Progress in the Mechanics.

The inventive genius of man is con-
stantly asserting itself. As fresh evil
dence Of this it is stated that radical
change has been effected in the practice
of saw-mending by the introduction Of
electric welding. Formerly it was neo
essary to cut down to smaller size any
saw from which one or two teeth had
been broken, and thus not only was the
difference in price between the two
saws lost, but also the entire cost OF the
labor in cutting the original saw. Now
when tooth is broken out new tooth
is fitted in and electrically welded into
place, and drop of oil applied after
ward effectually restores the temper of
the saw to serviceable point. This
process is used in the regular work Of
making the joint in continuous band
saws as well as for replacing broken
teeth in finished saws.

The Wonders OF Invention.

A queer submarine boat, for which
the inventor claims some wonderful
things, yet to be attempted, has been
launched at the Detroit boat works. 1t
is the invention of a Chicago man. The
propellers are reversible and placed
amidships. They are intended to regu-
late the immersion of the boat and pro-
pei it. The craft is forty feet in length,
nine feet in width and fourteen feet
in depth. 1t is elliptical in shape, and
it draws eight feet of water. A cover
of prepared canvas is stretched over the
oak frames, and that is covered with
one-inch plank. The boat will with.
stand pressure of eighty-six feet OF
water. Air is slowed at a pressure OF
fifteen pounds, and sufficient can be
stored to last three men for several
hours while the boat is submerged. An
observing tower two feet in height is
on top of the boat.

Enthusiastic for Boies,

An enthusiastic Missonrian, who
desires democratic success next year,
writes characteristic letter to the
st. Louis Republic, advocating the
nomination of Horace Boies, of Iowa,
for President. He concludes his
argument as follows: Il wish to say
that Grover Cleveland has not a
warmer or more enthusiastic adnirer
upon this continent for his admirable
administrative abilities and his pure
and patriotic motives than he has in
me; but Grover Cleveland stands no
more chance OF being the next presi-
dent than an elephant has of flying
from Iowa to New York. But there
is gentleman in Iowa, who, if nomi-
mated, will take q special car for
Washington as the president elect,
where he may be joined by the vice.

Truth-Telling As an Art.

Telling the truth is an art, but not
nearly SO difficult an art as telling lies.
1t is within reach of any mans power,
if he will take time and pains to relate
the thing that is. 1t takes man Of i'm.
agination and strong memory to bring
forth the thing that is not. Besides,
the liar cannot carry his lie all over the
world and back to the creation. At
some point or other he must piece it
onto the universal truth. and to do that
neatly he must be coed workman.
But this is only part OF the greater
question as to vice and virtue generally,
says writer in All the Year Round.
Virtue is for all who love it. In order
to become an accomplished villain a
man must have natural aptitude, care
full training and immense powers of ap-
plication. And at any time the villain
may be ruined, as villain, by the un-
expected coming to life Of conscience.

Judging Character.

It is by little things that we form our
estimates OF character. We may not
often have opportunities Of judging by
notable deeds and valorous action - to
the true nature of the acquaintance we
casually meet or the companion with
whom we walk and work from day to
day, but trifcs are always In the air by
which we infer much as to their heart
and brain and intention. I saw .
charming young girl the other morning,
writes Amber, in the Chicago Herald,
discard rose because its leaves were
a bit withered and its freshness just q
triflc diminished by exposure to the
cold winter air. After the young girl
had gone | carefully gathered up the
fallen petals she had left almost as I
would have befricnded an abandoned
baby or a lost child, and thought to
myself as did SO: "I'll wager q cookey
that girl would prove tickle in love and
inconstant in friendship" To cast
aside fading rose bespeaks light
hearted indifference that might lead
one to forget the sweetness of q friend
when that friend had reached the time
of LIES decline, or to dismiss lover
when that lover grew pale and worn
and tired in the friction of the worlds
uneven contest with sorrow and want
and care. It is the prerogative of youth
and beauty to be little hard and cruel.
An old lady would not have thrown
away q Jack rose because it had
dropped from its first loneliness. Ex-
perience broadens and deepens and
swcetens the heart Of the old and makes
them loyal to the friend, the lover and
the rose of vanished but unforgotten
youth.

