Not to Be BalAcd.

A comparison made by an old car.
penter twenty years ago may be APP
piled in much wider sense than he
had in mind. He was speaking of two
boys. brothers. who had been sent to
him to learn the trade. They were
bright boys. and their father. in telling
the carpenter of his pleasure at their
progress in their work. said he could
not see but one hand had done just as
we'll as the other
"I'm-m.' said the carpenter. Il pre-
sumo to say their work looks about OF
a piece. but III tel you the difference
betwixt those two boys. You give Ed
lust the right tools. and he'll do a real
good job; but Cy. if he hasn't got what
he needs. he'll make his own tools, and
say nothing about it.
IF | was casted on n desert island
and wanted box opened. ! should
know there'd be no use asking Ed to do
it, without I could point him out a
hammer
but Cy" added the old carpenter,
with a snap Of his fingers. THE lack
of hammer wouldn't stump that boy!
He'd have something rugged up and
that box opened, if there was any open
to it! l expect Cy's going to march
ahead of Ed all his life"
Twenty years have proved the truth
of the words, for while the boy who
made his own tools" is rich. his broth
er Is still an ordinary workman.

MILLIONS A YEAR
AMOUNT OF MONEY
LOST BY THE WORKING CLASSES.
An Interview with George v. Hammond,
OF Tacoma. wash Man who
Talks from Experience.

The money lost annually by skilled
workmen OF all occupations figures up
to millions OF dollars and is becoming
greater every year. This amount OF
money represents mainly time lost and
the serious effect upon the social com
fort of the workingmen and their fam
lies is evident. Mr.. George V. Ham
mond, of Tacoma, Wash, said the
other day:
81 have lost my share of time but |
am thankful to say that have not been
losing any OF late
"You don't look as if you had lost
much through sickness"
"No, and | don't feel so. But the
tact remains that | was very sick
man. took cold along in 1889 and
rheumatism settled in my arms and
shoulders. suffered for three years
and nothing relieved me until in April
1892, upon the recommendation of my
sister, began the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and found
relief in the second box. took five
boxes in all and now am entirely cured
and have had no occasion to use them
since"
Mr.. Hammond resides at No. 610
n. Steele street, Tacoma, Wash. and
at the request Of the reporter made afli-
davit to his above statement before
James II. Dege, a notary public, on
July 5, 1901.
There is a popular idea that rheuma-
tism is caused by exposure to cold and
that some localities are infected with
it more than others. Such conditions
frequently promote the development OF
the disease, but, from the fact that
rheumatism runs in certain families
it is shown to be heriditary and, con-
seuuently disease of the blood.
Frequently an individual, in whose
family rheumatism has not occurred,
develops the disease, and when a dag
nosis of the case is made, it is general
~ found that the ailment is due to n
arrangement of the blood.
External applications may afford tenn
porary relief, but to cure the disease it
is necessary to treat it through the
blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People go directly to the seat of the dis
order, Purifying and enriching the
blood by eliminating poisonous ele-
ments and renewing health giving
forces. They are positive specific
not only for rheumatism, but for such
diseases as locOmotor ataXia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus dance, sciatica, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache
the after effects of grip or fevers, and of
other acute diseases, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow compilations and
all forms of weakness, either in male or
female. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are sold by all dealers or
will be sent postpaid on receipt of
price, fifty cents box; six boxes, two
dollars and fifty cents, by addressing
DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, n. Y. Be sure to get the
genuine; substitutes never cured any

LEVELING TENDENCIES.
Members of the English Aristocracy
HIVE Gone into Trade.

Have Gone into Trade.
Americans cannot lay claim to being
the only people who now take the sch
sible view that no man is degraded by
engaging in lawful business. Eng
land is coming round to the same way
of thinking 1t is the aristocrats now
who serve many of the retail buyers
with groceries. vegetables. coal and
other necessaries of life.
Lord Hampden is said to supply the
best cream cheese, and his carts, filed
with all the fresh dairy produce of his
farm in Sussex, so daily Oh their West
End routes.
Lord Londonderry will deliver half
d ton of coal with prOmptness. A grand
son of William Nv. prefers a more retr-
ing method of needing the demands Of
his customers. Through the medium Of
the post he sends out his packets of tea
all over the country.
Among the smaller shOp-owners who
belong to the old aristocratic families
of England is Lord Harrington, who
opened u shop few years ago on his
London property, that he might sell
fruit and vegetables grown at Elvaston
Castle. The late Lord Winchisea was
the pioneer of the fresh vegetable cru
SADIE which started the shop in Long
acre, where all kinds of British farm
produce may be bought at the lowest
prices.
Lord POrtSrOllth has gone into tho
mineral water trade, bottling estab-
lishment for which he has started. The
restaurant business seems in high ia
vor. Mr.. Algy Burke was one of the
first of the upper ten" to put his ener-
gies into the management of restau.
rant He succeeded in making fashion
able the restaurant known as Willis
Rooms. Two other young men of gentle
birth have gone into the hotel business
These are the half-brother of Lord Ire
vor and Mr.. Mostyn. Of the family Of
Lord VauX of Harrowden. They have
opened hotel at a new Watering place.
Although the interest in millinery
shops owned and managed by society
women has somewhat abated. this field
Of trade has found new workers. A man
we'll known in society Is the latest mill
iner He has taken shop In Bond
street, short distance from one over
the door Of which is painted 1.-THE
Countess of Warwick" and under the
name of Camille he successfully carries
on his business.-Youth's Companion.

