Henry Irving on individuality.

Don't you try to be Q Daniel Webster.
You be yourself" said Irving, the actor,
In his address to the students Of Har-
ward. Cultivate your WI power" It
was a noble address and pointed out be-
fore all the road by which Irving him
self had travelled to fame and fortune.
The world is full Of failures today be-
cause men and women have been over
slaughed by Mrs. Grundy, by parents or
husbands or wives or associates Of strong
or will than themselves.
If there is a person for whom we have
great respect, and we reveal to that in
dividual our most cherished plans and
hopes for our future, and he whistles
them down the wind, saying we are fool
ish and impractical and cannot do what
we desire, we shrink back into ourselves
abashed. So have fallen some of the best
and truest aspirations a human being
ever cherished. Then, after years Of fail
ure in trying to do what we are not
fitted for, after q lifetime of endeavoring
to make ourselves over on the other per-
sons pattern, we recognize the fatal mis-
take we made. If We had taken our own
heads for it, had gone on boldly and
steadily and wrought out our own aspi-
rations as they were implanted in us, we
would have been grandly successful in
stead of turning out crippled, stunted,
dwarfed, dissatisfied beings.
1t was to urge them by all means to
develop their own individuality, not to
trim themselves to another's model,
however great, that Irving addressed
the Harvard students. They were to de-
velop their own original powers in all
ways and learn to know themselves.
Then it would naturally follow that they
would learn to know others. "For the
purely monkey arts Of life there is no
future" said Mr.. Irving. He continued:
There is usually If not always a general as
well as q special truth or excellence in every
which sprang from the power and genius of
Daniel Webster or Patrick Henry or Abra-
ham Lincoln is to be won by others in greater
or less degree by similar means. But 1t must
be always borne in mind that merely to initiate
is not to apply a similar method. If any one OF
you have great thoughts or burning passion,
you will need to copy no style or to limit your
self to no method. Your thoughts will find
their way to the hearts Of others as surely as
the upland waters burst their way to the sea.
In fine, The greatest of all the lessons that art
can teach is this-that truth is supreme and
eternal. No phase of art can achieve much on
a false basis. Sincerity, which is the very
touchstone of art, is instinctively recognized
by all. There never were truer and wiser words
spoken than those of old Polonius:
ITO thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
But how can IA man be true to himself if he does
not know himself? KNOW myself" was q wis
dom of the ancients. But how can n man know
himself II he mistrusts his own identity and II
he puts aside his special gifts in order TO rem
der himself an imperfect similitude of som
one else?

The TRIBUNE does not expect, nor
does it believe hat any acts of violence
to person or property will be done at
Great Falls. The strikers here are men
of intelligence, our fellow citizens, and
many of them own property within the
city. OF course it is to their own inter
est to see good order prevail.

Over 10000 men will be involved in
the great coal mines strike in Pennsyl-
vania and other coal sections of the east.
The miners demand an increase in their
wages which the operators declare that
it is impossible to comply with. The re-
suit is that thousands Of men are out of
employment. This suspension Of mining
operations mems great suffering among
the miners. 1t is to be hoped that wise
counsels will prevail and no acts Of vic.
lence to persons or property will be COM
mitted.

A slight rift of peace in the stormy
clouds OF the strike was observed in the
dispatches received Thursday. They
announce a proposed conference to be
held this week between the striking en-
ployes and the railroad authorities. 1t
is devoutly hoped by the citizens Of
Great Falls that the meeting will lave a
successful consumation.

As yet, the effects OF the strike outside
the detention Of the mails, has not
been very severely felt by Great Falls
outside of a slight dulness in the retail
trade. If the date of settlement Is in
creased to a further period, undoubtedly
in the same ratio would the effects be
more severely felt.

The Railway strike.

