may do much, but cannot entirely
overstep certain limitations inteFposed

after ten years or foremanship.
After he has acquired the knack Of
his duties, swiftness of movement and
an unerring touch are the main asset
of the factory piece worker, for his
weekly wages are entirely governed
by it. In factories and mail order
houses where speed is as essential as
accuracy 1t is common occurrence to
discharge men who, though by no
means drones when their willingness
to make good is considered. are phys.
ically so slow and wasteful in their
movements after the coaching period
that they barely pass the bottom quail
fication mark of their department
On the other hand, the phenomena
of muscular speed exist in every fac
tory and workshop. The man with
the speed record in the factory is the

speed is to the factory worker what
sharp reason and quick judgment is

time in the history of the office. These
are largely derived from the applica.
tons OF the turbine principle, which
opened up an entirely new channel
with almost endless ramifications.
The sewing machine division is sim.
Harry full of work, although our peo-
pie have for years had as good domes-
tic machines as anybody needed. The
latter inventions relate chiefly to new
fields in factory work or leather and
heavy textiles.
The direction of invention thus un.
dergoes constant change. Fifteen
years ago it was a difficult administra-
tive problem to handle the bicycle in
ventton that were pouring in. Today
an examiner or two easily take care
of them.
So far back as 1876 a patent office
expert who was in charge of the agri.
cultural machinery exhibit at the Phil
adelphia centennial was so impressed
with the perfection which had then
been reached that he discouraged a
young friend from attempting further
studies in that line Not much, he
thought, remained to be done. Most
middle aged farmers of the Mississip-
pi valley could now tell him of his
great mistake as they look over their
stock of agricultural machines which
were not obtainable in 1876.
Each important invention furnishes
standing room for many more, relating
chiefly to details. The history of in.
vention thus seems to be continued

On Bearing an Insult

the world goes now the pride Of per
son. which is easily offended in dig.
nifty, is about as expensive a thing as
can be imagined.
To avenge an insult is not a bust
ness proposition. 1t may be a person
al qualification, but it never did pay
and never will pay as a step in ones
career. 1t simply increases the viru.
lence of the wound. The wise man
will treat it as strong dose of mental
opiate. Forget it, least in so far as
to forbid it occupying your time or
fretting your energies. Let some one
else handle the man, for sooner or
later some one will take the time to
do 1t.
Indeed, the man who hands out in
suits is himself accustomed to them.
The bank president who browbeats
others is often obliged to cringe before
some gigantic depositor. To the rude
all men are rude. The insolent per-
son often takes a petty pleasure in in
flicting upon lesser men the naughty
manners that stronger men visited on
him.
No man can pass through the day,
after he leaves the refinement and af-
lection of his own home, without en-
countering rudeness. Dare he say he
is himself the same considerable gen.
tleman in the fight and scramble Of
market and forum?
The incivilities of public servants,
the bawl and shout of the director of
the trafflc squad, the taxi driver and
the baggeman, what is more absurd
than to allow these gnat and flea bites
to knock out day or land a gentle
man in prison for ssault? A CHEEKY
heart and high aim soothe an insult
with oblivion every time.-Rev Emory
