Breathing and Thinking.

Let any reader think for a moment Of
what he experiences when he breathes,
and attends to the act. He will find
that his whole frame heaves and sub
sides at the time face, chest, stomach
and limbs are all actuated by his
respiration. Now let him feel his
Thoughts, and he will see that they, too,
heave with the mass. When he enter
tains long thought, he draws long
breath; when he thinks quickly, his
breath alternates with rapid altena-
tions; when the tempest OF anger
shakes his mind, his breath is tumultu-
Gus; when his soul is deep and tran
quill, so is his respiration; when sue
cess initiates him, his lungs are as timid
as his conceits. Let him make trial Of
the contrary; let him endeavor to think
in long stretches at the same time he
breathes in fits and he will find that
It is impossible; that in thir case the
,hopping lungs will mince his thoughts

her University at Oxford, and her other

her University at Oxford, and her other
State investments. The College was
established on the demand of the
farmers Of the State, and in accordance
with contract made by the State and
the United States. and in the interest
OF agricultural and mechanical arts. Ii
the College is carrying out the object
of the United States and State law it
ought to be literally supported. The
State has been most liberal in its appro-
priations and the record shows large
attendance, larger for the time of its
existence than any institution ever
established in the State. Like all new in
sttutions, it has had, and will continue
to have enemies, men who are honestly
opposed to its object and management.
The system of education is different
from that pursued in the older colleges,
and like. all new departures, it is op-
posed by the alumni of the older col
leges generally. 1t must be remem bered
at the beginning of this century not an
agricultural college was in existence.
They nearly all date from the year
lS40 in Europe, and 1865 in the United
States. Most of them arc only twenty
or thirty years old, while the older col
leges run down the centuries with all
their loyal attachments, sympathies,
prejudices and wealth, intensified by
time, influence and power
Congress passed the law establishing
these colleges in 1862, during the war.
They have had to run the gauntlet OF
adverse criticism, under unfruitful and
disloyal surroundings. 1t has been
difficult to get professors, except those
educated under the old system, with
their bias against the new education
Many of the older colleges to get the
| benefit of the endowment of Congress,
established departments or schools Of
agriculture and mechanic arts. These,
as was expected, and in many in
stances desired, proved signal failures.
As the colleges for their life time had
been devoted to general literary, class
ical and professional education, their
reading oDJect "uo 10y atty to these de-
partments and not to the new "anneX, >
which was generally ''set in 4 corner"
to languish, smother and die. The
funds were used to build up the other
departments Of the college, and agri-
cultural and mechanical arts were
'poor kim at the ''rch folks house. "
The failures were pointed to as evidence
that the new system or departure in
education was great mistake. Yet
all the time agriculture is languishing
and other industries forging ahead to
| wealth.

The Durability of Teak-Wood.

So indestructible by wear or decay is
the African teak-wood, that vessels
built of it have lasted fully one hundred
years, to be then broken up only on ac-
count of their poor sailing qualities on
account of faulty models. The wood,
in fact, is one OF the most remarkable
employed in human industries; on the
score Of its very great weight, hardness
and durability, its weight varying
from some forty-two to fifty-two
pounds per cubic foot 1t works
easily, but because of the large
quantity of slick contained in it, the
tools employed in its manipulation are
in short time worn away; it, however,
possesses the advantage of containing
an oil which prevents the spikes and
other iron work with which it may
come in contact from rusting. The diff
ference between this and the East In
dian teak-wood, though both are used
for shipbuilding, is notable; the latter,
which is really the most valuable tim
Der produced in that country, is light
and easily worked, strong, durable not
liable to the attacks Of insects, abounds
in silex, and resembles coarse mahog-
any. The tree requires some sixty
to eighty years growth to produce the
size of timber preferred for shipbuild-
ing, and much of it is used in England
for this purpose. N. Y. Sun.

We know of no breed of fowls that
combine beauty and utility to greater
extent than White Leghorns.
They are handsome fowls under any
circumstances, but in the country,
where their delicate plumage is not
soiled by the dust and smoke OF the
city, they appear to the best advantage.
Indeed, it is hard to conceive more
pleasing sight than a flock of thorough
bred White Leghorns ranging about at
will over the yard and fields, through
the fresh, green grass.
Their snow-white plumage, bright
yellow legs and large, red combs make
them look thoroughbred and superior to
the mongrel in every respect.
But their superiority is not all on the
surface, for with their grace and beauty
they combine utility. They lay early
and often, and large eggs at that, and
like the fowls themselves, their eggs are
beautifully White SueIleu.
sWhile, as rule, they are non-setters,
vet, now and then one will be found
that will cluck. and even for while,
but it is risky business to put eggs
under them. for they soon get tired OF
the nest, and the chances are nine out
of ten.that after setting for few days
the tickle creature will leave the nest
for the roost.
While the thoroughbred White Leg
horn hen always does her part as a
layer, yet it is the best plan to place
her eggs under some other kind of hen,
and for this latter purpose the common
barnyard hen has no superior. .-7en-

