MUST WEAR DARK CLOTHES
An Absolute Requirement in Factories
Where Work Is Done With
Gold.

Light suits of clothes are not favor
ed in Factories where work is done on
gold. In fact, in many such factories
a dark suit of clothes is absolutely re-
4uired and even a light waistcoat may
lose man job. The reason for this
is that any stray grains of gold that
may get on the clothing can easily be
Taught on dark suit. while they might
get away from the establishment IL
light clothes were worn.
That such a rule was enforced
among gold workers one man learned
recently when a Bohemian gold beater
applied TO him for a helping hand. The
bohemian said that he had only re
emily come to this country. that he
had had a chance to obtain a good job
at his trade. but that the place had
been refused him because he turned up
with a light coat and waistcoat on.
and they were the only clothes he
had.
The man whom he approached was
struck by the story and offered to help
him out if it proved true. He went to
down town factory with him and
found out that the man could have the
job if he presented himself within an
hour with the proper clothes on Two
dollars enabled the man to rig himself
out in the dark coat and waistcoat to
go with his dark trousers, and sure
enough he got the job.
You may think this strange" said
the man at the factory, blu, it means
quite little to us. Every mans
clothing is carefully examined when he
leaves here at night, and the gold
brushed off whenever We see any on
his clothing.
1T is impossible To hide even tiny
grains on dark background, but take
a mixed or a light suit. and We might
easily lose quite IN amount of gold,
and gold isn't anything you want to
lose, even in small quantities"

STRANGE COURT TRIAL
CHIMPANZEE IS DEFENDANT IN
WEST AFRICAN TRIBUNAL.
"John" Pleads Guilty to Having Stolen
Sweets and Is Sentenced to Three
Months Confinement In
Prison.

The following strange incident is re-
lated by Capt. George A. Briggs and
occurred during his stay on the west
coast of Africa about ten years ago.
A chimpanzee named John. who was
owned by a high official. one day broke
from his chain and. strolling uncon-
cernedly down the main thoroughfare.
scattered the crowds before him. A
native woman who was vending dain-
ties dropped her tray and even for
getting her small child fed with the
crowd.
The chimpanzee soon spied the tray
Of dainties and devoured them in a
most convincing manner. The child.
seeing all the sweets disappear. at
tackled the chimpanzee by the tail. but
a bite from the brute sent the child
yelling at the top of his lung power.
This SO Infatuated the natives that
they made a combined attack on John
and his lease of life would have been
cut short had not his owner appeared.
He faced the crowd and assured them
that every man would be rendered his
due. For a similar offense he in
quired whether a man would not have
to stand his trial in court.
Yah! YAH" was the shout.
Then" said Johns owner, let the
woman appear in court tomorrow with
the child and all the witnesses and
I promise you John will be there like
a man 10 stand trial and take what
ever punishment may be dOled out to
him.
The next morning the court was
crowued when John appeared. chained
arf arried by several policemen. He
Nas placed in The dock and the charge
of larceny and assault was read to
him.
His master turned TO him and. ask
ing him if he had any defense TO Of
fer. was answered by the usual grunts
Of delight that John INDUCED in when
ever his master greeted him.
The master Len Informed the judge
that John had pleaded guilty and had
no defense TO offer. The judge. after
due deliberation. sentenced the brute
to three months and he was led away
to prison. where he served his sen.

HANDLING L0N00N's LETTERS
Some Idea Of the Die Force Required
In the Crest Post
Once.

Sir Henry Tanner. principal archi.
tect in his majesty's once Of works.
gave an address before the Royal in
stitute Of British Architects in Lon
don recently, describing in detail the
new general post once to be known
as King Edwards building.
As giving some idea Of the magni-
tude Of the work there, he mentioned
that the removal of provincial mails
and of the parcels Of Mount Pleasant
railroad to the main building required
700 of the force Of ESQ men.
leaving only 2.15O in the old build
ing. but there were at the date
of removal to King Edwards building
1850 of all ranks. including l.400
postmen. Meanwhile the force at
Mount Pleasant had increased from
1850 to 1850. These numbers were
exclusive of the temporary force en-
ployed at Christmas.
The work dealt with per week was
as follows. Five and half millions
of letters, ETC., delivered in E. c.
district. and 100000 to other dis
tricts of London and by certain provin-
cial mails. and $4,000 dispatched to
foreign countries and the colonies:
in all, 12.500.0O0. weighing about 366
tons.
With regard to the cost of the new
building he found that IL built in the
ordinary way with steel construction
the approximate cost. exclusive of IT.
tings. etc. would be E355.00O. but II
in reinforced concrete s295. 900 would
probably suffice. The latter figure
had proved to be correct. SO that
there had been an approximate saw
ing of 100000. and. apart from this.
considerable space had been gained
by the great reduction In wall thick
nesses.
The general post Office has fur
nished statistics of the Yuletide traf-
fic. showing that all records were ex-
ceeded in the huge 1910 Christmas
post bag" The great Office il
equipped with the very latest appli-
ances. and all were working up to
their fullest capacity during Christ
mas week. To suit the great length
of the building electric "conveyers"
have been installed. A new and in.
geniOus system for sorting newspa-
pers was also successfully tried.

Turks Must Study German.

Germany has gained diplomatic
victory. the consequences of which
can hardly be foretold. in persuading
the Turkish government to make the
study of the German language oblig-
atory in all the elementary schools of

Practical and far-seeing Germans
long ago realized that the spread of
the German language is one of the
best methods of promoting German
trade interests in distant parts of the
world, and the German government
has always given its support to the
foundation of German schools i'm over

In recent years great efforts have
been made to establish the German
schools in China. Persia and many

Unique Instrument Made by Richard

Filed With the Registrar.

A unique instrument was filed 70
Gently with the Taunton registrar OF
deeds by Richard A. George of North
Attleboro, in which tract of land In
New Boston, q suburb Of North Attic
boro. was conveyed to the Lord a
Hosts.
So far as known 1t was the first
instrument filed In New England max

In the deed the Lord is named as

of the Lord In the transaction were
Charles Carpenter. E. S. Barstow and
A. H. Jamison. all Of North Attleboro.
who are described in the paper as be-
ing trustees Of the Christian Work
ers' union. The grantor was Richard
A. George.
The deed is couched in the ordinary
legal expression and declares that

valuable considerations paid by the

of which is hereby acknowledged.
does hereby give. grant. bargain. etc.
unto the said Lord and representa-
tives. a certain lot of land situated in
North Attleboro. on the New Boston
road" Then follows in the deed a
more particular description of the
property.
The land was purchased in 1904 by
the Christian Workers union Of North
Attleboro. but the instrument setting
forth the transfer was not presented
to be recorded until the past week.
1t is supposed that the matter OF
tax assessments will have to be borne
by the trustees of the Christian Work
ers' union unless some special exemp-
ton from taxation Is secured. This
will be determined later.
New Boston is small village some
three miles from North Attleboro. on
the road to FOxboro. A number Of
years ago some of the villagers
formed a religious society. and meet
ings have since been held by the %
or 80 members. The body took the
name of the Christian Workers
union
In 1904 the society decided to erect
a small structure az place Of
worship. The land was purchased of
Richard A. George. one of the men,
bers. and he decided the property to