The gravity of the situation at the

admit. Our advice is keep cool, calm
and collected, say or do nothing which
may have a tendency to excite revenge

The city is remarkably quiet, no dis
turbance of any description, and the

Since the beginning Of the strike, eight

Railway union has been a subject Of gen.
eral praise and comment by the citizens
of Great Falls and is a grand and noble
example to the country at large.

rha main faatnra of a rapistratiol

- The main feature of a registration
bill drawn by Speaker Fleming, and in
troduced in the Georgia lower house, pro-
yides that the managers Of each party in
a district or precinct shall be furnished
with list of the voters in that precinct
only, and that every man must vote in
his own precinct instead of anywhere in
the county, as is the general custom in
the State. By this new method no pre-
cinct could possibly poll more votes than
are registered in it, and the acquaintance
of the managers with the voters in their
respective precincts would prevent other
fraud.
Good luck does not often fall as
appositely as it did tho other day to
poor old Polish woman, who has long
been working as a rag sorter at the paper
mill at Plover, Wis. Among the rags
she found tatterod vest. She put her
hands into the pocket, and, to her great
surprise, drew out a roll of bills, amount
ing to $500. The proprietor of the mill
told her he had no claim on the money
and she will buy small farm with ii,
from which she can make q much botter
living for herself and children than she
now gets.
A great many members ofa congro-

cause of his political faith. In South
Iredell, N. c., prominent Populist
member OF a church told the pastor pub
licly that his salary would certainly be
in arrears if he voted or worked for the
Democratic ticket.

Exile of Themlstocles.

Themistocles, the hero of Salamis,
was sent into banishment by the
practice Of ostrac!sm. This was a
purely Athenian device to prevent
any citizen becoming too great.
When any man acquired such prom
inence as to be unsafe to the state
q number OF citizens demanded o
vote, which was taken by writing
on shells the name OF the too prom
inent citizen. If o majority voted
against him he was sent into exile,
not because he had done anything,
but for fear he might do something.
He stayed away from five to ten
years, then returned and resumed
his standing as citizen without
loss Of property or reputation.
Themitoclcs was ostraclscd and
went into exile, where he was soon
accused OF treascnablo correspond
ence with the Persians. He was
about to be arrested, but fed to Per
sia. He gained great influence at
the Persian court and projected on
invasion OF Greece, but died, it is
supposed, by poison, before his plans
could be rcalized.-St. Louis Globe

Graveyard Soil.

While cremation of the dead is un-
doubtedly growing in favor it appears
that the dangers attending the ordina-
'ry burial practice may have been exag-
gerated. This is indicated by a chem
ical and meteorological examination OF
samples Of virgin soils, pure agricul-
tural soils and graveyard soils that has
lately been made by Scotch investi-
gator, DR.. james Buchanan Young.
The proportion Of organic matter, as
Judged by the organic carbon and MI
trogen present in the samples, was
found to be not materially greater In
soil that has been used for burial than
in good pure agricultural soil. No
pathogenic organisms were discovered
In the graveyard soil, and the number
Of bacteria present, though greater
than in virgin soil, was much smaller
than one might expect. The ground
water layer Of soil below the coftins
was practically free from bacteria.
The results. in fact, tend to support the
idea that properly conducted burial in
suitable and well-drained soils can
cause no risk to public health.

GANDER AND EAGLE.
The Latter Finally Me- His Match In

the Former.
There are few better fighters than
o goose, or o gander more particu-
larly. Those ragged white Russian
geese bite like bulldogs. 1t is no
mere peck with them; they bite and
hang on. The common old farmyard
gandcr is capital fighter when he
is driven to it. At o certain place
in Scotland there used to be o Gagged
golden eagle. He preferred to kill
his own dinner, and it used to be o
cruel sport to watch him dispose of
any unfortunate hen or guinea fowl
that was put into his cage.
They tried him, I believe, with ev-
cry sort of domestic poultry. Ducks,
peafowl, turkeys = the eagle was
master of them oil. He had no
trouble in finishing them off, no
trouble even with tho "bubbly-iock. !"
But at length they 5ried him with o
gander; but be could make nothing
Of it. The gandcr crouched into a
corner, drew back his head, and pre-
sented nothing but q broad, spade
like bill from whichever quarter the
eagle tried to attack him.
The eagle fumed end frettcd, and
grew very angry; he made desperate
attempts to take the gander in the
flank, but the wise old bird defeated
them oil. In the end they had to
give the gander bis liberty, as the
reward of his courage, and to satisfy
the eagle with the much more succu-
lent dainty of o young turkey poult.

A BOMBAY WOMAN LAWYER.
Progress Of Native Indian Woman
in Her Profession.

