The Coating of Ironclads.

Nobody is foolish enough to pretend
that we can coat our ironclads external.
ly with sealskin or with porpoiso hide,
and undoubtedly we are at a great dis
advantage as compared with nature and
her living forms. Very possibly the
ultimate solution Of this question may
be found in the application of some new
material altogether to the external coat
ing of our vessels. Compressed paper,
and compressed rance fiber, which arc
now increasingly employed in America
for railway Swheels and steam pipes,
would seem promising materials for
the purpose. They admit of being mold
ed externally into any minute grooves
or tiny overlapping plates. like the
scales of a fish.
Little or no extra expense will there
by be incurred, as an enormous hy-
draulic pressure, capable of forming
any required s~nrface, is already en-
plpyed i'll the regular course of manu-
~facture. Or they can just as easily be
nodded into a rough shagreen, which
In form can be made q facsimile pro-
duction OF the skin Of the shark. And
by their tough and strong ~retentiye
structure they would effectually pro-
tect the steel, or real skin Of the vessel.
from corrosion by the salt water. But
all this is mere conjecture. Any such
suggestions which any man can pro-
pound will be nothing more than con-
lecture, SO long as we are content to re-
main in our present deplorabie dark
ness and ignorance Of TIE real govern
ing conditions Of the problem. What we
most require is therefore light-Con-
temporary Review.

Tartans, Earelegs. richlanders.


The first reference to highland cos
tune occurs il the Saga of Magnus Bare
foot, king of Norway, 1093-l1G3, writ
ten by Snorro Sturleson, who YVES reared
with the children of that monarch's
daughter. Here it is stated that Mag
nus and his men on their return from a
maraSding expedition to the west OF
Scotland brought with them a great
deal of the habits and fashions of cloth
ing OF these western parts. They went
about the streets with bare legs aad had
short kirtles and o~vereloaks, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Bare
foot Or Bareleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like n first reference to
actual tartans III the statutes of the
church of Aberdeen, which provide that
all ecclesiastics are to be suitably ap-
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle of the leg. -
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar, which occurs III the fifteenth
century, in the accounts of the lord high
treasurer of Scotland, and which was re-
garded by both Borthwick and Pinker-
ton as meaning tartan, really indi-
Gates, as pointed out by DR.. Dickson, a
fabric of eastern origin, frequently
variant or shot, the warp and woof
being Of contrasting colors. We find,
however, a true reference to tartan in
the same accounts in the following cen
fury, for in August, 1888, there appears
m entry Tor ''iij. elnis of Heland tar
tame to be hoiss to the Kingis grace, .
these ''hoiss' or trews being evidently
intended to be Worn with ''ane schort
Heland colt. accounted for under the
same te.-Scottish Review.

my last hour | had gospel advantage,
but for sonc reason l did not make the
Christian choice, and | am here waiting
for the Judge to give me a new trial
and another chance" ~''Strange!" says
the other. II had but one gospel call
in Madagascar, alzl I accepted it, and /
do not need another chance"
The Judgment.
"Why are you here?'' says one who
on earth had feeblest intellect to one
who had great brain and silvery tongue
and scepters of influence. The latter re-
spends: "Oh, l knew more than my fell
lows. l mastered libraries and had
learned titles from colleges, and my
name was a synonym for eloquence and
power. And yet l neglected my soul,
and | am here waiting for q new trial. !"
Strange" says the one of the feeble
earthly capacity. 81 knew but little of
worldly knowledge, but l knew Christ
and made him my partner, and have
no need Of another chance"
Now the ground trembles with the
approaching chariot. The great folding
doors of the hall swing open. "Stand
backl' cry the celestial uahers. "Stand
back, and let the judge of qnick and
dead pass through!' He takes the
throne, and looking over tho throng of
nations he says, Come to Judgment,
the last Judgment, the holy j%udgmentl''
By one flash from the throne all the his
tory of each II flames forth to the
vision of himself and all others.
"Dividel' says the judge to the assem-
bly,. DIVIDED echo the walls.
"Divide!' cry the guards angelic.
And now the immortals separate,
rushing this way and that, and after
awhile there is a great aisle between
them, and q great vacuum widening and
widening, and the judge, turning to the
throng on one side, says, 'EIe that is
righteous, let him be righteous still; and
he that is holy, let him be holy still, 7"
and then, turning toward the throng on
the opposite side, he says, '4He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still; and he
that is filthy, let him be filthy still, y
and then, lifting one hand toward
each group, he declares, 'If the tree
fall toward the south or toward the
north, i'll the place where the tree
fallcth there it shall be-" And then
| hear something jar with a great
sound. 1t is the closing of the book Of
Judgment. The judge asconds the stairs
behind the throne. The hall of the last

THE FARMERS, INSTITUTE.

1t was a grand success. Chancel-
Tor Snow, Prof PopenOe and Prof.
Georgeson were here and delivered
addresses which will put money into
the purse of every farmer who heard
them. We had hoped TO be able to
summarize these addresses, but
find our space too limited to do so
The only disappointing thing about
the Institute was the small number of
farmers in attendance, which was
surprising considering the promi-
nence and reputation of the speakers.
The very best farmers in the county
were there, however, and they made
arrangements for holding another in
stitute next year, of which We shall
speak next week.

Johns in which she states that it is
the intention of the committee, of
which she is chairman, to hold an
equal suffrage meeting in lola some
time in May, which will be addressed
by Rev. Anna Shaw and Miss Susan
B. Anthony. This is good news. No
matter what ones views on tho suf-
frage question may be, it will be
treat to hear the speeches of these dis
tinguished women. We have heard
both of them and while their style is
entirely different it would be hard to
say which is the moro effective and
entertaining. They will surely have
a crowded house whenever they may

election as county clerk, the son was
employed as deputy, the work and
the responsibility of the Office practi-
cally falling upon his shoulders. Mr..
Wakefield was married, June 1S,
1892, to Miss Kittie Cozine, of Carlyle,
very happy union which has been
blessed with one child, q son.
In political way Mr.. Wakefield
has been a stalwart, working Repub-
lican from the very day of his ma
jority, always relied upon to use all
his efforts and influence for the sue
cess of the party. And while thus
pronounced in his partisan views, his
personal conduct has been such as to
hold the esteem and confidence of men
of opposite opinions as was abundant
ly shown i'm the election last fall when
he carried his home precinct, usually
opposition by $50 votes, by a majority
of 80.
1t has always been characteristic
of "Jim" w, kefield to do with with
his whole heart what his hands found
to do, and it is only what was expect
ed, therefore, to find that his unre-
mitting and undivided attention is
now being given to the duties of his
office. With his industry, his affa-
bility, his education and his intelli-
gence, he cannot fail to do the county
good service and to win the esteem of
all good citizens.
