often uvut'loultcil In counting: foat of

litns are li' V"Rtn In different iiiilllb
t rial etalillHliinonts, and each ninn
iiRcmcnt liollcnes, of I'oitnie, tliat Its
partliMilar method is the lust. In one
eotalillchnii'nt, for example, Instruc
tions when onee id von hy the niauaper
i" an ovcrai-i-r or hos-s must always
he cirrled out literally; any divlatlon
th-iefrnm In ittranled as an r.nwar

liotis In order to meet ci ruiln nnlooUed
('I' contlniseni'lis which nrli (turlna:
the i)iiijjie!' of the work and In the al-i-elu-e
of the nuinntter. Although It
was evident tliat the work had been
successfully peifonned at much less
cost to the employer hy reason of the
chaiiKcs, It w-is to'-n out at the order
of tho immnirpr r.nd rceonstru' ted In
strict aci.'onl.uiep tilth his directions;
and the oveiseer was severely repri
manded for luivlim; departed from Ills
Instiuctlons. The puipose was. riiiulit
U'ss, to teach a lessen of absolute and
Invariable ob"dlenee to orders. This
piotvdure was perfectly propel from
the standpoint of the maiuiKement,
and it is not now mentioned for the
purpose; of criticism, lull meic-ly by
way of Illustration.
li. another establishment of equal or
i ven greater Importance the opposite
principle prevails. The manager, to
vhmn all matters of Importance in the
internal atfairs of the concern are re
ferred, visits the various departments
il-illy, and elves minute directions nnd
instructions to the overseers, precise
ly as Is the custom In the shops already
loeiitloiud. II Is. however, well under
stood by all the subordinates In these
works that the diieetlons, no matter
how explicit they may h:ii been, are
in t really cast iron rules, but are sus
ceptible of modification within reaon
ibte limits. Kxpcrlent e has taught
these overfe'ers that whenever such
modifications result In better or quick
er work the author of the changed
leeihods. Instead of being r.-sarded as
i culprit. If it-warded for his Ingenuity
and skill. A specific Instance of this
kind which occurred neently may be
mentioned in Illustration of this meth
od. A large irtoam hammer upon which
much' work of a hurried kind depended
.iddenly got out of order, and the fact
wis at once reported to the manatrer.
lb- Insoected the hammer, then called
.i leitaln boss, and sain to him: "You
ill lime to tnko tills hammer off of
us foundation and re-set it. Your re
quisition for helpers will be honored
!" as nittny men as you can crowd on
! the Job; they can be as thick as
'llrs m a molasses bairtl, for we must
h.ive the hammer at work airain as
mmiii as possible." The manager then
ii'tsed on to inspect the work of tho
1 1 hoi- numerous departments. The
i"-erseer or boss Immediately made a
thorouifh insDeetion of the hammer,
' bought out a method which obviated
the necps-dty of raising the pondcious
machine from its base, and which re
quired only a handful of men to do
the work. These few mechanics were
t mica detailed, and the overseer then
went away t look utter some other
work In another room. Some time lat-
r the manager lnppened unexpectedly
again to pass by the hammer; he was
.unazed to find that apparently little
or no work had been done. "Where's
?" h called; "send him here Im
medlntoly " When the mm appeared
ihe manager, restraining his astonish
ment and nngr, said quietly: "Tom,
.ncn wli; you have this hammer work
ing nguln?" "In r.Unit four hours,
dr." Kild the boss. The hammer was
repaired and put to work within that
time, which wns at least six hours
winner thun the manager had thought
It possible. The next morning the
mana?er said to tnls overseer: "Your
work on that hammer deserves more
than the thanks of the firm. Your
wanes will bo Increased to $ from
this time on."
o
This is a perfectly true and fresh
Incident which ha.s probably now per
colated through all the shops of the
great establishment, nnd which will, no
doubt, stimulate other overseers nnd
workmen to exercise their brains In
devising better methods of conducting
the work under their charge, knowing
that both thanks and substantial re
wnrds nro awaiting all successful ef
forts In such directions.
o
' It Is, perhaps, equally surprising to
observe tho difference of customs that
prevails In different Industrial estab
lishments In regard to llttlo social
amenities between masters and men.
In som places mechanics como to their
work day after day, year nfter year,
nnd never receive nor expect to re
ceiveeven a nod of recognition from
superintendents, managers or members
ot firms, Bo general Is UiIb rule In
large jshops Unit any deviation from
custom oxeltes surprise. In one of these
great icstabllshments some years ago
an cxperfwas engaged whoso duties
required him to Inspect daily some fea
tures of the work In the shops, and to
Visit various machines. He naturally,
IBM
without any thought, followed his
usual custom nnd said "Oood morn
ing" to cneh mnehlne nttendnnt. Some
of the men showed utter Indifference to
this polite salute; others looked uiinils
tnknbly surprised; still others appar
ently almost resulted the Innocent re
mark. One Individual In particular In
vnrlnbly scowled and growled nt the
work which this expert was tlolnff.
Day after day the same reception from
this man was received. Finally, after
more than three years had elapsed, the
expert was nstonlshed one morning to
see n cordial mlle coming Involun
tarily over the countenance of this
Bloomy mechanic; the man extended
his linntl and said In n loud tone: "
it, it's no use trylns to make you
mad; I'll kIvc It up." From Hint day
forward these men were mutual
friends, nnd the inornlnK greeting was
ever after cordially reciprocated by the
converted mechanic. The experiments
of the expert were In a measure depend
ent for their success upon the verdict
of these mechanics, nnd a friendly sen
timent between himself and the men
was therefore desirable, apart from the
natural disposition of friendliness which
originally prompted the expert to Bay
"Oood monilns" dajly.
AXECIIOTKS or JUUIUS.
A .llnlno Iilquor Denier Who Snt ns n
(irniiil Juror In His Own Case.
From the Boston Transcript,
A clear Instance of Us being- really
a privilege to sit as n juror waa that
of a Maine liquor dealer, wh'o, us a
member of the strand jury, lately con
sidered hlu own case of keeping a liquor
nuisance, and who persuaded himself
and hfs fellows that l o cause, for in
dictment existed, although a legal
seizure of liquors had been made on
his premises.
Another such was where a juror ob
stinately stood out against nil his fol
lows and the judge in his refurnl to
Ilnil guilty n man accused of murder
with ii pitchfork, although the accused
had been seen to run away from a
quarrel with one who soon afterwards
was found stabbed to death, tt sub
equontly trinplred that the juror,
who thus forced a disagreement, had
clandestinely done the stabbing him
self, and had, some way. Intentionally
got upon the jury so as to prevent the
accused being punched.
The above grand Juryman, ircused
of keeping a nuisance, came Into court
with a b?tter appreciation of the mean
ing of the word nuisance than did a
jury which was charged by the court
at great length on the true definition
of that word; before sending this Jury
out. the court hoped they understood
what he had laid down, whereto the
fireman assented, adding that they all
agreed they never knew what a nuis
ance was till they heard the court's
summing up! They possibly felt to
ward the judge as did a Mormon cor
ona's jury toward an obnoxious Gen
tile who was found plain; a verdict
was returned In accordance with this
fact, alleging as the cause of death of
deceased, "II needed killing." A Jury
will sometimes, im In this Instance,
Identify themselves In Intel est with
the culnilt, as did also these "twelve
good men and true" who acquitted the
victim of -j sham marriage, proved to
have poisoned her deceiver; they man
ufactured a ground of insanity, but the
real ground was privately expressed
as "served him right."

