1t is not necessary that boy who
learns a trade should follow it all
his lite. Governor Palmer of Illl-
nois was a country blacksmith once.
Thomas Hayne, rich and eminent
lawyer, also of Illinois, was once a
bookbinder. Erastus Corning OF
New York, too lame to do hard work,
commenced as shop boy in Albany.
When he applied for employment he
was asked: "Why, my little boy,
what can you do?' ''Can do what
am bid" was the answer, which
secured him the place. Senator vii.
son of Massachusetts, was a shoe.

worked at in his youth. Large mum
bers Of men of prominence now liv-
ing have risen from humble life, by
dint of industry, without which

bright, and it does not alone depend
on the kind of work you have to do
whether you rise or not; it depends
on how you do it.

A Valuable New Compound
Metal.

Mr.. Spence, an Englishman, has
invented compound metal, which, if
it possesses the properties claimed
for it in the paper read short time
since before the British Society of
Arts, promises to be brought largely
into industrial uses az more appE.
cable to many purposes than the
metals now employed therein. This
new metal Is composed of the sui
phides of iron, lead and zinc, which,
when melted together in certain pro.
portions, form a homogeneous mass.
1t is said to possess great tenacity,
and not to be subject to oxidization
either by the action of air, water or
the alkalies. Even the most power
full acids act upon it very slowly,
and only when reduced to fine
powder. The melting point of the
metal is as low as 30, which gives
it, we are told, remarkable fitness
for fine casting, especially such as
are required for printing and stereo-
type purposes. In art work of q
higher kind, as in statuettes and
ornamental designs reproduced by
molding, the superiority is claimed
for it that it is susceptible OF the
highest polish, and that it will take
any color, from the dark blue of
steel to that of bronze, silver or gold.
Its cost, moreover, being but about
one-foufth the price of lead, and its
perfect freedom from oxidization
viii render it, in the opinion of the
inventor and of the Society of Arts,
of peculiar value for water-pipes
and cisterns and in the manufacture
of acids. 1t will be known COM
mercially as ''Spence's metal"

Historic Doubts.
From the Globe.]

It has been strongly doubted
whether Joan Of Arc ever suffered the
punishment that has made her mar
tyr, though details Of her execution
and last moments grace the civic rec
ords of Rouen. Several books have
been published discussing the ques
ton. A Belgian lawyer is the author
of one of these. He contends that
the historians-whoh have done moth
ing but copy each other in the nara
tives Of her death-err exceedingly
in saving that it took place on the
last day of May, 1473. the fact being
that she was alive and we'll many
years after that date. There are
good grounds, too, for believing that
the pretty tale Of "Abelard and
Heloise" is pure fiction. Nobody
has vet unriddled the mystery of the
"Man in the Iron Mask" and nobody
seems likely to do so, while the iden-
tity of the writer Of the "Junius" let
ters is as far from being settled as
ever. These are two insoluble enig-
mas, impenetrable mysteries that
battle solution, and about which, per-
haps, the public has become tired OF
surmises.
An extremely witty and character
istic anecdote, told of Lord Beacons-
field, will bear repetition. An ad-
herent from q distant country brought
his two sons to the then Mr.. Disra-
eli and asked him to give them a
word of advice on their introduction
into life. "Neyer try to ascertain,
said the illustrious statesman to the
elder boy, "who was the man who
wore the iron mask, or you will be
thoughta terrible bore. Nor do you,
turning to the second, "ask who was
the author of Junius,' or you will be
thought a bigger bore than your
brother"
Walpole wrote an ingenious work
to show-taking for his base the con
licting statements In history ano
biography-that no such person as
Richard III. ever existed, or that Il
he did he could have been neither
tyrsnt nor an hunchback. "Historie
Doubts Relative to Napoleon Bona
part" was published in London ir
1910, and created widespread amuse
ment because of its amazing clever
ness. Napoleon, who was at the time
a captive at ST. Helena, admired the
composition greatly. Archbishop
Whately and Sydney Smith were
both reputed to be the author. Since
the publication OF that skit numerous
| limitations have been issued, but mons
have shown much originality or skill
and have therefore vanished into the
darkness of merited oblivion.