GOOD AND EVIL.
How to Strength then the Former and Neu-

How to Strengthen the Former and Neu-
tralize tho Latter.
In every character there is both good
and evil. As rule, the evil is easier
seen than the good; but the good is bet
ter worth seeing. II, indeed, the evil
SO predominates that the character is ut
terly unworthy OF confidence or of
companionship, it is a simple matter to
turn away from it, or to counsel others
to do so. But if the character is to be
tolerated at all, then it is both wiser
and nobler to recognize the good in
that character, and to give no promin-
ence to the evil which is there. This
recognition of the good in a character
is an incentive to well-doing on the part
of the one thus generously considered,
and it tends to the developing of the OBJ
servers nobler nature; while the giving
of prominence to the bad side of another's
nature and conduct tends to lower both
the observer and the observed. In fact,
he who is quick to perceive anothers
better side, is means of good to HIM
self and to another, while he who is
quick to point out the evil in another,
injures both himself and the one he
criticises. S S Times

The Great File Invention.

When | lived in Chicago q queer
chap invented a cheap way to make
files. A bit OF hot steel went into his
machine. and the file was made at
single blow, and fell into a tank Of
strong mineral water to cool. Then q
bare-armed workman thrust in his hand
and felt around, and brought it up for
inspection. The files thus made were
a little imperfect. but were good ones.
and he explained that the machine was
a small experimental one, and could
not, of course, do perfect work as q
large and powerful machine would.
Capitalists went around and examined
the machine, and saw him heat the steel
in a hand-forge and put it in the ma
chine. and saw the red-hot file come
out and drop into the water, and they
tried the file with their own hands on
iron which they had brought from
home, and found it excellent. The
only secret was the chemical water into
which the files dropped and which gave
them edge. A company was formed
and money was paid in freely to enable
tho iurontor to maRo a set of large
machines; and when that was done he
disappeared. 1t was fraud. He had
bought good files and deiaced them q
little, and stocked his tank with them.
His machine stamped the bit of steel
into file shape, and it dropped into the
water with the files, and his workman.
who was in collusion, felt around and
brought up file instead of the steel

And to pat him on the cheek,
He will look and Sct as do,
But he'll never, never speak.
There's baby in the mirror,
There's q baby In the spoon,

Where l go they always come,
But never hear them talking,

WiDE-AWAKE GERMANY.
How Bismarck Is Informed Of Uncle Sans
Military Secrets.

Military Secrets.
The announcement by cable that the
German Government has ordered a
military attache, Lieutenant Eckard-
stein, to report to the German Minister
in this country, and investigate, prepar-
atory to a report to his War Depart
ment, every thing Of interest concern
ing the American army and navy, forti'
fications, equipments, etc, has attract
ed o.little attention among army and
navy officers.
To any one acquainted with the work
ings OF the War Department of Ger
many, it is needless to state that there
is not a fort or a ship belonging to the
United States of which full and accu-
rate description can not be obtained
from among the thousands of pigeon
holes in their Intelligence Bureau.
To imagine that Lieutenant Eckard-
stein is the first German officer who has
been sent on this mission is simply alb
surd. 1t was only the other day at the
trial of the fifteen-inch dynamite gun
at Fort Lafayette that a close observer
was poted among the spectat0rs-a
sharp-eyed little man, dressed in
long. close-fitting plaid overcoat, who
watched with the greatest attention
every working of the gun, and listened
to every word of opinion let fall. That
same little man is directing in part the
prodigious efforts now making by Ger
man officers to gather additional infor-
nation concerning some OF our fortifi
cations.
He was no other than the Baron Won
Stomberg OF the imperial German army,
an officer OF high rank and ability, and
lust the one to be detailed for work OF
so great Importance. He made his ap-
perance unexpectedly on the scene, but
was recognized at once by Cap
tain Zalinski and several naval Off
GERS. OF course he was given all the
attention which could be accorded a
foreign officer by those of a friendly
power -..
The policy of the German Govern
lnent is to keep itself thoroughly in
formed in regard to the military and
naval strength of the United States, as
well as of other countries. German
officers of high rank have travelled over
this country in the garb Of a laborer,
of countryman, of a apeddler, or
any such mask which will serve to gain
admission to places where their pres
ence would not be allowed were their
objects known.
This espionage, carried on not only
by the Germans, but by other powers
in this country, came to the knowledge
of some prominent military men about
six years ago. A large number of
German officers had been obtaining
drawings and plans Of the most accurate
descriptions of all our system of de-
fenses.
Secretly investigating this matter it
was found, to the astonishment of those
so engaged, that German officers had
actually enlisted in the United States
army as private soldiers, had remained
in garrison few weeks, and then de-
serted; this period of a few weeks being
all that was sufficient for their gaining
every point of Information that could in
any possible contingency be utilized. -

and pin, and said he paid Nelson 50 cents
for them. He hunted up Nelson and made
him bring the stolen articles back to Mr..
Kiser. Nelson begged hard not to be
prosecuted, and said he would never do so
again and would be willing to take a
whipping. Mr.. Kiser refused to admins

whip on Nelson until it was concluded he
had enough for his misconduct.
