How Mr.. Chamberlain Works.

A glance at Mr.. Chamberlain's room in
the colonial office will reveal part of the
secret of his power Of getting through
work. There IL nothing superfiuous, moth
ing out of place; and every morning when
he comes to business his desk is absolute
ly clear. There Is not q paper in the
room. Mr.. Chamberlain works in large
room, looking on the great quadrangle
round which are built the foreign, colon
ial, home and Indian Offices. He often
lunches In his room when too occupied
to go to his club the .Athenaeum. Sit
ting at his large desk AT the further end
of the room, he has accorded interviews
to men Of all nationalities and all colors.
Mr.. Chamberlain's morning at the colon
ial Office is taken up In dealing with a
great mass of papers. In addition, he
has to give verbal instructions to his
subordinates and to see large number
of important people. In the afternoon he
has to go down to the house of commons
he must attend daily to answer questions
besides transacting general parliamenta-
ry business. To his private room In the
house Of commons papers follow him in
boxes, labeled with slips of paper, red,
green, or white, according to the urgency
of their contents. Nor Is the days work
ended there At midnight, when he goes
home, he finds papers at his private
house; and even when he is away from
London they arrive with regularity by
post or by special messenger. In fact. Mr..
Chamberlain cannot escape them unless
he were to disappear altogether.--New

The influence OF the imagination is a
factor with which physicians have to
reckon very largely, and In the minor
ailments of life, at any rate, the most
successful practitioner is he who pos
sesses the faculty of inspiring confidence
In himself to begin with, and then In the
treatment he advises. A recent number
of the Psychological Review relates an
interesting experiment made by Mr.. Slos-
son with the view of demonstrating how
easily this faculty can be called into play
In the course of popular lecture he pre-
sented to his audience a bottle contain
ing distilled water, which hess uncorked
with elaborate precautions, and then
watch in hand, he asked those present
to Indicate, the exact moment at which
the peculiar odor was perceived by them
Within fifteen seconds those in front of
him held UP their hands. and within
forty seconds those at the other end of
the room declared that they distinctly
perceived the odor. There was an OBJ
stinate minority, largely composed Of
men, who stoutly declared their inability
to detect any odor, but Mr.. Slosson be-
lieves that many more would have given
in had he not been compelled to bring
the experiment to close within a minute
of opening the BOTTLE several persons in
the front rank finding the odor SO power
full that they hastily quilted the lecture
room. 1t would have been interesting
to know the attitude of the audience on
learning the liberty that had been taken
with their imaginations. but on this point.
unfortunately, the report is sient.--Medi-
cal Press.

An old friend met us. He first showed us
a black spot far up on the shore, then
, drifted gradually down upon set p.nions,
lacking in and out like a yacht working
swindward. II happened he was slant
ing shoreward when he passed, and at
forty yards his snowy head and tail, and
broad, brown fans showed to fine advant-
age. We could see the polished yellow
of his hooked bill and the fierce flash of
his marvellous golden telescope eye a he
turned it upon us and then back to his tire
less searching of the water and the wave
line along the shore. For years this eagle,
noary old beach comber as he is, has pa
trolled the shore daily for miles, seeking
what the waters have cast up. for be 1t
known he Is NOT above carrion. Many a
dead fish and lost bird he gets for his
trouble OF picking them up but he can
hunt, too, when he feels so disposed. Sea-
son after season he and his mate have
patched the old nest and reared the eagles
In peace. p No one can climb the tree, and
no decent man would shoot at the birds.
Should you visit the foot of the tree your
nose will be assailed by a most objection
able odor, and your naturally brief inspec-
ton will convince you that the eagles do
hunt mere than they are given credit for.
Everyw here are fragments of fish, while
among them are wings and tails which
must have belonged TO grouse, portions Of
hares and other fragments suspiciously
like certain parts Of lambs, sucking pigs
and domestic fowls. But they were not
cur lambs, pigs or fowls. and so no shot
whistles after the old pirate. who seems
to understand that he Is free TO buccaneer

MACHINES INSTEAD OF HANDS.
Economy OF Reducing Manual Labor
to the Minimum.

Economy OF Reducing Manual Labor
to the Minimum.
1t Is through the steady growth Of ma
chinery employment and the reduction OF
manual labor to q minimum that some Of
the most telling economies In iron and
steel works. in engineering shops, and In
mining operations have. in recent years.
been effected, and in this respect Euro
pean and American enterprise have
profited to most remarkable degrees and
have supplied experience which now is
being taken at its proper worth In Great
Britain as well. AT meeting a short
time ago of the Staffordshire Institute Of
Iron and Steel Managers. the president
Mr.. III. LIE Neve Foster, urged the Inn
portance OF following the American prac-
tice OF adopting mechanical methods to
the fullest possible extent, and stated as
a sample OF what Is already being done
In this direction that pig iron casting ma
chimes are now being employed at some
of the north Of England blast furnaces
with saving of something like I'd per ton,
and that pig breaking machines have been
put into service with equally successful
results. A saving of I'd per ton on the
pig iron produced throughout Great Brit
ain last year would mean an economy Of
$4,000. At Messrs. Bolckow Vaughan &
Co.'S works tipping gear which has been
erected in the steel blooming mills had re-
dueed the cost OF labor from Is I'd down TO
I'd per ton on an output in one mill of 500 OR
600 tons per turn of twelve hours. Thus the
capital outlay was quickly paid over and
over again. An illustration of the import
ance of further mechanical applications to
the mining and quarrying Industries 1t
was mentioned that A reduction of only Id
per ton in the cost Of limestone quarricd
last year would have represented a saving
Of 100000 and similar reduction on the

CLANS and Germans have been quite as
keenly alive as Americans to the import
ance of economies such as these In their
own domains and have accordingly helped
to set a pace which the British works
proprietor and manager must follow so as
to ward off that destructive foreign COM
petition of which so much has been said
and written for several years past.-Cas.
