MAKE DYESTUFFS
IN UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, April 9—Six big
manufacturing plants in the New Eng
land states will be used to manufac
ture dyestuffs needed by American cot
ton mills in order that they may con
tinue operations. The government ex
perts will give every aid to the in
fant industry and will try to make the
United States independent of Ger
many as far as dyestuffs are concern
ed. The raw material for the manu
facture of the dyes is in the United
States in plenty but many of the pro
cesses heretofore used have been
kept a secret. Chemists of the De
partment of Agriculture have been
working- upon the question of manu
facturing dyes and have succeeded
very well and new dyes will soon be
on the market made in America. Ger
man patents cannot be used unless
permission is granted by the owners
of the patent rights.

*irst Legislative Assembly Met at
Jamestown, Va., In 1619.
The first representative legislative
isscmbly ever held in America con
vened at Jamestown, Va., in July, 1019,
t year before the pilgrims landed at
Plymouth and a decade before the
Massachusetts Bay colony was begun,
it consisted of the governor, Sir George
Sfeardley, his council, two burgesses
Mooted by each of the eleven incorpo
rated plantations. The assembly sat In
die chanced of the little church where
iive years before Pocahontas had been
married to John Itolfe. John Twine,
the clerk of tile assembly, says in his
Alicia I report:
“The most convenient place wc
coulde Glide to sitt in was the quire
if the church where Sir George Yeard
ley, the governour, being sett down in
Ills accustomed place, those of the
counsel of estate sate uexte him on
both handes, excepte onely the secre
tary, then appointed speaker, who sate
right before him, John Twine, clerke
of tlie general assembly, being placed
nexte the speaker, and Thomas Pierse,
the sergeant, standing at the barre, to
lie ready for any service the assembly
should require. But forasmuch as
men’s affairs doe little prosper where
God’s service is neglected, all the bur
gesses took their places in the quire
till a prayer was said by Mr. Bucke,
the minister, that it would please God
to guide and sunctifie all our proceed
ings to his owne glory and the goode
of this plantation.”—-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
COAL MINERS’ CLOCKS.
Telling the Time of Day by a Lamp or
an Oil Flask.
Do you know that every minor when
descending into the pit to work takes
with him a couple of clocks? These
are not ordinary timepieces, for they
have neither wheels, spriugs, dials nor
any of the usual appurtenances. The
“clocks” are simply his lamp and oil
flask. By noting the quantity of oil
consumed—or that left—the miner can
tell to within a few minutes any hour
of the day or night.
When a miner's lamp goes out, as it
not infrequently does, in almost any
circumstances he must not relight it
himself. Instead, though he may be
left in pitch darkness, he must grope
his way to the lamp cabin or to some
other point where he can obtain the
proper assistance. lie does the “grop
ing” with his hands, stooping down
until he touches the tram lines along
which the coal is taken, and sliding
his hands along the metal until he
reaches his destination or meets some
one going in the same direction.
A coal hewer’s earnings depend on
the weight of coal he gets and also on
the number of fathoms cut. A cubic
yard of coal weighs about eighteen
hundredweight, and the outstretched
arms of an average man extend to
about one fathom. By these measure
ments, independent of the official ones,
each man can roughly calculate his
earnings for any particular “shift.”—
London Tit-Bits.
What Is Dissipation?
I think sometimes that our common
definition of dissipation is far too nar
row. We confine it to crude excesses
in the use of intoxicating liquor or the
crude gratification of the passions, but
often these are only the outward sym
bols of a more subtle inward disorder.
The things of the world—a thousand
.clamoring interests, desires, posses
sions—have got the better of us. Men
become drunken with the inordinate
desire for owning things and dissolute
with ambition for political office. I
knew a man once, a farmer, who de
bauchedlhimself upon land: fed his ap
petite upon the happiness of his home,
cheated his children of education, and
himself went shabby, bookless, joy
less. comfortless, that lie might buy
more land. 1 call that dissipation too.