 manding YeK0Ob KhRn's Reinstate-
 ment.
 LONDON, Jan. 3O.-A dispatch from Cabul states that General Bright, at the head of 8 strong detachment of troops, has marched to the Logar valley, which has been the scene of recent serious risings, and encamped there with view to suppressing the local disturb ances and combinations among the tribes before they can do serious mischief. The Logar valley is separated by a single mountain range from the Ghuzni road, which latter place is at present the rallying point of the tribes that gather to the support of Nah mould Jan at the fortress of Ghuzni. The head men of the various tribes known by the general title of Kohistanis are said to be force. StAnir Khan, one of the most infuen- tial chiefs, has avowed his determination to fight to the last extremity unless the English consent to the reinstatement of Yakoob Khan as Ameer. The Cabulese, however, are de- clared to have refused the proposition of Ayoub Khan to march at once on Farah, ar guing that the season is not yet suitable, and that the British forces ara too strong in that vicinity to justify them in taking the risk un- by the hill men. Thus far it is in timated that the operations made in the hope of preventing junction with the Kohistanis, in the neighborhood of Ghuzni, have not been as successful as was hoped for, and the situation is regarded with some anxiety on ac- count of the certainty of another organized on the part of the Afghans as soon as their more warlike forces can be collected.

Government Policy as to the May Laws
 Strength and Distribution of the
 Army.
 LONDON, Jan. 3O.-A Berlin dispatch to the Times, to be taken in connection with the statement that when the budget of the Min istry of Public Worship comes up for discus sion next week in the Prussian Diet Prince Bismarck will take the opportunity to give explanations on the Church question, says: As neither the Ultramontane party, nor the Centre, nor the Prussian bishops can be regarded as impartial sources of information touching the plans of the Vatican, Prince Bismarck has determined to demand directly from the Pope what really are the grievances of the Church which prevent the establishment of solid peace. When an answer is received, Herr von Putt Hammer, Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, will draft bill abolishing the severest clauses of the May laws.
 The strength of the German army on peace footing, as shown by the military bud get of 18SO-81, is IT, 7,227 officers and 4O1, ,659 men. This does not include the projected in- crease, which the Cologne Gazette says is chiefly destined to reinforce the Alsace-Lor- raine garrisons. The new field artillery regi- ment is to be stationed at Metz, and the heavy artillery will be divided among the for tresses of Alsace-Lorraine.
 BERLIN, Jan. 3O.-Prince Bismarck is op- posed to reduction of the military service, but proposes to increase the officers and improve the quality of rations. Extraordi- nary activity is observable in the German Government cannon foundry at Spandau.

 Thanking lhs Wisconsin Legislature.
 AUGUSTA, Jan. 3O.-Matters are very quiet in Augusta to-day. The last detachment of militia left the State House this morning, hav- iug been retired from duty by command of Governor Davis. A large..number of fusion Senators and Representatives were in their seats during the session to-day. In the Sen ate the bill to amend section 16, chapter 4, relating to the removal of voters from one ward to another was passed to be engrossed. Routine business only was transacted, and the Senate adjourned to 8 o'clock Saturday. In the House large number of petitions for various projects were presented and appropri- ately referred. MT. Perry, of Camden, in- troduced an order requesting the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the necessity of section 25, chapter 2, of the revised statutes reading as follows: No person shall be all lowed to act or take part in the organization of either branch of the Legislature unless his name appears in the certified bill of that branch This is the 1869 law, which has been in use for ten years, but Mir. Perry says the Su- preme Court has pronounced it unconstitu- tionaI and it is therefore of no further use. The action taken on this order will be im- portant in the face of present circumstances. An order was introduced in relation to the seats of Messrs Swan and Hartman, princi- pals in the bribery case, looking to the or dering of an election if the gentlemen do not come and take their seats. The committee on State valuation reported to the effect that valuation be made this year, and if it prove insufficient another can be made next year. The following resolutions were adopted
 Resolved, the Senate concurring, that we extend-to the Assembly and Senate of the State of Wisconsin, and through them to the people whom they represent, our grateful acknowledgements for their clear app recitation of the gravity and importance to ourselves and the people of the event through which we have just passed. expressed in the resolu- ton transmitted by their government to this Legislature, and for the general sympathy or encouragement therein rendered us, and to the people of this State.
 Resolved, that in return we tender to them and to the country our congratulatiogs that these questions, which are are so vital to the maintenance of representative government, have been peacefully settled by the proper legal tribunal, without violence or an appeal to arms, thereby adding another proof of the disposition and capacity of the people of this country to maintain under law the spirit and purpose of republican institutions in force, and uphold the essential principles upon which the republic rests. that the will of the people when ascertained shall be represented and obeyed.
 Resolved, that the Government of this resolutions to His Excellency the Governor of Wisconsin with the request that he transmit them to the Assembly and Senate of that State.
