WATERFORD.

The patriotic spirit in district No. Z,
taught by Adele Blodgett, was convin-
cingly shown to the public last Friday
afternoon not olny by the school but by
all the people of the district, and flag Of
our country was left to wave over the
schoolhouse as remembrance of their
true loyalty and love of country. In
spite Of the rainy day, about 80 were
present to participate in their thoroughly
aroused spirit of patriotism. The school
room was prettily trimmed with ever
green and apple blossoms and draped
with red, white and blue. After prayer
the children did great credit to themselves
by rendering very periodically an inter-
esting programme consisting of recitati-
ons and music, after which remarks were
made by Judge Hastings, Chas. Ross and
E. E. Hovey. Judge Smith OF St. Johns
bury told the children of what true
loyalty consisted and how it should be
formed by them in early life. After the
exercises refreshments were served.

Machinery widens Employment.

Machinery has widened employment
most effectively by stimulating the
growth of new industries, and we ought
not to underestimate it's effect in this
direction, since it has an important
bearing on the general question. I'm
provements in printing presses had a
direct effect in extending the use Of
books and newspapers, and, therefore,
in expanding the paper and printing in
dustries. The development of railways,
steam and electrical, in themselves
simply the substitution Of travel and
carriage by machine for the old methods
by horse and foot, has given employ
ment to thousands where hundreds were
employed before.
The invention Of the typewriter has
practically destroyed the profession Of
pen copying, but many more persons
now find employment through the wide
ly extended use Of the machine. The
application of electricity in the tele-
graph and telephone and in numerous
other directions requiring complex me-
chanioal appliances has in recent years
created industries that previously had
no existence Prior to 1880 the manu-
facture Of electrical apparatus and ap-
pliances was not Of sufficient impor-
lance to be separately presented in the
census reports. In that year the average
number Of employees engaged in the in
dustry was but 1871, rising in 1890 to
8,802.
The development Of photolithography
has almost superseded the old processes
Of block engraving, but in photography,
photolithography and photoengraving
as distinct branches there were more
than 5000 persons employed at the
date of the latest nsus.-Donahoe's
