MAN NEVER SATISFIED

The Springfield Leader offers thi.
philosophic explanation of why
there is so much popular discomfort
when.the country is so phenomen.
ally prosperous:
Discomfort is never so common as
when prosperity is abundant. Men
are never SO nolslly miserable as
they are when they have nothing to
complain about. fr'. SO 90
That is why we hear so much
nowadays of social runreast, The
country is rich beyond the visions
of the people. of other nations. Ths
whir of the loom, the sound of the
forge, the noise of the factory are
heard in ever-increasing volume
everywhere. Everybody has EN-
.ployment at higher wages than are
pald anywhere else on earth or have
ever been paid before. The farmer
IS prosperous as he has never been
since Adam titled the soil. Ameri-
cans are better fed, better clothed,
better housed and better amused
than they ever have been and better
tar than any other people. Yet we
hear the cry of discomfort.

MORE THAN A CHANCE
From the New York Mail,

|
America, said German public
ist, is the land of "im measurable
possibilities" 1t is also the land
of political equality. 1t is also,
more than any other country just
aow, a land on the upgrade.
Things are booming, expanding,
developing. People IN every quar-
ter of the country are making for-
tunes as rapidly and romantlcally,
1t not as epicturesqpely, as the Ar
gonauts and the pioneer railroad
builders of the West. Everybody,
II seems, is making living-that is,
e~erybody with good health who is
willing to work.
These are the days of brighter
and wider opportunity, perhaps,
than this country has ever" known
before, Chances for productive,
occupation and self-advancement
are so numerous that there is no ex-
cuse for yoGng, mans turning a.
covetous eye on a too swollen for
tune amassediby someone else. The
business leaders of today are not the
business leaders of half a generation
ago, nor are" they their sons, nor
have they in some way contrived to
posses themselves of the wealth
heaped up by the business of yes
'erday. They have made iit, them
selves out Of the new opportunities
afforded by the national expansion. |
In fourteen years the wealth of
he co ountrY has increased by more
han forty billions. Of dollars, 1t is
Increasing now at the, rate of three
billions year. Here is new op- +
for the new man. Fresh
oafces of wealth, are being con-
tantly developed in the growth of
lties, in immigration, in an increas-
in irrigation, in in
ensige farming, in afforestation, in
ndustrial chemistry. The automo, i

Coin Testers IN the Mint.

The adjusting of the coin Is the
most interesting part OF the whole
process. This requires delicateness
of touch which is more highly deyel-
oped In woman than in man, and on
account of her superior qualification In
this respect. this department is in her
charge. Here the coin Is first Select
ed"-that is, pieces which show the
slightest imperfection or roughness
are thrown out; those which pass sue
cessfully through the skilled fingers
are sent to the long tables. where an
other set of women weighs each one
on delicate scales. If the coin is too
heavy. a portion is filed off; il too
light, 1t Is thrown out, to be remelted
Some of these women have become so
expert as to handle a thousand pieces
a day. The coins are next fed to the
milling machines. this work also be-
ing done by women. The planchets
are put into the instrument by means
OF tube, and as they descend they
are caught upon a revolving wheel and
the edge is compressed and forced up.
AT least 500 dimes can be milled in
the short space Of a minute. About
eighty women are employed in these
two rooms.-Leslie's Weekly.
