PORTUGAL AND AFRICA
The Revolutionary Party viii Try TO
Overthrow the Monarchy


LONDON, June "a Madrid dispatch
says: According TO current report the
revolutionary party Of Portugal intends
shortly 10 make another effort for the
overthrow Of the monarchy, and that the
news OF the encounters between the
British and Portuguese in South Africa
has greatly strengthened the movement.
Among the people the feeling toward
England Is one OF the utmost exaspera-
tlon, which Is none the less bitter because
they feel their inability TO do England
any serious harm. Appeals have been
received for reinforcements, but the only
message TO Africa, since the encounter,
has been one directing the Portuguese TO
remain within bounds, and not, under any
circumstances, fight with the English, as
| the Portuguese government feels CONT
dent that England will repay any damage
| or tresDags done.

Tho Silent CIub.

A queer club was once established In
London, under the title OF the Silent
Club. The members were bound to ex-
press themselves at all club meetings, as
far as possible, without words. The
first rule Of the club was: "The mem-
beers Of this Academy shall think much,
write little, and be as mute as they can"
On one occasion new candidate APP
piled for admission. But the members
we're limited aud all vacancies filled. A
meeting was called, the Candidate was Ia
Be introduced, and the President was 10
announce his decision. When the gen.
sieman entered, the members, who were
all his friends, werc as much disap-
pointed as he that he was TO be refused.
As be approached tde President rose,
sod silently handed him a cup Of water,
30 full that a single drop would have
made II overflow.
Tile applicant perfectly understood
what che President meant, but he was
courageous and quick witted. Without
speaking he took from his button-hole =
single rose and laid IL gently on top Of
the water He laid 1t on so softly that
not drop was displaced, aud handed it
back to the President with bow.
With one consent the members ap-
plauded. They resolved to put their rule
aside, and to admit the man who showed
lhon that he could ornament their so
ciety without hurting it.
Then the man thanked them In an
equally curious way. When the register
was handed him 10 be signed he wrote
below his name the number OF the club
members-100. He added before it an
0, making 1t 0100. Underneath he
wrote, ''Their value win be the same.s
The man was 50 modest that the Presi-
dent complimented him Immediately BY
rubbing out the and substituting the
figure 1. This made the number i100s
Underneath be wrote, ''Their value will
be increased eleven times"
These ingenious people must have de-
voted great deal Of time and thought
20 avoid using their tongues.-Hagper's
Young People.

We colIGte aud condense the following
facts from some interesting data as col
lected by VIM. +. Durfee, well known
as the first manufacturer of Bessemer
steel this side of the Atlantic:
Iron ore first named in American his
tory by Thomas Harriet. the geographer
of the second expedition to Virginia.
This expedition was menaced by In
dams aud returned to England in 1886.
The first shipment Of iron ore to En-
gland was made at jamestown, Va, in
1908. 1t consisted of seventeen tons,
and was sold to the East India Company
at $40 per ton. Iron works were begun
near the same place in 1920, but were
destroyed by the Indians IN 1922, and
BAT colonists massacIed.
In 1643 the first iron works fairly
established were erected in Massachu-
sets, about ten miles east Of Boston.
The first piece of hollowware was cast
at Lynn in 1915.
During the French war in 1775 num-
Der of furnaces we're in operation in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
Maryland, where cannon balls and
bombs were cast in great variety.
In 1871 there were six furnaces for
hollowware in New England, and nine
teen bloomaries for bar iron, one Sitting
mill aud mandatory of nails.
In 1850 there were four rolling mills
in the colonies.
In 1778 the most notable event in the
manufacture of iron was the making Of
an iron chain at the Sterling Iron
Works, twenty-five miles from West
Point. 1t weighed 1870 tons and was
hung across the Hudson River to bar
the passage of British vessels.
In 1916 the first mill was erected in
the United States to puddle iron. 1t
was built at Plumsock, Pa.
In 1910 the rotary squeezer was in
vented by Henry Burden, of Troy, and
the manufacture of Nasmyth's direct
acting steam hammer was begun in
Philadelphia in l843.
The first successful use Of anthracite
for smelling iron in blast furnaces was
made in 1880, in Potiston, Pa.

It is a strange thing that those who
are not satisfied with the progress their
church is making, do not go TO work
and do something, and thus lift the
stigma from their do.nothing church.
But il has always been the case that
the grumblers do nothing in the way Of
pushing things along. II your church
is not moving along as fast as it should,
it is because you are not making any
effort to have il move. A cart will not
60 up hill Of its own accord. But il the
horse be attached to it, and you lock
the wheels going up grade, 1t will only
make it more difficult to ascend. Poor
deluded soul, it is the same with your
church 1t will not make progress un-
less you get into the harness; but even
then, il you lock the wheels with a
grumble, it will be difficult work at
best. We are of the opinion that moth
ing will so completely cure church
grumbler as downright hard work in
the Masters cause. Christian World.
