An Electrical Engineer.

There are two roads to take il YOU
WISH to become an electrical engineer.
Although this occupation of electrical
engineering is SO new, there are three
colleges in our country where the theo-
rctical part of the profession is taught,
namely: The stevens Institute of Tech
nology, ut HObokcn, New Jersey; the
University of Pennsylvania; and the
massachusetts Institute are the best
known. If young man has gone
through the theoretical and partially
practical training to be had in either of
these institutions, he does not require a
great deal of actual experience in doing
the work itself to fit him for undertake
ing almost any task pertaining to the
calling.
But some boys may not be able to
spare the time or pay the money for this
collegiate part of the training. In that
case, they endeavor to find employment
in one of the factories Of the great COM
panics l have mentioned. TO obtain
admission, however, they must be bright,
they must give good promise in the
taste they have for mechanical pursuits,
as well as in their habits, that they are
suited for the profession they seek to en-
ter. Having obtained an entrance,
they begin as ordinary employees, do
ing the simplest kind of work or even
drudgery; then they are transferred
from one department to another, learn
ing little at each step they take; until,
finally, they have good knowledge OF
the manufacturing branch of the pro-
fcssion.
From there they should go to the la-
boratory, where they obtain the scien-
| titic knowledge of the business. To
know how the different parts are put to-
gether is not of itself sufficient; they
must be able to tell why they are put to.
gethcr in that particular way; it is just
that knowledge which makes them cleo
trical engineers.
Then they are sent out rs assistants
to the various electric-lighting stations
or are temporarily placed in charge Of
plants which have just been established
and which some amateur engineer is
learning how to run. Finally they may
be put in charge of a lighting station, -
that is, building from which the light
ing power is furnished for tho lamps in
tho immediate neighborhood; and last
ly, they may become members of the
engineering corps. and put up the cleo
trio lights for some people in the man
ner have described.-From "Rcadl
for Business," dy George j. Manson, IN

The incident made deep impression
on Brooks. He pondcrcd over it, and
pondered until he got to talking about
1t. From talking to his friends, he got
to talking about it in the Post Finally
he was inspired-;I can think of no other

has been delivering with much earnest
ncssnnd unequivocal success ali over
the State. He begins with Painc's vol
uhtary Tour years service, exposes the
swindlc involved in the silence concern
ing the land warrants when men signed
muster-rolls, recites the slow payday
experiences, calls up months of waiting
by wives and children, compares the
purchasing power of the soldiers pay
with the purchasing power of silver

holders until there is nothing left of
them, and winds up with the incident
or the burnt note which the Government
was honest enough to replace. He
makes out very clearly-provcs to every
man within sound of his voice or logic,
that the systcm--the financial SYSTEM
the Government has pursued, is exactly

= A Land OF Gladness.

How softly flow, among Sonomas hills,
The ice-cold springs, the merry-hearted rills;
fragrance of pin my wandering fancy thrills,
Till, oven through tho city's noise built walls
hear the chant of sudden waterfalls,
Onco more, through cedar boughs the black
bird calls
There are wild cliffs on Mcndocino's shore,
And well know the scnwecd on the floor
0f hidden caves, and many marvel moro.
Pacific heart hath legends wise and old;
20 thou, and wait in voices manifold
When storms are loose, to hear the story told.
Again SEQ gray mountains purely Glad
with cleaning snow, vast peaks forever clad-
Such heights rs these the elder singers had.
Agnin one halls the Sunlight's burst of foam
On Lossens peaks, on Shastn's snowy dome,
Where lilies bloom beneath tho glaciers homo.
But best the redwood shade, tho peace it
brings,
Where fancles rise US crystal mountain
springs
Beneath tall trees; and dear each bird that
sings
In rainless summers; dear the forms which
grow
by cool Navarro, where sea-breczes blow
And white aZalcaS touch the rivers flow.

February.

Origin Of tho Word Texas.

