At the end Of the North parade

led to Lowestoft manufacturing the

almost priceless.
Initial experiments made by HewliL

To-day l encountered a within Of
New York tailors that astonished me-"
said a western clergyman. II ordered
a suit Of clothes from a man who re-
fused to work for me.
whats the reason you folks are
passing me along to another taflor?"
I asked. DO I look hard to ft? Are
you afraid you won't get your money?
'eThe tailor explained that neither of
my guesses was correct. He declined
to make my clothes simply because l
am a clergyman and require a clerical
cut. He let me down easily by stat
ing further that he neve undertook
to make ecclesiastical garments, that
very few Of the lay tailors in New
York do undertake them. They do
not have enough Of that kind Of work
to keep them constantly informed on
the requirements of the different re-

Lahore Forward March.

Labor has triumphs to celebrate At
this time irrespective Of those asso-
ciated with organized effort Less than
two centuries ago man didn't even own
his labor. This time 200 years ago
Landgrave Carl Of Hesse-Cassell took
a notion to construct a magnificent
playhouse near his summer place to en-
terrain his royal friends, and. the whole
elaborate structure was created with
ont expense except for foreign talent
to design and supertntend. All the Ia
Dor Of quarrying, carving, digging,
hosting, grading, ETC.. was wrung from
his people something IN the way mod
ern road taxes are worked out. Every
subject was assessed 80 many days
work a year to build . toy for the
prince. The burden lasted many years.
This piece Of folly Is still to be seen
by the tourists who VISIT WIhelms-
hoehe.
Imperial Germany now has about
2,215,O 900 organized workingmen, and
labor unions are even more. influential
there than in any other county ON the
globe. Germany has developed sys-
TENS Of workingmen's insurance which
are the models Of the world. It is also
active in insuring employment and I'm
proving the standard of labor among
It's members.
An evidence Of the strides made by
labor Is the act which went into effect
Aug. I in this country granting COM
%pensation for injuries received in gov
eminent employment. Carl Of Hesse-
Cassell got his government work done
for nothing. Today labor is paid for
on government works, and the laborer
IS practically insured against injury
when so employed. This principle Of
liability for injuries incurred in the.
service Of others is gaining strength
everywhere and in more or less modi-
fed form will doubtless become the
rule generally in this country. The
frequency with which the term 'labor
legislation is used indicates that hui
man toll must not be confiscated under
any guise. A single labor law is an en-
terfng wedge. and more will follow.

CLEANING A CLOCK.
h 10 Not Very Difficult, According Il
These Direetions.

h 10 Not Very DitEeuit, According 4
These Directions.
It Is very simple to clean q clock,
which may sound rather absurd. Fo,
an amateur 1t IS not always necessary
to take the clock to pieces. With d
little care and patience and using some
benzine, a clean white rag, a sable
brush and some oil q clock can be
cleaned and put in first class running
order. The benzine should be clean
and free from oil. You can test ben
sine by putting a little ON the back OF
the hand. II it is good, It viii dry of,
leaving the hand quite clean, but II
any grease remains on the hand It Is
not at to use.
The oil should be Of the very best
that a be procured. Vegetable oils
should never be used. Clock OIL can be
procured from your druggist or jeweler.
All loose dirt should be removed from
the works by blowing with bellows or
a fan or busting with a dry brush. In
the latter case great care should be ex.
ercised not to injure any Of the parts.
Dip the brush in the benzine and clean
the spindles and spindle holes and tile
teeth Of the escapement wheel. After
washing a part wipe the brush on the
rag and rinse In the benzine. This
should be repeated frequently untn no
more dirt is seen.
When the clock has dried oil the spin
die holes carefully. This may be done
with a toothpick or a silver of wood
cut to a fine point. OIL the tooth Of the
escapement wheel Slightly, using q fine
brush.-Popular Mechanics.
