cute. The present organization Of In.
dustry tends toward specialization. An
old.time shoemaker would be lost in
one of Our modern factories where
shoe passes through forty.four differ
ent hands. Perhaps few OF the en-
ployes could make shoe unnided, as
he could; but I'm his own line Of work
a laster. n stitcher. or any one Of tho
forty.four could beat the old shoe
maker ito a standstill." Yet a "spe-
cialist" in any industry Is liable to
grow narrow and get into rut. It ID
important to note that the high-salar.
led irOnmasters Of whom we have
spoken are men who stopped short Of
this danger point and brOadened out.
The fact that certain thing had nj.
ways been done III a certain way did
not prove to them that that was the
best way, and they earned their salar.

young man mt machine grows dlssat.
isficd with his wages, the thing for him
to do IL not to strike but to study. II
he has the capacity to understand and
improve upon the processes that go to
the completion of any manufactured
product, It Is In his own power to rise
to a plane where he can call the rich
mine-manager brother.

America has become the great fruit
country Of the world. In no other
country In the temperate zone Is there
so much fruit eaten by the people as In
the United States. Oranges. lemons,
straw berries, peaches, apples-all kinds
OF fruits, In fact-are grown In the
United States. from those of trOplc or
semitropic character In Florida. Texas
and California to the apples, blueber-
, ries and cranberrles of the northern
States. 1t IL computed that the straw
berry crop alone Is worth SSO.OOO,OOO,
while the grapes of the United States
probably bring $1OO.OOO.O0O. When 1t
comes to peaches ana apples II Is al
most impossible 10 estimate the yield
or the value of these two great crops
Of delicious, wholesome fruit. There
are orchards In the United States con-
tanning rs many as 100000 peach trees,
while the apple crop Is ordinarily con-
sidcrably above 2OO,OOO,OOO barrels, Of
which 100000 barrels 90 to Europe
every year. Iowa, Illinois. Ohio and
New York especially are great apple.

England Is wrestling with the prob
lem what to do with the juvenile Of
fender. The summary Jurisdiction act
passed year or SO ago Is generally re-
garded as step In the right direction,
and In Its provisions Is much like the
juvenile court Chicago has established.
The new act simply substituted court
Of summary Jurisdiction for the Ordi.
nary trial by jury Previous to Its
adoption judges could be brought down
from London to try cases relating only
to few shillings, petty larcenies and
the like by juvenile offenders. BY the
previous act of 1870 the court was en-.
abled to deal summarily with young
offenders by consent of the latter The
principle Is now extended to include
almost all classes of cases except hOmi-
eide. Commenting upon the new law
at the time Of Its adoption the London
Times remarked editOrially: "Gener-
ally we can trace his 0he juvenile Of
fender's) first fault to the breaking up
or weakening Of the family life. to the
absence of kindly feeling and whole
some discipline at home. 1t Is the
view of many persons. and no better
Is put before us, that II he Is to be
mended he must have as nearly as pos
: sible circumstances akin to those
which 1t was his misfortune to lose or
never have. Perhaps It Is the highest
: flight of legislative wisdom to try to
give the young delinquent some substi-
tute-pOOr at best, and with all the de-
fects of an artificial incubatOr-fOr a
mother who does her duty and q
father who knows his place."
