JOB PRINTERS

Job printers-real competent and
tasteful and sober and industrious job
printeres are becoming an alarmingly
scarce article in the trade market
The Inland Printer-the text book
of the practical journeyman-say
that employers are now obliged to
pay from twenty-five to thirty and
even forty dollars a week for really
good job printers, "crackerjack"
here and there getting as much as
fifty dollars. The reason for this is
probably due largely to the rush OF
young men into the professions, al
ready so overcrowded that some must
really suffer.
Horace Greeley, who learned the
printers trade at Poultney, VT, his
yearly stipend being $40 a year and
board, (the first six months for board
only wrote: They say that appren-
ticeship is distasteful to and out of
fashion with the boys of our day; if
So regret it for their sakes. To the
youth who asks, How shall obtain
an education? would answer
Learn trade of a good MASTER
hold firmly that most boys may thus
acquire the knowledge they need than
by spending four years in college.
William Lloyd Garrison, the great
anti-slayery advocate, who in 1928
published the Journal of the Times
at Old Bennington, learned the print
ers trade on the NewbuIyport Mass
Herald. Many other noted men came
up through the country printing Of
flee, like Schuyler Colfax, Simon
Cameron, Mark Twain, and many 9th
ers. The printing office supplies a
useful trade and a liberal education
at the same time.
Speaking OF the oyercrowded pro
fesslons, Bennington is typical Of the
Icountry wide, with its fifteen physl-
clans and nearly as many attorneys.
For population OF about nine thous-
and souls this condition looks peril
ously like "crowding the mourners. II
The fact that theprinterapprentice
must begin low down in point OF
wages, because he is OF little value to
his employees in the early stages II
justice is done him, the average
young man prefers, if he cannot enter
college, to go into the mill at a dollar
a day But he seldom gets above two
dollars a day in the end and ought &c
be willing to begin lower down in or
der to rise higher in the scale

Made the Cannon Balls Fit.

The first battle of the war Of 1912
was fought at Sacketts Harbor, July 8,
1912, and consisted Of an attack made
upon the village. The inhabitants had
but one gun Of sufficient size and
strength to inflct damage, a thirty-two
FOUNDER, for which they had no shot.
This difficulty was overcome by the
patriotism Of the housewives, who tore
up carpets from the floors and with
strips wound the small balls to fit the
cannon.

AK LA CHAPELLE OR AACHEN
 In the octagon is the slab covering the tomb of Charlemagne. The tomb was first opened by Otto III two hun dred years after the death of Charle. magne. He was found seated on marble throne with his feet resting on an old marble sarcophagus. The throne is still to be seen. It is plain; has mar ble steps leading up to it and is with out ornament Thirty seven emperors have been crowned in it. The sarco- phagus is beautifully carved, carving representing "The Rape of Proserpine." Otto placed the body here, where it re- mained another POO years, when Fred erick Barbarossa opened it. The bones and relics were then scattered about some. Above the tomb is magnificent candelabrum or chandelier presented by Henry II. It is now furnished with 48 electric lights.
 In the choir is a pulpit presented by Henry H. It is beautifully carved and inIaid with ivory and gold. Here St. Bernard preached one of the crusades. It is studded with very large precious stones and connected with it is cup and saucer of rock crystal. Close to pulpit is the tomb of Otto III, who died in 1902. The, walls there are GOV. cred with very rich Gobelins tapestry. The dome of the octagon is in mosaic. The gallery was held up or supported by porphyry pillars, but the French carried most of them away. Some of them were afterwards returned. The railing around the gallery is of bronze and is beautifully carved. It is more than thousand years old.
 have neither the time nor the ability to go into a minute description of the statues of the saints, the apostles, Challemagne or others; the mosaics or stained windows. The treasury is said to be one of the richest in the world and it certainly has the largest collec- tion of relics 1 ever saw. They value the treasures at over three million dollars.
 The custodian showed me all the minor relics and the reliquary contain ing the greater relics which are only shown every seven years. (They were shown last year) They comprise: l. Dress or gown worn by the virgin at the nativity; 2-Loin cloth covered with blood worn by Christ when cruel fled; 3-Swaddling cloth of Chriet; A. Cloth on which head of John the Bap- tist was laid. The custodian also gave me list of the other relics, but as it is little out of my line l will mention few of them, as the whole list would be too long:
 First compartment-Reliquary con- taiuing part of the true cross and some of the hair of the virgin; particle of the tiple on the cross and some bones of St. Nicholas, St. Pantaleon and others; a vase containing some relics of Pope Leo III, who consecrated the cathedral in 8O5; cross of peace containing large particle of the true cross; silver bust of Pope Leo III containing a bone of St. Leo; cross given by Elizabeth of Prussia; in the middle is a pectoral cross worn by Charlemague and given to him by Pope Leo III; in the pectoral cross is pre- sented large particle of the true cross; reliquary containing bones of the twelve apostles; silver vase containing part of rib of St. Emmerich; some
