Do the stockholders of a cotton or
a woolen miil have to visit the mill to
know if their agents or operatives are
skillful and faithful ? And would they
know any better if thev did ? Do they
look for the results of that mill work—
the semi-annual dividends, and the price
of the stock in the market ? That tells
the story far plainer than the clatter of
the looms and whirl ol the spindles.
If a barrel of flour is given to a cook,
it is not by visiting the kitchen and see
ing her mix dough, and standing in her
way and asking questions that we know
she is capable of her profession. We
find that out at the tnble, when the
bread is ready for use. It is then that
