The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. HAD AN UNWELCOME VISITOR STEEL SQUARES FROM SAWS PLAYTIME OF BACHELOR BILL DR. WILSON'S GOOD PRAYER VOL. 22. NO. 13. John Philip Sousa has had some experiences decidedly out of the ordinary, but he himself is authority for the statement that he met with the most unusual, and perhaps the most terrifying, in a quiet little town in provincial England. "It was almost as bad as Edgar Alan Poe come to life," says he, before indicating the happening. "It was before and at the Alhambra last Spring, and at the Alhambra last most trying. On the night in question had turned in the very first minute I could get away after the evening concert, and I remember I was so tired that I never touched the fruit and sandwiches always left in my bedroom. I slept like a log, of course, though once I wakened (as I recalled the next morning), thinking I heard the plate pushed about on the lunch table. I think I sat up in bed and looked around, but I'm sure I saw and I was asleep again an instant! "Next morning I was conscious of the entry of the man with the hot water, but what brought me really to my souces was his exclamation that The first steel square was made by Silas Hawes at South Shaffertbury, VT, ninety-five years ago, and the industry is still carried on at the same place. Hawes was a blacksmith and wheelwright and was called upon to do repairing to the cart of a pedder. These fellows were and are ductant to let any hard coin get away from them and whenever possible they paid their bills by making some sort of trade. On this particular occasion the pedder had in his cart a number of saws which had been discarded as worn past redemption and Hawes, conceiving the idea that he could make use of them, took several of them in lieu of saws and the work he had done. He cut these lengths of metal up into suitable sizes and made squares and rules of them. The tools became popular at once Away back in the forties George E. Brickett and Moses S. Wilson were classmates in college and were also roommates. In after life both became eminent and highly respected members of the medical profession. Many thousand people in Maine and all over New England will remember Dr. George E. Brickett as surgeon in charge of the Cony United States general hospital at Augusta, Maine, during the civil war. Dr. Wilson practiced medicine in Lincoln, Maine, for upward of fifty years. Both Brickett and Wilson were decidedly of the "wide&wake" class of students. Wilson, especially, was of a wild, rollicking nature, not in the least inclined to "serious" thoughts. A revival of religion of more than usual interest, was in progress, and many of the students were drawn into ST. PAUL AND MINNES What's a This Marvellous New P Great Steamships a Like a Series of Pinw with Blades to D using One old man passed me with a strange glitter in his eye. His left hand was thrust into his breast and his shifting, restless glance made me shudder. What was the secret thing he carried in his bosom for a blessing? Strangely attracted, I moved toward him, but a soft sibilian hiss made me see snakes and I gave him a wide berth. A small pig followed the padre as he wound his way through the crowd. San Antonio Abad is always followed by a pig, and in some Italian city there is a famous painting called "The Saint and His Page." the page in this case being a pig. A woman behind me couldn't understand this, but an Irishman explained it to her satisfaction by suggesting that the pig represented gluttony and to cast out that devil was the greatest miracle of all. There was a good deal of kicking and jumping about to begin with, but whether the beasts were hypnotized by the shining crucifix that preceded the path the Irish him soul was touched by the dread of himself, I can not tell. I do know that as the little procession came out of the church door a silence fell over the square. The animals stood immovable. Even the parrots stopped their chattering and I heard quite clearly the sound of a humming bee among the red blossoms of a tree. the room was 'all in a mess'. It surely was. There were black footprints everywhere, on the furniture, on the carpet, even on the dresser; the bed itself being about the only spot not trodden upon. The sandwiches were gone; so was the fruit. As I climbed into my dressing gown I had a hazy idea of discovering a tramp some where about, but a moment later I found the footprints came from a big climber and apparently returned them again. "We'll smoke him out," said I. "Before the blaze from the morgue's paper had got a good start there tumbled down from that chinchaw a baboon nearly as big as I am. The way the valet and I got out into the hall was a sight to see. We shammed the door after us and sent in an alarm. Twenty minutes later one of the keepers from a nearby circus was unconcernedly leading off the tame, meekest monkey of his size in the water. "But it was a startling thing to have happen before breakfast! There was a little too much of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue; about it." and sold for $5 and $6, most of the business being done through the peddler who had been the means on bringing the saws to Mr. Hawes. At first the blacksmith made the tools only at odd times when he had nothing else on hand, but the demand became so great that he had to make special tools for their manufacture, and the industry one of rather imposing proportions. Mr. Hawes had been engaged in the manufacture of the squares for several years before it occurred to him to take out a patent on the new implement. He did this ultimately and began the manufacture of them in earnest, erecting a factory for this purpose. The plant has been enlarged several times, but square stools are now made on the site where the first one was laboriously formed by the old blacksmith.

