OCR Text	Show Precise A laborer in a shipyard was one day given a two foot rule to measure a piece of iron plate. Not beiDg accustomed to the use of the rule, he returned it, after wasting a good deal of time. "Well, Mike," asked his superior officer, "what is the size of the plate?" 'Well," replied Mike, with the smile which accompanies duty performed, "it's the length of your rule and two thumbs over, with this piece of brick and the breadth of my baud and arm, from here to there, bar a finger." Youth's Companion.
