Piece Of Valuable Carpet.

"There is a small piece OF carpet in
the mint in San Francisco that good
many people would doubtless like to
get possession of, remarked r. H.
Smith OF the California city.
ut is in the adjusting room, where
surplus gold is trimmed from the
coins after they have been stamped.
OF course these little trimmings often
drop on the floor and are imbedded in
the carpet. which is soon to be burned
in order that the precious filings may
be recovered. Sometimes after piece
of carpet like this has been burned
$1,000 worth of gold dust is taken
fxom the ashes. The sweepings from
the floor each day are carefully treas
ured.'

WILL LIE ABOUT THE WEATHER
Something About Which Honesty
Seems to Cut Little Figure.

The thing most lied about in the
world is the weather. The weather
can't sue for libel 50 it is safe thing
to lie about, although it does strike
back now and then.
Most people see no harm in stretch
ing meteorological truth; in fact, they
look with mistrust on the person who
insists upon handing the weather
a square deal If your neighbor says
his thermometer registered 20 below,
and you tell him that yours only
showed ten below he despises you
for a person without imagination. In
the summer. likewise, when your mer-
curry stands at Sc in the shade and he
says his stands at 9S, You are the
one on whom popular doubt will rest.
Honesty is not the best policy when
the weather is under discussion, un-
less you like to appear at disadvan
tage.
There is a large and fourishing class
of liars who everlastingly pretend to
know what the weather is going to do,
setting themselves q up as intimate
friends Of the weather, when. as every
one knows their acquaintance is bare
ly speaking one Once in awhile a
born liar meaning to lie, will tell the
truth in spite of himself, and it is thus
with the weather professors; they
can't miss the right guess always, be-
cause there are so few things for the
weather man to do.
Call on half a dozen of your weather
wise friends and ask them what 1t is
going to be tomorrow, and they will
disagree as widely as the alienists in
a murder trial without any apparent
harm to their professional regulations

soranInn ALONE on s5o. noo.

We have heard it laid down by a
thoughtful man, and a Scotchman to
boot, that the most impossible of all
positions is that of a man who has a
wife and a large family and but a
thousand pounds year to keep up an
appearance on. Why not
for variations sake, discuss the ques-
ton as to what a man can manage
to cut anything of figure on? 1t was
laid down by former member for
Shefild that it was absolutely impos.
sible to make any real show in public

Before making a speech Charles
Dickens would decide on his various
heads and then in his minds eye lik-
en- the whole subject to the tire OF a
cart wheel-he being the hub. From
the hub to the tire he would run as
many spokes as there were subjects
to be treated and during the progress
Of the speech he would deal with each
spoke separately, celebrating them as
he went round the wheel; and when
all the spokes dropped out one by one
and nothing but the tire and space re-
NAMED he would know that he had
accomplished his task and that his
speech was at an end.

American Girls Responsible.

Probably the American woman is
answerable for a good deal Of the
unrest among the daughters Of France
for she comes among them with all
sorts Of daring projects and perfectly
lovely clothes. She marries their
brothers, she studies art, music and
literature in their country and she
walks serenely on along the path Of
liberty, to the amazement of men,
angels and the Parisian.-The Queen

The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1909-11-30

Something OF the same state Of things
exists in Hungary; severe OF the
-"centrals'' in Budapest are among the
largest buildings in the city. In fact,
in all the European continental coun-
tries visited, to a greater or less ex-
tent. unionism was found in one form
or another, to be intermingled with
partisan politics cooperation, indus
trial and municipal re-
form. The leaders in any one Of these
forms Of social activity were usually
also leaders in another.
In Germany, however, the trade
union movement has become differ
entiated from all the others to a
much greater degree than in n
other European country. Whereas
the situation. when I visited Europe
fourteen years ago., resmebled thai in
Austria at the present time, the re-
markable growth Of unionism in the
last decade and a half has been &C
companied by a developing independ-
ence, in spirit, organization, leader
ship, and activity. The obvious gains

through union processes has appealed
to the general intelligence and prac-
teal turn Of mind of the German
workers The ''centrals'' in such cities
as Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Ham
burg, are really union headquarters.
The official reports relate to union
effort. The objects of the organiza-
tons, as shown in their publications,
are clearly defined. within the scope
Of trade unionism. Time and again,
going about the cities named
with prominent labor men, / asked
the question: ITO what source is
h actual change for the better in
the standard of living of the working
classes in your city? The reply in
variably was: The trade unions. first
and foremost"
The modern "housecleaning'' Of
cities and the governmental philan-
thrOpieS exhibited in working class in
a fell far secondary to the re-
suits Of direct union action. and in
fact without union influence much Of
the legislation for the benefit Of the
workers would remain unenfOrced. On
man trade unions Of today more near
ly resemble the American trade unions
than do those Of any other country in
Europe.
Aside from Germany, the continent
tai countries make a poor exhibit
financially in their unions as COM
pared with American unions. For ex-
ample; in Austria the total income in
1907 Of the labor organizations. with
about half a million members, was
$1,6O0,0OO expenditures, $1,4OO 900.
In the same year the receipts of the
international Typographical Union in
America were $1,8OO,00O and the ex-
penditures $1,64O, 0OO-a strike year
while in 1909, it's receipts were $478.-
600 and tic pon6it1r $dSQ nOn THO
total benefits paid by all the Austrian
unions combined were: Travelling,
$4,000; out-of-work, $23O,OOO; sick,
funeral and infirmity, $230,00O; dis
t~ress," $4,000; total, $573,0OO. The
total income Of the Cigar Makers In
ternatlonal Union OF America for the
last year was $S2S,49S.87. The bene-
fits paid for the year were $~553,S32.34,
as follows: Loans to travelling men,
bers, S46,613.44; sick benefits, $751;
1859; death and total disability bene-

First CYLINDER Press

In 1914 Frederick Koenig in
vented the cylinder press in Lon
don. 1t was used in America
first in 1927. Koenig invented
1t to the order of Walter of the
London Times, the worlds great
newspaper in those days. The
introduction of the cylinder press
caused a great commotion. Riots
resulted. Its manufacture was
carried on secretly. One night
the pressmen of the London
Times waited in vain for the
formf to come down. They
thought that news of tremendous
importance must have delayed
the paper. Suddenly Mr.. Walt
er appeored and distributed
among them the first sheets ever
printed on a cylinder press. It
could produce 1000 impressions