THERE is no doubt of the wonderful
progress making in the "higher educa-
ton" of women. In very few matters
are the college girls behind the college
boys, and at the present rate of prog.
ress they will soon be far ahead in
many things until lately distinctly pc.
culiar to male collegians. Wellesley
girls lately had an exciting pillow rush,
and now news comes from the Pacific
coast Of some highly interesting dcvel-
opments in the practice of hazing
among the young lady students in .
seminary near San Jose. Among other
things the girl sophs tied q rope around

around playfully until she tainted, and
she was afterwards quite ill. Invcsti-
cation disclosed many similar evid ences

GOLD mining nowadays means . very
great deal more than mere gold digging,
and the miner with the pick and shovel
outfit is very ancient number. The
Lemhi Gold Placer Company, Of Idaho,
began few days ago to construct q
twcnty-mile ditch, to convey water to
its mines at Lemhi. The ditch is to be
ten feet wide at the bottom, will re-
quire six million feet of lumber in its
construction, and will cost about two
hundred thousand dollars. It's expected
that about six miles of the ditch will
be completed within q year.

TWO UNFORTUNATE N0nI-
NATIONS.

The President, probably through
design, has appointed to high place
In the administration Of the affairs Of
the country and the Interpretation Of
the laws, two Of the most corrupt
men in the country.
As Secretary Of War he has sent 70
the Senate for confirmation the name
of Steven b. Elkins, the man who
figured conspicuously with Brady and
Dorsey in the notorious Star route
jobs. He and his bosom friends and
boon companions, Brady and Dor.
sey had hand in all these contracts
in which the robbery OF the govern.
ment through fraudulent contracts
was the prime object. His name was
freely associated with the infamous
Indian contracts that only brought
reproach upon the department. He
represented the contractors and
through his lobby scheming, the
fraudulent contracts went through
the forty-sixth congress. Even az
small man as President Harrison
will not claim for him the qualities OF
craftsmanship. His distinctive char
teristics rank him rather with the
kind of men who constituted the
Great Whisky ring Of Grants admin
istration; with Babcock, Joyce, and
Mcdonald and Hesing; with Quay
and Rlatt and Clarkson and Blocks
of five Dudley, and with the bribers
and thieves wherever found.
The other disreputable appoint
ment of the President. is w. A. Woods
to be appellate Judge. It is not for.

effort was made to punish w. w.
Dudley, the Treasurer OF the republi-
can national committee for wholesale
bribery in the presidential election oil
1883, that his case came before this
man Woods, who shielded
Dudley, whose crimes were
SO open and base that President Har.
rison did not dare recognize him pub.
licly until his fragrant memory had
partially passed out of mind. 1t will
now be in order for the president to
renew his friendship with Dudley
who bought for him what Zach Chan.

Hayes. With Elkins in charge OF the

ALL life is process of growth and
development. Nothing is made perfect
in the beginning. The possibility OF
growth precludes perfection to start
with. History indicates that humanity
began ut the lowest point. Primitive
man dwelt in caves and dug-outs and
fought the battle of life with wild
beasts near whose level he lived. lie
was without arts or sciences, ignorant
of the world on which he lived, and un-
able to tell the story of his own rude
life. But humanity has been growing,
rs everything else has, from infancy to
manhood. Instead of fallen race man
is rising one. As Thomas X. Beecher
says: ''If man ever had fall it was a
fall upstairs"

The great fault of the young men OF
our day-and it has been the same in
all other days, we presume-is a want
of capacity, or rather of inclination, for
continuous exertion. They are ener-
getic by spurts. When they meet with
unexpected difficulties in one pursuit,
they are too apt to abandon it and try
another. This is impohtic as we'll as
unmanly. The last man to succeed in
anything is the wavercr.
