The manager of an American tool
company's work in Berlin has made a
remarkable comparison of the wages
paid aud the cost of tools in American
and German works, both sets of laborers
using identical machines. He finds that
the American workman, making an ex-
act allowance for the difference in wages
turns out IA clear % per cent. more pro-
duct for the same unit of wages. Man
for man the German produces twofifths
of what an American does. A shoe fac
tory at Breslau using American ma
chinery secured better results by import
ing eight American workmen and paying
them by the piece TO stimulate the Ger
man workmen, who then came within
10 per cent of the Americans work.

HE took only one look and then flew

would do when he awoke.
at needed only one more sound from
the rooster before the stout man
opened his eyes, and with a sudden
start backward he threw up his hands,
in astonishment, while roars of laugh

hurriedly into the car and demanded
who had stopped the train.
by that time the owner of the
rooster had awakened, and. taking in
the situation, reached up and gathered

to the bag from which he had escaped
and which contained two more fowls
