a young man just to exhibit your power. a.
some girls do; it is unkind. And be lust
as careful what young woman you are
friendly with, as I would have you to be
about Young men. A girl is always Judged
by,her friends; keep ciYilly aloof from the
sffast % the slaney. the giggling girls Won
will too surely meet. Choose your COM
pany more carefully than your dress, for
your friends are the true index Of your
moral and mental status.
FULFILLING DESTINY
Nothing can ever retrieve the mistakes
you make now in these respects; you are
now making history" the history OF your
life.
God never made among all the exquisite
things Of creation a more lovely, enehant-
ing. exquisite, admirable creature than
fresh, pure, charming young girl, 1uu OF
unselfsh thought for others, gentle, gra-
eious and spotless. Not the milk-Whlte
and stately June lilies are so radiant IN
their stainless candor as such girl;
no tropic blossom vies with her
health-eolored face beaming with the
light Of the sweet soul within her;
she is the flower and crown of humanity.
All, my dear, fulfill this destiny waiting for
you, and you will become to your household
and the world one of the 'angels that are to
be, +" one of the American girls" who shall
help TO redeem their country and their peo-
pie from the stigma that-I say it with PAIN
and regret-our own countrymen have cast
upon those whom they should have been the
first to defendl

grating toward mountain and shore; but fly

three minutes ensues, during which Punter
slowly examines the pages Of an ancient

come down last week, sir, and so you see,
sir, the song has not yet reached US. No

Fifty yards higher up the hill is Dump,
the hair dresser's, who occasionally trims
my flowing locks. Dumps emporium has
the college arms over the doorway, on an
antique signboard, and embraces cricket
bats, balls, hockey and gait sticks, cutlery,
soap of at least tour kinds, three sponges,
two umbrellas and Mechi's razor strop. The
shop is about II yards by 10, with a short
strip of counter on one side, opposite to
which, in the corner, small square of
space is boxed of, with one door opening
behind the counter and another into the do
main of customers. This inner chamber is
the sanetum sanctorum, where all the mys-
teries of brush, comb, scissors and razors
are conducted precisely as Dump achieved
them 90 years ago.

and Dump may be taken as types of nine
tenths of the Winchester shopkeepers; OBJ
sequiously polite, profuse in promises and
not to be relied on. Punter wasted fort
night in not getting the song, and Dump,
when called again, was busy on another

sold in this habitat of Kings, Archbishops,
Cardinals, warriors, mobiles and statesmen
are poor in quality and as costly as if first

ORIGIN OF LYNCH LAW.
A Revolutionary Hero Who Applied the Law
of Force TO Rogues.


1t is not generally known that the term
"lynch law" originated in Campbell county,
Va, before the Revolutionary War. At
that period the country was thinly settled
and was infested with Tories and despera-
does-too many of them, apparently, fot the
local authorities TO adequately pun
ish. Colonel Charles Lynch, dis
tinguished officer of the revolu-
tionary army, undertook to rid his coun-
try of the outlaws. He organized force,
arrested the outlaws, and having satisfied
himself and comrades of the guilt of the
accused, executed them without reference to
the constituted authorities. While not alto
gether approving OF the desperate remedy
for desperate cause, the beneficial effect of
Colonel Iynch's action was recognized, and
has since been known as 'Lynch's Law"
or Lynch law"
Lynch's process of melting out speedy
justice extended to other parts of the
country, and is well recognized form of
redress of grievances to-day, particularly
for that class of offences that are popularity
believed not to be adequately punished by
the statutes and courts of the State. Col
onel Lynch's brother gave his name to
Lynchburg, and left son who was subse-
quently Governor of Louisiana.

ENAMEL AS AN INSULATION.

The Great Obstacle to the Use of Under-
ground Wires Overcome.
A correspondent of the London Elec-
trician writes as follows: ''I have recently
made an invention which consider of the
greatest value to the electrical trade, and 1
shall be glad to publicly give them the ben
eft of my invention. 1 find that such
articles as the cores of electro-magnets, bob
bins, and, believe, even wire, can be
coated with enamel or similar vitreous sub
stance, and that this acts az splendid iu-
sulator and protection for the wire to be
wound thereon. 1t can also be used for the
inside coating of iron tubes for the carrying
of underground wires"

