Senator Tillman. of South Car
ollna rests his record rs a reformer
IN his State on tho establishment
of two splendid colleges, ono for
women at Rock Hill, and the 9TH
or at Fort Hill, tho latter being
appropriately enough the home of
his one-time predecessor in the
Senate, John G. Calhoun.
Mr.. Tillman, who has boon as
signed to tho Naval COMMITTEE, has
now in hand Il bill, tho object OF
which is in general terms to sup
ploment tho work dono at tho Ma
val Academy, by proper instruc-
ton at the agricultural and mo
chanical colleges of the United
States. One of tho best of these
is tho Clemson College of South
Carolina.
This bill it is understood,
will receive tho support Of many
of tho Senators, and especially Of
Senator Squire, of Oregon.
Within the next fow weoks a
number Of wooden war vessels on
Atlantic coast will bo disposed Of
in some way, and it has boon sug-
gostcd that nthcir machinery be
utilized at some of tho leading
scientific colleges. Of the vessels
that must go are tho FRANKLIN and
the Wabash, which might be sont
for illustrative purposes to Vir.
ginia and Massachusetts college
The scope of tho bill is some
what larger than this. In addition
to encouraging tho students, IN
crosasing tho efficiency Of tho M
val Academy by bringing tho in
stitution into friendly rivalry will

viding naval engineering resorv'

Burma is country dominated by an
idea, or rather set of ideas, which owe
their origin to the influence of Buddhism
The Burman holds the view that this life
is a sorry thing at the best and that the
wisest course Is, therefore, to get through
1t with as little care worry and anxiety as
possible. The world is nevertheless at the
same time full of good things, which all
can enjoy. Therefore why toll for wealth,
which brings only burden of care in its
train? Why strain every nerve when posses
sion means the anxiety to hold and pre-
serve? The bounteous earth supplies rice
for the needs of all her children, and while
there are love and laughter and gayety to
solace us, while leisure can be secured and
peace maintained, let us enjoy and be
happy. Here we strike the keynote of the
life of the Burmans. Strangers call them
lazy, but they are not idle except on prin-
ciple. They can work splendidly when
they choose but they have long ago de-
cided that to turn the world into work
shop, to toll incessantly for mere sub
sistence, or in order to gather up riches is
folly, as doing SO destroys the pleasure of
existence. As soon as farmer has made
little money by selling his crop he gives
play, or pwee, to his town or village

Conocit,

Simple conoeit, founded on really great
gifts, Is often very pleasant quality. No
more amiable quality than the conceit,
say, of Hans Christian Andersen, can
easily be imagined, though it caused him
hundred bitter trials in his earlier life
before his great gifts were understood and
acknowledged by the world. So, too, Gold
smiths conceit was very attaching quail
ity, and in our own day we could name
great poet full of the most amiable and
attractive conceit, in which there was not
anything irritating OR even indicative OF
jealous modification. The truth is that
sunny oonceit founded on great gifts, Is
often delightful, while the oonceit which
broods on the worlds injustice in not rec
ognizing to the full these great gifts is
corroding and repelling.
The happy conceit which takes all the
recognition 1t can get with gratitude, and
supplements it with sincere pity for those
who have no sufficient insight to recognize
the gifts that have been displayed, is as
charming and radiant a quality as we can
find anywhere, while the jealous conceit
which is always suspicious of the made
quacy Of the worlds admiration is one OF
the most unpleasant and displeasing of
characteristics. In other words, the con-
ceit which is perfectly joyous, but, of
course founded in true gifts, attracts,
while the less perfect oonceit, which has a
little distrust on one side or other, of the
solidity of it's own genius, Is displeasing,
because not serene. The former is as cheer
ing as sunshine, the latter as displeasing
as restlessness. Spectator.

A Display of Temper.

The late Lord Cardigan of Balaklava
fame was probably the most cyolonic tenn
pered man Of his time. He was shooting
pheasants at Dene with, among Others
the late Sir Henry Hoare, who told the
story. While moving in toward the corner
from which the birds were to be driven
across the valley, the pheasants were get
ting up by hundreds and flying back.
"There must be fox,' said his lordship,
but on reaching the corner the true cause
was disclosed; very aged and feeble yo-
kel was sitting on stile in full view in
the very corner of the cover. My lord
promptly cleared for action, threw down
his guns, discharged his head keeper and
his leaders, and then until words failed
him he bruised the wind with splendid
selection of most noble oaths. The poor
yokel, who thought his last hour at hand,
did exactly what the situation required.
He said, "My lord, am your lordship's
hereditary mole catcher" Clutching at
any straw to bring him out of position
now clearly ridiculous, Lord Cardigan
said, "Oh, if you are the hereditary mole
catcher. then you are exonerated-' He ac-
cordingly re-engaged his keeper, recovered
his guns, and said to his guest "Henry,
I am, without doubt, id fool. -

The First Calliope.

