the important function of sergeant-at-
arms of the democratic national con-
vention, is a st. Louis lawyer who is
widely known in Missouri He was
born in st. Louis in 1S4S, and early in
life was of material assistance to his
parents, who were in straitened circum-
stances. He was driver of levee
dray when he went into politics, and

ture. At that time he was the young
est man ever elected to the Missouri

ulster of the most beautiful poems.
The Lily's lips are pure and white
without touch of fire.
The roses heart is warm and red and
sweetened with desire;
In earths broad field Of deathless
bloom, the gladdest lives are
those
Whose thoughts are as the lily, and
whose love is like the rose"
The law of compensation is most
beautifully illustrated, in the follow
ng fragment:
The gifts that to our breasts we fold
Are frightened by our losses.
The sweetest joys heart can hold
Grow up between it's crosses,
And on life's pathway many a mile
Is made more glad and CHEEKY
Because for just little while
The way seemed dark and dreary."
There is a peculiar characteristic of
Mr.. Waterman which for want of
better term we might call sunniness,
that would disarm the most aggress-
i've of mortals, AS one might judge
from his writings he Is one Of the most
appreciative Of friends end a genial
companion.
VIM. Rosser Cobbe says Of the poet
editor: "His is nature that rolls away
the clouds and pours in a stream OF
sunshine upon all with whom he comes
in contract. Life is pleasant and glad
to him, and the joy of his wisdom is
that it would make everyone else hap
py."
Mr.. Waterman is still a young man,
and if the coming years fulfil their
promise, for with such a nature life
grows broader as it grows older, what
may we not expect?
But whatever the future may bring
the world is richer and better for what
he has already written, the sweet songs
that will live in the loving memory Of
the people.
His poems have lately been printed
in book form.

Use of Coal Powder.

-ere is a new process for utilizing
coal powder 1t is ground so as to pass
through a sixty-mesh screen. BY a
series of proper conductors, the coal is
run into a receiver which Is attached
TO the front of a furnace constructed for
the burning of this form Of fuel. The
following account Of experiments with
coal powder will be found interesting:
A test was recently made in Berlin Of
a Cornish boiler, fired first by hand and
again by the same coal in a powdered
condition. The results show that the
dry powdered coal evaporated from
and at 2120 9.12 pounds of water per
pound of dry coal, as against 6.4S
pounds for solid coal, fed by hand
stocking. 1t was claimed that the poor
condition Of the CRATE is responsible for
the very low results in the latter case.
The trial, however, shows good
economy for the Wedener system. The
grinding costs about 10 per cent of the
value Of the coal.

so that the inside of the ball of the
foot touches a mark made on the floor
Then these pretty maids and matrons
all ''toeing the mark" sway their
bodies back and forth without moving
the feet or losing balance.
This is a much more difficult feat
than one might imagine, the human
body having been so long accustomed
to topping through life that the power
of balancing is utterly lost.
The pointing" exercise follows: This
strengthens the instep and develops the
hip action. The maiden is taught to
draw circles with the points of her toes
and to kick-this to develop the mus
cular power.
Training the muscles of the back and
waist comes next on the programme.
Neither is this an easy movement, for
having depended wholly upon the cor
set, an unframed waist has little
strength Of it's own. 1t collapses the
moment you try to put any strain up
on it.
The first movement is much like a
fencing exercise. One stands with one
foot advanced in an attitude of attack.
The backward sway, when first intro
duced, is greeted with numerous "ohs, ="
and abs and Il really can't do that"
1t is quite simple however, like many
other things when once you know now;
as all these damsels nod and sway and
bow it makes one quite dizzy to gaze
upon them. But the exercise is the
best in the world for giving supple

The last exercise in acquiring poise-
we have not yet come to the walking
lessons proper-is most difficult to
learn. When a woman achieves it and
is able to stoop suddenly and sweep
the floor with one hand, while the
other is waved triumphantly aloft she
need have no further fears of being
stiff-waisted or wooden-shouldered
Having mastered these gymnastic ex-
ercises and attained the perfect poise,
the pupil advances step higher and
commences to learn to walk.

Then there are linen batistes woven
