Drilling and Boring Wood.

The hand-drill or breast-drill. origi-
nally intended for the hand-drilling of
metals, has taken its place among
woodworking tools. In many instan-
ces it has displaced the bit-brace, or at
least has filled requirement left I'M
satisfactorily supplied by the bit-brace.
The breast-drill may be used for drill.
gimlet or bit, and its speed-on the
best forms-may be changed at will
without a change of speed of the hand.
1t has its advantage also, in the more
natural motion of the hand-the verti-
cal crank movement instead of the
horizontal crank motion. A drilled
hole in wood, for whatever purpose, is
better than a bored hole. The drill
cuts a clean hole; not merely finding
its way between the fibres by displace-
inc them, but removing the material
entire as it advances. the gimlet form
of wood borer is crude at best; thread
at the end is supposed to enter the
solid wood and by spiral friction pull
the cutting portion of it. The cutting
portion is a twist like twist drill or
auger, supposed to deliver the chips
WHICH IL never uoeS ueiiNei- Iue Piess-
ure of the hand is necessary to force the
gimlet into the wood, and the pull of
the hand is required to release it and
empty the chips. The drill cuts clean
hole, and has none of the objections Of
the gimlet. Unlike the gimlet, it may
be resharpened so long as it lasts. Its
speed in the breast drill is very much
greater than that of the gimlet in the
bit-brace.

A Great Edifce.

The new cathedral of Moscow cost
more than S10,OOO,0OO. 1t has been
half century in constructing, but the
wonder is not that the time is so long,
but rather that it has been so short.
The Cathedral of st. Savior'sis erected
as memorial of the deliverance OF
Russia from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1872.
Less than three E.ouths after the re-
treat of the French the Emperor Alexan-
der /. issued decree that the church
should be built. and few years later
the foundations were laid 1t took
twenty years to erect the building and
cover it in, and the scatfolding was
taken down in 1858. The scaffolding
alone cost f50,000. 1t has five great
gilded copper cupolas, surmounted by
crosses, the central one of which stands
$40 feet from the ground.
The whole building is faced with mar
BILE, and the interior is pronounced the
most exquisite in its decoration in Eu,
rope. There are magnificent paintings,
elegant windows, costly candelabra,
and the floor and wall are inlaid with
many varieties of marble.
There is nothing in the world to equal
the gorgeous splendor of the altar and
its Accomplishments, and the cathedral
covers $4,000 square feet, and will ac.
commodate comfortably in its central
area-for it is in the form of a Greek
cross-ten thousand worshipers. The
bells for this church cost fl5.000. The

Phil Sheridan.

/ saw the general of the army, P. H.
Sheridan, come into the Ebbitt house
the other evening, to make call, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
New York World. He stopped a mo-
ment in the rotunda to talk to some
friends. A group of military officers
Immediately gathered around him. A
stranger would never have selected
him as their commander-in-chie A
more unmilitary-looking man never
lived. in civilians dress. He needs his
uniform. Most of the officers about
him were in civilians dress also, but
there was hardly one of them who did
not wear some outward sign of his mil
itary character. Sheridan is very short
and each year seems to add to the ro-
tundity of his pudgy figure. When l
saw him in the lobby he wore upon the
back of his round, bullet head very
slim, high, old-fashioned silk hat of
style that was very popular about the
time of the close of the war. 1t was
about two sizes too small. His short,
iron-gray hair stood out from under the
rim OF his hat at nearly right angles
with it. His red, weather-beaten face
does not show any new lines of advanc-
ing age, but his grizzly, iron-gray mus
tache and imperial are whitening very
fast. He wore Il short, light, yellow
gray overcoat which had only five but
tons. and they were nearly ready to fly
off from the undue strain Of Sheridan
round figure. The coat, like the hat,
appeared to have been long outgrown.
The trousers were gray plaid and fit
ted very snugly to the Generals fat
legs. His boots were thick-soled and
unblacked. He wore no gloves. The
side and rear views of the General sug-
gested a low-comedy man who had
walked off the stage all made up for
funny part, but when you came tc look
at the General square in the face, its
stern, solemn, composed lines were
enough to make one forget his gro
tesque figure and careless dress. He is
very popular in Washington, but he is
not as popular as was Gen. Sherman
with the ladies. He is fonder of stay
inc at home than he is of going about
in society. He takes more pleasure in
paying attention to his own wife than
TO other mems wives. Until he reforms
in this particular he will never acquire
what might be called great popularity
in society. 1t will be ten years before
Sheridan can be retired. As the time
is so far ahead, it is not worth while to
speculate as to his successor. When
he goes out, the rank of lieutenant-gen-
eral will 90 with him. The highest
rank after this will be that of major
general.

If we ask why the Chinese have re-
manned in a strange and immov.ble
condition for so many centuries, the
answer is clear, though it may at first
seem little inadequate. The Chinese
have no imagination. People without
imagination never change their habits.
The Chinese are clever, cultivated,
skillful craftsmen. admirable imitators,
but they have no Imagination, and that
explains everything. They are perfect
ly satisfied with the dull routine of
monotonous, laborious life, so long as
they have enough to eat and buy
opium, and to gamble away a few cash
now and then with the dice or domi-
noes, or over the glorious combat of
two valiant crickets. They are
practical folk, and so long as things
are pretty comfortable. they do not see
the use of vain aspirations. They are
content with domestic system which
an imaginative and romantic mind
could not endure. They are happy in
a total absence of religion, because
they do not perceive that religion
brings cash, and they feel no inward
promptings toward the spiritual life.
They have a scheme of morality which,
if carried out. must unquestionably de-
serve a very high place among the at
tempts to govern the animal whom
Swift acutely describes as not
rationale but rdtioRis capar, by the
pure principles ofreason. Here again
the Imagination is wanting; the highest
kind of intellect, which connotes
quick and vivid Imagination,
demands something more than a.
moral system as the ground of conduct.
Let it be theology, a divine life or an
enthusiasm for the great human family,
there must be sentiment for the
Imagination to clothe with a compel
ling beauty and strength. The only
sentiment the Chinese possess, the
only trace of the power of Imagination,
is IN their reverence for their ancestors,
and their feeling that whatsoever
man does brings renown or shame
upon his forefathers. This is n more
powerful and ennobling sentiment than
is generally perceived-it is the pivot of
Chinese life; but it is too large and COM
pleX subject to be now discussed at
length. Apart from this one redeem
ing attribute, the worship of the great
dead, the Chinese mind is singularly
pale and colorless, strikingly devoid of
the vivifying qualities of western intel
lect, empty of romance, enthusiasm
in word, without imagination.-Ed

The pastors OF the city and others are dis
cussing the proposal to change the general
prayer-meeting night in Springfield from
Wednesday evening to Friday evening. Some
of the pastors complain that Wednesday
night, being in the middle of the week, rem
ders it impossible for them to leave the city,
between Sundays, without being absent from
their most important meeting; whereas, if it
was held Friday evening, they could be gone
nearly all the week and get back in time 10
attend it. Then il is urged that school ehil-
dren could attend better Friday evening, at
the end of the school week, than on Wednes-
day evening.
