NICKEL AND IT'S USES

Tno Many Advantages OF an Alloy Of
Nickel and Steel.
For n long time natures hints were
neglected or disregarded, but in 1880
patents were taken out in England and
France by different individuals for the
preparation of nickel steel, sayA the.
Popular Science Monthly.
Tests of this alloy have been made by
competent authorities and the effect of
the addition of small percentages of
nickel to steel is seen in greatly re-
duced tendency to oxidizntion and in
creased strength. AS an example Of the
superiority of this nickel steel the fol-.
lowing results of one of the tests may,
be given: A steel containing four and
scven-tenths per cent. of nickel
showed an ultimate strength of thirty
per cent. and elastic limit of sixty to
seventy per cent. higher than those Of
mild steel, with nearly equal ductility,
and the valuable quality added of less
liability to corrosion." The authority
who obtained these remarkable resr1lts
adds: Think for moment of this in
connection with the erection of the
Forth bridge or of the Eiffel tower. II
the engineers of those stupcndous
structures had had at their disposal a
metal of forty tons strength and twen-
ty-eight tons elastic, limit instead OF
thirty tons strength and seventeen tons
elastic limit in the one case, and say
twenty-five tons strength and fourteen
to sixteen tons elastic limit in tho
other, how many difficulties would have
been reduced in magnitude as the
weight Of materials was reduced! The
Forth bridge would have become even
moro light and airy and the tower
more nctlilEc and graceful than they
are ut present" And Sir Frederick
Abel, in his presidential address ut the
Leeds meeting of tho British associa-
ton, remarked: at has been shown
by Riley that n particular variety OF
nickel steel presents to the. engineer
the means of nearly doubling, boiler
pressures without increasing weight or

Soldiers Views on Pensions.

General Draper of Massachusetts
says: "The difficulty with the pension
business is this: The whole South is
naturally opposed to paying them, be-
cause the disabilities were incurred in
putting down Southern rebellion, with
which the present Southern people have
a sentimental sympathy. AT the North
a new generation has come upon the
stage since the war. 1t knows nothing
practically of the soldiers patriotism or
sacrifices, and only knows the com
munty at large is taxed. 1t is the
fashion among some of these people to
sneer at patriotism, ard to make per-
sonal attacks without foundation upon
the men whose courage ard sacrifices
saved The government. These attacks
upon the pension roll as largely fraudu-
lent, and made up of men who have
never saw the enemy. or fired shot
(Which are so common nowadays), are
unworthy, in the first place, of Amer
lean citizens, and in the second place,
of honest men. st. Paul Press.

pledge to them in substance was that
neither they nor those dependent upon
them should be allowed to suffer from
physical misfortunes and distresses. l

the people as whole that this pledge
shall be faithfully redeemed. No po-

Gen. HancOck's Grave.

A paragraph going the rounds of the
press saying that "the grave of Gen.
w. S. Hancock, at Norristown, Pa, is
without a mark to distinguish it from
the grave of the poorest pauper," is de-
clare to be without foundation by the
Philadelphia Record, which says: "The
honored remains of Gen. Hancock lie
in a granite vault in Montgomery GEM
etery at Norristown, in a lovely spot on
the banks of the Schuylkill. The
vault was built at his own expense to
receive the remains of a beloved daugh
ter who lies beside him. Every year
the grave is decorated with flowers. and
the surroundings are neatly kept" A
bill is now before the Pennsylvania
Legislature appropriating S25, 900 for the
erection of monument to Gen. Han
cock in the Norristown cemetery

to avoid all jerking. The practice of
these exercises makes one sensitive to
the non practice of the principles which
they illustrate, besides having them
selves q restful and curative influence.
They are curative because they open
the system, giving it increased power
to assmilate food and oxygen. Woman
is more prone than man to setting her.
self almost limitless tasks. Nature does
not ask apple-trees to bloom in January;
but women ask thing equally disor-
derby when they require of themselves
nineteen or twenty hours of labor out OF
the twenty-four. A woman is, in way,
doatrous when she says TO herself,
ooh, ! can do this. shall not break
down." etc., when she should say, l
must stop here, or l cannot wisely do
the work of tomorrow" Could we
make ii an unconscious habit to use a
little less power each day than we have
accumulated, we should save days and
nights of accumulated trouble. A life
in which the action and reaction are
balanced is always at lower pressure,
and thus better adjusted for its work
and its rest. Nature can do fine work
with us, then, while we sleep-prepar-
ing us involuntarily to fall in line with
her laws. The tendency of this sort of
living to the minds of women is free
ing. Little things look their true size.
The focus is changed, and in great
trials we find reserve force ready to
help us. We are more in league with
big things. Because we have habit
of mental and physical openness we
can open to the inflow of strength in
proportion to our need.
Listening in this habit of life, keep
ing everything at low pressure, and
gaining quiet rhythm through breathing,
make ones memory a better servant,
and ones appreciation more sincere.
If we listen to the finest sermon or
lecture from an attitude of high pres
sure, every part strained, we feel our
selves ecstatically filled; but when we
leave, we find we have no definite gain,
nothing that we can at once put into
our life, but are instead impo, eiished
and worn. But if we receive helpful
thought as the trees and flowers receive
light, we find ourselves not only re-
freshed, but remembering and putting
into practice something learned. In
listening to music or the drama we are
invigorated, not worn and exhausted.
Great tragedy moves our appreciation
in proportion to its greatness, stirring
our souls to action, but leaving body
and mind free from wear. Our lives
may move in arhythm much larger than
that in which we find ourselves. In
stead of placing obstacles and limita.
tons in cur own path, we should, using
the intelligence of beings who are liv-
ing under great advantages, meet the
i'll conditions of our time from a plane
well guarded against them; the achieve
ments of the day would then become
our servants instead of our mas ters.-

