We are apt to think that our Puri- tan forbears possessed all the virtues and especially that they were highly abstemious in the matter of drinking, But that is not the testimony that comes down to us from their dining- room appointments, according to Wal- ter A. Dyer's “Early American Crafts men.” “Drinking vessels of various sorts, with and without handles, were very numerous,” says Mr, Dyer. “Drink- ing as a social and ceremonial cus tom was more common in the eight. eenth century than it is today, and its equipment was somewhat claborate “In New England, especially, the quantities of cider consumed were astounding, the good fathers appar- ently living according to the letter of the text, ‘Stay me with flagons, com- fort me with apples.’ “There were tankards, six or seven inches high, with S-shaped handles, straight, tapering sides and hinged COVErs; Cans or mugs, somewhat smaller, usually with curved sides and without flagons, like larger tankarcs, commonly used with com- i tumbler-shaped slices and caudle cup: COVers: gorvice GREAT TRIBUTE TO WORKER Carlyle Recognized Worth of Toiler Who Labored for His and Others’ Daily Bread.

AC Hollow Bricks Popular, During the past few years the use of hollow blocks and hollow bricks has extended rapidly. These are muc! lighter than solid bricks and affect important saving in rajllway carriage but they must be distinguished from porous bricks. The weight alone is not a sufficient guide, as hollow bricks are now made which are indistinguish- able in appearance from solid bricks When cut or broken their hollowness is easily seen. On the continent por. ous bricks are defined ag having a weight which is notably less than common bricks, but this definition will have to be abandoned now that hol low bricks are made in large numbers Lack Staying Power. It is astonishing how men lack this power of “holding on" until they reach the goal. They can make a sud. den dash, but they lack grit. They are easily discouraged. They get on as long as everything goes smoothly, but when there is friction they lose heart. They depend on stronger personalities for their spirit and strength, They lack independence and orginality. They dare only do what others do. They do mot step boldly from the crowd and act fesrlessly. ~Theodore Cuyler, OF RR WANTED —Men at Once, To act as Detectives in all parts of granted to the undersigned, he | the State.
