The Shermanites Of Alabama.

In Leeds valley. in the vicinity OF
Birmingham. Ala, there is a colony
composed of religious sect known as
the Shermanites. There are about one
hundred families, and a happier. more
conteuted people can not be found in
the world. Their religious rites and
ceremonies are peculiar. Who founded
the society none OF them seem to know,
but it is old, as the fathers and grand
fathers of the present generation were
Shermanites. They claim to follow
the teachings of the New Testament
in spirit and letter. and they believe
that only Shermanites will inherit the
Kingdom of Heaven. They have
churches and preachers and worship
in a manner similar to many other
sects. One of their peculiar rites is
the washing of feet A foot-washing
service is held once every month. at
which the preacher washes the feet OF
every member of the church. The
members then in turn wash the feet
of the preacher and of each other.
They are Industrious and scrupulously
honest Divorce and drunkenness are
unknown among them. The men
never cut their hair or beards.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial-Gazette.

Ancient Iron and Steel.

The oldest pieces of wrought iron
now known are probably the sickle
blade found by Belzoni under the base
of a sphinx in Karnac. near Thebes;
the blade found by Colonel Vyse inn
bedded in the masonry of the great
pyramid, and the portion of a cross
cut saw exhumed at Nimrod by Mr..
Layard-all Of which are now in the
British Museum. A wrought bar Of
Damascus steel was presented by King
Porus to Alexander the Great. and the
razor steel of China for many cent
uries surpassed all European steel in
temper and durability Of edge. The
Hindoos appear to have made wrought
iron directly from the ore, without
passing it through the furnace. from
time immemorial, and deliberately
wrought masses are still found In
India which date from the early cent
uries Of the Christian era

OLD COLLEGE DAYS.
Why American Boys Have No Reason 20
Desire Their Return.

Why American Boys Have NO fse8son 20
Desire Their Return.
American college boys have no
reason to desire the return OF the
'good old days" In the early days of
Yale and Harvard the English system
of tagging" was in active force.
A freshman was not allowed to
wear his hat in the college yard unless
it was raining or showing. Fresh
men were required to do servile work
for any member of the faculty or OF
the higher classes at any time OF the
day, except study-hours or after nine
p. m They were also required to
shake and dust the college carpets
once a year, and to furnish. at their
own expense. all the bats. balls and
footballs used by the students. In
some colleges corporal punishment was
in force, and pecuniary fines were i'm
posed for minor Offenses.
A comparison of these fines is in
teresting. The amount exacted for
living, drunkenness and fighting was
thirty cents, while the fine for card
playing was one dollar. Six cents was
imposed for too late attendance at
church, while twelve cents was the
penalty for too early an attendance.
this discrimination being made be.
cause it was found that the young
men were in the habit of standing al
the church door before service and
annoying those who entered.
We are glad to have seen the last Of
these good old days. Nothing was
ever gained by cruelty and oppres'
sion, and we can not help feeling that
many a boy had to leave college in
his freshman year to escape from
these impositions who might have
been q great man.-Golden Days.

PATENTS AND PROGRESS.
Marvellous Changes Wrought by Invoat-
ors In Half Century.