DRAWN FROM TOY MODEL OR TURNING STATIONARY WHITE BLADES - REVOL the vortex. But no one supposed that Mose Wilson could be affected or influenced in the slightest degree by any religious movement. Brickett one evening strolled into the revival meeting, as much out of curiosity 'as anything, and, to his great surprise, saw Wilson there on his knees, in the midst of a very fervent prayer, which greatly moved the hearts of all his hearers. After meeting was over Brickett and Wilson went directly to their room. Wilson's sudden conversion was so surprising that Brickett, out of delicacy, refrained from mentioning the matter to his friend, and the subject was not mentioned by either until, Juniper getting ready to jump into the room, was able to solemnity of an elder, turned to his friend with the question: "Brickett, didn't I make a darned prayer." Defective Page What's a Turbine Engine? This Marvellous New Plan for Driving Great Steamships across the Ocean is Like a Series of Pinwheels on a Shaft with Blades to Direct the Current using Steam instead of Air. DRAWN FROM TOY MODEL OF TURBINE SHOWING PRINCIPLE OF MOVABLE AND STATIONARY BLADES GRAY BLADES STATIONARY WHITE BLADES PREVOLVING THE Every schoolboy knows what a pinwheel is and how by blowing he can spin, outside the ranks of engineers who have any but the vague idea of what a turbine is. Therefore, it may astonish many people to know that a turbine is nothing but a series of pinwheels, one behind the other, fixed to a shaft which turns with them. The breath with which the boy blows a turbine is nothing but steam is substituted, and fixed to the inside of the cylinder in which the pinwheels revolve is a series of stationary blades projecting into the space between each wheel and set at such an angle that they will deflect the stream of steam to strike the pinwheels at the angle which will give the most force. The is the simplest description of turbine ever written. Williams, member of the institution of Williams and Shipbuilders in Scotland, and a famous avail architect, in the introduction to its book on turbine steamers: "The Parsons turbine consists of a cylindrical case with numerous rings of inwardly projecting blades. Within this cylinder, which is of variable internal diameter, is a shaft or spindle, and on this spindle are mounted blades. The diameter of the spindle is less than the internal diameter of cylindrical cases and thus an annular space is left open. The space is occupied by the blades, and it is through these the steam flows. The steam enters the cylinder by means of an annular port at the forward end; it meets a ring of fixed guide blades which deflects it so that it strikes the adjoining ring of moving blades at such an angle that it exerts on them a rotary impulse. When the steam leaves these blades it has naturally been deflected. The second ring of fixed blades is therefore intermittent. When the steam on to the second ring of rotating blades the same thing occurs with succeeding rings of guide and moving blades until the steam escapes at the exhaust passage." Any boy of average intelligence can make a turbine that will run a good-sized boat, but unless he has had some experience in the use of tools and solder he will do well to employ a tinsmith to help him. The model tinmith, and the picture here was made of tin, and the picture there was the principle upon which it works. The upper half of the cylinder having been removed. This little machine is exactly the same in principle as that which drives the giant Cunard steamer Carmania across the Atlantic. But these differences must be noted: Where the model has only five rings of eight blades each the turbine of a steamer has perhaps a hundred rings, each composed of many hundreds of blades, as may be seen in the upper picture; and the stationary blades on the inside of the cylinder are equally numerous. This is the only essential difference, and it is one of proportion, and not of principle. You can make a model such as this, buy a square steel shaft one-eighth of an inch in diameter and five inches long; turn it round in a lathe, or turn it turned if you possess no nolte for three-eighths of an inch at each end. Get a tinsmith to stamp five circles of thin tin, each one inch in diameter. and to bore a square hole one-eighth of an inch in diameter in the exact center of each. With a pair of shears cut eight radiating slits in each of these disks, and with a pair of pincers twist the blades thus formed until they lie like the blades of a propeller at an angle of about forty-five degrees. Solder these upon the shaft, spaced evenly. This is the spindle of the turbine. Have a tinsmith cut and bend two pieces of tin three and three-quarter inches long and of such width that form a cylinder together