Decoration Day.

Memorial Day awakens a host of
emotions, which seem at first thought
most inconsistent and almost grotesque.
Who would think of laughing and re-
joicing in the midst of graves, nav
mole, of waving banners and filling the
air of !. cemeteries with resounding
cheers and merry laughs on any other
day? Rejoicing and mourning don't
seem to go together. Laughter and
tears seem incongruous compromises,
yet right here to-day the little children
in holiday attire play like lambs among
the tombs. The old men in blue, with
the starry flags and their reverberating
trumpets and drums and rafting mus
kerry and roaring cannon, march right
in and celebrate this Festival to the
Dead. They laugh and weep by turns
as they gather in little knots about
these green shrines of war. The ma
tional colors wave everywhere, the ma
ton is having gala day-strange, mys-
FERROUS mingling of sights and sound
and emotions no one can describe or
reconcile, but all must see and feel. 1t
has done much to destroy the coward
fear of the human heart when the
whole nation gathers annually here and
garnishes the skeleton death itself with
flowers and laughs and sings in his
grinning teeth, as ifsaying: 90 Death,
where is Thy sting? "-Prirdte Dali

Superiority of the American Girl.

While assessing charm aud ability,
greater in beauty than the English girl.
In tact, the Amei lean women are no.
noted for physical charm. Their com
plexions have not the cOuleu, de rose
of o her nations. The piquancy and
abandon of the French woman far sur.
passes that of this favo!i-e of ours.
And in personal ornamentation she is
her rival most decidedly, and with &C
complishments more varied. Where is
that charm of voice that is so excel
lent thing in woman?" We possess
it not. The soft cadences, the mellow
ness of tones, are not ours. What at
tribute so clever does this creature
possess that wins all hearts? What
charm does she vie d that entrances all
beholders? Perhaps it il the liberty that
is accorded her, the freedom from re-
straint, the independence of thought,
that gives her this manner so bewitch
ing, graciousness so persuasive, a
personality so captivating. Here is a
young girl who maintains herself with
credit and respect under all adverse
circumstances; who defends her per-
son with the shield of dignity; who
pres serves the armor of virtue by her
pure and gentle nature; whose life lies
in her own hand by purpose of will, by
strength of character, by decision of
judgment. All these qualities are hers.
And something more which makes her
of our land the ruler! We cannot define
it. But we know that across the ocean,
in Eastern lands, on every shore where
this charm of her presence is felt, this
indefnable gift of her character is hon.
ored and appreciated, the question is,
who is she? Why, the American grill

Aunt Terminals Quilt.

A miracle of cleaning dyes,
Blue scarlet, buff and green;
o ne'er before by mortal eyes
Such gorgeous hues were scent
SO grandly was its plan designed,
So cunningly twas built,
The whole proclaimed master mind
My Aunt Terminals quilt.
Each friendly household far and wide
Contributed its share;
1t chronicled the country side
In colors quaint and rare.
From bellies and brides came rich brocade
Enwrought with threads of gilt;
Fen buxom widows lent their aid
To Aunt Terminals quilt.
No tapestry from days of yore,
No web from Orient loom,
But paled in beauteous tints before
This strange expanse of bloom.
Here glittering stars and comets shone
Der flowers that never wilt;
Here fluttered birds from world unknown,
On Aunt Jemima's quilt.
o. merry was the quilting.bee,
When this great quilt was done
The rafters rang with maiden glee,
And hearts were lost and won.
Ne'er did throng of drawer men
In war clash hilt to hit,
Than sought the smiles of beauty then
Round Aunt Jemimas quilt.
This work of art my aunt esteemed
The glory of the age;
No poets eyes have ever beamed
More proudly DER his page.
We're other quilt to this compared,
Her nose would upward tilt;
Such impudence was seldom dared
Der Aunt Jemima's quilt.
Her dear old hands have gone to dust,
That once were 1.-the and light;
Her needles keen are thick with rust,
That flashed so nimbly bright.
And here it lies by her behest,
Stained with the tears we split,
Safe folded in this cedar chest
My Aunt Jemma's quilt.
