DID AWAY WITH HAND WORK
How Invention of Printing Machins
Completely Revolutionized the
Calico Industry.

In the days before the printing ma
chine was invented or even until its
use became general, calico cloth was
printed by hand by the block method.
By this method the design was OUT
lined on the surface of a wooden block.
the outlines were bounded by pieces OF
brass or copper and the surface filed
in with felt to hold the color. and
sometimes designs of as many as
three or four colors were printed By
this method. When the block was COM
pleted it was dipped in a color box and
the pattern was then impressed upon
the fabric by stamping by hand; and
for each color TO be printed the cloth
had TO be stamped by a separate op-
GRAFTON. The work was slow and la
borious and in printing even some pat
terms that were printed in those days
1t would take a man and d or two
helpers a whole year TO print as many
yards of cloth as can be printed on a
modern printing machine in probably
a day or little more.-Boston Tran
script.

against the owner of a dog of claiming

that he i~ll-treated the animal in any
other way. In the opinion of the Lon

to keep a dog on a chain for an exces-

most as big as a trunk, Oh the par

A nervous passenger was sitting un-

package, fearing it would fall on him.
For some time he managed to keep
silent, but when the train went over
a point In the rails, and the box gave
an ominous lurch, he turned to the
owner, saying:

MANY CHURCHES ON ISLAND
Patmos Long Remarkable for the Large
Number of Its Religious
Edifices.

One of the most remarkable Islands
in the world is Patmos, where st.
John wrote the Book of Revelation. 1t
was always the destination of thou
sands of pilgrims, and In the old days
the rich man who wished to expiate
his sins usually did so by building a
church. The result is that this tiny
island contains the ruins of no fewer
than 300 churches.
The entire population numbers about
1000, and it is considerably larger
now than it was when most of the
buildings were founded. As there are
only 100 houses on the island there
is almost a church for each two fam
lies.
The people are Greeks, whose only
occupation is sponge fishing, though
there Used at one time TO be a trade
in the manufacture of stockings.
Curiously enough, though the island
lies quite close to Turkey, there has
never at any time been a mosque upon

not find room for one.

Trouble In the Next Congress.
BY EDWARD 8. A

Washington.-The Republican lead
ers in the house of representatives
gave over their plan to call the newly
elected members Of congress of their
party to Washington In order that the
organization of the next house might
be arranged In advance of its meeting
next December. The plan also was to
smooth out any difficulties well In adj
vance.
The present arrangement is, If there
shall be no extra session of congress,
to call the Republican majority in the
next house together some time in the
late fall prior to the December con-
vening of congress. The idea is to
have all arrangements made for or
ganization, and if possible to secure
In advance some kind of arrangement
by which party legislation can be in
sured without danger of having the
ranks split into factions as they have
been split in the congress just closed.
The Republican majority in the house
in the Sixty-seventh congress was 100;
In the Sixty-eighth congress its control
will be only IL votes, which, unless
there is actual harmony, represents no
certainty of control at all.
The Republicans In the next house
will miss the time-tried leadership of
several men. James r. Mann of I'LL
nois, long time Republican floor lead
er, died recently Frank w. Mondell,
leader in the Sixty-seventh congress,
was retired to private life, and Joseph
w. Fordney of Michigan, an old Re
publican wheel-horse, has decided to
leave public life. Joseph G. Cannon
also departs, but owing to the infirmi-
ties of years Mr.. Cannon has not been
as active a leader as was the case
once upon q time.