In recent article published in the
North american Revie,0, Gov. Ireland
Of Texas, asserts that the word Texas
means "welcome," and that on the
landing of the first white men on the
coast OF Texas the Indians greeted them
with the exclamation of "Tcxas!" or
welcomem
This theory, according to CORE:
spondont in tho Texas Vor,OaertS, is not
correct. In the ancient Spanish
archives, stored away in the land once
at Austin it appears that certain lands Is
were situated zen ci pals de los IGlaS'
or, in the country of the Texas or Ielas
Indians, and being PRONOUNCED alike.
1t is well-known that the IeXas or
Teias Indians were q tribe OF Indians
LIVING in tho valley of the Rio Grande,
who wore exterminated o" driven off by
q moro savage tribe. The word Texas
or TEXAS is the root of the names of all
the Indian tribes in Texas and Mexico.
The prefix indicated the locality of the
tribe.
The As-Teias, or Astecs, dwelt on
high lands of Anahuac. The Tol-Toias,
or Toltccs, lived as far south as Yuoa-
tan. The Huas-Tejas lived ON the gulf
coast between Matamoras and Vera
Cruz and tho Tlal-Teias were located
in the state of Coahulla. - Teas Sin-

A California Lizards Queer Trick,

"Ihere are some curious cases among
the geckos," said q Los Angeles country
naturalist Here is one dead that is
called the leaf-tail gccko. You see the
tail bulges out soon after leaving the
body and assumes leaf or arrow shape
hence the name of the animal. Now,
when the little creature is chased you
will SEQ it dodge around a limb and
hold up the curious leaf-likc tail. That
Is all you can see, and SO naturally,
would think it q part of the tree itself.
But the lizard has n more remarkable
method of escape yet. We will imagine
that you have tried to pluck the leaf.
The animal drops clumsily to the ground
and darts away among the rocks, where
1t attracts the attention of some of the
hawks that are forever prowling around.
Immediately n chase cnSucs; the bird
gains, and is finally about to pounce
upon its prey, when all at once two liz
ards appear, one making of, while the
other dances up and down into the air
and along the ground in mysterious
way, so that the astonished Dird stops
and looks. In the meantime the origi-
nal lizard escapes; tho other, that is
really the tail, soon becomes quiescent
You see the gccko has the faculty of
throwing off its tail when hard pressed,
and, while the pTsuer's attention is
drawn to the squirming member, the
animal itself escapes"
"But it loses its tail?' suggested the
reporter.
"Only for time. They can repro
duce this organ, and curously enough,
sometimes two tails are produced in
stead Of one. "-Sdn Francisco CGW

There are many curious facts in
American history. Three Vice Presi-
dents, Gerry, Hendricks and Wilson,
died in November at dates which might
oil come in q single week. No Presi-
dent, either in or out of Office, has died
in November, though six have died in
July and four in June. Garfield died in
September, Lincoln in April, Taylor in
July and Harrison in April. Two Vice
Presidents have been indicted for trea-
son. These were Aaron Burr and John
c. Breckenridge. One Vice President,
John C. Calhoun, resigned his office,
and seven men have held both Presi-
dental and Vice Presidential chairs.
John Adams, Washington's Vice Presi-
dent, succeeded him in the White House.
Jefferson, Adams Vice President, did
likewise, and Martin. Van Buren,, one
of Jackson's Vice Presidents, was his
successor. The other four became Pres.
ident by death. They were Tyler, Eli
more, Johnson and Arthur.

An Alleged Compromise.

The Senate committee on finance has
voted to report favorably upon the
nominations Of q number of internal
revenue collectors whose predecessors
were suspended, and is likely to re-
port all the nominations before it in q
few days. A mutual understanding
between the committee and the secre.
tary Of the treasury has been reached
covering all suspensions from and
nominations to offices which have nc
fixed tenure. The nature of the ar.
rangement is not made public, but o
considerable number of letters have
recently been sent by the secretary tc
the committee in response TO an equa
number of inquiries, and the CORE
spondcnce is still in progress. This
arrangement covers all nominations
before the committee.

committee for consideration, and invited General
Master Workman Powderiy to visit the city and ad-
dress the Association. 1t is believed the invitation

entirely in the transaction Of routine business.
Delegates from each mill made reports to the
dtion of trade the stock hand, the general out
look and the feeling of their fellow workmen regard
ing the wage question. The stock hand was re-
ported light but trade fair with the demand for
goods better than the average and the general
conditions for advance favorable. Nearly all
favored restoration of the schedule of
1884. The concurrent reports from delegates leave
little doubt in the minds of the officials of the asso-
citation about the recommendation of the wage COM
mttee for 10 per cent. advance. Secretary Martin
said to night that the scale would not be considered
