A CRUEL JEST.

CRUEL JEST.
At Cleveland, O.. some time ago. this
advertisement appeared in the newspa-
pers:
WANTED.-Two hundred laborers and
teamsters Immediately. Wages $3.50 per
day Apply D. Z. BROWN. The Hollen-
den.
Mr.. Brown was assistant superin-
tendent of the Crucible Steel company
of Pittsburg. He had just been mar
RED
The newspaper account goes on to
say;
'In blissful Inconsistencies of the
trouble in store for him Mr.. Brown
opened the door and was greeted by a
delegation of teamsters and laborers
who wanted work. He told them there
must be some mistake.
Downstairs he was stormed by 200
more. Packing his grip, he and bis
bride fed from the hotel. Friends of
humorous instincts had perpetrated the
joke and got much enjoyment out of
Mr.. Browns discontinue"
AS to the latter expression-no doubt.
Mr.. Browns friends were plainly of
that sort who would get much enjoy
| ment out of that gentleman's discomi-
ture regardless of the feelings of 9TH
ers
But
| What of the two or three hundred
workingmen so cruelty fooled to make
a holiday for the friends of Mr.. Brown
These men were looking for employ
ment and needing work.
| Who knows? Short meals may have
been eaten in laborers' homes because
of the disappointment. The cruel de
| fusion may have blasted the hopes fol
little money to pay on rent to save
eviction or on pressing bills. Whc
knows?
1t is no joke to be looking for work
and be turned away.
1t is just such wealthy snobs as
these friends of Mr. Brown who by
their callous feeling for the working
man. by their Indifference for and con
tempt of the welfare of honest work
ing people-it Is these Gallios, who
care not who are widening the breach
between capital and labor.
When decent, deserving. callouset
handed laborers can be cruelty used t
point the jests and adorn the practica
jokes of rich young laZaroni such al
episode becomes a social tragedy.
How one wishes some of those bi:
isted workingmen might have located
the perpetrators Of the Joke!

CATGUT STRINGS.
The Way They Are Made From the
Intestines of Sheep.

Catgut strings, it is well known, are
made of the intestincs of sheep. The
intestines of the full grown animal are
from forty to fifty feet long
The raw material from the stock
yards is first thoroughly cleansed Of
fat and f1eshy fiber by dull knives ar
ranged on a drum turned by a crank.
The white tough mem brane that is
left is then handed over to the split
ter, who dexterously splits the mate
rial into even strands Ivy bringing it
against the blade of a safety razor set
upright in the table before him. The
strands are then spun together and
placed on the drying frames.
An American f violin string re
quires six strands, the European four.
The strands, at one end fastened to an
upright post, are twisted together
while still damp and pliable by means
of a spinning wheel. Taken from the
driving frames, the strings are cut in
lengths, coiled and boxed in oiled pa
per for shipment, To polish the strings
very fine emery paper laid on grooyed
aluminium block is used. While the
strings are still On the drying frame
the covered block IS passed over the
strings, polishing as many at one time
as there are grooves in the block 1t
can be seen that from the manner in
which the strands are twisted the eff
feet Of polishing is TO weaken the
string.
In the essential features the process
of making the fine gut strings for sur
gical uses or the heavy strings three
eighths OF an inch thick sometimes
employed for machinery betting does
not differ from the method employed
in the case of the musical strings eZ-
cept that the latter are handled With
