A QUEER
Why the Cost of Two Engines Precise
ly Alike Was Not Equal.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
81 saw two beautiful engines recently"
said a ~well-known machinery man, that
were perfect twins in every particular ex-
cept one-there was a difference of about
$500 in their cost. In design, finish, size,
weight, power and every mechanical detail
they were as like as two peas, and. as a
matter OF fact, they were from duplicate
patterns, built in the same works, at the
same time. The variation in price was due
to a curious business principle Of the firm
OF builders, which, by the way, is one OF
the largest and wealthiest concerns in the
country. The establishment never under
takes to construct al engine for a fixed
sum of money. When it executes an order
a careful account is kept of every item of
expense-the cost of material, the pay of
the men, the wear and tear of the tools.
and anything else that contributes to the
outlay. Then a fixed percentage is added
for profit, the figure footed up and a bill
rendered for the sum total. Now, anybody
who has ever had any experience with ma
chinists and machine building" continued
the speaker, knows perfectly well that no
two men can accomplish exactly the same
results. They will have their good days
and their bad days, and unavoidable acct
dents, delays and breakages will sometimes
make a difference of hundreds of dollars
on identical jobs. AS far as / know, all
firms except the one l am talking about
have a scale of averages on which they
base their charges, and, while they oc-
caslonally lose on some particularly un-
lucky piece of work, they make ii up on
the next But this house has always stuck
TO the old-fashioned, primitive system of
charging the actual outlay plus a fixed
profit, and it enjoys such a reputation for
fair dealing that its figures are never ques-
toned. Exactly what percentage repre-
sents the profit, I am unable to say. I have
heard II stated at all the way from s TO
IS; but. whatever 1T is. il never changes
and is exactly the same for big Jobs and
small Good. comfortable way of doing
business, eh?"

In ringworm of the scalp the hair shcnld
be kept shaved from the entire scalp until