narly full. rourteen pounds OF coal.
When an engine is in need of II fire"
sometimes four shovefuls will be scat
tered over the surface of the fire. -Four
shovelsfuls of coal weigh tftysiX
pounds, and this quantity placed on the
fire lasts about three minutes when
the engine is III action. In order to
properly consume this amount of coal
10000 cubic feet of air, or eight box
cars full. must pass through the fire in
three minutes to burn the coal so that
it will produce the greatest amount of
heat.
The old theory of engine firing pre-
sumed that the fireman had great
deal of time to sit upon his cab seat
let silk handkerchief tiutter from his
throat and wink ut every pretty farm
er's daughter he saw. This is the new
rule:
at Is doubtful if climbing upon the
seatbUX tor IA short sitting after each
fire is really as restful as some nre-
men imagine. Evidently man does
great deal of extra work when, in
climbing up and down off the seatboX,
he lifts and lowers his body two or
three feet 200 or 800 times Il day"
The popping" of an engine, a sound
extremely offensive to people when the
machine is in Il city. is the blowing off
of surplus steam through the safety
valve. The sound generally indicates
that a poor engineer and an incompe
f,,..,p in, ..lt Of tl1l an
CINE. 1t has been found that the waste
of steam usually when an engine
pops" or blows off surplus steam is
equal to the loss of about eight pounds
of coal-half a shovelful, or at the rate
of a shoveful minute. Safety valves
usually remain open about half a min
ute when they are raised by surplus
pressure, and the loss of heat in the
| escaping steam equals every second
that derived from the burning Il quar-
ter of IA pound of coal.
In II lutte book issued by the Wis
consin Central to its tiremen and EN-
CINE men engineers are particularly in
structed as to the cause of boiler eXplO-
| sions. Both wrought iron and steel
| boiler plates rapidly weaken when
| heated hotter than about 400 degrees.
This is the temperature of steam at
235 pounds pressure. 1t is known that
| there is no weakening of the strength
of the boiler plates at this tempera-
ture; the weakening begins after the
sheet is heated over 400 degrees.
When 1000 degrees hot the strength is
reduced 50 per cent. or four-tifths.
Water covering completely the heating
surface of Il boiler prevents overhead
ing, says the Black Diamond. But
with hot file and bare crown sheet
probably ten or twenty seconds would
give time to heat the metal to a tenn
perature at which its strength would
be weakened enough to give way be-
meath the heavy pressure upon it. for
with 100 pounds working pressure
there is over ten tons of pressure on
each square foot Of the crown sheet.
Most explosions occur this way.

saucily. you talk like a book--a blue

your father will not let us see anyone,
why"
"Griselda!" says Miss Dysart. little
sharply. She rises as she speaks, and
Dysart opens the door for her. AS
Grseda passes him he says. easily:
Il cannot tell you everything ut once,
you see; but dare say there will be time
given me. AS for my father. he is cc-
centric. and. l fear. hard to live with.
But if ever can help you. call on me-"
Griselda gives him IA smile for this. and
follows her sister into the drawing room.
After all, he isn't half bad" she says,
with little nod.
Il was right, however. Did you ever
see father and son so like?" asks Vera,
coldly.

Earl Cadosan's Immense Estate.

Some idea of Earl Cadogan's wealth
may be gathered from the fact that
some 10 or IA years ago he expended a
quarter million pounds on the purchase
of the Culford estate, in Suffolk, and
the rebuilding of the houes. Shortly
after this he presented an extensive site
in Chelsea, known as Blocklands, to the
Guinness trust, for the erection of
workmen's dwellings. 1t is probable
that during the next few years his
wealth will be doubled.

Indian Territory Coal Deposits.

Some idea of the value of the coal
deposits in Indian territory can be
gained when it is known the average
thickness of the vein is four feet, which
will produce 900 tons to the acre.
These lands are leased in lots of 900
acres each, which means that $500, 900
to 1000, 900 tons can be produced by
those leasing the land. On this output
the lessees pay royalty of eight cents
a ton. The output during the last year
was l,900,l27, as against ,400,44
tons the previuos year.

WASTE COAL ON RAILROADS,
1t Is a Big Problem for the Trans

1t Is Big Problem for the Trans
portation Companies.
Excepting wages paid to locomotive
men, the largest single expense in the
operation of the Wisconsin Central
railway is for locomotive fuel, which
costs the company half n million dol
lars yearly. In other words, the com.
pany pays 100000 year for the heat
to make the steam to run Its locomo
tives. This fact among others, has
led the company to issue set Of spe-
men on economy in fuel. The action
is forerunner of similar proceedings
by other Chicago roads.

acter and use-is becoming a most Sc
