiplied,
and the scarcity of male help was not felt
in consequence.
At first farmers and laborers wanted to
destroy the machines that they foolishly
fancied we're only robbing them of their
bread, but the tide soon turned in their
favor. Crops increased in quantity,
quality and value. Demand increased
prorortionately, and labor WAS again at
premium. The female type. e.writers and
typs settlers and the type casting ma
chimes were eye.sores to male writers and
compositors, who fancied thatthey would
be thrown out OF employment; but that
matter is fast regulating itself. The
march of progress, once truly started, is
forward and not backward. The world
is wide, and new fields are opened up or
old ones enlarged to accommodate all
who are willing to work.
Some people are everlastingly LOOKING
for a job, and such generally fear that
they may happen to find one, with no
good excuse to prevent them taking it.
The willing poor need scarcely fear, If
they are worthy, since the same wind
that is tempered to the shorn lamb is
tempered for them, and it is an i'll wind
indeed that blows no good. Behold
America, with her inventions and conse-
quent progress, power and wealth Con-
trsst our condition as nation with that
of China, where inventions of labor
saving character have been barred out by
their government, lest the poor be robbed
of means of support. The one progress
ing to light and prosperity, the other
retrograding to the dark ages and fast
becoming dying race. Thus is the
story of this phase Of the labor problem
told in q nutshell.-DetrOI Herald o.

The First Printed Book.

1t is remarkable as well as most in
terestiug fact that the very first use to
which the discovery of printing was ap'
piled was in the production of the Bible.
This work was accomplished at Mentz,
sometime between the year 144O and 1445
by Guttenburg, the inventor of the art,
and one Faust, goldsmith, who furnish
ed the funds necessary to carry on the
work. If this first attempt at printing had
been but single page there would be
less occasion to marvel at it's production
but when it. is known that the work was
sent on, in so folia volumes, on paper of
great strength, 6ueness Of texture ard
real beauty, in ink that still holds its lus'

The Whole Truth.

A minister who was witness in case
before court had administered to him
the USUAL oath, "You do solemnly swea'
that, in the case now pending, you will
tell the truth, the whole truth, and moth.
ing but the truth. So help you God."
He happened to know some things
about the case which neither side of the
case wanted told In court. The witness,
however, intended to tell all he knew.
The lawyers began to object to his max
ing certain statements, saying they did
not wish to hear anything except what
they asked him about. He appealed to
the Judge, and the judge said he should
not tell anything to which the lawyer
objected. Your honor, didn't you make
ms swear I'd tell the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help me God ?
You made me swear it, and I'll tell It."
"And with that he jumped to his feet,
and turning 10 the jury, commenced to
rattle it of to them and despite all the
efforts of two lawyers to stop him, be told
it all; snd then turning to the judge, he
said : "Now your honor, I've told it.
Now put me in Jail if you like. But
hereafter, if you don't want me 10 tell
the whole truth, don't you make nae
swear that I will"
Judges and lawyers were 8 good deal
amazed but the honest man wasn't sent
to jail. And the judge after the court
adjourned, said to a friend: That man
taught me lesson to day that 1 had not
learned in all my forty years. experience
on the bench; and now ! very seriously
question if it is right to swear men that
they will tell the whole truth, and then
allow lawyers to prevent them from tell
ing it.
Who that has sat in Court Eeom and
watched the lawyers in their attempts to
prevent witnesses telling the simple
truth, and endesvoring to confuse and
break down honest men, and too often
succeeding, has not felt that there ought
to be some way of protecting witnesses,
and giving them chance to tell exactly
what they know, and the whole of it.

The Welcoming Hand.