MORE TALENT NEEDED.
A Causric Criticism of American Organs and
0rzanisfA

A Caustic Criticism of American Organs and
Orzanisrs.
The ART journal says this country is
world of noble organs and inefficient organ
lists. Americans can build organs that are
masterpieces, that hold within their forests
of pipes the very soul of divinest harmony.
But America cannot produce even fairly
good organist for every superb organ built,
nor yet one such for every hundred first
class pipe organs bearing the name Of
an American builder Meanwhile the
natural love for church organ music
grows and expands. This is the result of
foreign travel, bringing before the Ameri-
can the nobiest instrument of the Old
World, touched by men fitted to call forth
the great soul hidden behind the pipes,
manuals and registers. OF the building of
complete and costly and rich-7oice organs
in this country, there is no end, while of
the evolving of organists capable of doing
full justice to these instruments, there is
scarcely a beginning. The utter ineon-
gruity of placing a $500 organist in charge
Of $4,000 or $4,000 organ is painfully
manifested to the worshiper in the sanetu-
ary graced by such an instrument. A Stradi-
vorius or a priceless Cremona in the horny
hands Of hatboatman would scarcely be
less out of place than is q riehly-endowed
pipe organ before youth whose living is
earned by a clerkship, and who ekes out his
salary as an organist. 1t is not his fault that
the possibilities of the instrument are as
much beyond him as are the depths of
the ocean unfathomable by his yard
stick. The fault lies with the church mem
bers, who pay royalty for an organ and in
niggardly fashion for an organist. The finer
the instrument the more deplorable iF,the
discrepancy. And thus the new organ Is
regarded as failure, and the cause OF &C.
elesiastical music suffers. Yet the fault is
that of the congregation in general, and not
of the inefficient organist.

RAILROAD TRAINING SCHOOLS.
Educating Young Men in All the Details OF
Modern TRANSFORMATION.

Modern Transportation.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has at its
shops in Altoona q unique school for train
ing candidates for positions in the transpor-
tation department.. Graduates of universi-
ty scientific courses are eligible for iustrue-
tion in the school, such as those who have
studied in the ToSae Scientific Department
of the University of Pennsylvania, in the
Troy Polytechnic School, the Rensselaer,
Institute and other schools of that descrip-
ton.
There are no classes, no set hours, no reg
ular instructors at Altoona. As many
students as can be notwithstanding
a dozen or so-are taken into the training
school. Some are put to work firing loco
tives, some In the machine or car shops,
some in the draughting room, and others
again at maintenance-of-way work. These
college-bred learners are expected to work
in any department to which they are as
signed, side by side with the regular en-
ployes, and are salaried like the regulars
There Is system of graded pay by which
those who show application and ability can
steadily increase their income.
It is from the ranks of those who have
gone through this school that the railroad
company recruits the upper grades of its
officials Whenever positions are vacant
the department heads have these tried
students to select from, and the consequences
is that an efficient service is maintained. So
successful has the working of this scheme
been that in q number of cases prominent
Eastern railroads in need of sub-oficials
have sought to get hold of men graduated
from the training school.

Tomb Of Rufts.

Tomb Of RuftsS. Basingstoke, on
ward to the stronghold of Sarum and Bath,
in hollow along the pleasant streams Of
the Itchen, lies the once royal city of Win
chester. 1t has dwindled down now to a
third rate country town of $4,000 people,
and as we walk from the railway station,
half mile of, by struggling row of small
villas and pseore of small, dingy shops,
down hill all the way, one can hardly be-
lieve we are actually entering the city
where William the Norman once ruled
with royal splendor, where the Angevian
line of kings lived and died; Richard, the
Lionhearted, after his escape from prison,
was received with shouts of welcome, and
where William of Wykeham completed
one of the noblest cathedrals in England
and built and endowed the old college and
school of St. Mary, A. D. 1882, which ranks
with the royal foundations of Eton and
Westminster
The town is built on the side of hill and
slopes down into the valley, and through
the center of it, as a backbone, runs the
main, or High street, from which most of
the others branch away into many dismal
windings. 1t is place of many small and
dingy churches-some of great antiquity
of many hospitals and refugees for the aged,
sick and poor, 1t possesses free public
library and reading room, a Town Hall
(brand new), the ruins of a goodly castle
built by the Norman Cenqueror whereof the
great hall still stands, and where may still
be seen King ArthuT's round table, which
was regarded as a curiosity IN the DAYS of
Henry VI. Its charter, as a corporate body,
dates back for zoo years, to the far-off DAYS
of Henry IL, who here feasted his friendly
ally Malcolm, King of Scotland, as well as
the Duke of Saxony, whose wife, Maud,
gave birth to son from whom sprang the
present royal family of England.
IN ANCIENT TIMES.
On st. Giles hill, outside the city, for
many long century was held the famous
fair which brought merchants, traders and
visitors from every part of Europe. The
streets Of booths stretched far across the
hills, and down into the valley, all the way
up to the famous "West Gate strong
hold built by King Stephen and still stand
ing. But, in spite of all this, and score of
other such attractions, in these days of life
and progress the old city seems but half
awake. An air of fusty, musty. dusty, Sec
ond-hand furniture and inferior goods,
reigns supreme over the streets, the shops
and the faces of the natives.
Go into Punter's musical depot and YOU
will feel stagnation creep over you in a
trice. Punter receives you gravely, with
slow bow, as if to say, "Don't be in a
hurry" i called, >" you say, Ito ask if the
music ordered last week has arrived?"