The death of Clcorge M. Tubman re
calls a story told about bis adventure
with Abraham Lincoln. In the early days
of sleeping curs two men slept In one,
berth. One day a tall, lanky man en
gaged n berth from Pullman. Pullman
bunded him the check and said: "I snail
sell the other check to that berth to an
other man, of course." The lanky man
wound himself up to his full height ; then
unwound himself again. "Young man."
he said. "Ihe person who can get Into one
of your berths when I am wound up In It
Is welcome to the accommodation.'- This
man wus Abraham Lincoln.

commented on the length of the speech.
"Yes." said Mr. lieecher. he didn't want

It."

Now York, Feb. 3. The strength of
today's stock market wns conllned to
spots und the general tendency con
tinued towards a lower plane on re
alizing sales. 1'ressuro by the bear
traders were marked and the outsldo
support afforded by buying orders
through commission houses was con
siderably less. There was n strong
tone In a few Individual stocks, and
advances In others were brought about
by manipulation. All causes combined,
however, did not avail to maintain
prices In the general list and the aver
age level of the market sagged to n
lower basis. Total sales were 309,000
shares.

General Jim Lane, of Kansas, may have
been a good lighter, but he knew precious
little nbout military tactics or the ne
cessity for strategy in military move
ments. The editor of the Columbus
(Kan.) Courier last Week related a story
which ho heard upon arriving In Bour
bon county Just at the close of the war
Which illustrates Lane's lark of military
skill, and at the samo time presents a
phase of the old fellow's character which
will bo readily recognized by his war time
associates. Lane had established Fort
Lincoln a short distance north of Fort
Scott In the early days ot the war. It
wns situated at the bottom of a little
valley whlei' was surrounded on every
sldo by IiIl, mounds. One dny an In
specting oiileer of the engineer corps of
tho regular army arrived, and was as
tonished to discover the strategic lacking
which marked tho location of the post.
"Who located this fort?" ho inquired
of Lane, who wns In command.
"I did, sir," icspouded the general.
"Well, uenc ral, this location Is exceed
ingly disadvantageous. The enemy could
come up on any ono of these mounds
and shell you out. and you would bo
practically helpless "
"I' thought of that sir: I thought ot
that," said General Lane, with the ut
most gravity: "but at the same time I
thought, If the fort was captuied, how
easy It would be to recapture It. sir."
