Washinoton ao an inventor.

George Washington, like Abraham
Lincoln. was an inventor. He invented
n deep soil plow, which was used OH
his plantations in Virginia until he
heard of better one in England. This
he imported at once. His invention
was useful, which is more than can be
said of Lincoln's. The latter invented

shallow water or lift itself over bars,
but it would not work.

Hotels For the Poor.

The hotel for the poor in Milan
was opened seven years ago, and a
dormitory therefor was started four
years ago. The work of the society
is officially said to be steadily pro-
crossing and receiving much encour-
agement. The society's capital is
$82,955, and provisions donated
amount to $13,124. The net profit
for 1907 was $5216, although ex-
penses for improvements are stated
to have been relatively high. The
daily earnings of the hotel amounted
to SCI. The average daily earnings
Of the restaurant was $40.
The callings of the 453 daily in
mates of the hotel were as follows:
Lawyers, mathematician, ETC., 49,;
students, 8; clergyman, 1; soldier, 1:
painters, sculptors, engravers and
photographers, 10; musicians, singers
and actors, 10; travelling statesmen,
81; Office and store clerks, SO; print
ers and bookbinders, II; street ven
doris, 10; mechanics and electricians,
81; cabinetmakers and carpenters,
16; tailors and shoemakers, Z; brick
layers and ~stonecutters, Is; laborers,
73; peasants, IT; cooks and walters,
20; business men, 20; foreigners, 48.
Among the foreigners were Ameri-
cans, English, Germans, Russians,
Roumanians, Poles, French, Japan
ese and Africans, who had heard of
the Milan hotel called "Albergo Pop
Glare" prior to their arrival in the
city.
The average daily number of in
mates in the dormitory was 316 men,
SO women, and 6 children, making a
total of 358 persons. The average
daily earnings of the dormitory
amount to $21.19, which is a de-
crease of about IA cents per day from
1906. Beds cost from 4 to 6 cents
per night.
