WHAT SHOULD A YOUNG MAN DO.

/" ~
Popular Mechanics has been running
a very interesting symposium on the
subject of what calling a young man
should follow in life, and it is crafty
ing to find that those who know most
about the various trades each urge
young men to enter them. For exam
pie. Angus Sinclair, Editor Railway and
Locomotive Engineering, is strongly OF
the opinion that the best field for a
young man is that of running a loco
motive. He says that there are few
lines OF work where the faculty of con-
centrating the mind to the work on
hand is so valuable as i'm that of run
ming a locomotive. and he says that he
knows of no pleasanter business for a
man who will devote himself to it and
acquire a mastery of ii than that Of
running a locomotive. He was 90 years
of and on an engineer, and has been il
many other occupations. but in none OF
them has he enjoyed his work so much
as on an engine.
II. r. Clissold. Editor The Baker,
Helper. Chicago. thinks that the bak-
ing business is one of particular at
tractiyeness and benefit to young men
1t is not a mint nor is the baker liable
to make great strikes. but il gives q
enterprise and plain common sense
which will bring him in regular and
reasonable profits.

The Great CrOton Dam.

After IS years of building the great
CrOton dam, which has cost the city
of New York $8,000,O00, was completed
last week.
The last stone, a piece of coping on
the spillWay, was laid by Comptroller
Metz, the official guest of honor of the
contractors. After the ceremony there
was a banquet in celebration Of the
event.