they will form a cylinder one-eighth inches in diameter. Place your gildle with its blades in these half-cylinders and with a pencil mark a line exactly in the middle between each ring of blades. Upon these lines must be soldered the stationary blades. PEAL. The easiest way to make these blades is to cut strips of tin about one-half inch in diameter and in length to at the inside of each of your half cylinders before bending these, cut them into teeth, shaped like the teeth of a saw; with a pair of pincers bend their teeth back, being careful that they point in the direction opposite to the blades on the shaft. Then solder these strips of teeth upon your half cylinders along the lines drawn with your pencil. A cap for each end of the cylinder must be made of tin bored in the center for the ends of the shaft, and having two one-segment inch holes cut in each, opposite to each other, those on the fore end to receive the steam and those at the rear the exhaust. Before soldering the two halves of the cylinder together and the caps on each end place the spindle in position, see that its blades do not engage the stationary teeth and that the latter point in the direction opposite to the former. You may find it necessary to solder a tiny washer or two at one end or Shaft of Real Turbine Showing the Blades. the other to prevent the shaft from slipping back and forth and the teeth from catching, but if the tin has been carefully cut the square part of the shaft should just touch the inside of the cylinder head and tail-piece and thus hold it rigid. Buy five cents' worth of one-eighth inch brass or copper tubing, attach it to the two holes in the cylinder head and connect it with your boiler, which had better buy at some shop where they sell mechanical toys, though you can make it yourself without difficulty, or have a tinsmith make it for you. The steam will enter at the two holes, one on either side, and strike the first circle of stationary blades which you have been careful to bend to an angle which will turn it to strike the first of the circle of blades upon the shaft; these in turning defect it, but the second circle of stationary blades will again turn it to strike the second circle of blades upon the shaft at the right angle and so on, until the steam has done its work upon each of the five "pinwheels" and it flies out at the two exhaust holes. You can mount a fly-wheel or a screw propeller upon the rear end of your shaft and you will be astonished SHOWING PRINCIPLE OF MOVABLE AND STORING at the speed with which it revolves. A boy who has been through a good manual training school will be able to make a turbine of brass, which will be more serviceable than that of tin, but he should file out his blades, both the stationary and moving ones, and make them much more numerous and of much smaller size than it is possible to make of tin. It is not necessary to go into the details of such a turbine, for any boy who has be able to discover how. On an ocean steamers—and there are now many operated by turbines, the new Allan liners, the boats that cross the English channel and several warships and yachts, besides the giant Carmania—the spindle of the turbine gradually increases in size, to make better use of the expansion of the steam, and on many three turbines are used, one operated by high pressure steam, one intermediate and one low pressure. The turbine is really very simple for after all it is nothing but a series of pinwheels on a shaft. VAST PRODUCTIVITY OF CHINA One Fact That Has Greatly Impressed Sir Ian Hamilton. One of the impressions which Sir Ian Hamilton of the British army obtained while accompanying the Japanese army in Manchuria and which he describes in his "Scrap Book of a Staff Officer" is the tremendous productive power of the Chinese. He says that he never saw anywhere in the world men work more industrially and in some respects more intelligently, and this upon a basis of compensation infinitesimally small when compared with that demanded in the western world. He entirely supports the contention of the labor leaders of the United States that Chinese labor is more experienced, because he affirms that it were expected, because it competed with the ordinary labor of America it could not fall to acquire an ascendency over it, not on account of degraded habits and methods of living, but simply because the Chinese put their shoulder to the wheel of work with a determination and persistence which workmen elsewhere do not exhibit.