The Tin Cams Mission.

The empty tin can at last has mis-
sion, and profitable one at that. Emptied
of its contents of peaches or toma-
toes, discarded and thrown out at the
kitchen gate, tit may soon be sent in at
the front door or an honored place
in the best room IN the house. Thou
sands of these cans are gathered in
Philadelphia every week and made into
shining sheets and used to decorate OF
cover large travelling trunks, and thus
get promotion from the back yard tc
the boudoir. On the outskirts of the
city, within a short time, a number OF
factories for the conversion of these old
buffeted and battered cans and other tin
refuse from the ash heaps have sprung
up; and the business is q growing one.
One of considerable size is on Moya.
mensing Avenue, below Mitlln Street,
where large force of men is kept busy
day in and day out. The cans are col
lected in various ways, but principally
from the city's ash heaps and the hotels
and large clearinghouse. At the
factory the soldered seams are subjected
to an intense heat in such way that
the solderis allowed to run into a re-
ceptacle, and is carefully saved and
sold, the profit from this source alone
almost paying for the expense of gath
ering and handling of the cans. The
tops and bottoms ofthe cans are melted
and turned into window sash weights.
The labels an the tin plates are easily
taken off, after having been thoroughly
soaked in water and the plates them
selves rolled out fiat by machinery. As
the inside of the plates are not much
discolored by the contents of the can
they present clean surface and make
excellent covers for trunks, the seams
being hidden by the trunk braces, either
Of wood or sheet iron. Other uses are
also made of the tin plates, and there
Is considerable profit in the business.
The process is quite simple, and very
little capital is required. One concern
in this city rolled out 10000 of these
plates in less than two months, and the
industry promises to be largely devel-
oped both here and elsewhere. - EhiIa.

night.wheres YOU can learn something
useful. Each point you seize upon
helps to broaden and enlighteh your
mind and make a well-posled man of
you. And, instead of sholldering
gun on Saturdays, or tramping of after
a good time in a swamp, 90 down to
the 'round-house and look over the
mechanism of locomotive 20 into
wheat elevator and see how curiouslv
everything is arranged-go into a ma
chine shop and see how iron can be
turned as easily as pine--go into n
planing-mill--down where they saw
blocks of stone by steam-go some-
where and see something to post your
self.
All! boy, if YOU only realized how
much this country will depend upon
you twenty years hence YOU wouldn't
waste your time! You will sooner or
later have TO take hold as the rest of us
did. There will be the same strife for
place and fame and riches rs YOU see
to-day, and the.boy who has wasted his

here and jostled there and driven to the

NitrO.Glycerine Bombs.

The nitro-glycerine bomb is a recent
addition to destructive projectiles, its
serviceahleness in reducing entrench-
ments being, it is claimed, unexcelled.
Units construction heavy conical shell
is first cast and so arranged that one
end is much heavier than the other,
one end being also closed with tightly
fitting cap, screwed on after charging.
The interior of the shell.is divided into
three compartments, each separated by
heavy plate glass cap; the division
furthest from the open end is filed with
sulphuric acid, the next with glycerine,
and the outer one with nitric acid
these three elements being the compo-
nent parts of nitro-glycerine. A small
opening through the center of the cap
fitting the open end of the proiectile
admits a steel rod, TO each end of which
is firmly attached a small circular piece
of metal, the inner end resting against
the first glass cap; the outer cap is then
screwed on, and the proiectile is ready
for service. According to the principle
of gravitation, the heavy end naturally
strikes the ground first, the steel rod Is
driven through the plate glass partitions,
the chemicals are mingled, and a nitro
glycerine discharge takes place. Utica

A Hindu'S Death.

Mr.. Dali, the American Unitarian
missionary to Calcutta, who loved Mr..
Sen and wrote a touching obituary OF
him, told me that the scene at his death
was very painful. When he (Mr. DalD
entered the room a devotee sat at his
head crying in a mournful voice,
"Hari, Hari!' name of the god of an old
Salvation Army that followed Chaita-
nya, said to have been born of virgin
and to have "disappeared'' four cen
turies ago. The dying mans son,
weeping, continually called '"Baba!
Baba" Mr., SENS mother asked
mournfully: "What have l done that
thou shouldst suffer such agony?"
The dying man said that this agony
was the apparently stern face of his Di-
vine Mother, and that he saw her coun-
tenance full of love and beauty. A
Singing Apostle sang in the room
hymns that are thus translated: i. If
possible, oh Beloved, remove this cup.
Yet not my will but Thine be done In
this dire distress body, mind and life
are Thine. Do Thou with them as
Thou wilt, only, with clasped hands,
ask for this blessing: Grant unto me
peace, patience and strength. II. In
the darkness of peril, Mother, what a
frightful look is Thine The body
trembles at that terrible countenance.
In the midst of the dismal ground of
cremation Thou seemest to be dancing
in the armor of battle. Thy intelligent
form, deep in its immensely, appears
tinged with blood. But, Mother, in
Thy inward nature there is a deep ocean
of love that surges constantly. What
fear, then, Mother! have found Thee
out-Thou art that Merciful, Infinite
Ocean of Love. IN. d. Conway, in
Philadelphia Times.

1t is claimed that fewer men are
excused from jury duty in Philadelphia
than any other city in the country. The
Judges have entire charge OF the mat
ter, and most of them are very particu-
lar. They take fewexcuses. Deafness
and diseases that prevent sitting long
in one position are the principal ones.
In that city even members of the bar

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A Nevada man whoread my last week s
paragraph il "Odds and ends" about
senator Jones candidacy for reelection
says that a very peculiar condition of af-
fairs exists in Nevada at the present time,
which is certain to attract public atten-
ton sooner or later. The population of
the state has dwindled since the census
of 1870, when it was put down at about
$4,000, to about 10000, of whom probab-
longer produce as of old, and as there is
little arabic land in the state the inhabit-
ants have been leaving in large numbers
fOrnew mining fields, until it is not uncom
mon to see places which were once pop
ulous now almost entirely deserted. The
RESULT of all this is that very few per
sons have to pay all the expenses of main
tanning a state government, and there is
much grumbling in consequence. Out
side of the Office holders and some few
who are in the attitude of expectancy,
CHeIe 10 hdruly property owner III Jle
state who would not gladly welcome a
return to territorial condition, were such
3 thing possible, and thus throw upon
tthe general government the expense now
lborne by the people. But ''once a state
ALWAYS a state" is the doctrine of this I'M
; ion, and Nevada must stand up to the
rack as long as there is a voter left with
in her borders. No matter how small
her population may become, she will
continue to have one representative and
two senators in congress.

National aid to Free Schools.

There number of bills before congress
to promote public schools. Senator Blair's
bill proposes an appropriation at the rate
of\S15, 600, 600 for the first year, $4,000
GOO for the second year, and so ON by an
annually decreasing rate until ten appro-
priation$ have been made, when all APP
preparations shall cease. The money is
to be distributed on the basis Of iIliteracy
under the supervision of federal officer
and the proper state officer.
Senator Logan would be still more lib
eral. His bin proposes to devote $4,000,
600 year to educational purposes. The
money is to b6 derived from taxes on Ii
quors and from the sales Of public lands.
No state is to receive q part of the money
until it adopts compulsory education as a
part of its school policy.
In the house Mr.. White, of Kentucky,
has introduced a bill to distribute $685.
600, 600 on the basis of illiteracy. Mr..
Willis, of the same state, is urging the
passage of bill to appropriate 100000
600 a year, and he has also introduced a
bill very similar to the Blair measure.
