An Amiable College President.

The late Rev. DIR. Hill, the honored
ex-president of Harvard, was once on a
crowded train with Il number of emigrants
and spent his time in making paper dolls
for the cross, tired children of poor
emigrant woman, who was overcome
with poverty, trouble and the perplex-
tiles of travel. "The Fairfield (Me.) J
Journal tells another story, illustrative
of his amiability. Soon after he came
to Portland canker worms began to annoy
the beautiful trees in State-st. very
much and it was feared that they would
be destroyed. DIR. Hill was equal to the
emergency, and with all his knowledge
or bugs and worms did not propose to
have the handsome trees in front of his
residence destroyed by insignificant can
ker wcrms. Accordingly he made prep
aration largely composed of printers
ink and girdled his trees. While thus
employed in raiment suitable for the
work lady sailed down the street and
asked him about the remedy. She ex-
planned that the trees about her residence
were injured by the worms and asked
him if she could not engage him to treat
them. He said he would if he could get
time. She asked him his name and he
said Gill;" and after exacting from him
promise to come up and examine the
trees, she went home and proudly told
her husband what she had done. He re-
cognized the divine by her description
and was appalled-but DIR. "Hill' kept
his promise, in spite of the mortified
lady's protestation; and the trees are
alive and thrifty to-day.-[New York

Cooperate for Water.

To have running water at house and
barn, on tap at all times for all purposes,
is worth 500 n year to many farmers.
Often by surveying the natural advanta-
ges of the ground some system can be
devised to accommodate group of
farmers. The homes of farmers are
often in close proximity, and on about
the same level. Such can be Served by
one plant of waterworks. The expense
for each farm is thus materially light
ened. In some places deep well and a
windmill to fill some adequate tank or
reservoir will be the best plan. In other
places living stream can be utilized by
damming it above the point of delivery
and laying pipe. To expend 81 900 for
water looks formidable to most farm
ers; for five to bear the cost is much
easier. Even $400 put into good per-
manent water supply would be a cheap
investment for most farms. When one
considers the amount of money spent on
every farm for original outlay and wear
and tear in the way of ordinary wells, cis-
terms, pumps, buckets, ETC., and also the
time spent and the inconvenience of
pumping and carrying water daily in all
weathers, it is wonder that more pipe is
not laid and more water laid under daily
tribute on farms. The cooperative plan
wonld probably solve the difficulty for a
great many farmers.-[ New York Trib.

Learning a Trade.

If had my way writes Foster Coates,
l would insist that every boy should learn
q trade. 1t was so in the olden times,
and it should be so now. The man who
has trade is thousand times better
equipped than the man who has none
Let every boy select trade that best
suits his ability, and promises the high
est honors and remuneration. When he
has mastered his trade, if lie dislikes it,
or it is not profitable, he cun begin to
study a profession, or enter upon u COM
mercial life. If he should fail in both
of these, he is still master of good trade
something that no one can take from him,
no matter what exigencies may arise.
The man who is master of good trade,
is as independent as millionaire. He
need never want; he can find profitable
work in any corner of the world. | do
not say one word against u professional
career. But | do say emphatically that
the man who has trade and profession
as well, need have no fear of the future.
The boy who wants to can master trade
between the years of 16 and 20, and il
he dislikes it, he still has time to study
medicine, the law, or any other of the
learned professions. But if he waits
until he is 20, or over, he may not have
an opportunity or feel inclined to learn

Metals Get Tired.