—Boston Herald. Uncle Samuel's Exports. Uncle Sam's leading markets, next to the United Kingdom, Germany and France, are Belgium and the Netherlands, almost the smallest of European countries. The United Kingdom is the largest European purchaser of American commodities, Germany next, then France, then the Netherlands, then Belgium. The total exports from America to the Netherlands amounted in 1905 to $73,000,000, and America's exports to the Netherlands to practically $22,000,000. Belgium in 1905 amounted to $85,500,000, and our total imports therefrom practically $26,000,000 resulting in a total of $160,000,000 of trade with these two small countries whose combined area is less than that of the state of Ohio and whose combined population is but $12,000,000. Civil Above Military Rule The English public will probably await with interest the result of the action of John Morley, secretary of state for India, who has just indicated his purpose to recognize the supremacy of the civil government in matters relating to the conduct of affairs in India, even including military affairs. The clash between Lord Curton and Gen. Lord Kitchener over exactly this point was decided by the Balfour ministry in favor of the latter. Mr. Morley's purpose may bring about a resignation of Lord Kitchener, just as Mr. Balfour's decision brought about the resignation of Lord Curton, and just how the English people will receive this turning down of one of their great military heroes is problematical.—Boston Herald. New Turbine Locomotive After turbine steamers, turbine locomotives. Prof. Johann Stumpf of Charlottenburg, Germany, has secured patents on an adaptation of the steam turbine to locomotives. He proposes to divide the turbine into stages, distributing one on each driving axle of the locomotive, and the steam from the boiler to pass through the several stages in succession. A turbine is mounted on the axle on the outside of each driving wheel. With three driving axles the steam is conveyed by a pipe from the boiler to the first turbine on the one side, then to the other. It is then in succession conveyed to the three turbines on the other side of the locomotive, from the third of which the steam pipe leads the exhaust to the exhaust blast nozzle. High Praise for Tobacco At the University club banquet in Washington a few nights ago they gave "Uncle Joe" Cannon a cigar three feet long. It may or may not have been made of tobacco. Representative Longworth, returning to his duties in the House after his honeymoon, brought for Uncle Joe a cigar made of the best Havana tobacco and about eighteen inches long. Uncle Joe took it, smelled of it, turned it over and over, and caressed it lovingly. "By gum, Nick," he said, "it looks good enough to put cream on and eat."

AFRO AMERICAN SUFFRAGE Views of Senator Shelby M. Cullom and Senator Albert J. Hopkins Thereon. Special Correspondence THE APPEAL Washington, March 28 - But for the plea of Mr. Joseph Davis, the night Joseph Davis, an Afro-American, would have been a victim of lynch law on Pennsylvania avenue. Davis was arrested, charged with robbing the money drawer of Hing Lee, a Chiman, proprietor of a laundry. Despite the spite the large crowd, was unusually quiet, when suddenly rang out the cry: "Clatch him! thief! Him steele my money!" Pedestrians turned to look for the cause of the cries. They saw a thick, poorly dressed man, running for dear life, closely followed by a Chiman in native costume. Instantly the avenue was in an uprear. Both women and joined in the pursuit, and for Four-and-a-half street the man was brought to bay. For a few minutes it looked dark for Davis. That there was more than one hot-headed man in the crowd was evidence from the cries. Kicked, and thrown on the pavement. When the police arrived he was badly bruised and cut by the blows received from men in the crowd. The presence of the police quieted the cries, joyfully disfigured and trembling with fear, was taken to the station house. In accordance with the report of the Committee on Elections, Jonah K. Kalianouale, Delegate from Hawaii, was seated. The代表 for his seat was Curtis P. Malek. John C. McGowan, supposed to be the only person who escaped from Liberty Prison in daylight, died in this Mr. McGowan had been bedridden for nine years as a result of disease contracted when confined in the rebel prison. Mr. McGowan was born in New York City. At the outbreak of the civil war, when he was living in Baltimore, he enlisted in and became color bearer of the First Maryland Regiment, United States Volunteers. He managed to escape, and was retaken and sent to Belle Isle Prison and afterward transferred to Libby from which he escaped. Congressman Watson, of Indiana, whose State recently passed an antigraft law, will introduce a bill this week leaving a tax of 1 cent on each 100 sheets of cigarette papers. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, whose second term will close next March, is engaged in writing "A Defense of the Senate" for publication. The President has nominated James W.

