Origin of StOnehenge.

Stonehenge, one CT the most remark
able examples of the ancient stone
circles, is situated in Salisbury Plain,
Wiltshire, England, about seven miles
north of Salisbury. Stone is first men
toned by Nennius in the ninth CEN
tury, who asserts that it was erected
in commemoration Of the 400 mobiles
who were treacherously slain near the
spot by Hengist in 472. A similar ac-
count of it's origin is given in the trials
of the Welsh bards, where its cree
ton is attributed to King Merlin, the
successor of Vortigern. lingo Jones,
in his work on Stonehcgne, published
in 1866. endeavors to prove that it was

FOR A NEGRO BUILDING.

Opportunity at st. Louis for an Eneo-
tive Exhibit.
The suggestion of negro building at
the St. Louis exposition is one of emf
nent appropriateness. The exposition
itself will be the first of it's scope COM
pairing with the Chicago worlds fair.
1t will commemorate the purchase Of
territory including states which were
the distinctive home of the American
negro. And while the matter of geog-
raphy is purely incidental, and while
the exposition will not belong to the
north or south, the East or West, there
is something in the situation which
makes it peculiarly the first chance the
negro has had to show what he has
done during the past third Of GEN.
fury. He has made marvellous advances
in that short space Of time. He should
be judged not by the heights to which
he has climbed, but by the depths from
which he started. The showing that he
could make at this time would be one
of not merely great chronological inter-
est, but of special value in relation to
the solution of the race problem. The
problem is one which is unique in his
tory, and anything which throws light
upon it is to be encouraged. There Is
special fitness in the suggestion that
all the work in connection with the
building should be done by negroes and
that the entire management of the me-
gro exhibit be placed in charge of
members of that race. A building de-
signed by negro architects, erected by
negro workmen and containing COM
prehensive and intelligent exposition
of the life of the race in America would
be in many respects one Of the most
interesting features Of the entire fair.
There is plenty of talent and material
to be used for such a display, and the
task would be taken up with an enthu-
siasm which would give a tremendous
impetus to negro progress. This in it
self would be one of the most import
ant considerations. 1t would have all
influence which would be felt many
years after the exposition was men,
CRY, possibly the greatest which has
ever been exerted upon the negro race
in this country. City Journal.

opponents are bound to admit that it
is daily gaining ground, and that 1t is
now one of the most important factors
in the labor movement. We quote the
following letter to show the ever-in-
creasing demand for the label: I'VE
desire to inquire as to what we must
do to be able to use the union label on
work done in this office. We can do
more work here in the mining country
If we use the label on our printing,
but the town is not union town,
neither is it large enough to organize
separate union. Please let us hear
from you at once as regards this mat
ter. While the town is not union, we
are heartily in accord with the union,
and believe we pay union wages just
the same. The only union printer in
the town works in this office" The
letter comes from a small town in the
west, and is fair sample of the many
of its kind that are continually being
received at this Office from all parts

servants. 1t is wonderful what the
little clicking machines are capable Of
accomplishing and the variety to be
found in this immense building. There
are hundreds of duplex machines, which
signal two messages at the same time
over one wire in opposite directions.
More wonderful still is the multipleS
machine. by which a clerk can dis
patch six messages at the same time
in different directions. For rapid
working the Wheat-stone apparatus is
called into play, whereby speed Of
$50 words a minute can be obtained;
indeed, the instrument has a record
of 600 words a minute. When any
thing important occurs the Central
Telegraph Office is exceedingly busy
sending reports across its numerous
wires. Often as many as 100000 words
are dispatched in the early hours Of
the morning of famous parliament
tary speech. When Mr.. Gladstone in
troduced his Home rule bill, in 1886.
over 100000 words were dispatched
over the wires from the head Office.

Manufacturing in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts, is one Of the States

usual value from their thoroughness
and completeness. The figures for
manufac surfing industries for 1900 re-
late to 4,645 industrial establishments.
OF these only 1888 per cent. are con-
trolled by trusts, so more than 80 per
cent. OF the plants still maintain their
independence and are managed by in
dividual enterprise. This calls atten-
ton to the fact that the staple in

greater part Of New England have not

The brain of a great man remains in
fine working order long after his
hands, directed by that brain, have lost
their dizziness. That is one of the
curious things Of life. There are plenty
of instances of men who have reached
the allotted age of life continuing in
the activities of the world as long as
those activities are of the brain ana
not of the hand. But the mechanics
highest skill is shown when he is be-
tween the ages of 80 and 40. After the
latter age his hand loses it's cunning.
but IL his brain has been taught to
work he can continue to labor and may
even surpass the earning power of his
hand. After 40 the muscles do not re-
spond nearly as certainly and readily
to the orders and the willingness of
the brain, and a mans handwork be-
gins to fall off in its earning capacity
Yet in the case of the brain 1t is only
after 40 that it really begins its best
work-the work that endures and is
called famous long after the man has
ceased to be. A good instance of the
early death of manual activity is seen
In the button trade. A skillful button
maker in his prime, between 30 and 40
years of age, can make $11 or $12
week, being in ivory an output each
day on his lathe of 6,24O buttons.
When he gets to be As years old If he
can make Sc or 81 week he is lucky,
while twenty years later. even If he
still enjoys sound health and facul-
ties, all he can make is IS week. In
this trade, of course, one hand Is used
principally. In farming or seafaring.
or in some other vocations in which
the energy of the muscles is distributed
equally over the body, the physical ac-
tivity does not dwindle as soon, and.
sometimes in these cases Of equal de-
velopment and use Of the muscles the
physical being outlasts the mental. but
