The Value of Minutes,

A party of ladies and gentlemen were
lately visiting large carpet manufactory
and the manager took them over the diff
ferent floors of the establishments. on
ascending one of the staircaseS they
came to locked door, on which the fol-
lowing inscription was painted in white
letters:
''Strfngors not admitted under any
circumstances.
The curiosity of the ladies was excited
to high PITCH and they inquired, al
most in one breath, Whatever is to be
seen inside? F"
THAT is one of our workrooms. in
which 100 women are employed in en-
broidering carpets" answered the mana
ger.
"Oh how we should Just like to have a
peep at them ~ exclaimed the ladies'.
lam sorry cannot comply with your
wish," said the gentleman, with a shrur
of his shoulders, ''but our rules do not
admit of the slightest exception Truth
to say. there is nothing special to be seen.
nor Is there any question of trade secrets.
The reason why admission is forbidden
TO strangers is simply because every
woman naturally looks up, and her at
tention is distracted from her work for
from one to five minutes. Supposinu.
now, each woman wastes a couple of
minutes III this way, that will make. in
the case of l50 women, a loss to the firm
OF 800 minutes. or fivo hours, and we-cau-
not allow that. blad

Repofts from all portions OF the State
show the rains of October to have been
more beneficial TO the grain-growers and
stcckmen than any damage reported TO
the raisin and fruit industry. The warm
weather following tho rains have kept oil
the frost and rapidly pushed forward the
growth of vegetation.

WASTE OF FOOD BY AMERICANS
People From Europe Astonished b,
Our Careless Table Methods

People From Europe Astonished by
Our Careless Table Methods.
An English health journal expresses
great surprise at the quantity OF food
eaten by American against English la
Dorers. 1t is very curious TO see how tii;-
lerent foods prcponderate in different
industries. The textile worker III
Europe viii have ninety-iive pounds of
meat per annum Tor every 100 units OF
consumption, or, say, quarter of a
pouHd OF meat day, while steel work
ers indulge i'll ia pounds Tor
every 100 units. On tho other
hand, the weaver consumes more
nour than the steel worker-Z75 pounds
per 100 units, instead OF 20S pounds. lie
also taxes about s9venty-one pounds of
sugar more per loo units. anu IL dozen
more eggs; or butter, lard and tea 10th
take ABOUT the same, though both in tea
ana coIee the weaver Il little exceeds the
other. That is, in tho calling which de-
mandS the greater muscular exeriion Il
greater amount OF heterogeneous food is
required.
ON the European continent the con-
sumption OF meat by workers is much
less than i'll Britain. Even IN the iron
industry the German Is littlo more eX-
traVagant than the English weaver, while
inc ffenchInan consumes only 574 pounds
and the Belgian 554 pounds. On
eiiN Othoi HdIi, tlC IaLlor consumes more
Hour ana eggs, more than twice as
much OF each. Their consumption of
coffee, too. is largo-fourteen pounds
ana nineteen pounds respectively, to
the Engiishnau'S three and one-haIf
pounds; but IL must also be taken in the
reckoning that tea does not appear in
their accounts. But ali these figures pale
before the statistics Of food consumption
in America.
The illinois iron-worker manages to
consume 393 pounds OF meat per 100
units, and though this is excessive, 4O5I
pounds are put down as the average OF
Pennsylvania, 1917 pounds for Ohio,
1871 pounds for " est Virginia and l55
pounds for Tennessee. The average
consumption OF flour for the States is
about 80 pounds, but voraclous Illinois
again comes 10 the fore with 3G0 pounds,
anu sugar, butter and eggs are every where
more lavishly used than in Europe.
Here, as in Europe, iron and steel In
dustries are found 10 DO more self-in-
dulgent than any other trades, but the
expenditure mere is far above that of
even the most eXtrayagant work
ers OF Europe. Much of the food ac-
counted 1or In these figures is actually
consumed, but a large margin must be
allowed for what is Wantonly DESTROYED.
and when the history of the waste OF
food products in the United States comes