Warren Kuffer has been remonitated for Congress by acclaim the convention of Seventh district Republicans at Springfield, Ohio. Advices from Chicago are to the effect that William Lorimer will be returned to Congress next fall with no opposition from his own party. There has been talk of an opposition candidate but he failed to materialize. This will be grafting news to Mr. Lorimer's many friends in Illinois. Senator Culion: It is a rather late day to say that it is a result of the civil war, the right to vote was given to the Afro-American by an amendment to the constitution. He will keep it. No attempt will be made to take it from him, and it is useless to discuss such a proposition. His right will neither be denied or abolished. Instead of asserting that it was a mistake to give the Afro-American the rights of citizenship, we should devote all our thoughts and energies to raise him to the point to qualify him for citizenship. We should educate him and do everything in our power to make a good citizen of the Afro-American. He needs encouragement, and we owe it to ourselves to do all in our power to elevate him. We should assert that it was a mistake to give him the right of a franchise, especially as he has enjoyed that right for more than a generation. It was given to him by the people of the United States, as the State Legislatures, acting for the people, voted for the amendment. We gave citizenship to the Afro-American. Our mission is to build up and not to tear down. In addition to educating the Afro-American we should teach him how to sustain himself and to make an honest, industrious and provident citizen. As a result of the conflict of authority between the United States Supreme Court and the Department of Justice growing out of the Chattanooga junching case, it is probable the Supreme Court will be the beneficiary of Johnson will have to face two sets of prosecutions. The Department of Justice is proceeding to prosecute the lynchers under sections 5508-9 of the Revised Statutes, and it is the present intention to bring Sheriff Shipp and any members of the mob who may be apprehended before the court on contempt proceedings. In a letter to the President, Otto C. Heggen, of Des Moines, Iowa, respectfully tenders to him his resignation as a citizen of the United States. The letter containing the unprecedented request was referred to the State Department which in turn wrote the Iowa man that it was impossible for the government to accept his resignation. The applicant, who desires to be made a man without a country, gives as his reason that he cannot support the Constitution of the United States. If the resignation of all persons who do not support the Constitution were made for the very few Caucasian Americans left in the South. Reports of the state auditor of Virginia show that the Afro-Americans of that state own $5,384,316 worth of personal property and $3,048,000 in real estate. Representative Frederick Landis, according to reports received in Washington, has again carried the Eleventh Indiana district and will be renominate third term at the Republican convention. If Niagara Falls are to be preserved as one of the wonders of the world immediate action by the United States and Canada is required, according to the findings of the American members of the International Waterways Conference, the United States must study the conditions at the Falls and in the tributary Great Lakes. The Alumni Association of the Howard University Friday night held a reunion and annual banquet, where graduates of classes 75 to 95 gatham at the Marina. Among the guests were Dr. F. W.

John Sharp Williams, Morris House leader, has introduced a bill to incorporate the Industrial Educational League of the South, to promote the elementary and practical education of such unfortunate white persons in the Southern States as are not at present provided with suitable instruction in either the public or other schools. Congressman Mann of Illinois, has introduced a bill to legalize the naturalization of about thirty thousand persons who obtained their papers from the criminal court of Cook County. Representative Mann said that justice demanded that the naturalization be legalized as it had been sought by the persons in good faith. Mr. F. L. Barnett, Assistant States Attorney, of Chicago was in the city this week, the guest of Ex-congressman Geo. H. White. Mr. F. L. Hamilton of Minneapolis is in the city. Senator: elect Hopkins; I cannot agree with those who think the Afro-American has not progressed or that the fifteenth amendment has not helped him. In the North, where the proportion of blacks to whites is small, the improvement has, of course, been more rapid than in the South. I believe an increase among the Afro-Americans in one of the middle western states. Opinions differ as to the condition of the plantation Afro-American, but I believe that most of those who think that he is going backward are notoriously prejudiced against him. I have talked with representatives who were in favor of Congress that the fifteenth amendment was passed. They voted for it because they could find no other way in which to protect him in the enjoyment of his civil rights. After many years they were of the opinion that they acted rightly. The Afro-American has become a long in a short time. We are inclined to be impatient and to forget that it took the white man centuries to develop his civilization.

