pect. He has a very interesting school,
in which are more than the usual per
cent of larger boys and girls. This we
were very glad to see. We are always
pleased to see the larger boys and girls
interested in getting an education. We
know how to sympathize with them, and
we do hope they will not relax their
efforts until they have obtained good
education. 1t is worth striving for, and
efforts put forth in securing it, are any
thing else but lost. The teacher seems
to understand the work, and to enter
heartily into it. The order in the school
room during our visit was very good, in
deed, and We were pleased with the reci.
tations that We witnessed.
We visited, while in Pendleton, the
colored school taught by Rachel E. Rob
inson. She has taught in this County
for years, and has the reputation of being
good teacher. We think she deserves
this reputation. Her work is satisfactory,
so far as we could gather.

Oiled Bearings to Go.

An entirely new industry is about to
be established in Philadelphia, which
promises to be an important factor in all
manufacturing industries. It ItproposeAto
do away with oil as lubricator for ma
chine and other bearings and substitute
a material to be known as fibre. graphite.
a large plant, covering eight acres, will
be erected west of Nicetowu, at the in
tersection of the Port Richmond branch
Of the Reading, and. the Germantown
and Chestnut Hill branch of the Penn
sylyania railroad. The concern will be
known as the Holmes Fibre-Graphite
Manufacturing Company, with a capital
of $40, ,0O0,0 600, divided into 10, 900 shares
of full paid, non assessable stock, at a
par value of $100 each.
A temporary factory is now in opera.
tion at Nicetown, where orders for FIBRE.
graphite bearings are being executed.
An exhibit of these bearings was seen in
operation yesterday at No. 1913 North
Fifth street. They are now also being,
used by the Philadelphia Traction Com.
pany, and are giving every satisfaction.
Fibre graphite is a solid, self-sustain-
ing and self-lubricating substance
adapted to all forms of bearings for re.
saolVing and sliding surfaces of machin-
cry. It is usually moulded into exact
form for use, but may be easily turned,
bored, planed or sawed into special
shapes.
All attempts heretofore made to COM
press graphite, so ss to permit the solidi.
fed material being worked and made into
the form necessary for use as lining for
journal,bssrings or other sliding surfaces,
and SO do away with the use of oil, have
been successful up to the time of Mr..
Holmes invention. He has succeeded
in avoiding the intermixtureo of graphite
with materials which are injurious to its
anti -frictional qualities or detrimental to
the sliding surface with which it comes
in contact.
A curious and valuable property of this
material is developed in the first few
turns Of. new shaft in fibre graphic
bearings. The material imparts to the
shaft an exceedingly thin coating of its
substance, which fills all the interstices
with its own anti-frictiou particles. The
journal itself is, therefore, protected
against wear, and no further perceptible
detoriation occurs either on the journal
or the bearing.
Danger from FIRE originating by and
through hot boxes is done away with.
The interest taken in the invention by
the insurance company's officers attests
its great value in relation to fire risks.
The cost of insurance will be largely. re.
duced in establishments equipped with
fre-graphite bearings Philadelphia Re.

Old Digby Yielded.

Young Toddeby was a true-hearted
and promising youth. He had graduated
with honor at Yale, and was studying
law with Mr.. Lofter.
It so happened that Toddleby became
acquainted with beautiful young lady,
daughter of old Digby. He loved the
fair maiden, and when he had reason to
believe that his love was returned, he
asked Mr.. Loher to recommend him to
the father, Lofter being on terms of close
intimacy with the family. The law
yer agreed and performed lis mission,
but old Digby, who loved money, asked
what property the young man had.
Lofter said he did not know but would
inquire.
The next time be saw the young stu.
dent be asked him if he had any prop
erty.
"Only, health, strength and a determi.
nation 10 work." replied the youth.
"Well," said the lawyer, who sincerely
believed the student was in every way
worthy, "Iet US see. What will you take
for your right leg? I will give you $780,
900 for it Toddleby."
Ofcourse Toddleby refused.
The next time the lawyer saw the
young lady's father he said:
II have inquired about this young
mans circumstances. He has no money
in bank, but he owns piece of property
for which, to my certain knowledge, be
has been offered and has refused $50, 900" /"
This led old Digby to consent to the
marriage which shortly after took place.
In the end he bad reason to be proud OF
his son in.law, though he was once heard
to remark touching that very rare piece
of property, upon the strength of which
he had consented 10 the match:
"If it could not take wings, it WAS liza
BILE at any time to walk Lff!"

EARTHQUAKE PROOF.
Japanese Know How to Buiid-Other
Nations Have Not Yet Learned.


