The American workman Is declared
to be more alert in action and quicker
In perception than his foreign COM
petitor. The writer asserts, as "a
well-known fact" that in a given
amount of work to be accomplished In
a given time, by an equal number OF
foreign and American workmen, with
equal appliances and facilities, the
American will excel his foreign rival
in the proportion OF almost two to
one. Qualities so essential in the
struggle for mercantile supremacy
should not be overlooked, he thinks,
in estimating the causes which are
contributory to this result.

combining business with pleasure.
He had been apprised that there was a
suspicion of the negro Cartwright being
implicated il the murder Of Jos. Bog
ner and he came down to see the negro.
He visited the Jail, and the cross.exam.
ination which he subjected the oolored
man to was a caution, the latter being
nearly scared out Of his wits. Cart
wright had been in Columbus, but did
not reach there until the next day after
the murder.
Speaking Of Columbus, Mr.. Graham
said it was a busy place and getting
buster all the time. He has forty-two
men and sixteen teams employed at the
stone quarry and this number will
probably bb augpe6ted by many more
the coming spfing aud summer. Mr..
Graham says he has just received word
that the stone quarried by his company
S specified for the new government
postofice buildings to be erected in
Butte aud Helena, which will be two
large contracts.

that he recRntF discovered a spring of
sulphur wat1r near the quarry. which

all arrangements have been completed
for the same on a small scale, which
will be- increased as the demand re.

tered the waiting-room.

calist, getting. ready the necessary tip. But
the man sought for information rather than
tips.
''They tell me you earn heap of money"
he remarked.
"Oh!" murmured Mr.. Reeves.
"And yet" pursued the porter, you don't
work hard. Not so hard as I do, for in

The mileage of the blood circula-
ton reveals some astonishing facts in
our personal history. Thus it has
been calculated that, assuming the
heart to beat SO times minute at
ordinary heart pressure, the blood
goes at the rate of 2O7 yards in the
minute, or seven miles per hour, 1853
miles per day and $3.50 miles per
