I arrived In New York on the 14lh of April and next day showed up at the Morgenthuler plant to start "learnln"" the linotype Hastus had come to town, plenty green to grow, tho not Hharp enough to Htlck up. Four weeks In the factory and I r?ali/.ed how little I knew; hut hack to Charleston, and oil May 14, 1 erected the first machine In the office of The Evening i'ost. Fltz Hugh Mc?

Waring, editor ol the paper; Joseph Harhot, now city i h-rk of Charleston was a reporter. All of Hose men are yet living. In the latter part of November. ivn<, I was "IIred." I traveled home it lew days, thence to New York, for several days of work oh The New York Journal, not very long after William Randolph Hearst had become owner of the paper. On January f>, ik'.i'.i, I went to Amsterdam, N. Y., to take a job on the Sentinel at that place. Arrived late in the afternoon and found the thermometer registered 2'i degrees below zero?nice day, and along with It I was "enjoying" it very severe headache. Soon had a room engaged and went to bod. Next day erected a machine in the Sentinel office and that afternoon and night set the type for the first Issue of the paper that was machine set. Some day's work. After 13 months I was "llrod" again. Went over to Massucliusettes and got work in a big Worcheater plant?at night. Worked there for a couple weeks and fired myself.

Nobody looks for work any more. Heck. no. There was a time when the odd-jobs man was at the door every day or two. He made a living i at it. mnjues!ionahly, for through long years he kept presenting himself. Nobody begs on the streets. Long since these knights of the wheedling voice have taken up their abodes In transient camps or in the other havens provided1 by a beneficial government. Nobody desires any longer to swap swings of an axe for last year's garments The relief agencies take these out of your closets, and perhaps the same man gets them who would have had taken ihein lor chopping wood. What, wit it much circumlocution, we're pointing out is that the inefficient fringe of humanity lias declared a supine indifference to self help. This does not concern the hordes ot able-bodied effectives who were ui1- | fortunate and took relief only because they could not, in spite of their persistence. help themselves. It does concern that half working, half-char 11 > -seeking group which has! 11? \ r had ambition, and which never will, and which makes its devious.

This ribbon Is cut Into squares, which are stacked * with a sheet of vellum or tough puI per between the pieces. The pile I la lncloaed In n parchment case, j placed on u'marble tuble, and beat-r ert with a heavy hammer until each (ilece ban spread to a square of about three and one-half Inches. | These squares are quartered. Each i small piece Is next placed between : layers of "goldbeater's skin," a i tough membrane prepared from the Intestines of cattle. The skins are dusted with line plaster of Furls to prevent sticking, and beating Is continued with a lighter hammer until the gold Is again about three and one-half Inches square. Another quartering and beating then yields foil of the proper thickness. The ti rut I pieces are trimmed to about three and one quurter Inches square . and are packed between leaves of ducted paper in hooks, each containing pieces, (iold used for beating usually Is about lk'1 karats line. _ -X ^ y._.. . _ \v How Cayenne Pepper Is Made From Dwarf Shrub Cnyenno popper is a hot and punsent powder made by drying and grinding the fruits or seeds of several species of the genus Capsicum, especially Capsicum aniiuum and Capsicum frutescens. There are about tldrty species, natives of Central and South America. I hey are now grown In various parts of the world both for the fruit and for ornament. The principal source of cayenne pepper is O. annuurn, the spur or goat pepper, a dwarf shrub, n native of Eolith America, hub commonly cultivated in the Mast Indies, It produces n *mnll, narrow, bright red pod, having very pungent properties. Cayenne opper is manufactured from tlie ripe ruits, which are dried, ground, mixed .vlth wheat flour and made into cakes with yeast; (lie cakes.are baked until lard like biscuit and then ground and <iftod. The popper is sometimes pre aared by simply drying the pods and pounding thorn flue in n mortar. How Wheels Have Developed T he wheel lias been traced far back Into antiquity. At first it was merely a circular cut from a tree trunk and j records show that It was used by the [ primitive Indo-European peoples <po<>0 or fi.000 years ago. Wheels In the form of circular discs, either cut out of solid pieces of wood or formed of separate planks of wood fastened together and then cut Into a circular shape were used for various purposes by the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians in the early periods of their history. Later, the wheels of t heir chariots had spokes. The Egyptians and Assyrians generally used six spokes; the Creeks and Romans from four to eight. How Handles Are Bent Hickory will warp or twist If left outdoors, and many ax handles develop a "kink" for this reason. This tonden'ey to warp can be overcome to a large extent by rubbing kerosene into die handle before using and repeating this once or twice a year. If handle stock is seasoned by suspending it from one end any tendency to warp will show up much m??re readily than when the stick is laid Hat. If a curved handle is needed for a shovel or pitchfork tho stick'shoult he bent while green and allowed to become thoroughly dry before finishing. How Paper I> Watermarked When the pulp is ready to be made into paper it Is poured out upon an endless clnth marie of tine brass wire. This cloth travels constantly in mie direction by means of rollers and is given at the same time a sort of vibratory motion to cause the paper fiber to become more closely felted together. On the wire cloth web are woven words or designs in wire that rise above the rest of the surface. These words or designs are transferred to the paper, making what are called water marks. How Bills Are Introduced Each hill Introduced into the congress follows the same initial procedure.