Some twenty years ago q yaung man
came, complete stranger, to this city.
On Sabbath morning he went out to find
Church in which to worship. he went
to ona and looked in. 1t seemed unin-
viting. No one welcomed him. He
went on and came to another. As he
looked in be saw, first of all, a hand e1.
tended in greeting. The hand grasped
his warmly and cordially. he was fairly
drawn in and shown to good pew. He
was invited to come again. He decided
to mike it his Church home. he was
memoer Of that Church for years, found
his'wife there, and for many years has
been 10 one of the Churches of our COM
muntty useful and faithful Office bearer.
He reyer forgets his kindly greeting on
the first day he attended worship in this
city, and never ceases to bear witness to
the cordiality and kindness OF the
Church and the man who we're back OF
the hand that grasped his that morning
in welcome.
But on another day, about the same
time, another young man came to that
samo Church. The hand was not in the
vestibule that morning. Perhaps its
ownsr was sick. Probably it had just
started up one of the aisles with stran.
ger. At any rate, it was not at the door
to g.eet this young man. He started up
an aisle timidly and took his seat in
convenient pew. Here he sat in uncer-
tainty and loneliness. Soon gentleman
and his family came to the pew, and the
youag man understood that he was invit'
ed to vacate his seat. This he did hur
riedly, and hastened out of the Church.
If any one was ready and anxious to offer
him seat in another pew, he did not
know it. He only smarled under the
sense that he had gotten into pew
whore he was not welcomed. He felt
thas he would never go back again to
that Church. In some way or other
deep wound was made on him from which
1t proved very hard for him to recover.
Z man with great heart and warm
hand may do great deal for any
Charch., he may attract many people
and make them glad to be members Of
the congregation. He may supplement
the labors of his pastor so as to most
nightly help build up the Church. At
tho same time man with small hesrt
msy do much to repel strangers and to
neutralize the efforts of pastor and peo'
pie. The best way and the only sure
way for the upbuilding of any Church is
fol each member, of the Church to be the
possesor of great heart and warm
hand. Then every one within reach will
realize that he is wanted that welcome
awaits him in that particular Church
that he will lie made glad if he goes.
From such welcomes and such Churches
20 out men and women to carry the
great heart and the warm hand to other
places of service. We can make great
mistakes in the way of being too rigid
ard too reserved. We can scarcely BY
ary possibility make mistake through
excess of kindness and loving concern
for others.-HeraM and Presbyter.

A Fable for Fathers

He was the son offs worthy citizen, anu
had Just returned from college. His
father WAS a brusque, matter-ot-tact man
who had no liking for anything pronoun-
ced, and he noticed with sorrow that hla
sop returned with the latest thing in col
lars, and various other insignia of dude
dom. The old gentleman surveyed him
critically when he appeared in bis office
and then blurted out: "Young man, you
look like an idiot"
Just at that moment, and before the
young man had time to make 8 lifting
reply, friend walked in.
"Why, hello, Billy, have you return
ed ?" be asked. "Dear me, how much you
resemble your father"
$50 he has been telling me-" replied
Billy.
And from that day to this the old gen.