Francis, thanks to the faithfulness of his friends, was nominated as a Republican candidate for the assembly.

But the fight has only begun: he must receive more votes on his ballot. The primarys to be elected, so let all his hard work to work and if the right sort of work is done, his election is assured. There were many voters who did not vote at the primaries, and many who voted Democrat's choice to the primaries who will vote for Mr. Francis on election day. Keep up the light until victory is won.

Elliott Form an Undertaking Firm With pleasure it is announced to the readers of THE APHEAL the advent of a new business enterprise in the form of an undertaking establishment located at 322 Wabasha street. The APHEAL is an Afro-Americans in the different lines of business has been noted for many years with great pleasure. Some who have placed their names and wares before the people of St. Paul have retired but their places have been moved from a successful future may be predicated. It has a subject for speculation among the thinking people why a city of the size of St. Paul, with an Afro-American population of over 3500 has not one of their number in the under-50s, and is not acceptably in that direction, but in the development of race pride it will doubtless be agreed to that in the preparation for, and the interment of our love for, that we have been called before, that we should be able to meet, people, will better meet our approval. Messrs. T. H. Lyles and W. B. Elliott both well known and highly respected citizens, have decided to try to fill that long felt want and to that end have begun business this week with their Disorders and Embalmers. They have needed examinations and have complied with all the requirements of the state and City Boards of Health. They were highly complimented upon the standing they made in the examinations at the State University. They successfully solicit any orders in the undertaking line with the assurance that such orders will be attended to promptly and the best possible manner. Elsewhere in this issue will be found their business card giving the location of their residences and telephone numbers, and a call to either residence or day or night anywhere in the Twin Cities will be immediately answered.

FIRST STORY OF IMAGINATION Written by Ennana of Thebes for Egypt's Crown Prince in 1300 B. C. Egypt's Crown Prince in 1300 B. C. The "Tale of Two Brothers," written 3,200 years ago by the Theban scribe, Ennana, librarian of the palace to King Merenptah, the supposed Pharaoh of the Exodus, is the oldest work of fiction extant. The tale was written apparently for the entertainment of the crown prince, who subsequently reigned as Seti II. His name appears in two places on the manuscript—probably the only surviving autograph signatures of an Egyptian king. This piece of antique fiction, written on nineteen sheets of papyrus in a bold hieratic hand, was purchased in Italy by Mme. d'Orbiney, who sold it in 1857 to the authorities of the British museum, where it is now known as the d'Orbiney papyrus. Other specimens of ancient Egyptian fiction have since come to light, which appear to prove that the Nile valley was not only the birthplace of the arts and sciences, but was also the cradle of romance.—Stray Stories. ROOT OF ALL HUMAN SUCCESS Struggle of the Race to Get Away from Poverty. The struggle to get away from poverty has been a great man-developer. Had every human being been born with a silver spoon in his mouth—had there been no necessity put upon him to work—the race would still be in its infancy. Civilization owes more to the perpetual struggle of man to get away from poverty than to anything else. It is not poverty itself, but the effort to get away from it, that makes the man. We are so constituted that we make our greatest efforts and do our best work while struggling to attain that which the heart longs for. Power is the result of force overcome. The giant is made strong in wrestling with difficulties. It is impossible for one who does not have to struggle and to fight obstacles to develop fiber or stamina. "To live without trial is to die but half a man."—Success. The Saver and the Miser. The miser is the poorest of men, for, while he lives solely for self, he gets less out of life than any other man. He has money, but denies himself the things that money can buy, in making money the end, instead of the means of life he narrows his purposes and achievements down to not- ingness. But the despicable example of one miser nor a thousand can ever shake the firm foundation upon which rest wholesome saving and thrift. The soul of thrift is saving. Most men who have learned the trick of making millions at a single deal first learned how to double their pennies. To the man who would become rich the habit of saving, once firmly fixed, is his most important capital.