That Dickens might have had many origi-

Labels.
From the London Globe.

From the Lonuon GI0De.
There Is certain sense of orderliness
about mankind which makes us delight IL,
labels and feel injured If everything Is not
ticketed with Its own appropriate bill Of
lading. But q writer in this months
Nineteenth Century points out the use of
labels is subject to two drawbacks; for, In
the first place. the label may be misap-
piled. and, in the second, 1t may, though
rightly applied, be misleading owing to the
false ideas inherent in the name. The word
duty is label frequently nisused, for
though 1t signifies one of the deepest and
finest of all human impulses, yet there is
hardly any degree OF rudeness, malice or
unkindness which Is not rendered excusa-
BILE, or even praiseworthy, If 1t be only
labeled duty" Liberty" public veal"
and morality" are other labels which are
too often misapplied and affixed to things
which have no right to be SO distinguished
A label with a false idea inherent in the
name Is the word Consistency" which Is
always used with an apprecative signifi-
canoe, though constancy to evil things is in
itself an evil. But still people stick to their
label and approve OF constancy, however
bad its object may be. Nevertheless, labels
will continue to be popular, for the simple
reason that. they save the trouble of inde-
pendent thought. A world In which every
man had to label everything for himself
would be as intolerable as the British Mu-
scum without its catalogue.

Queer Things About Stag.

The young man laid his hand on the block
of Stag, then withdrew 1t with cry and
put his fingers in his mouth. "Ouch!" he

wonderful how Stag retains heat? Three
weeks and more 1t takes one o. these big
blocks to cool off. So say Stag ouht to be

these three-foot blocks, fresh from the fur

stone that exists. You know what it is? 1t
is the dirt and refuse from steel-a compo-
sition of dirt and iron. We are usin' it hero

about 1t is that if a block strikes the water

Old-Time Machine Shop.
rom the Engineering Magazine.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The machine work fifty years ago was
not as good as 1t is now. one reason being
that the machines themselves were defec-
tive. not only in weight and design, but in
workmanship as well; another reason was
that in many cases the filter had to go
over the work again In any event. so that
1t would be time wasted to complete the
lathe work In the lathe. To be truthful. L
must add that the fitting was by no means
what 1t should have been, not so much
through carelessness on the part of the
men as from the lack Of instruments Of
precision for measuring. First and last
these consisted chiefly of calipers, inside
and out, and a two-foot lockwood rule.
Now, If this last had been a consistent
member of a large family. it would have
been in harmony with the others, but the
trouble was that it differed in minute de-
grees of assertion as to the length Of an
inch and fractions thereof so that where
different men went by various rules. all Of
them giving false testimony, the results
were not. at all surprising, and. the box
wood rules fell into disrepute as guides to
accuracy.
