the light of the past, we believe
that the true secret to success is
fixedness Of purpose and concentra.
tion of effort.
In our own observation. do we find
man who is adrift, floating without
aim or direction who has ever ac-
complished, or is likely to accomplish
anything ? To come nearer home !;
we do not find that student success
who comes to the University merely
because his parents send him. And
unless there can be instilled into his
mind some desire to complete his
course with honor and inspiration to
do something laudable in life's field
OF labor, he is not benefited and the
University is generally injured by
his coming. We fear that too many
Of us have no fxedness of purpose,
DO steadiness OF aim. There GER
tainly can be no reason for this. The
field Of usefulness is more inviting
to the young men OF to-day. than ii
has been to the young men Of any
preceding age. The call for earnest
soldiers in the worlds great battle
for advancement, is urgent, and il
we desire not to ''be like dumt
driven cattle in the strife, if we would
in any way give impetus to the
march OF progress, we must be uE
and doing. We must have that
ixedness of purpose which 10 hill OF
difficulty, no storm Of adyersity, ne
wave OF opposition can turn.-Phila-

THE SALVATION ARMY.
Written for the Commonwealth.


The Salvation Army in England
has attracted much attention.
especially within the last six months.
Americans have viewed it as the Off
spring of set Of religious entnusi.
asts. and have considered it as one
of the natural outbursts for saving
souls which take place periodically.
They have regarded 1t merely as a
natural consequence or religious
.anaticism, and like all other out
bursts of similar nature doomed to
a speedy downfall. Such, however,
seems not likely to take place in this
Instance; for their operations are
meeting with the greatest success,
and there are some powerful man
ayers connected with it, else it
would not have assumed such pro.
portions. 1t has lot yet reached its
acme but is spreading like wi!d-firt
over England, and even our owl
land has been invaded by these
modern crusaders.
DeIachments Of them have come
to our shores, and are how in severa
parts Of our country. AS it approach

DR.. Sturtevant's experiments ap
pear to show that the tip kernals OF
Indian corn We're the most prolific OF
corn, and that the butt kernels were
m ore prolific of good corn than the
central ones. The tip kernels bore
the longest ears, the bntt kernels
coming next. The merchautable
ears from the butt were distinctly
heavier than those from the tip. and
those from the tip were heavier thar
than the central yield. The butt
kernels furnished more unmerchant.
able corn than the central kernels
and the central kernals more than
the tip kernels.

THE USE OF PAPER.

Paper car wheels are composed en-
tirely of paper rings pressed together
under a weight Of six tons, and then
fastened by means OF bolts and steel
tire put on them, when they are
ready for use. Laid loosely. the rings
stack as high as the shoulder of an
ordinary man. Under treatment
they sink to the thickness required.
If the tire should wear or fall off the
wheel, or the train run from the track,
there would be no danger Of their
breaking, as they are very flexible,
aud would spring. A paper ball can
be rendered so solid that nothing but
a diamond tool can cause an indenta-
ton into it. At the mill is square
block OF compressed paper fastened
on tuning lathe, and so hard that,
if a fine steel chisel is held against
it wheh moving, instead of cutting
the paper It will break the chisel into
a hundred pieces The strength is as
tt nishing. You can take a f5 note
Of the Bank Of England, twist it into
a kind Of rope, suspend $50 pounds
upon one end Of it, and it will not
injure it in the slightest degree. Bath
tubs and pots are formed by compress
sing the paper made out of fine linen
fibres and annealed-that is, painted
over with a composition which be-
comes part thereof. and Is fire proof.
The tubs last indefinitely, never leak,
aod, put in the fire, will not burn up,
You can beat on them with a hammer
and not injure them. Plates com
pressed and annealed are very dura.
BILE; you cahnot only wash them, but
drop them upon the floor and stand
upon them The fork can be used
for any practical purpose. and the
knife can always be kept sharp.
Paper can be substituted for wood,
converted into plcture-frames and
colored like walnut, cherry, and the
like. Beasteads are fashioned the
same as car wheels, only of long
strips instead OF rings. They are
very beautiful and lasting. Cooking
or heating stoves are also annealed
amt it is impossible TO burn them out
They are less costly than iron. A
house can be literally constructed
and furnished with every convent
ence in paper. The printing press
type, and all the fixtures OF the office
could be concocted of this material
and more chcaply than Of the ordina
Try kind. A complete stsam-engine
can be thus manufactured and do al
required duty. Clothes and shoes
will come in the future. Twenty
nine hours are needed to transfer
linen fibre into car wheel.-Fire

HOME.

When daily tasks are done, and tired
hands
Lie still and folded on the resting knee,
When loving thoughts have leave to loose
their hands.
And wander over past and future free.
When visions bright Of love and hope full
filled
Bring weary eyes spark of olden fire.
One castle fairer tt an the rest we build,
One blessing more tian others we desire,
A home. our home, wherein all waiting
past,
We two may stand together, and alone.
Our patient task work finished, and at
last
Loves perfect blessedncss and peace our
own,
Some little nest of safety and delight.
Guarded by Gods good angel, day and
night.
We cannot guess if the Gear home shall
lie
In some green spot cmboWered with arch-
ing trees,
Where bird-notes joined with brook
notes gliding by
Shall make music as we sit at ease.
Or if amid the city's busy din
Is built the nest for which we look and
long,
No sound without shall mar the peace
within,
The calm of love that time has proved 81
strong.
Or if. ah. solemn thought this home o
! ours
Doth lie beyond the worlds noise.
and if the nest be built in Eden bowers
What do we still. but silently rejoice?
| We have a home, but of its happy state
We know not yet. We are content to wait

A new cereal called milo. maize is
receiving much attention in the
South. 1t was introduced by Rev.
II. II. Pratt. of North Carolina, for
some time a missionary in South
America. In nutritlve qualities it is
said to be superior to wheat. and it
has great power to withstand a
drought. The plant is allied to the
Sorghum and Guinea corn families.