The Parsee woman lawyer, Miss
Cornelia Sorabji, who passed the B.
G. L. examination with such distinc-
tion at Oxford in 1892, says the Lon
don Gentleman, has now established
herself at Bombay, where she is
working with q firm of solicitors.
She gave q lecture this season on the
illegal Status Of Women in India.
1t is o noticeable fact, in the now
rapidly advancing position of Indian
women, that on this occasion she
was supported on the platform by
leading members of the legal pro-
fession, both English and Indian.
Miss Sorabji showed how effect
ually women lawyers could help In
dian ladies, who, owing to hereditary
customs, social and religious, arc
precluded from seeing men, and
arranging business matters with
them. The lecturer said she did not
want the gentle Hindu widow to
lead the vanguard of advanced wom-
anhood, but it might be possible to
do, or to prevent, the fighting for
her. And in doing this, there need
be no encroaching on the domain
of the stronger sex. "We do not
want to supplant men," she said;
"there is enough for US to do to sup
plement them"
Miss Sorabii said that never, dur
Ing the whole period Of an Indian
woman's existence, neither when
under the tutelage of her parents nor
the guardianship of her husband,
was she trained to face life alone;
and that in the management Of her
property, over her contracts, wills,
ETC., itwas absolutely necessary that
competent legal advice should be
available. AS an immediate out
come Miss Sorabji had the conduct
of q case put into her hands by an
Indian Rance.

wbv steam Casts a Shadow.

'The water'in the water gauge Of my
locomotive casts DO shadow, while the
steam in the upper part of the gauge
does. Why is this?" ''Purc water in
state of rest is of uniform density, and
the rays of light, although they may
be refracted, pass through 1t almost
unimpeded in parallel lines. On the
other hand steam is composed Of vapor
Of varying degrees OF density nnd al-
ways intermingled with moro or less
air. In the steam gauge these are con-
stantly in state of agitation, SO that
when the rays of light enter it they are
not uniformly refracted. This being
tho case they interfere with md neu-
tralize each other, the result, as far as
the shadow is concerned, being as if
the steam and the intermingling had
really combined so as to form On
opaque body"

Last winter he was married and went
to housekeeping outside the town.
This spring he thought he would add a
few hens to his stock he already had
dog. He set couple of hens and in
due time had two large broods of
chickens. He was very proud of them,
but in week or two the hens began
to die. He called in ncighbor to
look at the chickens and offer advice.
They were certainly pretty scaly lot
of chickens that the ncighbor viewed.
They were skinny-looking and appa-
rently without ambition.
"What do you feed them?" asked
the ncighbor, after brief survey.
"Fccd thcm?" responded the pro-
fcssor, as though he didn't hear Alright.
"Why, | don't feed them anything. |

for them.

MAKING PINS.
How the Little Useful Articles
Are Made by Machinery.
The Operation In Quite Different from
What It Was In tho Sixteenth Century
-Complicated Machines That Turn
Ont Two Hundred Minute.

When pins were first invented,
some time during the third decade
of the sixteenth century, 1t took one
man whole day to make two dozen,
the market price Of the days output
being but three shillings. Even as
late in the present century as 1888
one pin went through the hands of
twelve persons before it was finished
and folded away in the little sheet of
paper of the regulation green. To-
day, however, everything is differ
ent In the pin factory, q single ma
chine turning out o stream Of the
little, neatly-polished, sharp-pointed
implements at the rate of two hun
dred per minute, day and night.
This wonderful little pin-making
automaton is not larger than a
sewing machine, but it has more in
visible knives, springs, sharpeners
and pinchers about it than a steam
thrasher. The wire from which the
pins are made is coiled around
small drum attached to the rear end
of the machine, different sizes of
wire and pinchers being used
for the several varieties OF pins.
The wire passes from the drum
into the machine through q
small hole pro"ided for that pur-
pose, being kept straight and taut
by o brake on the drum and series
of iron pegs across the platform of
the machine. A queer little pair of
pinchers - "catchers" - seizes the
wire and thrusts it through hole,
where it is held while a small ham,
mer beats head on the forward end
of the wire.
\ Here it is held until knife de-
scends and cuts the wire in proper
pin length. Next it is allowed to
drop into o groove through which
the heads cannot pass, and while
being held in that position is ex-
posed to the action of q set Of small
files, which almost nstantly give it
q smooth, sharp point. The pin is
now finished and ready for the pol
ishing tub, which is simply revol-
ing barrel in which the pins are
cleaned and polished by their own
friction. After going through the
polishing tub they are boiled in So
luton of acid and tin. This latter
operation gives them their shining
appearance. After going through
the acid bath they are accounted as
being finished and ready for the mar
ket.-Mechanic.
