The BIRD MnnnnnlIkt

AS is generally known, the cuckoo
lays its eggs in the nests of other birds,
leaving them to he Matched and the
young cucloos reared by their foster
parents. The young cuckoo throws the
other birds out of the nest and gets all
the care itself. After numbering its
foster brothers and sisters in the most
deliberate and callous way it is thence
forth tended with the greatest devo-
ton. Long after it has left the nest
the great bird. apparently big enough
to get its own living and many times
larger than its foster parents. is fol-
lowed about and fed by them with the
same care as when in the nest.

You Will Be Happy if Well.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
BestOWs that Health and
Vigor that Makes Liv-
ing a Pleasure.

If you are sick and out of-sorts, it is in your
power to make yourself healthy, strong, and
happy.
There is not the slightest reason why you
should go through life feeling sickly, miserable,
languid, and melancholic. To be well and
strong, means happiness and true Joy.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgia,
dyspeptic, or have the shadows of disease
lowering over you; if you are not as bright,
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce TO restful sleep. Thous-
ands once in a half-dead condition owe their
present good health to the use of Paine's
Celery Compound. Mr.. VIM. S. Gibson, of
Pleasureville, KY, who, through sickness and
suffering, was brought near the dark grave,
writes as follows, regarding his marvellous
cure:-
"I have been broken down in health and
strength, nervous system shattered, kidneys
out of order, had nervous and trembling spells
off and on for the last ten years. have taken
three bottles of your Paine's Celery Compound
and all of the aforementioned troubles have
left me, and can now do good days work.

don't worry me, and now feel better than l
have in ten years. l have a good appetite,

pirate $2,4OO,0OO for a new structure.
The building is now practically COM
pleted. 1t is double the size Of any
other printing Office in the world and
in its interior appointments is a de-
light to any printers eye. The oak
cases, the light and the solidity and
security of the structure cause the
printers to speak in highest praise of
1t.
The new Office has a floor space Of
about fourteen acres, divided into
seven floors without partitions. Print
ers need light and this is provided by
1900 windows. One-third Of all the
wall space is glass, and, in order that
this light may not be lost, the walls Of
the rooms are lined with white enamel
bricks which can be washed like a
bath tub or the marble steps of the
houses in Philadelphia. The building
is absolutely fire-pFoof, or as near fire
proof as any building can be. It is
also as substantial as possible. and
its walls are built like those Of for
tress, because type is heavy and print
ing presses cause considerable vibra-
ton, and it would be unfortunate TO
have the roof or the walls cave in and
bury 1857 American citizens under the
material and machinery that Is intend
ed only for the Disseminate Of in
telligence. The outside walls are three
feet thick, and to construct them 10,-
00O, 900 bricks were required. Enclosed
within them is a steel framework
weighing about 100000 pounds,
which is heavier, perhaps, than the

Although much has been said and
written about the servant girl problem,
few families in comparison to the
total number in the country are trou-
bled by it. This fact would be estab-
lished by the census reports If the
average citizen had not noted it in his
experience. The rule is that the Amer
lean family is independent Of outside
help. There are less than two million
women employed as housekeepers,
stewardesses, lanndresses, nurses, gen.
eral servants and mattresses, whereas
there are more than sixteen million
families in the country. Many Of the
women are employed in hotels and res
taurants, public 1aundries and hospit-
ais. But assuming that they are all
employed in families there is less than
one servant for every eight homes. Or,
If the nurses, laundresses and house
keepers are omitted, there is one SER
want for every twelve and half fami-
lies. The preparation of servants to
the number of families Is fairly uni
form drought the whole country. The
states III WHICH ,Iner6 are large cities,
however, have a larger proportion of
servants than those having small
cities only; and the Southern States,
which have a large negro population.
make use of more domestic help than
the Western States. The number Of
laundresses In the South is notable.
Georgia has four thousand more Of
them than New York The problem of
domestic service becomes acute with
the increasing prosperity of the family
and the growing completely of it's life.
The independence Of modest means
and modest tastes then gives way to
dependence ON the assistance of out
siders for the qualification Of new
wishes. The millions of families that
are still sufficient unto themselves
have little to complain Of when they
consider the trials Of those who are de-
pendent on others for the management
OF their homes.

Nearly 1000 Employees.
Each day about fifteen tons of paper
are used and in the cases are more
than 100000 pounds of ordinary type.
There are 1857 employees on the pay
roll, of whom more than 1000 are
typesetters, 927 are employed in the
bindery, $50 are pressmen and 50
electrotypers. The rest are divided
among various departments and all are
well paid.
The government of the United States
does more printing and publishes more
documents than any other nation i'll
the world, and last year the cost Of
this branch Of the service reached
$5,S4S, 453O8. A large proportion of
this money was wasted by the printing
of worthless and useless documents
ordered by Congress- One-half of 'ne
printing done for the Senate and the
House Of Representatives is pure
waste of labor and money, and the
extravaganza Of Congress in this re-
spect is increasing annually. No mat
ter what kind of a report is made from
a committee, no matter what sort of a
petition Is presented by senator or
a member, it goes to the government
printing Office, and at least 1900 cop
les are issued and divided among The
members Of both houses for distribu
ton. This has been the subject Of
inquiry and discussion periodically for
many years, and repeated attempts
have been made to introduce measures
of economy, but the Congress readily
drops back into its old habits after
a few months Of reform.
1t is said that company at Edin-
burgh, Scotland, is building printing
establishment more than twice as large
as the government office at Washing
ton and that it will cost $7,0OO,OOO
while the plant at Washington repre-
sents only about $4,0OO,O0O but no one
seems to know much about it except
that 1t is intended for the publication
of books and magazines.
The French government has the next
biggest printing establishment in
village near Paris; that of the German
government Is third in size, and that
Of the Japanese is fourth.

quit making bricks for other men and
went into the coal business. He pros

contract to go into effect January l
