The skin and I,e,npersofa Builder

Queer and racy are the tales told OF the
skill of the Maine shipbuilders in the use
of the adze and broadaX. One old time
yarn is of n carpenter who applied very
drunk at IA shipyard for employment. In
order to have a little fun with him, the
foreman set him to give proof of his skill
bv hewing out a wooden bolt with no chop
ping block but Il stone. The carpenter &C
complished his difficult task without mar
ring the keen edge of the broadaX ana
showed the foreman a neatly made bolt.
Then he brought the az down with ter
rife blow that shattered its edge upon the
stone. Il can hew fust rate on your chop
ping block he hiccoughed, but III be
blamed if | can make the AK stick in it
when I git through" The story runs that
the foreman lost no time in employing such
a workman.-New York Sun.

Philips brooks. Choice of a Profession.

A story is widely quoted that Phillips
Brooks, when about to graduate. went to
the president of Harvard college for advice
regarding the choice of profession, and
that the president said: 1T is well in such
a case to lay aside impossible professions.
Now, on account of the impediment in
your speech, you could never preach"
This is so good a story that it is pity to
spoil it, but after the election of Mr.. Brooks
as bishop he was asked about its truth
81 did consult with the president" he an
swered, land he encouraged me to choose
the ministry. He did not tell me I could
not preach because of my stammering, be-
cause never did stammer, you know!'
Then he spoke, with some amusement, of
the permanence of such groundless reports,
and said that he had that very week re-
ceived a letter from an English boy who
was stammerer. and who begged to know,
for his own sake, how DR.. Brooks had been
cured.
II shall have to tell him that can't help
him at alli'' he concluded, with a touch of
regret.-Christian Union.

What the Clienist'i'ocs i'oT tie Farmer
Only short time ago >thc summer Of
$500 two fertilizers were suddenly placed
upon the Indiana market and sold for
SCI 80 and $3.50 per ton, respectively.
These were analysed 10y the state chemist,
and the former was found to have value
of 1916 and the latter of S4.44 per ton.
These were out and out swindles, yet had
it not been for prompt publication from
the state experiment station at Purdue
university as to their real character, many
farmers of the state of Indiana would have
been numerically swindled
In view of the fact that millions of dol
lars worth of fertilizers are sold yearly. in
the United States one can readily under
stand how great is the sum of money that
is being yearly saved to the farmers of the
country through the interposition of the
chemist.-Professor Charles S. Plumb in
Popular Science Monthly.

down is worse. And, after
all the disturbance, there's
only a little temporary good.

they do their work so easily