Marvellous Changes Wrought by 1nvoat-
ors In Half Century.
One need not be very old to have a
distinct recollection Of his daily life.
its conditions and environments. fifty
years ago, when the patent system or
the United States was in its early in
fancy. Then the country was almost
entirely agricultural, for our grand
career in manufactures and the indus
trial arts was just beginning. tvirt-
ually began with the patent system
the creation of the patent office--and
it has actually kept pace with the de-
velopment of the system, so that this
magnificent progress stands as the In
disputable results of the system. In
other words. we owe our splendid
achievements in manufactures and the
arts to the stimulus that the patent
laws have given to invention.
Fifty years ago most OF the people
of the United States were clothed from
the products of the domestic spinning
wheel and hand loom. The itinerant
shoemaker went from house to house,
setting up his bench and plying his
vocation in the farmers kitchens.
There were no planing-mills; no shops
for the manufacture Of doors, sashes
or blinds. All the work of the builder,
including carpenters and joiners'
work, was done by hand. The car
penter, if good one. got one dollar a
day. Coal was consumed but by few
families even in the large cities, and
by nobody in the smaller towns. The
tailors, like tho shoemakers, came to
the house and made into clothing the
cloth woven by the mother and daugh-
tiers. with little help from the fulling-
mill that was generally near the grist-
mill of tho neighborhood. The railroad
and telegraph had not yet added their
powers to the forces Of civilization.
This year, 1889. is no more like 1889
than the hand-loom is like the cotton
factory. Better fifty years of Europe
than a cycle of Cathay." Better one
wear of the life that is lived under the
new conditions than any number OF
wears of the hard existence that was
drudged out under the old conditions.
It is only the hopeless pessimistic
soul, the constitutional and incurable
grumbler, that does not recognize the
blessings that have come with the
march of invention. For all those. lei
it be borne in mind, We are indebted tc
the system that has fostered invention
and secured to inventors the right tc
enjoy the products Of their own brains
and hands. Age.

COLD WATER CURE.

The Efficacy Of Baths In All Varieties Of
Fever.
The most rapid and certain way OF
abstracting heat from the body is by
The cold bath. Within few years
this has been extensively used in the
treatment of typhoid fever. tits. how
ever, by no means new. In 1777 Dr.
William Wright, who afterward be-
came president Of the college of ply
sicians, Edinburgh, was attacked with
fever on shipboard. On the fifth day
he caused himself to be douched with
cold salt water, and continued this re-
peatedly for several days with the hap-
piest results. A few years later 17S7-
92) the celebrated DIR. Currie en-
ployed the cold bath in 1853 recorded
cases of fever. Recent statistics COM
piled by DR.. Simon Baruch are simply
astounding in their results. In 2.150
cases of typhoid fever, collected from
various sources by Brand, which were
treated with ''strict cold baths" before
the fifth day, there did not occur sim
gle death. In 1852 cases under diff
ferent methods of treatment, collected
bv Murchison, the rate of mortality
was IS 81 per cent The revival Of the
treatment Of typhoid fever by the cold
bath dates from publication by DIR.
Brand in 1861. The routine of this
treatment Is to immense the patient in
q bath. at temperature of 60 degrees.
for fifteen minutes every three hours.
50 long as his temperature Is as high
as lO3 degrees. It is, of course. es-
sential that patientssbe placed in the
bsth and removed from the bath to the
bed with the least possible fatigue.

MY PARDNER, BILL.
The Story Of a Lonely Grave on
the Mountain-Side.

The train on the Santa Fe road, due
an hour later at Pueblo, stopped at
way station long enough for solitary
passenger to get on.
The person in question was man
past middle age. of medium stature,
firmly and compactly built, who would
not have attracted a second look, how
ever. but for the fact that his face was
badly disfgured by curious scar on
his right cheek, in shape exactly re-
sembling a Greek cross.
The new conner found a seat beside
me, threw up the sash and became alb
sorbed in the scenery along the road,
his interest increasing as the train
presently swept along pretty valley.
Suddenly he turned half way round,
touched my arm, and, pointing
through the open window, said, very
abruptly: Say. stranger. do you see
that pile O rocks yonder on the slope?
Well, that's Bills grave"
The mans action and speech startled
me trifle, but looked out and saw,

Having delivered this short speech
the man lapsed into silence, with a
PARKWAY, dreamy look. as if recalling
events long past. But his words had
aroused my curiosity, and at the risk
of interrupting the strangers reverie
] finally veutured to ask: who was
Bill, sir, whose grave is yonder?"
Ny companion gave sudden start;
then. recovering himself he answered;
didn't know Bill. Ell? OF course not,
