The superiority of the American mechanic has been attributed to the s-uitlus of the climate, but Herr Muel- ler, who was sent to the United States by a German soceity to investigate mechanical methods, attributes it to "better payments" the lesser use of alcoholic stimulants and the fact that his social position depends entirely upon himself. This Boy Will Be a Success. Philadelphia North American.

He returned, gave the alarm, and this prevented much damage. This was re- pott •(i to the head of the firm, who sent for Willie. "You have done me a very great ser- vice, et, my lad," said the chief.

If collars and cuffs are threaded on a piece of tape or string and tied on a clothes line it prevents dirty peg marks and does not pull the ends of the collars out of shape. The proper way to dry woolens, says a large inauufacturer of woolen goods, is to hang the garments on the line dripping wet without wringing out at all.
