especially is this true of the Anderson Fe-
male College, which has just ended the
first year Of its existence. The closing
exercises of this institution were celebrated
last Thursday night in the Chapel of the
Patrick Military Institute. AS the Presi
dent, Rev. a. A. Marshall, had been too
unWell to take any part in the conduct Of
the school for some months, it was not ex-
pected that the closing exercises would be

many and serious Disadvantages under
which the assistant teachers labored, they
determined to get up an entertainments,
which, while not attempting to be very
snowy, yet such as would demonstrate to
their patrons and friends the solid charac.
ter of the work the College is doing. That
;gramme, which WAS faithfully carried out,
will fully demonstrate to the most incred-
ulQus, especially when it is rememb bered
that the great majority Of those taking
part appeared that evening for the first
time in such capacity. The following is
the programme:

The Cohbler Not Extinct.

A great many people believe that tbe
cobbler is rapidly becoming extinct.
Suoh belief is erroneous. 1t is true that
the improvement in machinery has made
footwear so inexpensive that the man in
moderate circumstances can afford to
replace the old shoes with a new pair
instead Of seeking the cobbler as of
yore. But it is mistake en idea that the
discarded boot or shoe is consigned to
the rubbish heap. There are poor
people who earn their daily bread by
gathering up old shoes and selling them
to secondhand dealers. The dealers
seek out the cobblers, have the dis-
carded' shoes put into presentable shape.
and find customers for them-men and
women who can pay from SOC. to 81 for
o pair of shoes or boots who would be
compelled to walk on their uppersD if
called upon to produce twice or thrice
the amount named. The cobbler NAV
have lost prestige, but he is not nor
will he be. in this generation. extinct.

Iron From Sea Sand.

Among the numerous magnetic separ-
ators which have lately been put before
the public one of the most remarkable is
that for the extraction Of non from sea
sand. It is stated that ordinary sea sand
contains from five to seven per cent. Of
iron, enough, in fact, to give large ex-
cess over cost of extraction. Themachine
is very simple, consisting of a cylinder,
whose surface is composed of electro
magnets, revolving on the inside of an
endless canvas belt. The sand is fed to
the belt, and spray of water separates
the particles, the iron being retained by
the powerful electromagnetic, and carried
off on the belt to receptacle at the other
end, while the sand falls into the trough
below. 1t is claimed that the iron can
thus be extracted for about one eighth of
its value.

Eucalyptus Trees are Anti -Malarial.

The planting of eucalyptus trees for
the purpose of draining the soil in the
malarial districts is one which has met
with some success. The Trefontane
convent at Rome had become positively
uninhabitable, owing to the malaria
which attacked-in many instances with
fatel results-its inmates. Senator
Torelli presented bill proposing that
the estate annexed to the convent should
be planted with eucalyptus as an expert
ment against malaria. The bill was passed
and the Trappist monks planted
thousands of eucalyptus plants of all
species on the estate. But still the
malaria ragged, and several monks suffered
severely. 1t was, however, remarked
that it was only monks who had their
cells looking on the central cloister who
fell victims to the malaria. This
suggested the idea of planting four
eucalyptus trees at the four corners of the
cloister. The plants, sheltered from the
winds, soon grew to great height. The
immediate result was the complete drain
ng of the soil in the cloister and the dis
ppearance of malarial fever from the
onvent.

His Text.

Probably no class of men can COM
pare with the clergy in providing stories
Tor the common stock of literature. If
any one doubts this, he has only to lis
ten to group of preachers on some
social occasion.
The late DIR. Ward, of Yankton, Oak.
was famous for the number of good
stories he could tell. One of the last
recollections which an old friend had of
him was at banquet Of college men,
where he related the following of col
lege classmate who was present:
This classmate was o rising young
minister, very absent-minded, very
earness and very sensitive. Hurrying
to church one Sunday morning and go
ing into the pulpit late, he was Mortified
to discover that he had not his carefully
written sermon with him. The service
had begun by the singing of the
anthem. but he called up one of his
neignDor's boys and gave him hurried
directions about his study and the prob
able location of the sermon, and sent
him post-haste to get it and return as
fast as possible.
The service proceeded and still the
boy did not appear. The young
preacher was in agony. He had never
preached without notes, and the perspir-
alton stood in great beads on his fore
head as he wondered what he would do
il the sermon did not come.
Finally, just as the last stanza of the
hymn which preceded the sermon was
being sung, the boy appeared, rushed
up the aisle conspicuously and handed
the minister his manuscript. The
clergyman took the package nervously,
opened it, and during profound stiffness,
announced the text. Not until he had
spoken it, did the meaning of it flash
over him. 1t was this:
Rejoice with me; for have found
the piece which had lost!"
This was too much for the audience.
The people laughed outright But the
lesson was a good one for the minister,
who never forgot his sermon again
while in that parish. Youths Com
panion.

Harbingers of Ruin.

Several country districts of Transylva-
MIA and eastern Hungary, says DR.. Felix
L. Oswald, have been visited by large
swarms of the Asiatic rose-starling, a bird
somewhat resembling our Southern black
bird, but rarely seen west of the Bos-
phorus. To casual observer a flock of
those winged travellers is a decidedly at
tractive phenomenon. The birds are
restlessly active, playful, and constantly
utter their melodious, fiute-like call-note.
The farmers of eastern Europe, however,
have learned to dread these pretty wan,
derers as harbingers of the Asiatic To-
Gust. They accompany or follow locust
swarms in all their wanderings and snap
up the stragglers of the vanguard by
tens of thousands, but are often left be-
hind by the countless myriads of the
main host.