In all countries where earthquakes are
of common occurrence the art of con-
structing buildings in such way as to
resist the effect of the shocks has been
studied, and, as always happens, expert
ence has proved the best teacher. An
extraordinary opportunity to compare
the strength of buildings thus made with
others built after the ordinary European
fashion was furnished by the terrible
earthquake in Japan last October.
Professor John Milne, one of the fore
most authorities on the subject of earth
quakes, has studied the effects of this
great shock, which destroyed over 40 600
houses, and reports that "in many places
so called foreign buildings of brick and
stone, undoubtedly put up in the flimsi-
est manner, lie as heaps of ruin between
Japanese buildings yet standing.
Some of the japanese castles and tenn
Piles escaped though situated within the
district where the shock was most de-
a,ructive. Professor Milne attributes
this in the case of the castles to their
pyramidal form and to the moats that
surround them, and in the case of the
temples to the multiplicity of joints be-
tween the roof aud the supporting col
umns, the effect of which was to pro-
luce "basket-like yielding" when the
temples were shaken by the earthquake,
thus preventing the breaking of the
walls.
In some of our Western States where
tornndoes occur similar problem is pre-
Eented but so far no method of con-
Gtructng house that will enable it to re-
uist the tornado's fury has been invented,
and the only alternative has been to
dig underground chambers near the
houses. into which families can flee for
safety.
Probably a Japanese would consider
one of our tonadoes as thing far more
to be dreaded than the earthquake of his
native country. Companion.

n.r. Dickena, Liffla Jnke,

Charles Dickens bought pictures now
and then, paying for them the sum the
artists asked. But he once bought o
picture for which he persuaded the artist
to charge him high price.
The story, which illustrates botl,
Dickens generosity and his love of fun
is told in the memoir of Richard Red
grave, the artist.
Maclise, intending to paint a subject
for which he wanted lady az model,
asked Miss Hogarth, Dickens sister-in-
law, to sit When the work was finished
the figure was thought very beautiful
and very like the model
A few days afterward gentleman
called on Maclise, and said that an Old
gentleman in the country, wishing to
possess one of the painters pictures, had
deputed him to see what he had on the
easel. The one for which Miss Hogarth
sat was admired by the visitor, who said
he was sure it would please his friend, to
whom he would write and describe it.
In few days letter came to Maclise.
written in feeble old hand. The writer,
in delightfully."- garrulous strain, ex-
pressed his admiration of several picture 8
of Maclise which he had seen, and asked
the price Of the one described by his
friend, as he was sure he would be pleased
with it.
Maclse, delighted with the letter, hur-
ried away to show it to Dickens.
"The letter is almost worth the picture.
and am so pleased with it that shall
name low price" said the artist.
"Oh, by no MEANS" replied Dickens,
"you are wrong! for it is evidently from
some rich old enthusiast who can afford
to pay well.
Maclise argued the point, and talked of
putting handsome frame to the picture
without charge, but was finally persuaded
to name good price for the painting.
In day or two the gentleman who
acted as the agent called again, paid
Maclise his price, asked to have the pict-
ure packed, and said porter would call
Tor it.
At Christmas, two weeks later, Dick
ems invited large party to dinner, Mac
lise among the rest, But alas for the un-
rayeling of the plot. Just as they were
sitting dowa a note came from the painter
pleading illness as an excuse for his alb.
sence. Dickens, for he was the garru-
lous old gentleman-had to unveil the
picture without the pleasure Of seeing
Maclise's look of astonishment.

Inventors are erratic beings as a rule;
they exemplify an old notion that the
line dividing genius from lunacy is by no
means clearly defined. There was
Smith, for instance, grocer who ainassed
4 comfortable fortune by hard work in
his humble calling. Suddenly he con.
ceived the idea that he was great inven,
tor. sold out his business, and has ever
since been evolving the craziest of
schemes. One of these was to roof over
the business districts of large cities and
protect them thus from the inclemency
of the weather. He actually tried to
patent this scheme. Failure does not dis
courage him. When his last dollar is
gone he may realize his folly, but not
until then. Many of these erratic peo
pie are engaged in some business or pro-
fession, aud waste most of the money
they earn in pushing inventions which
are to lead to fortune. All they seem
to care for is their hobby, and every
thing else is sacrificed to it. Woe to
the wife of such man if she had not
the adoring faith of an Emma Micaw-
Der! The pain of hope deferred and the
vicissitudes of domestic life are otherwise
almost beyond her endurance Even
when one of the fraternity is successful
he seldom profits by that success some
other idea must be carried through, and
away goes the money previously gained.
once knew man who had taken out
twenty odd patents, and was still as poor
as the Biblical turkey. His earnings and
the occasional proceeds on some inven-
ton were all swallowed up by new inven-
tions. And one day simple little article
on which he had bestowed hardly a
thought, made him rich 1t was wooden
lemon squeezer, of the same kind of
which there are still hundreds of thous-
ands in the market. On this invention
a capitalist paid him fifty thousand dol
lars down for a half interest and lars"
royalty to boot This royalty he is stll
drawing, but the fifty thousand dollars
has been spent long ago. With it he
built large, roomy building and went
into experimenting and inventng to his
hearts content. Inside of the first year
he had lost twelve thousand dollars on a
bad speculation in incubating eggs, and a
couple of years later the balance of the
money was gone But he is still expert
menting day and night, and hopes to
realize an enormous fortune some day:
meanwhile he is living on the royalty
from that wooden lemon squeezer.
