The Russellville Democrat., 1889-01-31

Nearly every writer on social science has to lament the disinclination of boys to learn trades. It can only Do the effect of the general sentiment that the acquire ment of tradesmans skill is something that should be beneath the ambition of a bright boy. How foolish this notion is. How many thousands of boys have failed to become useful, and even great men, by taking some false aims in life. There are not wanting numerous reminders in the lives of great men that thero can be no more honorable ard dignified calling than that of the man who is engaged in making something useful to the world with his own hands. The boys should be taught the history of great men of the class re- ferred to, and then they wouldn't all want to be lawyers, and doctors, and poets, and ministers, or members of those over crowded professions in which there can be found as large a proportion of unhonored names as there can be found among black smiths. It is better to be good black smith than poor lawyer, doctor or min ister. It is apt to pay better in both wealth and health, and moreover, there is nothing to prevent the blacksmith from learning as much about law, music, lltera' ture, astrcnomy, etc, as any man in any other business, and the lives of many prove this fact. The indsposition of boy to learn trades is not due to the want of ambition but the ignorance of tho best paths to the attainment of ambition. - Philadelphid Inquirer.
The Russellville Democrat., 1889-01-31

It is subject of constant specuIa- ton what effect this change of position will have upon the character of the sex. The sex has always despised a man who is not independent and self sustaining. The men have liked wom- en who were not too independent. Will women be less attractive to men as they become less helpless, and will their independence work a subtle change in their nature, which will be increasing as time goes on, ac- cording to the laws of heredity9 Will the habit of self-reliance, of taking active part in business, perhaps in politics (for good many women are saying that they will be willing to vote and run, or saunter, for office, if Provi- dence puts the ballot in their hands), put certain other admirable qualities in place of the acknowledged feminine graces and charms2 This is an open question, and one much more lmpor- tant than the tariff or the surplus even the reported surplus of women in certain States. For it can not be but that the education of women and their increasing freedom of action will as virtually affect this Nation as it has all ready affected the visible aspect of modern life.

DAMAGE BY MOISTURE.
The sweating of Goods in Iron ships the
 Latest Peril Of the Sea.

Latest Perfi or tne rfds
 Genuine sea damage, L C., damage by actual contact with sea water t goods on board ship, has largely de creased since wood gave place to iror and steel in the building of ships. and sail to steam. Iron does not offer the opportunities which wood does tc water to find it's way into the holds oi vessels. The consequence is that per ishable cargoes are more safely carried than they were so far as sea damage is concerned. But there Is an internal enemy to the soundness of cargo, as well as the external salt water, in the shape of condensed moisture arising from the goods themselves. And un- fortunately the damages caused by this peril seem to be on the increase. Sometimes when cargo is improperly shipped damp and shut up in the hold of vessel on long voyage, it is to be expected that the moisture will evapo- rate and damage other goods on board. Tn such a case, of course, both uer- chant and captain are to blame, the merchant for rendering and the captain for receiving goods likely to damage others.
 But sweat is not confined to goods shipped wet, rice, for instance, may be apparently perfectly dry wiIer shipped, and yet may become very hot and emit vapor while lying closely slowed in gunny bags in the hold. The vapor rises. and, coming into con. tact with the cold ceiling, condenses, and either falls onto the top tier oI goods, causing damage. or runs down the internal sides of the ship. and un- less the cargo be well dunnaged. dam. ages the bottom tier. Rice Is not the only article liable to sweat Among others are skins, wheat, some nuts, and copra, which last are sun-dried broken kernels of the cocoanut. The number of ships reaching our ports which carry among their cargo one or more articles liable to emit vapor is a considerable portion of the whole. and merchants and underwriters find, to their cost, increasing damages from internal causes. In some cases mer. chants have gone on receiving dam aged goods for Il long time before they suspected the true cause of the wet ting or mold, and underwriters have continued to settle claims as for sea damage without suspecting, or il sus- a1a la fn that the Appreciated goods had not been in actual contact with sea water. It is, however, important to distin- guish between the two causes of dam age, for the reason that the one comes with:7. the meaning of the expression .perils of the sea" /" while the other does not. t.-London Economist.

Blowing Out Electric Lamps.

Lately many cases of trying to blow out electric lights have been reported as we'll as trying to ignite paper from the globe while in the act of getting a light for cigar or pipe, the victim not recollecting that the gas or kero- sene lamp had been removed. A case of the first kind is quite Imaginable. At a certain store in the north end of the city an electric light has been put in. When the time for shutting up came the proprietor said to his assistant: Willie, put out the light Now a kerosene lamp had been in the store all the time, and the clerk was always in the habit of taking a long blower and then putting it out. This evening was no exception to the rule, and the clerk blew away for some little time without any result The proprietor came along, and seeing the trouble took the blower and with the other hand caught the knob. turning the light out, at the same time blowing through the instrument that generally put the light out, The clerk was somewhat astonished at the result but did not catch on, and the next attempt will be watched with interest, provid- ed he does not see this article.
