MEN or GERMANY AND AMERICA,


Two Countries.
In Germany 1t may be said that the
tendency Is to make better workmen;
in America and England the tendency
is to make better men. The Anglo
Saxon policy Is to cast the bantling
on the rock and let him work out his
own salvation through temptation. In
Germany the policy is quite the re-
verse; the workman Is protected from
disciplining temptation and ruled in q
thousand ways by the government in
stead OF being allowed to rule himself.
American discipline is from within,
German from without.
The German workman Is without
hope even in religion. for IL Is rare
that a German workman Is ever seen
in church after confirmation; there is
little or no chance for him to rise.
he has before him no possible career
In politics. nor any hope of becoming
a Carnegie or "A Huntington. Conse-
uuently he Is without ambition to DO
hO work faster or by better methods;
he Is content to do what his father ala,
without thinking, though the all see
Ing government Is making herculean
efforts through it's scores of technical
and industrial schools-the best in the
world to stir him from his stolid and.
| prcccdent-bound lothargy.
The German workman is slow, says
the Outlook. therefore his wages are
small. 1t is less expensive in Ger
many to hire muscle than II IL to In
stall expensive machinery. Therefore
in all sorts of German manufacturing
establishments one sees clouds OF
workmon bending their backs to bur
dens which In America are borne
swiftly. nokclessly and more cheaply
by electricity or steam.

Poultry Point b. Picked Up.

In an experiment to test the loss
of moisture in incubator eggs the
West Virginia station found that the
smaller eggs lost a very considerable
larger quantity of moisture than did
the larger eggs. This Is as 1t should
be, as the relative surface on the larger
eggs Is less than on the smaller eggs.
The result should he that the moisture
content OF the large eggs should he
more constant than in the small eggs
and in some seasons this should give
Matching results in favor Of the large
eggs.
For a good many years now the ad-
visers of amateurs in poultry raising
have been advising to feed the young
chicks on hard boiled eggs chopped
fine. Now some of the poultrymen
are declaring that the practice is not a
good one, and that the hard boiled
eggs are too hard on the young chicks.
We would like to have the opinions
Of some OF our readers on this point.

the negro left the scene of his crime
and stepped across this street to a saloon,
where he was given fve-dollar note
for a portion OF the change. He then
proceeded to imbibe an overly large
supply of booze, and with his brain rat
tied as result he returned to the
grocery store. where he stretched full
length in the refrigerator, and was soon
sleeping soundly.
He was discovered by Mr.. Stout when