—St. Louis Star-Chronicle. Belgian Women Hard Workers In Belgium horses often cost more than the peasantry can afford, and so many of the women often trudge miles with one heavy basket slung over their shoulders, another on their arm, and a third balanced perfectly on their heads. They tramp along in the glaring heat until they reach the neighboring market. They they find no time to rest. They empty their baskets, never thinking that in carrying such a load they have performed a hard day's work, so eager are they to sell their flowers, fruits, and vegetables. After vending their wares all day they return with three empty baskets, one strapped to the back, another on the head, and the third on their arms. Roman System of Figuring. Counting on the fingers was a regular system for the young Romans. They would make eighteen movements with the left hand for the numbers below 100, and eighteen with the right hand for those above. Two kinds of counting machines, called an abacus, were also used. One was a board strewn with sand, on which geometrical figures were drawn. The other was a frame, with balls moved in grooves to represent figures, with a special contrivance for doing fractions. As teachers were not very patient in those days, arithmetic might be said to have been learned less by rule than by ferrule. Egotism a Great Power. Egotism is, the natural temptation of all those whose individuality is strong; the man of intense desires, of acute perception, of vigorous preferences, of eager temperament, is in danger of trying to construct his life too seduously on his own lines; and yet these are the very people who help other people most, and in whom the hope of the race lies. Meek, humble, timid persons, who accept things as they are, who tread in beaten paths, who are easily persuaded, who are cautious, prudent, and submissive, leave things very much as they find them. You Are No Exception Rest is absolutely necessary to everyone. There must be periods of relaxation—moments when the mind and soul and body gather force for continued activity. The thing one should guard against is taking rest at the wrong moment. Herein lies most of the success of life—resting at the right time. Great accomplishments have been given up because one wanted to take rest at the wrong minute. After a large duty is done large relaxation should follow. CHESTNUT FLOUR OF CORSICA Much Used but Produces Inferior Kind of Bread. The chestnut is the wheat of Corsica, and its flour is used in the form of bread or potenta by the peasants throughout the island. The chestnuts are slowly dried over a small wood fire and stored until required for grinding. The mills are of the simplest construction, and consist of a wooden water wheel whose axis turns a millstone which crushes the shelled chestnuts against a fixed stone. The cheaper grades of flour are of a dirty color owing to the presence of particles of the shells and contain between 11 and 12 per cent of moisture. The composition of different varieties of the flour has been determined recently by M. Comte, who finds that chestnut flour closely approximates wheat flour in its food value. It contains about the same amount of starch, more fat and cellulose, but less nitrogenous substances (7 to 9 per cent, as against 12 to 16 per cent in wheat flour). Chestnut flour attracts moisture very rapidly, and therefore soon becomes mouldy unless kept in air-tight vessels. It has also the drawback of not being easily influenced by the action of yeast, and thus produces an inferior kind of bread. Would Seem Something Stronger Than Water Was Needed Coming through the railroad tunnel the other day one of the passengers, a lady strongly opposed to the smoke evil, began an eloquent denunciation of the nuisance to a prominent citizen sitting near. "Do you know," she said, "there is a man living on the street just above this tunnel, and he declares that the smoke is not an annoyance to him at all—in fact, that it is rather conducive to health? Now, what do you think of that?" "Just this, my dear madam," said the prominent citizen, with a twinkle in his eye, "you know that cinders and a little liquid make a very good lye."-Baltimore American. Parnell Dreaded Infection. This of Parnell is told by William O'Brien: "One evening I happened to mention at dinner that I had got a note informing me that two of my subeditor's children were down with scarcitation. 'My God!' O'Brien, he cried, almost in a panic, 'what did you do with the letter?' When I told him it was still in my pocket he begged of me instantly to throw it into the fire. Seeing how genuine was his concern I did so. 'Now,' said he, 'wash your hands.' This time I found it difficult to avoid smiling. He bounded from the dinner table and with his own hands emptied the water ever into the basin on the wash hand stand. For God's sake, O'Brien, quick! he cried, holding out the towel toward me, with an earnestness that set the whole company in a roar. He returned to his dinner in a state of supreme satisfaction."