CHARGED TO STRIKERS.
Hull, Eng, the Scene of Disastrous Con-
fIarpo+-inn

lldSFdGlUll,
LONDON, April 23.-Ten acres Of tim
Der at the Victoria dock, in Hull, are
ablaze. The loss will be more than
100000 The fire is supposed to have
been started by striking lockers.
The fire is extending from the timber
yards and threatens to destroy the
warehouses near by. The Citadel hotel
has been burned Ali the telegraph
wires in the district are down and the
railway irons have been melted.
Marines and sailors from the two gun
boats anchored in the roads are helping
the firemen. The timber yard in which
the fire was set is owned by the Wade
Company, which employees nOn-union
men.
The police in Hull arrested drunken
decker last evening between u and II
O'Clock. A mob of strikers stopped
them on their way to the station. The
police fought them off and sent for re-
Inducements. The numbers of the
strikers swelled rapidly. When the
police reinforcements arrived more
than 1900 men had gathered, armed
with stones, clubs and a few re-
volvers. The police drew their
batOns and, clubbing right and left,
divided the mobs so that the three
officers with their prisoner could pro-
ceed to the station The rioters ranks
kept swelling until there was such a
mob that the police had to call for more
reinforcements. \ terrible riot then
took place. Windows were smashed
and doors battered down, and the fight
ing continued until we'll into the morn
ing when the police succeeded in dis
persing the mob.
\ large part of the crowd of spectators
made no concealment of their delight at
the progress of the fire They threw
stones and other missiles at the soldiers
and police who were helping the fire
men eXtinguish the flames. Some went
SO far as to cut hose pipe. At last re-
ports a detachment of dragons protect
ed those who were fighting the fire
Sparks flew in showers as far as half a
mile from the scene of the fire, causing
great anxiety to the proprietors of
the neighboring oil mills. The Wade
Company, proprietors of the burned
timber yard, had headed the signers of
the circular, giving notice to striking
deal carriers that unless they resumed
work their places would be filled by
other men. All of the company's tim
Der was consumed by the fire Much
other timber is threatened with de-
struction. The value of the timber and
other property now in danger is 81 ,OOO,-
600. Three other fires were started by
incendiaries in Hull this evening. All
were discovered before they got head
way and were eXtinguished.
1t transpires tonight that the dele
gates from twenty or twenty-five labor
unions in London and the provinces
who met in this city last eve ming re-
solved that a general strike of water
side workers in Great Britain would be
inadvisable at present.

Former Wisconsin Woman Seeks a Pen
sion and Finds Her Husband.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., April 22.-Seven-
teen years ago Emanuel Beck left his
wife and family in Yankton and went to
the Black Hills. They never heard
from him again, and, as he was reported
dead, made no effort to find him.
He was married to the wife,
whom he has since deserted, in Ligo-
nier, Westmoreland County, Pa, in
1915, and with her removed to Wiscon-
sin prior to the war of the rebellion.
Here he enlisted as a private in Co B,
Thirty-third Regiment, Wisconsin Vol
unteer Infantry, serving three years.
After the war he and his family re-
moved to Dakota. Many years ago
Mrs. Beck, believing herself a widow,
applied for pension. Before doing so,
however, her attorney wrote to the pen
sion office asking if Emanuel Beck was
on the pension roll. A mega
tive reply having been re-
ceived, Mrs. Beck at once set
about procuring testimony in support of
her claim, and had, as was supposed,
established it, when the other day she
was surprised to receive notice that her
claim was rejected on the ground that
her husband was alive, his post-office adj
dress being Montrose, Col. The news
so unexpectedly obtained will result in
the family being once more united.

business portion of the town suffered in
some way. Only two persons as vet
have died from injuries received, Mr..

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 1S.-News
was received to-day Of a fearful cyclone
in Fourche Valley, Scott County The
town of Boles was almost entirely de
stroyed. Seven persons were killed and
a large number injured. The path of the
storm was half mile in width and ev
erything was swept before the storm.
Up to o'clock Wednesday morning
nothing further has been learned of the

to be without foundation. A heavy

Tennessee Adopts Plan for Issuing
"Shinplaster'' Currency.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 22.-An
act was passed by the legislature of
Tennessee, and since approved by the
governor, giving authority to state banks
to issue a circulating medium. The
act required a deposit of United States,
state Of Tennessee or county
bonds, and the currency will be
issued for the bank on these securities
not in excess Of 90 per cent. of their
market value. The act limits currency
to be issued by the state to $25 100000.
Periodical examinations Of banks, re-
demption of currency and other fea-
lures Of the national banking law are
adhered to- The banks must re-
deem their circulating notes on
demand in gold or silver. No
county bonds will be accepted where
the Indebtedness Of the county exceeds
5 per cent. of the taxable property,
and if the county has defaulted any
time in years prior on it's interest the
circulating medium is to be signed by
the president and cashier Of the bank
and countersigned by the state comp