The question as TO the fatigue of
metals under long continued stress has
recently been tested, and, it is believed,
satisfactorily settled, in the treatment of
two similar suspension bridge links, and
the results obtained. A square iron link,
twelve inches wide, one inch thick and
about twelve feet long, was taken from u
bridge at Kieff, Russia, then about forty
years DID, and tested against a similar
link which had lain unused in store ever
since the building of the bridge. Under
these circumstances, the means of
comparison were considered in the
highest degree favorable, and the
result necessarily of reliable
character in determining whether
or not iron actually loses, and to
what extent, any of its strength in pro-
longed service. The effect of the test
showed for the old used link an ultimate
tensile strength of 2l.S tons per square
inch, an elastic limit of Iii tons per
square inch, an elongation of 14.5 per
cent and contraction of 17.35 per cent
at the point of fracture. In the case of
the unused link, the tensile strength was
found to be 22.2 tons per square inch,
with an elastic limit of 1.9 tons, and an
elongation and contraction at fracture of
1o.42 per cent. and 1915 per cent. res
pectively. From this it appears, there
fore, that the pieces of iron were of
practically identical strength-the small
difference actually observed being well
within the ordinary range of variability
of similar pieces of such metal.-lNew

A Statue to "Little Mac.y

The statue in bronze of General
be unveiled in Philadelphia on Septem-
Der II next the thirtieth anniversary of
the battle of Antietam, is thus described:
"ln conception the statue is striking and
heroic, resembling closely that of Gen
eral Thomas. The steed, modelled after
the spirited animal ridden by Little
Mac at Antietam, is pausing upon the
crest of a gentle hillock. With head
and ears erect, eyes and nostrils dilated,
it stands trembling, and strains every
muscle as if shifting the battle from afar.
Upon the charger sits the stern soldier,
the height of contrast to the fiery impa-
tience of his steed, the dingy little army
cap drawn down over his eyes, the i'm
mobile profile turned slightly over the
left shoulder, and the calm, firm features
buried in that deep thoughtfulncss, that
impression of latent power and magne-
tism, which won for him the devotion of
all officers, and made him the great Or
ganizer of the shattered armies of the
Union. The top of the granite pedestal,
from which the steed arises, is II feet
above the ground. Its base is IA feet
long and feet wide, the lower half of
massive granite, the upper carved with
wreaths and martial devices. The front
will be inscribed simply, General
George B. Nc Clellan, in large letters.
Below will be heavy shield of bronze,
resting upon two sheaves of wheat.
About the four corners will hang in
mourning effect large cords of bronze
flowers. A wreath of laurel in bronze
upon the rear end encloses the design of
an ancient triumphal arch, surmounted
by three embattled turrcts. Elaborate
bronze bas-reliefs, 6x24 feet, will adorn
either side"

Windows Kept Clean of Frost.

The best and only way to keep the
store windows clear of frost is to cut a
space through the window frame at the
bottom and another at the top of the
windows that front on the street. Then
close up the back of the window from
the store proper. In this way you keep
a current of cold air circulating inside
Of the show window, making the interior
of your display window the same Tempe
rature as the street all the time. The
cold air constantly passes in and out,
keeping the glass just as cold inside as
it is on the outside. e.-Detroit Free Press.

WHAT NOT TO LOSE.

Don't lose courage; spirit brave
Carry with you to the grave.
Don't lose time in vain distress;
Work, not worry, brings success.
Don't lose hope; who let's her stray
Goes forlornly all the way.
Don't lose patience, come what will,
Patience ofttimes outruns skill.
Don't lose gladness; every hour
Blooms for you some happy flower.
Though be foiled your dearest plan
Don't lose faith in God and man.

Child Burned to Death.

Last Sunday afternoon two little child
rem of Mr.. Joseph Williamson, who lives
on the road between Prallsville and Rose
mont, went into the barn and began play
ing with some matches, which they had
obtained unknown 10 iheir parents. The
little girl, aged about two years, acciden-
tally set her clothing on fire and then
crawled out of an opening in the barn.
Her brother, aged about 4 years, got her
into little play wagon and hauled her to
the house. When they arrived at the
house and the mother was called, nothing
remained of her clothing but small circle
around the neck. She died In about two
hours. She did not appear to suffer any.
1t is supposed that she inhaled the flames
aud was also burned inwardly. The little
boy was not burned, and strange to say,
the barn was net set on fire. Mr.. and
Mrs. Williamson have the deep sympathy
of the community in this sudden aud sad
bereavement.