On the 4th of July, 1856, the first CALI
ope, or 'steam organ" made its debut at
Worcester, Mass. 1t was invented by a
maohinist of that city named Joshua G..
Stoddard, who is said to have toiled most
of the time night and day for over year
in reducing the harsh screech of escaping
steam through the bell whistles SO that
they finally became trained musical notes.
The foundation Of the machine was laid
and all the details, from inception to COM
pletion, were carried out in the machine
shops of Wood g. Light, the proprietors
aiding the young inventor in every possible
manner. When the Worcester papers an
nounced that 'Stoddard's gigantic music
al novelty had been completed, every
body in Massachusetts, 1t appeared, was
anxious to get look at the machine and
hear it blow hurricane of music.
At last the city authorities took the
matter in hand and hired the curious con-
triyance for use on Independence day.
The great musical machine was accord
ingly loaded on special train and taken
to Providence. The operator did himself
and the oalliope great credit during the
journey, keeping up constant roar of
music from the beginning to the end of
the trip, thus giving those along the route
a chance to hear If not to see the new
wonder.
N. P. Willis, the poet, writing of it to
his paper, The Home Journal, said: 81

The cold drawn process is now largely
resorted to in the production of steel tub
ing and is a great factor In the construc-
tion of the bicycle and involves machinery
both ponderous and powerful. One of the
methods employed consists in takin a
piece of steel in the shape of bar, or in
got. This is bored through the center,
and it is then passed through die, after
which it is heated and treated to bath in
secret preparation, which removes the
temper that the drawing process imparts.
This is repeated number Of times, each
die used being smaller than it's predecessor,
with the result that the tube grows small
er and longer. This is continued until
the tube is of the right diameter and
gauge. The drawing out of piece of
steel in this manner, without heating, is
regarded as notable example of the per-
fection of modern machinery. York

THE CONVENIENCE OF ECONOMY.
Much Fretting and No Little Time Saved
by Thriftiness.

py xhrnt1neB9s
Poverty ia no disgrace, but it is very
inconvenient, runs the New England
proverb, and the inconvenience Of not hav-
ing little necessaries at hand Is constant
source of worry to the average housekeeper
No amount Of money will keep kitchen
or boudoir supplied with what is needed
unless thoughtfulness be constantly exer-
oised ,aand this thoughtfulness, joined to
thriftiness, is one of the best lubricators
of household wheels.
For instance, for some reason known
only to the mysterious which decree the
rules of trade, jugs are always sold with
out corks, and grocers consider a wad of
newspaper, or, at best straw paper, an ex-
cellent substitute, especially for molasses
Now, in every kitchen corks are tolerably
plentiful, when not wanted, and If they
are washed and saved, not by being thrown
into drawer along with soap and candles,
but in covered box, they would be acces-
sible. few might be used for keeping
empty BOTTLES free from dust
brown paper and paper bags are too fire.
quently thrown into the fire or ash barrel,
whereas II they We're carefully folded and
in odd moments cut into dish papers, GRO
Quettes and similar dishes would not be
SO often sent to table without being prop
erly drained. The clean bags should be
saved Tor sending out of the house, for GER
tain articles can be packed in them much
more easily than in loose paper.
Large envelopes, such as are used for
valentines and Christmas cards, are not
easy to procure, yet they are, as a rule
cast aside, even when unsoiled, and the
lack OF them at certain times is a source
of much Inconvenience. A hint for those
who cannot get just what they want is to
cut two envelopes in half and slip one over
the other, pasting them securely, and at a
point to make the combination the re-
quired size.
Cardboard such as comes on the back of
memorandum pads, and, as a rule, Is
thrown into the waste paper basket, Is an
other article difficult to get just when it is
wanted, yet 1T does not take up much room
in ones desk, nor do rubber bands, pro-
yided they are slipped into a little box
such as the druggists use for powders or
the jewellers for small purchases.
Mothers do not need to be told to save
buttons of all kinds, but possibly some of
them may not think to cut up old trousers
and jackets that are too ragged to give
away, and yet out of which good sized
squares of cloth may be saved for mend
ing. Such garments should not be kept
whole for they serve only as breeding
places for moths, but a lump Of camphor
will preserve them when in small pieces.
